Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mining engineering technology, and more specifically, to a fully intelligent tailings dam stacking device. Background Technology
[0002] Tailings dams, as core facilities for storing tailings in mining operations, directly determine the safety of mine production and the effectiveness of protecting the surrounding ecological environment through the stability of their dam structure. In tailings dam construction, riprap filling is a crucial step, but existing construction methods still face several technical bottlenecks that urgently need to be addressed. First, construction efficiency is insufficient to meet the demands of large-scale operations. Currently, riprap filling mainly relies on a combination of manual handling and mechanical assistance. Limited by the upper limit of human labor capacity and the efficiency of multi-process collaboration, the daily riprap stacking volume is generally less than 100 cubic meters. For large tailings dams with filling volumes often in the millions of cubic meters, this level of efficiency not only prolongs the construction period but also indirectly increases project costs.
[0003] Secondly, the operational safety risks remain high. The dam slopes are mostly sloping, and the work areas are often accompanied by complex conditions such as loose rocks and mud. When manually moving rocks, it is easy to fall or collide due to loss of balance. Furthermore, construction workers face the direct risk of falling from great heights while climbing the dam, making safety protection extremely difficult.
[0004] Third, there are potential risks to the structural stability of the dam. The manual stacking of stones relies entirely on experience to determine their placement, making precise matching based on stone shape impossible. This results in insufficient interlocking between stones, with a gap rate often exceeding 20%, directly reducing the dam's shear strength and overall density, thus creating potential hazards for future settlement, landslides, and other geological disasters.
[0005] Fourth, the level of intelligent management and control is lagging behind. Existing technology lacks the ability to collect and analyze the three-dimensional shape of the boulders in real time, making it impossible to implement the scientific stacking principle of "large faces down to enhance load-bearing capacity and small faces to fill gaps," which makes it difficult for the mechanical performance of the dam structure to meet the design standards.
[0006] Therefore, developing a fully intelligent tailings dam device that integrates autonomous walking, intelligent grasping, precise positioning, and morphological analysis is key to breaking through existing technological bottlenecks and improving the quality and safety of tailings dam projects. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The fully automated tailings dam construction system represents a significant leap in construction efficiency. The device replaces traditional manual handling and semi-mechanized operation modes through the coordinated operation of the multi-claw gripping and releasing device and the continuous operation of the main frame device. This efficiency breakthrough not only meets the rapid construction needs of large tailings dams with a filling volume of millions of cubic meters, but also indirectly reduces the project cycle cost by reducing the time between processes, thus solving the efficiency bottleneck of large-scale dam construction. 2. The fully automated tailings dam system fundamentally reduces operational safety risks. The climbing device enables autonomous movement and stable support on dam slopes ranging from 30° to 60°, eliminating the need for manual climbing. The extension, rotation, and grabbing device, controlled by AI computing power, handles the grabbing, transporting, and stacking of boulders, completely avoiding the risks of falls and collisions during manual handling. Simultaneously, the positioning analysis and real-time monitoring functions of the frame connection device provide early warnings of dam slope anomalies, further enhancing operational safety and reducing the accident rate in high-risk working environments to near zero. 3. The fully automated tailings dam dam system exhibits significantly enhanced structural stability. By leveraging the 360° morphological data acquisition of the boulders using a four-eye rotating instrument and the intelligent analysis of the AI computing power, the device can precisely implement the stacking logic of "large faces down to enhance load-bearing capacity and small faces to fill gaps," thereby improving the interlocking strength between the boulders. This optimization directly enhances the shear strength of the dam body, effectively solving the settlement and landslide hazards caused by manual stacking, and ensuring that the long-term stability of the dam body meets the safety design standards. 4. The intelligent control and management of the tailings dam stacking process has been upgraded in this fully intelligent tailings dam stacking device. The collaborative operation of the positioning analysis and frame connection device with the AI computing power has constructed a closed-loop intelligent control system encompassing "morphological acquisition - data analysis - path planning - precise execution." The real-time fusion of 3D morphological data from the four-eye rotating instrument, position detection data from the row observation instrument, and motion feedback data from the extension and rotation recorder allows the device to dynamically adjust the gripping force and placement angle according to different rock shapes, achieving scientific stacking with a "one-stone-one-policy" approach. This level of intelligence not only reduces reliance on manual experience but also provides complete data support for subsequent dam quality traceability. 5. The wide adaptability of this fully automated tailings dam system to complex operating conditions. The walking and climbing device, through the 360° rotation of the semi-circular rotating component and the ±60° angle adjustment of the vertical rotating component, combined with the anti-slip toothed design of the triangular holding component, can stably walk on complex dam surfaces such as muddy and rocky terrain. The claw-arc stretching component of the extension-rotation grabbing and releasing device, in conjunction with the plate extension control component, can adapt to different specifications of boulders with diameters ranging from 0.5 to 2 meters, meeting diverse dam construction needs. The modular frame design of the device (front main frame, middle main frame, rear main frame) also facilitates flexible expansion according to the scale of construction, further broadening its application scenarios.

