S104, a second control strategy (trolley direction control strategy): the sea side and the land side respectively perform stepping operation, and prevent the bucket burying;
controlling the grab bucket to move to the next operation unit step by step along the column operation combination where the current operation unit is located, and repeating the step S103 in the next operation unit; if the grab bucket reaches the sea side edge, stepping to the land side to move to the next operation unit; when all the operation units in the column operation combination where the current operation unit is located have completed the above operation, the process proceeds to step S105.
S105, a third control strategy (cart direction control strategy): furrow type stepping operation;
all column operation combinations are numbered according to the sequence, and then divided into two subgroups according to the parity of the numbers; and (3) controlling the grab bucket to move from one operation unit of the final operation of the step S104 to the corresponding operation unit in other column operation combinations in the group to which the column operation combination of the operation unit belongs in a stepping manner along the operation direction of the cart, repeating the step S103 and the step S104 until all operation units in all column operation combinations in the group are unloaded, then controlling the grab bucket to move from the operation unit of each column operation combination in the other group in the stepping manner along the operation direction of the cart, and repeating the step S103 and the step S104 until all operation units in the operation area are unloaded, thereby indicating that the ship unloading operation is completed.
The cart direction control strategy provided by the invention adopts a stepping mode by combining operation at intervals of one column, and aims to enable materials in a central operation area to form furrow type accumulation, so that a better material filling rate can be obtained in the process of grabbing a grab bucket by closing the grab bucket.
