It is responsible for delivering sufficient fresh air to the underground working areas and timely exhausting the polluted air, thereby creating a good and safe working environment. Traditional mine ventilation systems usually adopt the large main fan mode design, and the total mine air volume far exceeds the actual required air volume. As mining extends deeper, the situation of multiple working faces operating simultaneously and large-scale mining becomes more and more common, and the underground ventilation network becomes extremely complex, and complex ventilation networks such as series, parallel, and diagonal connections are successively formed.
[0003] Under this background, there are many defects in the existing technologies. On the one hand, the rough ventilation mode is difficult to achieve fine dynamic regulation and cannot meet the different air volume requirements generated by the dynamic changes of factors such as personnel, equipment, the number of working points, process types, working states, and blasting operations in underground working places, resulting in extremely difficult calculation and adjustment of the required air volume. On the other hand, the formation of complex ventilation networks makes the ventilation safety problem more prominent, and the existing ventilation management level is difficult to cope with this complex situation, and the effective air volume rate is low, seriously threatening the physical and mental health of underground workers. Therefore, we propose a mine ventilation dynamic regulation method and system based on a spatio-temporal graph convolutional network. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in various different forms. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. In addition, in order to describe the present invention more clearly, components not connected to the invention will be omitted from the drawings; The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology as follows: Embodiment 1: A mine ventilation dynamic regulation method based on a spatio-temporal graph convolutional network, including the following steps: Step 1: Ventilation system modeling and data collection First, it is necessary to construct the digital twin foundation of the mine ventilation system. The roadway is scanned three-dimensionally at high density by lidar (the sampling point spacing is 1 m, and the accuracy is 2 cm), and combined with inertial navigation data to generate a roadway point cloud model with coordinates . Using BIM technology, it is transformed into a ventilation network digital map including topological structures . Based on graph theory, physical entities such as roadway intersections, fans, and air doors are abstracted into a directed weighted graph , where the nodes include key positions. The key positions are specifically the main fan , the intersection point of the return airway and so on, along the representing the ventilation path, whose air resistance is calculated by the Darcy - Weisbach formula: , where take the corresponding value of the roadway roughness (such as 0.018 for shotcrete roadway), is the measured path length, and the equivalent diameter of non - circular roadway , where is the cross - sectional area of the roadway. During the non - production period every month, use UAV LiDAR scanning to monitor the roadway deformation. When the path length change rate is reached, according to correct the topology and recalculate the air resistance matrix and the maximum ventilation volume matrix to ensure the dynamic consistency between the digital model and the physical system.
[0016] In the data acquisition link, for areas where gas is prone to accumulate, specifically, the working face of mining and excavation, the entrance of blind roadway, deploy multi - modal sensor nodes at a spacing of 8m. Each node integrates: A gas concentration sensor, which is an infrared absorption type, with a detection range of 0 - 4%LEL and an accuracy of 0.01%, and a response time of <1s; A hot - film anemometer, with a measurement range of 0 - 30m / s and an accuracy of 0.1m / s and a sampling frequency of 10Hz; A three - axis vibration accelerometer, with a range of 10g and a sampling frequency of 1kHz, used to monitor the status of the fan bearing.
[0017] In the conventional area, specifically, in the transportation roadway and the bottom of the shaft yard, deploy temperature and humidity sensors at a spacing of 25m, with an accuracy of 0.5℃ / 2%RH, and monitor the ambient temperature, humidity and fan power consumption through a current transformer. All sensors are connected to the edge controller through the underground industrial ring network and achieve clock synchronization using the IEEE1588 precise time protocol. The data pre - processing process includes: 1. Outlier filtering: Through a sliding window with a window size of 300s, calculate the mean value and the standard deviation , eliminate the noise points where , and fill them with linear interpolation: , where, when , the data is used as . In addition, the data is processed .
[0018] 2. Normalization processing: Map the multi - source data to Interval, the formula is: , and finally form a multi-dimensional time series dataset containing , , , , and other parameters , where is the total number of sensors.
[0019] By constructing a high-precision digital map and a sensor network, the computability of the spatial structure of the ventilation system and the real-time perception of operating parameters are realized.
