[0001] The present application relates to the field of coal mine safety management, specifically, a coal mine risk early warning system based on big data analysis. BACKGROUND

[0002] The production process of coal mine involves complex underground environment and various safety risk factors, including but not limited to gas leakage, fire, equipment failure, and sudden changes in environmental conditions. Traditional coal mine safety monitoring methods often rely on manual inspection and single sensor monitoring, resulting in slow response, incomplete monitoring data coverage, and poor accuracy of early warning systems.

[0003] With the increasing complexity of coal mine operating environment, the safety management of coal mines is facing more and more challenges, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0004] 1. Complex and variable environmental conditions: The underground working environment of coal mines is extremely complex and contains many potential safety hazards, such as gas, dust, temperature, humidity, equipment failure, etc. A single sensor can only monitor a part of the environmental factors, and cannot fully grasp the overall safety status of the mine.

[0005] 2. High real-time requirements: Coal mine accidents often occur very quickly, and various risk factors are intertwined. Traditional safety monitoring methods are difficult to provide sufficient real-time data and dynamic response. For example, gas leakage, fire, and other accidents occur extremely quickly, and if they cannot be discovered and warned in the first time, the consequences may be extremely serious.

[0006] 3. Large and complex data volume: With the expansion of coal mine production scale, the data volume of the monitoring system shows explosive growth.

[0067] Where the methane concentration C m ranges from 0-5%, the temperature T ranges from -10℃ to +40℃, the humidity H ranges from 20%-90%, and the equipment status includes running and failure.

[0068] 1. Sensor configuration:

[0070] Temperature sensors: Equipped with 5 temperature sensors, with an operating temperature range of -10℃ to +40℃, a sensitivity of 0.5℃, and an accuracy of ±0.2℃.

[0071] Humidity sensor: Equipped with 5 humidity sensors, with an operating range of 20%-90%RH, a sensitivity of 1%RH, and an accuracy of ±2%RH.

[0072] Equipment status monitoring: Three status sensors are used to monitor the operation of the equipment (normal / faulty).

[0074] Utilizing cloud storage technology, it supports data storage of at least 10TB. The system can store approximately 100,000 data records per day and retain at least 5 years of historical data.

[0075] 3. Data Processing Module:

[0076] The risk identification model is trained using a support vector machine (SVM), with at least 2,000 historical data records as training samples.

[0077] The risk score calculation formula is: R = 0.4·C m +0.3·T+0.2·H+0.1·S

[0078] Among them, C m T is the methane concentration, H is the temperature (°C), S is the humidity (%), and S is the equipment status (1 for normal and 0 for fault).

[0079] 4. Risk Assessment Module:

[0080] The risk levels are classified as follows:

[0081] 5. Early warning module:

[0082] When the risk level L reaches medium or high, the audible and visual alarm device will sound an alarm, and at the same time, the warning information will be notified to three designated staff members via a mobile application.

[0083] The formula for generating the warning signal is:

[0084] 6. Operation Process

[0085] Data Collection: During the operation of the coal mine, each sensor monitors and collects data in real time. The data collection module transmits the monitored data to the data storage module every second.

[0086] Data Analysis: The data storage module stores the received data in chronological order. The data processing module periodically calls the stored data for analysis and processing, calculating the risk score R.

[0087] Risk Assessment: The data processing module calculates the risk score based on the preset formula and historical data, and transmits the score result to the risk assessment module to assess the current risk level L.

[0088] Early Warning Notification: When the risk level L is medium or high, the warning module will automatically issue an audible and visual alarm, and notify relevant personnel through the mobile application to ensure that they can take prompt measures.

[0089] Specifically, (1) Data Collection: Sensors monitor data in real time within the coal mine. At a certain time, the methane concentration C m measured is 1.2%, the temperature T is 25°C, and the humidity H is 45%. The sensor updates every second and sends the data to the cloud storage module.

[0090] Data Storage: The data storage module receives sensor data and stores it in timestamp format. The two received records are: C m = 1.2%, T = 25°C, H = 45%; C m = 1.3%, T = 25.5°C, H = 44%.

[0091] The system accumulates a large amount of data every day for subsequent analysis.

[0092] (2) Data Analysis: The data processing module periodically analyzes historical data and calculates the risk score. R = 0.4 * 1.2 + 0.3 * 25 + 0.2 * 45 + 0.1 * 1 = 0.48 + 7.5 + 9 + 0.1 = 17.08

[0093] According to the risk score, the current risk level is determined: R = 17.08 R = 17.08 corresponds to the risk level L = low.

[0094] (3) Risk Assessment:

[0095] Over time, assume that the next time the measurement data is updated to C m = 2.5%, T = 30°C, H = 50%. R = 0.4 * 2.5 + 0.3 * 30 + 0.2 * 50 + 0.1 * 1 = 1 + 9 + 10 + 0.1 = 20.1

[0096] At this time, the risk level is still low, and the system continues to monitor.

[0097] (4) Early warning notification:

[0098] At a certain moment, the methane concentration sharply rises to 4.5% (C m = 4.5%, T = 32°C, H = 55%): R = 0.4*4.5 + 0.3*32 + 0.2*55 + 0.1*1 = 1.8 + 9.6 + 11 + 0.1 = 22.5

[0099] After continuous monitoring, if C m reaches 5.0% (i.e. R exceeds 30), the calculation is: R = 0.4*5.0 + 0.3*32 + 0.2*55 + 0.1*0 = 2 + 9.6 + 11 + 0 = 22.6

[0100] When R reaches 70 or above (e.g. C m = 5.2%), an early warning is triggered, notifying the staff.

[0101] Response measures: The early warning module immediately issues an audible and visual alarm, and sends notifications to 3 staff members through a mobile application, ensuring they promptly take necessary safety measures such as evacuating the site or initiating emergency response.

[0102] This embodiment details the working process of the coal mine risk early warning system by introducing specific parameters, effectively monitoring changes in the coal mine environment and issuing timely warnings to maximize safety in coal mine operations and reduce the risk of accidents. The real-time and intelligent analysis capabilities of the system make it a significant advantage in safety management in practical applications.

[0103] This example partially describes the system's architecture, operation process, and advantages, ensuring a full understanding and description of the invention. Specific technical details and parameters can be adjusted and supplemented according to actual applications.

[0104] Although the invention has been shown and described with reference to specific embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that numerous changes in form and detail can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the scope of protection of the invention is determined by the claims, and includes all changes falling within the meaning or equivalent range of the claims.
