Meanwhile, a process of performing an operation between the MMI and the desk 20 and the stacker / reclaimer through the wireless system 70 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2.

First, the mode and data are set on the MMI and desk 20 side, that is, yard selection, stacking rate value, stacking start position, stacker / reclaimer stacking mode selection, operating mode selection, file height selection. After setting the back light, the set mode and data are notified to the stacker / reclaimer side and the preparation instruction is transmitted to the stacker / reclaimer side.

Accordingly, the stacker / reclaimer side receives the stacking preparation instruction (step S1), turns on the main power and the container power (step S2), opens the rail clamp (step S3), and the hydraulic system. (Hydraulic System) is driven (step S4) and the weighting scale (Weighting Scale) is reset to zero (step S5), and then the stacking start position is moved to the stacking ready to the MMI and desk 20 side It is notified (step S6).

Then, when the MMI and the desk 20 send the auto start command to the stacker / reclaimer side, the stacker / reclaimer side receives the auto start command (step S6) and the boom conveyor (Boom Conveyor) is received. It activates (step S8), automatically moves and stacks by the automatic stacking file height detection (step S9), and confirms that the accumulation amount is completed (step S10).

Thus, when the stacking amount is completed, the stacker / reclaimer side stops the boom conveyor and notifies the MMI and the desk 20 side of the end of the automatic stacking operation (step S11).

And, when the mode is selected on the MMI and desk 20 side, that is, yard selection, reclaim ratio value, reclaim start closed connection position, stacker / reclaimer reclaim mode selection, operating mode selection After performing the file height selection, the reclaim pattern selection, and the like, the stacker / reclaimer is notified of the performed mode and data, and the reclaim preparation instruction is transmitted to the stacker / reclaimer side.

Accordingly, the stacker / reclaimer side receives the reclaim preparation instruction (step S12), turns on the main power and control power (step S13), opens the rail clamp (step S14), and drives the oil lubrication system. (Step S15) and reset the weighting scale to zero (step S16), then move to the Reclaim Start Close Contact Position (i.e. approximately 5 (m) from the file) to close. It is checked whether the connection position has been reached to automatically detect the reclaiming start position (step S17), that is, the initial running, turning and buoyant positions are detected.

At this time, the stacker / reclaimer side checks whether the reclaiming start position is made and notifies the MMI and the desk 20 side of the reclaim preparation completion (step S18).

Then, when the MMI and the desk 20 send the auto start command to the stacker / reclaimer side, the stacker / reclaimer side receives the auto start command (step S19) to activate the boom conveyor and the bucket wheel. It activates and tries to run at a low speed (step S20).

Accordingly, the stacker / reclaimer side performs the reclaiming operation in a fixed amount by turning (step S21), where it is checked whether the reclaim ratio is equal to the initial data (step S22).

Therefore, if the reclaim ratio is smaller than the initial data, it is checked whether the load is not loaded or the swing return position. If the reclaim ratio is not the load or the swing return position, the turning speed is increased to repeat the step 21 (S21). In the case of the no-load or the turning return position, after performing the reclaiming operation by the return turning, the twenty-first step S21 is repeatedly performed.

If the reclaim ratio is larger than the initial data, the controller determines whether the reload ratio is the no load or the swing return position. When the reclaim ratio is not the no load or the swing return position, the swing speed is decreased to repeat the step 21 (S21). In the case of the no load or the turning return position, after performing the reclaiming operation by the return turning, the twenty-first step S21 may be repeatedly performed.

If the reclaim rate is the same as the initial data, the reclaiming operation is performed by turning at a fixed speed. At this time, the final claim position of the module is checked and the total reclaim rate is checked. S23).

Therefore, if the final module cutting position has not been reached, the 20th step (S20) is repeated. If the final module cutting position is reached, it is checked whether the smallest terrace (Terrace) is reached.

Accordingly, if it is not the smallest terrace, after the terrace change operation is performed on the next one step, the step 20 is repeated. If the smallest terrace is, the terrace change operation is performed on the next one step. After performing the step 20 to repeat the step (S20), and if it is not the total reclaim ratio to repeat the step 20 (S20).

On the other hand, in the case of the total ratio of reclaims, it automatically terminates the reclaim operation, stops the bucket wheel and boom conveyor, moves to the stacker / reclaimer home position, and recalls the automatic reclaim completion. The MMI and the desk 20 are notified (step S24).

As described above, the stacker / reclaimer and the reclaimer of the raw material unloader are operated by the unmanned automation according to the present invention, thereby achieving standardization of operation and equipment operation by the introduction of automation, stabilization of equipment, and stabilization of operation. It is possible to solve the poor working conditions, eliminate excessive travel time and secure production cost competitiveness.
