A METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE TRANSPORT SPEED OF A TRANSPORT AND GATHERINGPATH

摘要

The invention relates to a process for controlling the conveying speed of a transporting and gathering unit, in which piles (110) of gathered material are moved from an inlet (150) to an outlet of the gathering track by at least one conveyor (100). Gathered material units can optionally be added to the piles of gathered material on one or a plurality of adding stations. At least one size for each pile (110) of gathered material is determined at the inlet of the gathering track, the size of each pile of gathered material on each adding station is increased by a value in each case which corresponds to the added gathered material unit when a gathered material unit is added to the pile of gathered material, the size of each pile of gathered material is compared to a respective ideal value associated with the conveyor; and depending on the result of the comparison, the conveying speed is controlled.
