GRAPHICAL DISPLAY OF A MOVING MINING MACHINE

摘要

This disclosure concerns a graphical display (400) of operational data of a moving mining machine (140). A processor (114) receives terrain information (300) and operational data (500) of the mining machine (140). The operational data (500) is based on the response of the mining machine (140) to terrain variations at the respective geographical locations. The processor (114) generates a display comprising a terrain image (402) and a graphical trail (406) representing the travel path on the terrain image (402) based on the operational data. The appearance of the trail (406) is variable along the trail and based on variations in the operational data. The trail (406) in the display (400) is aligned with the terrain image (402) and a user of the display can visually correlate a change in operational data with a geographical location in the terrain.

主权项

1. A method for generating a graphical display of operational data of a mining machine, the method comprising:
receiving or accessing terrain information for multiple geographical locations; receiving or accessing operational data of the mining machine associated with one or more geographical locations of the terrain information and on a travel path of the mining machine over time, wherein the operational data is based on the response of the mining machine to terrain variations at the respective geographical locations; and generating a display, the display comprising:
a terrain image based on the terrain information for the multiple geographical locations; anda graphical trail representing the travel path on the terrain image based on the operational data associated with the one or more geographical locations, wherein the appearance of the trail is variable along the trail and based on variations in the operational data.
