Description

Technical Field

[0002] Hard rock mining is a critical component of mining engineering and is widely used in coal, metal, and building stone mining. With the increasing depletion of mineral resources and the continuous increase in mining depth, hard rock mining technology faces higher safety, efficiency, and environmental protection requirements. Traditional hard rock mining methods mainly include explosive blasting and non-explosive mechanical mining. Explosive blasting is highly efficient, adaptable, and relatively low-cost, capable of rapidly breaking up large rocks. However, it also has disadvantages such as threats to operators and equipment during blasting, large amounts of dust, noise, vibration, and damage to the surrounding ecological environment.

[0003] While non-explosive mechanical mining methods offer advantages over explosive blasting in terms of safety and environmental friendliness, they still have significant drawbacks. Compared to explosive blasting, mechanical mining offers lower crushing efficiency and slower mining speeds. Mechanical equipment struggles to adapt to varying rock hardness, resulting in unstable mining efficiency. Furthermore, continuous mechanical operation consumes significant energy, and the high-intensity wear and tear of mechanical equipment leads to high maintenance and replacement costs.

[0004] In view of this, it is particularly important to develop a method and equipment for hard rock non-explosive continuous mining operations that can enhance mining efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and reduce equipment wear. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following describes in detail specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments provided herein are intended only to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also have other embodiments and variations thereof. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] In Example 1, the non-explosive continuous mining method for hard rock is as follows:

[0038] A hard rock non-explosive continuous mining method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0039] S101, sensor deployment;

[0040] A vibration sensor is installed in the pick drum 51 of the cutting section 5, a torque sensor is installed on the rotating shaft 52 that drives the pick drum 51, speed sensors are installed on the input shaft 61 of the transfer case 6 and the cutting section output shaft 62 of the transfer case 6, and a temperature sensor is installed on the housing of the torque converter 8. The vibration sensor, torque sensor, first speed sensor, second speed sensor, and temperature sensor respectively collect time series data of the vibration variable V1, torque variable V2, speed variable V3, speed variable V4, and temperature variable V5 at their respective set frequencies and transmit the data to the control center.

[0041] S102, data processing;

[0042] After receiving the time series data, the control center performs feature extraction based on wavelet packet singular value decomposition and feature data dimensionality reduction based on the Relief algorithm on the time series data of vibration variable V1, torque variable V2, speed variable V3, speed variable V4, and temperature variable V5;

[0043] The feature extraction based on wavelet packet singular value decomposition includes using a wavelet packet algorithm to decompose the time series data layer by layer, decomposing the time series data into n nodes according to a preset number of decomposition layers, and obtaining the wavelet packet coefficient of each node; reconstructing the n nodes to obtain the reconstructed time series data of each node, and combining the reconstructed time series data of the n nodes to obtain a time-frequency matrix;

[0044] The dimensionality reduction of characteristic data based on the Relief algorithm includes performing singular value decomposition on the time-frequency matrix, using the Relief algorithm to measure the classification ability of each order singular value through the correlation statistics corresponding to each order singular value, selecting the first k order singular values ​​of the correlation statistics from large to small, and using the k order singular values ​​as the characteristic vectors of the time series data; taking the time-frequency matrix of the vibration variable V1 as an example, given m samples for determining the hardness grade of the rock formation, recorded as {(x1,y1),(x2,y2),…,(x i,y i ),…,(x m ,y m )}, where y i is the corresponding sample x i The rock hardness grade, for each sample x i , and its r-order singular value is recorded as Find the sample with the same hardness grade as the sample rock layer and the closest distance as the negative neighbor x i,- , find the sample with different rock hardness grade and closest distance as the positive neighbor x i,+ , the correlation statistic is δ, and the correlation statistic component δ of its j-order singular value j for,

[0045]

[0046] Where, - Sample x i and x i,+ The distance on the j-th order singular value, - Sample x i and x i,- The distance on the j-th order singular value; if the sample x i Its positive neighbor x i,+ The distance on the j-th order singular value is greater than the sample x i and its negative neighbor x i,- The distance on the j-order singular value indicates that the j-order singular value is beneficial to distinguish different hardness grades of rock formations. The relevant statistical component δ of the j-order singular value j It will increase as the distance difference increases, and the j-order singular value has a stronger ability to distinguish different hardness grades of rock formations;

[0047] Then, high-order feature cross terms are generated based on the eigenvector of vibration variable V1, the eigenvector of torque variable V2, the eigenvector of speed variable V3, the eigenvector of speed variable V4, and the eigenvector of temperature variable V5. The high-order feature cross terms are used as the eigenvectors of new variable V6 to further enhance the model's ability to capture complex feature relationships. The high-order feature cross terms are obtained by weighted summation of the eigenvector of any variable and the eigenvector of another variable.

