Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining and stripping quantity measurement technology, specifically to a mining and stripping quantity measurement device for open-pit copper mines. Background Technology
[0002] Stripping volume refers to the total amount of overburden and ore removed from an open-pit mine within a certain period. It is a key indicator for measuring mine production efficiency, usually measured in cubic meters or tons, and includes both stripping and ore extraction. Stripping volume directly affects a mine's production capacity, cost control, and resource utilization. Achieving a balance between stripping and extraction requires scientific ore blending. Currently, the theodolite stadia measurement method is commonly used, employing a theodolite with stadia lines to measure distances and elevation differences. Traditional measurement methods involve numerous manual operations, inevitably leading to measurement errors. Furthermore, the increased manual operation increases the workload for workers and affects the efficiency of stripping volume measurement. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the fixing seat has a limiting groove in the front-to-back direction at the inner middle position, and the limiting groove is disposed between the two fixing edges.
[0009] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it replaces the traditional measurement method of using a theodolite in conjunction with a stadia wire to measure distance and elevation difference, reduces the operation process that requires manual operation, avoids measurement errors caused by manual operation, reduces the difficulty of operation for workers, and improves the efficiency of mining and stripping measurement while ensuring the accuracy of mining and stripping measurement.
