Literature 1.1 Introduction Within this dissertation the field of control systems and their implementation to existing rim, methodology and the general overview of the conducted research, design and co bots will be examined and finally carried out. This chapter will outline and discuss the constructions of the control systems. 1.2 Project Aim The aim of this project is to investigate suitable control strategies for the maneuvering of a Load-Haul-Dump (LHD) unit within the confines of a mine. Further research is to be done specifically on a tale-operational and fully automated control system to investigate what would be required to implement such a system to a LHD unit. Due to the tale-operational system requiring the use of a camera, the automated system will also utilizes this tool by using machine vision as its guidance system. The core of this project will then be the implementation of these two control systems to an existing scale model of a LHD unit. 1.3 Methodology The following steps are the way in which this project will be undertaken. All of these will be conducted under the supervision of a professional engineer who will assist with guidance and provide some technical information and advice. 1.4 Conclusion This chapter has introduced the project at hand implementing a tele-operatedand automated control system to an already constructed LHD model unit. Discussed in the next chapter is beneficial background information which will form the basis for latter sections of this report. 1.5 LHD Model Analysis Analyses the already constructed LHD model to ascertain how it all operates, as well as the mechanical, electrical and control features. This information was gathered by experimenting with it and testing its boundaries. The following could then be determined: Whether the existing mechanical features, circuitry and programming are appropriate for my project.What equipment, components or programming needs to be re-designed to allow the unit to be tale-operated and auto mated. 1.6 Modeling Review an appropriate modeling technique for the LHD unit, choose appropriate state variables and derive an algebraic equation for the control of the unit. This will be done by researching different modeling methods through databases, libraries and previous engineering related study. Simulation is used to test these, and to verify the unit will act how one would expect it to according to various inputs. This simulation will be conducted using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. 1.7 Programming Construct the communication programs for the unit to run tale-operated and automated. This program will also be coded using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, and will include functions to do all of the following: Receive the visual from the unit to the computer. Instruct the unit what direction it should go (far tale-operational), or detect the walls of the tunnel and move accordingly (for automated). 1.8 Testing Finally, the LHD unit will be physically tested to ensure it will operate correctly for both of the control strategies. This will be done by putting together a simulated tunnel for the unit to maneuvers its way through without encountering any collisions. 1.9 Conclusion This chapter has introduced the project at hand, implementing a tale-operated and automated control system to an already constructed LHD model unit. IILoad-Haul Dump Units 2.1 Introduction This chapter will review literature to establish the need for a suitable control strategy for the widely used Load-Haul-Dump (LHD) unit. After researching and gathering the relevant background information appropriate for this project, it is then possible to implement these strategies to an actual model LHD unit. 2.2 Load-Haul Dump Units The load-haul-dump (LHD) unit is used extensively in underground mining to perform a variety of tasks within this field. Although their main role is to return and transport the mines ore from the point of cutting to either dumping points, haulage trucks or crushing station (Tyson ). The underground mining environment is extremely dangerous where some LHD accidents have caused major injury and occasional deaths to the operators onboard these vehicles as well as other mining crew. These vehicles must be able to travel through narrow winding tunnels which have high temperatures, dusty and dirty conditions as well as withstanding the occasional collision with the walls of the tunnel. Typical LHD units, as shown in figure 1.1, are either diesel or electric powered, running on four solid rubber tires and no suspension. They are made up of an articulated body with the two section connected by a kingpin hitch that can pivot. This articulated setup uses two hydraulic actuators to provide the steering for the unit which provides excellent curve negotiation within the tight winding tunnels. Figure 1.1: Load-Haul-Dump unitThe two sections of the unit both have a single axle with non steerable wheels, the front section contains the bucket or scoop, and the back section contains the engine. The profile of the vehicle complies with the cross section of the mining tunnels they are used in, this means they are long, low and relatively wide compared to their height (Tyson n.d.). 