[0002] In coal mining operations, the tunneling machine is the core equipment for coal mine roadway tunneling. The geological environment of the coal mine roadway is extremely complex, and many severe safety challenges are hidden therein. For example, the existence of faults causes the rock to break and be unable to withstand, and the stability of the stratum structure is greatly reduced. When the tunneling machine attempts to cross the fault area, it is often prone to dangerous conditions such as machine jamming, which seriously hinders the tunneling process. The cave area significantly changes the stress distribution pattern of the surrounding rock.
