The traditional volume calculation will also cause certain errors when a lot of manpower and material resources are invested, and the bulk materials stored on the pile are not evenly distributed, so it is difficult to accurately know the volume of the material. The outer contour of the entire coal pile is scanned using a 2D laser scanner. Relevant software can accurately calculate the volume of materials and reduce manual measurement errors.
For example, the automatic measurement and mapping device for coal pile volume in a coal yard is characterized by the insertion of two laser scanners on the carriage of the gantry stacker and reclaimer, one of which is driven by an angle scanning rotating platform fixed in the middle of the carriage beam to drive the angle. Scan to complete the measurement of coal pile surface height and abscissa. It is not affected by the limitation of driving machinery movement and external conditions. The other side rangefinder corresponds to the off-site target to sense the X-direction distance of the measured point in real time and quickly achieve a fixed reference The spatial positioning of points. Using TOF series safety laser scanners, the overall volume measurement of coal piles has high accuracy, fast speed, and simple structure, which can fully meet the production management needs of power plants.
