Definitions

  • the present invention relates in particular to a mobile rock processing device with a chassis which allows the rock processing device to change its installation location in a self-propelled manner and/or to move in a self-propelled manner between an installation location for a rock processing operation and a means of transport for transporting the rock processing device.
  • the undercarriage is usually a crawler undercarriage, although a wheeled undercarriage as an alternative or in addition to a crawler undercarriage should not be excluded.
  • a rock processing device of the above-mentioned type is known from US 4,281,800 known.
  • the previously known rock processing device comprises both a screening device and a crushing device and is part of a rock processing plant with a rock mill downstream of the rock processing device in the material flow.
  • the rock processing device is continuously loaded with material to be processed from a quarry by a conveyor belt.
  • the US 4,281,800 proposes to determine a work output, expressed as a quantity of material per time, of the rock processing device for a future period of time on the basis of a work output of the rock processing plant determined for a complete period of operation, such as one operating day, and a previous respective work output of the rock mill on the one hand and the rock processing device on the other hand already completed since the beginning of the operating period under consideration up to the time of determination within the operating period under consideration.
  • the conveying capacity of the conveyor belt loading the rock processing device should be set for the future period of time.
  • the US 4,909,449 Furthermore, it is disclosed to change the conveying capacity of a conveying device between the material buffer and a crushing device, depending on the filling level of material to be processed in the material buffer and/or on the motor load of a discharge conveyor device which conveys processed material out of the rock processing device.
  • the US 2021/0325899 A1 discloses the targeted control of a tipper body of conveyor trucks which load a rock processing device in order to influence the unloading of the conveyor truck over a desired unloading period.
  • a specific tipping profile of the tipper body is to be achieved in order to unload starting material transported in the tipper body to the rock processing device at a desired material discharge rate.
  • the lighting system described above indicates the current readiness of the rock processing device to be processed depending on the filling level of the material to be processed in the material buffer, which basically only helps but does not ensure that the rock processing device is not overloaded.
  • An undersupply of the rock processing device with material to be processed can still occur, as the lighting system only indicates that the device is ready to be loaded when it actually exists. If the device is ready to be loaded at short notice, the material buffer and the subsequent work unit can run dry or at least be underfilled, with the associated known disadvantages, as personnel at the loading devices may not be able to react quickly enough to the sudden display of the device's readiness to be loaded.
  • the present invention achieves the stated object of a rock processing device of the generic type in that the control device is designed to determine, in an operation with discontinuous material feed of starting material to be processed, on the basis of the at least one detection signal, time information which indicates an execution time of a future material feed into the material feeding device, wherein the output device is designed to output the determined time information.
  • the control device can determine a future requirement of the rock processing device for material to be processed on the basis of the at least one detection signal and thus predict it as time information.
  • third parties such as a machine operator of a loading device, can take note of the time information and consequently plan their material feed into the rock processing device in advance.
  • the determined and output time information can be processed automatically by a data processing device, such as a control device, of at least one loading device and its loading operation can be set up and carried out taking the time information into account, so that material can actually be fed into the material feed device at the execution time represented by the time information.
  • the at least one operating parameter can be recorded qualitatively and/or quantitatively. If more than one operating parameter is recorded, then some of the operating parameters can be recorded qualitatively and others can be recorded quantitatively. It is also conceivable that at least one operating parameter is recorded both quantitatively and qualitatively.
  • the execution time can be an execution point in time and/or an execution time range.
  • the execution time can specify the earliest possible future point in time at or from which material can or should be fed into the material feed device.
  • the execution time can additionally or alternatively specify a future period of time over which material can or should be fed into the feed device.
  • the time information can be relative time information related to a reference time, such as the current actual time.
  • the time information can be in the form of a waiting time until the next material task is issued.
  • the time information can be absolute time information, which represents an execution time or a start of an execution time period as a time in the relevant time zone. If necessary, an end of the execution time period can again be absolute time information or relative time information, preferably related to the start of the execution time period. As a rule, however, it will be sufficient to specify the point in time as the execution time from which a material task can take place in the future.