[0020] Step 2: Graph Convolutional Network Modeling and Anomaly Prediction Based on the digital topological map and multi-modal time series data generated in Step 1, a spatio-temporal graph convolutional network (ST-GCN) is constructed to extract the spatio-temporal correlation features of the ventilation system. The network is divided into two modules: spatial feature extraction and time series modeling: 1. Spatial Feature Layer: Graph Convolutional Network GCN The first layer of GCN learns the ventilation coupling relationship of the direct neighborhood of the nodes. The input feature matrix fuses the node attributes, specifically, the cross-sectional area of the roadway , the designed air volume and the real-time data of the sensors. Through adding a self-loop adjacency matrix and the degree matrix for normalized propagation: , where represents the ventilation correlation between the node and its direct neighbors, specifically, the direct influence intensity of the increase in the gas concentration at a certain heading face on the adjacent return airway.
[0021] The second layer of GCN captures the cross-regional ventilation influence through the second-order adjacency matrix , and the propagation formula is: , and this layer can learn the indirect influence of the main fan speed change on the entire return air network, specifically, the wind speed change trend in the roadway 200 meters away after the main fan air volume is adjusted.
[0022] 2. Time Series Layer: Bidirectional LSTM and Attention Mechanism The spatial feature sequence output by GCN, where , corresponding to 10-minute data, is input into the bidirectional LSTM network to capture the temporal dependencies of both the past and the future simultaneously. The forward hidden state and the backward hidden state are concatenated into , and the feature weights at each moment are calculated through the attention mechanism: , , where, is a trainable weight vector, and the finally output highlights key time series features such as sudden changes in gas concentration and abnormal fluctuations in wind speed.
[0023] 3. Ventilation Abnormality Assessment and Propagation Path Prediction Based on the comprehensive spatio-temporal feature output, the ventilation state is quantified through a risk assessment model: , where is the regional standard wind speed, which is specifically determined by the "Coal Mine Safety Regulations", is the ideal temperature. When is triggered, an early warning is issued, and the prediction of the abnormal propagation path is started. The improved Dijkstra algorithm is used to search for high-risk paths, and the cost function comprehensively considers wind resistance, path length, and real-time gas concentration: , where , the path probability distribution is generated through 1000 Monte Carlo simulations, and the top 3 paths and their propagation probabilities are output, specifically "coal mining face → return air rise → main return airway", with a probability of 78%.
[0024] Through spatio-temporal joint modeling, an early warning of ventilation abnormality 30 minutes in advance with an accuracy rate of 89% and the prediction of the propagation path are realized. Compared with the lag response of traditional systems that only rely on a single parameter threshold, the risk prediction ability is significantly improved.
[0025] Step 3: Generation and Execution of Ventilation Equipment Coordination Control Strategy Based on the risk index output by the spatio-temporal feature model and the propagation path
[0026] 1. Learning Framework Design State space: , which includes global risk, total air volume, equipment status, and spatio-temporal features, with a dimension , where is the number of fans, is the number of air doors; Action space: , where , ; Reward function: , where is the amount of risk reduction, is the amount of reduction in fan energy consumption; is the change in the equipment loss index, based on the vibration intensity calculated.
[0027] Through 30,000 times of simulation training (simulating scenarios such as gas overrun and fan failure), the intelligent agent learns the control strategies that comply with mining regulations. Specifically, when the gas concentration in a certain area rises to 1.2% LEL, the air inlet fan in this area is preferentially opened wider to 1450 rpm, and at the same time, the air return damper is closed by 20°.
[0028] 2. Regulation Execution and Equipment Control After the decision-making module outputs the optimal action , it is transmitted to the execution layer through the industrial bus (Profibus-DP): Fan speed control: The Bayesian optimization algorithm is used to solve the optimal speed combination , and on the premise of meeting and , the energy consumption function is minimized . The speed closed-loop control is realized through a PID controller: , where , the parameters are tuned to by the Ziegler-Nichols method, , , ensuring that the overshoot of speed regulation is <5% and the regulation time is <10 s.
[0029] Damper opening control: Based on the fuzzy logic algorithm, the risk deviation and the change rate are input, and the opening adjustment amount is output. Specifically, when the error and , the damper is closed by 15° to block the pollution diffusion path, and the action execution time is <8 s and is protected by mechanical limit.
[0030] The intelligent generation of regulation strategies is realized through reinforcement learning. Compared with the traditional manual experience regulation, the strategy generation speed is increased by 3 times, and the energy consumption is reduced by 22%.
[0031] Step 4: Edge Node Calibration and Model Optimization To ensure the accuracy of the long-term operation of the system, a multi-level calibration and iteration mechanism is designed: 1. Sensor and Model Calibration Sensor on-line calibration: The self-calibration program is triggered at 3 am every day. The gas sensor closes the gas path to measure the environmental background value , and the data correction formula is: , when LEL, it is determined that the sensor is faulty and an alarm is issued. The wind speed sensor is calibrated at multiple points through a standard wind tunnel (accuracy 0.05 m / s) every quarter, and the linear equation is fitted , ensure that the measurement error is less than 1.5%.
