TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water and soil conservation research, and specifically to an artificial rainfall simulation equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] Coal is the most widely distributed and largest conventional energy resource in the world, and is crucial to the global economy and China's social development. Large coal mines in China are mostly located in ecologically fragile arid and semi-arid regions such as the Inner Mongolia Plateau. Globally, open-pit mining is one of the main methods, and open-pit coal production in China accounts for 15% of the global total. Open-pit coal mining directly strips the overburden of the topsoil and coal seam, and the stripped rock and soil are stacked in layers inside and outside the mining area to form a dump. The dump is stacked in layers, with platforms and slopes alternating and gradually rising upwards, resembling a tower-shaped hill. The high and steep slopes of the dump, which are loosely structured, can cause severe water and soil loss, and are the most serious areas of water and soil loss in industrial and mining construction areas. Related studies have shown that the amount of water and soil loss on the slopes of the dump can be 239.2 times that of natural topography. Due to strict design during the accumulation process of the dump, standard platform and slope gradient control, and plant management measures, the dump has become a quantitative verification object for regional water and soil loss and soil erosion research. The stripped rock and soil of the dump are in a mixed and loose state, and have a unique form, serving as a source of sand for open-pit mines. Currently, most scholars have mainly studied water and soil loss on slopes in the Loess Plateau, but the rules of rock and soil dispersion, transportation, and deposition on the dump are different from those of loess and other soil erosion rules, so the research results of soil erosion on natural loess topography cannot be used. Therefore, the study of the process of runoff erosion and sediment production on the slopes of large open-pit mine dumps has important practical significance for mine area water and soil conservation and ecological restoration.
