Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of automatic control, and in particular refers to an intelligent-based automatic control system for a concrete mixing station. Background Art

[0002] The intelligent concrete mixing plant automation control system integrates the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and automated control technologies to build an intelligent management platform that integrates production process monitoring, resource optimization and scheduling, and precise quality control. The system relies on a sensor network to achieve real-time collection and transmission of key parameters such as the operating status of mixing plant equipment, raw material ratios, and energy consumption data. It uses industrial control computers and programmable controllers to build a closed-loop control core, combining fuzzy control theory and step-by-step fault-tolerance technology to ensure the safety and stability of the production process.

[0003] However, the existing automated control systems for concrete mixing plants still have certain defects. The existing model construction and maintenance costs are high. High-precision geometric modeling and physical property integration require reliance on professional software tools, which require high hardware computing power and software licensing fees, and small mixing plants may not be able to afford them. Model training relies on high-quality historical data. If the mixing plant is a new project or equipment is frequently replaced, there is a lack of sufficient historical energy consumption and operating condition data, which may lead to difficulty in algorithm convergence and poor initial optimization results. The reliability of sensor data directly affects the prediction accuracy. If the vibration sensor or infrared thermal imager generates noise due to environmental interference, the attention mechanism may mistakenly focus on non-critical features, resulting in residual life prediction deviations. For this reason, an intelligent automated control system for concrete mixing plants is proposed. Summary of the Invention

The intelligent concrete mixing plant automation control system according to claim 1 is characterized in that: The dynamic quality traceability module collects key parameters of each batch of production in real time through a sensor network deployed at the concrete mixing plant. It uses QR code technology to assign a unique identification code to each batch of concrete, and simultaneously records process parameters and production logs through the MES system. Automated testing equipment is installed at the concrete discharge port, during the curing stage, and when finished products leave the factory. The test results are bound to the batch identification code, and the time sequence of production parameters and quality data is aligned through edge computing nodes. A distributed database is used to store structured production parameters and unstructured test reports. Key indicators are extracted through feature engineering, and a machine learning model is used to establish a regression relationship between production parameters and quality indicators. Abnormal batches that deviate from the threshold are monitored in real time and early warning signals are triggered. The digital twin platform is used to visualize batch production processes, parameter trends, and test results in the form of three-dimensional animations and heat maps, supporting forward and reverse tracing. Combined with similar historical cases, data-driven suggestions are provided for process optimization.

10. The intelligent concrete mixing plant automation control system according to claim 1, characterized in that: The multi-objective collaborative scheduling module collects production demand, resource status, and external factors in real time through a sensor network deployed at concrete mixing plants, transport vehicles, and construction sites. It then uses edge computing nodes to cleanse and align data, and construct a dynamic demand and resource status matrix. The scheduling problem is expressed as a multi-objective mathematical model, and mixed integer linear programming is used to construct the objective function and constraints. Based on real-time demand fluctuations and changes in resource status, a rolling time domain optimization method is adopted to re-solve the scheduling plan within the time window. Combined with the scheduling results simulated on the digital twin platform, scheduling instructions are generated that include task allocation, loading sequence, driving route and emergency alternative plans; the scheduling instructions are sent to the mixing station PLC, transport vehicle terminals and construction management APP through the industrial Internet of Things platform, using the 5G network to achieve millisecond-level response, and an exception handling mechanism is deployed at the same time.
