Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mining technology, and in particular to a method, system and equipment for real-time detection of ore grade distribution. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the conventional method for analyzing ore grade mainly involves sending ore powder to a laboratory for testing after blasting operations. This process is not only time-consuming but also cumbersome. Although the technologies for ore sampling and sample preparation are quite mature, the processes are relatively fragmented and cannot yet be automated. Under these circumstances, it is impossible to obtain the precise distribution of ore grade in the formation in a timely manner, thus affecting the efficiency and quality of mining operations.
[0003] With the continuous development of intelligent technology, how to apply it to the field of real-time detection technology of mineral grade distribution has become a major research topic. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, system, and equipment for real-time detection of mineral grade distribution, so as to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] Firstly, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a method for real-time detection of mineral grade distribution, comprising:
[0006] Step 1: Based on the operation map of the mining area, the control center determines the coordinates of the blasting design boreholes;
[0007] Step 2: The remote operation platform controls the automatic drilling rig to move to a specific hole position and take it into place;
[0008] Step 3: The automatic drilling rig obtains borehole location data and rig position data through a satellite positioning device, and obtains formation structure parameters and attitude information through a sensing system; based on the formation structure parameters, the central control center calculates the drilling parameters; based on the drilling parameters and attitude information, the remote operation platform controls the automatic drilling rig to perform drilling operations, obtain drill cuttings, and record operation parameters in real time; the operation parameters include position, depth, pressure, speed, ore grade, and dip angle, etc.
[0009] Step 4: The automatic detection platform continuously samples the drill cuttings using a sample collection device; dries the samples using a drying device; shapes the samples using a tablet pressing device; and performs breakdown-induced spectroscopy and X-ray tomography on the samples using an analysis device to obtain the mineral grade content and internal cross-sectional structure diagram, and matches the corresponding pore location data.
[0010] Step 5: Based on the mineral grade content, the internal profile structure diagram, and the borehole data, a single-bore model characteristic curve is obtained by fusion. Then, the single-bore model characteristic curve undergoes gain amplification, difference adjustment, and fidelity preservation processing. The fidelity preservation processing refers to performing confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modeling based on adjacent borehole data. Specifically, this includes calculating the covariance of adjacent single-bore model characteristic curves, performing reliability and validity analysis and fit testing, selecting curves with path coefficients greater than 0.7 between latent variables and factor loadings greater than 0.49 between manifest variables, filtering distorted curves, and automatically filling interpolation. This maximizes the fuzzy interval prediction of the mineral grade trend trajectory around the sample.
[0011] Step 6: For the remaining holes, perform steps 2 to 5 one by one and perform differential calibration to obtain the single-hole model characteristic curves for all holes.
[0012] Step 7: Based on the single-hole model characteristic curves of all borehole locations, calculate the average value of the single-hole model characteristic curves of adjacent borehole locations, and perform characteristic curve fitting of adjacent borehole locations to obtain a spatial distribution imaging map of mineral grade.
[0013] Using the above method, drill cuttings are sampled at each borehole during the blasting drilling process, and then dried, pressed, and analyzed in real time to obtain detection data. Based on this data, a single-hole characteristic curve is constructed, and the single-hole characteristic curves of adjacent boreholes are fitted to obtain an image of the spatial distribution of ore grade. This fully utilizes the timing advantage of the blasting drilling process to efficiently and quickly obtain an image of the spatial distribution of ore grade, providing intuitive guidance for subsequent mining operations.
[0014] In one feasible implementation, step 3 specifically includes the following process:
[0015] Step 31: Using an airborne positioning device, such as a GNSS sensor device, send local positioning data to a positioning base station, such as a CORS differential base station, to perform coordinate positioning and dual correction calculation of fuselage attitude to obtain the geodetic coordinates of the borehole location.
[0016] Step 32: Refresh local location;
[0017] Step 33: After logical processing using the airborne azimuth sensor, the current drilling depth of the drill bit is obtained, and combined with the hole elevation parameters, the bottom elevation of the hole is obtained.
