Description
Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to a device for the computer-assisted supply of silo and / or tank systems according to the preamble of claims 1 and 3 and to a method for the computer-assisted delivery of silo and / or tank plants according to the preamble of the patent claim 6th
[0002] Devices for detecting and transmitting data relating to the individual consumption and the total consumption of products are known. These known devices generally comprise one or more containers containing a product, which are often provided with a sensor for detecting the quantity of the dispensed product. The data recorded by the sensor is transmitted to a local data transmission unit which generates a data signal with a predetermined format from the data received from the sensor and transmits this data signal to a remote central data acquisition unit, the data signal generated by the local data transmission unit being at least the same as the data transmission unit Product consumption. The data signal transmitted from the local data transmission unit to the central data acquisition unit is stored by the central data acquisition unit for a later analysis. In this case, the use of several containers can be monitored by means of a single central data acquisition unit. A disadvantage of these known devices is that the inventories of such devices are usually detected only in local operating units, and therefore the data acquisition and processing takes place only within a closed network. A decentralized monitoring of customer containers is less applied because of too high investment costs and running costs. A further link with a subsequent data evaluation, in particular the fill level with geodetics, has not been pursued so far. Thus, it can often occur, That trucks with a residual load of up to several tonnes of walking. This has, inter alia, a negative impact on the environment. Emergency calls, for example, if containers are not monitored and are therefore surprisingly empty, are often used.
[0003] The invention is intended to provide a remedy here. The invention is based on the object of making filling levels of containers globally transparent and deriving optimized filling routes, in particular for trucks, from the data of such filling level monitoring.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention solves the set object with a device which has the features of claim 1 and of claim 3, as well as with a method which has the features of claim 6.
The advantages achieved by means of the invention are essentially the fact that thanks to the device according to the invention: a considerable saving potential can be achieved, for example, for wage and fuel costs per truck; - an emptying of containers can be avoided; - the filling levels of containers can be interrogated cyclically (eg once a day). The containers are not tied to a specific place. Communication between the central data processing system (server) and the measuring devices can be carried out wirelessly. The data is stored in the server. The data is processed and geodesics are added. Thus, a geographic map can be mapped. From this, optimized routes and routes for trucks can be generated; And - as further eg Temperature data can also be transmitted so as to also monitor sensitive goods such as cereal-related parasite infestation or fermentation processes, so that appropriate measures can be taken in time. There no longer need to be an operator to monitor on-site. When the alarm thresholds are individually selected, the devices automatically switch to different personal messages stored in the data memory of the device (eg in the measuring system) (SMS, email).
[0007] In a special embodiment of the device, the central data processing system is suitably programmed to interrogate and store the measurement data from a measuring cycle in a scanning cycle and to store the central data processing system Is suitably programmed to shorten or lengthen the query clock on the basis of a previously stored measurement data by means of a crawler.
[0008] In another embodiment of the device, the central data processing system is adapted to program a first external data processing system of a customer to access and to use a first online portal installed on the central data processing system of the device and also on the central portal Wherein the first online portal provides access to the measurement data recorded by the measuring device and stored in the central data processing system, and wherein the second online portal provides an electronic connection of the central data processing system to the second online portal A second external data processing system,So that access to the second external data processing system for an organization for supplying the desired silo and / or tank installation can be established via the second online portal.
In a specific embodiment of the device, the second online portal comprises a map-like representation, which can be depicted on a screen of the first external data processing system, for the positions of the silos or tanks, and preferably one activatable (clickable) symbol for each of the different silos or tanks.
[0010] In a special embodiment of the method, the organization of the transport comprises an optimal routing for one or more transport means, in particular trucks.
[0011] In another embodiment, the central data processing system is suitably programmed to detect and store the consumption-filling profile of each of the silos or tanks.
In a further embodiment, the central data processing system is suitably programmed to individually adapt the interrogation cycle for the acquisition of the measured data from the measuring device of each silo or tank to the filling level profile. In this way, the polling cycle can be adapted individually, for example, to a varying customer requirement due to seasons for the fuel requirement and / or transport paths or duration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1-3 comprises a plurality of containers 1 which can be designed as silos 201 (FIG. 3) for dry bulk goods, a measuring device 3 arranged on the container 1 with a sensor electronics 210 2) and a control unit 250, where measurement data are transmitted by the sensor electronics unit 210 to the control unit 250, and the measurement data are transmitted by the control unit together with other characteristic values of the container 1 to an external communication network 15. The external communication network 15 can be a mobile telephone network, eg a standard network such as the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) or also a cable network, eg the Internet, UMTS, LTE, etc.
The measurement data can be transmitted periodically, for example daily, from the control unit 250 to the central data processing system 20. In particular, the filling level, preferably in percent (%), is transmitted as a measured value by the control unit 250.
