Automatic Acquisition System for Mine Pressure Monitoring in Coal Mine Working-Face Footage

Abstract

The existing mine pressure monitoring system has realized the online continuous monitoring of the working-face stent resistance, roadway roof offcuts, and anchor rod/rope working resistance. However, the mine pressure monitoring information of the working face currently includes only the stent resistance and the monitoring time, and there is no information on the working-face advance. The mine pressure data cannot be precisely analyzed due to a lack of measurement point locations. Mine pressure data analysis combined with the working-face feed information is the basis for safe and efficient mining and for improving the intelligence level of the comprehensive mining face. According to the special electromagnetic environment of the underground, this system adopts UWB (ultra-wide-band) technology and the SDS-TWR (symmetric double-sided two-way ranging) ranging method, with the UWB positioning base station as the core and installs positioning tags at the end supports of the working face to collect information. The data are uploaded to the host computer via Ethernet for coordinate solving, automatically collecting the working-face footage data and providing positional information for mine pressure monitoring. The application results show that the system operates normally and can collect real-time information of working-face footage and monitor mine pressure data, and meet the requirements of coal mine positioning accuracy, positioning error is less than 30 cm, the application effect is good.
