Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mining equipment management technology, and in particular to a mining hydraulic support full life cycle management platform and system based on digital twin. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic supports, as the core support equipment in fully mechanized mining faces, directly affect the safety and efficiency of coal mining due to their level of intelligence. With the advancement of smart mine construction, the application of digital twin technology in hydraulic support management is gradually deepening; however, the existing technology system still faces several technical bottlenecks that urgently need to be addressed:
[0003] The disconnect between geological conditions and support control is a significant issue: existing digital twin systems for hydraulic supports primarily focus on monitoring the condition of the equipment itself, failing to achieve deep integration of geological conditions and support behavior. When the working face advances to areas with faults, folds, or other geological structures, traditional systems cannot pre-adjust support parameters according to geological changes, leading to a mismatch between the support's working resistance and the surrounding rock stress, which can easily cause accidents such as support tilting or crushing. Although technologies such as channel wave seismic surveys and borehole drilling have been used for geological exploration, their data have not yet been effectively integrated into the hydraulic support control closed loop, leaving geological information and support management in a state of "separate operations."
[0004] Insufficient dynamic load characteristic analysis and control response capabilities: Existing systems still process hydraulic support load data at the level of basic parameter recording, lacking in-depth feature extraction of load time series. In particular, the identification and response mechanism for impact loads is imperfect. When mine pressure manifestation occurs at the working face, the system struggles to promptly identify load anomalies and initiate corresponding control strategies. Traditional load monitoring methods cannot effectively separate static loads from dynamic impact components, resulting in poor adaptability of the support under complex load conditions, and the real-time performance and accuracy of the control strategies fail to meet field requirements.
[0005] The entire lifecycle management is severely disconnected from actual operating conditions: Current maintenance decisions for hydraulic supports are mostly based on fixed cycles or simple operating times, failing to fully consider the actual load history borne by the equipment. Due to the lack of accurate load spectrum data, life prediction models generally rely on theoretical calculations and empirical formulas, resulting in significant discrepancies between predictions and actual damage accumulation. This management model, detached from actual operating conditions, leads to both under-maintenance and over-maintenance, increasing safety hazards and wasting resources.
[0006] Virtual verification does not closely match real-world operating conditions: Existing digital twin systems often use idealized load conditions in their virtual verification phase, failing to effectively reproduce the load characteristics under actual geological conditions downhole. Due to the lack of real load data, digital twin models cannot accurately simulate the mechanical response of hydraulic supports in complex geological environments, reducing the reliability of virtual commissioning and predictive maintenance.
[0007] In recent years, although some studies have attempted to incorporate geological information into hydraulic support control systems, these efforts have largely remained at the level of simple data overlay, failing to establish a complete technological chain from geological sensing to load analysis and control execution. Particularly in key areas such as dynamic load spectrum construction, impact load identification and early warning, and life prediction based on actual load history, existing technologies have yet to form systematic solutions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a digital twin management platform for hydraulic supports that can deeply integrate geological information, achieve accurate load characteristic analysis, and support full lifecycle optimization decisions.

[0090] The load spectrum comparison unit is used to perform similarity analysis between real-time acquired load data and historical load spectra to identify abnormal load patterns.
[0091] The workflow of each unit in the dynamic load spectrum construction and analysis module is as follows:
[0092] The load data acquisition unit collects stress data of the support structure in real time at a sampling frequency of 100Hz through a distributed stress sensor array arranged on the top beam, column and base of the hydraulic support. At the same time, it monitors the pressure inside the column cylinder through a pressure sensor and records the cyclic movement stroke of the support through a displacement sensor, forming a raw load dataset containing timestamps.

[0121] When the peak impact load reaches 110% of the rated working resistance, that is... At that time, a Level 3 response is initiated, an emergency depressurization procedure is executed, and adjacent supports are coordinated to provide compensating support.
[0122] The group collaborative optimization unit adopts a distributed collaborative control algorithm. Based on the load distribution law obtained by dynamic load spectrum analysis, a load balance optimization model of hydraulic support group is established. By calculating the load concentration in different areas of the working face in real time, the working parameters of the support group are dynamically adjusted so that the variance of the working face support strength distribution is controlled within 15%.
[0123] The load concentration of each support is obtained by dividing the force on each support by the total force on the working surface:

