Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mine monitoring and communication technology, and in particular to a mining area personnel position management system. Background Art
[0002] With the current development of the mining industry, the production focus of mining areas has shifted more to safe production, and the difficulty of safe production lies in the location management of personnel in the mining area;
[0003] Due to the large area of the mining area, complex terrain and deep mines, the mobile network cannot provide comprehensive coverage. Therefore, miners in the mining area cannot report their location to the main station in time. If a natural disaster causes the mine to collapse, or some equipment collapses due to a construction accident, trapping or injuring miners, or if miners faint due to illness, affecting their movements, all of these may cause harm to their health.
[0004] The current personnel location management system generally determines the location of personnel in the mining area by binding wireless transmitters to personnel in the mining area, and then receiving signals through the wireless receiver of the host. However, due to the large area of the mining area, the wireless signal needs to go through multiple interferences to reach the wireless receiver, and the host needs to receive multiple wireless signals, which makes the host's positioning of personnel in the mining area very vague and unable to accurately locate, thereby increasing the difficulty and efficiency of subsequent searches for personnel in the mining area.
[0005] The Chinese patent with publication number CN103293513A discloses a personnel positioning system and positioning method for underground coal mines based on the complementarity of RSS and TOA. A directional antenna is used to determine the direction of personnel, and the RSS method is used to detect the distance information between the personnel positioning card reader and the identification card in the detection area where the RSS method has high accuracy but the TOA method may not be able to detect the situation. The TOA method with high accuracy is used in other areas to detect the distance information between the personnel positioning card reader and the identification card, and the positioning information including the identity information of the personnel in the underground coal mine is generated and output, so as to realize the accurate positioning of personnel in the underground coal mine and reduce the missed reading rate of the positioning system.
[0006] However, the positioning card and positioning card reader in this method still need to transmit signals over long distances, and even with the assistance of software algorithms, the positioning accuracy will still be affected. Summary of the invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mining area personnel position management system, which can accurately locate the positions of mining area personnel.
[0008] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0009] A mine personnel location management system, including a positioning card, a positioning substation, a host and auxiliary equipment.
[0010] Each positioning card is carried by a corresponding mining personnel and is used to send a unique location signal at regular intervals;
[0011] The positioning substations are distributed at key locations in the mining area and are used to receive signals from positioning cards;
[0012] The host is used to receive data from the positioning substation and locate personnel in the mining area using a software algorithm based on ToA and RSSI;
[0013] The auxiliary equipment includes a network switch, a power box, an antenna, an electric cable, an optical cable, a junction box and a lightning arrester, which are used to locate the connection between the substation and the host, and to improve the signal receiving function of the substation or the host.
[0014] Furthermore, the distribution areas of the positioning substations are wellheads, tunnels, mining working faces and refuge caverns, and the interval between two adjacent positioning substations in a tunnel is 30-50m, and the number of positioning substations in a mining working face is 2-3.
[0015] Furthermore, the specific positioning steps of the software algorithm based on ToA and RSSI include:
[0016] S1. Data preprocessing;
[0017] S2. Use RSSI method to preliminarily locate the personnel in the mining area and obtain a preliminary location estimate;
[0018] S3. Based on the preliminary position, use the ToA method to perform precise positioning;
[0019] S4. Perform anomaly detection on precise location;
[0020] S5. If the abnormal detection result is abnormal, it is necessary to correct the precise position or directly issue an alarm;
[0021] S6. If the abnormality detection result is normal, the precise position is output.
[0022] Furthermore, the specific calculation formula of the RSS I method is:
[0023] P r (d) = P t +G t +G r -20log 10 (d)-20log 10 (f)-32.44
[0024] Among them, P r(d) is the received signal strength at distance d, P t is the transmit power, G t and G r are the transmitting and receiving antenna gains, d is the distance, and f is the signal frequency;
[0025] Based on the distance d, the preliminary position (x0, y0, z0) is calculated using the least squares method or trilateration.
