Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a safe loading method for a mining electric shovel based on unmanned operation, belonging to the technical field of mining machinery automation. Background Art
[0002] In open-pit mining, discontinuous processes are widely used due to their flexibility and adaptability. Electric mining shovels, key equipment for discontinuous mining in open-pit mines, offer advantages such as high output, high energy efficiency, and a long service life. However, due to their harsh working environment and high vibration intensity, operators are prone to fatigue and physical discomfort, resulting in low efficiency and even accidents. With the development of science and technology and policy encouragement, research on unmanned electric shovels is imperative. Safe loading methods for electric mining shovels in unmanned mode are crucial.
[0003] Currently, publicly available anti-collision technologies for mining electric shovels have certain technical limitations. For example, Chinese patents 201811119171.0 and 202111312433.7 both achieve anti-collision between the bucket and the machine body through position limiting, speed control, or posture detection, but do not consider the dynamic relative position relationship between the electric shovel and the mining car. Chinese patent 202410573824.1 uses millimeter-wave radar to monitor obstacles, but does not integrate efficient loading planning. Chinese patent 202410027340.7 proposes process optimization for unmanned collaborative operations, but still has shortcomings in terms of safety, anti-collision, and loading efficiency.
[0004] At the same time, the efficiency of unmanned loading of mining electric shovels is also insufficient: traditional loading relies on manual experience, and the landing point is highly random, resulting in many loading times and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a safe loading method for a mining electric shovel based on unmanned operation. By comprehensively considering the relative position relationship between the mining electric shovel and the mining dump truck during the loading process, the occurrence of collision accidents is effectively avoided, thereby improving the safety of the operation.

[0046] Preferably, the minimum value p of the projection distance of the center point coordinates of the dump truck and the four corner point coordinates in the xOy coordinate plane of the three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system O-XYZ is 0n , specifically obtained through the following steps:
[0047] Based on the RTK principle, a set of RTK rover stations are deployed on the rotary platform of the mining shovel and the top of the mining dump truck.

[0048] Combined with the angle θ between the rotary platform of the mining electric shovel and the y-axis s , the angle θ of the mining dump truck relative to the y-axis is obtained by conversion v ;
[0049] According to the mechanical structure relationship between the installation position of the mining electric shovel mobile station and the coordinate origin, the coordinates of the mining electric shovel mobile station relative to the origin O are calculated; then, through coordinate transformation, the coordinates of the mining dump truck mobile station relative to the origin O are obtained;

[0054] Preferably, the safety distance between the mining electric shovel body and the mining dump truck is 0.5m.