2.3 Control Strategies A control system implemented onto a LHD unit would be ideal for the dangerous mine environments in which they operate, although would prove to be difficult due to the rough, unpredictable state of the mines. Stents(2001) stated that a semi-automated system would promote features such as increased productivity, reduced operational costs and improved safety. There is a wide range of different control strategies that could be implemented onto a LHD unit. The two main categories of these are either infrastructure assisted guidance or an independent vehicle strategy that required no infrastructure construction or modifying of the tunnels (Billingsley 1997, p3). The advantage of the independent vehicle control strategy is that since no changes need to be made to the physical tunnel of the mine the LHD unit is being used in, the vehicle can be used in any mine at anytime. The four main control strategies that were analyzed and compared regarding the LHD unit were manual operation, remote control, tale-operational and fully automated. 2.3.1 Manual Operation Manual operation is currently the most common strategy used in the mining industry, where a driver is onboard the LHD unit at all times positioned in a closed cabin. The cabin is positioned perpendicular to the direction of travel for viewing where the vehicle is going in the forward and backward direction. The main disadvantage to this operating method is the concern of the drivers safety, driver fatigue and basic human error. The advantage to this method, compared to remote control and tale-operational methods is that the unit can travel much faster through the tunnels as the operator is on board, this is due to remote sensory perception (Robert et al. 2000).2.3.2 Remote Control A remote control vehicle means that the operator is out and distanced from the machine but still in the line of sight of the unit to control it via a remote control transmitter. The advantage to this system is that the operator is located away from the immediate danger the LHD would otherwise put an onboard driver in. Saying this, there is still the risk of injury and accidents due to the line of sight rule and there is still the concern of driver fatigue and human error. The disadvantage to this system is that the driver is not in any type of cabin area and since they must be in line of sight of the vehicle at all times it usually requires them to stand while controlling the unit. Consequently there is still the risk of injury with driver fatigue and human error still a concern.2.3.3 Tele-operated Control A tale-operated control system is similar to a remote controlled system, where the operator is still in full control of the vehicle at all times but there is greater distance between the operator and the device. The operator can be safe and comfortable aboveground controlling the vehicle by an operator interface. This interface consists of two basic components; the vision system and control panel. The main disadvantage to this control system is that the vehicle is not able to be driven as fast as what could be achieved with a driver actually onboard the unit. This is due to the limited remote sensory perception (Robert et al. 2000). 2.3.4 Fully Automated Control An automated system means the operator is still above ground, but he is playing a supervisory role to the system, hence they are still remote from the danger within the mine. There are a number of ways to implement an automated system the most common include machine vision, sensors and receivers, and GPS. These will be covered later. The main advantage to this system is that since the vehicle is capable of autonomous steering throughout the underground tunnels, the LHD unit can travel at a greater speed, hence improving productivity whilst still maintaining a safe environment. 2.5 Machine Vision Machine vision is the acquiring and processing of an image and then the deciphering of information presented in the image for controlling a specific purpose. It uses digital cameras, image processing software and relevant communication between digital input/output devices of the system it is controlling. The key characteristics of any standard machine vision system is a digital camera with a camera interface program which captures the cameras image and converts the image into an array of numbers. This array represents the pixels of the image and the image is then manipulated or analyzed by computer software depending on the application of the system. 2.6 Modeling To successfully design a control system for any type of vehicle it is essential to have a model the can describe the vehicles position, orientation and other important vehicle parameters at any point in time. As stated by Ridley and Corke (2003), for a LHD unit the basic kinematic model is the most appropriate modeling method for the vehicle, although this can be a challenging task due to the unique articulated structure of the unit. 2.7 Conclusion This chapter reviewed literature and established a clear view of the Load-Haul- Dump (LHD) unit, the type of modeling to be conducted and also a brief summation on the control strategies to be implemented to the vehicle. 中文部分: 鏟運(yùn)機(jī)1.文獻(xiàn)1.1簡(jiǎn)介 在本論文中,控制系統(tǒng)及其在現(xiàn)有機(jī)器上的實(shí)施領(lǐng)域?qū)徸h并最終執(zhí)行。本章將概述和討論研究的目的,方法和普遍概況,和控制系統(tǒng)的建設(shè)與設(shè)計(jì)。1.2項(xiàng)目目標(biāo) 這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的目的是為地下鏟運(yùn)機(jī)的機(jī)動(dòng)性探討適當(dāng)?shù)目刂撇呗?。進(jìn)一步的研究工作將展開尤其是遠(yuǎn)程操作系統(tǒng)和完全自動(dòng)化控制系統(tǒng),調(diào)查在一個(gè)鏟運(yùn)機(jī)上實(shí)施這樣一個(gè)系統(tǒng)需要什么。由于遠(yuǎn)程業(yè)務(wù)系統(tǒng)要求使用照相機(jī),自動(dòng)系統(tǒng)也將利用此工具,將機(jī)器視覺作為指導(dǎo)系統(tǒng)。這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的核心將是這兩個(gè)控制系統(tǒng)在一個(gè)現(xiàn)有規(guī)模的鏟運(yùn)機(jī)模型上的實(shí)施。1.3方法 下面的步驟是在本項(xiàng)目將采取的方式。所有步驟將在專業(yè)工程師監(jiān)督協(xié)助指導(dǎo)下進(jìn)行,并由他們提供一些技術(shù)資料和意見。相關(guān)文獻(xiàn)于以下方面: 一個(gè)典型的鏟運(yùn)機(jī)的主要特征,以及他們需要做什么。 自動(dòng)化的實(shí)施。自動(dòng)化可以實(shí)現(xiàn)什么?自動(dòng)鏟運(yùn)機(jī)對(duì)采礦業(yè)意味著什么?
