Pomiary in-situ wysięgników wielonaczyniowych koparek kołowych w kopalniach CEO z wykorzystaniem tensometrów i akcelerometrów

The boom of BWE is a very complex structure, dictated by its functions in operation of the excavator. In the simplest approach, it can be considered as an arm of an R-R robotic manipulator, having at distal extremity the working element, i.e. the bucket wheel, being fixed at proximal extremity by a joint to the turret, which, at its turn is articulated to the infrastructure which includes the undercarriage (travelling mechanism). In order to reduce the weight/stiffness ratio and to include the on board conveyer, the boom is generally embodied as a lattice – truss structure. The constitutive elements i.e. the members and joints are subject to severe loads, which due to their cyclical variable character with a high random component, lead to failures which are caused by overloading and/or fatigue. The actual paper deals with the field measurements performed in past years on several BWEs from CEO open pits, including acceleration measurements and stress measurements using strain gauges. Both kind of sensors-accelerometers and strain gauges were mounted on several critical points of the boom, and the measurements were performed both in normal operation and in some loading-operating scenarios. The recorded data were postprocessed in order to obtain spectral graphs in order to obtain information about the influence of different excitation sources on the boom elements behaviour.Wysięgnik wielonaczyniowej koparki kołowej jest złożoną strukturą definiowaną przez technologię pracy koparki. W celu zmniejszenia stosunku waga/sztywność oraz występowania przenośnika taśmowego wysięgnik jest zaprojektowany jako konstrukcja kratownicowa. Jej elementy są poddawane silnym obciążeniom, które ze względu na ich cykliczny charakter z wysoką składową losową prowadzą do awarii spowodowanych przeciążeniem lub zmęczeniem konstrukcji. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia pomiary terenowe wykonane w ostatnich latach na wielonaczyniowych koparkach kołowych pracujących w kopalniach CEO za pomocą tensometrów oraz akcelerometrów. Pomiary te zostały zamontowane w krytycznych punktach wysięgnika, a pomiary zostały wykonane zarówno podczas normalnej pracy koparki jak i podczas realizacji scenariuszy obciążenia. Zarejestrowane dane zostały poddane obróbce w celu uzyskania wykresów widmowych

Designing a smart gateway for data fusion implementation in a distributed electronic system used in automotive industry

This paper focuses on the interdisciplinary research on the design of a smart gateway for managing the dynamic error code testing collected and generated by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) from the automotive industry. The techniques used to exchange information between the ECU code errors and knowledge bases, based on data fusion methods, allowed us to consolidate and ensure data reliability, and then to optimize processed data in our distributed electronic systems, as the basic state for Industry 4.0 standards. At the same time, they offered optimized data packets when the gateway was tested as a service integrator for ECU maintenance. The embedded programming solutions offered us safe, reliable, and flexible data packet management results on both communication systems (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Provider (TCP/IP) and Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus) on the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) tested for diesel, high-pressure common rail engines. The main goal of this paper is to provide a solution for a smart, hardware–software, Industry-4.0-ready gateway applicable in the automotive industry
