[0002] Dry-mixed mortar is a building cementitious material made by pre-mixing cement, sand, mineral admixtures and additives in a dry state. It can be used after adding water and stirring on the construction site. In actual construction, when there are site restrictions, large-scale projects and scattered construction points, strict environmental protection requirements, or the need to ensure the continuity of mortar supply, it is necessary to achieve remote transportation and pouring through special conveying equipment. The efficiency, material uniformity, operational stability and environmental compliance of long-distance transportation of dry-mixed mortar depend on the supporting long-distance transportation control system.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, the supporting long-distance conveying control system is not fully adapted to the multi-component material characteristics of dry-mixed mortar, the dynamic fluctuation of rheological parameters during the conveying process, and the interference of environmental temperature and humidity. It adopts rigid fixed parameter control logic and lacks full-link automated perception and closed-loop control capabilities, which leads to parameter coordination imbalance during long-distance conveying. This results in multiple performance shortcomings in conveying efficiency, material uniformity, and equipment stability. It is difficult to meet the requirements of engineering quality control and environmental compliance, and it cannot meet the core requirements of long-distance conveying for large-scale projects.

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] Reference Figures 1-2As shown: A long-distance conveying control system for dry-mixed mortar includes a monitoring layer, a control layer, a sensing layer, an execution layer, and a controlled object 100. Each layer communicates through signal lines to form a closed loop of data acquisition, decision-making, execution, and feedback. The monitoring layer includes a local monitoring terminal 500 and a remote monitoring platform 510; The control layer includes a core control unit 300, an initialization automation acquisition submodule 310, and a discharge port linkage control logic module 320. The core control unit 300 has built-in adaptive multi-level pressurization algorithm, variable pitch frequency modulation coupling anti-segregation algorithm, predictive grading anti-blocking algorithm, and inert gas closed-loop moisture-proof and anti-segregation algorithm. The sensing layer includes a basic sensor cluster 200, an initialization automated data acquisition hardware 210, and a discharge port monitoring sensor cluster 220. The execution layer includes a conventional actuator 400 and a special component for the discharge port 410; The controlled object 100 is a dry-mixed mortar conveying device, which is linked with the execution layer to realize long-distance material conveying; Communication between different levels is achieved through signal lines, forming a closed loop of data collection, decision-making, execution, and feedback. This includes the following steps: Step 1: Initialize automated data acquisition. The sensing layer automatically acquires and verifies the material characteristics, engineering layout, and environmental parameters of dry-mixed mortar, generating initial control parameters. Step 2: Real-time acquisition of parameters across the entire supply chain. The basic sensor cluster 200 and the discharge port monitoring sensor cluster 220 continuously acquire material rheological parameters, pipeline operating status, environmental conditions, and multi-dimensional parameters at the discharge end during the conveying process. Step 3: Core algorithm collaborative control. Based on the collected parameters, dynamic calculations are performed using four algorithms: multi-stage pressurization, anti-segregation, anti-blocking, and anti-moisture, to generate adaptive control commands. The adaptive multi-stage boosting algorithm is applied to the core control unit 300 of the dry-mixed mortar long-distance conveying control system. It is used to dynamically adjust the output pressure of the stepping booster pump group. The algorithm input parameters include the real-time viscosity of the material, real-time yield stress, real-time flow rate of the material, cumulative conveying distance and environmental temperature and humidity parameters collected by the sensing layer. The environmental temperature and humidity parameters include the ambient temperature and the ambient relative humidity. The algorithm calculates the pressure compensation amount based on a preset multi-parameter coupling model, adapts the pressure loss of different conveying distances through the distance correction coefficient, dynamically offsets the influence of ambient temperature and humidity on material flowability through the environmental correction function, and ensures the stability of pressure regulation through the yield stress weighting coefficient and the basic compensation amount. The control commands output by the algorithm target the stepper booster pump group configured in segments according to the conveying distance, realize the coordinated pressure regulation of each stage of booster pump, form a dynamic pressure gradient along the conveying pipeline, ensure stable material flow rate and compensate for pressure loss as needed. It has a pressure feedback closed-loop regulation function, which receives monitoring data from pipeline pressure sensors in real time and dynamically corrects the pressure compensation amount to avoid material flow imbalance caused by sudden pressure changes.
