Therefore, the accurate acquisition of coal quality parameters plays a very important role in coal yard management.

[0003] However, existing coal shed management systems typically only allow for overall average calculations based on batches of coal entering the shed, making it impossible to obtain actual coal quality parameters at specific spatial locations. In most cases, it requires a high degree of reliance on manual experience or sampling inspections to meet the needs of refined coal shed management, thus significantly reducing the intelligent management of coal sheds.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0015] Example 1 Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for determining coal quality parameters according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations requiring accurate determination of coal quality parameters. The method can be executed by a coal quality parameter determination device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software, and can be integrated into an electronic device with data processing capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: S101, spatial voxel modeling of the coal shed to construct a three-dimensional mesh coordinate system.

[0016] Optionally, a three-dimensional mesh coordinate system is constructed by performing spatial voxel modeling for the coal shed, including: establishing a global rectangular coordinate system with the corner of the coal yard as the origin; uniformly dividing the global rectangular coordinate system to obtain multiple identical spatial units in three-dimensional space, and using the spatial units as voxels; and constructing a three-dimensional mesh coordinate system based on the voxels.

[0017] Specifically, in order to achieve meter-level precision management, this implementation method discretizes the physical space of the coal shed and establishes a global rectangular coordinate system with the corner point of the coal shed as the origin. The global Cartesian coordinate system is uniformly divided to obtain multiple identical spatial units in three-dimensional space. ,For example Each spatial unit is treated as a voxel. This embodiment is merely illustrative and does not limit the specific spatial size of each voxel; users can configure it according to their desired management precision. By dividing the coal yard into a grid, voxels can be used as the analysis object in subsequent coal quality parameter analysis. This transforms the overall analysis of the coal yard into an analysis of individual units of space, ensuring the precision of subsequent coal quality analysis.

[0018] S102, Obtain the first association information of each voxel in the three-dimensional mesh coordinate system before performing the coal feeding operation.

[0019] Optionally, the first association information of each voxel in the three-dimensional mesh coordinate system before the coal feeding operation is performed is obtained, including: scanning the coal shed to obtain the first point cloud data of the coal pile surface before the coal feeding operation is performed, and mapping the first point cloud data to the voxel corresponding to the position using a spatial segmentation algorithm; determining the original volume of each voxel based on the mapping result of the first point cloud data; and obtaining the original coal quality parameters marked in each voxel, wherein the original coal quality parameters include coal type, calorific value and sulfur content.

[0020] Optionally, the original volume of each voxel is determined based on the mapping result of the first point cloud data, including: for voxels that are completely below the surface of the coal pile, the original volume is directly determined as the size of the space occupied by the voxel; for voxels that include the surface of the coal pile, the original volume is determined based on the fill rate of the first point cloud data within the voxel.

[0021] Specifically, this embodiment mainly targets the scenario of coal being fed into a coal shed by train. Therefore, the coal feeding operation and the coal discharging operation can be considered to be independent of each other. Before performing the coal feeding operation, a laser scanner or inspection robot installed on the top of the coal shed can be used to scan the coal pile inside the coal shed to obtain the first point cloud data of the coal pile surface. Since the coal shed has been divided into multiple voxels of the same volume located in different spatial positions, each point cloud in the first point cloud data has coordinate position attributes. Therefore, in this embodiment, a spatial segmentation algorithm can be used to map the first point cloud data to the voxel corresponding to the position. Since the point cloud data mainly targets the surface of the coal pile, for voxels completely located below the surface of the coal pile, it can be known that the coal filling ratio is 1. The original volume in this embodiment mainly refers to the coal volume in the voxel. Since the volume of the voxel itself is known, the volume of the voxel itself can be directly used as the original volume. Furthermore, for voxels containing the surface of the coal pile, the filling ratio may be less than 1, meaning the coal does not completely fill the space of the voxel itself. In this case, the filling rate of the first point cloud data mapped within the voxel can be determined. Since this embodiment pre-establishes the correspondence between the filling rate and volume of voxels, when the coal filling rate is known, the original volume corresponding to that filling rate can be determined based on the correspondence. For example, when the filling rate is 0.5, the original volume can be determined to be half of the total space volume occupied by the voxel. Of course, this embodiment is only an example and does not limit the size of the original volume of each voxel before coal feeding. Therefore, the set of voxel volumes of the coal shed before coal feeding can be obtained by scanning. Where N represents the total number of voxels contained in the three-dimensional mesh coordinate system, A label indicating a voxel.

