Patent

CA 2435018

An anti-collision protection system for machines that operate in a raw material stockpile yard is disclosed. The machines are moveable in the yard in defined paths, with each machine including a material delivery and/or material recovery boom that can be rotated about a vertical axis. The system includes: a means for defining an envelope around each boom (5) that moves with the boom, each envelope forming a boundary of an exclusion zone for the boom. The system also includes a means for detecting an intersection of the boundaries of the exclusion zones and a means responsive to a detected boundary intersection to prevent collision of the machines.

L'invention concerne un système anti-collision destiné à des machines fonctionnant dans une aire de stockage de matières premières. Les machines peuvent être déplacées dans l'aire selon des trajets définis, chaque machine comprenant un bras de distribution et/ou de récupération de matériaux pouvant pivoter autour d'un axe vertical. Le système comprend un moyen qui délimite une enveloppe autour de chaque bras (5) et se déplace avec le bras, chaque enveloppe formant une limite d'une zone d'exclusion pour le bras. Le système comprend également un moyen de détection et d'intersection des limites des zones d'exclusion, et un moyen qui réagit à une intersection de limites détectée pour empêcher la collision des machines.