From the measured data for the filling level, the quantity of the container present in the container, for example, can be determined by the control unit 250 or by the central data processing system 20 on the basis of the characteristic values of the container 1 stored in the control unit 250 or in the central data processing system 20 The mass in tonnes of bulk material still present in the container 1 and the quantity of bulk material to be replenished, for example as mass in tonnes.
Furthermore, the geographic position of the container 1, the address of the location, the silo capacity, a lower level for a "empty state" (eg a fill level of 30%), an upper level threshold for a filled area can be recorded in the data memory of the central data processing system 20 State and the polling cycle.
Together with the transmitted measuring data, a message can also be transmitted as to whether the measuring device 3 is in operation or is defective. Furthermore, the measuring device can comprise a battery whose charge state is detected by the control unit 250 and transmitted as a further data signal.
1 to 3 essentially comprises one or more containers 1, in particular silos 201 or tanks, each of which is equipped with a measuring device 3 for detecting the pressure in the tank And a central data processing system 20 which is connected to each of the measuring devices 3 via an external wire-bound communication network 15 or directly in a wire-free manner and stores measurement data acquired by the measuring device 3. The central data processing system 20 comprises a computer, which is suitably programmed for this purpose, A first external data processing system 23 of a customer to enable access and application of a first online portal 6 installed on the central data processing system 20 and a second online portal 7 also installed on the central data processing system 20. The first online portal 6 provides access to the measurement data recorded by the measuring devices 3 and stored in the central data processing system 20. The second online portal 7 comprises an electronic connection of the central data processing system 20 with a second external data processing system 27, eg transport management TomTom, So that access to the second external data processing system 27 for an organization of the supply of the desired silo and / or tank installation can be produced via the second online portal 7. The computer of the central data processing system 20 is also suitably programmed to interrogate and store the measurement data from the measuring devices 3 in a scanning clock, the computer of the central data processing system 20 being suitably programmed to determine the scanning clock on the basis of previously stored measurement data by means of the crawler To shorten or extend.
The second online portal 7 comprises a card-like representation for the positions of the silos 201 or tanks, which can be displayed on a screen 10 of the first external data processing system 23, and preferably one activatable (clickable) symbol 12 for each of the different silos 201 Or tanks. The computer of the central data processing system 20 is suitably programmed to detect and store the consumption / filling process of each of the silos 201 or tanks. In addition, the computer of the central data processing system 20 is suitably programmed to individually adapt the interrogation cycle for the acquisition of the measurement data from the measuring device 3 of each silo 201 or tank to the filling level profile. This "intelligent" interrogation cycle (not constant daily) of the fill level can take account of customer requirements depending on seasons, eg for fuel requirements, transport distances and / or duration, etc. Furthermore, the device makes possible optimum route guidance in the delivery of each silo 201 or tank.
[0023] The crawler is a program running on the central data processing system 20. In a database, the customer data, the data of the silo 201 (silostandort and silo information such as port number, etc.) and logindata are stored. The crawler program is used to enter the customer data and silo data once. The crawler then automatically monitors the silos 201. A query of the data is then started at the specified time as follows: a) The crawler calls at the silo 201 as in the case of an acoustic call. The measuring device 3 recognizes at the call number that this is the crawler. B) After the identification, the measuring device responds, for example, with an SMS whose data is compressed and thus simultaneously encrypted, the crawler. C) After receiving the data, the data are decrypted and further processed and subsequently stored in the database of the central data processing system 20. D) The data can be retrieved via the first online portal 6 and are also displayed graphically there. A corresponding data export is also possible in order, for example, to further process or document consumption for a certain period of time.
[0024] Consumption, eg seasonal consumption, can also be derived with the data obtained, since the filling levels are regularly interrogated. This can be an important aid for disposition / purchasing. Another issue is quality management, which plays an important role in the temperature monitoring of cereals. Here the temperature data can be stored using the same technology. Proof of optimum grain storage is therefore possible.
The data are then assigned to the respective customer accounts and transmitted to the second external data processing system 27 (eg TomTom Server). Each customer sees only his silos 201.
The second external data processing system 37 (TomTom Server) then maps the silo 201 with the current filling levels in a map.
After displaying the current stock data (silo), either by means of an automatic tool or manually optimized route plans for the delivery of the silos 201 by trucks can be created.
