At present, China's UAV and robot industry is developing rapidly. UAV and robots are safe, fast and convenient to replace manual labor, and the use cost is low. A large number of popular applications are being carried out in many industries, some of which have been applied to the civil field. Many hotels and restaurants are using robots to deliver water and vegetables, and agricultural spraying UAVs are also being rapidly popularized; The cement industry also has some cases and scenarios using UAVs and robots. The following is an introduction to the current use case scenarios of UAVs and robots in the cement industry and the possible use scenarios of UAVs and robots in the future:
I. Introduction
to the application scenarios of UAVs in the cement industry 1.1. In the construction of digital mines, UAVs need to fly to scan mine data. Modeling; another application is that the government forces the mine to carry out dynamic inspection every year, invites a professional third-party company to measure, calculates the mining volume of the year according to the volume difference of the second inspection, issues a professional mining report, and pays the corresponding mining fees.
1.
At present, UAV patrol inspection has been promoted rapidly in the power industry and long-distance oil and gas pipeline patrol inspection, and there are many cases, but there are few cases in the cement industry. 1.1
. The traditional way to check the wall of the storehouse without entering the storehouse is to use a snake-shaped camera. Some of them need to open the top of the storehouse, which is inconvenient. It is generally difficult to inspect the internal refractory material of the preheater from the manhole door to the overall view of the interior, and some need to erect scaffolding for internal inspection, which is dangerous and has a large workload. At present, there is an anti-collision UAV, which can fly into a narrow space for inspection, take video and use radar to scan shape of the space, and use special algorithms for three-dimensional modeling. In the cement industry, it can be used to fly in narrow spaces such as chimney, preheater decomposition furnace, cyclone, kiln tail waste gas pipeline, large storage and so on, for shooting and three-dimensional modeling, so as to facilitate system inspection and find problems.
1. At present, the fixed route flight technology of UAVs based on point-to-point in open areas is mature, which can be transported at multiple points, and it is also convenient to replace the delivery point. In open places such as mines, drilling samples can be transported to the laboratory by UAV, which can solve the problem of large mine area and inconvenient sample delivery. In some large cement enterprises, this method can also be used to transport the samples far away from the laboratory, such as cement samples out of the mill and limestone samples into the factory, by UAV fixed line. At present, there are mature cases of UAV transporting materials in mountain scenic spots.
1. This method is convenient and fast, with low human interference and high accuracy, and is suitable for the inventory operation of large round piles, long piles and open-air storage yards in cement enterprises. At present, many enterprises are promoting this scheme.
industry is developing rapidly. At present, robots have been used instead of manual labor on a large scale in electronic manufacturing, automobile manufacturing and other industries. The robots used in the cement industry are mainly mechanical arms to transport materials and load and unload, and some large warehouses use AGV and IGV automation cars. There are not many applications of robots in the cement industry as a whole, and more scenarios need to be developed to use robots instead of manual labor. The details are as follows:
2. Specific bagged cement bag insertion is currently divided into manipulator bag insertion machine and jet bag insertion machine, and there are matching bag sorting machine or bag feeding machine, which can fully realize automation and intelligent bag insertion operation. Instead of manual bag insertion, only one worker is needed to regularly carry the woven bags to the bag sorting machine or the bag feeding machine. At present, the structure of the automatic loading machine also has various forms: a mechanical arm type, which can grab one to two bags of cement at a time for loading, a cylinder type bag-falling type, and a truss type loading robot, which can also realize automatic loading of cement bags, and has less achievements in the cement industry; In the past two years, bagged cement pallets are also popular for automatic palletizing, and then cold-drawn film plastic packaging. Each pallet is one ton or two tons, which is convenient for forklift loading and unloading. At present, the loading machine can automatically obtain the loading volume from the one-card system, automatically scan car body, automatically calculate the loading chopping type, and then automatically palletize and load;
At present, the cement automatic bagging and bagging automatic loading technology is developing rapidly, and the technology is constantly iterating, showing a flourishing state, which has been promoted rapidly in the cement industry in the past two years.
2. At present, the overall price of fully automated laboratory equipment is still on the high side. With the progress of technology and the reduction of cost in the future, intelligent laboratory will become the standard configuration in the cement industry in the future.
2. At present, belt conveyor rail inspection robots are more widely used in coal mines and other industries than in the cement industry. Due to the large number of belt conveyors in the cement industry, belt inspection robots will certainly be widely promoted in the cement industry in the future. 2.2.
At present, it is indeed possible to operate the machine outside the warehouse to clean wall-hanging materials in the warehouse without entering the warehouse. It is expected that the intelligent warehouse cleaning robot capable of intelligent identification and intelligent cleaning of crusts will be developed as soon as possible and put into commercial application to benefit the cement industry.
2. At present, there are more than ten mines in the cement industry, with more than 100 driverless mine cars in actual operation, which can realize automatic driving, automatic queuing and avoidance, automatic unloading and other functions, and have achieved good economic and social benefits. It will be widely used in the cement mining industry in the future. 2.2
.
It is hoped that in the future, four-legged and two-legged robots in science fiction movies can replace manual inspection and other physical and mental operations, completely liberate manual labor and realize intelligent cement production.
Summary: With the development of technology, the price of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and robots is constantly decreasing, and they have more and more functions and become more and more practical. In addition, with the rising cost of labor, it is believed that more and more application scenarios in the cement industry will use UAVs and robots to replace manual work in the future, so as to realize truly intelligent and unmanned production.
Digitalization and intellectualization are the core factors affecting the long-term development of cement enterprises.To this end, China Cement Network will hold a < a href = "https://www.ccement." with the theme of "Data-driven Decision-making Intelligence Leads the Future" in Hangzhou on November 29, 2023.
