When the length of the clamping arm 501 is synchronously adjusted, the lifting ring 70 is driven downward by the second hydraulic cylinder 7010, and the abutment column 704 will abut against the outside of the extension plate 602, so that the extension plate 602 drives the sliding sleeve 60 to move downward, so that the magnet ring 601 is not adsorbed and fixed to the bottom of the bevel gear 5011.

[0062] In this embodiment, a driving assembly is further provided in the first housing 10 , and the driving assembly is used to drive the multiple groups of rotating arms 50 to rotate synchronously.

[0064] The top of the second housing 20 is rotatably connected with a turntable 40, and the outside of the turntable 40 is hinged with multiple groups of connecting rods 401. One end of the connecting rod 401 is rotatably connected with a pin shaft 402, and the bottom of the pin shaft 402 is rotatably connected with a slide bar 4016.

The top of the second housing 20 corresponds to the position of the pin shaft 402, and the pin shaft 402 slides. Connected in the sliding hole 201, when the turntable 40 rotates, the turntable 40 drives the connecting rod 401 to move, the connecting rod 401 drives the pin 402 to slide, the pin 402 drives the sliding rod 4016 to slide, the sliding rod 4016 drives the slide plate 407 to rotate toward the center of the turntable 40 through the sliding column 403, and after the slide plate 407 slides, it will drive the second rack 409 to drive the second gear 4014 to rotate, and the second gear 4014 drives the rotating arm 50 and the clamping arm 501 to slide outward.

[0065] In this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a first hydraulic cylinder 30 fixedly connected to the first housing 10 and a first rack 301 fixedly connected to the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 30.

[0066] In order to ensure the stable sliding of the second rack 409 , a fixing frame 4010 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting frame 4012 , a slider 4011 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing frame 4010 , a slide groove 4015 is provided on the top of the second rack 409 , and the slider 4011 is slidably connected to the slide groove 4015 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the specific method of use is as follows:

[0068] The bottom of the equipment is connected to the mechanical arm of the excavator or other engineering vehicles. When it is necessary to clamp and transport ore, it is only necessary to start the first hydraulic cylinder 30, and the first hydraulic cylinder 30 drives the first rack 301 to slide, and the first rack 301 drives the first gear 302 to rotate, and the first gear 302 drives the turntable 40 to rotate through the rotating shaft 303, and the turntable 40 drives the connecting rod 401 to move, and the connecting rod 401 drives the pin 402 to slide, and the pin 402 drives the slide bar 4016 to slide, and the slide bar 4016 drives the slide plate 407 to rotate toward the center of the turntable 40 through the slide column 403, and after the slide plate 407 slides, it will drive the second rack 409 to drive the second gear 4014 to rotate, and the second gear 4014 drives the rotating arm 50 and the clamping arm 501 to slide outward, so as to open the outside of the clamping arm 501;

[0069] Then, through the operation of the excavator, multiple groups of clamping arms 501 are set on the outside of the ore, and then the hydraulic cylinder is started to work, so that the first gear 302 rotates in the opposite direction. The same principle is used, and the slide plate 407 slides outward, so that the ore can be clamped and fixed by the clamping arm 501. Then, the mechanical arm of the excavator is operated to lift the device, so that the ore can be grabbed and transferred;

[0070] If a larger ore is encountered, it is only necessary to start the second hydraulic cylinder 7010 to drive the lifting ring 70 and the conical ring 701 to move downward, so that the conical teeth 707 are meshed with the bevel gear 5011, and then the motor 708 is started to drive the third gear 709 to rotate, and the third gear 709 is meshed with the gear ring 702, so that the conical ring 701 can be driven to rotate, and the conical ring 701 drives the bevel gear 5011 to rotate through the conical teeth 707, and the nut block 505 with the bevel gear 5011 rotates. After the nut block 505 rotates, it can drive the threaded column 504 to move downward through the limiting guide of the limiting rod 507, and the threaded column 504 drives the clamping arm 501 to move downward, so that the length of the clamping arm 501 can be increased, which is convenient for further clamping of larger ores.

[0071] In addition, after the lifting ring 70 moves downward, the abutment column 704 abuts against the outside of the extension plate 602, allowing the extension plate 602 to drive the sliding sleeve 60 to move downward, so that the magnet ring 601 is not adsorbed and fixed to the bottom of the bevel gear 5011;

[0072] After the adjustment is completed, the second hydraulic cylinder 7010 drives the lifting ring 70 to move upward and retract to the bottom of the second housing 20. Figure 1 As shown in , the rotation of the clamping arm 501 is not affected;

[0073] In addition, after the lifting ring 70 slides upward, the abutment column 704 no longer abuts against the extension plate 602, and the sliding sleeve 60, under the elastic force of the second spring 603, allows the magnet ring 601 to be adsorbed on the bottom of the bevel gear 5011 again, thereby adsorbing and fixing the bevel gear 5011.

