Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cemented gravel preparation technology, and more specifically, relates to a ground mixing preparation system and method for cemented gravel. Background Technology
[0002] Cemented sand and gravel, as an important material for water conservancy projects and infrastructure construction, is widely used in dams, embankments, road base courses, and other projects due to its advantages of convenient sourcing, low cost, and stable mechanical properties. Its preparation typically relies on stationary mixing plant systems, where aggregates (such as sand and gravel) are mixed with binders (such as cement and fly ash) in a specific ratio, and water is added to form a composite material with certain strength and stability. However, traditional methods of preparing cemented sand and gravel have significant limitations: on the one hand, stationary mixing plants require substantial investment in equipment purchase and infrastructure construction, and have high requirements for the flatness, bearing capacity, and spatial layout of the construction site; on the other hand, at construction sites far from the mixing plant, aggregates often need to undergo multiple transfers, which not only increases transportation costs but also easily causes aggregate segregation or fluctuations in moisture content, affecting the final mixing quality. These problems are particularly prominent in remote mountainous areas or emergency rescue projects.
[0003] To address these challenges, existing technologies primarily employ two improvement approaches. First, they develop upgrade solutions for stationary large-scale mixing plants. This involves optimizing the cavity structure and blade arrangement of the mixing host to improve the equipment's mixing efficiency for medium-sized aggregates, while simultaneously implementing an automated batching system to reduce manual intervention. Second, they promote the application of mobile mixing plants. Leveraging the flexible relocation capabilities of vehicle-mounted mixing equipment, they enable on-site mixing of cemented sand and gravel, thereby avoiding the cost losses associated with long-distance secondary transportation of aggregates.
[0004] Although existing technologies have made some progress in improving the mobility of cemented gravel preparation, they have not yet effectively resolved the contradiction between efficient mixing of oversized aggregates and large-scale continuous production. For example, while the flexibility of mobile mixing plants is evident, their mixing host power and chamber volume are limited, resulting in a production capacity far lower than that of stationary mixing plants, making it difficult to match the continuous construction rhythm of large-scale projects. Secondly, both existing stationary and mobile mixing systems suffer from poor aggregate size adaptability. Limited by the size of the feed inlet, the strength of the mixing blades, and the design of the discharge chute, they cannot achieve stable mixing of oversized gravel (over 200mm). Oversized aggregates are prone to clogging during feeding and discharging, which not only increases the frequency of mixing system shutdowns and significantly reduces production efficiency but also disrupts the uniformity of aggregate and binder mixing, affecting the final mechanical properties of cemented gravel. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies or improvement needs of existing technologies, this invention provides a system and method for preparing cemented sand and gravel through on-site mixing. Through modular, standardized, and intelligent collaborative design, it achieves efficient linkage between various subsystems, effectively overcoming technical bottlenecks such as high investment in traditional fixed mixing plants, low capacity of mobile equipment, and difficulties in mixing oversized aggregates. Simultaneously, the entire process is uniformly scheduled by an intelligent control subsystem, which monitors the operating status in real time and dynamically optimizes instructions, enabling on-site, continuous, and high-quality production of cemented sand and gravel, significantly improving the system's automation level and construction adaptability.

[0014] A second aspect of the present invention provides a ground mixing preparation method for cemented gravel, implemented using the ground mixing preparation system described above, comprising the following steps: S1: After weighing, the dump truck unloads the aggregate into the corresponding mixing tank. At the same time, according to the preset cemented gravel design density, the slurry preparation station prepares the cementing slurry, which is transported to the mixing tank through the high-pressure slurry conveying pipeline and injected into the tank through the annular spray pipe set on the top of the tank. S2: The material in the mixing tank within the range is turned over and mixed according to the preset path by the backhoe excavator until the material is evenly mixed; S3: After mixing, load the prepared cemented gravel onto trucks and transport it to the construction site.

[0022] In all the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same technical features, specifically: 1-processor, 2-communication bus, 3-user interface, 4-network interface, 5-memory. Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0024] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a ground mixing preparation system for cemented gravel, comprising: The gravel weighing and transport subsystem is used to deliver precisely measured gravel aggregates to the ground mixing subsystem. A centralized slurry preparation subsystem is used to prepare binder slurry and transport it to the ground mixing subsystem; The ground mixing subsystem is used to complete the mixing of aggregates and binder slurry, and includes: a mixing tank and a backhoe excavator; The multiple mixing tanks are arranged in two rows side by side, and their geometric dimensions are standardized according to the production supply volume, specifically: ; In the formula: The effective volume of the mixing tank; The volume factor; This is the weight of the binder; For aggregate quality; Design density for cemented gravel; Multiple backhoe excavators are positioned between two rows of mixing tanks, and the working face of each backhoe excavator covers two adjacent mixing tanks; The backhoe excavator is equipped with a multi-tooth ripper at its end of execution, and the tooth spacing of the ripper is 1.3-1.6 times the maximum particle size of the aggregate. The intelligent control subsystem is used to monitor the operating status of each subsystem in real time and issue execution commands.