[0026] Furthermore, the specific calculation formula of the ToA method is:
[0027] Calculate the distance d from the positioning card to each substation i :
[0028] d i =c(t i -t0)
[0029] Where c is the speed of light, t i is the time when the signal arrives at the i-th positioning substation, and t0 is the sending time;
[0030] The position coordinates (x, y, z) of the positioning card are:
[0031]
[0032] Where (x i ,y i ,z i ) is the coordinate of the ith positioning substation, and the initial position (x0, y0, z0) is the initial value calculated by the formula.
[0033] Furthermore, the anomaly detection process includes:
[0034] S41. Detect the sudden change of RSS I value to determine whether there is signal interference or equipment failure;
[0035] S42. Detection position mutations to determine whether there is a multipath effect or other interference.
[0036] Furthermore, the correction process of step S5 includes:
[0037] S51. For RSSI value mutation, position correction is used to eliminate the abnormality;
[0038] S52. For sudden changes in the detection position, an alarm is directly issued.
[0039] Furthermore, the management system also includes a portable locator for independently measuring each locator card when off-grid and displaying the position of the locator card.
[0040] Furthermore, the positioning card has the function of receiving emergency evacuation commands, sound, light and vibration alarms.
[0041] Furthermore, the host has the function of issuing an emergency alarm when the positioning card remains stationary for a long time.
[0042] The technical solution of the present invention has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0043] The present invention discloses a mine personnel location management system, which uses a one-to-one binding between a positioning card and a mine personnel, so that the location signals received by the subsequent positioning substation and the host are all unique signals, thereby facilitating the independent positioning of each mine personnel position and improving the accuracy of the positioning of the mine personnel;
[0044] As a signal relay point, the positioning substation has a certain signal receiving range, and the received positioning card signal is subject to low interference, which ensures the quality of the signal transmitted to the host, allowing the host to make accurate judgments on the location of mining personnel based on high-quality signals.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0052] Example 1
[0053] As attached Figure 1 The mine personnel location management system shown in the figure includes a positioning card 1, a positioning substation 2, a host 3 and auxiliary equipment 4.
[0054] Each positioning card 1 is carried by a corresponding mining personnel and is used to send a unique location signal at regular intervals;
[0055] That is, each positioning card 1 sends the location information of a mining personnel, so that the location signals received by the subsequent positioning substation 2 and the host 3 are unique signals, thereby facilitating the independent positioning of each mining personnel and improving the accuracy of the positioning of mining personnel;
[0056] The positioning substation 2 is distributed at key locations in the mining area and is used to receive signals from the positioning card 1;
[0057] Each positioning substation 2 has a certain signal receiving range. After receiving the location information sent by a positioning card 1, the positioning substation 2 will directly send the location information to the host 3;
[0058] The host 3 is used to receive data from the positioning substation 2 and locate personnel in the mining area using a software algorithm based on ToA and RSS I;
[0059] The host 3 stores the position coordinates of each positioning substation 2 in advance, so that after receiving the positioning card 1 data sent by the positioning substation 2, the distance and direction information between the positioning card 1 and the corresponding positioning substation 2 are calculated, and the positioning card 1, that is, the specific position coordinates of the mining personnel can be obtained;
[0060] It should be noted that in a mining area, generally multiple positioning substations 2 receive the signal of the same positioning card 1 at the same time. In this case, the host 3 can obtain accurate positioning results by analyzing the distance between the positioning card 1 signal and each positioning substation 2, and then performing comprehensive calculations.
[0061] The auxiliary equipment 4 includes a network switch, a power supply box, an antenna, an electric cable, an optical cable, a junction box and a lightning arrester, and is used to locate the connection between the substation 2 and the host 3, and to improve the signal receiving function of the substation 2 or the host 3;
[0062] The network switch is used to complete the network connection between multiple positioning substations 2 and the host 3;
[0063] The power supply box is used to supply power to the positioning substation 2, and each positioning substation 2 is provided with a power supply box;
[0064] The antenna is a device used by the positioning substation 2 to receive the signal from the positioning card 1. Since the positioning card 1 generally transmits wireless signals, the antenna is needed to enhance the ability of the positioning substation 2 to receive wireless signals.