In FIG. 2, a container 1, which has been dried for bulk material, is shown as an example. Bulk products, such as wood pellets or other dry solids, can be stored as bulk goods in the silo 201. Instead of a silo 201, the tank can also be designed as a tank or any other reservoir or reservoir. The measuring device 3 is essentially designed as a capacitive level sensor for determining the filling level of dry bulk materials, for example of fuels, in the silo 201 and comprises a first rod which forms a first condensor electrode 103 and is fixedly mounted in the silo 201, Which forms a second resonator electrode 103 and is fixed at a predetermined distance from the first rod and outside the first rod substantially parallel to the first rod, a sensor electronics 210 which contains a resonant circuit and is provided within the silo 201 and is designed to be explosion- The first rod and the second rod are electrically connected to the sensor electronics 210 and electrically insulated from each other. Furthermore, the measuring device 3 comprises a control unit 250 which is provided outside the silo 201 and is adapted to convert a value provided by the sensor electronics 210 into a filling level. A sensor circuit 210 incorporating a resonant circuit which is provided within the silo 201 and is designed to be explosion-proof, the first rod and the second rod being electrically connected to the sensor electronics 210 and electrically insulated from each other. Furthermore, the measuring device 3 comprises a control unit 250 which is provided outside the silo 201 and is adapted to convert a value provided by the sensor electronics 210 into a filling level. A sensor circuit 210 incorporating a resonant circuit which is provided within the silo 201 and is designed to be explosion-proof, the first rod and the second rod being electrically connected to the sensor electronics 210 and electrically insulated from each other. Furthermore, the measuring device 3 comprises a control unit 250 which is provided outside the silo 201 and is suitable for converting a value provided by the sensor electronics 210 into a filling level.
FIG. 2 shows, by way of example, a container 1 designed as a bulk container 201 for dry bulk goods with a measuring device 3 and a control unit 250. The silo 201 consists of a wall 230 forming a circular cylinder and a wall 232 forming a truncated cone End of the truncated cone leads to a delivery opening 234. The dry bulk goods are removed from the silo 201 through the delivery opening 234 in order to be fed to their use. The silo also includes a ceiling or lid 236.
[0028] The sensor electronics 210 of the measuring device 3 is mounted below the ceiling. Since the sensor electronics 210 is provided within the silo 201, the lines 105 can be kept short. By this means, for example, a measurement of the low-capacitance electrodes 103 is improved. The electrodes 103 are held with spacers 240 at a fixed distance. The spacers 240 are designed to be insulating. The electrodes 103, ie the rods or tubes, extend from the upper edge of the silo 201 to the lower end of the tapered part of the silo. The output signal of the oscillator located in the sensor electronics 210 is amplified and converted into a microcontroller (rectangular signal, PWM signal or analog signal). The microcontroller measures the frequency and calculates therefrom an average value which it transmits via the line 252 the control unit 250 outside the silo 201. According to other embodiments, which may be combined with the embodiments described herein, a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or the like may be used instead of a microcontroller.
The value determined by the sensor electronics 210 is converted into the control unit 250 in order to be brought into a ratio to the silo size and / or to the silo form. The control unit 250 contains a CPU and control devices, which make it possible, for example, to visualize or process the filling level. Typically, an alarm can be issued when a predetermined fill level is detected. Line 252 typically provides power to the sensor electronics 210 and monitors any malfunctions to prevent damage or fire by disabling the sensor electronics in the event of an emergency. In this case, the control unit switches the sensor electronics 210 free of voltage. The control unit 250 may further include a memory for storing the values. According to a further embodiment, The control unit 250 can also contain further display elements such as a screen, as well as control elements such as a keyboard or a mouse, in order to allow a more extensive evaluation of the filling level. For example, an average consumption of the dry bulk material or other statistics can be selected, calculated and displayed.
[0030] According to a further embodiment, the control unit 250 can also essentially be replaced by a display unit. In this case, the sensor electronics directly output, for example, a pulse-width-modulated signal which is converted by a display unit into the corresponding display. The sensor electronics 210 thus assumes additional functions so that the control unit described in FIG. 2 can be reduced to a display unit.
[0031] During initial commissioning, the silo 201 is empty and the control unit 250 stores the signal of the sensor electronics 210 in the empty state. Via an input device, for example through the central data processing system 20, the control unit 250 receives the form of the silo 201 as well as its mass in a memory. A menu «Silo balance in empty state» can be selected via a switch. This allows a fill level of 0% to be defined. When the silo 201 is fully occupied, a "silo balance in the full state" is selected by a switch or by means of an input element. This value corresponds to the fill level of 100%. As a result, the control unit 250 can be adjusted to the silo 201 including its dimensions and the maximum filling height.
The devices according to the invention have the advantage that a capacitive level measurement can also be carried out in a simple and cost-effective manner for dry bulk materials such as fuels. The problems occurring with dry bulk materials are solved by rod-shaped or tubular electrodes 103. The sensor electronics 210 is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the electrodes 103 and is designed to be explosion-protected within the silo 201. A measurement of the small capacitances provided by the rod-shaped or tubular electrodes 103 is enhanced, among other things, by an additional capacitor or additional capacitors arranged between the resonant circuit and the electrodes.