[0022] In addition, this embodiment also obtains the original coal quality parameters labeled in each voxel. For example, the original coal quality parameters specifically include coal type. calorific value , sulfur content Of course, this embodiment only uses the first... The original coal quality parameters of individual voxels are used as an example for explanation. The methods for obtaining the original coal quality parameters of other voxels are roughly the same, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0023] S103, obtain the second correlation information of each voxel in the three-dimensional mesh coordinate system after the coal feeding operation is performed, as well as the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal.

[0024] Optionally, the second association information of each voxel in the three-dimensional mesh coordinate system after the coal feeding operation is performed, as well as the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal, are obtained, including: scanning the coal shed after the coal feeding operation to obtain the second point cloud data of the coal pile surface, and using a spatial segmentation algorithm to map the second point cloud data to the voxels corresponding to the positions; determining the current volume of each voxel based on the mapping result of the second point cloud data; and obtaining the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal input after the coal feeding operation is performed.

[0025] Specifically, this embodiment mainly addresses scenarios where no coal consumption occurs during the coal feeding process. Therefore, after the coal feeding operation, the coal shed is scanned again to obtain the second point cloud data of the coal pile surface. Since the height and shape of the coal pile change significantly after the coal feeding operation, the second point cloud data obtained at this time differs considerably from the first point cloud data before the coal feeding operation. In this embodiment, the current volume of each voxel is obtained by mapping the second point cloud data obtained from the second scan with the voxel data. Since the process of determining the current volume based on the second scan result is roughly the same as the process of determining the original volume based on the first scan result, it will not be described in detail in this embodiment. Furthermore, the set of voxel volumes of the coal shed after the coal feeding operation can be obtained from the scan. .

[0026] In addition, this embodiment will also obtain the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal. For example, for the kth batch of coal, the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal specifically include the coal type. Of course, this embodiment is only an example and does not limit the specific content of the original coal quality parameters.

[0027] S104, determine the voxel status for each voxel based on the first and second association information, and determine the current coal quality parameters of the voxel based on the voxel status and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal.

[0028] Optionally, for each voxel, the voxel state is determined based on the first and second association information, and the volume change before and after coal feeding is calculated based on the current volume and the original volume; when the volume change is zero, the voxel state is determined to be an unchanged voxel; when the volume change is greater than zero and the original volume is zero, the voxel state is determined to be a newly added coal voxel; when the volume change is greater than zero and the original volume is greater than zero, the voxel state is determined to be a mixed coal voxel.

[0029] Specifically, since this embodiment obtains the original and current volumes of each voxel by scanning the coal pile before and after coal feeding, it is possible to obtain the volume change of each voxel after performing the coal feeding operation. For example, for the first voxel... For individual elements, the specific volume change is as follows: Therefore, in this embodiment, the voxel state can be determined based on the volume change, whereby the voxel state includes unchanged voxels, newly added coal voxels, and mixed coal voxels. For example, when If this is the case, it can be determined that the voxel may have been filled before the coal was introduced, or the voxel may have been positioned too high and remained unoccupied after the coal was introduced. In this case, the voxel's state can be determined as an unchanged voxel. Additionally, when... In this case, the original volume needs to be considered, and the change in volume and the original volume should be taken into account. Two parameters are used together to determine the voxel state, for example, when If the voxel was not occupied before coal feeding, and the coal in the voxel mainly comes from the latest batch k after the coal feeding operation, then the voxel status can be determined as a newly added coal voxel; when If the condition is met, it indicates that the voxel already contained historical batches of coal before coal feeding. After the coal feeding operation is performed, the historical batches of coal and the latest batch k of coal coexist in the voxel. Therefore, the voxel state can be determined as a mixed coal voxel.

[0030] Optionally, the current coal quality parameters of the voxel are determined based on the voxel state and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal, including: for unchanged voxels, the original coal quality parameters are directly used as the current coal quality parameters; for newly added coal voxels, the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal are used as the current coal quality parameters; for mixed coal voxels, the current coal quality parameters are determined based on the first association information, the second association information and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal.