[0074] In summary, in this embodiment, the length of the clamping arm 501 can be adjusted according to the size of the ore, so that ores of different sizes can be clamped and transported.

[0075] Embodiment 2:

[0076] The present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that, in the present embodiment, an iron plate 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 506 , an electromagnet 5010 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting rod 507 , and the electromagnet 5010 is in conflict with the iron plate 503 .

[0077] The above technical solution is explained as follows:

[0078] In the initial state, the electromagnet 5010 is adsorbed and fixed to the iron plate 503, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping arm 501. When the length of the clamping arm 501 needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to cut off the power of the electromagnet 5010 in advance so that the electromagnet 5010 is no longer adsorbed and fixed to the iron plate 503. After the adjustment of the clamping arm 501 is completed, the electromagnet 5010 is energized again so that the electromagnet 5010 is adsorbed and fixed to the iron plate 503.

[0079] Embodiment three:

[0080] In order to cooperate with the use of the first embodiment, this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that, in this embodiment, a control monitoring system is also provided;

[0081] The control and monitoring system is mainly composed of sensor module, data acquisition and transmission module, data analysis and processing module, control instruction generation module and actuator drive module. The modules work together to achieve comprehensive monitoring and intelligent control of the ore clamping device.

[0082] 1. The sensor module includes the following:

[0083] A high-precision pressure sensor is installed on the clamping arm 501 to measure the clamping force when clamping the ore. The strain gauge pressure sensor is based on the resistance strain effect. When pressure acts on the elastic element of the sensor, the resistance value of the strain gauge will change. By measuring the change in resistance value and according to the pre-calibrated resistance-pressure relationship curve, the clamping force can be accurately calculated. The measurement range of the sensor is 0-500kN, and the measurement accuracy can reach ±0.5%FS (full scale).

[0084] At the same time, a friction sensor is installed on the surface of the clamping arm 501 in contact with the ore to measure the friction of the ore during the clamping process. The sensor adopts the principle based on the piezoelectric effect. When the friction force acts on the sensitive element of the sensor, a charge signal is generated. The charge signal is converted into a voltage signal through a charge amplifier, and then the friction force is calculated according to the calibrated voltage-friction force relationship curve. Its measurement range is 0-100kN, and the accuracy is ±1%FS.

[0085] A high-definition industrial camera is also installed on the outside of the device (e.g., the first housing 10 or the second housing 20) as a visual sensor to obtain image information of the ore. The camera has a resolution of more than 20 million pixels and a frame rate of more than 30fps, which can clearly capture the shape, size, texture and other features of the ore. By processing the captured ore image through an image recognition algorithm, the geometric parameters of the ore such as volume and surface area can be calculated, providing a basis for subsequent clamping force optimization.

[0086] A rotary encoder is installed at the connection between the rotating arm 50 and the clamping arm 501 as a position sensor to accurately measure the rotation angle and extension length of the clamping arm 501. The rotary encoder adopts the photoelectric principle, converts the mechanical rotation angle into a pulse signal through photoelectric conversion, and calculates the position information of the clamping arm 501 according to the number of pulses. Its resolution can reach 0.1°, and the measurement accuracy is ±0.05°, which can meet the high-precision requirements of the clamping device for position control.

[0087] 2. Data collection and transmission mode:

[0088] The data acquisition card uses a high-speed multi-channel data acquisition card with a sampling frequency of more than 1kHz, which can simultaneously collect signals from mechanical sensors, visual sensors, and position sensors. The acquisition card converts the analog signals output by the sensor (such as the voltage signal of the pressure sensor, the charge signal of the friction sensor, etc.) into digital signals with a conversion accuracy of more than 16 bits, and transmits the converted digital signals to the data processing unit.

[0089] Data transmission is carried out by combining industrial Ethernet and wireless Wi-Fi. At the mining site, when the distance between devices is short and the network environment is stable, industrial Ethernet is used for data transmission to ensure the high speed and reliability of data transmission; when the device is in a mobile state or in an area where network wiring is inconvenient, it is switched to wireless Wi-Fi for data transmission. The data transmission process uses encryption protocols, such as SSL / TLS encryption protocols, to ensure the security and integrity of the data.

[0090] The received sensor data is filtered to remove noise interference. For the data of the pressure sensor and friction sensor, the mean filter algorithm is used, that is, multiple data points are continuously collected and their average value is calculated as the effective data to reduce data fluctuations. For the image data obtained by the visual sensor, the median filter algorithm is used to effectively remove the salt and pepper noise in the image and improve the image quality.

[0091] Normalize the data and convert sensor data of different ranges and units into a unified standard scale to facilitate subsequent data analysis and calculation. For example, normalize the clamping force data to between 0 and 1, and convert the position data into relative coordinate values ​​relative to the initial position of the clamping device.