[0032] Model dynamic correction: Using the underground UWB personnel positioning system (accuracy < 15 cm), collect the coordinates of key points in the roadway every week , when the deviation from the digital map exceeds 20 cm, update the node coordinates by the least squares method: Recalculate the air resistance after the update and the maximum flow rate of the ventilation path , ensure that the topological model is consistent with the actual roadway structure.
[0033] 2. Model iterative optimization Online learning: Use the data of the previous 24 hours (about 17,000 samples) for incremental training every day, adopt the momentum SGD optimizer, where the learning rate , momentum 0.9, update the model parameters, and focus on optimizing the prediction accuracy of abnormal scenarios (such as sudden increase in gas after blasting).
[0034] Adversarial training: Artificially inject simulated abnormal data, specifically, the wind speed suddenly drops by 40% and the sensor signal is interrupted. Through the adversarial loss function Improve the robustness of the model to ensure that reliable decisions can still be output in the presence of data noise or equipment failures.
[0035] Expert review: Organize a joint review of ventilation experts and data scientists every quarter. Based on the Shapley value, analyze the contribution of each feature to the decision-making. Specifically, it is found that the weight of the gas concentration can be adjusted from 0.5 to 0.6 to strengthen the safety priority strategy, and the parameters of the reward function are synchronously adjusted to match the latest safety specifications.
[0036] Step Five: Full-process control and emergency response The system operation follows the closed-loop logic of "monitoring - prediction - decision - execution - feedback", and the specific process is as follows: Initialization phase: After the edge controller is powered on, load the latest digital map and the trained ST-GCN+PPO model, send calibration instructions to all sensors, and synchronize the daily production plan with the ground dispatching center at the same time. Specifically, the advancing speed of the coal mining face, the blasting time window, etc.
[0037] Real-time monitoring phase: The sensor collects data at a frequency of 10 Hz, and after preprocessing, inputs it into the ST-GCN model, and outputs the risk index every 5 minutes and the probability of the abnormal propagation path . If , the system maintains the current ventilation state; if , trigger the reinforcement learning decision-making module.
[0038] Regulation Execution Phase: The PPO model generates the optimal action within 50 ms , after safety verification, specifically after checking the balance between air supply and demand, it is sent to the fan and damper actuators through redundant communication links (fiber optic + wireless Mesh), requiring the instruction to be parsed within 0.3 seconds and the equipment to act within 10 seconds.
[0039] Effect Feedback Phase: After the execution action, the sensor continuously collects data. If within 5 minutes decreases , then this regulation case is stored in the experience pool ; if not up to standard, trigger a secondary decision, adjust the strategy and execute again.
[0040] For extreme abnormal scenarios, the system has a built-in four-level emergency response mechanism: Level 1 Response (gas concentration > 1.5% LEL or risk index ): Automatically block the pollution path: Through the high-risk propagation path predicted by the ST-GCN model, immediately close the dampers within 3 levels upstream. Specifically, close , , cut off the abnormal air flow diffusion channel, and the blocking efficiency needs to be completed within 15 seconds; Start the standby ventilation system: Remotely activate the standby fan to full speed operation (2000 rpm), through the formula , where is the fan air volume coefficient, quickly increase the total air volume to 1.8 times the design value; Intelligent escape guidance: Combine UWB personnel positioning data and issue customized evacuation instructions through the underground broadcast system. Specifically, "Personnel in Mining Area 3, please evacuate along the return air roadway → East Wing Auxiliary Shaft", and at the same time, dynamically display the shortest disaster avoidance route on the roadway LED screen.
[0041] Level 2 Response (sudden equipment failure, fan vibration intensity > 5 m / s 2 ): Fault location and isolation: Through the vibration accelerometer data and the fault knowledge graph, which contains 137 fault modes, locate the faulty equipment within 2 seconds. Specifically, bearing wear, automatically switch to the standby fan and turn off the power of the faulty equipment; Life prediction and maintenance scheduling: Based on the LSTM life prediction model , where m / s 2 is the threshold. If the remaining life < 14 days, automatically generate a maintenance work order and push it to the maintenance team, and at the same time adjust the ventilation network topology to bypass the faulty equipment.
