The invention discloses a multi-
source data-based mining equipment
positioning system and method. The
system is characterized in that a plurality of ultra-
wideband base stations are sequentially mounted in a crossheading roadway at intervals; the coding identifiers are mounted on supporting columns of the hydraulic supports in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and are positioned on one side close to the
coal mining
machine; the inertial sensing unit, the camera, the ultra
wide band positioning module and the controller are all mounted on the body of the
coal mining
machine; the
visual angle of the camera faces a supporting column of the hydraulic support. The ultra-
wideband positioning module is positioned on one side, close to a crossheading roadway, of a
coal mining
machine body and is connected with the ultra-
wideband base station; the controller is respectively connected with the inertial sensing unit, the camera and the ultra-wideband
base station. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out initial position calibration by using the ultra-wideband positioning module; predicting the position of the
coal mining machine based on inertial navigation; updating the prediction state of the inertial sensing unit based on the identification of the coding standard by the camera; and the positioning continuity is ensured by fusing the data of the inertial sensing unit and the camera. According to the
system and the method, real-time and accurate positioning operation of the
coal mining machine in the working process can be realized.
