Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of coal mine tunnel surveying and mapping, and relates to a handheld intrinsically safe real-view scanner for mining and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of modern mining technology, especially the move toward robotic and unmanned operations, the need for efficient and accurate mapping of underground tunnels is becoming increasingly prominent. In coal and other mining operations, establishing realistic 3D models of underground tunnels and constructing digital maps has become a crucial means of improving mining efficiency, ensuring operational safety, and optimizing resource management.

[0003] Realistic 3D models can intuitively display detailed information such as the structural layout, spatial dimensions, and surface texture of underground tunnels. This is crucial for miners to better understand the distribution of underground resources, plan mining routes, and improve mining efficiency. Furthermore, digital maps, as the foundation for autonomous robot navigation, provide static global map information, enabling robots to implement automated path planning and obstacle avoidance, significantly reducing operational risks and improving safety.

[0004] However, in the unique context of coal mine tunnels, traditional surveying equipment faces numerous challenges. While traditional surveying methods, such as total stations, can capture certain spatial point information, they suffer from issues such as bulky equipment, complex operation, and inefficient data collection. Total stations require the continuous installation of control points from the surface to underground to acquire measurement data. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also yields relatively small amounts of data, making it difficult to meet the requirements for building realistic 3D models.

[0005] In recent years, with the continuous development of 3D laser scanning technology, devices such as handheld 3D laser scanners and stand-mounted 3D laser scanners have gradually been adopted in the surveying and mapping field. These devices can quickly acquire dense point data, providing strong technical support for constructing real-world 3D models. However, the application of such devices in coal mine tunnels is significantly limited. Due to the presence of flammable and explosive gases in coal mine tunnels, the explosion-proof performance of the equipment is extremely high. However, most 3D laser scanners currently on the market lack coal mine explosion-proof capabilities, making them unsuitable for direct application in coal mine tunnels.

[0006] To address these challenges, developing a handheld, intrinsically safe, real-world scanner suitable for use in coal mine tunnels is crucial. This scanner must not only possess efficient data acquisition capabilities to build realistic 3D models, but also possess intrinsically safe, explosion-proof performance to ensure safe operation in the unique environment of coal mine tunnels. Therefore, researching and developing a handheld, intrinsically safe, real-world scanner for use in coal mines and its use method are crucial for promoting the development of intelligent, unmanned mining technology.

[0060] Hardware solution:

[0061] The circuit block diagram of the present invention is as follows Figure 5 As shown, it mainly includes an environment scanning module, an internal sensing module, a control module, a rotation drive module and a power supply module.

[0062] The environmental scanning module includes a mine-use intrinsically safe laser radar level sensor 43 and a camera 7. The mine-use intrinsically safe laser radar level sensor 43 is used to obtain spatial point information of the environment. It is powered by an independent intrinsically safe power supply and transmits point cloud data to the acquisition and processing board 25 via an Ethernet cable. The camera 7 is used to obtain color and texture information of the environment and is powered by a USB cable and transmits image data to the acquisition and processing board 25.

[0063] The internal sensing module includes a posture sensor 24 and an encoder. The posture sensor 24 is used to obtain data such as the device's posture angle, angular velocity, and linear velocity. It is powered by a USB and transmits the data to the acquisition and processing board 25. The encoder is used to obtain the rotation angle of the mining intrinsically safe laser radar level sensor 43. It is powered by a USB and transmits the data to the acquisition and processing board 25.

[0064] The control module includes an acquisition and processing board 25, a peripheral processing board 14, and a network port splitter 22. It is powered by an independent intrinsically safe power supply and provides a data file interface in the form of an external network port 27. The acquisition and processing board 25 is responsible for collecting, storing, and processing control signals from the environmental scanning module and the internal sensing module. The peripheral processing board 14 is responsible for power supply voltage conversion, signal acquisition from the acquisition button 32, and LED display of device status signals. The network port splitter 22 expands the network port of the acquisition and processing board 25, providing a data download network port for the scanner.

[0065] The rotation drive module includes a motor drive board 21 and a stepper motor. It is powered by an independent intrinsically safe power supply and receives signals from an external start button 29 to start and stop the rotation. The motor drive board 21 receives signals from the start button 29 to control the start and stop of the stepper motor and its speed. The stepper motor, through a reduction gear mechanism, drives the mining intrinsically safe laser radar level sensor 43 at a predetermined speed.

[0066] The power supply module includes three sets of mining intrinsically safe power supplies, which independently provide power to the control module, the rotation drive module and the mining intrinsically safe laser radar level sensor 43 through three cables.

[0067] Example 2,

[0068] Software solution:

[0069] The data acquisition software is installed and runs on the acquisition processing board 25 in the scanner, and includes four functional modules: system self-test, data subscription, data recording, and acquisition control. It is mainly used for data subscription, inspection, recording, and acquisition process control of the laser radar 43, attitude sensor 24, camera 7, and encoder.