[0018] The variable pitch frequency modulation coupling anti-segregation algorithm is applied to the core control unit 300 of the dry-mixed mortar long-distance conveying control system. It is used to coordinate the control of the variable pitch agitator and the electromagnetic frequency modulation vibrator. The algorithm input parameters include the real-time flow rate of the material and the proportion of coarse aggregate in the material collected by the sensing layer. The proportion of coarse aggregate in the material is obtained by collecting the data through an online particle size analyzer and after data verification. The algorithm dynamically calculates the target rotation speed of the variable pitch agitator based on the material flow characteristics and particle size distribution. At the same time, it matches the vibration frequency and phase of the electromagnetic frequency-modulated vibrator according to the correlation model between the agitator rotation speed and the risk of material segregation. The speed regulation of the variable pitch agitator and the frequency regulation of the electromagnetic frequency-modulated vibrator are coupled to form a control. Through the synergistic effect of the axial thrust of the variable pitch structure and the radial vibration of the vibrator, the gravitational stratification tendency of the material particles is destroyed, and the segregation of aggregate and cementitious materials is inhibited. It has a real-time feedback adjustment function. By collecting the coarse aggregate ratio data at the discharge end through the online particle size analyzer at the discharge port, it reversely optimizes the stirring speed and vibration frequency parameters to ensure the material uniformity throughout the entire conveying chain.
[0019] The predictive hierarchical anti-blockage algorithm is applied to the core control unit 300 of the dry-mixed mortar long-distance conveying control system to identify and handle pipeline blockage risks. The algorithm input parameters include material accumulation thickness data in the pipeline collected by the ultrasonic accumulation thickness detector of the sensing layer and pipe wall stress data collected by the pipe wall stress sensor. The blockage status is determined by the fusion of the two parameters. The algorithm has three preset levels of blockage judgment criteria, corresponding to mild blockage, moderate blockage and severe blockage respectively. Each level of judgment criteria is set by a combination of the accumulation thickness threshold and the pipe wall stress threshold to achieve accurate classification of blockage risk. Differentiated handling instructions are output for different levels of blockage: for mild blockage, the variable pitch agitator is controlled to rotate in reverse and the pressure difference between the front and rear booster pumps is adjusted; for moderate blockage, the low-pressure pulse backflushing action of the high-pressure backflushing system is superimposed; for severe blockage, the high-pressure backflushing system is switched to high-pressure directional backflushing mode, in conjunction with the agitator's high-speed reverse rotation and the front booster pump's shutdown and pressure maintenance strategy. It has a function to verify the effect of blockage treatment, monitors the accumulation thickness and pipe wall stress data in real time, and automatically switches to normal conveying mode when the parameters recover to the safe threshold, forming a closed-loop anti-blockage logic of "prediction-graded treatment-effect verification".
[0020] The inert gas closed-loop moisture-proof and segregation-proof algorithm is applied to the core control unit 300 of the dry-mixed mortar long-distance conveying control system to achieve material moisture-proof and segregation-proof. The algorithm input parameters include the material moisture content, inert gas dew point in the pipeline and pressure data in the pipeline collected by the sensing layer. The material moisture content is collected collaboratively by the material humidity sensors in the feed hopper and the discharge hopper. The algorithm takes the material moisture content ≤ preset humidity threshold, inert gas dew point ≤ preset dew point threshold, and maintaining a slight positive pressure in the pipeline as control objectives, and dynamically adjusts the opening of the nitrogen flow regulating valve and the working parameters of the dehumidification device. By precisely controlling the flow rate of inert gas, a stable micro-positive pressure environment is formed in the pipeline, which isolates the intrusion of external humid air. At the same time, the airflow disturbance is used to help destroy the stratification tendency of material particles, so as to achieve the synergy of moisture-proof function and anti-segregation function. It has a multi-parameter closed-loop adjustment function, which compares the collected parameters with the preset target values in real time, and optimizes the inert gas flow and dehumidification intensity through proportional adjustment logic to ensure that the material is in a dry and uniform state throughout the entire conveying process.

[0022] Identifying and handling pipeline blockage risks specifically includes: Real-time monitoring of the material accumulation thickness (h) and the pipe wall stress (σ) through an ultrasonic accumulation thickness detector and a pipe wall stress sensor, and determining the blockage level and implementing corresponding measures according to the following conditions Minor blockage (h ≤ 5mm and σ < 1MPa): The variable pitch agitator rotates in the reverse direction, the pipeline speed increases, and the pressure of the pre-stage step-type booster pump decreases; Moderate blockage (5mm < h ≤ 10mm and 1MPa ≤ σ < 2MPa): Superimposed high-pressure reverse blowing system with low-pressure pulse reverse blowing, coordinated adjustment of the pressures of the front and rear stages; Severe blockage (h > 10mm and σ ≥ 2MPa): Superimposed high-pressure reverse blowing system with high-pressure directional reverse blowing, the variable pitch agitator rotates in the reverse direction at high speed, and the pre-stage step-type booster pump stops to maintain pressure; h is the material accumulation thickness in the pipeline (unit: mm), and σ is the pipe wall stress (unit: MPa).
