The screw conveyor system installed in EPB Shield TBM chamber was manufactured in small scale for pilot test to investigate the tunnel muck hauling system that could control the earth pressure and support face thrust force. In this experimental study, there were three different test conditions that include screw angles, screw pitch, and screw RPM. Through analysis on test results based on the muck hauling amount per unit time from screw conveyor, the optimum conditions of screw conveyor were proposed to be efficiently performed by the muck processing system. Finally, this study provided the meaningful results such as optimum screw angle, screw RPM, and screw pitch for anti-reverse flow of muck hauling.

제철소에서의 원료 운송 작업은, 선박에 선적된 원료를 하역하여 야드에 적치한 후, 제반 원료 소요공장까지의 벨트 컨베이어를 통한 원료 수송 작업을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 원료 운송과 관련한 선박 접안, 원료 하역 및 벨트 컨베이어 수송 일정 계획을 효과적으로 수립하기 위하여 이단계 계획적 구조를 이용한 일정계획 휴리스틱을 개발하고 이를 구현하기 위한 전문가 시스템을 개발하였다. 이단계 계층적 구조는 상위 단계의 Scheduler 와 하위 단계의 복수개의 Dispatcher 로 구성되어 있다. 하위 단계의 Dispatcher는 주어진 제약조건하에서 단위 문제를 해결하고 이를 상위 단계의 Scheduler에게 보고하게 된다. 상위 단계의 Scheduler 는 전체적인 문제 해결의 우선 순위 결정 및 Dispatcher 간의 상층을 해결하는 역할을 맡게 된다. 이러한 계층적 구조를 이용한 분산처리를 통해 문제의 복잡성을 줄이고, 시스템 설계의 모듈화 및 유연성있는 시스템 구축이 가능하게 되었다. 본 시스템은 실시간 전문가 시스템 도구인 G2를 이용하여 SUN Workstation에서 개발되었다.

벨트 컨베이어 설비에서 비상사태 발생 시 비상 정지 동작을 수행하는 풀 코드 스위치(Pull Cord Switch)는 동작 된 스위치의 위치 파악이 어려워 설비 정지시간을 길어지게 하여 막대한 손실을 발생시키게 한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 전력선을 이용한 방법, 단방향 무선통신을 이용한 방법 등이 제안되어 사용되고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 Zigbee 기반의 무선 센서 네트워크를 이용하여 벨트 컨베이어 시스템의 풀 코드 스위치 동작 상태를 실시간 모니터링 할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고 운용자가 시스템의 장애상태, 위치를 좀 더 다양한 인터페이스를 통하여 감시 할 수 있는 모니터링 시스템을 구현하였다.

장거리 시스템의 경우에 있어서 기동과 정지 시의 동적하중은 구동부 입력크기의 변화와 구동부간이 기동 시간차이로부터 발생되며, 벨트로 전파되어 장력변화를 일으키고, 과도한 장력의 변화는 인장과 압축의 탄성파로 벨트요소의 응력을 증가시키며, 벨트, 풀리, 아이들러(idler)등의 벨트요소들을 파괴시킨다. 따라서 동적해석에 의한 설계가 필수적으로 요구되어 벨트의 동적거동 해석에 대한 연구가 많이 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 벨트 컨베이어 시스템을 집중질량모델(lumped mass model)로 근사하여 모델링하는 방법을 도입하여 세부요소에 대한 운동방정식을 유도하고, 각 요소 모델링을 결합하여 전체 운동방정식을 수립하였으며, 예제 시스템에 적용하여 동적거동을 해석하였다. 예제 시스템에 있어서 기동시의 구동입력을 두 가지 형태의 입력을 이용하였고, 정지시에는 구동부 브레이크가 없는 경우로 정상운전상태에서 순간적으로 구동부의 동력을 제거하는 방법을 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 기동시의 구동입력을 적절히 제어하므로 벨트 속도와 장력의 변화를 줄일 수 있는 입력형태를 결정할 수 있었고, 이 때의 테이크업의 운동도 구할 수 있었다.