[0018] Step 34: Collect equipment parameters in real time through the airborne sensing system and input them into the airborne ECU. The equipment parameters include oil pressure, current, voltage, displacement, depth, water temperature and oil temperature, etc.
[0019] Step 35: Based on the geodetic coordinates of the borehole location and the elevation of the bottom of the borehole, the center coordinates of the drill rod are calculated using the positioning system and the drilling rig model; the drilling rig model refers to the three-dimensional mathematical model of the drilling rig itself, including the relative position of the drill rod center to the drilling rig reference point;
[0020] Step 36: By adjusting and collecting the posture of the automatic drilling rig boom and the drilling angle of the push beam, posture information is obtained. The posture information includes front and rear tilt angles, left and right tilt angles, drilling rig orientation, and drilling frame erection hole position, etc.
[0021] Step 37: Based on the attitude information, perform borehole guidance to achieve borehole locking and automatic control of rock drilling parameters.
[0022] Through the above steps, the parameters required for drilling operations can be obtained quickly and in real time, and the automatic drilling machine can be controlled through a remote operation platform to carry out drilling operations, thereby ensuring operational accuracy and production safety.
[0023] In one feasible implementation, the sample quantity in step 4 is as follows: the sample location is 18 meters deep, the number of samples is 6 per well, the particle diameter is less than or equal to 2 cm, and the sample weight is 200 grams.
[0024] In one feasible implementation, the drying temperature of the drying device is 200 degrees Celsius to ensure that the moisture content of the sample quickly drops below 10%.
[0025] In one feasible implementation, after the tablet compression device shapes the sample, the sample thickness is less than or equal to 40 cm, which facilitates subsequent testing.
[0026] In one feasible implementation, the breakdown-induced spectroscopy detection involves emitting a high-energy pulsed laser beam onto the sample using a laser, exciting the ore body to emit photons of a specific wavelength, and then detecting the ore body's properties and composition using spectroscopy. Specific detection conditions include:
[0027] Sampling method: continuous sampling;
[0028] Detection time: 1-2 seconds;
[0029] Detection distance: 15-50cm;
[0030] Scanned area: 5μm²;
[0031] Humidity: less than 85%.
[0032] Laser-induced spectroscopy can quickly and accurately detect the properties and composition of minerals, making it ideal for real-time detection.
[0033] In one feasible implementation, step 7 further includes a digital twin process: defining a meta-model based on the internal cross-sectional structure diagram; constructing a surface shape model of the drilling area using laser scanning point clouds; establishing the correspondence between the drill cuttings body of each borehole based on the mineral grade content and corresponding borehole location data; and mapping the surface mineral grade distribution of the drilling area in real time in virtual space based on the meta-model, the surface shape model, the mineral grade content and its borehole location data, and combined with airborne sensor data such as machine location data, stratigraphic structure parameters, and attitude information, thereby constructing an intuitive three-dimensional model of the stratigraphic structure and ore in real time.
[0034] In one feasible implementation, during the mapping process of the digital twin, the meta-model, the surface shape model, the mineral grade content, and the corresponding borehole location data are used as three types of path data. By using, for example, an extended Kalman filter algorithm, the covariance between the characteristic curves of each single borehole model is calculated, and a covariance matrix is constructed to eliminate mapping errors. This enables deep knowledge mining of the predicted trajectory of each single borehole and mixes and localizes various types of sensor data to ensure that the digital twin effect is realistic and reliable.
[0035] Secondly, based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a real-time mineral grade distribution detection system, including: a central control center, a remote operation platform, an automatic drilling rig, an automatic detection platform, and a wireless transmission module.
[0036] The central control center outputs the coordinates of the blasting design boreholes to the remote operation platform based on the operation map of the mining area.
