[0002] According to the Chinese patent No. "CN118190550A" discloses an intelligent sampling system for plant coal, which relates to the technical field of intelligent sampling, and comprises: a coal information acquisition module for acquiring coal information; a sampling scheme determination module for determining a sampling scheme according to the coal information; a drive control module for controlling the work of the plant coal sampling device based on the sampling scheme; an actual sampling information acquisition module for acquiring actual sampling information of the plant coal sampling device; a packing information acquisition module for acquiring sample barrel information packed by the plant coal sampling device; a main control module connected with the coal information acquisition module, the sampling scheme determination module, the actual sampling information acquisition module and the packing information acquisition module, and a monitoring terminal in communication connection with the main control module.

[0003] According to the Chinese patent No. "CN117055443A" discloses a centralized control method for plant coal sampling machine, which relates to the field of centralized control of sampling machines. The IC card reader of the sampling machine reads information in the IC card. Five sampling machine card readers are connected to the NCOM series serial server through RS485 communication mode. The serial server converts the RS485 serial signal into TCP / IP network signal. The NCOM series serial server network signal is output to the industrial computer. The industrial computer obtains each serial port information through virtual serial port service management software. The interface program reads and identifies the relevant information of the serial port. The interface program processes the vehicle information. Five sampling machine card readers are connected through the serial server. The lower computer Botu software communicates with the field equipment.

[0004] The above patent documents and prior art have the following technical problems in use: Problem one, the existing plant coal sampling method mostly uses fixed interval sampling, which cannot dynamically adjust the sampling frequency according to the real-time changes of coal quality parameters.

Secondly, the existing coal sampling system in a plant usually relies on preset static parameters and rules, lacks adaptive adjustment capability, and is difficult to cope with complex and variable environmental conditions. When the coal quality or environment changes unexpectedly, the sampling strategy cannot be optimized in time, resulting in unstable performance, increased sampling result deviation, low intelligence of traditional methods, lack of real-time data driving and model optimization capability, and inability to meet the demand of modern coal industry for efficient and intelligent quality control.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0011] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Specific embodiment 1 like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the intelligent control method of the unattended sampling machine for incoming coal includes the following steps: Establish a multi-dimensional perception and collaborative sampling system: First, by establishing a multi-dimensional perception and collaborative sampling system, a multi-dimensional perception collaborative network is used to realize comprehensive real-time collection of coal quality parameters. The system deploys a variety of sensors including spectral polarization analyzers, ultrasonic array detectors, electromagnetic field sensors and dynamic infrared thermal imagers on the sampling machine, which are arranged around the sampling machine in a "ring-matrix" manner to form a perception field with full-view coverage, ensuring 360-degree monitoring of the coal flow state without blind spots; the spectral polarization analyzer uses polarization technology to detect the surface characteristics (such as texture and roughness), chemical composition (such as carbon and sulfur content) and microstructure (such as crystal arrangement) of coal particles, providing richer data dimensions than traditional spectrometers; the ultrasonic array detector constructs a three-dimensional map of the particle size distribution and density of the coal flow by emitting and receiving ultrasonic waves at multiple points, accurately capturing physical properties; the electromagnetic field sensor detects water in the coal The distribution characteristics of coal, ash and metal impurities provide key parameters for coal quality assessment; the dynamic infrared thermal imager captures changes in the temperature field of the coal flow in real time and identifies potential anomalies such as the risk of spontaneous combustion; these sensors work together, and the collected multi-dimensional data achieve synchronization and consistency through timestamp alignment and spatial calibration, forming a multi-source heterogeneous data set, providing reliable input for subsequent intelligent decision-making; when the system starts, historical data is used to pre-train related algorithms (such as DFASA, MPAI and ASPO), and initial parameters and thresholds are set to ensure that the perception system can quickly adapt to actual working conditions. The entire process significantly improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of coal quality parameter monitoring through high-precision data collection through the multi-dimensional perception collaborative network, laying a solid foundation for intelligent sampling, while reducing the risk of misjudgment due to the limitations of a single sensor, and has the effect of improving sampling representativeness and reducing subsequent analysis errors.
[0013] Set up a hierarchical intelligent computing architecture: On the basis of multi-dimensional perception data collection, set up a hierarchical intelligent computing architecture, realize efficient data processing and decision-making through the collaborative work of edge computing layer and cloud intelligent layer; Deploy edge computing modules and communication equipment on the sampling machine, the edge computing layer uses high-performance embedded processors, responsible for real-time data processing (such as data filtering and feature extraction), lightweight decision-making (such as preliminary sampling trigger) and immediate response (such as abnormal alarm), to ensure low-latency operation; The cloud intelligent layer is connected through the 5G network, responsible for complex model training (such as deep learning model update), global optimization (such as sampling strategy adjustment) and long-term trend analysis (such as coal quality change prediction), providing high-precision computing support; Dynamic task migration mechanism is the core of the architecture, according to the computing load (such as data processing volume) and network condition (such as bandwidth and delay), adaptively allocate tasks between edge computing layer and cloud intelligent layer, for example, when the edge layer load is too high or the network is smooth, migrate complex computing tasks to the cloud, otherwise, prefer local processing, to ensure the balance between low latency and high precision in the system; In the running process, the edge layer receives the collected real-time data, generates feature vectors after preliminary processing, uploads to the cloud if further optimization is needed, the cloud completes model training and pushes updated parameters back to the edge layer, the whole process is seamless, the hierarchical collaborative mechanism optimizes the utilization of computing resources, reduces system latency, improves decision-making efficiency and response speed, and enhances the scalability and adaptability of the system through cloud support, providing efficient computing guarantee for subsequent steps.
[0014] Use dynamic fluctuation adaptive sampling algorithm (DFASA): Based on the collected coal quality parameter data and edge computing support, use dynamic fluctuation adaptive sampling algorithm (DFASA) to dynamically adjust the sampling frequency and strategy, realize targeted sampling; Use dynamic fluctuation adaptive sampling algorithm to analyze coal quality parameters (such as density, particle size, moisture) in real time, ; Use sliding window to evaluate parameter change amplitude, and use lightweight trend prediction model (LTPM) to predict fluctuation trend based on first and second derivatives, combine with environmental variables (such as conveyor belt speed) to calculate sampling trigger function, ; When when the fluctuation intensity is greater than a preset threshold (T), triggering the sampling operation; the LTPM model runs in the edge layer to ensure real-time performance, the initial parameters are pre-trained by historical data and updated regularly by a self-evolution parameter optimization framework (SEPO), during the running process, the DFASA first receives multi-dimensional data, the edge layer calculates the fluctuation intensity and trend prediction, if the coal quality parameters fluctuate greatly (such as sudden change in particle size distribution) or the trend shows abnormality (such as continuous rise in moisture content), the sampling frequency is increased, otherwise the sampling is reduced, avoiding blind operation, the whole process replaces the traditional fixed cycle sampling with dynamic decision-making, significantly improving the pertinence and efficiency of sampling, reducing unnecessary sampling actions, reducing energy consumption, while ensuring timely response when the coal quality changes critically, improving the representativeness of the sampling sample and the accuracy of coal quality monitoring.
[0015] Establish a multi-layer abnormality detection and response mechanism: on the basis of dynamic sampling decision-making, a multi-layer probability anomaly identification (MPAI) method is used to judge the coal quality state and trigger the corresponding response, MPAI divides the coal quality state into three levels of normal, suspicious and high-risk, uses a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to calculate the probability of each level , and executes the response according to the dynamic probability threshold: If , increase the sampling frequency to verify the potential abnormality; If , trigger emergency sampling and alarm to notify the operator; The initial model of MPAI is pre-trained by historical data, real-time data is obtained during running, and after preliminary processing by the edge layer, it is input into GMM, the probability distribution is calculated and the coal quality characteristics in the knowledge base (such as the correlation between moisture content exceeding the standard and spontaneous combustion risk) are used to optimize the judgment, in the process, if a suspicious state (such as abnormal temperature rise) is detected, the system automatically adjusts the sampling strategy, if it is confirmed as high-risk (such as spontaneous combustion risk), emergency sampling is immediately executed and reported through the communication device, this multi-layer detection and response mechanism flexibly responds to different degrees of abnormality, improves the detection accuracy and response speed, reduces the false alarm rate, ensures the reliability of coal quality monitoring, and at the same time, through timely intervention, reduces the occurrence of potential risks (such as fire), enhances the safety of the system.

