Description

The present invention relates to a control method for the aggregate conveying storage system which can accommodate to determine the particle size of the plurality of aggregates in each reservoir.

Conventionally, aggregates such as gravel and sand used for concrete production are transported to a concrete production plant by a transport vehicle in a state classified into the particle size (granularity) of the aggregate. Etc., and classified into storage tanks corresponding to the particle size of the aggregate and stored. Therefore, it is necessary to switch the position of the transport conveyor to a storage tank corresponding to the particle size of the transported aggregate. In addition, if there is a human error such as a misunderstanding by the operator who switches the conveyor or an operation error, the aggregate may be stored in a mixed state in a storage tank different from the original storage tank. .
Therefore, Patent Document 1 includes a transport conveyor that transports the aggregate received by the hopper from the upstream side to the downstream side, and a storage tank that classifies and stores the aggregate transported downstream by the transport conveyor for each particle size. The CCD camera, which is arranged upstream of the transport conveyor and individually captures the transported aggregate, compares the image data captured by the CCD camera with the pre-registered image data, and determines the aggregate particle size. An aggregate transport and storage system provided with an image processing device for discrimination is disclosed. Then, the image processing apparatus images the aggregate on the transport conveyor, determines which type is based on the particle size of the aggregate, and then transports it to the storage tank corresponding to the aggregate particle size. Since the conveyor is switched, it is possible to prevent human error such as the aggregate being erroneously put into different storage tanks.
However, in the above-mentioned aggregate transport and storage system, the particle size is detected by temporarily stopping the transport conveyor and the like by the CCD camera disposed on the transport conveyor side. Start again. At the time of this restart, since a considerable amount of aggregate is mounted on the conveyor, a large tension is generated on the conveyor, or a large load is generated on the conveyor or the conveyor drive driving gear, thereby shortening the service life. In addition, there is a possibility that the power consumption increases because the motor load increases. In addition, if an aggregate with a particle size different from that expected is detected by the CCD camera, the conveyor is stopped immediately and the aggregate is removed from the conveyor, for example, but this requires a lot of manpower. In addition, there was a possibility that the storage work of the aggregate could be greatly delayed.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail through embodiments of the invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and all combinations of features described in the embodiments are included in the invention. It is not necessarily essential to the solution, but includes a configuration that is selectively adopted.

Fig.1 (a) is a schematic block diagram of the aggregate conveyance storage system 10 based on this invention, FIG.1 (b) is a figure which expands and shows a distribution means and a storage means.
The aggregate transport and storage system 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a facility that can classify aggregates loaded on a transport vehicle 21 such as a truck, a dump truck, a trailer, etc., for each particle size (grain size) and store them separately.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the types of aggregate are classified into the following four types according to the particle size of the aggregate. Aggregates are, for example, sand (or fine aggregate) S (FIG. 4 (a)), small gravel (small coarse aggregate) G3 (FIG. 4 (b)), gravel (in coarse aggregate) G2 (see FIG. 4 (c)) and large gravel (large coarse aggregate) G1 (FIG. 4 (d)). In the present embodiment, the aggregate is classified into the above four types according to the particle size, but is not limited to this and can be appropriately changed depending on the type of concrete to be manufactured, the usage environment, and the like.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the aggregate transport and storage system 10 generally includes a receiving hopper 22 that receives aggregate transported by a transport vehicle 21 or the like as transport means, and the receiving hopper 22 Provided on the upstream side and disposed on the side of the lower discharge port 23 of the receiving hopper 22 and the stereo camera 51 for determining the aggregate particle size (type) at the time of receiving and discharged from the receiving hopper 22 The transport conveyor 25 transports from the upstream side of the receiving hopper 22 toward the downstream side in a state where the aggregate is loaded, and the aggregate transported by the transport conveyor 25 is provided on the downstream side of the transport conveyor 25. Sorting conveyor 30 as sorting means that sorts by diameter, and a plurality of storages that are arranged below the sorting conveyor 30 and store aggregates from the sorting conveyor 30 in a state of being classified by grain size. hand It comprises a reservoir 37A to 37D as a function of determining based particle size on the image of the aggregate by the stereo camera 51, and a control unit 80 having a function for controlling the conveyor 25 and sorting conveyor 30.