[0065] The electrical and optical cables are used to locate the network connection between the substation 2 and the host 3;
[0066] The junction box is used to organize the various wires connected to the host 3;
[0067] The lightning arrester is used to improve the lightning protection capability of the positioning substation 2. Because for mining areas in mountainous areas, some positioning substations 2 may need to be installed at higher positions, making them vulnerable to lightning strikes. The lightning arrester can increase the service life of the positioning substation 2 and reduce the damage rate.
[0068] In addition, the distribution area of the positioning substation 2 is the wellhead, tunnel, mining working face and refuge cavern, and the interval between two adjacent positioning substations 2 in the tunnel is 30-50m, and the number of positioning substations 2 in the mining working face is 2-3;
[0069] The positioning substation 2 should cover all key areas of the entire mining area to ensure that there are no blind spots. It should be noted that the positioning substation 2 is set at a high point in each area to improve the anti-interference ability of the positioning substation 2;
[0070] In addition, additional positioning substations 2 should be set up at key locations such as intersections and branch points of the tunnel to ensure the positioning accuracy of personnel at these locations; in areas with severe multipath effects (such as curved tunnels, a large number of metal equipment, etc.), the density of positioning substations 2 should be appropriately increased so that the subsequent host 3 can have more reference information when performing positioning, thereby reducing positioning errors.
[0071] In addition, the management system also includes a portable locator for independently measuring each locating card 1 when off-grid and displaying the position of the locating card 1 .
[0072] According to needs, the positioning card 1 has the functions of receiving emergency evacuation orders, sound, light and vibration alarms.
[0073] In addition, the host 3 has the function of issuing an emergency alarm when the positioning card 1 remains stationary for a long time.
[0074] It should be noted that the system can also have:

[0233] Example 2
[0234] The specific positioning steps of the software algorithm based on ToA and RSS I include:
[0235] S1. Data preprocessing;
[0236] The preprocessing process includes:
[0237] S11. Use filters to remove signal noise and improve signal quality;
[0238] S12. Ensure that the clocks of all positioning substations 2 are synchronized to reduce time errors;
[0239] S2. Use RSSI method to preliminarily locate the personnel in the mining area and obtain a preliminary location estimate;
[0240] The specific calculation formula of the RSSI method is:
[0241] P r (d) = P t +G t +G r -20log 10 (d)-20log 10 (f)-32.44
[0242] Among them, P r (d) is the received signal strength at distance d, P t is the transmit power, G t and G r are the transmitting and receiving antenna gains, d is the distance, and f is the signal frequency;
[0243] Based on the distance d, calculate the preliminary position (x0, y0, z0) using the least squares method or trilateration method;
[0244] S3. Based on the preliminary position, use the ToA method to perform precise positioning;
[0245] The specific calculation formula of the ToA method is:
[0246] Calculate the distance d from positioning card 1 to each substation i :
[0247] d i =c(t i -t0)
[0248] Where c is the speed of light, t i is the time when the signal arrives at the i-th positioning substation 2, and t0 is the sending time;
[0249] The position coordinates (x, y, z) of positioning card 1 are:
[0250]
[0251] Where (x i ,y i ,z i ) is the coordinate of the i-th positioning substation 2, and the initial position (x0, y0, z0) is the initial value calculated by the formula;
[0252] It should be noted that when using the ToA method for fine positioning, an initial estimate is usually required to start the positioning algorithm. The preliminary position information can be used as this initial estimate to help the algorithm converge to the correct position faster, that is, the preliminary position (x0, y0, z0) calculated by the RSSI method. In this way, the ToA algorithm can start from a starting point close to the actual position, rather than from a random starting point, thereby speeding up the convergence speed and improving the positioning accuracy.
