Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of conveying equipment, and particularly to an automatic and uniform sugarcane unloading device. Background Art

[0002] The automatic and uniform sugarcane unloading device is applied to the technical field of conveying equipment, aiming to achieve automatic and uniform sugarcane unloading and efficient connection with subsequent processing procedures; in the sugarcane processing industry, the sugarcane unloading link is the starting key step of the entire production process, and its unloading effect directly affects the efficiency and quality of subsequent processing.

[0003] Traditional sugarcane unloading devices have many deficiencies; on the one hand, there are no effective monitoring and control means for the distribution of sugarcane, making it difficult to ensure the uniform distribution of sugarcane during transportation. Local accumulation or vacancies often occur, resulting in low unloading efficiency and affecting the normal operation of subsequent processing equipment; on the other hand, traditional devices cannot adjust the conveying speed of sugarcane according to the processing capacity and rhythm of subsequent processing procedures, easily causing situations of excessive or insufficient sugarcane supply, which not only wastes resources but may also damage the processing equipment due to overload or idling, increasing production costs and equipment maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes an automatic and uniform sugarcane unloading device, which realizes the uniform distribution of sugarcane among different regions and the matching of sugarcane supply and processing requirements by partitioning the equipment rack, collecting data in real time by detectors, and precisely analyzing and adjusting the speed of the conveying equipment by the upper computer, effectively solving the deficiencies of traditional sugarcane unloading devices and improving the unloading efficiency and the stability of the entire processing process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Technical problem to be solved: The problem of difficult to ensure the uniform distribution of sugarcane during transportation.

[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic and uniform sugarcane unloading device, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The automatic and uniform sugarcane unloading device includes an upper computer and a lower computer;

[0009] The lower computer includes an equipment rack, a plurality of conveying devices, a plurality of detectors, and a tearing device. The equipment rack is in an "F" shape and is divided into five regions: A1, A2, B1, B2, and C. Each region is further subdivided into a plurality of sub-regions according to the number of conveying devices.

[0010] A conveying device is installed in each sub - area. The conveying device includes a bracket, a motor is installed inside the bracket, a pulley is rotatably connected to the bracket, a gear set is installed between one of the pulleys and the output end of the motor, a conveyor belt is sleeved between the two pulleys, a controller is installed inside the bracket, a detector b is arranged above areas A1 and B1, a detector a is arranged above areas A2 and B2, a detector c is arranged above area C, and the tearing device is arranged at the rear side of area C;

[0011] The host computer includes a data acquisition module, an analysis module, and an adjustment module. The host computer and the slave computer perform data transmission through a communication protocol.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the data acquisition module establishes communication connections with detector a, detector b, and detector c, and is used to collect information such as the position, quantity, and stacking state of sugarcane in areas A1, A2, B1, B2, and C in real - time.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the analysis module is used to process and analyze the data transmitted by the data acquisition module. Based on the principle of regional load balancing, it compares the stacking amounts of sugarcane in the sub - areas of each region, judges whether the distribution of sugarcane between regions is balanced, and combines the processing capabilities and rhythms of the tearing device and subsequent processing procedures. According to the amount of sugarcane in area C fed back by detector c, it evaluates whether the current sugarcane supply matches the processing demand.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the adjustment module formulates and executes a material - equalizing strategy according to the results of the analysis module. When the regional load is unbalanced, it sends instructions to the controllers of the conveying devices in the corresponding regional sub - areas to adjust the conveying speed;

[0015] When the processing rhythm changes, according to the feedback of detector c, it instructs the conveying devices in areas A1, A2, B1, and B2 to adjust the conveying speed;

[0016] At the same time, it monitors the running state of the equipment in real - time, and issues an alarm and adjusts the material - equalizing strategy when an abnormal situation occurs.