[0037] The remote operation platform controls the automatic drilling rig to travel to the designed hole position based on the hole position coordinates, detects the hole position data, machine position data, formation structure parameters and attitude information, and sends the formation structure parameters to the central control center.
[0038] The centralized control center calculates drilling parameters based on formation structure parameters and sends them to the remote operation platform.
[0039] The remote operation platform controls the automatic drilling rig to perform drilling operations based on drilling parameters and attitude information, obtains drill cuttings, records operation parameters in real time, and transports the drill cuttings to the automatic detection platform.
[0040] The automatic detection platform performs sorting, drying, pressing and analysis on the drill cuttings to obtain the mineral grade content and internal cross-sectional structure diagram, and matches the corresponding borehole location data, which is then sent to the central control center.
[0041] The central control center, based on the mineral grade content, internal profile structure diagram and borehole data, fuses to obtain a single-hole model feature curve, and fits the single-hole model feature curves of all boreholes with the feature curves of adjacent boreholes to obtain a spatial distribution imaging map of mineral grade.
[0042] The wireless transmission module is used to transmit data and instructions within the system.
[0043] The system described above can be used to design blasting locations in the mining area, automatically perform drilling and real-time detection of ore grade, and simultaneously construct an imaging map of the spatial distribution of ore grade, providing intuitive guidance for subsequent mining operations.
[0044] In one feasible implementation, a task management subsystem is also included, which takes the job parameters as input, performs statistical calculations, outputs job reports and operation logs, and sends them to the web for visualization and query.
[0045] In one feasible implementation, the task management subsystem also includes a data reading interface to facilitate subsequent data management and data analysis.
[0046] In one feasible implementation, a digital twin module is also included. This digital twin module defines a meta-model based on the internal cross-sectional structure diagram; constructs a surface shape model of the drilling area using laser scanning point clouds; establishes a correspondence between drill cuttings bodies for each borehole based on the mineral grade content and corresponding borehole location data; and performs real-time mapping of the surface mineral grade distribution of the drilling area in virtual space based on the meta-model, the surface shape model, the mineral grade content and its borehole location data, combined with machine location data, formation structure parameters, and attitude information. This mapping reflects the entire lifecycle trajectory of the formation ore and provides a more intuitive representation of the formation mineral grade distribution.
[0047] In one feasible implementation, the control communication of the real-time mineral grade distribution detection system adopts a serial bus system, and the remote communication adopts a serial bus system converted to TCP / IP protocol. This allows the PC, WEB and mobile terminals to be synchronized from the same source, and the digital twin imaging error is ≤0.5m.
[0048] Thirdly, based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a real-time detection device for mineral grade distribution, including an automatic drilling rig and an automatic detection platform:
[0049] The automatic drilling rig includes a drilling mechanism, sensors, and a traveling mechanism.
[0050] The drilling mechanism is movably mounted at one end of the traveling mechanism and is used to drill blasting holes in the ground; the end of the drilling mechanism that contacts the ground is equipped with a dust removal device for collecting drill cuttings generated during drilling.
[0051] The sensors are mounted on the drilling mechanism and include a GNSS sensor, an azimuth sensor, and a pressure sensor: the GNSS sensor is mounted on the top of the drill frame; the azimuth sensor is mounted at the power head of the drill frame and connected by a pin; the pressure sensor is mounted in the middle of the drill frame.
[0052] The walking mechanism includes electric wheels, an industrial control computer, a hydraulic system, and a power system: the hydraulic system is used to drive the drilling mechanism to move; the power system is used to supply power to the real-time ore grade distribution detection equipment; the industrial control computer is electrically connected to the electric wheels, the hydraulic system, and the power system respectively, and is used to control the cooperative operation of each part;
[0053] One end of the automatic detection platform is hinged to the end of the traveling mechanism away from the drilling mechanism, and specifically includes a control box, an air compressor, a sample collection device, a drying device, a tablet pressing device, an analysis device, and a conveyor belt.
