Abstract:
A system and method for automated control of reclaimers includes a boom, a bucket wheel, and a translation system. This system comprises memorizing operating parameters used during a turning movement of the boom, allowing identification of positions where there was an overflow or an unsatisfactory reclaiming flow. With this memorized information, the flow controller makes changes to the boom turning speed (Vg), increasing it in positions where the reclaiming flow was low and decreasing it in positions where there was overflow.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for controlling a reclaimer having a boom, comprising:\n sampling, for a given time, variables including: mass flow rate (Vz); boom rotating speed (Vg); and angular position (\u03b8) of the boom; averaging values of the boom rotating speed (Vg) and the mass flow rate (Vz) at each angular range of the angular position (\u03b8) of the boom; calculating a correlation (Co) between the values of the average boom rotating speed (Vgm) and the average mass flow rate (Vzm) for each angular position (\u03b8) of the boom; recording the angular position (\u03b8) of the boom in an overflow event, if any; recording a last angular position (\u03b8n) and the rotating speed (Vg) of the boom in which a considered mass flow rate (Vzc) is obtained before reverting a turning movement of the boom; initializing movement of the boom after the turning movement in the opposite direction; monitoring the boom rotating speed (Vg) based on a value recorded at the last angular position (\u03b8n) in which a considered mass flow rate (Vzc) was obtained; verifying the angular position (\u03b8) in the turning movement of the boom where an overflow event was identified; calculating an ideal boom rotating speed (Vgi) during the movement of the boom in the opposite direction; and verifying a possibility of applying the ideal boom rotating speed (Vgi).