[0025] Understandably, during operation, the ground mixing subsystem employs multiple standardized mixing tanks arranged in two parallel rows, facilitating continuous operation and efficient space utilization. Multiple backhoe excavators are positioned between the two rows of mixing tanks, with each excavator's working face covering two adjacent tanks, significantly improving equipment utilization and the continuity of mixing operations. Crucially, the backhoe excavators are equipped with multi-tooth rippers at the end effector, with tooth spacing set to 1.3 to 1.6 times the maximum aggregate diameter. This prevents aggregate breakage and blockage, ensuring uniform mixing and smooth discharge. The centralized slurry preparation subsystem ensures precise proportioning and stable delivery of the binder slurry, while the gravel weighing and transportation subsystem achieves accurate aggregate measurement and efficient supply. The entire process is uniformly scheduled by the intelligent control subsystem, which monitors the operating status in real time and dynamically optimizes commands, significantly improving the system's automation level and construction adaptability. In summary, this on-site mixing preparation system combines the advantages of flexibility, economy, and high production capacity, making it particularly suitable for cemented gravel engineering applications under large-scale, complex terrain conditions.
[0026] Furthermore, the gravel weighing and transportation subsystem includes: a transportation unit and a weighbridge device; the transportation unit includes multiple dump trucks, each equipped with a GPS weighing system and a vehicle-mounted terminal; the weighbridge device is fixedly installed at the inlet of the mixing tank and is communicatively connected to the intelligent control subsystem.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, the dump truck has a load capacity of 20t, a GPS positioning accuracy of ±5cm, a weighing system accuracy of ±1%, and its on-board terminal is connected to the intelligent control subsystem, which can upload vehicle location and load data in real time to achieve full monitoring of the transportation process.
[0028] In an optional embodiment, the weighbridge device includes two SCS-100 electronic weighbridges with a weighing range of 0-100t and an accuracy of ±0.1%. During use, the weighing data of the dump truck is automatically synchronized to the intelligent control subsystem. When the error between the GPS weighing system data and the weighing data exceeds ±2%, an audible and visual alarm is automatically triggered, and the vehicle is prohibited from unloading.
[0029] It is understandable that the gravel weighing and transportation subsystem can realize closed-loop monitoring and dynamic management of the entire process from loading, transportation to unloading, effectively avoid overloading, underloading or mix proportion deviation, ensure that the aggregate quality entering the mixing tank is stable and controllable, and provide reliable data support for the continuous and efficient operation of the system.
[0030] Furthermore, the centralized slurry preparation subsystem includes: a slurry mixing station, a constant-temperature slurry storage tank connected to the slurry mixing station, and a high-pressure slurry conveying pipeline connected to the constant-temperature slurry storage tank, thereby realizing the standardized production and long-distance transportation of high-quality binder slurry and ensuring the quality stability of the gel material.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, the slurry mixing plant is an HZS120 type concrete mixing plant, which integrates a precise automatic metering system for cement, fly ash, water-reducing agent, and water. Cement is metered using a screw conveyor in conjunction with a weighing sensor; fly ash is metered through a closed silo linked with a loss-in-weight weighing scale; water-reducing agent is metered using an electromagnetic flow meter; and water is metered using a high-precision water meter, thereby ensuring that the dosage of each component is accurate and controllable.
[0032] In an optional embodiment, the inner wall of the constant temperature slurry storage tank is provided with a polyurethane insulation layer, and the tank is also provided with a bidirectional spiral anti-sedimentation agitator.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, the polyurethane insulation layer inside the constant temperature slurry storage tank is 45-60mm thick, thereby ensuring that the slurry temperature is maintained within the range of 15-25°C and avoiding temperature fluctuations from affecting the slurry performance.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, the stirring speed of the bidirectional spiral anti-sedimentation stirrer is 25-30 r / min, which is used for continuous low-speed stirring to prevent slurry stratification and sedimentation.
[0035] In an optional embodiment, the high-pressure slurry conveying pipeline is a DN100 corrosion-resistant stainless steel pipeline, with a rock wool insulation layer wrapped around the outer wall and an outer iron sheet for protection. The high-pressure slurry conveying pipeline is equipped with a pressure sensor and a flow sensor, and is also equipped with a variable frequency high-pressure pump to ensure that the slurry pressure in the pipeline is stable at 0.5-0.8MPa, thereby avoiding slurry segregation.