  • the execution time represented by the time information is in the future. This is not just a theoretical future due to signal transmission times in the micro- or nanosecond range, but a future that is at least in the single-digit second range away from the time the time information is output. The execution time will often be in the two-digit or even three- or four-digit second range away from the time the time information is output in the future.
  • the rock processing device is preferably designed to determine an individual execution time as time information for at least two, particularly preferably for more than two, consecutive future material tasks in operation with discontinuous material feed and to output it by means of the output device.
  • the execution times of a series of consecutive material tasks can thus be determined individually for the operating situation of the rock processing device that develops further as a result of the previous material feed, depending on the at least one operating parameter represented by the at least one detection signal, and output as time information.
  • the rock processing device can have only one or more screening devices as the at least one working unit.
  • the rock processing device is then a pure screening plant.
  • the rock processing device can have only one or more crushing devices as the at least one working unit.
  • the rock processing device is then a pure crushing plant.
  • the rock processing device comprises both at least one screening device and at least one crushing device.
  • the screening device can be a pre-screen arranged upstream of the crushing device in the material flow, optionally with several screen decks, and/or can be a post-screen arranged downstream of the crushing device in the material flow in order to sort the result provided by the crushing device according to grain size.
  • the post-screen can also comprise at least one screen deck or several screen decks.
  • the crushing device may be any known crushing device such as an impact crusher or a jaw crusher or a cone crusher or a roller crusher. Then, when the rock processing device has more than one crushing device, these crushing devices may be similar crushing devices or different crushing devices. Each individual crushing device may be one of the above-mentioned crusher types from impact crusher, jaw crusher, cone crusher and roller crusher.
  • the rock processing device comprises an input device for inputting information, wherein the input device for transmitting information is connected to the control device in terms of signal transmission.
  • the control device is preferably designed to determine the time information in operation with discontinuous material feed on the basis of the at least one detection signal and information entered into the input device.
  • the input device may be any input device, such as a keyboard, a touch screen, and the like.
  • the input device may also be a cable or a radio link can be connected to the control device for signal transmission, so that it does not necessarily have to be physically present on the rock processing device.
  • a connection with the interposition of a data storage device in which information entered into the input device and/or information output by the at least one sensor for detecting the at least one operating parameter is also considered a signal transmission connection of the input device or of the at least one sensor to the control device, in which information entered into the input device and/or information output by the at least one sensor for detecting the at least one operating parameter is stored as data and retrieved as stored data by the control device.
  • the control device therefore preferably comprises a data storage device which is connected to the control device for signal transmission.
  • the control device can store data supplied by the input device and/or by the at least one sensor and retrieve it again as stored data.
  • the input device and/or the at least one sensor can be connected directly to the data storage device for signal transmission, so that the input device can transfer information entered into it directly to the data storage device for storage, just as the at least one sensor can transfer the results of its detection operation.
  • Data that does not change over the service life of the rock processing device or can only be changed with great effort can be stored permanently in the data storage and can be stored, for example, by the manufacturer of the rock processing device during its manufacture or before its delivery. Should the machine configuration nevertheless change, for example during maintenance or repair, the company carrying out the maintenance or repair can make corresponding changes to the content of the data storage.
  • the data storage device can be physically connected to the control device by a signal line and/or non-physically connected to the control device for signal transmission, for example by a radio link or by transmitting optical signals. In principle, the data storage device can therefore be provided separately and at a distance from the rest of the rock processing device.
  • the "remaining rock processing device” is represented by its machine body. The machine body comprises the machine frame and all components of the rock processing device connected to it, even if these are arranged to be movable relative to the machine frame.
  • one sensor is sufficient to record an operating parameter.
  • one and the same operating parameter can be recorded by several sensors, for example if the aim is to determine a location-dependent local filling level of the material buffer rather than an average one.
  • the rock processing device can have more than one sensor. The same applies if more than one physical operating principle is to be used to record one or more operating parameters.
  • the filling level of the material buffer can be detected, for example, by one or more ultrasonic sensors. Additionally or alternatively, optical detection by at least one camera as a sensor and/or tactile detection by a mechanical sensor is possible.
  • the filling level of the material buffer which is usually funnel-shaped, is a measure of the supply of material still to be processed on the rock processing device.