DFASA determines the sampling time according to the fluctuation intensity F(t) and trend prediction P(t), and ASPO optimizes the sampling position to ensure coverage of key areas. After implementation, the sampling operation is reduced by 30%, the operating cost is reduced from 100 dollars per hour to 75 dollars per hour, the accuracy of coal quality evaluation is improved from 85% to 95%, and the energy consumption is reduced from 100 units per hour to 80 units per hour, significantly improving efficiency and economy.

AI-driven control detects abnormal states through MPAI, DFASA dynamically adjusts sampling frequency, and SEPO periodically optimizes model parameters to ensure the system adapts to environmental changes. After implementation, coal quality variability decreased by 20%, maintenance costs decreased from $50,000 to $42,500 per year, and energy consumption decreased from 1,000 units to 900 units per day, improving the stability and sustainability of boiler operation. This case demonstrates the practical benefits of hierarchical computing architecture and self-evolution optimization, verifying the adaptability and reliability of the system under complex conditions, with the following application indicators.
[0043] Before implementation: high coal quality variability; maintenance costs $50,000 per year; energy consumption 1,000 units per day; After implementation: low coal quality variability; maintenance costs $42,500 per year; energy consumption 900 units per day.
[0044] This case highlights the breakthrough significance of intelligent control methods in optimizing coal quality monitoring and reducing energy consumption.
[0045] Application Case Three: Intelligent Sampling Plan in DEF Mining Company: DEF Mining Company optimizes exploration and production processes through intelligent sampling robots equipped with sampling tools and sensors. AI algorithms dynamically plan paths based on geological data and real-time monitoring, focusing on high-potential areas. MFET enhances feature extraction, ASPO optimizes sampling locations using deep reinforcement learning, and the knowledge assistance system supports decision-making. After implementation, sampling time was reduced from 30 minutes per sample to 18 minutes per sample, efficiency improved by 40%, high-quality coal discovery rate increased from 60% to 75%, and worker safety incidents decreased from 5 per year to 0, significantly improving resource utilization and safety levels, with the following application indicators.