[0054] The control box is electrically connected to the air compressor, the sample collection device, the drying device, the tablet pressing device, the analytical device, and the conveyor belt, respectively, for controlling the coordinated operation of each part. One end of the air compressor is connected to the bottom of the drilling mechanism, and the other end is connected to the input end of the sample collection device, for supplying air to the work, slag discharge, and slag delivery stages of the drilling mechanism. The sample collection device is used to divert and sample drill cuttings. The drying device, the tablet pressing device, and the analytical device are arranged sequentially at the rear of the sample collection device and interconnected by the conveyor belt, for automatically electrothermal drying, pressing, and analyzing the samples. In this way, after the ore at the same drilling depth is separated into large drill blocks at the air compressor, the drill cuttings sequentially enter the sample collection device, the drying device, the tablet pressing device, and the analytical device. Through overall control by the control box, the drilling speed of the drill frame is ensured to be consistent with the sample diversion speed and the conveying speed, thereby facilitating the establishment of a one-to-one correspondence between the borehole depth of the sample source and the analytical results.
[0055] The equipment has a reasonable layout and compact structure, and can realize automatic drilling, sampling and testing analysis operations in mining areas.
[0056] In one feasible implementation, the hydraulic system includes a first hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic cylinder, an electro-hydraulic valve, an electro-pneumatic control valve, and a hydraulic oil tank.
[0057] The first hydraulic cylinder is used to rotate the drilling mechanism along the first hinge axis;
[0058] The second hydraulic cylinder is used to rotate the drilling mechanism along the second hinge axis, thus providing greater freedom of movement.
[0059] The electro-hydraulic valve is installed in the oil circuit of the first hydraulic cylinder, the second hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic oil tank, and is used to control the first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder.
[0060] The electro-pneumatic control valve is installed in the air circuit between the air compressor and the down-the-hole hammer, and is used to control the down-the-hole hammer. The down-the-hole hammer is a prior art technology that adopts dry operation, using air as both power and slag removal medium, and can perform high-frequency impact on the bottom of the hole without polluting the environment.
[0061] In one feasible implementation, the power system includes a diesel generator and a diesel tank:
[0062] The power output terminal of the diesel generator is connected to the power input terminal of the electric vehicle wheel; the fuel input terminal of the diesel generator is connected to the output terminal of the diesel tank.
[0063] In one feasible implementation, the automatic drilling rig further includes an onboard ECU, which is electrically connected to the electric wheel, the sensor, the control box, etc., to facilitate data and command processing.
[0064] In one feasible implementation, both the control box and the airborne ECU are equipped with 5G terminals for sending and receiving data and commands in real time.
[0065] In one feasible implementation, the analytical device includes a laser-induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS) with an embedded X-ray computed tomography (CT) module. LIBS is a prior art technique, and its principle is briefly described as follows: a high-energy pulsed laser beam is emitted from a laser towards the mineral powder, causing the energy to be locally coupled into the ore body and reach the mineral's breakdown threshold, resulting in its stripping and vaporization. The ionized atoms then interact with air to generate ions, which excite photons of a specific wavelength in the tested ore body. The properties and composition of the ore body are determined by spectral detection. HRXCT, also a prior art technique, works by measuring the attenuation coefficient of X-rays within the drill cuttings to obtain the two-dimensional distribution characteristics of the drill cuttings profile, and then reconstructing the tomographic image using a grayscale valve.
[0066] In one feasible implementation, the air compressor is a high-pressure screw air compressor.
[0067] In one feasible implementation, the real-time mineral grade distribution detection device further includes surround-view cameras distributed around the walking mechanism to capture images of the surrounding environment, facilitating the operation of the device to avoid obstacles while moving.
[0068] In one feasible implementation, the real-time mineral grade distribution detection device also includes an electronic fence, which is set around the safe working area and used to determine the safe working area by infrared coils. When the device moves out of the safe working area of the electronic fence, the electronic fence will issue an alarm to issue a timely warning to prevent accidents such as equipment falling off cliffs or into water.
