Calculation Method of Ore Heap Volume Model Based on Open Pit Ore

Abstract

As an important part of the ore transportation route, the open-pit ore bin can store ore when there is more incoming material in the upper stream and act as a buffer. When the material is missing, it can be fed to prevent the downstream machine from idling. We can calculate the location of a certain grade of ore through the volume of the mine heap to prepare for the later addition of ore. The volume of the ore bunker is roughly estimated by human observation, which results in a large volume error and affects the later addition of ore. In order to avoid the deviation of the volume calculation caused by rough estimation, a volume model calculation method based on ore heap is proposed. Through the research on the mechanism of ore heap formation mechanism, the principle of integration in higher mathematics is used to reasonably divide the ore heap. Therefore, an accurate formula for calculating the volume of the ore heap is obtained, which provides accurate guidance for the later addition of ore.
