Step seven, hopper and leatherWhen the tape unit is in normal operation, the M is displayed on the industrial personal computer i (t) and Q i (t) data and curves, the first hopper run for 10min is shown in FIG. 5, where after the 110s charge it was found that the material exceeded 60t indicating "the first hopper is full, does not charge" until the 150s material is less than 60 t. At time 490s, M is found i (t) is less than the early warning value of 20t, which prompts that the first hopper is short of material storage and is charged as soon as possible until the material exceeds 20t after the 530 th charging.