The receiving hopper 22 is located above the upstream end of the conveyor 25 and is formed so that the diameter gradually decreases to the set outer diameter as it goes to the lower discharge port 23 side. Set to discharge aggregates. The receiving hopper 22 is given vibration by a vibration device (not shown). Accordingly, the receiving hopper 22 is discharged continuously on the transport conveyor 25 in a fixed amount when the aggregate transported by the transport vehicle 21 is input.
Further, the entire upper side of the receiving hopper 22 is covered with an outer member 24 in which a soundproof material is attached to the frame material. In addition, the front surface of the surrounding member 24 is opened for the aggregate input side by the transport vehicle 21 and serves as an aggregate input port.

The conveyance conveyor 25 as a kind of conveyance means extends along a terrain where the conveyance conveyor 25 is installed by inclining or descending by a predetermined angle. In this case, the transfer conveyor 25 is supported by a support column (not shown).
The conveyor 25 normally aligns a plurality of rollers 26 at right angles to the conveying direction, and horizontally rolls the rollers 26 between frames which are not shown in the drawing, and the rollers 26 </ b> A on the downstream side of the rollers 26. A chain 28A is hung on a gear 28 provided on one side or both sides of the rotation shaft, and the gear 28 is rotated via the chain 28A by a reduction motor 28B, whereby the aggregate loading surface above the belt material 27 is moved forward (storage tank). 37A to 37D direction). In addition, on both sides in the width direction of the transport conveyor 25, regulation plates (not shown) for regulating the spillage of aggregate are attached.
Here, the aggregate is quantitatively discharged from the receiving hopper 22 onto the belt material 27 of the transport conveyor 25 and is placed with a substantially predetermined thickness. The total weight of the aggregate affects the particle size (type) of the aggregate, but it may reach several tons as a whole.

  The storage tanks 37 </ b> A to 37 </ b> D are tanks arranged in parallel along the advancing / retreating direction of the sorting conveyor 30. The storage tanks 37 </ b> A to 37 </ b> D store the aggregates conveyed via the receiving hopper 22, the conveyance conveyor 25, and the sorting conveyor 30 separately for each particle size (type). In the present embodiment, for example, sand S having the smallest particle size is stored in the storage tank 37A. In addition, the small gravel G3, the medium gravel G2, and the large gravel G1 are individually stored in the storage tank 37B, the storage tank 37C, and the storage tank 37D, respectively.

  The sorting conveyor 30 is a short conveyor, and is capable of reciprocating and forward / reverse rotation over a range of a certain section along two rails positioned across the inlets 38A to 38D of the storage tanks 37A to 37D. Control is possible.

The sorting conveyor 30 includes a plurality (three in this example) of rollers 31 arranged in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction, a belt member 32 hung on each of the rollers 31, and the other end of the roller 31. A gear 34 attached to a roller 31A on the 30g side and driven by a chain 33, a motor 30a for applying a rotational force to the chain 33, a frame 30b for supporting the roller 31 and the like, and the frame 30b on the rail It comprises a roller 30c to be placed, a motor 30d for rotating the roller 30c, and a controller 30e for controlling the motors 30a and 30d and controlling the position of the sorting conveyor 30 and the moving direction of the belt material 32.
The control unit 30e has a wired or wireless receiver 30h, receives a command signal from the transmitter 80n of the control means 80, controls the motor 30d, and controls the stop position of the sorting conveyor 30. Then, the moving direction of the belt member 32 is controlled by controlling the motor 30a.

In this configuration, when the sand S is dropped from the conveyor 25 onto the belt material 32 of the sorting conveyor 30, the sand 30 is preliminarily placed so that one end 30f of the sorting conveyor 30 coincides with the charging port 38A of the storage tank 37A. By controlling the position of the minute conveyor 30 and driving the belt material 32 in the direction of the storage tank 37A, the sand S can be dropped and stored in the storage tank 37A.
Further, by controlling the position of the sorting conveyor 30 so that the one end 30f coincides with the charging port 38B of the storage tank 37B (position shown in the figure) and driving the belt material 32 in the direction of the storage tank 37B, the conveyor 25 The gravel small G3 falling from the bottom can be dropped and stored in the storage tank 37B.
Further, the position of the sorting conveyor 30 is controlled so that the other end 30g coincides with the charging port 38C of the storage tank 37C, and the belt material 32 is driven in the direction of the storage tank 37C, so that it falls from the transport conveyor 25. G2 in gravel can be dropped and stored in the storage tank 37C.
In addition, the position of the sorting conveyor 30 is controlled so that the other end 30g coincides with the charging port 38D of the storage tank 37D (position shown in the figure), and the belt material 32 is driven in the direction of the storage tank 37D. The gravel large G1 falling from 25 can be dropped and stored in the storage tank 37D.

