Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of coal mining machines, specifically to an adaptive control method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for coal mining machines. Background Technology

[0002] As coal mining progresses into deeper coal seams, the incidence of disasters such as gas explosions is high, highly unpredictable, and results in significant casualties. This places high demands on the reliability, unmanned operation, and adaptability of coal mining machines. As one of the main pieces of equipment in fully mechanized mining systems, coal mining machines are characterized by high cutting efficiency and strong coal breaking capacity, playing a decisive role in improving the productivity and efficiency of the working face.

[0003] In existing automatic control systems for coal mining machines, workers rely on gas monitoring devices to determine if there are any safety hazards. If the gas concentration exceeds the standard, the power supply to the coal mining machine is immediately cut off. Power is restored once the working face conditions meet the relevant regulations, and the coal mining machine continues operation. This coal mining method often results in unnecessary stops and starts, leading to low mining efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an adaptive control method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for a coal mining machine, which can reduce unnecessary stops and starts of the coal mining machine, thereby improving coal mining efficiency.

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides an adaptive control method for a coal mining machine, comprising:

[0006] When the gas concentration detected by the gas sensor exceeds the first gas concentration threshold, the current excess gas concentration is determined.

[0007] The first reducible gas concentration of the ventilator is determined based on the first dust concentration collected by the dust sensor.

[0008] The second reducible gas concentration of the coal mining machine is determined based on the first reducible gas concentration and the target coal mining efficiency;

[0009] If the first reducible gas concentration is greater than or equal to the excess gas concentration, the wind speed of the ventilator is increased based on the first reducible gas concentration.

[0010] If the first reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration, and the sum of the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration is greater than or equal to the excess gas concentration, then the wind speed of the ventilator is increased and the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine is decreased based on the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration.

[0011] If the sum of the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration, then the wind speed of the ventilator is increased and the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine is decreased based on the first reducible gas concentration.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the gas concentration exceeds the safety threshold, the ventilation speed of the ventilation fan is increased and the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine is reduced according to the dust concentration in the coal passage and the coal mining efficiency. Under the premise of considering the coal mining efficiency, the gas concentration is reduced to the safety threshold, which can prevent unnecessary stopping and starting of the coal mining machine, thereby improving the coal mining efficiency of the coal mining machine.

[0013] Optionally, determining the first reducible gas concentration of the ventilator based on the first dust concentration collected by the dust sensor includes:

[0014] The difference between the first dust concentration threshold and the first dust concentration is obtained to obtain the difference dust concentration;

[0015] Based on the differential dust concentration and the relationship between dust concentration and ventilation speed, the accelerable ventilation speed of the ventilator is determined.

[0016] The first descent gas concentration of the ventilator is determined based on the descent velocity.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the ventilator's maximum ventilation speed can be determined based on the dust concentration, thereby reducing the gas concentration in the coal duct and effectively preventing excessive dust concentration caused by excessive ventilation speed, thus avoiding damage to the equipment.

[0018] Optionally, determining the second reducible gas concentration of the coal mining machine based on the first reducible gas concentration and the target coal mining efficiency includes:

[0019] The first differential gas concentration is obtained by subtracting the excess gas concentration from the first reducible gas concentration.

[0020] Based on the target coal mining efficiency and the first differential gas concentration, the second reducible gas concentration of the coal mining machine is determined.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, since increasing the ventilation speed does not affect the coal mining efficiency, the ventilation speed is increased first to reduce the gas concentration in the coal passage. Then, based on the coal mining efficiency and the first differential gas concentration, the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine is reduced, thereby ensuring the coal mining efficiency of the coal mining machine.

[0022] Optionally, increasing the wind speed of the ventilator and reducing the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine based on the first reducible gas concentration includes:

[0023] Based on the first reduction in gas concentration, the air velocity of the ventilator is increased;

[0024] The first differential gas concentration is obtained by subtracting the excess gas concentration from the first reducible gas concentration.

[0025] Based on the first differential gas concentration, the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine is reduced.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sum of the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration, the gas concentration is reduced by increasing the ventilation speed first. Subsequently, the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine is reduced according to the first difference gas concentration, thereby reducing the gas concentration to below the first gas concentration threshold.