[0036] It is understood that the centralized slurry preparation subsystem, by integrating a slurry mixing station, a constant-temperature slurry storage tank, and a high-pressure slurry delivery pipeline, achieves standardized, high-quality, continuous preparation and stable delivery of binder slurry. Furthermore, this structure not only improves the consistency and controllability of slurry quality but also provides a stable and reliable supply of binder to the ground mixing subsystem, thereby ensuring the overall mechanical properties and construction quality of the cemented gravel.
[0037] Furthermore, it should be noted that the backhoe excavator includes GNSS to acquire its precise three-dimensional position and attitude information within the work area in real time, and transmits the data to the onboard computing unit and the intelligent control subsystem. Understandably, through the above design, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) supports the coordinated scheduling of multiple backhoe excavators between two mixing tanks, optimizing work paths, reducing empty runs and waiting time, and improving overall construction efficiency; simultaneously, it enhances the intelligence, standardization, and traceability of the ground mixing operation subsystem, providing reliable equipment support for large-scale continuous cemented gravel production.
[0038] The on-site mixing subsystem also includes: an annular spraying pipe; each annular spraying pipe corresponds one-to-one with the mixing tank and is located at the top of the mixing tank; the annular spraying pipe is connected to the high-pressure slurry conveying pipeline; multiple 360° rotating nozzles are evenly arranged along the length of one side of the annular spraying pipe. It can be understood that through the above design, full-section, multi-angle, and dead-angle-free slurry coverage can be achieved during the mixing process, significantly improving the uniformity of contact between the slurry and oversized aggregates, effectively avoiding localized dry material or slurry accumulation, and significantly improving the efficiency and automation level of the on-site mixing operation.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, the flow rate of the rotating nozzle is 27-30 L / s, and its spray angle is adjustable from 30° to 60°, thereby significantly optimizing the uniformity of distribution and penetration efficiency of the binder slurry in the mixing tank. At the same time, combined with its 360° rotation characteristic, the rotating nozzle can form a three-dimensional, multi-directional cross-spraying network in a limited space, greatly improving the coating rate and mixing uniformity of the slurry and aggregate, thereby ensuring the overall strength and construction quality stability of the cemented gravel.
[0040] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the mixing tank is provided with a bidirectional drainage slope with a slope of ≥3%; the end of the drainage slope is connected to a drainage pipe, and the outlet of the pipe is equipped with a filter screen and a valve. It is understood that through the above design, rainwater or washing wastewater can be effectively guided to quickly converge on both sides and discharged in a timely manner, avoiding affecting the proportioning accuracy and mixing quality of the cemented gravel; furthermore, the filter screen is used to intercept fine aggregate particles or slurry residue discharged with the water flow, preventing blockage of downstream pipes and enabling material recovery; the valve facilitates flexible control of drainage opening and closing according to construction needs, taking into account both dry and wet management during operation and emergency drainage during the rainy season.
[0041] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the mixing tank is made of C30 fine aggregate concrete and the surface is coated with an epoxy resin wear-resistant coating with a thickness of 2-3mm, thereby effectively extending the service life of the tank.
[0042] In an optional embodiment, the mixing tank wall is coated with a polyurethane elastic layer with a thickness of 2-3 mm and a Shore hardness of A85, which has good wear resistance and anti-adhesion properties to reduce the adhesion of sand and gravel to the tank wall.
[0043] In an optional embodiment, the volumetric coefficient is set to 1.2-1.3, optimized based on a comprehensive consideration of aggregate porosity, the space required for material movement during mixing, and operational margins. It is understood that this range ensures the actual volume of the mixing tank is slightly larger than the theoretical volume of cemented gravel, avoiding both overflow or insufficient mixing due to insufficient capacity, and preventing excessive tank size from causing material dispersion, increased energy consumption, and wasted space.
