Abstract:
In order to solve the problems that roadheader positioning method based on total station could not locate because light path could be blocked due to excessive dust in coal mine underground and cumulative error of the method based on strapdown inertial navigation system(SINS) increased gradually with time, a roadheader positioning method combining total station and SINS was proposed. Firstly, total station is used to measure position parameters of roadheader, and SINS is used to measure and calculate position and posture parameters. Then, longitude and latitude of roadheader position measured by SINS are converted into coordinate values under Xi'an 80 coordinate system, so as to realize unification with total station measurement coordinate system. Finally, Kalman filtering method is used to fuse measured data of total station and SINS, so as to obtain position and attitude data of roadheader. The experimental results show that the method has high poisoning precision: in x direction, the maximum positioning error is 0.029 1 m, the minimum error is 0.010 0 m, and the average error is 0.019 93 m; in y direction, the maximum positioning error is 0.029 5 m, the minimum error is 0.011 0 m, and the average error is 0.018 26 m.

Abstract:
Working environment in underground coal mine is harsh, and gas drainage pipelines are vulnerable to collision, coal falling and other injuries, resulting in gas leakage. When a large amount of air in tunnel enters pipe network system, the concentration of gas drainage in pipe network may be much lower than the concentration at the drilling hole. For the above problems, a self-renewing leakage detection technology of coal mine gas drainage pipe network system based on multi-Gaussian beam model was proposed. Multi-Gaussian beam model is adopted to strengthen the processing of the sound of the leakage points, main leakage types and noise sources of underground gas drainage pipe network system are analyzed, and leakage model and noise model are established.The collected sound samples are compared with pre-stored models to determine whether there is gas leakage, and the sound samples that occur more than 30% in the use environmen are automatically stored as gas leakage models to realize automatic model update and improve leakage detection accuracy. YJL40 leakage detector is developed based on self-renewing leakage detection technology, its main components include probe, metal hose, host and alarm. Self-renewing leakage detection technology and corresponding products are applied in high and low negative pressure drainage system in Gaojiazhuang Coal Mine for leakage detection of totals 7 585 m of pipelines, after the detected leakage points are effectively sealed, the gas volume fraction in drainage terminal is increased by 37.1% and 28% respectively, verifying the effectiveness of the self-renewing leakage detection technology.

2020, 46(9): 38-43. doi: 10.13272/j.issn.1671-251x.2020020027
Abstract:
Taking +450 m level B1+2 coal seam working face in the southern area of Wudong Coal Mine as an example, the law of natural wind pressure change is analyzed, combined with the field measured data of air volume changes in the air intake roadway, the actual impact of natural wind pressure on the working face is qualitatively explained. Air leakage amount and distribution are indirectly estimated by calculating projected area of wind speed, and the air leakage phenomenon in the goaf behind the working face caused by change of natural wind pressure is quantitatively studied combined with field measurement and curve fitting methods. Research result shows that the change of natural wind pressure in the southern area of Wudong Coal Mine has significant impact on branches in the ventilation system and the main ventilator operating points of the mine; the change of natural wind pressure is the main controlling factors that affects the change of air volume in the air intake roadway of B1+2 working face; In winter, due to the high natural wind pressure, the air volume in the air intake roadway becomes larger, the air amount leaking into the goaf is more than that in summer, the air flow velocity in the goaf is faster, and the flow field distribution range in the goaf is wider.

