Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control method for open-cast mining conveyors, such as bucket wheel excavators, mixed bed sensors, etc., in which the previously determined morphology of a deposit or the stratification of stored material serves as a guide variable for the movements of the conveyor.
  • the bucket wheel or the container of the conveyor must be controlled according to the respective conveying task.
  • the task is to either clear the overburden or between the coal or to extract the coal that is present in seams.
  • the coal seams are generally not horizontal and do not have a straight surface. Rather, they are e.g. Sloping, curved or even folded.
  • the bucket wheel of a bucket wheel excavator must now exactly follow the course of the seam. So far, this has been attempted by operating personnel, who are guided by the visual impression of the production site and the result of drilling that has explored the course of the seam.
  • an automation of the mining process of deposits, mixed beds, etc. can be achieved.
  • the visual, subjective recording of the course of the seam should be replaced by an objective measurement.
  • the object is achieved in that the course of the material to be conveyed is continuously scanned by a light beam and that the course determined by the scanning is used as a control variable for the movements, in particular the lifting movements, of the paddle wheel.
  • Laser scanning results in an advantageous increase in scanning security, since a laser beam is only slightly influenced by air layers, dust etc. due to its high energy density, particularly in the pulsed state. Even under difficult conditions, a pulsed laser enables the conveyor location to be scanned perfectly.
  • Suitable lasers are known in principle, e.g. from the volume "Lasertechnik: e. Einf.”, Wegig Verlag, Heidelberg, 1982, pp. 368 ff. However, the use of lasers for regulating the work of paddle wheel devices has not yet been provided.
  • the scanning is carried out by scanning.
  • Scanning by scanning with laser light advantageously allows the course of the changes in the reflection properties of the scanned material to be reliably monitored and a dividing line to be drawn between the material that is worth degrading and the non-degradable material based on calibration results. This is particularly important for layers in which the reflection properties, in particular the reflection spectra of the different materials differ only slightly from one another and flow smoothly into one another.
  • the prerequisites for an optimized and automated tracking of the paddle wheel of the conveying device according to the course of the seams or other layers are created here by the invention.
  • the conveyor receiving line is first moved manually.
  • This traversing can serve as an actual value in the form of a stored learning step, which is improved with the aid of the target value determined by the scanning.
  • This enables the desired optimization and automation of the work of paddle wheel conveyors.
  • the setpoints are advantageously corrected by a vertical sensor that continuously gives the scanning device the vertical and thus also the horizontal direction.
  • an improvement in the layer recognition is possible by averaging over a larger, in particular horizontal, range. This is particularly important for deposits where there is a significant proportion of clayey constituents in the coal.
  • the differences in reflection compared to a clay top layer are only slight; by averaging the area in front of the paddle wheel, the calculated determination of the seam course can be achieved with good accuracy even in such cases.
  • the determined stratification course values are advantageously monitored by a status check of the material being conveyed. This is particularly easy if a laser device is also used for this, e.g. controls the flow of material on the belt leading away from the paddle wheel. This control is insensitive to different temperatures, to whirled up dust and the other environmental influences.
  • UV scanning light beam is particularly advantageous when there are particularly types of coal containing sulfur or with loamy outer layers.
  • the different layers can be created by different reflection recognize particularly clearly.
  • the detection can take place via intensity differences as well as via a frequency analysis of the reflected light, for which stored standard reflection spectra are advantageously used.
  • the device which emits the light beam or the laser pulses is connected to the conveyor device, i.e. the excavator is arranged.
  • a sensible structure is where a quieter, vibration-free attachment is possible compared to the bucket wheel boom, which also has the advantage of allowing scanning in a particularly wide range.
  • the device that carries out the scanning can advantageously also be mounted on a mobile, independent device carrier.
  • a storage device for the determined course of the layer on the conveying device this enables several conveying devices to be supplied with layer course data from one scanning device.
  • Such a device can also be more easily equipped with a gas laser, which places higher demands on switching off vibrations etc. than on a solid-state laser that is commonly used.
  • the schematically indicated conveying device is designated by 1, which in the exemplary embodiment is intended to represent a bucket wheel excavator.
  • the scanner 2 is arranged, which can be pivoted independently of the conveyor 1.
  • the pivoting is advantageously carried out according to a predetermined program, which is based on the intended work tasks of the conveyor.
  • the position of the scanning device 2 is advantageously chosen so that scanning of the dismantling front as undisturbed as possible by the conveyor device is possible.
  • the paddle wheel 5 works on a conveyor belt 6, which delivers the conveyed material to the further belt 8.
  • an apron 7 is arranged in the area of the excavator, which derives falling material.
  • the conveyor stands on the base 9, above which the material 10 to be removed is located.
  • the material 10 to be removed is delimited at the top by a cover layer 11.
  • Beams of light 14 emanate from the scanner 2 and are used to scan the front of the mine.
  • a scan in a given pattern can also be chosen, e.g. a zigzag pattern or a wave pattern.
  • both the cover layer designated here 19 and the layer 20 designated below the seam 22, the carbon layer 22 and also the intermediate layers 21 are often from the light beam of the scanner 2 be recorded.
  • 23 position values can be obtained from the individual layers for the individual layers via the reflection properties, the fluorescence or the general spectrum evaluation, for example by means of line filters.
  • a spread scan shown as an example, shows three scanning lines in a computer Both the position of the individual layers in the area of the scan lines and also by interpolation in the area between the scan lines 23 are calculated. By comparing the values of the individual scanning lines 23 and smoothing, there is also a possibility for correcting incorrect measurements and for switching off singularities, for example holes or embedded foreign materials.
  • the values from the scanning by the light beams 14 of the scanning device 2 are first fed to an evaluation device 15, which sends them to a computer 16 with a display device 17, which calculates the course of the deposit with the layer positions and layer courses.
  • the computer 16 preferably has a display device which displays both the layer positions and courses as well as the actual position of the boom.
  • the control signals 18 are then forwarded from the computer, which is preferably designed as a microprocessor, to the conveyor device or the excavator.
  • the method of operation of the control method according to the invention is such that the layer position and the layer course of a deposit or a mixed bed etc. are determined by scanning with a light beam, preferably a pulsed laser beam. These values are used as guide values for the movement of the conveyor, which are carried out for the first time as part of a learning step when starting work. The learning step is saved and used as a default value for the further work steps. Correction values are now determined from the position and the course of the deposit layers, with the aid of which the work of the conveyor, here the excavator, is regulated. By means of a probability calculation etc., incorrect measured values and singularities are advantageously eliminated.
  • the co-promotion of the intermediate layers between coal and overburden or a proportionate promotion of two layers in each case can be entered as a reference variable, so that an previously unattainable optimized extraction of a deposit is possible.
  • the control method according to the invention therefore not only enables the conveyor device to be guided in a controlled manner, but also leads to optimized degradation without the proportion of non-usable substances exceeding the permissible predetermined size.
  • Appropriate programming makes it possible to optimize the amount of coal being mined by only automatically admixing a small amount of low-quality materials from the intermediate layers.