[0069] In one feasible implementation, a shock-absorbing device is provided at the hinge joint between the automatic detection platform and the traveling mechanism to prevent the automatic detection platform from being affected by the vibration transmitted from the traveling mechanism due to the drilling operation of the automatic drilling rig, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the equipment on the automatic detection platform and ensuring the accuracy of the analysis results.
[0070] In one feasible implementation, the shock-absorbing device is a spring.
[0071] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0072] The method, system, and equipment for real-time detection of mineral grade distribution provided by this invention can realize functions such as automatic walking, automatic drilling, and real-time analysis. During the real-time drilling process, computer three-dimensional dynamic simulation is applied to generate a spatial distribution imaging map of mineral grade, providing intuitive guidance for mineral processing and significantly improving mining efficiency and quality.

[0085] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0086] It should also be noted that the specific embodiments or implementation methods described below are a series of optimized settings listed by the present invention to further explain the specific content of the invention, and these settings can be combined or used in conjunction with each other.
[0087] Example 1:
[0088] like Figure 1 As shown, the real-time detection method for mineral grade distribution provided in this embodiment includes:
[0089] Step 1: Based on the operation map of the mining area, the control center determines the coordinates of the blasting design boreholes;
[0090] Step 2: The remote operation platform controls the automatic drilling rig to move to a specific hole position and take it into place;
[0091] Step 3: The automatic drilling rig obtains borehole location data and rig position data through a satellite positioning device, and obtains formation structure parameters and attitude information through a sensing system; based on the formation structure parameters, the central control center calculates the drilling parameters; based on the drilling parameters and attitude information, the remote operation platform controls the automatic drilling rig to perform drilling operations, obtain drill cuttings, and record operation parameters in real time; the operation parameters include position, depth, pressure, speed, ore grade, and dip angle;
[0092] Step 4: The automatic detection platform continuously samples the drill cuttings using a sample collection device; dries the samples using a drying device; shapes the samples using a tablet pressing device; and performs breakdown-induced spectroscopy and X-ray tomography on the samples using an analysis device to obtain the mineral grade content and internal cross-sectional structure diagram, and matches the corresponding pore location data.
[0093] Step 5: Based on the mineral grade content, the internal cross-sectional structure diagram and the borehole data, a single borehole model feature curve is obtained by fusion, and then the single borehole model feature curve is subjected to gain amplification, differential adjustment and fidelity preservation processing.
[0094] Step 6: For the remaining holes, perform steps 2 to 5 one by one and perform differential calibration to obtain the single-hole model characteristic curves for all holes.
[0095] Step 7: Based on the single-hole model characteristic curves of all borehole locations, calculate the average value of the single-hole model characteristic curves of adjacent borehole locations, and perform characteristic curve fitting of adjacent borehole locations to obtain a spatial distribution imaging map of mineral grade.
[0096] Using the above method, drill cuttings are sampled at each borehole during the blasting drilling process, and then dried, pressed, and analyzed in real time to obtain detection data. Based on this data, a single-hole model characteristic curve is constructed, and the characteristic curves of adjacent boreholes are fitted to obtain a spatial distribution image of ore grade. This fully utilizes the timing advantage of the blasting drilling process to efficiently and quickly obtain ore grade distribution data and generate a spatial distribution image of ore grade, providing intuitive guidance for subsequent mineral processing.
[0097] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the specific process of step 3 includes:
[0098] Step 31: Using the airborne positioning device, i.e. the GNSS sensor device, send the local positioning data to the positioning base station, such as the CORS differential base station, to perform coordinate positioning and dual correction calculation of the fuselage attitude to obtain the geodetic coordinates of the hole location.
[0099] Step 32: Refresh local location;
[0100] Step 33: After logical processing using the airborne azimuth sensor, the current drilling depth of the drill bit is obtained, and combined with the hole elevation parameters, the bottom elevation of the hole is obtained.
