[0044] As shown in the figure, the mechanical antenna-based mine emergency positioning method provided by the application specifically comprises the following steps, Figure 1

[0045] According to the distribution information of the electromagnetic field in space, the magnetic induction intensity or the magnetic field intensity of a certain point in the coal mine underground is measured by a measurement base station, and the position information of the target point is calculated based on the magnetic induction intensity or the magnetic field intensity.

[0049] Wherein, B0 is the residual magnetization, j is the imaginary unit, is the wave number, r is the straight line distance from a point in space to the origin, θ is the included angle between the straight line distance and the z axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system of space, is the included angle between the projection of the straight line distance in the oxy plane and the x axis, is three mutually orthogonal direction vectors, the direction along the direction of r, is the distance from a point in space to the z axis as a circle, wherein the tangent direction of the circle is the direction, and the direction is defined according to the right-hand rule along the z axis,

[0050] Further optimization scheme, because the frequency is extremely low, it is considered that the positioning range is all near field communication, the first magnetic field distribution formula is simplified to obtain a second magnetic field distribution formula:

[0051]

[0052] Wherein, μ0=4π×10 -7 N·A -2 is the permeability in vacuum, and m0 is the magnetic dipole moment.

[0053] ​​​​Further optimization scheme, the process of measuring the magnetic induction intensity or the magnetic field intensity of a certain point in the coal mine underground by the base station includes,

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 , by taking the signal source as the origin of the coordinate system o1x1y1z1 and taking the measurement base station as the origin of the coordinate system o2x2y2z2, in the representation of polar coordinate system, based on the second magnetic field distribution formula, the magnetic induction intensity vector of three directions of the polar coordinate system is derived to obtain the magnetic induction intensity vector of three directions of the rectangular coordinate system , (B x1 , B y1 , B z1 ) is obtained as follows:

[0055]

[0056] Further optimization scheme, the process of calculating the position information of the target point based on the magnetic induction intensity or the magnetic field intensity includes,

[0057] When measuring the magnetic induction intensity of the dynamic magnetic field by the fluxgate, the fluxgate measurement data and the fluxgate effective measurement data

[0058] According to the fluxgate measurement data and the fluxgate effective measurement data , the position information of the target point can be obtained by solving the solution of the following equation based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm.

[0059]

[0060] Further optimization scheme, the calculation expression of the fluxgate effective measurement data is:

[0061]

[0062] Wherein, is the induction intensity along the x-axis direction measured by the fluxgate, is the induction intensity along the y-axis direction measured by the fluxgate, is the induction intensity along the z-axis direction measured by the fluxgate, and V is the volume of the rotating permanent magnet.

[0063] Further optimization scheme, according to the fluxgate measurement data and the fluxgate effective measurement data , the process of calculating the position information of the target point based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm includes,

[0064] Random particles are initialized based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm, and the optimal estimation solution is obtained by iteratively updating the speed and position of the particles. In each iteration process, the particles are updated by the first optimal estimation solution found by themselves and the second optimal estimation solution found by the whole particle swarm.

[0065] In the embodiment, a D-dimensional search space is composed of a colony of n particles. Each particle is represented as a D-dimensional vector x i = (x i1 , x i2 ,... x iD ), i = 1, 2,... n, where i = 1, 2,... n. In addition, each particle also has a corresponding D-dimensional velocity vector v i = (v i1 , v i2 ,... v iD ), i = 1, 2,... n. The current optimal estimation solution of particle i is P best = (P i1 , P i2 ,... P iD ), i = 1, 2,... n, and the optimal estimation solution found by the whole particle swarm is g best = (P g1 , P g2 ,... P gD ). When updating the speed and position of the particles, the following formula is used:

[0066]

[0067]

[0068] where c1 and c2 are learning factors, which determine the influence of the particle itself and other particles on the particle; w is an inertia factor, r1 and r2 are random numbers in the range of (0, 1), i = 1, 2,... n is the speed of the particle at the k (k = 1, 2,... m)th update or iteration.

[0069] The parameters of the PSO algorithm used in the embodiment are as follows:

[0070] n = 40, c1 = 3, c2 = 3, w = 0.01, m = 500,

[0071] The pseudo code of the algorithm is listed as shown in Table 1 for clearer representation:

[0072] Table 1

[0073]

[0074] The setting of learning factors has a decisive influence on the search behavior and convergence speed of the estimated solution. If c1 is set to be larger, the estimated solution will search in a local range, and if c2 is set to be larger, the estimated solution will converge too early. In order to balance the relationship between global search and local search, the PSO-X model of the embodiment introduces a compression factor φ to achieve more flexible and controllable estimated solution search and algorithm convergence effect. Through appropriate parameter selection, this method can ensure that the PSO algorithm can converge within a reasonable time.

[0075]

[0076]

[0077] Wherein, c1+c2>4, c1=3 and c2=3.

[0078] Further optimization scheme, mine collapse after the positioning method is as follows:

[0079] (1) according to the probe placement position, the probe is placed at position 1, position 2, position 3, position 4 and the distance and magnetic induction intensity are measured. Figure 1

[0080] (2) the origin coordinates of positioning are the measured base station position of position 1, the accurate coordinate origin of the measured base station is shown as in the figure, and the coordinate position of the rotating permanent magnet type mechanical antenna is the rotating center. Figure 4

[0081] (3) after recording the data, the data is imported into the above algorithm, and the position information of the repositioned target point can be obtained.

[0082] The mechanical antenna used in the application uses mechanical method to excite magnetic dipole, and generates low-frequency electromagnetic wave. According to the electromagnetic wave attenuation formula, the electromagnetic wave attenuates more slowly when the frequency is low, so it has strong penetration and can directly penetrate the buried layer. In the emergency state, signal transmission can be realized without base station, and then positioning is realized.

[0083] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the application, but the protection scope of the application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the application. Therefore, the protection scope of the application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.​​
