Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent coal mining, and in particular to a method for straightening a coal mining face based on laser radar inertial navigation fusion positioning. Background Art

[0002] The coal mining machine straightening technology is a key link in the intelligent development of coal mine comprehensive mining working faces. Its background stems from the continuous improvement of coal mine production safety, efficiency and intelligence. In the process of coal mining, due to the complexity of the geological environment of the coal seam, the working face often fluctuates, making it difficult for the coal mining machine to maintain a straight line, which in turn affects the straightness of the coal wall, scraper conveyor and support. This will not only reduce the efficiency and quality of coal mining, but also may cause problems such as low quality of roof support and equipment damage. The establishment of an automatic straightening system for the coal mining working face can realize the intelligent operation of the coal mine comprehensive mining operation production process, and can also effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve the safety and efficiency of coal mine production.

[0003] With the development of technology, a variety of coal mining machine straightening technologies have emerged at home and abroad. However, the existing technologies have the following problems:

[0004] Sensor accuracy problem. The current mainstream coal mining face alignment system is implemented through high-precision inertial navigation (IMU). During long-term use, IMU will gradually produce cumulative errors, resulting in a decrease in its measurement accuracy. Moreover, due to the limitations of the IMU's own principles, it is difficult to quickly calibrate the accuracy of the IMU during the coal mining process. In addition, high-precision IMUs are expensive and do not have a basis for popularization and use.

[0005] Dust environment problem in coal mining face. A large amount of dust is generated during the mining process of the coal mining face. At the same time, the coal mining machine will also spray water mist to reduce dust during the coal mining process. Therefore, the environment of the coal mining face is a mixed environment of dust and water mist. In this environment, the environmental perception effect of optical sensors (such as cameras, lidar, infrared cameras, etc.) is limited, and the accuracy is difficult to reach the preset standard.

[0006] Scene marker problem. In the existing technology, such as the invention patent application CN112762963A, it is necessary to set markers on the side of the tunnel, and the laser radar scans the markers to identify the tunnel side and perform positioning. The alignment system requires the pre-design and construction of the tunnel, and does not have the general adaptability of the tunnel, which limits the application scope and promotion of the alignment system.

[0007] In summary, the existing coal mining machine straightening technology has the problems of low accuracy and poor universality. Summary of the invention
