  • Publication number: 20220209973
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a power supply method having power management mechanism that includes the steps outlined below. Power request information of power requesting devices is retrieved to generate a to-be-powered device list and a requested power. Whether a current requesting device satisfy a power stable criteria and a power sufficient criteria is determined, The power stable criteria is satisfied when the power requesting devices each having a priority higher than that of the current requesting device all operate in a powered mode or when the power requesting devices that operate in the powered mode enter a stable operation status. The power sufficient criteria is satisfied when a stable system remained power of a power supply system is not smaller than an individual requested power of the current requesting device. When the criteria are satisfied, the current requesting device is operated in the powered mode to update the requested power.

  • Patent number: 11287356
    Abstract: A variable angle loading testing machine is provided, which may include a bottom plate and a base fixedly connected to the bottom plate. A rock-sample accommodating cavity is formed in the base, and a rectangle-shaped sample is suitable for being placed into the rock-sample accommodating cavity. A side of the base is fixedly connected to two arc-shaped tension beams arranged in parallel, and a variable angle loading mechanism is slidably connected between the two arc-shaped tension beams. Through-holes are formed on the base, and an output end of the variable angle loading mechanism abuts against the rectangle-shaped sample through one of the through-holes. Loading and unloading of a stress with variable direction and magnitude under excavation disturbance can be simulated, which is of great significance for understanding mechanical behaviors of rock-soil mass under excavation disturbance.

  • Publication number: 20210372847
    Abstract: A method and a system measure interfering influences on a checkweighing device. In the method, external interference data are obtained, as are interference data from the checkweighing device itself and interference data from an object being weighed, by calculating or mapping the weighing error data in the stationary state, in the operating state, and in the weighing state. The system for measuring the interference uses a meter and a processing apparatus. The meter and the processing apparatus perform an interference measurement and a compensation method. The amount of interference in the checkweighing device in each state and the amount of influence of the interference on the weighing performance is obtained, thereby facilitating the production, debugging, maintenance, and use of a checkweighing device.
