AI Technical Summary
The existing bucket wheel excavator tail car discharge end is prone to improper docking with the conveyor belt, resulting in material leakage. This requires on-site operation by staff, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and poses safety hazards.
Using infrared sensors and infrared transmitters in conjunction with a PLC controller, and connected to remote control equipment via a network communication module, the automatic docking of the bucket wheel excavator's tail car discharge pipe with the conveyor belt is achieved. The infrared sensors detect signals and the PLC controller adjusts the position, while the hydraulic cylinder drives the telescopic sleeve and the camera observes to ensure accurate docking.
It enables remote connection between the tail car discharge pipe of the bucket wheel excavator and the conveyor belt, saving manpower, reducing safety hazards, improving operation efficiency and connection accuracy, and preventing material leakage.