[0101] Step 34: Collect equipment parameters in real time through the airborne sensing system and input them into the airborne ECU. The equipment parameters include oil pressure, current, voltage, displacement, depth, water temperature and oil temperature.
[0102] Step 35: Based on the geodetic coordinates of the borehole location and the elevation of the bottom of the borehole, the center coordinates of the drill rod are calculated using the positioning system and the drilling rig model; the drilling rig model refers to the three-dimensional mathematical model of the drilling rig itself, including the relative position of the drill rod center to the drilling rig reference point;
[0103] Step 36: By adjusting and collecting the posture of the automatic drilling rig boom and the drilling angle of the push beam, posture information is obtained. The posture information includes front and rear tilt angles, left and right tilt angles, drilling rig orientation, and drilling frame erection hole position.
[0104] Step 37: Based on the attitude information, perform borehole guidance to achieve borehole locking and automatic control of rock drilling parameters.
[0105] Through the above steps, the parameters required for drilling operations can be obtained quickly and in real time, and the automatic drilling machine can be controlled through a remote operation platform to carry out drilling operations, thereby ensuring operational accuracy and production safety.
[0106] Furthermore, the sample quantity in step 4 is as follows: the sample location is 18 meters deep, the number of samples is 6 per well, the particle diameter is less than or equal to 2 cm, and the sample weight is 200 grams.
[0107] Furthermore, the drying temperature of the drying device is 200 degrees Celsius to ensure that the moisture content of the sample quickly drops below 10%.
[0108] Furthermore, after the tablet compression device shapes the sample, the sample thickness is less than or equal to 40 cm, which facilitates subsequent testing.
[0109] Furthermore, the breakdown-induced spectroscopy detection involves emitting a high-energy pulsed laser beam onto the sample using a laser, exciting the ore body to emit photons of a specific wavelength, and then detecting the ore body's properties and composition using spectroscopy. Specific detection conditions include:
[0110] Sampling method: continuous sampling;
[0111] Detection time: 1-2 seconds;
[0112] Detection distance: 15-50cm;
[0113] Scanned area: 5μm²;
[0114] Humidity: less than 85%.
[0115] Laser-induced spectroscopy can quickly and accurately detect the properties and composition of minerals, making it ideal for real-time detection.
[0116] Furthermore, step 7 also includes a digital twin process: defining a meta-model based on the internal cross-sectional structure diagram; constructing a surface shape model of the drilling area through laser scanning point cloud; establishing the correspondence between the drill cuttings body of each hole based on the mineral grade content and corresponding hole location data; and mapping the surface mineral grade distribution of the drilling area in real time in virtual space based on the meta-model, the surface shape model, the mineral grade content and its hole location data, and combined with airborne sensor data such as machine location data, stratigraphic structure parameters, and attitude information, thereby constructing an intuitive three-dimensional model of the stratigraphic structure and ore in real time.
[0117] Furthermore, in the mapping process of the digital twin, the meta-model, the surface shape model, the mineral grade content, and the corresponding borehole location data are used as three types of path data. An extended Kalman filter algorithm is employed to calculate the covariance between the characteristic curves of each single-bore model, constructing a covariance matrix to eliminate mapping errors. This achieves deep knowledge mining of the predicted trajectory of each single borehole and integrates and localizes various sensor data to ensure the digital twin effect is realistic and reliable. The extended Kalman filter algorithm is a prior art technique that uses the state equation of a linear system to optimally estimate the system state through system input and output observation data. Of course, other algorithms known in the art can also be used to achieve the same technical effect, depending on actual needs.
[0118] Example 2:
[0119] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a real-time detection system for ore grade distribution, including: a centralized control center, a remote operation platform, an automatic drilling rig, an automatic detection platform, and a wireless transmission module.