[0138] The remaining life prediction unit is used to predict the remaining life of a component by combining material fatigue characteristics and cumulative damage.
[0139] The maintenance strategy optimization unit is used to develop differentiated maintenance plans based on the remaining life prediction results.
[0140] The workflow of each unit in the full lifecycle optimization module is as follows:
[0141] The cumulative damage assessment unit is based on the eight-level load spectrum matrix in the dynamic load spectrum database. It uses Miner's linear cumulative damage theory to calculate the cumulative damage degree of key components of the hydraulic support and displays the damage degree distribution cloud map of each component in real time.
[0142] The cumulative damage is:
[0143] ,in: To accumulate damage, For load level The actual number of loops, For load level The material fatigue life is measured; the damage distribution cloud map is displayed in real time to intuitively present the damage status of each component.
[0144] The remaining life prediction unit combines material fatigue characteristic curves and real-time cumulative damage to establish a remaining life prediction model based on actual load history. Through finite element analysis, the stress concentration factors of key components such as the top beam and columns under different load conditions are obtained, and the crack propagation rate formula is used... Calculate the fatigue crack propagation rate;

[0146] , The stress concentration factor is... For stress, The length of the crack. and is the crack propagation parameter of the material, and N is the number of fatigue load cycles.
[0147] Based on the remaining life prediction results and the cumulative damage distribution, the maintenance strategy optimization unit establishes a three-level maintenance response mechanism: when the component damage reaches 60%, an early warning is initiated and planned maintenance is arranged; when the component damage reaches 80%, an emergency maintenance plan is initiated and spare parts are prepared; when the component damage reaches 95%, a forced replacement procedure is executed, and maintenance resource allocation is optimized according to the component damage distribution characteristics.
[0148] In one specific embodiment, the full lifecycle management platform of this application also includes a virtual testing function based on dynamic load spectrum. By reproducing typical load conditions in a digital twin environment, the structural strength and control system reliability of the hydraulic support under different geological conditions are verified. The specific steps are as follows:
[0149] Based on historical data from the dynamic load spectrum database, we selected four typical geological conditions for ultimate load conditions: fault zone mining, passage through fold axis, initial pressure on the working face, and periodic pressure. We then extracted the peak load, load duration, and load cycle characteristic parameters for each condition.
[0150] Import the 3D model of the hydraulic support into the ANSYS Twin Builder environment, set the material constitutive relation and boundary condition constraints, establish a finite element analysis model containing key components such as the top beam, column and base, and map the geological condition parameters in the geological-support coupled digital twin to the finite element model;
[0151] The selected typical load condition data are input into the finite element analysis model. The dynamic response of the hydraulic support under various geological conditions is simulated through transient dynamic analysis to obtain the stress distribution cloud map, displacement deformation and fatigue hot spot area of key components.
[0152] The maximum equivalent stress region is identified based on the stress distribution cloud map, and the structural safety margin is assessed by comparing the material yield strength. When the maximum equivalent stress exceeds 85% of the material yield strength, it is marked as a high-risk region and structural optimization suggestions are generated.
[0153] The support response data during the load condition reproduction process is input into the adaptive control strategy generation module to verify the response speed and stability of the control strategy under different geological conditions, and to record the response time of the control system from load anomaly identification to parameter adjustment completion.
[0154] The results of structural strength verification and control system reliability verification are fed back to the life cycle optimization module to optimize the cumulative damage assessment model and maintenance strategy, forming a closed-loop feedback mechanism from virtual verification to actual optimization.

[0179] The present application will be further described below with reference to a specific embodiment.
[0180] Example 1
[0181] 1. Implementation environment:
[0182] The application was verified in a fully mechanized mining face of a mining group. The working face has a strike length of 1850m, an dip length of 250m, an average coal seam thickness of 3.5m, and contains two fault structures (fault displacement of 1.8~2.5m) and a fold structure zone.
[0183] 2. Implementation method:
[0184] (1) Deploy a geological coupling detection system: arrange a channel wave seismic transmitter / receiver point every 30m along the working face, construct a geological borehole every 50m and install a borehole inspection instrument to form a digital model of the geological structure.
[0185] (2) Install support monitoring sensors: Install pressure sensors, displacement sensors and tilt sensors on 125 hydraulic supports, and add distributed stress sensor arrays on 30 key supports.
[0186] (3) Construct a digital twin platform: Deploy a full life cycle management platform, including a digital twin construction module for geological coupling, a dynamic load spectrum construction and analysis module, an adaptive control strategy generation module, and a full life cycle optimization module.
[0187] (4) Operational verification: The platform operated continuously for 6 months, covering the entire process of advancing 850m of the working face, including special geological conditions such as passing through two fault zones and a fold structure area.
[0188] 3. Verification method:

[0193] 4. Comparison of verification results:
[0194] The comparison of the effects of the platform using this application with existing technologies is shown in Table 1 below:
[0195] Table 1. Comparison of Results
[0196]
[0197] 5. Specific implementation results:
[0198] (1) Geological prediction and control effect: The platform accurately predicted the fault location 12 days in advance with a deviation of only 3.2m. During the passage through the fault, the system automatically adjusted the working resistance of the support from 28MPa to 35MPa, effectively controlling the subsidence of the roof and reducing the support tilt failure rate from the expected 25% to the actual 6%.
[0199] (2) Load analysis and safety control: In the folded structure area, the system detected an increase in the frequency of impact loads and automatically activated the secondary response mechanism. By adjusting the initial support force and activating the buffer function, it successfully avoided three potential support crushing accidents.
[0200] (3) Life prediction and maintenance optimization: The system predicts that the remaining life of the top beam of the No. 45 to No. 48 supports is 7 months. After actual disassembly and inspection, the fatigue damage degree is consistent with the prediction result by 93%. Based on this, the preventive replacement plan avoids unplanned downtime losses.
[0201] This embodiment fully demonstrates the significant effects of the platform of this application in improving the geological adaptability of hydraulic supports, enhancing safety assurance, and optimizing the whole life cycle management, providing effective technical support for the intelligent construction of coal mines.
[0202] The embodiments described above in this application achieve the following technical effects:
[0203] 1. It has achieved precise support and advanced control based on geological perception, which has significantly improved the safety and efficiency of mining under complex geological conditions.
[0204] The core innovation of this application lies in breaking through the technical bottleneck of traditional hydraulic support management being disconnected from geological conditions. Through a geologically coupled digital twin construction module, it is the first to deeply integrate multi-source geological information, such as channel seismic exploration, borehole inspection, and ground acoustic monitoring, with support operating data, establishing a quantitative correlation model between geological conditions and support behavior. This innovation enables the platform to accurately identify geological anomalies such as faults and folds, and based on dynamic load spectrum prediction technology, predict load change trends 3-5 production cycles in advance, thereby achieving pre-optimization of support parameters. Practical application shows that this technology improves the support effect of hydraulic supports in geologically structural areas by approximately 25%, increases the monthly progress of the working face by more than 18%, and successfully provides early warning of multiple working face pressure surges, preventing major safety accidents.
[0205] 2. A closed-loop technology system from load sensing to adaptive control was created, realizing intelligent collaboration and inherent safety of hydraulic support groups.
[0206] This application introduces a dynamic load spectrum construction and analysis module, enabling unprecedented in-depth analysis of the load characteristics of hydraulic supports. This module employs advanced signal processing techniques such as wavelet transform to achieve precise separation of static loads and dynamic impact loads, and establishes an eight-level load spectrum matrix. Based on this, the adaptive control strategy generation module can initiate a three-level response mechanism according to real-time load characteristics. When abnormal impact loads are detected, it can automatically adjust the support's operating parameters within milliseconds, effectively avoiding overload damage. Simultaneously, through a distributed collaborative control algorithm, load balancing control of the hydraulic support group at the working face is achieved, keeping the variance of the support strength distribution within 15%, fundamentally improving the overall stability and reliability of the support system, and reducing the failure rate of on-site application display equipment by 35%.
[0207] 3. A precise lifetime prediction and closed-loop optimization mechanism based on actual load history was constructed, achieving the optimization of the entire life cycle cost.
[0208] Another major innovation of this application lies in the deep integration of dynamic load spectrum analysis and full lifecycle management. Through a cumulative damage assessment unit, the system can accurately calculate the cumulative damage of key components based on real eight-level load spectrum data using Miner's theory, and combined with finite element analysis, achieve a remaining life prediction accuracy of over 90%. This mechanism completely changes the traditional maintenance model that relies on empirical formulas or fixed cycles, establishing a three-level maintenance response strategy based on the actual health status of components. This not only avoids the waste caused by "over-maintenance" but also prevents unexpected downtime caused by "under-maintenance." Application data shows that maintenance costs are reduced by more than 25%, and the overhaul cycle of hydraulic supports is extended by 20%. Furthermore, by reproducing typical load conditions in a digital twin environment for virtual verification, a complete closed loop from design optimization and operation control to maintenance decision-making is formed, continuously improving the system's reliability and economy.