[0017] Beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0018] 1. In this solution, through equipment zoning, real - time monitoring by detectors, and precise regulation of the conveying equipment speed by the host computer, the uniform distribution of sugarcane between different regions is achieved. The equipment rack is divided into multiple regions and sub - areas. The detectors collect information such as the position, quantity, and stacking state of sugarcane. The analysis module of the host computer judges the distribution situation based on the principle of regional load balancing, and the adjustment module instructs the conveying devices in different sub - areas to change the speed accordingly. For example, when the sugarcane in a certain sub - area of area A1 accumulates too much, its conveying speed is reduced, and the speed of the corresponding sub - area in area A2 is increased, so that the sugarcane flows reasonably, avoiding local accumulation, and improving the sugarcane unloading efficiency and the operation stability of the equipment;

[0019] 2. In this solution, the host computer adjusts the conveying speed in combination with the tearing equipment and the subsequent processing operation capabilities, achieving the matching of sugarcane supply and processing requirements. The host computer analysis module evaluates the supply demand based on the amount of sugarcane in area C fed back by detector c and in combination with the processing capacity of the tearing equipment; when the processing capacity of the tearing equipment increases, the host computer commands the conveying equipment in areas A1, A2, B1, and B2 to increase the speed to ensure supply; when the processing capacity decreases, the speed is reduced to prevent excessive accumulation of sugarcane in area C, ensuring the stable and efficient progress of the entire processing process and reducing resource waste and equipment wear and tear.

[0026] The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in various different forms. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. In addition, in order to describe the present invention more clearly, components not connected to the invention will be omitted from the drawings;

[0027] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the problems in the above background technology. The general idea is as follows:

[0028] Embodiment:

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment introduces the specific structure of the automatic and uniform sugarcane unloading device. The automatic and uniform sugarcane unloading device consists of a host computer and a slave computer. The host computer includes a material leveling system and is mainly responsible for overall scheduling, monitoring, and formulating material leveling strategies. The slave computer includes an equipment rack and related execution components, which perform specific operations such as sugarcane transportation and detection.

[0030] 1. Structure and Function of the Slave Computer

[0031] 1.1 Equipment Rack: The equipment rack 1 is in an "F" shape and is divided into five areas: A1, A2, B1, B2, and C. Each area is further subdivided into multiple sub-areas according to the number of conveying devices 2. There are n sub-areas under area A1, denoted as A 11 , A 12 , …, A 1n , there are n sub-areas under area A2, denoted as A 21 , A 22 , …, A 2n , there are n sub-areas under area B1, denoted as B 11 , B 12 , …, B 1n , there are n sub-areas under area B2, denoted as B 21 , B 22 , …, B 2n , there are n sub-areas under area C, denoted as C1, C2, …, C n ; This zoning design facilitates the transportation and management of sugarcane at different positions.

[0032] 1.2 Conveying Device: A conveying device 2 is installed in each sub-area. The conveying device 2 includes a bracket 201. Inside the bracket 201, there is a motor 202. The bracket 201 is rotatably connected with a pulley 203. Between one side of the pulley 203 and the output end of the motor 202, there is a gear set 204. A conveyor belt 205 is sleeved between the two pulleys 203. Inside the bracket 201, there is a controller 206. The motor 202 drives the pulley 203 to rotate through the gear set 204, thereby driving the conveyor belt 205 to convey sugarcane. The controller 206 can achieve local control of the operating state of the conveying device.

[0033] 1.3 Detector: A detector b4 is set above areas A1 and B1, a detector a3 is set above areas A2 and B2, and a detector c5 is set above area C. These detectors are used to detect information such as the position, quantity, and stacking state of sugarcane in the corresponding areas and feedback the data to the host computer to provide a basis for material leveling control.

[0034] 1.4 Tearing Device: A tearing device 6 is set at the rear of area C, which is used to perform tearing pretreatment on the conveyed sugarcane for subsequent processing procedures.

[0035] 2. Functions of the Host Computer and Material Leveling Strategy

[0036] 2.1. The host computer includes a data acquisition module, an analysis module, and an adjustment module. The specific work content of each module is as follows:

[0037] 2.1.1. Data acquisition module: Establish a stable communication connection with detector a3, detector b4, and detector c5, and collect information such as the position, quantity, and stacking status of sugarcane in areas A1, A2, B1, B2, and C in real time; for example, continuously obtain the sugarcane stacking height data of each sub-area in area A2 fed back by detector a3, and the sugarcane distribution in area A1 detected by detector b4, etc., to provide a comprehensive and accurate data basis for subsequent analysis;

