Description

[0003] On the one hand, the excavation environment of an electric shovel is harsh, and it interacts directly with the rock and soil, making it difficult to directly monitor the structural health of the working device, such as key data such as stress. Sensors are easily interfered with in harsh environments, making it difficult to accurately and stably obtain stress information, and the installation and maintenance costs are high. On the other hand, the excavation process involves the intersection of multiple disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, and geotechnical. The coupling relationship between these disciplines is complex, which poses a great challenge to high-precision indirect measurement modeling. Traditional modeling methods are difficult to accurately describe this complex relationship, affecting the reliability of monitoring. In addition, some current monitoring systems can only monitor situations such as the detachment of the electric shovel bucket, and are insufficient for deep-level health monitoring such as the stress state of the internal structure of the working device. They are also weak in the early warning capability of exceeding the safe stress range, and are unable to promptly detect potential structural failure risks.

Unless otherwise specified, these terms should be understood according to their ordinary and usual meanings.

[0021] This paper proposes a health detection method for the working device of a mining electric shovel based on multidisciplinary digital twins to improve the early warning capability of mining electric shovels exceeding the stress safety range in complex working environments.

[0022] First, to efficiently cover the full range of motion postures of a mining shovel, the present invention employs a Latin hypercube sampling method for sample collection. This method, through a stratified balanced sampling strategy, ensures comprehensiveness of posture parameters (including dipper arm inclination angle and thrust displacement) while significantly reducing the number of samples, thereby fully reflecting the characteristics of actual operating conditions. Furthermore, discrete element modeling software (EDEM) is used to construct a material particle model, simulating the particle-level mechanical properties of soil and rock, and accurately capturing load data such as the interaction forces between the bucket and the material. Using the discrete element modeling software, given posture sample data, data is captured regarding the excavation load and interaction between the mining shovel and the material during excavation. Finite element modeling software (Ansys) is used to construct a structural model of the mining shovel, simulate the stress-strain characteristics of its components, and calculate its nodal stress data. Using the finite element modeling software, given the excavation load, posture sample data, and material mass, nodal stress data is obtained for the mining shovel's working device. The collected data includes motion information of the mining shovel (such as the angle, angular velocity, elongation, and elongation velocity of the working device), material mass, excavation load data, and nodal stress data. After completing data collection, the obtained mining data, material quality and load data are processed based on the requirements of model training and testing. According to the input and output of the following two neural networks, the data is divided into two data sets, where data set 1 corresponds to the LSTM neural network model and data set 2 corresponds to the RBF neural network model.

[0023] Next, the data from the two datasets was divided, with 80% used as the training set and 20% as the test set. Two neural network models were constructed: an LSTM neural network model and an RBF neural network model. These neural networks were trained and validated using the datasets, capturing the inherent connections between input and output during the mining process, extracting key feature data, and forming accurate and efficient feature maps. The LSTM neural network model used the training set from dataset 1 to learn the nonlinear mapping relationship between the mining shovel's motion information and load response, and the accuracy of this mapping relationship was verified using the test set. The RBF neural network model used the training set from dataset 2 to learn the nonlinear mapping relationship between the mining shovel's motion information, load, and nodal stress, and the accuracy of this mapping relationship was verified using the test set. Based on these trained neural networks, highly accurate mining load and mining stress prediction models were constructed.

[0024] Finally, the mining shovel is equipped with an inclination sensor, a cable encoder, and a lidar. The inclination sensor and cable encoder acquire the shovel's posture data in real time. This data is transmitted to a virtual model of the mining shovel and the working environment within the virtual game engine via the GATT protocol of the Unity BLE plug-in, synchronizing the virtual model with the real-world shovel to form a digital twin. The lidar scans the material surface to obtain the material surface equation. Combined with the given excavation trajectory equation, the material mass is calculated using differential integration. The posture data and material mass are input into the excavation load prediction model to obtain load data. Furthermore, the load data, posture data, and material mass are input into the excavation stress prediction model to predict node stress data. The node stress data and other data are then input into the digital twin model, and the node stress data is rendered onto the mining shovel, enabling real-time monitoring of the mining shovel's stress conditions.

The virtual model is then debugged to ensure consistent motion with the mining shovel, completing the construction of the digital twin model.
