Pouring Point Location Method for Concrete Pump Truck

Abstract:

A method is presented for determining the pouring point location of concrete pump truck. The method does not change the structure of the concrete pump truck, only need to replace the hydraulic cylinders of booms with the hydraulic cylinders with displacement senor, and the displacement sensors are mounted in the inside of the hydraulic cylinders and do not need any extra protection. The relationship formulas between the contraction and expansion amounts of the hydraulic cylinders and the pouring point location are derived and programmed to input into a data processing unit. The contraction and expansion amounts of the hydraulic cylinders are timely acquired and inputted into the data processing unit, then the pouring point location can be displayed in real-time on the screen of radio controller, and the workers can quickly and accurately locate the pouring point of the concrete pump truck to poured point.