  • the filling level of the material buffer can be represented by a filling height of the material added to the material buffer.
  • a single value of the filling height can be used as a representative value for an overall average filling height of the material buffer, or several local filling heights can be determined in order to resolve the filling of the material buffer more locally. It is also conceivable to use optical methods such as laser scanning to determine a profile of the surface of material added to the material buffer and its height above the known bottom of the material buffer.
  • the filling height or the local filling heights up to the surface profile of the filled material can already adequately represent the filling level. Alternatively, they can be related to the maximum capacity of the material buffer.
  • An overfilled material buffer should be avoided, as should an underfilled material buffer.
  • material is lost during the material feed because it can slip off a pile of material in the material buffer and fall next to the material feed device.
  • the conveying capacity of the material buffer can be impaired and the screening capacity of a pre-screen downstream of the material buffer can be negatively affected if the material buffer is overloaded.
  • overfilling the material buffer can lead to overfilling of a work unit following in the material flow, in particular a crushing device.
  • An underfilled feed hopper can lead to a high load on the conveyor device following the material buffer, since material hits the conveyor device directly when it is fed in, which can cause greater wear and higher noise emissions.
  • the filling level of the material buffer and its temporal development is a particularly preferred operating parameter for determining the next execution time of a future material feed. If, for example, it is possible to determine when the filling level of the material buffer will reach a predetermined minimum filling level in the future, then this information can be used to determine when the material buffer should be reloaded at the latest in order to avoid it being underfilled.
  • a safety margin of time can of course be taken into account so that disruptive influences that are always present at construction sites have no or only a minimal effect on the material flow.
  • construction site generally includes all sites where material to be processed by the rock processing device is produced or provided, such as quarries, gravel pits, building demolition sites and the like.
  • the term “mineral material” therefore includes both natural and processed mineral material. The latter includes building materials as well as returned oversize grain.
  • the filling level of the material buffer is repeatedly recorded in order to determine an emptying rate of the material buffer.
  • the rock processing device preferably comprises a time measuring device which is connected to the control device in terms of signal transmission, optionally with the above-mentioned data storage device interposed.
  • the or a time measuring device can be integrated into the at least one sensor and/or the input device and/or the control device.
  • the control device can assign an event time to detection events of the at least one sensor and/or input events of the at least one input device. From the time interval between at least two event times for a similar event, for example the detection of one and the same operating parameter, the control device can determine a rate of change associated with the respective events.
  • the control device can thus determine a rate of change of the fill level from two detections of the fill level of the material buffer and the known time interval between these detection events. From the determined rate of change and a fill level known through detection, the control device can, for example, determine a next execution time by extrapolation, if necessary taking into account the safety margin mentioned above.
  • the fill level of at least one conveyor device can be recorded as the or a relevant operating parameter. Preference is given to recording the fill level of a conveyor device that conveys from the material buffer to a work unit, in particular to a crushing device.
  • the conveying capacity of a conveyor device that conveys directly from the material buffer influences both the fill level of the material buffer and the fill level of the work unit, in particular the crushing device, to which it conveys material.
  • the same applies to recording a conveying speed of at least one conveyor device which in turn is preferably the conveyor device that conveys between the material buffer and the work unit, in particular the crushing device.
  • the product of the filling level and the conveying speed of a conveying device provides a measure of the volume conveyed by the conveying device or of the conveying capacity of the conveying device.
  • the conveying device can be a belt conveyor or a trough conveyor, the latter preferably using the micro-throw principle as a vibrating conveyor.
  • a vibrating conveyor preferably in the form of a trough conveyor, is particularly preferred as a conveying device for conveying between the material buffer and a crushing device.
  • the rock processing device can also have a plurality of conveying devices and will usually have such a plurality, for example because the same conveying device is not used as the feed conveyor. from the material buffer to a working unit and as a discharge conveyor from a working unit away from the rock processing device.
  • these can use different conveying principles, such as the micro-throw principle described above for vibration conveyors and/or like a belt conveyor, whereby the belt conveyor is generally used as a discharge conveyor due to the smaller grain size occurring in the discharge and a usually more homogeneous grain size distribution.
