[0030] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the utility model's efficient mobile feeding system; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 Through highly integrated and automated control, efficient, flexible, and precise control is achieved throughout the entire ore process, from crushing to precise feeding and finally to the ball mill feed bin. This implementation plan will provide a detailed explanation of the structural layout, operating principles, and control systems of the main belt conveyor, branch belt conveyor, auxiliary belt conveyor, and mobile feeding platform.

[0033] System composition

[0034] The main belt conveyor, the core conveying equipment of the entire feeding system, is designed to meet the requirements of high flow rates, long distances, and stable operation. In practice, the main belt conveyor utilizes a high-strength, wear-resistant conveyor belt, with a width and speed determined by the physical properties of the ore and production requirements. The main belt conveyor's feed end is directly connected to the crusher's discharge end, ensuring seamless integration of crushed ore into the conveyor system.

[0035] A sophisticated material distributor is installed at the discharge end of the main belt conveyor. By adjusting the opening and closing angles and positions of the discharge port, this device evenly distributes the ore onto two parallel branch belt conveyors, achieving precise flow control. Sensors within the distributor monitor material flow in real time and transmit this data to the control system for dynamic adjustments.

[0036] Two branch belt conveyors are located on either side of the main belt conveyor, designed to guide and cushion the ore. The feed end of each branch belt conveyor docks with the main belt conveyor's material distributor, while the discharge end is equipped with an adjustable guide plate. These guide plates precisely guide ore falling from the branch belt conveyor onto the auxiliary belt conveyor below, while also minimizing ore spillage and impact during transfer.

[0037] The length and speed of the branch belt conveyors are determined based on site layout and production requirements, ensuring smooth and efficient transportation of ore to designated locations. Furthermore, the frame structure of the branch belt conveyors is welded from high-strength steel and treated with an anti-corrosion treatment to enhance durability and safety.

[0038] The auxiliary belt conveyor is mounted on a mobile feeding platform, designed to move freely along a pre-set track. Its primary function is to transport ore received from the branch belt conveyor to the ball mill feed hopper, ensuring precise feeding. The width and speed of the auxiliary belt conveyor are adjusted according to the ball mill's feeding requirements, ensuring that the ore falls evenly and stably into the feed hopper.

[0039] The mobile feeding platform is equipped with a track at its base, allowing it to move smoothly along a track laid on the ground. The track shape can be designed to be straight or curved to suit different production environments and spatial layouts. Safety guards and an emergency braking system are also installed on the platform to ensure rapid stopping in the event of an emergency, protecting equipment and personnel.

[0040] The secondary belt conveyor transports the ore further to the top of the ball mill feed hopper. At this point, the mobile feeding platform moves along the track to the designated position according to commands from the control system. Once at the target position, the secondary belt conveyor adjusts the conveying speed and flow rate based on the ball mill's feed requirements, ensuring precise feeding. If the feed position needs to be adjusted or production changes need to be accommodated, the mobile feeding platform can quickly respond and move along the track to the new position.

[0041] As the core component of the entire control system, the PLC controller is responsible for receiving and processing signals from various sensors and actuators. Based on pre-set programs and logic rules, the PLC controller issues control instructions to adjust the operating status and parameters of each device. Its internal high-speed processor and large-capacity memory enable it to process large amounts of data in real time and store historical records for subsequent analysis and optimization.

[0042] The touchscreen interface provides operators with an intuitive and convenient way to interact with the machine. By touching on-screen controls such as buttons, sliders, and charts, operators can easily set system parameters, monitor device status, and view real-time data and historical records. The touchscreen interface also features fault diagnosis and alarm functions, providing prompt alerts and display of relevant information when equipment malfunctions or abnormalities occur, enabling rapid resolution.

[0043] Sensors are distributed throughout key areas of the system to collect real-time data such as flow, speed, and position, and transmit it to the PLC controller for processing. Actuators, based on control commands from the PLC controller, execute corresponding actions, such as adjusting conveying speed and changing the position of the discharge port. The precise coordination of sensors and actuators ensures stable operation and precise control of the system.

[0044] To ensure safe and reliable operation, the mobile feeding system was designed with comprehensive safety precautions in mind. Guardrails and warning signs are installed along the edges of the mobile feeding platform. Each unit is equipped with an emergency stop button and overload protection to handle emergencies. The control system features fault diagnosis and alarm capabilities to promptly identify and address potential issues.

[0045] How it works

[0046] Before starting the system, perform initialization. Use the touchscreen interface to set various parameters (such as speed, flow rate, and travel distance) for the main belt conveyor, branch belt conveyor, auxiliary belt conveyor, and mobile feeding platform. Also, check the operating status and connections of each device. Once all connections are correct, start the PLC controller and begin the automated process.

[0047] After the crusher breaks down large ore into the required particle size, the crusher discharges the ore directly into the feed end of the main belt conveyor. The main belt conveyor then transports the ore at a set speed to the splitter. The splitter automatically adjusts the opening and closing angle and position of the discharge port based on preset parameters and real-time flow information fed by sensors, evenly distributing the ore onto the two branch belt conveyors.

[0048] The branch belt conveyor receives the ore from the main belt conveyor and continues to convey it forward. At the discharge end, an adjustable guide plate precisely guides the ore to the auxiliary belt conveyor below. The angle and position of the guide plate can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the ore falls smoothly into the effective conveying range of the auxiliary belt conveyor.

[0049] This mobile feeding system, through highly integrated and automated control, enables efficient, flexible, and precise control of the entire ore process, from crushing to precise feeding and finally to the ball mill feed bin. This system not only improves production efficiency and product quality, but also reduces labor costs and energy consumption.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