[0027] Optionally, the coal mining speed includes drum rotation speed and traction speed, and reducing the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine according to the first differential gas concentration includes:

[0028] Based on the first differential gas concentration, the drum speed is preferentially reduced to the lowest threshold, and then the traction speed is reduced.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, prioritizing the reduction of drum speed is beneficial to the mining of lump coal and results in higher economic benefits. By prioritizing the reduction of drum speed, the mining rate of lump coal can be increased.

[0030] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0031] If the gas concentration detected by the gas sensor is higher than the second gas concentration threshold, an alarm is sent to the management personnel, where the second concentration threshold is greater than the first concentration threshold.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, when the gas concentration exceeds the second gas concentration threshold, an alarm is sent to the management personnel, who then analyze the specific situation on site to avoid potential safety hazards.

[0033] A second aspect of this application provides an adaptive control device for a coal mining machine, the device comprising:

[0034] The excess gas concentration determination module is used to determine the current excess gas concentration when the first gas concentration collected by the gas sensor exceeds the first gas concentration threshold.

[0035] The first reducible gas concentration determination module is used to determine the first reducible gas concentration of the ventilator based on the first dust concentration collected by the dust sensor.

[0036] The second reducible gas concentration determination module is used to determine the second reducible gas concentration of the coal mining machine based on the first reducible gas concentration and the target coal mining efficiency.

[0037] The first gas concentration adjustment module is used to increase the wind speed of the ventilator based on the first reducible gas concentration if the first reducible gas concentration is greater than or equal to the excess gas concentration.

[0038] The second gas concentration adjustment module is used to increase the wind speed of the ventilator and decrease the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine based on the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration if the first reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration and the sum of the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration is greater than or equal to the excess gas concentration.

[0039] The third gas concentration adjustment module is used to increase the wind speed of the ventilator and decrease the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine based on the first reducible gas concentration if the sum of the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration.

[0040] A third aspect of this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions adapted for loading by a processor and executing the method steps described above.

[0041] A fourth aspect of this application provides an electronic device, comprising: a processor and a memory; wherein the memory stores a computer program adapted to be loaded by the processor and to execute the above-described method steps.

[0042] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, when the gas concentration exceeds the safety threshold, the ventilation speed of the ventilation fan is increased and the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine is reduced according to the dust concentration in the coal passage and the coal mining efficiency. Under the premise of considering the coal mining efficiency, the gas concentration is reduced to the safety threshold, which can prevent unnecessary stopping and starting of the coal mining machine, thereby improving the coal mining efficiency of the coal mining machine.

[0049] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0050] In the description of the embodiments in this application, words such as "illustrative," "for example," or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "illustrative," "for example," or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "illustrative," "for example," or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0051] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, B existing alone, or A and B existing simultaneously. Furthermore, unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more. For example, multiple systems refer to two or more systems, and multiple screen terminals refer to two or more screen terminals.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and their variations all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0052] In the early stages of coal formation, cellulose and organic matter in plants decompose under environmental conditions to produce gases such as methane. These gases are stored within the coal seam and are called methane. Methane is gradually released as the coal seam is mined. When it accumulates to a certain concentration underground, it can cause safety accidents such as explosions. In the automatic control system of traditional coal mining machines, workers rely on methane monitoring devices to determine whether the coal mining machine is moving too fast. If the methane concentration exceeds the standard, the power supply to the coal mining machine is immediately cut off. Once the methane concentration drops below the standard concentration, the power supply to the coal mining machine is restored, and the coal mining machine continues to operate. In this coal mining method, the coal mining machine often experiences unnecessary stops and starts, which causes impacts and damage to the motor windings and gears, and also affects the coal mining efficiency.

[0053] To balance environmental safety, mining efficiency, and the service life of coal mining machines and related equipment, this application provides an adaptive control method for coal mining machines. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 This method can be implemented using a computer program, a microcontroller, or run on an adaptive control device for coal mining machines based on the von Neumann architecture. The computer program can be integrated into the application or run as a standalone tool application.