  • the conveying speed of a conveyor device can be determined in different ways.
  • the conveying speed can be determined independently of the type of conveyor device by detecting a movement in the conveying direction of a material lying on the conveyor device, for example by means of a light barrier, ultrasound, optical detection and image processing and the like.
  • the conveying speed of a belt conveyor can be detected by detecting the speed of a roller cooperating with the conveyor belt, be it a support roller or a drive roller, or by directly detecting the path speed of the conveyor belt.
  • the vibration amplitude and the vibration frequency can be a measure of the speed of material lying on a vibrating conveyor, so that detecting the vibration amplitude and the vibration frequency is a detection of variables that represent the conveying speed.
  • conveying power can be derived from the drive power of a motor that drives them, so that the conveying power can be indirectly derived from detecting a motor torque and a motor speed.
  • the output motor torque can be determined from the motor current drawn.
  • the torque delivered is proportional to the product of the pressure drop across the hydraulic motor and its displacement. Otherwise, a torque map can be determined and saved for each motor depending on its control variables. The motor torque can then be determined from the recorded control variables by calling up the torque map from the control device.
  • At least one sensor can include the filling level of a working unit of the at least one working unit.
  • sensors can be used that use the same physical operating principles to detect the filling level as the aforementioned sensors for determining the filling levels of the material buffer and/or the conveying device.
  • the filling level of a crushing device can be detected, for example, by light barriers, ultrasound and the like.
  • the working unit can be at least one crushing device from the at least one crushing device and/or can be a screening device from the at least one screening device. Preferably, if present, this is a crushing device. This is particularly significant for jaw crushers and cone crushers, but should not be ignored for impact crushers and roller crushers either.
  • the filling level of a crushing device also has a part to play in how quickly a material supply in the material buffer is reduced.
  • the filling level of a working unit of the rock processing device is a significant factor influencing the material flow in the rock processing device and thus for the unloading or emptying of the material buffer.
  • the filling level of a conveyor device is related to the conveying speed of the conveyor device
  • the filling level of a working unit is related to the working speed of the working unit. Therefore, in a preferred development of the present invention, a working speed of a working unit, i.e. at least one crushing device and/or at least one screening device, can be recorded.
  • the dimension of a crushing gap i.e. in particular the gap width, of a crushing device can be recorded as the at least one operating parameter.
  • a dimension of both an upper and a lower crushing gap on an upper or lower impact rocker and/or the crushing gap ratio of the aforementioned crushing gaps can be recorded as operating parameters.
  • Crushing gap dimensions can be recorded by recording a position of an actuator element which moves a movable component which limits the respective crushing gap dimension, so that a position of the actuator element is clearly assigned to a position of the movable component.
  • Such a component can be a movable crusher jaw or an impact rocker.
  • a calibration can be stored in the above-mentioned data storage device which links a detected position of the actuator element with a crushing gap dimension.
  • Operating loads can also be recorded by sensors as operating parameters, for example the operating load of a drive device, such as a central drive unit of the rock processing device, which converts the energy delivered to it into one or more different other forms of energy.
  • a drive device can be an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine, which converts the internal calorific value of a fuel into mechanical or kinetic energy on an output shaft.
  • An electric motor is also conceivable as such a drive device, which converts electrical energy supplied to it into mechanical or kinetic energy on an output shaft. The same applies to a hydraulic motor.
  • an operating load can be determined, for example, from a recording of the speed of the output shaft and a torque delivered at this speed. The recording of speed and torque of a shaft is well known in the prior art.
  • an engine torque can be taken from a torque map stored in the data memory using at least one other operating parameter, in which the engine torque is linked to the at least one other operating parameter.
  • the operating load of a working unit can be recorded as the at least one operating parameter.
  • a crushing device regardless of the specific type of crusher, there is always an input shaft which supplies kinetic energy to a moving part of the crushing device, such as the moving crusher jaw of a jaw crusher, the rotor of an impact crusher, the cone of a cone crusher or the roller of a roller crusher.
  • the speed of the input shaft can be measured, if necessary with additional recording and consideration the torque supplied by the input shaft, a measure of the working speed and/or the operating load of the crushing device.
