4.3.2Unattended control system for stacker reclaimers
The stacker reclaimers are installed with high precision positioning system, anti-collision system, flow detection system, monitoring system, 3D data analysis system, etc., and a set of high precision belt scale is installed for each stacker reclaimer. It is able to locate the stacker reclaimers accurately and realize the remote automatic control of the stacker reclaimers. Through the human-machine interface and video monitoring system to achieve remote automatic control of the stacker reclaimer, should be able to achieve automatic addressing, automatic stacking, automatic reclaiming and other functions, and in the human-machine interface can get a variety of stacker reclaimer operating status indicators and fault information. In the central control room, in addition to the emergency button, to achieve soft and hard direct control of the stacker reclaimer, and with on-site monitoring images. The system has local manual, local full-automatic, remote manual, remote full-automatic operation modes, between various modes to achieve two-way manual and automatic non-intrusive switching, to improve operational efficiency and system safety.
The unattended control of stacker reclaimers has the following basic functions:
Automatic Addressing: The system has automatic addressing function to realize fully automatic start-up of relevant equipment. According to the operation mode and one-key selection of coal pile from remote operator station (coal pile number and coal seam), the system automatically calculates the positioning operation point and locates it automatically.
Automatic stacking:The automatic stacking can choose the way of fixed-point stacking by walking car or fixed-point stacking by moving belt machine, and the height of stacking is detected in real time by material height detection device. The stacking height and width should be self-setting, and the system automatically adjusts the moving speed of the mobile belt machine and the forward (backward) speed of the car, without manual intervention in the whole process.
Automatic pick-up:The stacker reclaimer automatically starts to take material according to the process automatically after starting the relevant equipment (the amount of coal to be taken can be set according to the need). The control system automatically controls the feeding step and the lifting of the movable beam until the feeding process is completed. The stacker reclaimer control system automatically adjusts according to the set value of the coal taking volume to maintain a constant flow of coal taking, without manual intervention throughout the process.
Real-time coal pile measurement:During the operation of the stacker reclaimer (including manual mode, automatic mode), the coal is measured in real time, and the background software builds a three-dimensional model of the coal pile in real time as the basic data for unattended control, with a modeling frequency of 1 Hz. coal pile data is updated in real time at the remote operator station of the stacker reclaimer, and at the same time, coal pile data (graphics) can be manually deleted and mistakenly deleted at the remote operator station of the stacker reclaimer with one key recovery, and in the graphics Server for coal pile data (graph) history playback.

4.4Coalfield Safety Monitoring System
4.4.1The Need for Coalfield Safety Monitoring
Long-term contact between coal and air will lead to oxidation reaction and release heat. Although the heat in the outer layer of the coal pile can be emitted, due to the slow air flow and poor ventilation inside the coal pile, resulting in the accumulation of internal heat, the temperature inside the coal pile becomes higher and higher, and when the temperature exceeds the spontaneous combustion point of coal, spontaneous combustion will occur, causing great damage to personnel and equipment. At the same time, the spontaneous combustion of coal will also produce carbon monoxide, methane and other toxic and harmful gases. In the current form of national vigorous implementation of environmental management, real-time effective monitoring of coal pile temperature has huge social and economic benefits, and is an important part of the implementation of "digital coal yard", which is very necessary.

The infrared thermal imaging online monitoring fire warning system can divide the whole coal yard into multiple sub-regions according to the site situation, and set the temperature alarm value and abnormal temperature rise conditions for each area. to verify the processing. At the same time, the system can also establish a linkage mechanism with on-site fire protection facilities, and the alarm signal can be given directly to the fire alarm device, which triggers the fire protection water cannon and other fire protection facilities to act and automatically carry out cooling treatment. It realizes three control modes: centralized fire alarm, local manual fire cannon, and remote control room visual operation manual, and self-tracing automatic detection and fire extinguishing control mode.
4.4.4Hazardous gas and dust concentration monitoring