[0120] The centralized control center, based on the mining area's operational map, outputs the coordinates of the blasting design borehole positions to the remote operation platform. The remote operation platform, based on these coordinates, controls the automatic drilling rig to travel to the designed borehole position, detects borehole position data, rig position data, geological structure parameters, and attitude information, and sends the geological structure parameters to the centralized control center. The centralized control center, based on the geological structure parameters, calculates the drilling parameters and sends them to the remote operation platform. The remote operation platform, based on the drilling parameters and attitude information, controls the automatic drilling rig to perform drilling operations, obtaining drill cuttings and recording operational parameters in real time, and then transports the drill cuttings to the automatic detection platform. The automatic detection platform separates, dries, presses, and analyzes the drill cuttings to obtain the ore grade content and internal profile structure diagram, matches the corresponding borehole position data, and sends it to the centralized control center. The centralized control center, based on the ore grade content, internal profile structure diagram, and borehole position data, fuses them to obtain a single-hole model feature curve, and performs adjacent-hole feature curve fitting on the single-hole model feature curves of all borehole positions to obtain a spatial distribution imaging map of the ore grade.
[0121] The wireless transmission module is used to transmit data and instructions within the system.
[0122] The system described above can be used to design blasting locations in the mining area, automatically perform drilling and real-time detection of ore grade, and simultaneously construct a spatial distribution map of ore grade, providing intuitive guidance for subsequent mining operations.
[0123] Furthermore, it also includes a task management subsystem, which takes the job parameters as input, performs statistical calculations, outputs job reports and operation logs, and sends them to the web for easy visualization and query.
[0124] Furthermore, the task management subsystem also includes a data reading interface to facilitate subsequent data management and analysis.
[0125] Furthermore, it also includes a digital twin module, which defines a meta-model based on the internal cross-sectional structure diagram; constructs a surface shape model of the drilling area through laser scanning point cloud; establishes the correspondence between drill cuttings bodies for each borehole based on the mineral grade content and corresponding borehole location data; and performs real-time mapping of the surface mineral grade distribution of the drilling area in virtual space based on the meta-model, the surface shape model, the mineral grade content and its borehole location data, combined with machine location data, formation structure parameters and attitude information, to reflect the full-cycle trajectory process of the formation ore and more intuitively display the distribution of formation mineral grade.
[0126] Furthermore, the control communication of the real-time mineral grade distribution detection system adopts a serial bus system, and the remote communication adopts a serial bus system converted to TCP / IP protocol.

[0133] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the automatic detection platform 2 is provided with wheels, and one end of the automatic detection platform 2 is hinged to the end of the walking mechanism 3 away from the drilling mechanism 10 through a hinge 35, so that the automatic detection platform 2 can be pulled and moved.
[0134] The automatic detection platform 2 specifically includes a control box 20, an air compressor 21, a sample collection device 22, a drying device 23, a tablet pressing device 24, an analysis device 25, and a conveyor belt.
[0135] The control box 20 is electrically connected to the air compressor 21, the sampling device 22, the drying device 23, the tablet pressing device 24, the analysis device 25, and the conveyor belt, respectively, and is used to control the coordinated operation of each part; one end of the air compressor 21 is connected to the bottom of the drilling mechanism 10 through the diverter pipe 26, and the other end is connected to the input end of the sampling device 22, which is used to supply air for the impact down-the-hole hammer to perform work, discharge slag, and feed slag to the sampling device 22; the sampling device 22 is used to divert and sample drill cuttings; the drying device 23, the tablet pressing device 24, and the sample collection device 25 are all connected to the air compressor 21, the sampling device 22, the drying device 23, the tablet pressing device 24, the analysis device 25, and the conveyor belt, respectively, to control the coordinated operation of each part; one end of the air compressor 21 is connected to the bottom of the drilling mechanism 10 through the diverter pipe 26, and the other end is connected to the input end of the sampling device 22, which is used to supply air for the impact down-the-hole hammer to perform work, discharge slag, and feed slag to the sampling device 25; the sampling device 22 is used to divert and sample drill cuttings; the drying device 23, the tablet pressing device 24, and the sample collection device 25 are all connected to the air compressor 21, the sampling device 22, the drying device 23, the tablet pressing device 24, the analysis device 25, and the conveyor belt 25, respectively, to control the coordinated operation of each part; one end of the air compressor 21 is connected to the bottom of the drilling mechanism 10 through the diverter pipe 26, and the other end of the sampling device 22 is connected to the input end of the sampling device 23, and the sample collection device 24 is connected to the input end of the sampling device 2 Device 24 and the analytical device 25 are sequentially arranged at the rear of the sample collection device 22 and connected by a conveyor belt.