  Therefore, by controlling the sorting conveyor 30 based on the instruction of the control means 80, the aggregate can be input and stored in any of the storage tanks 37A to 37D according to the classification. Note that the sorting conveyor 30 is not constituted by a conveyor, for example, an inclined hook that is positioned at the lower end of the transfer conveyor 25 and is rotatable in the left-right direction, and a controller that controls movement of the hook. The storage tank 37A thru | or 37D is arrange | positioned along the circumferential direction on the front end side of a cage | basket, the aggregate dropped from the conveyance conveyor 25 is controlled by controlling the rotation position of a cage | basket, and each storage tank 37A Thru | or 37D may be comprised.

  In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 51 includes two digital cameras 51 </ b> A and 51 </ b> B constituting a stereo camera (three-dimensional camera) 51, and includes an illuminating device 55 and a controller 50 a in the vicinity, and as a whole imaging means 50.

The stereo camera 51 is arranged in the direction of the aggregate loaded on the transport vehicle 21 with the two digital cameras 51A and 51B being separated from each other on the mounting plate 57 on the upper side of the opening of the surrounding member 24. Configured. The stereo camera 51 captures a wide range of aggregates loaded on the transport vehicle 21 at the same time by photographing the aggregates loaded on the loading platform of the transport vehicle 21 stopped in front of the receiving hopper 22 from different directions at the same time. The controller 50a detects the individual particle size of each aggregate based on the captured three-dimensional image, thereby determining the type of the particle size of the aggregate loaded on the loading platform of the transport vehicle 21. . The particle size data is output to the control means 80 described later.
In this embodiment, the stereo camera 51 is composed of the digital cameras 51A and 51B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a camera equipped with a mirror may be used. In addition, although the stereo camera 51 is configured such that two digital cameras 51A and 51B are arranged, the image may be captured using three or more cameras. Further, the lens mechanism and shutter mechanism of two or more cameras may be integrated into one camera, and aggregates may be imaged by one camera.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the illuminating device 55 as an illuminating unit is positioned near the digital cameras 51 </ b> A and 51 </ b> B that are provided apart from each other, and is attached to the front end side of the mounting plate 57 together with the stereo camera 51. The lighting device 55 is appropriately selected according to the environment and conditions to be installed. For example, a mercury lamp, a fluorescent lamp, an incandescent lamp, a halogen lamp, or a light emitting diode is used. Moreover, the illuminating device 55 illuminates the aggregate loaded on the transport vehicle 21 so that the imaging region P imaged by the stereo camera 51 has an illuminance more than necessary. For this reason, a predetermined illuminance can be ensured at the time of imaging by the stereo camera 51, and the accuracy of imaging can be improved.

  It is erected on the front side of the transport vehicle 21 via a support bar 61 and has a plurality of rotating lights 60A to 60C. The control means 80 notifies the operator and the driver of the transport vehicle 21 of the state of the aggregate transport storage system 10 by turning on or blinking the rotary lights 60A to 60C.

Specifically, among the rotating lamps 60A to 60C, the “blue” rotating lamp 60A located on the lower side is turned on and rotated, so that the aggregate loaded on the loading platform of the transport vehicle 21 is input to the receiving hopper 22. The driver can be made aware that this is possible.
On the other hand, the “yellow” rotating lamp 60B located in the center is turned on and rotated, so that it is in a so-called standby state, for example, before switching the sorting conveyor 30 or before imaging or determining the aggregate. The driver can recognize that the aggregate is in a standby state where the aggregate cannot be put into the receiving hopper 22.
Further, the “red” rotating lamp 60C positioned above is turned on and rotated, so that the particle size (type) of the aggregate inputted by the input means 81 described later and the imaging result of the stereo camera 51 are discriminated. Since the particle size (type) of the aggregate is inconsistent, the control means 80 determines that there is an abnormality, and displays the state in which the aggregate transport and storage system 10 is in an emergency stop.