[0023] Optimizing parameters based on the feedback of the proportion of coarse aggregate at the discharge end specifically includes: Collecting four-dimensional parameters through an on-line particle size analyzer at the discharge port, a discharge flow rate sensor, a material humidity sensor at the discharge port, and a dust concentration sensor, and implementing after comparing with the preset target values: When the deviation between the proportion of coarse aggregate at the discharge end and that at the feed end is greater than 0.5%, start the micro agitator in the discharge bin to adjust the uniforming speed; When the material humidity at the discharge end is greater than 0.6%, increase the flow rate of the inert gas through the nitrogen flow regulating valve and reduce the feeding speed of the double-shaft spiral disperser; When the dust concentration at the discharge port is greater than 10mg / m³, increase the dust removal power in stages or deploy a pneumatic windshield; When the level sensor in the discharge bin detects an abnormal level in the discharge bin, adjust the feeding speed accordingly or stop the machine emergently.
[0024] Coordinating to achieve moisture-proof and segregation-proof specifically includes: Real-time adjusting the opening of the nitrogen flow regulating valve and the parameters of the dehumidifying device through the core control unit 300, and integrating the moisture-proof and segregation-proof functions through the micro air flow cushion on the pipe wall.
[0025] Step Four, the actuator makes a linkage response, and executes the control instructions through the conventional actuator 400 and the special component 410 at the discharge port to perform feed pretreatment, pressure boosting and conveying, segregation-proof and blockage-proof, and discharge regulation; Step 5: Optimize the closed-loop monitoring feedback. Parameter display, anomaly alarms, and remote operation and maintenance are achieved through the local monitoring terminal 500 and the remote monitoring platform 510. Control strategies are dynamically adjusted based on feedback data.
[0026] The material coarse aggregate ratio, initial viscosity, and yield stress are collected by an online particle size analyzer and an initial rheology analyzer; engineering parameters such as conveying distance and pipeline layout are obtained by a QR code scanner and a parameter storage module; basic environmental parameters are collected by an environmental temperature and humidity sensor; and after the data range and consistency are verified by the FPGA data verification processor, the data is automatically entered into the core control unit 300.
[0027] The detailed implementation process of this invention is described below to ensure that those skilled in the art can reproduce this method based on this embodiment: The controlled object 100, serving as the physical carrier for long-distance material transportation, mainly consists of a conveying pipeline, a feed hopper, a discharge hopper, and a discharge valve. The conveying pipeline is lined with wear-resistant ceramic material, possessing high hardness and wear resistance. A reasonable slope is controlled during pipeline laying along the construction path, and elbows are designed with large curvature radii to reduce the risk of material accumulation. The feed hopper and discharge hopper are made of carbon steel and treated with anti-corrosion measures to ensure long-term stability. The feed hopper is located close to the raw material storage area, and the discharge hopper is adjacent to the work point, shortening the material transfer path. All pipeline connection flanges employ a high-level sealing design to prevent material leakage and external moisture intrusion.
[0028] The monitoring layer comprises a local monitoring terminal 500 and a remote monitoring platform 510, forming a dual local and remote control system. The local monitoring terminal 500 uses an industrial-grade touchscreen, is dustproof and waterproof, and is equipped with an emergency stop button and a working mode switch. It is embedded in the equipment room control cabinet or wall-mounted in a convenient operating area on the construction site. It establishes communication with the core control unit 300 via a shielded Ethernet cable to ensure real-time parameter transmission and command issuance. The remote monitoring platform 510 is deployed on a public cloud server, supports web and mobile app access, and interacts bidirectionally with the core control unit 300 via a wireless communication module to achieve parameter traceability, anomaly warning, and remote operation and maintenance functions. The control layer is the core decision-making unit of the system, including the core control unit 300, the initialization automation acquisition submodule 310, and the discharge port linkage control logic module 320. The core control unit 300 uses an industrial-grade PLC, equipped with a dedicated acquisition module and drive module, and is installed in the control cabinet of the equipment room with sufficient heat dissipation space. It is responsible for algorithm calculation, data processing, and control command generation. The initialization automation acquisition submodule 310 integrates a data acquisition interface board, an engineering parameter database, and an FPGA data verification processor. It communicates with the core control unit 300 at high speed through the backplane bus to complete the transfer, verification, and input of initialization parameters. The discharge port linkage control logic module 320 is deployed close to the discharge hopper to shorten the communication distance with the discharge end sensors, quickly process the discharge end parameters, and generate linkage control commands to ensure real-time control. The sensing layer consists of a basic sensor cluster 200, an initialization automated acquisition hardware 210, and a discharge port monitoring sensor cluster 220, achieving accurate acquisition of parameters across the entire process. The basic sensor cluster 200 