[0054] Step 101: When the gas concentration collected by the gas sensor exceeds the first gas concentration threshold, determine the current excess gas concentration.

[0055] Since the coal mining machine is in a moving state during the coal mining process, uneven distribution of gas concentration may occur. Therefore, in this embodiment, gas sensors are installed at multiple locations on the coal mining machine, such as the left traveling part, the right traveling part, and the central part. Each gas sensor is connected to the controller of the coal mining machine via wired or wireless connection to transmit the gas concentration information collected during the coal mining process in real time, and the real-time collected gas concentration information is defined as the first gas concentration.

[0056] Furthermore, according to the "Coal Mine Safety Regulations," an alarm is triggered when the methane concentration at the fully mechanized coal mining face reaches 1%, and work must be stopped and personnel evacuated when it reaches 1.5%. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first methane concentration threshold can be set at approximately 1%. The first methane concentration, collected in real time by a methane sensor, is compared with the first methane concentration threshold, and the operation of the coal mining machine and other related equipment is controlled based on the comparison result.

[0057] For example, when the controller of the coal mining machine determines that the received first gas concentration exceeds the first gas concentration threshold, the difference between the first gas concentration and the first gas concentration threshold is calculated to obtain the excess gas concentration when the coal mining machine is currently operating.

[0058] Step 102: Determine the first reducible gas concentration of the ventilator based on the first dust concentration collected by the dust sensor.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, a ventilation fan can be installed in the coal mining environment around the coal mining machine. The fan is connected to the coal mining machine by wire or wireless means. The controller in the coal mining machine can control the ventilation speed. The higher the ventilation speed, the faster the gas in the mine tunnel dissipates. Thus, the gas concentration in the mine tunnel can be reduced by increasing the ventilation speed of the ventilation fan.

[0060] However, in actual coal mining, due to varying geological environments and significant differences in mining methods and processes, a large amount of dust is typically generated during mining operations. This dust adheres to the mine walls and surface, while the remainder is suspended in the mine tunnels. If the ventilation speed is too high, the dust adhering to the walls and surface will float, resulting in a large amount of dust suspended in the mine tunnels, affecting the health of workers and the lifespan of equipment. Therefore, there is an upper limit to reducing the gas concentration in the mine tunnels by increasing the ventilation speed.

[0061] For example, multiple parts of the coal mining machine are equipped with dust sensors. Each dust sensor is connected to the coal mining machine via wired or wireless means to transmit dust concentration information collected during the coal mining process in real time. The real-time dust concentration information is defined as the first dust concentration. Based on the upper limit of the dust concentration, the increase value of the ventilation speed can be determined. Then, based on the increase value of the ventilation speed, the corresponding decrease value of the gas concentration can be determined. The decrease value of the gas concentration is defined as the first reducible gas concentration.

[0062] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the step of determining the first reducible gas concentration of the ventilator according to the first dust concentration collected by the dust sensor may further include the following steps:

[0063] Step 201: Subtract the first dust concentration threshold from the first dust concentration to obtain the difference dust concentration.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, the first dust concentration threshold refers to the maximum dust concentration in the mine tunnel. It can be understood that if the dust concentration in the mine tunnel exceeds the first dust concentration threshold, it may affect the service life of the workers and equipment.

[0065] For example, the controller collects dust concentration in real time through a dust sensor, and calculates the difference between the first dust concentration threshold and the first dust concentration to obtain the dust concentration that can be increased within a certain limit. This concentration is defined as the differential dust concentration.

[0066] Step 202: Determine the ventilator's maximum ventilation velocity based on the differential dust concentration and the relationship between dust concentration and ventilation velocity.

[0067] For example, the upliftable ventilation velocity of the ventilator can be calculated based on the differential dust concentration using the relationship between dust concentration and ventilation velocity. The relationship between dust concentration and ventilation velocity is expressed as V1 = NV2S, where V1 represents the dust mass flow rate; N represents the dust concentration; V2 represents the ventilation velocity; and S represents the mine tunnel area.

[0068] Step 203: Determine the first descent gas concentration of the ventilator based on the descent velocity.