[0048]

[0049] Where, - high-order feature interactions, - the eigenvector of any variable, - eigenvector of another variable, t-weight;

[0050] The hardness grade is classified into fifteen grades, namely, I, II, III, IIIa, IV, IVa, V, Va, VI, VIa, VII, VIIa, VIII, IX, and X, based on the Proctor coefficient. Only the intelligent continuous mining in the relatively hard rock formations of grades II to Va is considered. Through field tests, the time series data of the vibration variable V1 of the pick drum 51, the time series data of the torque variable V2 of the pick drum shaft 52, the time series data of the speed variable V3 of the input shaft 61 of the transfer case 6, the time series data of the speed variable V4 of the output shaft 62 of the cutting part of the transfer case 6, and the time series data of the torque converter 8 under different hardness grades of grades II to Va are obtained. The time series data of the temperature variable V5 of the housing, the power of the engine 9, the gear position of the gearbox 7, the downward force of the main arm 4, the mining speed, the energy consumption and the equipment vibration data are obtained by the vibration sensor installed in the cab of the vehicle frame 2. The Pearson correlation coefficients of the vibration data of the pick drum 51, the torque data of the pick drum shaft 52, the speed data of the input shaft 61 of the transfer case 6, the speed data of the cutting part output shaft 62 of the transfer case 6, the temperature data of the torque converter 8 housing and the hardness grade are calculated and recorded as ρ1, ρ2, ρ3, ρ4 and ρ5 respectively. The importance ratio of the time series data of each variable to the hardness identification result is:

[0051]

[0052] Where, I i - the i-th variable V i The importance of the time series data to the hardness recognition result; further determine the weight t according to the importance,

[0053]

[0054] Where, I b -The importance of the time series data of any variable to the hardness identification results, I c - the importance of time series data of another variable on the hardness identification results;

[0055] The eigenvector of the vibration variable V1, the eigenvector of the torque variable V2, the eigenvector of the speed variable V3, the eigenvector of the speed variable V4, the eigenvector of the temperature variable V5 and the eigenvector of the new variable V6 are standardized and used as the overall input parameter X=[f′ i,j ], input into the improved XGBoost model, and then perform rock hardness identification based on the improved XGBoost model; the standardization process adopts Z-score standardization,

[0057] Where f′ i,j -jth variable V jThe i-th value in the eigenvector of j -jth variable V j The mean of the eigenvector, σ j -jth variable V j The standard deviation of the eigenvectors;

[0058] The rock formation hardness identification based on improved XGBoost includes using the Bayesian optimization algorithm combined with the Gaussian process proxy model to optimize the key hyperparameters of XGBoost. XGBoost has multiple hyperparameters, and common key hyperparameters include the learning rate η, the number of trees n, and the number of trees. es , maximum depth d max , minimum subsample weight and cw min , column sampling ratio cs b , regularization parameters λ, α, define the hyperparameter space according to the maximum and minimum values ​​of each key hyperparameter,

[0059] Θ={η∈(0.01,0.3),n es ∈[100,1000],d max ∈[3,10],...} (6)

[0060] Select several initial hyperparameter combinations {θ1,θ2,…,θ m} and train the XGBoost model, record the cross-validation score g(θ i ), using the current hyperparameter combination and its corresponding score g(θ i ) Construct a Gaussian process agent model and select the next hyperparameter combination θ by optimizing the EI acquisition function m+1 ,In the framework of Gaussian process agent model, EI can be specifically expressed as,

[0061] EI(θ)=(μ(θ)-g(θ + ))Φ(Z)+σ(θ)φ(Z) (7)

[0062]

[0063] Where μ(θ) is the predicted mean of the Gaussian process at θ, σ(θ) is the predicted standard deviation of the Gaussian process at θ, and g(θ + )-the best cross-validation score currently observed, Φ(Z)-the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution, φ(Z)-the probability density function of the standard normal distribution; select the hyperparameter combination θ that maximizes EI m+1 ,

