Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses a method based on the Internet of Things to prevent missed inspections and falsified gas inspections in underground coal mines, belonging to the technical field of intelligent management and control of coal mine safety risks. Background Technology

[0002] Coal mining operations are a high-risk field. In-depth analysis of the causes of coal mine accidents reveals that loopholes in safety management are a major reason why safety hazards cannot be eliminated in a timely manner. These hazards not only easily lead to the gradual deterioration of the underground production environment, but also, as the underground production environment deteriorates, eventually cause accidents, resulting in irreparable and significant loss of life and property. Therefore, during safety inspections of coal mining enterprises by relevant national departments, it has been repeatedly found that underground safety inspectors, due to intentional or negligent actions, have missed or perfunctory inspections, resulting in the failure to detect safety hazards. Furthermore, data falsification by gas inspectors is also a real issue: for example, instead of conducting actual gas concentration checks at designated locations, they arbitrarily fill out gas inspection records at other locations, causing serious distortion of gas concentration data and creating significant risks to safe production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention discloses a method based on the Internet of Things (IoT) to prevent missed inspections and falsified gas inspection data in underground coal mines. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to prevent irreparable safety accidents caused by omissions or falsified data by underground coal mine safety inspectors.

[0004] This invention provides a unique control method for safety inspections and gas inspections. It uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to integrate data from multiple underground information systems to enforce constraints on the location, time, and electronic record-keeping of safety inspections and gas inspections, thereby preventing omissions and data falsification by safety inspectors and gas inspectors.

[0005] The detailed technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for preventing missed inspections and falsified gas inspections in underground coal mines based on the Internet of Things, characterized in that:

[0007] The method includes the following modules: a coal mine Internet of Things network module, an intermediate service software module, a basic management program module, and a safety inspection / gas inspection APP module;

[0008] The coal mine Internet of Things network module is used for network communication between underground and above-ground areas, and also provides network communication to the intermediate service software module, basic management program module, and safety inspection / gas inspection APP module.

[0009] The intermediate service software module collects underground gas sensor data and underground worker location data at regular intervals through the coal mine Internet of Things network module;

[0010] The method also includes a personnel positioning system and a security monitoring system;

[0011] The personnel positioning system includes: a fiber optic switch and a personnel positioning substation. Underground workers use communication equipment terminals to connect to the fiber optic switch through the personnel positioning substation. The personnel positioning substation is used to collect signals from the communication equipment terminals of underground workers moving in a fixed area. Preferably, the communication equipment terminal is equipment loaded with the safety inspection / gas inspection APP module.

[0012] The security monitoring system includes: a fiber optic switch and a gas sensor. A monitoring substation is set between the fiber optic switch and the gas sensor. Multiple gas sensors are set in a fixed area, and the same monitoring substation monitors the gas sensors in the fixed area simultaneously.

[0013] The method includes:

[0014] 1) The basic management program module is used to feed back and bind personnel positioning substation data around the location to be monitored; when the basic management program module is applied in a specific field, it selects the location to be monitored that needs to be inspected underground, such as: node: A, location: South Wind Shaft; at the same time, it feeds back and binds the personnel positioning substation data closest to the location to be monitored, such as a personnel substation data of number 63, distance: 120m;

[0015] 2) Generate safety inspection tasks and push task information to underground workers within the signal radiation range of the personnel safety substation. The task information includes at least: location information of the location to be monitored and safety inspection items. The safety inspection items include the monitoring object, monitoring duration, whether the safety threshold is exceeded, and corresponding safety handling suggestions. After each safety inspection and gas inspection location is bound to the personnel positioning substation, a safety inspection task is defined. Each safety inspection task specifies the nodes that must be inspected and the inspection duration, for example: node A, duration 1 minute; node B, duration 1 minute.

[0016] 3) The underground worker carries the equipment loaded with the safety inspection / gas inspection APP module, arrives at the monitoring location according to the safety inspection task, and performs the monitoring operation according to the task information. The equipment automatically calculates the monitoring time based on the location of the underground worker and the personnel safety substation: if the monitoring time is less than the monitoring duration, it is determined that the safety inspection task has not been completed.

[0017] When the safety inspection task is completed, the equipment is used to fill in the safety inspection content and handling results.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: the basic management program module automatically identifying whether there are any omissions in the security check task submission or delayed verification security check task processing; if there are omissions, the basic management program module provides reminders and alarms.

[0019] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the basic management program module automatically generates safety inspection and gas inspection shift report data for each shift.

[0020] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step 3) further includes using the equipment to take photos or videos to electronically record the security situation or handling results at the monitoring location. After the security inspection information is filled out, photos or videos are taken using the APP for electronic recording. After the photos are generated, watermarks of the generator, time, and location are automatically generated to prevent photo and video forgery.

[0021] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step 2) involves escalating the task push based on whether the security check task was successfully pushed:

[0022] If the safety inspection task fails to be pushed or no underground workers are found in the personnel safety substation, the basic management program module will automatically push the safety inspection task to the underground workers active in the adjacent personnel safety substation until the push is successful.

[0023] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a threshold is preset for the radiation of a personnel safety substation to adjacent personnel safety substations. When the task pushed in step 2) exceeds the threshold, the basic management program module automatically pushes the safety inspection task to a higher-level safety management personnel. This is not limited to front-line safety personnel; the task can also be pushed to supervisory personnel. This solution not only ensures that front-line tasks are pushed to the right people, but also introduces a responsible person supervision mechanism to address weak links in supervision, ensuring the efficient implementation of underground safety work.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0025] This invention applies the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to safety and gas inspections in coal mines. By using IoT, information technology, and software to enforce regulations on safety and gas inspection activities, it ensures the uniqueness and authenticity of data, eliminates missed inspections and falsification of gas inspection results, reduces safety hazards in the underground working environment of coal mines, ensures coal mine production safety, prevents safety accidents, and avoids major personnel and property losses, thus demonstrating significant economic and social benefits.

[0026] 1. This invention makes full use of the existing industrial Internet of Things (IoT) system, safety monitoring system, personnel positioning system, and underground intelligent terminal system in coal mines. Without increasing major investment in construction, it uses IoT, information technology, and software technology to prevent missed inspections and falsification of gas data in underground mines.

[0027] 2. This invention uses personnel positioning data and real-time data from gas sensors to conduct deterministic checks on safety inspections and gas detection activities, plugging loopholes in safety inspection management and ensuring the authenticity and timeliness of safety inspections and gas detection.

[0028] 3. The electronic record-keeping scheme of this invention preserves the authenticity of security checks and tile inspections, and ensures the traceability of historical data. Furthermore, this invention utilizes watermarks of personnel names, locations, and timestamps in photos and videos to guarantee the uniqueness and authenticity of image data, preventing data falsification.

[0029] 4. The method described in this invention not only ensures that frontline tasks are pushed to the right people, but also introduces a responsible person supervision mechanism to address weak links in supervision, thus ensuring the efficient implementation of underground safety work.