[0069] By establishing a flow field simulation model within the mine tunnel and conducting simulations using Fluent software, it can be observed that the methane concentration within the mine tunnel varies significantly under different fan velocities. When the fan velocities are low, the methane concentration within the mine tunnel is high, and the width of the methane exceeding the limit area is also large. As the fan velocities increase, the methane concentration within the mine tunnel gradually decreases, and the width of the methane exceeding the limit area within the mine tunnel also becomes smaller and smaller.

[0070] Furthermore, based on the accelerable ventilation velocity obtained above, the reduction in gas concentration in the mine tunnel after increasing the ventilation speed of the ventilator to the accelerable ventilation velocity can be estimated, and this reduction can be defined as the first accelerable gas concentration.

[0071] Step 103: Determine the second reducible gas concentration of the coal mining machine based on the first reducible gas concentration and the target coal mining efficiency.

[0072] In this embodiment of the application, the target coal mining efficiency can be understood as the target coal mining volume of the coal mining machine within a certain period of time. In the existing automatic control system of the coal mining machine, the gas monitoring device is usually used to determine whether the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine is too fast. If the gas concentration exceeds the standard, the power supply of the coal mining machine is immediately cut off. The power supply is restored after the working face conditions meet the relevant regulations, and the coal mining machine continues to operate. Alternatively, the coal mining efficiency of the coal mining machine is reduced to reduce the gas concentration. However, in both of the above methods, the target coal mining efficiency of the coal mining machine will be low.

[0073] For example, when the first reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration, it indicates that increasing the ventilation speed within a certain limit is insufficient to reduce the excess gas concentration. It is necessary to further reduce the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine to reduce the gas outburst in the mine tunnel. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring the coal mining efficiency of the coal mining machine, the reduction value of the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine can be determined according to the target coal mining efficiency. Then, the corresponding reduction value of gas concentration can be determined according to the reduction value of the coal mining speed, and the gas concentration reduction value at this time is defined as the second reducible gas concentration.

[0074] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the step of determining the second reducible gas concentration of the coal mining machine according to the first reducible gas concentration and the target coal mining efficiency may further include the following steps:

[0075] Step 301: Subtract the excess gas concentration from the first reducible gas concentration to obtain the first differential gas concentration.

[0076] For example, when it is necessary to further reduce the gas concentration in the mine tunnel by reducing the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine, it means that the excess gas concentration is greater than the first reducible gas concentration. The controller calculates the difference between the excess gas concentration and the first reducible gas concentration and defines the difference as the first differential gas concentration.

[0077] Step 302: Based on the target coal mining efficiency and the first differential gas concentration, determine the second reducible gas concentration of the coal mining machine.

[0078] The loading components of the coal mining machine are equipped with gravity sensors, which can monitor the quality of the mined coal in real time. Based on the quality of the mined coal obtained by the coal mining machine within a certain period of time, the mining efficiency at that time can be reflected.

[0079] Furthermore, since the coal formation structure on different mine walls is different, the coal mining efficiency and the generated gas concentration of the coal mining machine are different when operating on different mine tunnels. Therefore, in a feasible implementation, the relationship between coal mining speed and coal mining quantity, as well as the relationship between coal mining speed and gas concentration, can be determined by analyzing the coal structure of the mine wall before coal mining. When the coal mining machine is working, the relationship between coal mining speed and coal mining quantity, as well as the relationship between coal mining speed and gas concentration, are calibrated by the coal mining speed, coal mining quantity, and gas concentration.

[0080] For example, the controller can determine the current coal mining efficiency of the coal mining machine based on the amount of coal mined within a certain time. If the current coal mining efficiency is greater than the target coal mining efficiency, the controller can determine the reducible speed of the coal mining machine based on the relationship between coal mining speed and coal mining amount, and then determine the second reducible gas concentration of the coal mining machine based on the relationship between coal mining speed and gas concentration.

[0081] Step 104: If the first descent gas concentration is greater than or equal to the excess gas concentration, then increase the fan speed based on the first descent gas concentration.