2020, 46(9): 44-50. doi: 10.13272/j.issn.1671-251x.2020060003
Abstract:
Current research on mine pressure law of working face mainly focus on mine pressure law and roof structure of large mining height working face with shallow burial depth, but there's few researches on behaviors law and control technology of strong mine pressure of fully mechanized top coal caving mining face with shallow burial depth. For the above problem, taking 42202 working face of a coal mine as research background, behaviors law of strong mine pressure of working face was researched using actual measurement method combining support monitoring and micro-seismic monitoring of working face: the first weighting interval of 42202 working face is 60 m, and periodic weighting interval is 18-26 m. When pressure is weighting, dynamic load coefficient of the support is as high as 1.58, depth of rib spalling is up to 1 100 mm, and shrinkage of the support is 50-80 mm. The strong mime pressure causes working face to crush support. When pressure is applied, the pressure in the middle part is large, while pressure on both sides are small, indicating that mine pressure appears more violently when working face pressure comes; Micro-seismic events are mainly concentrated in the advance position of the working face and auxiliary transportation roadway, and the change trend of daily cumulative energy and daily frequency is basically the same. The mechanism of strong mine pressure of fully mechanized top coal caving mining face with shallow burial depth was analyzed, it is pointed out that the main reason of the strong mine pressure on working face is joint instability effect between "voussoir beam" structure formed by upper key strata and "cantilever beam" structure formed by lower key strata. In view of the problem of strong mine pressure, weakening measure of roof caused by hydraulic fracturing was proposed. After adopting hydraulic fracturing measure, the maximum working resistance of support decreases from 59.1 MPa to 50.1 MPa, reducing by about 15%.The maximum stress of deep hole decreased by 15%, and the maximum stress of shallow hole decreased by 32%, indicating that hydraulic fracturing had a significant effect on roof weakening and roadway surrounding rock stress weakening.

Abstract:
In view of problems that existing obstacle avoidance methods of underground mobile robot cannot accurately detect obstacle position information when facing complex obstacles and is inability to perform accurate obstacle avoidance control for the underground nonlinear obstacles, an intelligent visual obstacle avoidance method of underground mobile robot based on fuzzy control was proposed. First, binocular stereo vision module is used as obstacle detection sensor to perceive underground environment information, detect distribution of obstacles in real time, and construct occupation grid map. Then, the octree structure model is used to construct three-dimensional point cloud, and the tree structure is used to describe point cloud data structurally, which is mapped to the occupation grid map to obtain regional distribution of obstacles. Finally, a fuzzy control strategy is used to process distribution of obstacles detected in real time in the occupation grid map, and distribution of obstacles in the occupation grid map at the current moment and the running speed of the mobile robot are used as input variables of the fuzzy controller. The fuzzy control algorithm is used to calculate steering angle and acceleration of the mobile robot at the next moment, so as to realize intelligent obstacle avoidance control of the underground mobile robot. According to actual space occupied by the mobile robot, an external bounding box is designed to further stabilize control algorithm, and the obstacle avoidance strategy is combined to perform intelligent obstacle avoidance to avoid collision between mobile robot and obstacle. The experimental results show that the method can accurately describe distribution of underground obstacles, and enable the mobile robot to avoid obstacles accurately and autonomously according to the designed fuzzy control rules, so as to realize adaptive movement.

Abstract:
At present, the automatic sorting system of gangue mostly adopts series mechanical arm, which can only sort out the gangue with small particle size.The separation speed is slow and the separation effect is not ideal. In view of this problem, a kind of dual-arm parallel coal gangue sorting robot was designed. The robot adopts the sorting mode of pushing rather than grasping, which can sort the gangue with the particle size of 300-600 mm, and greatly reduce the torque demand of the manipulator and improve the sorting speed. In order to avoid rigid impact caused by frequent start-up and stop and prolong the service life of the motor, parabola interpolation function, cubic polynomial interpolation function and quintic polynomial interpolation function are respectively used for trajectory planning in joint space. Simulation and comparative analysis results show that the angular acceleration curve transition is smooth when using quintic polynomial interpolation function for trajectory planning, the angle and angular velocity constraints of the starting and ending points of the robot trajectory are satisfied, and the angular acceleration constraint is also satisfied, so that the motion trajectory of the sorting robot is more stable. The experimental results show that for the coal gangue with particle size of 300-600 mm,the recognition rate and sorting rate of dual-arm parallel coal gangue sorting robot are 91.14% and 86.29% respectively, with high sorting accuracy and stability; it only takes 1.2 s to complete a single complete sorting operation, which greatly shortens the sorting cycle compared with manual sorting; through joint space trajectory planning, the rigid impact of the motor in the sorting process is reduced, which can ensure the system stable work for a long time.