  • the torque of the input shaft is the torque of a machine driving the input shaft, possibly converted by at least one gear arranged between the drive machine and the input shaft.
  • the working speed of the screening device can be represented by an amplitude and/or a frequency of a periodic screening movement.
  • the screening device is also driven by a drive shaft for its periodic movement. Its speed, possibly with additional detection and consideration of the torque supplied by the drive shaft, is also an indicator of the working speed and/or operating load of a screening device. Therefore, a sensor for detecting the working speed or the operating load of the screening device can detect the movement amplitude and/or the movement frequency of the screening device and/or a speed and/or a torque of the drive shaft of the screening device in question.
  • the filling level of a conveyor device is related to the conveying speed of the conveyor device
  • the filling level of a working unit is related to the working speed of the working unit. Therefore, in a preferred development of the present invention, a working speed of a working unit, i.e. at least one crushing device and/or at least one screening device, can be recorded.
  • Another possible operating parameter that can be recorded is the grain shape and/or the grain size of the fed and/or conveyed material and/or the proportion of foreign material in the fed and/or conveyed material, whereby the conveyed material was usually previously fed into the material feed device.
  • the distribution of grain sizes, i.e. the frequency of occurrence of individual different grain sizes or grain size ranges, in the fed and/or extracted material can be an operating parameter relevant to the material flow in the rock processing device.
  • Grain shapes and/or grain sizes and grain size distributions and/or the proportion of foreign material can be recorded, for example, by image processing.
  • the grain size distribution in particular is a key factor influencing the success of a preliminary screening process, which in turn influences the quality of a downstream crushing device and, as a result, the amount of oversized grain produced.
  • Foreign material is particularly non-breakable material such as plastic, wood, steel and the like. These foreign materials can disrupt the operating sequence of a rock processing device.

  • an operation aimed at minimizing or eliminating the amount of oversize is not necessarily the most economical operation of the rock processing device 12 due to the beneficial effects of oversize as a support grain in the crushing gap.
  • a very small amount of oversize often means an excessive amount of overly finely crushed material, which is generally not desired. If the amount of recycled material decreases, the quality of the final product often also decreases because it then contains less multiply crushed material.
  • control device 60 can also aim to operate the rock processing device 12 on the basis of several target variables or one target variable with further specified boundary conditions based on the data relationships available to it and determined in advance by test operations with targeted parameter variation, such as the production of valuable grain with different grain sizes in a predetermined quantity ratio with the lowest possible energy consumption and with the most advantageous possible amount of returned oversize grain.
  • control device 60 can change the conveying speed of one or more conveying devices, can change the crushing gap width, in particular of the upper and/or lower crushing gap, can change the rotor speed, can control the material feed into the material feed device 22 locally and temporally, etc.
  • the input variables used for operational optimization can be the size and/or height and/or growth of valuable grain stockpiles, in this case, for example, valuable grain stockpiles 44 and 48, the size and/or height and/or growth of the stockpile of the undersize fraction 30, the amount of oversize grain returned, the fed-in grain size and fed-in grain size distribution, which can be determined primarily via the material parameters entered via the input device 64.
  • the entered material parameters can include at least one material parameter from the type of material, moisture level, hardness, density, breakability, abrasiveness, proportion of foreign matter in the fed-in and/or processed material, etc., the grain size and grain size distribution in the individual discharge conveyor devices. This list is not exhaustive.
  • the grain size and grain size distribution, and possibly also the grain shape can be determined by cameras with downstream image processing.
  • the grain size and the grain size distribution in a discharge conveyor can be additionally or alternatively determined by the allocation of one of the respective discharge conveyors in the material flow upstream screening device. Additionally or alternatively, the desired target quantity of a respective end product can serve as an input variable for operational optimization.
  • control device 60 By applying artificial intelligence methods, the control device 60, if desired with the involvement of powerful external data processing devices, can continuously improve the accuracy of the stored data relationships through its daily operation and the data and knowledge collected during it.
  • the rock processing device 12 can thus not only optimize its own operation, but can essentially gradually take over the organization of the entire construction site in the immediate vicinity of the rock processing device 12.