[0051] In use, the fully intelligent tailings dam stacking device of the present invention is rigidly connected by components such as the front main frame, middle main frame, and rear main frame through components such as the front and middle main fasteners 46 and the middle and rear connecting circles 52, forming a stable overall structure. The AI computing power unit 28 serves as the control core, receiving sensor data from the positioning analysis device, such as the rock shape data from the four-eye rotator 43 and the position data from the row observation device 50. It generates control commands through algorithms to drive the motors of the climbing device, such as the front internal rotation motor 30, and the telescopic rods of the extension and rotation grabbing device, such as the front extension claw telescopic rod 27, to work together. The elliptical connector 1 is connected to the main frame via the front rotating leg shaft 31, etc. The extension and retraction of the inner electric leg extension 3 can adjust the leg length. The multi-angle rotation of the semi-circular rotating part 7 and the vertical rotating part 8, with a rotation angle of 360° + ±60°, can adapt to dam slopes of 30°-60°. The anti-slip teeth of the triangular holding part 11 increase the friction to ensure that the device does not slip on muddy or rocky surfaces, achieving stable movement and climbing. The single gripper uses the arc extension and retraction of the claw extension member 15 and the length adjustment of the plate extension control member 14, combined with the multi-directional rotation of the rotating ball control 16, to achieve adaptive gripping of stones of different shapes. The extension rods of the front, middle and rear extension claws, such as the extension rod 20 of the rear extension claw, and the rotating ball, such as the rotating ball 24 of the middle extension claw, work together to transfer the stones to any designated position, completing the continuous action of "grabbing-transferring-stacking". The four-eye rotating instrument 43 uses multiple cameras to collect 360° three-dimensional data of the stones. The AI computing power machine 28 analyzes the features of the stones, such as the largest and smallest faces, through image recognition algorithms to generate the optimal placement scheme of "large face down, small face filled". The laser positioning accuracy of the calibrating instrument 44 is ±2mm and the distance detection of the row observation instrument 50 is calibrated to ensure that the deviation of the stone stacking position is ≤5mm. The data such as the gripping force recorded by the extension and rotation recorder 49 is combined with the shape of the stones to estimate the weight, so as to realize the dynamic adjustment of the force of the gripping claw tip 13 to avoid damage or falling of the stones. Work process Step 1: Device placement and commissioning The device is moved to the dam operation area, the data motor 34 is started, the internal electric leg extension 3 of the walking and climbing device extends and retracts to adjust the leg length, the half-circle rotating part 7 rotates the vertical rotating part 8, so that the triangular holding part 11 is in close contact with the dam surface, and the contact pressure is fed back by the sensor. The front inner rotating motor 30, the middle inner rotating motor 36, and the rear inner rotating motor 41 work together to adjust the device so that it is parallel to the dam slope. The row observation instrument 50 detects the relative position of the device with the already piled dam body, and the data is fed back to the AI computing power machine 28 to confirm the initial positioning. Step 2: Information Collection and Analysis of Stone Blocks External machinery transports the stones to the stone storage platform 37. The four-eye rotating instrument 43 is activated, and four high-definition cameras take 360° pictures of the stones, collecting three-dimensional data such as size, edges and corners, and the position of the largest / smallest face, which is then transmitted to the AI computing machine 28. The AI computing power machine 28 analyzes the shape of the stones through algorithms, generates the optimal placement scheme with the large face down to increase the contact area, and fills the small face to reduce gaps, and calculates the stacking coordinates with an accuracy of ±5mm. Step 3: Grabbing the Rock The telescopic rod 22 of the middle extension claw extends and retracts, and the rotating ball 25 of the front extension claw and the rotating ball 24 of the middle extension claw rotate, causing the single claw to move to the top of the stone on the stone storage platform 37. The rotating ball control 16 adjusts the gripping angle, the claw arc stretching component 15 extends in an arc shape, and the plate extension control component 14 extends, causing the gripping control claw tip component 13 to open; then the claw arc stretching component 15 retracts, the plate extension control component 14 shortens, and the gripping control claw tip component 13 closes to grip the stone. The gripping force is adaptively adjusted according to the weight of the stone calculated based on the motor current fed back by the extension and rotation recorder 49. Step 4: Stone Transfer and Positioning The forward extension claw telescopic rod 27 and the middle extension claw telescopic rod 22 extend and retract in tandem to transfer the boulders to the stacking area in front of the boulders platform 38. The calibration counter 44 emits a laser positioning line to the preset stacking point. The AI computing power 28 compares the current position of the stone with the target position. The horizontal angle is adjusted by the forward claw rotating ball 25, etc., and the height is adjusted by the extension and extension of the four-arc telescopic component 10 to ensure that the center of the stone coincides with the laser line. Step 5: Stone stacking According to the optimal angle planned by the AI computing power machine 28, the rotating ball control 16 rotates so that the large face of the stone is facing down and aligned with the stacking point, and the claw tip 13 slowly opens to complete the stacking. The observation instrument 50 takes real-time pictures of the stacked position. If the deviation exceeds 5mm, the middle and rear extension claws will slightly extend and retract the blocks through the claw arc tensioning component 15 to make minor adjustments until the requirements are met. Step 6: Equipment movement and cyclical operation After a single stone is stacked, the front inner rotating motor 30 drives the front rotating leg shaft 31 to lift the front extension leg. The middle inner rotating motor 36 and the rear inner rotating motor 41 work together to drive the middle rotating leg shaft 35 and the rear rotating leg shaft 40, moving the device forward by 0.5-2m depending on the size of the stone. During the movement, the semi-circular rotating part 7 adjusts the angle of the vertical rotating part 8 to ensure that the triangular holding part 11 always makes stable contact with the dam body. Repeat steps two through six until the day's work is completed. Step 7: Completion of the assignment and data recording The telescopic rod of the extension and gripping device retracts, the gripper opens, the inner electric leg extension 3 retracts to its shortest state, and the device exits the work area. The extension and rotation recorder 49 generates a daily operation report, including the dam volume of 300-500 cubic meters and the average gap rate of the boulders ≤8%. The data is stored in the AI computing power machine 28 and can be remotely transmitted to the management terminal.