includes various functional sensors, all powered by 24VDC and connected to the core control unit 300 via shielded analog cables. The wiring is routed away from power cables to avoid interference. Material humidity sensors are installed at the discharge port of the feed hopper and on the top of the discharge hopper, with probes penetrating deep into the material to collect moisture content. Rheological characteristic sensors are arranged in sections along the conveying pipeline to monitor material viscosity and yield stress in real time. Material flow rate sensors are installed in a one-to-one correspondence with the rheological characteristic sensors to ensure spatiotemporal consistency of parameter acquisition. Environmental temperature and humidity sensors are deployed in the equipment room and construction site to collect environmental climate parameters. Ultrasonic buildup thickness detectors and pipe wall stress sensors are installed at easily clogged sections of the pipeline to collaboratively monitor blockage risks. The initialization automated acquisition hardware 210 includes an online particle size analyzer, an initial rheological detector, a QR code scanner, and a parameter storage module. After obtaining the project ID, the QR code scanner triggers other devices to collect initial material characteristic parameters and preset project parameters, which are then verified and stored accordingly. The discharge port monitoring sensor cluster 220 is deployed at the bottom of the discharge hopper and around the discharge port. It communicates with the discharge port linkage control logic module 320 via industrial Ethernet to accurately collect parameters such as the proportion of coarse aggregate at the discharge end, discharge flow rate, material moisture, dust concentration and material level. The execution layer is responsible for responding to control commands and realizing various functions of material conveying, including the conventional actuator 400 and the special component 410 for the discharge port. In the conventional actuator 400, a dual-shaft spiral disperser is installed at the bottom of the feed hopper, and its horizontal arrangement ensures uniform material dispersion; a stepping booster pump is connected in series in sections along the conveying pipeline, equipped with a shock-absorbing base to reduce operating vibration and achieve graded pressurization as needed; a variable pitch agitator and an electromagnetic frequency-modulated vibrator work together, with the variable pitch agitator installed coaxially with the pipeline and the electromagnetic frequency-modulated vibrator fixed to the agitator housing, suppressing material segregation through the synergistic effect of agitation and vibration; a high-pressure backflushing system is deployed at easily clogged parts of the pipeline, clearing blockages by spraying airflow through nozzles; and a nitrogen flow regulating valve is installed between the nitrogen tank and the main pipeline to precisely control the inert gas flow rate. In the discharge port special component 410, a micro agitator is installed inside the discharge hopper to correct the uniformity of the material through agitation; a pneumatic windshield is deployed above the discharge port to quickly deploy and suppress dust diffusion; and a conical buffer plate tilt adjuster is installed above the discharge port to stabilize the discharge flow rate by adjusting the tilt angle. After the system is powered on, the operator switches to initialization mode via the local monitoring terminal 500, scans the project-specific QR code using a QR code scanner to obtain the project ID, and transmits it to the data acquisition interface board. The data acquisition interface board triggers the project parameter database to retrieve the preset parameters for that project, and simultaneously instructs the online particle size analyzer and initial rheology analyzer to collect the initial material characteristic parameters, while the environmental temperature and humidity sensor synchronously collects environmental parameters. All collected data is transmitted via the data acquisition interface board to the FPGA data verification processor for range and consistency checks. After removing abnormal data, the effective average value is taken, stored in the project parameter database, and automatically entered into the core control unit 300 to generate initial control parameters. After initialization, the system switches to operating mode. After the system enters the operating mode, each sensor in the sensing layer continuously collects parameters at a preset frequency. The basic sensor cluster 200 collects rheological characteristics, flow velocity, humidity, pipe buildup thickness, pipe wall stress, and environmental parameters in real time during the material conveying process. The data is transmitted via analog cable to the acquisition module of the core control unit 300, and after filtering, it is used for algorithm calculation. The discharge port monitoring sensor cluster 220 synchronously collects various parameters at the discharge end and transmits them to the discharge port linkage control logic module 320 via industrial Ethernet, providing data support for discharge end regulation. All collected parameters are synchronously uploaded to the local monitoring terminal 500 and the remote monitoring platform 510, realizing full-link status visualization. The core control unit 300 invokes built-in adaptive multi-stage pressurization algorithm, variable pitch frequency-coupled anti-segregation algorithm, predictive grading anti-blocking algorithm, and inert gas closed-loop moisture-proof and anti-segregation algorithm to generate control commands based on collected parameters. The multi-stage pressurization and anti-segregation collaborative algorithm calculates pressurization compensation based on real-time material rheological characteristics, flow rate, conveying distance, and environmental parameters, controlling the stepper pressurization pump to achieve grading pressurization.