The overall control is achieved by the control box 20 to ensure that the drilling speed of the drill frame is consistent with the sample diversion speed and the conveying speed, thereby facilitating the establishment of a one-to-one correspondence between the borehole depth of the sample source and the analysis results.
[0136] The equipment has a reasonable layout and compact structure, and can realize automatic drilling, sampling and testing operations in mining areas.
[0137] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the hydraulic system 31 includes a first hydraulic cylinder 310, a second hydraulic cylinder 311, an electro-hydraulic valve, an electro-pneumatic control valve, and a hydraulic oil tank.
[0138] The first hydraulic cylinder 310 is used to rotate the drilling mechanism along the first hinge axis;
[0139] The second hydraulic cylinder 311 is used to rotate the drilling mechanism along the second hinge axis, thus providing greater freedom of movement.
[0140] The electro-hydraulic valve is installed in the oil circuit of the first hydraulic cylinder 310, the second hydraulic cylinder 311 and the hydraulic oil tank, and is used to control the first hydraulic cylinder 310 and the second hydraulic cylinder 311.

[0146] Furthermore, the analysis device 25 includes a laser-induced breakdown spectrometer, which is embedded with an X-ray tomography module. Laser-induced breakdown (LIBS) is a prior art technology. Its principle can be briefly described as follows: a high-energy pulsed laser beam is emitted from a laser towards the mineral powder, causing the energy to be locally coupled into the ore body and reach the breakdown threshold of the mineral, resulting in its stripping and vaporization. The ionized atoms then interact with air to produce ions, which excite photons of a specific wavelength in the tested ore body. The properties and composition of the ore body are determined through spectral detection, with a detection accuracy of 0.01%. The X-ray tomography (HRXCT) is also a prior art technology. Its principle is to measure the attenuation coefficient of X-rays inside the drill cuttings to obtain the two-dimensional distribution characteristics of the drill cuttings profile. The tomographic image is reconstructed using a grayscale valve, thereby obtaining the submicron-level structure inside the drill cuttings.
[0147] Furthermore, the air compressor 21 is a high-pressure screw air compressor. Of course, it can also be other air compressors known in the art to achieve the same technical effect.
[0148] Furthermore, the real-time mineral grade distribution detection device also includes surround-view cameras, which are distributed around the walking mechanism 3 to capture images of the surrounding environment, making it easier to control the device to avoid obstacles while moving.
[0149] Furthermore, the real-time mineral grade distribution detection equipment also includes an electronic fence, which is set around the safe working area and used to determine the safe working area by infrared coils. When the equipment moves out of the safe working area of the electronic fence, the electronic fence will issue an alarm to issue a timely warning in order to prevent accidents such as equipment falling off cliffs or into water.
[0150] Furthermore, a shock-absorbing device is provided at the hinge 35 between the automatic detection platform 2 and the walking mechanism 3 to prevent the automatic detection platform 2 from being affected by the vibration transmitted from the walking mechanism 3 due to the drilling operation of the automatic drilling machine 1, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the equipment on the automatic detection platform 2 and thus ensuring the accuracy of the analysis results.
[0151] Preferably, the shock-absorbing device is a spring.
