Advanced technology and development approach of automatic underground mining of metal deposits

The research and development of automatic mining technology and even the further development of unmanned mines need to work together in the following aspects.

3.1 The government supports relevant basic and applied basic research

The Ministry of Science and Technology has initiated the exploration and development of unmanned mining technology through the "863" plan, and other relevant government departments or institutions, such as the Ministry of Education and the National Natural Science Foundation, should also consider the development of automatic mining technology in the relevant scientific research and development plans, and vigorously support universities and scientific research institutions to carry out basic research and applied basic research. In order to form a supporting system with original innovation and technology prototype development ability in automatic mining basic research, applied basic research and interdisciplinary research.

3.2 Enterprises take the lead in relevant technological innovation

Large state-owned science and technology enterprises (relevant research institutes, etc.) related to the exploitation and utilization of mineral resources shall cooperate closely with large state-owned production enterprises, and in the process of implementing the national medium - and long-term science and technology development plan and building national technology development bases such as national engineering laboratories or engineering (technology research) centers and industrial engineering centers related to the exploitation of mineral resources, Take underground automatic mining technology as one of the main technological development directions, according to the scientific and technological development of mining enterprises, the exploitation and utilization of mineral resources and the demand of mineral products market competition, and in view of the appropriate mining conditions, actively introduce, develop and apply foreign advanced automatic mining technology and equipment, and implement simulated innovation and integrated innovation through industrial tests and production practices. And then effectively develop the independent innovation ability of enterprises in the field of automatic mining technology.

3.3 College construction related disciplines and talent security system

Colleges and universities, especially research universities with strong scientific research ability, should strengthen the construction of automatic mining discipline system, and take underground automatic mining technology and theory as one of the main discipline development directions in the process of implementing the national medium - and long-term science and technology development plan and building national research and experiment bases such as State key laboratories and departmental laboratories in the field of mineral resources development. Strengthen industry-university-research cooperation, vigorously promote interdisciplinary, through the establishment of an advanced disciplinary system and effective academic management mechanism, the implementation of teaching, the development of personnel training system conducive to improving the original innovation ability, the cultivation of interdisciplinary academic ability, to adapt to the development of automatic mining science and technology personnel team.

3.4 Attach importance to interdisciplinary integration

Automatic mining technology has a high degree of interdisciplinary nature, involving automation technology, robotics technology, sensing technology, communication technology, machinery manufacturing technology, mining technology and other disciplines, in the process of automatic mining technology research and development, we should pay attention to interdisciplinary, pay attention to the relationship between automatic mining and continuous mining, digital mining and other research directions.

3.5 Development of application system simulation technology

Automatic mining technology is a highly complex system, and the corresponding test facilities are difficult to build, poor repeatability and high cost. In the process of research and development of automatic mining technology and technology, system simulation technology should be actively developed and applied. Simulation technology and model system are used to effectively study stope planning and design, roadway layout, equipment selection, process and other related parameters of a typical automatic mining process system and their influence on the efficiency and efficiency of the automatic mining process system through multi-scheme simulation analysis. The dynamic process of a typical underground automatic mining process system is vividly displayed and its operating status is visually investigated. System process simulation technology based on discrete event simulation method and system spatiotemporal dynamic simulation technology based on 3D visualization simulation method will be important technical means to study and develop automatic mining technology, especially automatic mining process system.
