[0002] Bench blasting is the core process of large open-pit mine exploitation, and the rationality of delay parameters directly affects the blasting vibration control and the rock breaking effect. In the prior art, the delay parameter design mainly depends on empirical formula or small-scale laboratory experiment, and the dynamic evolution characteristics of the new free surface in the field blasting are not fully considered, resulting in the contradiction between vibration control and breaking effect: long delay time can reduce vibration but weaken the inter-hole rock breaking effect, and short delay time can improve the breaking effect but easily cause vibration superposition exceeding the standard.