[0071] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and in no way serves as any limitation on the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the relative arrangement of components and steps, expressions and numerical values described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. Technologies, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant fields may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods and equipment should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0072] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations).
[0073] The method for safe loading of a mining electric shovel based on unmanned operation of the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0074] Step 1: Establish a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system O-XYZ:
[0075] like Figure 1As shown, the electric mining shovel includes dual tracks 4, a bucket arm 2, a hoist rope 3, and a bucket. One end of the hoist rope is connected to the bucket, and the other end is connected to the power output of the hoisting mechanism. Driven by the hoisting mechanism, the hoist rope pulls the bucket in vertical linear motion. One end of the bucket arm is connected to the bucket, and the other end is connected to the pushing mechanism. Driven by the pushing mechanism, the bucket moves forward and backward linearly. The dual tracks 4 are driven by the left and right walking mechanisms for linear motion at the same speed and for differential steering. The slewing mechanism drives the shovel's rotational center, allowing it to rotate 360° around the center.
[0076] like Figure 2-4 As shown in the figure, the length, width, and height of a mining dump truck bucket are l0, w0, and h0, respectively. A three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system O-XYZ is established, with the ground projection of the mining shovel's rotation center as the origin O. The z-axis is the elevation direction of the mining shovel, and the ground is approximately considered a plane. The y-axis is the direction in which the boom is parallel to the left and right track shoes and the bucket is located in the middle and directly in front. The x-axis is perpendicular to the y-axis and points to the right. Lengths are in meters, and angles are in degrees.
[0077] Step 2: Get the center point p of the mining shovel bucket bottom line S Coordinates:
[0078] To obtain the center point p of the bucket bottom line S The coordinates (x S ,y S ,z S), the present invention installs some sensors on the mining electric shovel, specifically: absolute encoders are installed on the pushing shaft and the lifting drum shaft respectively, a dual-axis inclinometer is installed on the slewing platform (a dual-axis ±40° inclinometer can be selected), a single-axis inclinometer is installed on the saddle (a single-axis 360° inclinometer can be selected), and an absolute encoder is installed at the slewing center. Therefore, the distance the mining electric shovel bucket arm is pushed out can be calculated based on the data detected by the absolute encoder installed on the pushing shaft, the length of the lifting rope below the sheave can be calculated based on the data detected by the absolute encoder installed on the lifting drum shaft, the inclination of the slewing platform can be calculated based on the data detected by the dual-axis inclinometer installed on the slewing platform, the angle between the bucket arm and the horizontal plane can be calculated based on the data detected by the single-axis inclinometer installed on the saddle, and the angle between the slewing platform and the y-axis can be calculated based on the data detected by the absolute encoder installed on the slewing center. It should be noted here that other types of angle sensors can be considered to replace dual-axis inclinometers and single-axis inclinometers, such as fiber optic gyroscopes, as long as the corresponding angle information can be accurately measured. For absolute encoders that measure distance, other distance measuring devices such as laser distance sensors can also be explored as substitutes. Through reasonable installation and calibration, data such as the arm push-out distance and the height of the hoist rope can be obtained. According to the obtained distance of the mining electric shovel arm push-out, the length of the hoist rope under the sheave, the inclination of the slewing platform, the angle between the arm and the horizontal plane, and the angle between the slewing platform and the y-axis, combined with the mechanical structure dimensions of the mining electric shovel, the center point p of the bottom line of the bucket can be calculated. S The coordinates (x S ,y S ,z S ).
[0079] Step 3: Obtain the minimum value p of the projection distance of the center point coordinates of the dump truck and its four corner points in the xOy coordinate plane of the three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system O-XYZ 0n :
[0080] In order to obtain the minimum value p of the projection distance of the center point coordinates of the dump truck and its four corner points in the xOy coordinate plane of the three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system O-XYZ 0n The present invention uses the RTK principle to arrange a set of mobile stations on the rotary platform of the mining shovel and the top of the mining dump truck, and arrange a set of reference stations in an open and wide place nearby. The coordinates of the mining shovel and the mining dump truck mobile stations relative to the reference stations can be obtained, as well as the yaw angles of the mining shovel and the mining dump truck relative to the same geographical position. Combined with the angle θ between the mining shovel rotary platform and the y-axis, the coordinates of the mining shovel and the mining dump truck mobile stations relative to the reference stations can be obtained. s , the angle θ of the mining dump truck relative to the y-axis can be obtained by conversion vAccording to the mechanical structure relationship between the installation position and the coordinate origin, the coordinates of the mining shovel mobile station relative to the origin O are calculated; then, through coordinate transformation, the coordinates of the mining dump truck mobile station relative to the origin O are obtained; then, according to the mechanical structure relationship between the mining dump truck mobile station and the center point of the truck bed and the body angle θ v , get the coordinates p of the center point of the mining dump truck bucket v (x v ,y v ,h0) and the coordinates of the four corner points of the mining dump truck p 01 (x 01 ,y 01 ,h0),p 02 (x 02 ,y 02 ,h0),p 03 (x 03 ,y 03 ,h0),p 04 (x 04 ,y 04 ,h0), projection distance on the xOy coordinate plane By comparing p v 、p 01 、p 02 、p 03 、p 04 , and obtain the minimum value p of the projection distance between the center point and each corner point of the mining dump truck on the xOy coordinate plane 0n Of course, in addition to using RTK positioning systems, the present invention can also consider using other high-precision positioning systems, such as those based on ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. UWB base stations and tags are rationally arranged on the mining shovel and mining dump truck, as well as in the surrounding environment. The position and relative relationship information of the vehicle and the shovel are acquired through the transmission and processing of UWB signals.
[0081] Step 4: Obtain the maximum turning radius p0 of the mining shovel in the xOy coordinate plane and the bucket height z S0 =h0+Δh, the maximum distance p that can be reached max , the closest distance p min :
[0082] like Figure 2 , in the xOy coordinate plane, the maximum turning radius of the mining electric shovel body is In order to ensure the safety of the electric shovel loading operation, the bucket height needs to be higher than the mine car by Δh before rotary loading is allowed. S =h0+Δh, the maximum distance that can be reached is The closest distance is Where: (x max ,y max) represents the farthest position coordinate that the bucket can reach, (x min ,y min ) represents the closest position coordinates that the bucket can reach.
[0083] Step 5: Build a safe collision avoidance strategy for mining shovels and mining dump trucks:
[0084] During the loading process, the mining shovel performs safety anti-collision control based on the relative distance to the nearest point of the mining dump truck's parking position. The specific strategy is as follows:
[0085] ①When p 0n When ≤p0+Δp, the slewing mechanism of the mining electric shovel is prohibited from moving, and the given torque and speed of the slewing mechanism motor are both 0. Where, Δp is the safe distance between the mining electric shovel body and the mining dump truck, and its value is 0.5m.
[0086] ②When p0+Δp<p 0n ≤p max When the mining shovel body does not collide with the mining dump truck, the anti-collision between the mining shovel bucket and the mining dump truck is considered. Therefore, only when z S > h0+Δh, the mining shovel is allowed to rotate, where Δh is the safe height of the mining shovel bucket above the mining dump truck during loading, which is 0.3m. min <p v ≤p max When the stop point of the mining dump truck meets the distance requirement for mining electric shovel loading, the mining electric shovel is loaded according to the unmanned loading strategy described later.
[0087] When p max <p 0n When the mining dump truck is out of the loading distance range of the mining electric shovel, the mining dump truck needs to reselect a parking point.
[0088] Step 6: Build an unmanned mining shovel loading strategy:
[0089] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 For the loading operation of mining electric shovel and matching mining dump truck, it usually takes 3 to 5 shovels to fill the bucket. All loading strategies must meet the requirements of the bucket height z S >h0+Δh. A coordinate system x1O1y1 is established with the mining dump truck p04 as the origin. The following points are all expressed in this coordinate system.