[0042] Level 3 response (abrupt change in air resistance caused by roadway deformation > 20%): Topological automatic reconstruction: Detect roadway deformation through UWB positioning data. Specifically, When the roadway length increases by 30m, trigger the edge controller to update the ventilation network model in real time, recalculate the air resistance and the air volume distribution at each node; Dynamic air pressure balance: Use reinforcement learning to re-optimize the fan speed and damper opening to ensure that the air volume fluctuation in the affected area is < 10%. Specifically, increase the fan speed in the intake airway by 100 rpm, and at the same time open the middle regulating damper by 15° to balance the air pressure.
[0043] Level 4 response (system communication interruption): Edge autonomous mode: The edge controller switches to the offline mode and continues to run based on the locally stored historical model and the data in the last 1 hour, and tries to reconnect to the central system every 10 minutes; Preset strategy execution: If communication is not restored within 30 minutes, automatically enable the preset conservative control strategy. Specifically, maintain the fan speed of all fans at 80% of the rated value and the damper opening at 50° until communication is restored or manual intervention is carried out.
[0044] To ensure the effective monitoring and intervention of the system by operators, a multi-level human-computer interaction interface is designed: Ground command center: Real-time display the ventilation network status through a three-dimensional digital twin large screen, integrate the risk heat map, equipment operation parameters, and abnormal warning information. Specifically, high-risk areas are marked with red flashing, and experts are supported to manually adjust the control strategy by dragging the fan / damper icon, and the system automatically calculates the change in the risk index after manual intervention; Underground mobile terminal: Equip the inspection personnel with explosion-proof tablet computers to real-time display the ventilation parameters within 50m around the current location, and support one-key triggering of local ventilation optimization. Specifically, temporarily increase the air volume at the tunneling face, and the command is sent to the edge controller through the wireless Mesh network within 2 seconds; Alarm and log system: Adopt a hierarchical alarm mechanism (yellow - warning, red - emergency), and synchronously push abnormal information through audible and visual alarms and text messages (to the ground person in charge, safety director). The historical operation logs and control records are stored in the blockchain system to ensure traceability and clear responsibilities.
[0045] In addition, the following verification process is also carried out: Laboratory verification: Deploy a 1:100 scale model in a simulated mine environment, and verify the prediction accuracy of the ST-GCN model for the gas diffusion path by artificially injecting gas (concentration 0 - 2%LEL) and adjusting the fan speed (500 - 1500 rpm). Specifically, the prediction accuracy is 87%, and the energy consumption optimization rate of the PPO strategy reaches 20.1%; Underground pilot test: A three-month trial operation was carried out in a working face of Yangquan Coal Industry to complete the following verifications: Sensor network stability: Continuous operation for 90 days without node failures, and the data integrity rate is 99.8%; Effectiveness of the regulation strategy: Successfully handled 12 cases of gas concentration exceeding the limit (0.85%-1.2%LEL), with an average handling time of 32 seconds, which is 70% shorter than manual regulation; Edge computing performance: Response delay is 0.28 seconds.

The ground command center real - time displays the ventilation network topology, risk heat map, and device status through a three - dimensional digital twin interface, supports experts to manually adjust the fan speed and damper opening through drag - and - drop operations, and the system automatically predicts the change of the risk index after adjustment. The underground mobile terminal is an explosion - proof tablet computer, which real - time displays the ventilation parameters within 50 meters around the patrol personnel and supports one - key triggering of local ventilation optimization instructions. The instructions are sent to the edge controller through the wireless Mesh network within 2 seconds.
[0063] 2. Calibration and Iteration Unit This unit is responsible for sensor calibration and continuous optimization of the model. The zero-point calibration of the sensor is automatically triggered at midnight every day. Specifically, when the background value of the gas sensor reaches the LEL, a fault alarm is triggered; every quarter, the sensitivity of the sensor is calibrated using a standard gas sample and a wind tunnel device to ensure that the measurement error is less than 2%. In terms of model iteration, incremental training is carried out daily using the latest data, and the parameters are updated using the momentum SGD optimizer; every quarter, an expert review is organized, and the weights of the risk assessment formula are adjusted based on the Shapley value analysis to improve the sensitivity of the model to safety risks.
[0064] 3. Emergency Response Unit This unit has a four-level emergency response mechanism built in. In the first-level response, the system automatically closes the upstream air door on the shortest path to the abnormal node and starts the standby fan to run at full speed, and generates a dynamic escape route in combination with UWB personnel positioning; in the second-level response, the faulty equipment is located within 2 seconds and switched to the standby unit; in the third-level response, the ventilation topology is updated in real time and the control strategy is re-optimized; in the fourth-level response, the edge controller switches to the offline mode and executes the preset conservative strategy until the communication is restored.