[0044] In an optional embodiment, each mixing tank is equipped with at least one microwave moisture meter to measure the initial moisture content of the aggregate in real time and non-contactly, and to feed the data back to the intelligent control subsystem. It is understood that, based on this moisture content information, the system can dynamically adjust the water-cement ratio of the binder slurry delivered by the centralized slurry preparation subsystem, ensuring that the total water consumption of the final cemented gravel mixture meets design requirements. This effectively overcomes the problem of inaccurate proportioning caused by fluctuations in the moisture content of natural aggregates, and avoids strength reduction due to excessive moisture or uneven mixing due to insufficient moisture.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, the back of the ripper tooth seat of the backhoe excavator is equipped with a high-frequency piezoelectric accelerometer sensor to collect vibration acceleration signals when the ripper comes into contact with the material in real time. The onboard computing unit performs time-frequency domain analysis on the signal to identify the degree of slurry coating on the aggregate. Specifically, a short-time Fourier transform is performed on the collected accelerometer signal to obtain the time spectrum, and the instantaneous slurry coating damping characteristic index is obtained based on this time spectrum data. ; In the formula, for Instantaneous slurry damping characteristic index; This refers to the rigid impact frequency band of aggregates. , These are the lower and upper limits of the integral for the rigid collision frequency band of aggregates, respectively; For mechanical baseband; , These are the lower and upper limits of integration for the mechanical baseband, respectively. This is the time-frequency distribution function.
[0046] In an optional embodiment, the rigid impact frequency band of the aggregate is in the range of 1500Hz-4000Hz, corresponding to the frequency range of elastic waves generated by the direct impact of the metal ripper with hard rock.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, the mechanical baseband ranges from 10Hz to 200Hz, to include excavator hydraulic pump pulsation, engine vibration, and structural low-frequency modes.
[0048] Furthermore, to avoid the local optimum trap of stopping the machine immediately after mixing at a single point, the mixing tank is discretized into a grid on the horizontal plane. Combining the GNSS coordinate information of the backhoe excavator and the instantaneous slurry damping characteristic index, the average damping state within each grid cell is calculated. The uniformity of mixing is determined by real-time calculation of the overall mixing uniformity loss function, the formula of which is: ; ; In the formula, Spatial grid coordinates The average damping state value within; To ensure that the trajectory of the backhoe ripper falls within this grid during the statistical period. The total number of valid sampling points within the area; For the first The timestamp corresponding to each sampling point; This represents the loss due to mixing inhomogeneity. This is the overall compliance weighting coefficient; The target damping state threshold; This represents the average damping state of all grid cells in the entire pool; The local uniformity weighting coefficient; This represents the average damping value of the entire pool at the current moment. This represents the total number of effective grids within the mixing tank.
[0049] In an optional embodiment, the target damping state threshold is 0.8; the overall compliance weighting coefficient is 0.6; and the local uniformity weighting coefficient is 0.4.
[0050] It should be noted that the high-frequency piezoelectric accelerometer in this embodiment is of the IEPE type. In other embodiments, other types of high-frequency piezoelectric accelerometers may be used, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0051] Furthermore, the intelligent control subsystem includes: a processor 1, at least one communication bus 2, a user interface 3, a network interface 4, and a memory 5; wherein: the communication bus 2 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components; the user interface 3 includes a display screen and a keyboard, and optionally, the user interface 3 also includes a standard wired interface and a wireless interface. The network interface 4 includes a standard wired interface and a wireless interface (such as a Wi-Fi interface). The memory 5 includes high-speed RAM or non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device. Optionally, the memory 5 can also be at least one storage device located remotely from the aforementioned processor 1. The memory 5, as a computer-readable storage medium, may include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a device control application program. The network interface 4 provides network communication functions; the user interface 3 is mainly used to provide an input interface for the user; and the processor 1 can be used to call the device control application program stored in the memory 5.
[0052] It should be understood that in some feasible implementations, the processor 1 described above can be a central processing unit (CPU), or it can be other general-purpose processors, DSPs, ASICs, FPGAs, or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor. The memory 5 can include read-only memory and random access memory, and provides instructions and data to the processor 1. For example, the memory can also store device type information.
[0053] Example 2, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing cemented gravel by ground mixing, comprising the following steps: S1: After weighing, the dump truck unloads the aggregate into the corresponding mixing tank. At the same time, according to the preset cemented gravel design density, the slurry preparation station prepares the cementing slurry, which is transported to the mixing tank through the high-pressure slurry conveying pipeline and injected into the tank through the annular spray pipe set on the top of the tank. S2: The material in the mixing tank within the range is turned over and mixed according to the preset path by the backhoe excavator until the material is evenly mixed; S3: After mixing, load the prepared cemented gravel onto trucks and transport it to the construction site.
[0054] In an optional embodiment, in step S2, the planning method of the preset path is as follows: first, mixing is carried out along the path around the working area, and then mixing is carried out along the path inside the working area, and the mixing path includes at least two intersecting directions. It can be understood that by prioritizing the treatment of the boundary area of the mixing tank, insufficient slurry distribution or aggregate accumulation caused by edge effects can be effectively eliminated; subsequently, the intersecting mixing paths are used to fully disturb, disperse and coat oversized aggregates (>200mm) and binder slurry in three-dimensional space, avoiding local agglomeration or dry material interlayering.