[0031] Optionally, the current coal quality parameters are determined based on the first associated information, the second associated information, and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal, including: calculating the proportion of newly added coal volume based on the current volume and the original volume, and calculating the latest calorific value and the latest sulfur content based on the proportion of newly added coal volume, the original coal quality parameters, and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal; obtaining the volume proportion threshold, and determining the latest coal type based on the latest coal volume proportion and the proportion threshold; and determining the current coal quality parameters based on the latest calorific value, the latest sulfur content, and the latest coal type.

[0032] Specifically, for unchanged voxels, the original coal quality parameters are directly used as the current coal quality parameters. For example, if the voxel is already full before coal feeding at the bottom of the coal pile, the coal quality parameters remain unchanged and are still the original parameters. If the voxel is located at a relatively high position, and after the coal feeding operation, there is still a certain distance between the top of the coal pile and the voxel, then the voxel is never occupied by coal, and therefore the current coal quality parameters are still zero. For newly added coal voxels, since the coal in the voxel mainly comes from the latest batch k, and was empty before the coal feeding operation, the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal, i.e., the kth batch, are used as the current coal quality parameters.

[0033] For mixed coal elements, determining the current coal quality parameters is more complex because these elements contain both original coal and the most recent batches. For example, regarding the first... In terms of individual elements, the original volume is The current volume is The change in volume is This allows us to determine the proportion of newly added coal volume. Therefore, the latest fuel value can be calculated using the following formula (1): in, Indicates voxel identification, Indicates the first The latest calorific value of individual factors, Indicates the percentage of newly added coal volume. Indicates the original flammability value. The calorific value of the latest batch of coal (k) is expressed by the following formula (2), which is used to calculate the latest sulfur content: in, Indicates voxel identification, Indicates the first The latest sulfur content of individual elements, Indicates the percentage of newly added coal volume. Indicates the original sulfur content. This indicates the sulfur content of the latest batch of coal, k.

[0034] In addition, regarding coal type, the calculation is mainly based on the proportion of newly added coal volume. To determine, when At that time, the latest coal type for voxels is based on new coal. If the latest coal type is based on the original coal, that is, based on volume, the one with the largest volume is used.

[0035] The technical solution of this invention divides the coal shed into unit spaces by establishing a three-dimensional grid coordinate system, determines the voxel state for each voxel based on the correlation information before and after coal entry, and determines the current coal quality parameters according to the different types of voxel states, so as to realize grid-based fine management of coal quality parameters and improve the accuracy of coal quality parameter determination.

[0036] Example 2 Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another method for determining coal quality parameters provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, after determining the current coal quality parameters of a voxel according to its state and the coal quality parameters of the current batch of coal, the method further includes detecting the current coal quality parameters. When the detection pass time is determined, the current coal quality parameters are marked on the corresponding voxel. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes: S201, spatial voxel modeling of the coal shed to construct a three-dimensional mesh coordinate system.

[0037] Optionally, a three-dimensional mesh coordinate system is constructed by performing spatial voxel modeling for the coal shed, including: establishing a global rectangular coordinate system with the corner of the coal yard as the origin; uniformly dividing the global rectangular coordinate system to obtain multiple identical spatial units in three-dimensional space, and using the spatial units as voxels; and constructing a three-dimensional mesh coordinate system based on the voxels.

[0038] S202, obtain the first association information of each voxel in the three-dimensional mesh coordinate system before performing the coal feeding operation.

[0039] Optionally, the first association information of each voxel in the three-dimensional mesh coordinate system before the coal feeding operation is performed is obtained, including: scanning the coal shed to obtain the first point cloud data of the coal pile surface before the coal feeding operation is performed, and mapping the first point cloud data to the voxel corresponding to the position using a spatial segmentation algorithm; determining the original volume of each voxel based on the mapping result of the first point cloud data; and obtaining the original coal quality parameters marked in each voxel, wherein the original coal quality parameters include coal type, calorific value and sulfur content.

[0040] Optionally, the original volume of each voxel is determined based on the mapping result of the first point cloud data, including: for voxels that are completely below the surface of the coal pile, the original volume is directly determined as the size of the space occupied by the voxel; for voxels that include the surface of the coal pile, the original volume is determined based on the fill rate of the first point cloud data within the voxel.

