In this process, safety is a point that cannot be ignored. At present, the automated use of stackers and reclaimers has entered the practical application stage. In order to improve the operating efficiency and the utilization rate of coal yard space, most yards install two stackers and reclaimers on the same track. Automatic operation is different from manual operation, so the precise positioning of the stackers and reclaimers and the collision avoidance between the two machines have become a very important issue.
[0003] The existing anti-collision device usually realizes accurate positioning of the large machine by installing a Gray busbar in the middle of the track and an inductive magnetic head under the stacker and reclaimer, combined with an encoder installed on the walking device of the stacker and reclaimer. However, due to the encoder's numerical deviation or drift when it runs for a long time or is subject to external interference, it affects the positioning accuracy and operation stability of the stacker and reclaimer, resulting in poor displacement accuracy of the stacker and reclaimer, and prone to collision. To this end, those skilled in the art have provided a two-machine anti-collision device for multiple stackers and reclaimers on the same track to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, a two-machine anti-collision device for multiple stackers and reclaimers on the same track includes a circuit breaker 1, a switching power supply 2, a Gray bus cable 3, a PLC power supply 4, an absolute encoder 5, a Gray bus module 6, a control system PLC module 7, and a Gray bus magnetic head 8, wherein;
[0025] Gray bus cable 3 is installed between two tracks and powered by the track origin power supply cabinet. Gray bus cable 3 adopts AFC-ECG02 model. This type of Gray bus cable 3 consists of core wire, mold core and sheath. The sheath is made of chloroprene rubber material, which has strong corrosion resistance, fire resistance, pollution resistance and interference resistance. The combination of Gray bus and correction encoder can operate stably in various complex environments, reduce the influence of external interference on positioning accuracy, and based on Gray bus positioning technology, it has the characteristics of continuous positioning, which can ensure seamless position tracking during movement. When combined with absolute encoder 5, it can make up for the positioning interruption or jump problem that may occur in the encoder in some cases, and achieve smoother and more stable positioning effect.
[0026] The Gray busbar magnetic head 8 is installed under the stacker-reclaimer and is powered by the stacker-reclaimer. It is connected to the Gray busbar cabinet PLC module on the stacker-reclaimer through a network cable, and the Gray busbar PLC module is connected to the control switch (such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the Gray busbar magnetic head 8 adopts the ZR-EMAT-B model. By installing the Gray busbar magnetic head 8 under each stacker-reclaimer, it is used to directly sense the Gray busbar cable 3 located between the two belt lines to directly obtain the position information of the stacker-reclaimer.
[0027] The absolute encoder 5 is installed at the wheel axle of the stacker-reclaimer and is connected to the control network switch through a network cable. The absolute encoder 5 adopts the Baumer-EAM580 model. By installing the absolute encoder 5 on each stacker-reclaimer, it is combined with the Gray bus bar head 8 to monitor the motion parameters of the stacker-reclaimer such as position, speed and direction in real time. The monitoring combination of the Gray bus bar head 8 and the Gray bus bar cable 3 is used to provide high-precision absolute position information.
[0028] The control system PLC module 7 adopts the Siemens-1500 model. By establishing a communication and control system, real-time data exchange between the control systems of the two stackers and reclaimers is ensured. The control system receives the position information of the two stackers and reclaimers. When the system detects that the distance between the two stackers and reclaimers is less than the preset safety threshold, the control system will immediately trigger the anti-collision mechanism, send out a system alarm signal to remind the operator to pay attention, and automatically adjust the movement speed and movement state of the stackers and reclaimers to ensure that a safe distance is maintained between them.
[0029] It also includes an external AC power supply, which is AC220V. The external AC220V power supply is connected to the upper end of the circuit breaker 1, and two groups of 220V feeders are led out from the lower end of the circuit breaker 1. One group is connected to the L and N terminals of the Gray bus cable 3 to provide working power for the Gray bus cable 3; the other group of feeders is connected to the L and N terminals of the switching power supply 2, and a DC24V working power supply is generated after conversion by the switching power supply 2. Three groups of 24V power lines are led out from the + and - terminals of the switching power supply 2, and are respectively connected to the PLC power supply 4, the absolute encoder 5 and the Gray bus head 8 to provide working power for them; because the Gray bus head 8 is connected to a network cable to connect to the Gray bus module 6, the Gray bus module 6 is then connected to the control system PLC module 7 through the network cable, and a network cable is led out from the signal output end of the absolute encoder 5 to connect to the communication module of the control system PLC module 7 (such as Figure 2 as shown).
[0030] The control system PLC module 7 includes a module base plate, a power module, a CPU module, a communication module and an IO module. The module voltage level is AC220V, and the control system PLC module 7 communicates with the control system PLC through the Siemens S7 communication protocol. The control system receives the position information of the two stackers and reclaimers, and controls the operating status and speed of the stacker and reclaimer mechanism according to the position information to ensure safe and smooth operation.
[0031] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when two stackers and reclaimers are operating at the same time on the same track, when the operating areas are too close, the traditional encoder transmitting position information may cause errors due to mechanical failure, resulting in collision risks; at this time, the Gray bus cable 3 and the absolute encoder 5 are redundantly positioned, and the absolute encoder 5 is corrected by the high precision and low fault of the Gray bus positioning system; while increasing the accuracy of the absolute encoder 5, the operating status and position information of the stacker and reclaimer are transmitted from the Gray bus module 6 to the control system PLC module 7 of the stacker and reclaimer through the communication protocol, and it is judged by calculation whether the positions of the two machines exceed the safety threshold, and the operating status and operating speed of the stacker and reclaimer are determined by the stacker and reclaimer mechanism position information received by the control system PLC module 7, so as to realize safe collision avoidance in synchronous operation.
[0032] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