In this paper, an algorithm for object counting via a conveyor system using machine vision is suggested. Object counting systems using image processing have been applied in a variety of industries for such purposes as measuring floating populations and traffic volume, etc. The methods of object counting mainly used involve template matching and machine learning for detecting and tracking. However, operational time for these methods should be short for detecting objects on quickly moving conveyor belts. To provide this characteristic, this algorithm for image processing is a region-based method. In this experiment, we counted young abalone shells that are similar in shape, size and color. We applied a characteristic conveyor system that operated in one direction. It obtained information on objects in the region of interest by comparing a second frame that continuously changed according to the information obtained with reference to objects in the first region. Objects were counted if the information between the first and second images matched. This count was exact when young shells were evenly spaced without overlap and missed objects were calculated using size information when objects moved without extra space. The proposed algorithm can be applied for various object counting controls on conveyor systems.

In the splay manufacturing process, conveyor systems are widely used for conveying panels. In this conveyor, a large number of grounding lines are used in order to prevent a product failure due to static electricity. In many cases, the grounding line is disconnected due to the rotation of the transporting roller or curling, leading to product failure. In order to solve such a problem, there is a growing need for a system capable of detecting disconnection of a ground wire in real time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a disconnection monitoring system of ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) ground wire caused by friction between the conveyor drive part and the panel. The proposed system is a monitoring system that can detect disconnection and disconnection of ground wire using ATmega 2560 and Wheatstone Bridge circuit. It can detect disconnection of ground wire immediately and can take measures to reduce the defect rate due to static electricity. The system proposed in this paper is expected to be applicable to the production and test equipments of all industries where the ground wire is used.

This study was conducted to assess the effects of the removal of pesticide residues and microorganisms from yuja (Citrus junos Sieb ex Tanaka) using a surface-washing system, under the following washing conditions: 0.11, 0.42, and 0.73 m/s spray rotation speeds; 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2 MPa water pressure and 0.046, 0.092, and 0.138 m/s conveying speeds. Tap-water treatment was used as the control. The washing efficiency when using squid ink was highly correlated with the conveying speed and the spray rotation speed. In addition, the highest washing efficiency was achieved when the water pressure was 0.9 MPa. The microorganisms were reduced to 0.40 log CFU/g for the tap-water treatment, and all the treatments, except those at the conveying speed of 0.138 m/s and the spray rotation speed of 0.11 rpm (6.07 log CFU/g), produced higher removal efficiencies compared with the tap-water treatment. Reductions of 2.20 and 2.05 log CFU/g were achieved at the spray rotation speeds of 0.42 and 0.73, respectively. The largest reductions were observed when the conveying speed was 0.046 m/s. Higher pesticide residue removal efficiency values were obtained at slower conveying speeds and higher spray rotation speeds. Higher than 50% removal efficiency was achieved when the spray rotation speed was 0.046 m/s for spirodichlofen, deltamethrin, benomyl, thiophanate-methyl, and acequinocyl. Especially, the removal efficiency for benomyl and thiophanate-methyl was more than 90%. It can thus be concluded that the pesticide residues in yuja can be effectively reduced by washing the latter with a less-than-0.092-m/s conveying speed and a higher-than-0.42-m/s spray rotation speed.

This paper presents an automated cow-feeding system based on an AGV and screw conveyor for domestic livestock farms, which are becoming larger and more commercialized. The system includes a hopper module for loading pellet-type mixed feed at the top of the system, a transfer module mounted with a screw conveyor to transfer feed from the hopper module to the outlet module, an outlet module composed of belt conveyors, and an electromagnetic guided driving-type AGV. The weight of the loaded feed is measured by a load cell located under the transfer module. The system reads the feed discharge information stored in RFID tags installed in each cowshed cell, and a predetermined amount of feed is discharged while the AGV is moving. A cow-feed test system was constructed to determine the design parameters of the screw conveyor in the transfer module that determine the feeding capacity. These parameters include the screw's outer diameter, the screw shaft outer diameter, and screw pitch. The parameters were applied to the finalized cow-feed system construction. A DSP-based main controller and cow-feeding algorithm for different scenarios were also developed to control the system. Experimental results confirmed that the system could supply a total of 21 kg of feed uniformly at 420 g/s for a cowshed cell which has 7 cows. The driving distance was 5 m and the speed was 0.1 m/s. Thus, the proposed system could be applied to standardized domestic livestock farms.
