Solution Overview

Problem

During milling operations, waste generated by the milling drum is scattered on the unmilled road surface, hindering the material receiver and altering the milling volume, which increases the burden on the conveying components and affects their service life.

Innovation Solution

A material conveying control method that involves acquiring the height adjustment displacement of the material receiver in a floating state and controlling its lifting height and traveling speed to manage the material conveying amount, thereby stabilizing the milling volume and reducing the load on conveying components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the material receiver operates in a fixed position during milling, then the milling volume increases, but the conveying components become overloaded and their service life decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemilling volumeVSAvoidservice life of conveying components
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The material receiver is designed with a height adjustment mechanism that allows it to dynamically change its position during milling operations. When obstacles are detected on the road surface, the material receiver automatically adjusts its height to maintain optimal milling volume while preventing waste from scattering and blocking the conveying components, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining high productivity and protecting component reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If the material receiver encounters scattered waste on the road surface, then the milling volume changes, but the conveying components become hindered and their service life is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemilling volumeVSAvoidhindrance to material receiver
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates a detection device that continuously monitors the road surface for obstacles and provides feedback to the control device. When scattered waste is detected, the control device automatically adjusts the height of the material receiver to avoid the obstacles, preventing hindrance to the conveying components while maintaining optimal milling volume. This closed-loop feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction between productivity and harmful external factors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If the milling planer travels at high speed, then the productivity increases, but the material conveying amount varies and conveying components are overloaded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetravelling speedVSAvoidmaterial conveying amount
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The control device dynamically adjusts the height parameter of the material receiver based on real-time detection of road conditions and milling parameters. By changing the height parameter, the system optimizes the milling volume to match the conveying capacity, ensuring that even at high travelling speeds, the material conveying amount remains within safe limits for the conveying components, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and material quantity control.

AI summary

Disclosed are a material conveying control method, a system and an apparatus for a milling planer, and a milling planer. The material conveying control method for the milling planer includes: acquiring a height adjustment displacement of a material receiver of the milling planer in a floating state; and controlling, according to the height adjustment displacement, a lifting height of the material receiver and a travelling speed of the milling planer, so as to control a material conveying amount of the milling planer. By controlling the lifting height of the material receiver and the travelling speed of the milling planer at the same time, a variation of a milling volume is reduced, thereby reducing an influence of spilled waste on the material conveying amount of the milling planer.