Abstract:
In view of problem that positioning accuracy of positioning methods based on time ranging, namely arrival time, one-way ranging, two-way ranging and symmetrical double-sided two-way ranging (SDS-TWR) is disturbed by timing error factors such as clock asynchronization between nodes, timer frequency offset and equipment delay, an underground target positioning method based on differential error suppression optimization method was proposed. Combining with SDS-TWR positioning method, the method uses characteristics of target node as both transmitting node and receiving node to solve relationship between transmission time and length simultaneously. Irrelevant variables such as timer frequency offset and equipment delay are eliminated through matrix form and coordinates of unknown target node are only related to the measured time, so as to effectively eliminate influence of timing error on the positioning result of the target node, and achieve purpose of precise positioning. The simulation results show that compared with the one-way ranging and two-way ranging methods, the differential error suppression optimization method can effectively suppress influence of equipment delay and timer frequency offset on the positioning method based on time ranging, and can accurately locate the unknown node with high positioning accuracy, the range of ranging error is only [-0.036 9 m, 0.037 7 m], which is 0.012% of one-way ranging error and 0.061% of two-way ranging error.

Abstract:
At present, coal mine local ventilator system mainly adopts conventional PID control algorithm to carry out frequency-conversion speed-regulation,but the conventional PID control parameter adjustment mainly relies on artificial experience, adjustment time is long, real time is poor, and easy to occur over-regulating and oscillating output of the control quantity. To solve the above problems, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) optimized PID control algorithm was proposed and applied to the speed control of coal mine local ventilator. PSO algorithm is added to the speed control system of coal mine local ventilator based on the conventional PID control algorithm to realize PID control parameter optimization. The conventional PID control part directly runs in accordance with the optimal parameter setting obtained by Z-N tuning method; PSO optimized PID control part randomly generated a set of three-dimensional particles through the algorithm program of S function, and calls the function assignin to assign three-dimensional particles values to Kp,Ki,Kd parameters of speed control system simulation model, taking control system error indicator ITAE as fitness function for iterative optimization, unity of PSO optimization and PID parameter setting optimization is realized.The simulation results show that compared with the conventional PID control, after PSO algorithm optimization, the output performance of local ventilator speed control are improved significantly, especially the overshoot and the regulation time index, and the overshoot is only 20% of the conventional PID control algorithm.

Abstract:

2020, 46(9): 104-108. doi: 10.13272/j.issn.1671-251x.17578
Abstract:
In terms of coal spontaneous combustion degree prediction, the radial basis function (RBF) neural network method is complex in structure and easy to fall into local optimum, the kernel function based on support vector machine (SVM) is sensitive to parameters due to Mercer condition, the traditional machine learning method has a large error. For the above problems, a coal spontaneous combustion prediction method based on relevance vector machine (RVM) is proposed. Taking Tingnan Coal Mine which is prone to spontaneous combustion as an example, the temperature rising process of coal sample spontaneous combustion is simulated, and the data of gas concentration and coal spontaneous combustion temperature are collected to establish training samples and test samples. The RVM model is constructed from the training samples, and the optimal parameters of the model are obtained. The test samples are substituted into the trained RVM model to predict coal spontaneous combustion temperature. Compared with coal spontaneous combustion prediction methods based on RBF neural network and SVM, the results show that the coal spontaneous combustion prediction methods based on RBF neural network and SVM have small training error but large test error, which indicates that the two methods have over fitting phenomenon and poor generalization ability. The training error and test error of the coal spontaneous combustion prediction method based on RVM are close and prediction accuracy is the highest.

Abstract:
The electricity consumption of mine multi-level relay drainage system is very large, in order to improve economy of drainage system operation, it is necessary to optimize drainage system control, but current optimal control methods of mine multi-level relay drainage system have some problems such as easy overflow of sump and frequent start and stop of water pump. For the above problems, an optimal control strategy of mine multi-level relay drainage system was proposed. The optimal control model of mine multi-level relay drainage system was established which took water level of each level sump must be between the lowest and highest level and displacement of each level sump should not be less than inflow as constraint conditions, and the lowest sum of electricity costs of each level within one drainage period as objective function. By introducing margin into flow constraint condition, frequent start and stop of water pump is avoided. Gray model is used to predict water inflow, so as to obtain accurate water level of sump and avoid overflow accident. The application results show that the optimal control strategy can reduce electricity cost of drainage system under premise of ensuring safety of drainage.