[0055] In an optional embodiment, the total number of mixing passes is not less than five, thereby meeting the minimum requirements for mixing uniformity in the specifications while also taking into account work efficiency.
[0056] In an optional embodiment, in step S2, the soil ripper's tooth entry angle is maintained at 35°, and the moving speed is controlled at 0.8 m / s. It is understood that through the above design, the set entry angle balances cutting resistance and disturbance depth, effectively embedding into the dense aggregate layer while avoiding excessive equipment load or accelerated tooth wear due to an excessively steep angle. Simultaneously, the set moving speed ensures that the soil ripper applies sufficient force per unit length, fully disintegrating the agglomerated aggregate and creating favorable conditions for subsequent slurry penetration and mixing.
[0057] In an optional embodiment, in order to achieve a unified balance between the number of mixing passes and energy consumption, eliminate ineffective work, and avoid excessive mechanical disturbance to the already mixed material, step S2 includes the following steps: S21: Perform a short-time Fourier transform on the acceleration signal collected in real time by the high-frequency piezoelectric accelerometer sensor located on the back of the ripper tooth seat of the backhoe excavator to obtain the time spectrum, and obtain the instantaneous slurry damping characteristic index based on the time spectrum data; wherein: ; In the formula, for Instantaneous slurry damping characteristic index; This refers to the rigid impact frequency band of aggregates. , These are the lower and upper limits of the integral for the rigid collision frequency band of aggregates, respectively; For mechanical baseband; , These are the lower and upper limits of integration for the mechanical baseband, respectively. It is the time-frequency distribution function; S22: Discretize the mixing tank into a grid on a horizontal plane. Combine the GNSS coordinate information of the backhoe excavator and the instantaneous slurry damping characteristic index to calculate the average damping state within each grid cell. Determine whether the mixing is uniform by calculating the overall mixing uniformity loss function in real time. Wherein: ; ; In the formula, Spatial grid coordinates The average damping state value within; To ensure that the trajectory of the backhoe ripper falls within this grid during the statistical period. The total number of valid sampling points within the area; For the first The timestamp corresponding to each sampling point; This represents the loss due to mixing inhomogeneity. This is the overall compliance weighting coefficient; The target damping state threshold; This represents the average damping state of all grid cells in the entire pool; The local uniformity weighting coefficient; This represents the average damping value of the entire pool at the current moment. This represents the total number of effective grids within the mixing tank.
[0058] In an optional embodiment, the target damping state threshold is 0.8; the overall compliance weighting coefficient is 0.6; and the local uniformity weighting coefficient is 0.4.
[0059] In an optional embodiment, when the mixing non-uniformity loss value is not greater than a preset threshold and the duration exceeds 5 seconds, the system determines that the aggregate in the entire pool has reached the specified coating thickness and uniformity, automatically issues a mixing completion command, and ends the operation. Preferably, the preset threshold ranges from 0.05 to 0.1.
[0060] In an optional embodiment, when the mixing unevenness loss value is greater than a preset threshold or the duration does not exceed 5 seconds, the system generates a corresponding heat map and mixes the unevenly mixed area again until it is uniformly mixed.
[0061] Understandably, the vibration frequency characteristics generated when the tips of a metal ripper impact gravel aggregate are highly correlated with the surface coating of the aggregate. When the tips directly impact a dry or uncoated rock surface, a quasi-elastic collision occurs, generating a high-frequency, crisp metallic ringing sound, with energy concentrated in the high-frequency range above 1.5kHz. When the aggregate surface is fully coated with viscous slurry, the slurry layer acts as a viscous damper at the moment of impact; according to the theory of vibration wave propagation, high-frequency waves attenuate fastest when passing through a viscous fluid layer; therefore, the high-frequency components of the impact signal are significantly absorbed, resulting in a muffled vibration response and energy transfer to lower frequencies. By utilizing the viscous damping effect of slurry on high-frequency elastic waves, the microscopic slurry coating state of the aggregate surface is directly characterized by monitoring the spectral redshift when the ripper touches the aggregate, rather than the macroscopic mechanical resistance. This technical approach not only achieves complete decoupling between the detection signal and the mechanical operation (the contact characteristics remain unchanged regardless of the speed of the operation), but also cleverly transforms large-diameter aggregates from a source of hydraulic fluctuation interference in traditional calculation methods into a signal source reflecting the coating quality. This fundamentally avoids false steady-state misjudgments in rheology and ensures the absolute objectivity and accuracy of the mixing uniformity determination under complex working conditions.