[0092] The loading point p2 of the second shovel on the mining dump truck is the vertical center axis of the truck bucket, close to the 1 / 4 of the truck length, and the coordinates are
[0093] The loading point p3 of the third shovel on the mining dump truck is the 1 / 4 of the vehicle length near the rear of the vehicle on the vertical axis of the bucket. The coordinates are
[0094] ② Figure 4 Loading strategy for unmanned mining shovels with 4 shovels:
[0095] The loading point p1 of the first shovel on the mining dump truck is located at the vertical center axis of the truck bucket, close to the front of the truck, and its coordinates are
[0096] The loading point p2 of the second shovel on the mining dump truck is 1 / 3 of the vehicle width where the horizontal center axis of the truck bed is farther from the mining electric shovel. The coordinates are
[0097] The loading point p3 of the third shovel on the mining dump truck is the 1 / 3 vehicle width where the horizontal center axis of the truck bucket is closest to the mining electric shovel. The coordinates are
[0098] The loading point p4 of the fourth shovel on the mining dump truck is the 1 / 4 of the vehicle length near the rear of the vehicle on the vertical axis of the bucket, and its coordinates are
[0099] ③ Figure 5 This is a five-shovel loading strategy for an unmanned mining electric shovel. The fourth and fifth shovels are appropriately moved forward to prevent excessive material from spilling during movement at the rear of the vehicle.
