The first mine unmanned automatic system was successfully applied in Mazhuang Zhangzhuang Mine

Recently, from the China Metallurgical Mining Enterprise Association's two-integration and fusion committee and smart mine technology exchange meeting (July 26-28, 2018), the news came from Anhui Lu'an, the first truly automatic, uninterrupted underground in China. The successful application of the mine motor vehicle unmanned system in the Zhangzhuang Iron Mine of Maanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. marks a solid first step for China's mining to be intelligent and unmanned.

Mine unmanned driving first automatic system

The system is jointly developed by Dandong Oriental Measurement and Control, a leading enterprise in the domestic mining automation industry, and Mazhuang Zhangzhuang Iron Mine. Different from the general remote control driving system, the unmanned driving system adopts technologies such as locomotive unmanned operation control system, locomotive optimization dispatching and letter collection system, automatic loading system, etc., which breaks through the harsh production environment, track slip and mine discharge. The bulk and original production processes have difficulties in system operation stability and reliability, and realize the core functions of unmanned driving systems such as unmanned driving, automatic ore mining, track obstacle recognition, and anti-collision warning. Moreover, it has reduced the number of underground workers for Zhangzhuang Mine by more than 30 people, improved the working environment of first-line workers, increased equipment operation time, improved mine management level, and achieved intrinsic safety.

At the meeting of the two conferences, nearly 200 leaders and experts from more than 80 directors, members and invited units from across the country conducted field visits to the Mazhuang Iron and Steel Mine site during the meeting to the downhole-480 platform and dispatch. The room observed the unmanned driving system of the Oriental Measurement and Control Electric Motor. Participants expressed high recognition of the results achieved by the system.

The leaders and experts participated in the field observation and saw the implementation of the driverless system. They also learned that the system can reduce the transportation level of the operators, including the downhole motor car driver and the slippery miner, and the person in the uphole control room can Supervise the operation of multiple vehicles. This system improves production capacity while improving the working environment and increasing equipment running time. Realize the mechanization of substitution, automation and reduction of people, to achieve the purpose of reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Experts agree that this is the first truly driving system in the whole process of production without intervention.

The driverless system is an important branch of artificial intelligence technology and one of the symbols of smart mines. At present, the international Kiruna Iron Mine has been built into the first intelligent underground mine; Australia's Rio Tinto has proposed to invest 2.5 billion US dollars in the construction of unattended intelligent open-pit iron ore in the next few years. mountain.

The successful application of the unmanned driving system of the underground electric locomotive of Zhangzhuang Iron Mine in Maanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. marks a major breakthrough in the development of China's field, laying a solid foundation for the promotion and application of underground unmanned mining in the industry and enhancing the confidence of the industry. .