  The vehicle detection sensor 65 is provided on the lower side of the rotating lamp 60A. For example, an ultrasonic sensor or the like is employed to irradiate the transport vehicle 21 with ultrasonic waves and detect the reflection of the irradiated ultrasonic waves. Thus, the position of the transport vehicle 21 is detected. When the vehicle detection sensor 65 detects that the transport vehicle 21 put in the back is stopped on the front side of the receiving hopper 22, this is notified to the control means 80.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the control means 80 is composed of a microcomputer, and includes an input means 81, a CPU as a calculation means, a ROM and RAM as storage means, an input / output interface as communication means, and the like. A transmitter 80 n is connected to the input / output interface of the control means 80 and sends a sorting signal to the sorting conveyor 30.
The input means 81 is composed of, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a barcode reader, and the like. The operator receives a slip issued when the driver loads aggregate on the loading platform of the transport vehicle 21, and the description information ( Based on the (aggregate classification data), information such as the type and amount of aggregate loaded on the transport vehicle 21 or the vehicle number is input from the input means 81 by the operator and stored in the storage means 83.

Further, the imaging unit 50 detects the irregular shape of the aggregate based on the result of the three-dimensional image captured by the stereo camera 51, and detects the particle size of the aggregate based on the result of the image processing by the controller 50a. (Granularity) is calculated, the type of aggregate is specified, and it is sent to the control means 80. The control means 80 uses the aggregate particle size (type) input by the input means 81 as described above on the driver's slip and the aggregate particle diameter calculated from the image processing result from the imaging means 50. (Type) is collated to determine whether or not the aggregate type matches.
Further, the control unit 80 outputs a display signal for displaying the particle size of the aggregate identified by the imaging unit 50, the aggregate discrimination result, and the contents of the slip to the monitor 82 for display. .

  The control means 80 outputs a sorting signal from the transmitter 80n to the wireless receiver 30h of the sorting conveyor 30 to control the sorting conveyor 30, drives the conveyor 25, and drives the vibration device of the receiving hopper 22. . The sorting conveyor 30 is set in a state of receiving the aggregate in any of the storage tanks 37A to 37D according to the particle size (type) of the aggregate.

Details of the operation will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, on the aggregate manufacturing side, aggregates classified according to the particle diameters piled up in the storage place of the aggregate manufacturing factory are loaded on the loading platform of the transport vehicle 21. When the aggregate is loaded, the driver receives a slip on which information such as the particle size (type) of the loaded aggregate, the loaded amount, or the vehicle number is printed, and transports the aggregate by transporting the aggregate with the transport vehicle 21. Deliver to 10 sites.

When the transport vehicle 21 arrives at the site, the driver gives a slip issued at the aggregate manufacturing factory on the aggregate manufacturing side to the operator, and the operator loads the aggregate loaded on the transport vehicle 21 based on the printed contents of the slip. Is input to the control means 80 via the input means 81 (step S1). In addition, the driver moves the transport vehicle 21 backward toward the opening of the receiving hopper 22 and stops it.
In this case, the vehicle detection sensor 65 detects whether the transport vehicle 21 exists on the opening side of the receiving hopper 22 that receives the aggregate (step S2). When the vehicle detection sensor 65 determines that the loading platform of the transporting vehicle 21 is in the specified position (YES), the imaging unit 50 captures the aggregate loaded on the loading platform of the transporting vehicle 21 with the stereo camera 51 (step). S3).

The controller 50a of the imaging means 50 specifies the type of aggregate particle size from the uneven shape of the three-dimensional image captured by the stereo camera 51 (step S4).
Next, the control means 80 discriminates the aggregate type of the transport vehicle 21 input in step S1 and the aggregate type calculated in step S4, and displays the discrimination result on the monitor 82 ( Step S5). In this case, the slip contents (data) may be displayed in parallel.
If YES in step S5, the control means 80 activates the sorting conveyor 30 and the transfer conveyor 25 (steps S6 and S7). The sorting conveyor 30 is positioned at a position where the aggregate is put into any of the storage tanks 37A to 37D designated by the control means 80, and then the gear 28 is driven, and the driving device of the receiving hopper 22 is driven.

