Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of coal mining dust prevention and control, and relates to a coal cutter coal cutting dust production characteristic test platform and method based on similar simulation. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of coal mining, the study of dust production characteristics during the coal cutting process of the coal cutter drum is of great significance. Dust not only affects the safety and health of the working environment, but also threatens the operation of equipment and production efficiency, especially in enclosed spaces, where dust problems can cause serious safety hazards. Therefore, accurate prediction and control of dust production characteristics have become a key issue to ensure the safety and efficiency of coal mine production.
[0003] However, current research methods rely heavily on field measurements or simple theoretical calculations, which have significant limitations. Field tests are limited by the complex environment and high-risk operating conditions of the mine, with high data acquisition costs and safety concerns. Simple theoretical models often ignore the coupling effects of multiple factors, resulting in insufficient prediction accuracy and difficulty in meeting actual production needs.
[0004] The core challenge in this field is how to accurately simulate the dust production process during coal cutting by the coal cutter under limited conditions and establish a reliable prediction model. First, dust production characteristics are influenced by multiple factors, such as the hardness and moisture content of coal and rock, which directly determine the amount of dust generated and the degree of dispersion. Due to the complex changes of these factors in actual working conditions, it is difficult to fully understand their action rules through a single theoretical analysis, which leads to insufficient representativeness of experimental data. The deeper challenge is how to build a simulation platform in a laboratory environment that can truly reflect the actual coal cutting process to safely and efficiently obtain dust production data under different working conditions. The difficulty of building such a simulation platform directly affects the accuracy of data analysis and the reliability of subsequent prediction models.
[0005] Therefore, how to accurately test and predict the dust production characteristics during the coal cutting process of the coal cutter drum by building a similar simulation test platform and analyzing multiple influencing factors has become a key problem that needs to be solved in this research. SUMMARY

[0091]
[0092]
[0093] 3) The correlation model expression of dust production M and power P is obtained by least square method fitting as follows:
[0094] lnM = 1.32 + 0.32lnf- 0.4lnη + 0.17lnp + 0.85lnP + ε M
[0095] Where ε M is the residual term.