[0082] For example, if the controller determines that the first reducible gas concentration is greater than or equal to the excess gas concentration, it means that by increasing the ventilation speed of the ventilator, the current gas concentration can be reduced to below the first gas concentration. Therefore, the controller can directly calculate the increaseable ventilation speed of the ventilator based on the first reducible gas concentration and send a control signal to the ventilator to increase the ventilation speed of the ventilator accordingly.

[0083] Step 105: If the first reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration, and the sum of the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration is greater than or equal to the excess gas concentration, then increase the wind speed of the ventilation fan and decrease the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine based on the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration.

[0084] For example, if the controller determines that the first reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration, and the sum of the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration is greater than or equal to the excess gas concentration, it means that by increasing the ventilation speed of the ventilator and reducing the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine according to the target coal mining efficiency, the current gas concentration can be reduced to below the first gas concentration. Therefore, the controller increases the ventilation speed of the ventilator according to the first reducible gas concentration and reduces the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine according to the second reducible gas concentration.

[0085] Step 106: If the sum of the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration, then increase the wind speed of the ventilation fan and decrease the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine based on the first reducible gas concentration.

[0086] For example, if the controller determines that the sum of the first reducible gas concentration and the second reducible gas concentration is less than the excess gas concentration, it means that increasing the ventilation speed of the ventilator and reducing the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine according to the target coal mining efficiency are insufficient to reduce the current gas concentration below the first gas concentration. In order to ensure the safety of the coal mining environment, the target coal mining efficiency is no longer considered. After increasing the ventilator speed according to the first reducible gas concentration, the current gas concentration is reduced to below the first gas concentration by directly reducing the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine.

[0087] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the step of increasing the wind speed of the ventilation fan based on the first method of reducing gas concentration and reducing the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine may further include the following steps:

[0088] Step 401: Based on the first reducible gas concentration, increase the fan speed.

[0089] Step 402: Subtract the excess gas concentration from the first reducible gas concentration to obtain the first differential gas concentration.

[0090] Step 403: Based on the first differential gas concentration, reduce the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine.

[0091] For example, when the controller determines that the first and second reduceable gas concentrations are less than the excess gas concentration, it first increases the ventilation speed of the ventilator based on the first reduceable gas concentration; then it subtracts the excess gas concentration from the first reduceable gas concentration to obtain the first differential gas concentration. The first differential gas concentration needs to be eliminated by reducing the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine. The controller directly determines the second reduceable gas concentration of the coal mining machine based on the relationship between the coal mining speed and the gas concentration.

[0092] In one alternative implementation, based on the first differential gas concentration, the drum speed is preferentially reduced to a minimum threshold, and then the traction speed is reduced.

[0093] In this embodiment of the application, the coal mining speed may include the drum speed and the traction speed related to the movement of the coal mining machine. In actual operation, the lump coal ratio is an important indicator for measuring coal quality. The higher the lump coal ratio, the higher the price of coal. The lump coal ratio is mainly related to the drum speed and traction speed of the coal mining machine. When the traction speed is fixed, the lump coal ratio is inversely proportional to the drum speed. When the traction speed is low, the drum speed has little impact on the lump coal ratio. Therefore, the coal mining machine should operate under the condition of high traction speed and low drum speed.

[0094] For example, when reducing the coal mining speed of the coal mining machine based on the first differential gas concentration, the drum speed can be reduced to the minimum speed threshold first, and then the traction speed of the coal mining machine can be reduced. This can increase the output of lump coal while reducing the gas concentration.

[0095] In one feasible implementation, if the gas concentration detected by the gas sensor is higher than the second gas concentration threshold, an alarm is sent to the management personnel.

[0096] In this embodiment of the application, the second gas concentration threshold refers to a threshold that approaches the safe value of gas concentration, and the second gas concentration threshold is greater than the first gas concentration threshold.

[0097] For example, if the gas concentration detected by the gas sensor is higher than the second gas concentration threshold, it may be due to a problem with the control method described in the above embodiment, or it may be due to a malfunction of the detection device. In this case, the controller sends an alarm to the mobile terminal of the management personnel, prompting the management personnel to perform manual on-site maintenance.
