Construction of digital twin system for intelligent mining in coal mines

Abstract

In order to fulfill the functions of comprehensive perception, real-time interconnection, analysis and decision making, autonomous learning, dynamic prediction and cooperative control, an overall framework of Digital Twin Smart Mining Workface was established. First, the digital twin smart mining face system was divided into 3 levels, and the functions and characteristics of each level were given.Secondly, based on the physical domain entities contained in the intelligent mining face, the data perception models of coal shearer, scraper conveyor, stage loader, crusher, hydraulic support, belt conveyor support, emulsion pump station and environment in the digital twin working face system were expounded in detail, and the collaborative constraint relationship among shearer, hydraulic support, coal flow transportation system, workface environment and equipment was analyzed in depth. Finally, the application scheme of the digital twin intelligent mining face system was designed. Based on the digital twin intelligent mining face system, the virtual-real mapping and real-time interaction between physical mine entities and digital mine twins could be realized, and the intelligent perception and cooperative control of digital twins could be performed, which provides a basis for improving the intelligent level of coal mining face.