[0064]

[0065] In θ m+1The model is trained, the cross-validation score is recorded, the Gaussian process proxy model is updated, and the above process is repeated until the approximately optimal hyperparameter combination θ is found. * ;

[0066] Then, based on the approximate optimal parameters found by Bayesian optimization, a grid search is performed to fine-tune the key hyperparameters. Based on the results of Bayesian optimization, the fine-tuning range of each hyperparameter is set to obtain the fine-tuned hyperparameter space Θ fine , set the step size of each hyperparameter according to the requirements, evaluate each hyperparameter combination within the fine-tuning range, and select the hyperparameter combination θ that gives the best cross-validation score fine ;

[0067]

[0068] Use the hyperparameter combination θ fine-tuned by Bayesian optimization and grid search fine , train the XGBoost model,

[0069] F(X) = XGBoost(X; θ fine ) (11)

[0070] Where, F(X) is the prediction score function. The softmax function is applied to the prediction score to obtain the probability distribution of each hardness level. The hardness level with the highest probability is selected as the hardness identification result of the rock formation.

[0071] S103, automatic adjustment of working parameters;

[0072] The parameter adjustment decision module built into the control center automatically adjusts the power of the engine 8, the gear position of the gearbox 7, and the downward force of the main arm 4 to the best match for the current rock formation hardness grade based on the hardness identification result. Through field tests, the power of the engine 8, the gear position of the gearbox 7, the downward force of the main arm 4, the mining speed, energy consumption, and equipment vibration data at different hardness grades from II to Va are obtained. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to find the best matching parameter combination for optimizing performance indicators under specific hardness grade conditions. Under the same hardness grade conditions, the power of the engine 8, the gear position of the gearbox 7, and the downward force of the main arm 4 corresponding to fast mining speed, low energy consumption, and small equipment vibration are used as the best matching evaluation criteria. The established objective function is:

[0073] obj=β(1-S)+γE+ξA (12)

[0074] Where obj is the objective function. The smaller the value, the better the matching of the parameter combination. β, γ, and ξ are weight coefficients, reflecting the importance of each indicator. The sum of the three is 1. In this embodiment, β = 0.5, γ = 0.3, and ξ = 0.2 are taken in the order of importance of mining speed, energy consumption, and equipment vibration, respectively.

[0075] S104, self-learning;

[0076] Record the time series data and hardness recognition results collected each time. When the hardness recognition result does not match the actual situation and causes mining to stagnate, the judgment method of mining stagnation is that the output power of engine 9 remains basically unchanged, the oil temperature of torque converter 8 rises abnormally, and causes the temperature of the outer shell of torque converter 8 to rise sharply, and the output shaft speed sensor value of the cutting part of transfer case 6 decreases rapidly or even decreases to 0. Then manually adjust the power of engine 8, the gear position of gearbox 7 and the downforce of main arm 4. After adjustment, when mining continues, record the adjusted power of engine 8, gear position of gearbox 7 and downforce of main arm 4. According to the adjusted power of engine 8, gear position of gearbox 7 and downforce of main arm 4, evaluate the correct hardness recognition result, and then use sliding window technology to regularly introduce new data and eliminate old data to fine-tune and improve the XGBoost model.

Then, based on the hardness identification results, instructions are sent to adjust the power of the engine 9, the gear position of the gearbox 7, and the downforce of the main arm 4.

S103, automatic adjustment of working parameters; The automatic adjustment of working parameters includes an improved XGBoost model trained and deployed locally on the intelligent equipment for hard rock non-explosive continuous mining. The parameter adjustment decision module built into the control center automatically adjusts the engine power, transmission gear, and main arm downforce to the most suitable level for the current rock hardness based on the hardness identification results. S104, self-learning; The self-learning includes recording the time series data and hardness recognition results collected each time. When the hardness recognition result does not match the actual situation and causes mining to stagnate, the engine power, transmission gear and main arm downforce are manually adjusted. When mining continues after the adjustment, the adjusted engine power, transmission gear and main arm downforce are recorded. Based on the adjusted engine power, transmission gear and main arm downforce, the correct hardness recognition result is evaluated, and then the sliding window technology is used to regularly introduce new data and eliminate old data to fine-tune and improve the XGBoost model.