  The controller 80 turns on the “blue” rotating lamp 60A after the “yellow” rotating lamp 60B is turned off and stopped (step S8). The driver visually recognizes the rotating lamp 60A and tilts the loading platform of the transporting vehicle 21 backward, whereby the aggregate loaded on the loading platform of the transporting vehicle 21 is thrown into the receiving hopper 22 (step S9). .

  Aggregate put into the receiving hopper 22 is discharged from the lower discharge port 23 onto the belt material 27 by a certain amount as the receiving hopper 22 vibrates, and the aggregate is loaded on the conveyor 25 and has a substantially constant thickness. It is carried to the sorting conveyor 30 while maintaining this state. In this case, since the sorting conveyor 30 has already been switched to put the aggregate into any of the storage tanks 37A to 37D, the aggregate is thrown into the predetermined storage tanks 37A to 37D (steps S10 and S11). ).

On the other hand, if the type of aggregate particle size described in the slip in step S5 and the type of aggregate particle size determined from the three-dimensional image do not match, the control means 80 The “red” rotating lamp 60C is turned on (step S20), and the prohibition of aggregate is notified (step S21). In such a case, in response to the prohibition of input, the type of the particle size of the aggregate described in the slip issued at the aggregate manufacturing factory and the particle size of the aggregate loaded on the transport vehicle 21 are visually checked on site. Thus, it is possible to prevent such an operation that the aggregate is not input to the receiving hopper 22 to prevent erroneous input to the conveyor 25 and to eliminate the erroneously input aggregate.
The aggregates classified and stored in the storage tanks 37A to 37D are sent to a concrete production plant from an unillustrated outlet provided on the lower side of the storage tanks 37A to 37D, and are mixed with cement, water, and the like. The Thereby, the predetermined concrete structure based on a specification is manufactured.

  Thus, according to the above-described aggregate transport and storage system 10, the particle size (type) of the aggregate is determined while being loaded on the transport vehicle 21, and the storage tanks 37A to 37D corresponding to the aggregate particle size are stored. After switching the sorting conveyor 30 to one and starting the transport conveyor 25, the aggregate is loaded into the receiving hopper 22 from the transport vehicle 21 and discharged onto the transport conveyor 25. The transport conveyor 25 loaded with the image is temporarily stopped and imaged, and then the transport conveyor 25 is restarted. The type of aggregate specified from the three-dimensional image and the type of aggregate input by the input means 81 Therefore, it is not necessary to stop the transport conveyor 25 in an emergency, and it is possible to suppress an excessive load from being generated on the transport conveyor 25 itself or the drive mechanism such as the gear 28. In addition, there is no possibility that aggregates having different classifications may be erroneously inserted into the storage tanks 37A to 37D due to erroneous printing or input on the slips, and thus mis-input aggregates are mixed with those having different classifications. Therefore, the problem that this is mistakenly used as the concrete of the structure can be solved.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated through embodiment, in the said embodiment, it was set as the form which images the aggregate loaded on the conveyance vehicle 21 in the state which the conveyance vehicle 21 stopped to the front side of the receiving hopper 22, If a gate is provided substantially ahead of the opening of the surrounding member 24 and an operator room having the control means 80 and an image pickup means 50 are installed here, the classification of the aggregate is determined when the transport vehicle 21 passes through the gate. When the transport vehicle 21 arrives at the opening of the surrounding member 24, the sorting conveyor 30 is switched, the transport conveyor 25 is started, and the receiving hopper 22 starts to vibrate, so the aggregate is immediately received from the loading platform. It can be put into the hopper 22, and a quick aggregate loading process can be performed without a time lag.
Further, in the present invention, since the stereo camera 51 is used, it is possible to classify and discriminate the particle size of the aggregate loaded on the transport vehicle 21 with relatively high accuracy by the imaging means 50, and to issue slips and slip print data. The input to the control means 80 can be omitted, and unmanned operation can be achieved.
Alternatively, on the aggregate manufacturing side, the slip print data is digitized, automatically transmitted to the control means 80 by a communication system (not shown), input, and stored, so that the slip print data and the control means 80 Since the control means 80 can automatically compare the aggregate particle size classification data obtained by being loaded on the transport vehicle 21 and picked up and processed by the image pickup means 50, highly reliable unmanned operation is achieved. I can plan.
