[0045] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration embodiments that may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope. Therefore, the following detailed description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of embodiments is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0046] Alternate embodiments may be devised without departing from the spirit or the scope of the invention. Additionally, well-known elements of exemplary embodiments of the systems, apparatuses, and methods will not be described in detail or will be omitted so as not to obscure the relevant details of the systems, apparatuses, and methods.

[0047] Before the systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed and described, it is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. The terms “comprises,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. An element proceeded by “comprises . . . a” does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element. The terms “including” and/or “having,” as used herein, are defined as comprising (i.e., open language). The terms “a” or “an”, as used herein, are defined as one or more than one. The term “plurality,” as used herein, is defined as two or more than two. The term “another,” as used herein, is defined as at least a second or more. The description may use the terms “embodiment” or “embodiments,” which may each refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments.

The description may use perspective-based descriptions such as up/down, back/front, top/bottom, and proximal/distal. Such descriptions are merely used to facilitate the discussion and are not intended to restrict the application of disclosed embodiments. Various operations may be described as multiple discrete operations in tum, in a manner that may be helpful in understanding embodiments; however, the order of description should not be construed to imply that these operations are order dependent.

[0050] Herein various embodiments of the systems, apparatuses, and methods are described. In many of the different embodiments, features are similar. Therefore, to avoid redundancy, repetitive description of these similar features may not be made in some circumstances. It shall be understood, however, that description of a first-appearing feature applies to the later described similar feature and each respective description, therefore, is to be incorporated therein without such repetition.

[0051] Described now are exemplary embodiments.

Embodiment 1

[0052] Referring now to the figures of the drawings in detail and first, particularly to FIGS. 2 to 4, there is shown a first exemplary embodiment of an arrangement structure of a stacker and a reclaimer, comprising a stacker 1, a reclaimer 3, a stacker travelling track 5, a reclaimer travelling track, a material input conveyor 2, a material output conveyor 11, a material storage yard 10 and a closed material storage shed 9, wherein the reclaimer travelling track comprises an upper travelling track 4 of the reclaimer and a lower travelling track of the reclaimer. In the present embodiment, the upper travelling track 4 of the reclaimer and the stacker travelling track 5 are arranged on the same platform, i.e., the stacker travelling platform 6 and the upper travelling platform 7 of the reclaimer are the same platform; and the lower travelling track of the reclaimer and the material output conveyor 11 are arranged at a side edge of the material storage yard 10.

[0053] A left group and a right group of stacker travelling tracks 5 are arranged. The stackers 1 are arranged on the stacker travelling tracks 5. Each stacker 1 is correspondingly provided with a material input conveyor 2. The upper travelling track 4 of the reclaimer is arranged between the two stacker travelling tracks 5. The reclaimer 3 straddles the stacker 1 and the material input conveyor 2 on the same side. The stacker 1 and the material input conveyor 2 are located inside the reclaimer 3.

[0054] The main rack 8 of the reclaimer 3 straddles the stacker 1 and the material input conveyor 2. The main rack 8 comprises a vertical rack, an arch rack, and an inclined rack connected sequentially. The vertical rack is supported on the upper travelling track 4 of the reclaimer. The arch rack straddles above the stacker 1 and the material input conveyor 2. The inclined rack is supported on the lower travelling track of the reclaimer. The main rack 8 has an arch shape or an inverted U shape in other embodiments as long as the rack can straddle above the stacker 1 and the material input conveyor 2 and no interference is generated during stacking.

[0055] The closed material storage shed 9 is fully closed by a surface of a wall or closed by a wind-shield wall, a wind-shield plate, and a windproof net with an aperture ratio. The arrangement structure of the stacker and the reclaimer further comprises a power supply and lighting system, a dust suppression system, a fire fighting system, a ventilating system, a daylighting and heating system, and an auxiliary water supply and drainage system, which belongs to the prior art and will not be repeated herein.

[0056] According to different arrangement structures within the yard, only one group of stacker 1 and stacker travelling track 5 can also be arranged. Meanwhile, one group of reclaimer 3 and upper travelling track 4 of the reclaimer can be correspondingly arranged and the reclaimer 3 straddles above the stacker 1 and the stacker travelling track 5.

[0057] It can be seen from FIG. 5 that, under the same technological arrangement, the arrangement structure of the stacker and the reclaimer can be adopted to effectively avoid loss of a stock pile volume caused by avoiding the upper travelling platform of the reclaimer in an existing storage arrangement form, and can obviously increase a utilization rate of the internal space of the material storage yard.

Embodiment 2

[0058] FIG. 6 illustrates a second exemplary embodiment of an arrangement structure of a stacker and a reclaimer, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment above is that: the number of channels of stacking and reclaiming is increased; the stacker travelling tracks 5 are increased to three channels; the upper travelling track 4 of the reclaimer is located between two adjacent stacker travelling tracks 5; and two reclaimers 3 respectively straddle the stacker 1 and the stacker travelling tracks 5 on the same side.

Embodiment 3

[0059] FIG. 7 illustrates a third exemplary embodiment of an arrangement structure of a stacker and a reclaimer, the difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment of the arrangement structure of the stacker and the reclaimer is that: the upper travelling track 4 of the reclaimer and the stacker travelling track 5 are installed on platforms of different heights and the height of the upper travelling platform 7 of the reclaimer is higher than the height of the stacker travelling platform 6. This arrangement structure can also avoid cross-interference between the stacker 1 and the reclaimer 3 and can increase a utilization rate of the internal space of the material storage yard.

[0060] Any of those skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without deviating from spirits and categories of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by ordinary intellectuals in the technical field without departing from spirits and technical thoughts revealed in the present invention shall still be covered by claims of the present invention.

[0061] It is noted that various individual features of the inventive processes and systems may be described only in one exemplary embodiment herein. The particular choice for description herein with regard to a single exemplary embodiment is not to be taken as a limitation that the particular feature is only applicable to the embodiment in which it is described. All features described herein are equally applicable to, additive, or interchangeable with any or all of the other exemplary embodiments described herein and in any combination or grouping or arrangement. In particular, use of a single reference numeral herein to illustrate, define, or describe a particular feature does not mean that the feature cannot be associated or equated to another feature in another drawing figure or description. Further, where two or more reference numerals are used in the figures or in the drawings, this should not be construed as being limited to only those embodiments or features, they are equally applicable to similar features or not a reference numeral is used or another reference numeral is omitted.

[0062] The foregoing description and accompanying drawings illustrate the principles, exemplary embodiments, and modes of operation of the systems, apparatuses, and methods. However, the systems, apparatuses, and methods should not be construed as being limited to the particular embodiments discussed above. Additional variations of the embodiments discussed above will be appreciated by those skilled in the art and the above-described embodiments should be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. Accordingly, it should be appreciated that variations to those embodiments can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the systems, apparatuses, and methods as defined by the following claims.