[0253] In addition, in some cases, the preliminary position information can be used as a constraint to help eliminate some impossible solutions. For example, if the preliminary position indicates that positioning card 1 is in a certain area, then during fine positioning, only positioning substation 2 in this area can be considered, and substations in other areas can be ignored, thereby reducing the amount of calculation and improving positioning accuracy. Moreover, the preliminary position information can also be used as a means to verify the results of fine positioning. If the results of fine positioning are very different from the preliminary position, the accuracy of the fine positioning results may be questioned, thereby triggering further verification or repositioning.
[0254] S4. Perform anomaly detection on precise location;
[0255] The anomaly detection process includes:
[0256] S41. Detect the sudden change of RSS I value to determine whether there is signal interference or equipment failure. Generally, statistical methods (such as mean and standard deviation) can be used to detect outliers;
[0257] S42. Detect sudden changes in position to determine whether there is a multipath effect or other interference. Generally, historical data can be used for comparison to determine whether the current position is reasonable, or a motion model can be introduced to predict the movement trajectory of personnel and detect abnormal behavior;
[0258] S5. If the abnormal detection result is abnormal, it is necessary to correct the precise position or directly issue an alarm;
[0259] The correction process includes:
[0260] S51. For RSS I value mutation, position correction is used to eliminate the abnormality;
[0261] When correcting the position, the multipath effect model is first established.
[0262] By placing multiple reference points at different locations in the mine, each reference point has a known precise position, and using positioning card 1 to send signals at these reference points, the RSSI value and ToA value of each reference point are recorded. Then, features such as RSSI value, ToA value and environmental information of the reference point (such as tunnel width, height, obstacle type, etc.) are extracted from the collected data, and finally a multipath effect model is trained using a machine learning algorithm (such as support vector machine, neural network). By inputting RSSI value, ToA value and environmental features into the multipath effect model, the model can output the deviation between the actual distance and the calculated distance.
[0263] According to the multipath effect model, the deviation Δd between the actual distance and the calculated distance of each positioning card 1 is calculated, that is, Δd = d actual -d RSSI
[0264] Then combine the calculated (x, y, z) with the deviation value Δd to correct the final position:
[0265]
[0266] in, It is the unit direction vector from positioning card 1 to positioning substation 2.
[0267] S52. For sudden changes in the detection position, an alarm is directly issued.
[0268] S6. If the abnormality detection result is normal, the precise position is output.
[0269] According to this embodiment 2, an example of calculating the position coordinates of the positioning card 1 is given:
[0270] First, assume that there are three positioning substations 2, namely: A (0, 0, 0,), B (10, 0, 0,) and C (0, 10, 0), and the position of the positioning card 1 that needs to be determined is: (x, y, z).
[0271] Then the initial distance d from the positioning card 1 to each positioning substation 2 is determined by RSSI A0 , d B0 , d C0 , and d A0 =5 m, d B0 =7m, d C0 =8m;
[0272] The preliminary position is then calculated using trilateration:
[0273]
[0274] Substituting the known coordinates and distances:
[0275]
[0276] The solution is:
[0277]
[0278] That is, the initial position (x0, y0, z0) is: (3.8, 3.05, 0);
[0279] Next, the accurate distance from positioning card 1 to each positioning substation 2 is obtained by the ToA method: d A ,d B ,d C
[0280] And d A =5.1 m, d A =7.2 m, d A =8.1 m;
[0281] Use the least squares method to calculate the exact position coordinates, specifically:
[0282]
[0283] After substituting the known coordinates and distances:
[0284]
[0285] The preliminary position (3.8, 3.05, 0) is used as the initial estimate, and then the least squares problem is solved by a numerical optimization method. The final position obtained by the numerical optimization method is (x, y, z) = (3.9, 3.1, 0).
