Transporter Vehicle Management System for Mine Damage Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The operating environment of transporter vehicles in mines varies, leading to suboptimal productivity and potential damage when uniformly set recommended use conditions are applied, as these conditions do not account for varying road surface conditions and actual operating conditions.
Innovation Solution
A transporter vehicle management system that acquires loading weight, vehicle speed, and road surface data to calculate a current damage amount and sets target loading weights or speeds to minimize damage while optimizing productivity, using sensors and a computer system to adjust operations based on real-time data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If uniformly set recommended use conditions are applied to transporter vehicles, then vehicle damage is reduced to an allowable level, but productivity improvement is obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of loading weight and traveling speed based on real-time road surface conditions. The management system continuously monitors road surface data and automatically modifies operational parameters, transforming static uniform recommendations into dynamic adaptive control that optimizes both vehicle protection and productivity for each specific operating condition
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters (loading weight and traveling speed) based on varying road surface conditions. By calculating damage amounts according to actual conditions and adjusting parameters dynamically, the system allows higher loading weights and speeds on good road surfaces while maintaining protective limits on poor surfaces, resolving the contradiction between uniform protection and optimized productivity
2Productivity
If higher loading weight or traveling speed is used to improve productivity, then mine productivity improves, but vehicle damage exceeds allowable levels
Solution Approach 1:
The management system establishes a feedback loop that continuously monitors road surface conditions, calculates the resulting damage amount, and adjusts loading weight and traveling speed accordingly. This closed-loop control ensures productivity optimization while maintaining vehicle damage within allowable levels through real-time parameter adjustment based on actual operating conditions
3Reliability
If lower loading weight or traveling speed is used to reduce vehicle damage, then vehicle damage is reduced to allowable levels, but productivity improvement is obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts operational parameters based on real-time road surface conditions rather than applying static conservative limits. On good road surfaces, the system allows higher loading weights and speeds to maximize productivity, while automatically reducing parameters only when road conditions deteriorate, thus eliminating unnecessary productivity restrictions
