[0020] Embodiment 1
[0021] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the present invention provides an automatic spodumene feeding device, including a main frame body. The bottom end of the main frame body is divided into a spodumene stacking area 3, a siliceous slag stacking area 4, an impurity removal slag stacking area 5, a belt unloading and stacking area 7, a truck unloading passage 9, a vehicle unloading area 10, a loading passage 11 and a discharge bin 12. A plurality of unmanned overhead crane running tracks 2 are arranged at the top end of the main frame body, and unmanned overhead cranes 1 are arranged on each of the unmanned overhead crane running tracks 2. A feed inlet 8 is arranged on one side of the main frame body near the truck unloading passage 9, a discharge port is arranged on one side of the main frame body near the loading passage 11, and a belt conveyor 6 is arranged at the bottom end of the main frame body near the belt unloading and stacking area.
[0022] In this embodiment, the unmanned overhead crane 1 includes a trolley 101, a trolley running track 102, a grab 103 and a crane 106. The trolley running track 102 is fixed on the crane girder of the crane 106. The top of the trolley running track 102 is slidably provided with the trolley 101. The bottom of the trolley 101 is provided with a grab 103. The bottom of the crane 106 is slidably arranged on the top of the unmanned overhead crane running track 2. The trolley 101 and the crane 106 cooperate with each other to control the movement, lifting and material grabbing of the grab 103. The trolley 101 can control the lifting of the grab to grab materials. There are two driving motors on the crane 106. The movement of the entire unmanned overhead crane 1 on the unmanned overhead crane running track 2 can be controlled by the cooperation of the two driving motors and the crane rollers connected to the output ends of the driving motors. In addition, a trolley driving motor is arranged at the top of the trolley 101, and trolley rollers are arranged at the bottom of the trolley 101. Driven by the output end of the trolley driving motor, the trolley rollers roll on the trolley running track.
[0023] In this embodiment, an instrument 105 with a weight signal and a plurality of 3D scanning cloud platforms 104 are further arranged on the crane girder of the crane 106. The 3D scanning cloud platform 104 can scan the material contour below the crane and can feedback the material level in the stacking area in real time.
[0024] In this embodiment, the loading channel 11 is divided into a plurality of loading ports according to a plurality of unmanned overhead crane running tracks 2, and a solid-state laser scanning device 13 and red and green indicator lights 04 are arranged at each loading port. The 3D scanning cloud platform 104 and the solid-state laser scanning device 13 cooperate with each other to scan the vehicle shape and position, which is used for loading and discharging judgment and anti-collision protection of the vehicle head area.
[0025] In this embodiment, the unloading channel 9 is divided into a plurality of unloading ports according to a plurality of unmanned overhead crane running tracks 2, and a millimeter-wave radar detection sensor 05 and red and green indicator lights 04 are arranged at each unloading port. When the unmanned overhead crane 1 operates in this area, the red and green indicator lights 04 turn on the red light to remind the driver to pay attention to safety and wait for the crane to leave this area before unloading. When the red and green indicator lights 04 turn on the green light, the driver can operate normally. When the millimeter-wave radar detection sensor 05 detects that a truck is unloading, the unmanned overhead crane 1 will not grab materials in this area.
[0026] In this embodiment, a barrier gate 01 is arranged near the discharge port and the feed port 8 of the main frame body. A license plate recognition system 02 and an LED display screen 03 are arranged on the barrier gate 01. The license plate recognition system 02 and the LED display screen 03 can recognize and display vehicle information.
[0027] Working principle: For spodumene incoming materials, when the vehicle arrives at the feeding port 8, after passing through the vehicle identification system 02, the gate 01 is opened for release, and the vehicle enters the unloading channel 9 according to the unloading port prompted by the LED display screen 03, and operates according to the red and green indicator lights 04; when the unmanned crane 1 is not operating in the vehicle unloading area 10 and the material level in the spodumene stacking area 3 is low, truck unloading is allowed, and at this time the red and green indicator lights 04 show green; when the material level in the spodumene stacking area 3 is high, unloading is prohibited, and at this time the red and green indicator lights 04 show red; when the unmanned crane 1 is operating in the vehicle unloading area 10, regardless of the material level in the spodumene stacking area 3, truck unloading is prohibited, and the red and green indicator lights 04 show red; when the green light is on, normal unloading can be carried out to the vehicle unloading area 10. After unloading is completed, the unmanned overhead crane 1 will transfer the raw materials to the spodumene stacking area 3 to complete the feeding. The raw materials in the spodumene stacking area 3 are transferred by the unmanned overhead crane 1 to the discharge bin 12 to complete the feeding and production.
[0028] The impurity slag and silica slag are transported to the corresponding belt stacking areas 7 by the belt conveyor device 6 and then transferred to the corresponding impurity slag stacking area 5 and silica slag stacking area 4 by the unmanned overhead crane 1; send the tail slag order information to the spodumene automatic feeding device. When the vehicle arrives at the entrance of the loading channel 11, after passing through the vehicle identification system 02, the gate 01 is opened for release, and the vehicle enters the loading channel 11 according to the loading port prompted by the LED display screen 03. The shape and position of the truck are determined by the solid-state laser scanning device 13 and the 3D scanning cloud platform 104. When the red and green indicator lights 04 show green, the unmanned overhead crane 1 can transfer the tail slag in the stacking area to the truck for loading operation; the loading is completed by controlling the number of grabs of the grab bucket 103 through the instrument 105 with a weight signal installed on the unmanned overhead crane 1, and then the truck leaves.