[0092] The above technical solution is explained as follows: In this embodiment, the received sensor data is filtered to remove noise interference. For the data of the pressure sensor and the friction sensor, a mean filtering algorithm is adopted, that is, multiple data points are continuously collected and their average value is calculated as the valid data to reduce data fluctuations.

[0093] For the image data obtained by the visual sensor, the median filter algorithm is used to effectively remove the salt and pepper noise in the image, improve the image quality, and normalize the data to convert the sensor data of different ranges and units into a unified standard scale to facilitate subsequent data analysis and calculation. For example, the clamping force data is normalized to between 0 and 1, and the position data is converted into relative coordinate values ​​relative to the initial position of the clamping device.

[0094] According to the ore image information obtained by the visual sensor, the image segmentation algorithm is used to separate the ore from the background and extract the contour features of the ore. Then, the 3D model of the ore is constructed through the 3D reconstruction algorithm to calculate the ore's volume, center of gravity and other physical parameters.

[0095] At the same time, combined with the friction data measured by the mechanical sensor, the friction coefficient calculation formula is used for calculation, the formula is as follows:

[0096] ;

[0097] in, is the friction coefficient, is the friction force, is the positive pressure, where the positive pressure is approximately equal to the clamping force, and the friction coefficient between the ore and the clamping arm 501 is calculated, so as to further analyze the material characteristics of the ore;

[0098] Regarding the optimization calculation of the clamping force, the optimal clamping force is calculated based on the weight, volume, shape, friction coefficient and other parameters of the ore using the principle of mechanical balance to ensure that the ore will neither slip nor be damaged due to excessive clamping force during the clamping process; the calculation formula is as follows:

[0099] ;

[0100] in, is the optimal clamping force (N), is the mass of ore (kg), is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 ), is the friction coefficient, It is the safety factor (generally 1.2-1.5, determined according to the stability of the ore and the mining environment).

[0101] In this embodiment, a fault diagnosis and early warning module is also provided, which is specifically as follows:

[0102] A fault diagnosis model based on sensor data is established. By real-time monitoring of the mechanical parameters (such as clamping force, friction force), position parameters, and pressure and flow of the hydraulic system of the clamping device, a comparative analysis is performed with the parameter range under normal working conditions. When a parameter exceeds the preset threshold range, the expert system algorithm is used to perform fault diagnosis to determine the fault type and possible causes of the fault. For example, if the clamping force suddenly drops and the hydraulic system pressure is normal, it may be that the pressure sensor on the clamping arm 501 is faulty; if the hydraulic system pressure increases abnormally and the flow decreases, it may be that the hydraulic pipeline is blocked. Once a fault is diagnosed, a fault warning signal is immediately generated, and the fault information is sent to the monitoring center of the mine.

[0103] Among them, control instructions can also be generated according to the clamping force optimization calculation results and fault diagnosis conditions. The control instructions include opening control instructions for the hydraulic solenoid valve in the hydraulic pipeline of the first hydraulic cylinder 30 to adjust the size of the clamping force; the control instructions are in the form of digital signals and are sent to the actuator drive module through the communication interface.

[0104] The design of the actuator drive module is as follows:

[0105] After receiving the control command, the drive circuit controls the opening of the hydraulic solenoid valve in the hydraulic pipeline of the first hydraulic cylinder 30 according to the command. Pulse width modulation (PWM) technology is used to control the ratio of the power-on time and the power-off time of the solenoid valve, so as to accurately adjust the flow and pressure of the hydraulic oil and realize precise control of the clamping force. For example, when the clamping force needs to be increased, the duty cycle of the PWM signal is increased to increase the opening of the solenoid valve, increase the flow of hydraulic oil, and push the clamping arm 501 to clamp the ore; conversely, the duty cycle of the PWM signal is reduced to reduce the clamping force.

[0106] In summary, in this embodiment, a complete sensor network and data acquisition and transmission system are constructed, which can monitor the various parameters of the clamping device in real time, and establish a fault diagnosis model based on sensor data, so as to realize the timely discovery, accurate diagnosis and early warning of equipment faults, solve the lag problem of traditional clamping devices in fault monitoring and processing, reduce the equipment downtime and maintenance time, improve the continuity and production efficiency of mining operations, and realize the full intelligent operation from ore characteristic analysis, clamping force optimization calculation to fault diagnosis and control instruction generation, significantly improve the intelligence level of ore clamping devices, meet the requirements of automation and intelligence of modern mining operations, and reduce the intensity of manual operation and the risk of human error. Because the clamping force can be accurately controlled, the damage to the ore caused by excessive clamping force is avoided, so that the loss of ore during mining and transportation is greatly reduced. Accurate clamping force control and real-time fault diagnosis and early warning functions significantly reduce the probability of safety accidents such as ore slippage. At the same time, timely measures can be taken when equipment fails, which ensures the safety of on-site operators and equipment and reduces casualties and property losses caused by safety accidents.