[0038] 2.1.2. Analysis module: Deeply process and analyze the data transmitted by the data acquisition module; on the one hand, based on the principle of regional load balancing, compare the stacking amounts of sugarcane in each sub-area of each region to determine whether the sugarcane distribution among regions is balanced; if it is found that there is too much sugarcane stacked in some sub-areas of area A1, while the corresponding sub-areas in area A2 have a light load, it is determined that there is an uneven distribution problem; on the other hand, combined with the processing capacity and rhythm of the tearing equipment 6 and subsequent processing procedures, and based on the sugarcane quantity in area C fed back by detector c5, evaluate whether the current sugarcane supply matches the processing demand;

[0039] 2.1.3 Adjustment module: Develop and execute a material equalization strategy according to the results of the analysis module; when the regional load is unbalanced, such as when there is too much sugarcane stacked in some sub-areas of area A1, send an instruction to the controller 206 of the conveying equipment in the relevant sub-areas of area A1 to appropriately reduce its conveying speed; at the same time, increase the speed of the conveying equipment in the corresponding sub-areas of area A2 to promote the reasonable flow of sugarcane between different regions and achieve uniform distribution; when the processing rhythm changes, if the processing capacity of the tearing equipment increases, according to the feedback of detector c5, instruct the conveying equipment in areas A1, A2, B1, and B2 to increase the conveying speed to ensure sufficient sugarcane supply; conversely, reduce the conveying speed to avoid excessive stacking of sugarcane in area C; in addition, the adjustment module also monitors the operating status of the equipment in real time. Once abnormal situations such as equipment failures or sugarcane blockages occur, it immediately issues an alarm to notify the staff and adjusts the material equalization strategy in a timely manner to maintain the stable operation of the system;

[0040] 2.2. The specific implementation of the host computer is as follows:

[0041] 2.2.1. Data reception and processing: The host computer receives information such as the position and quantity of sugarcane fed back by detector a3, detector b4, and detector c5, analyzes and processes the data, and grasps the distribution of sugarcane in each area of the equipment rack in real time;

[0042] 2.2.2. Material equalization strategy formulation

[0043] Based on regional load balancing: According to the stacking volume of sugarcane in each sub-region of the region, if it is found that the sugarcane in some sub-regions of Area A1 is stacked too much, and the host computer judges through analyzing the detector data that the corresponding sub-region in Area A2 has a lighter load, the host computer will send an instruction to the controller 206 of the conveying equipment in the relevant sub-regions of Area A1 in the lower computer to appropriately reduce its conveying speed. At the same time, increase the speed of the conveying equipment in the corresponding sub-region of Area A2 to make the distribution of sugarcane more balanced;

[0044] 2.2.3. Based on processing rhythm matching: Combine the processing capacity and rhythm of the tearing equipment 6 and subsequent processing procedures; if the processing capacity of the tearing equipment is improved, the host computer will, according to the amount of sugarcane in Area C fed back by the detector c5, instruct the conveying equipment in Areas A1, A2, B1, and B2 to increase the conveying speed to ensure the supply of sugarcane; otherwise, reduce the conveying speed to avoid sugarcane stacking;

[0045] 2.2.4. Instruction sending and monitoring: The host computer sends control instructions such as speed adjustment, start and stop to the controller 206 of the conveying equipment in each region according to the material averaging strategy, and monitors the operation status of the equipment and the sugarcane conveying situation in real time; if abnormal situations such as equipment failures or sugarcane blockages occur, the host computer will issue an alarm in time and adjust the material averaging strategy to ensure the stable operation of the system;

[0046] 3. Communication connection

[0047] Data transmission is carried out between the host computer and the lower computer through a reliable communication protocol (such as industrial Ethernet, RS-485, etc.); the detectors and the controllers of the conveying equipment establish stable connections with the host computer to ensure timely and accurate information transmission and guarantee the efficient operation of the material averaging system;

[0048] Specifically, the operation process is as follows:

[0049] Step 1. Sugarcane feeding stage

[0050] Sugarcane is conveyed by a transport vehicle or other feeding equipment to the conveyor belts in Areas A1, A2, B1, and B2 of the equipment rack; for example, a truck full of sugarcane dumps the sugarcane on the conveyor belt in Area A1, and the sugarcane on the conveyor belt starts to enter the sugarcane unloading device;

[0051] Step 2. Data acquisition stage

[0052] The data acquisition module plays a role, and the detectors a3, b4, and c5 collect information such as the position, quantity, and stacking status of sugarcane in each region in real time; assume that the detector a3 detects that the stacking height of sugarcane in Sub-region A of Area A2 reaches 80 cm, while the stacking height of sugarcane in Sub-region A of Area A is only 20 cm. These data will be immediately collected by the data acquisition module and transmitted to the host computer; 23 Sub-region sugarcane stacking height reaches 80 cm, while the sugarcane stacking height in Sub-region A of Area A is only 20 cm. These data will be immediately collected by the data acquisition module and transmitted to the host computer; 24 Sub-region sugarcane stacking height reaches 80 cm, while the sugarcane stacking height in Sub-region A of Area A is only 20 cm. These data will be immediately collected by the data acquisition module and transmitted to the host computer;

[0053] Step 3, Analysis Phase

[0054] After receiving the data, the analysis module processes it; in this example, based on the regional load balancing analysis, the analysis module determines that there is an excessive amount of sugarcane in Sub-region A 23 and a shortage of sugarcane in Sub-region A 24 , resulting in an unbalanced regional load; at the same time, considering the processing capacity and rhythm of the tearing equipment 6 and subsequent processing procedures, if the current processing capacity of the tearing equipment is stable and the amount of sugarcane in Area C is moderate, the analysis module determines that the current sugarcane supply and processing demand are basically matched;

[0055] Step 4, Adjustment Phase

[0056] The adjustment module formulates and executes a material equalization strategy based on the analysis results; for the situation in Area A2, the adjustment module sends instructions to the controller of the conveying equipment in Sub-region A 23 to reduce its conveying speed from 2 m / s to 1 m / s, and at the same time sends instructions to the controller of the conveying equipment in Sub-region A 24 to increase its conveying speed from 2 m / s to 3 m / s to achieve uniform distribution of sugarcane in Area A2; during the entire sugarcane unloading process, the adjustment module also monitors the operating status of the equipment in real time; if the detector b4 detects a sugarcane blockage in Sub-region B of Area B1 14 , the adjustment module immediately stops the operation of the conveying equipment in Sub-region B 14 and reduces the speed of the conveying equipment in adjacent sub-regions to prevent the blockage from worsening, and at the same time issues an alarm to notify the staff to clean it up;

[0057] Step 5, Sugarcane Conveying and Tearing Phase

[0058] After the material equalization adjustment, the sugarcane continues to be conveyed to Area C through the conveying equipment; when the sugarcane reaches Area C, the detector c5 detects the situation of the sugarcane, and the host computer controls the speed of the conveying equipment according to the detection results to ensure that the sugarcane enters the tearing equipment 6 at an appropriate speed for tearing processing; for example, when the detector c5 detects that there is a large accumulation of sugarcane in Area C, the host computer reduces the speed of the conveying equipment in Areas A1, A2, B1, and B2 to avoid excessive accumulation of sugarcane in Area C; assuming that the optimal feeding speed of the tearing equipment 6 is 5 sugarcanes per second, when the detector c5 detects that the sugarcane accumulation in Area C may cause the feeding speed to exceed 5 sugarcanes per second, the host computer will adjust the speed of the conveying equipment in other areas to ensure that the sugarcane can enter the tearing equipment at an appropriate speed;

[0059] Step 6, Sugarcane Blockage Handling

[0060] If the detector detects a sugarcane blockage in a certain area, the host computer adjusts the operating status of the relevant conveying equipment according to the blockage position and degree; for example, if the detector b4 detects a sugarcane blockage in Sub-region B of Area B1 14Sugar cane blockage occurs in the secondary area, and the host computer immediately stops B 14 the operation of the conveying equipment in the secondary area, and reduces the speed of the conveying equipment in adjacent secondary areas to prevent the blockage situation from deteriorating further; at the same time, an alarm is issued to notify the staff to clean up.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