[0070] The laser radar 43 adopts an intrinsically safe laser radar level sensor.

[0071] System self-check module: By optimizing the underlying driver of the sensor, establishing the sensor status topic, obtaining the sensor status in real time, and realizing real-time self-check of the sensor status.

[0072] Data subscription module: Use topic communication to realize subscription to sensor data.

[0073] Data recording module: uses the recording package function to store sensor data in blocks as data recording files.

[0074] The acquisition control module reads the status of the acquisition button 32 from the IO port of the acquisition processing board 25 to control the start and stop of the acquisition task and implement segmented acquisition. The status indicator light is set to be on, flashing, or off by controlling the IO port level of the acquisition processing board 25.

[0075] like Figure 6As shown in the figure, after the scanner is powered on, the data acquisition software is automatically started.

[0076] After the data acquisition software is started, the system self-test module is first run. If the sensor is normal, the data subscription module is started, and the indicator light is always on to prompt the user to start data collection. Otherwise, the indicator light corresponding to the faulty sensor flashes, and the scanner needs to be powered off for maintenance.

[0077] When the user presses the acquisition button 32, the data acquisition software activates the data recording module, blocks the sensor data into data log files, and sets the acquisition indicator to a flashing state. The software checks the storage space on the acquisition and processing board 25. If insufficient, the software automatically saves the data log file, terminates acquisition, and turns off the acquisition indicator. Otherwise, the software checks whether the user has pressed the acquisition button 32. If the acquisition button 32 has not been pressed, sensor data recording continues. Otherwise, the data storage module saves the data log file, and the acquisition indicator remains on. After the acquisition indicator remains on, the user can press the acquisition button 32 again to start the next acquisition, or turn off the power to terminate the program.

[0078] Example 3,

[0079] Directions:

[0080] 1. Preparation and inspection before use

[0081] Before use, press the switch on the mine-grade intrinsically safe power supply on the control module to power on the scanner's control module. Turn off the other two power supplies. After all the indicators on the peripheral processing board light up, connect the scanner directly to the computer using a network cable. Set the computer's IP address to ensure it is on the same network segment as the scanner's IP address. Delete the historical data stored on the scanner using an FTP client.

[0082] 2. Turn on the power

[0083] Connect the three-terminal plug of the power supply line to three sets of mine-use intrinsically safe power supplies, and connect the single-terminal plug to the handheld scanner. Then press the power switches of the three mine-use intrinsically safe power supplies to power the handheld scanner.

[0084] 3. Check Status

[0085] After the handheld scanner receives power, the system performs a self-check, and the indicator lights illuminate sequentially. If all indicators remain on, the system is normal and data collection can begin. If a sensor indicator flashes, the corresponding sensor data is abnormal and the three mine-grade intrinsically safe power supplies should be disconnected, and data collection should be stopped for maintenance.

[0086] 4. Collect data

[0087] Before data collection, press the rotation start button on the left front of the scanner to trigger the motor drive board to control the stepper motor to drive the mining laser radar 43 to rotate at a constant speed. Then, press the acquisition button 32 on the left rear of the scanner. When the acquisition indicator light flashes, it indicates that data collection has begun. After data collection is completed, press the acquisition button 32 again. The acquisition indicator light will stay on, indicating that the data collection is complete. During the collection process, if the sensor indicator light flashes, it means that the corresponding sensor data is abnormal. Press the acquisition button 32 to end the collection, disconnect the three mining intrinsically safe power supplies, and stop the scanning operation.

[0088] 5. Disconnect the power supply

[0089] After the scanning operation is completed, press the control module power C, laser radar power L, and drive module power M in sequence to power off the scanner.

[0090] 6. Download data

[0091] After data collection is complete, press the switch on the control module's intrinsically safe power supply C to power the scanner. The scanner can then be connected to the computer via either a wired or wireless connection. For wired connections, connect the handheld scanner directly to the computer using an Ethernet cable. For wireless connections, connect the computer to the scanner's Wi-Fi. Once the computer is connected to the scanner, use the computer's FTP client to download the data log files from the scanner. Multiple data collections are sequentially stored in the scanner as separate data log files. After data download is complete, press the switch on the control module's intrinsically safe power supply C to shut down the scanner.

[0092] The present invention distributes and combines the power of various electrical components of the scanner, and divides the mining intrinsically safe laser radar level sensor 43, the drive module and the control module into three independent external intrinsically safe power supplies, so that the entire scanner has intrinsically safe explosion-proof capabilities and can adapt to the use requirements of explosive environments such as coal mine tunnels; by integrating the camera 7 into the scanner handle assembly 6, the texture and color information of the environment can be synchronously collected during the laser radar scanning, providing basic image data for the subsequent construction of the real-scene model; the three groups of mining intrinsically safe power supplies of the power supply module are separated from the scanner body, which reduces the weight of the scanner; the handle assembly 6 is designed to be pluggable, which is easy to carry and install.

[0093] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