[0041] S203, obtain the second correlation information of each voxel in the three-dimensional mesh coordinate system after the coal feeding operation is performed, as well as the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal.

[0042] Optionally, the second association information of each voxel in the three-dimensional mesh coordinate system after the coal feeding operation is performed, as well as the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal, are obtained, including: scanning the coal shed after the coal feeding operation to obtain the second point cloud data of the coal pile surface, and using a spatial segmentation algorithm to map the second point cloud data to the voxels corresponding to the positions; determining the current volume of each voxel based on the mapping result of the second point cloud data; and obtaining the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal input after the coal feeding operation is performed.

[0043] S204, determine the voxel status for each voxel based on the first and second association information, and determine the current coal quality parameters of the voxel based on the voxel status and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal.

[0044] Optionally, for each voxel, the voxel state is determined based on the first and second association information, and the volume change before and after coal feeding is calculated based on the current volume and the original volume; when the volume change is zero, the voxel state is determined to be an unchanged voxel; when the volume change is greater than zero and the original volume is zero, the voxel state is determined to be a newly added coal voxel; when the volume change is greater than zero and the original volume is greater than zero, the voxel state is determined to be a mixed coal voxel.

[0045] Optionally, the current coal quality parameters of the voxel are determined based on the voxel state and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal, including: for unchanged voxels, the original coal quality parameters are directly used as the current coal quality parameters; for newly added coal voxels, the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal are used as the current coal quality parameters; for mixed coal voxels, the current coal quality parameters are determined based on the first association information, the second association information and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal.

[0046] Optionally, the current coal quality parameters are determined based on the first associated information, the second associated information, and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal, including: calculating the proportion of newly added coal volume based on the current volume and the original volume, and calculating the latest calorific value and the latest sulfur content based on the proportion of newly added coal volume, the original coal quality parameters, and the coal quality parameters of this batch of coal; obtaining the volume proportion threshold, and determining the latest coal type based on the latest coal volume proportion and the proportion threshold; and determining the current coal quality parameters based on the latest calorific value, the latest sulfur content, and the latest coal type.

[0047] S205, the current coal quality parameters are detected, and when the detection pass time is determined, the current coal quality parameters are marked on the corresponding voxels.

[0048] Specifically, after determining the current coal quality parameters for each voxel, the parameters are checked to ensure they are correct and reasonable. For example, if garbled characters are found in the parameters, they are considered incorrect. If the format is correct but the parameters clearly exceed the normal range, they are deemed unreasonable. Only when the parameters are determined to be correct and reasonable will the latest determined parameters be annotated on the corresponding voxel. Furthermore, the annotated information can be rendered for visualization, enabling systematic management of the coal yard. During visualization, a digital coal yard model can be generated to visually display the spatial distribution gradient of calorific value and sulfur content, providing navigation support for subsequent bucket wheel excavator coal extraction.

[0049] In addition, if the coal quality parameter test fails, this embodiment will generate an alarm message and play the alarm message in a specified manner, such as in the form of an image or voice, so that the user can obtain it in time and perform timely maintenance on the hardware or software, thereby ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of coal quality parameter determination.

[0050] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the proportion of new coal is calculated by comparing the volume increment of voxels between two scans, and the calorific value, sulfur content and other parameters are weighted accordingly, thereby ensuring the rationality and accuracy of the coal quality parameters. By segmenting the voxels with a precision of 1 meter, the original coal pile management is refined to every cubic meter, and precise positioning in three-dimensional space is achieved. By using the volume difference before and after coal entry as the calculation weight, the theoretical coal quality parameters of the mixing area can be calculated without complex physical sampling. Combined with the batch characteristics of coal entry by train, the data is automatically updated by laser scanning, reducing the error of manually entering location information.

[0051] The technical solution of this invention divides the coal shed into unit spaces by establishing a three-dimensional grid coordinate system, determines the voxel state for each voxel based on the correlation information before and after coal entry, and determines the current coal quality parameters according to the different types of voxel states, so as to realize grid-based fine management of coal quality parameters and improve the accuracy of coal quality parameter determination.
