China's coal mines to be basically intelligent by 2035

Dimly lit mines, gray-headed miners nervous busy ...... about coal mines, many people have such an image. However, some of today's coal mines are presenting another scene: the underground roadway is clean and bright, the operator sits on the ground in the centralized control room, gently press, you can command the coal mining equipment to complete the operation, the whole process is clean and dust-free, man-machine separation.

China is the world's largest coal producer. The National Development and Reform Commission and other 8 parts recently issued “on accelerating the development of coal mine intelligence guidance”, proposed by 2030, all types of coal mines to complete the intelligence.

Intelligent help, “coal mining not see people” gradually approaching

Progress in coal mine safety production level, to ensure the stable supply of coal, coal mine intelligence role is increasingly emerging. National Energy Board, coal mine intelligence is the coal industry high-quality development of core skills support, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, robotics, intelligent equipment and modern coal development and utilization of the depth of integration, constitute a comprehensive perception, real-time interconnectivity, analysis and resolution planning, independent learning, dynamic prediction, collaborative control of the intelligent system to complete the coal mine opening, mining (stripping), transportation, Ventilation, washing, safety assurance, management and other processes of intelligent operation.

Bao Dian coal mine is a microcosm of China's coal mine intelligence development. In recent years, all over the world have accelerated the pace of coal mine intelligent construction: Henan last year, the pilot construction of a number of intelligent mining face, initially set up a coal mine intelligent construction and inspection system; Guizhou coal mine mechanized intelligent upgrading and transformation, the transformation of the daily output of the coal mining face an even progress of about 1,000 tons; Shandong 57 coal mines have built 71 intelligent coal mining face, 54 long-distance control Digging face ...... At present, the country has built more than 200 intelligent coal mining face, coal mining face machine crowd, drilling anchor robot, gangue robot and inspection robots used in coal mines, coal mining mechanization reached more than 78%.

Relying on scientific and technological innovation, let the coal mine more efficient and safer

Coal mine intelligent construction continues to accelerate together, but also face a lot of difficulties and challenges. Experts pointed out that at present, the coal mine intelligent construction work also exists in research and development lagging behind the needs of enterprises to develop, intelligent construction skills norms and norms are missing, the lack of skills and equipment to ensure that the lack of research and development channels are not sound, the lack of high-end talent and other issues.

In order to improve the level of coal mine intelligence, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Emergency Management and other eight parts of the joint issuance of “on accelerating the development of coal mine intelligence counseling views”, to promote the development of intelligent skills and integration of the coal industry, a clear 10 specific tasks, including the strengthening of the top-level design, strengthen the norms to lead the advancement of scientific and technological innovation, to accelerate the production of coal mine intelligent transformation, to improve the level of intelligence of the new coal mines, build Intelligent demonstration coal mines, the implementation of green mine construction, the implementation of a new generation of information technology, explore new forms of service, accelerate the training of personnel and other aspects.

Wang Guofa, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that it is very important to strengthen the top-level design and scientific planning in the process of coal mine intelligentization. In the past, some coal mining enterprises to carry out intelligent construction process, due to the lack of co-ordination, there is no generalized planning and design, resulting in multi-systems are incompatible with each other, constituting “data barriers” and “information chimneys”, can not play its due role.

“To accelerate the development of coal mine intelligence, we need to spend more time on improving the level of intelligent skills and equipment.” He Weida, a professor at the University of Science and Technology of Beijing Dongling School of Economics and Management, said that, in particular, it is necessary to target the short boards, strengthen the development of key common skills, promote the construction of national key laboratories and other skill innovation and development channels, and accelerate the construction of intelligent factories and digital workshops.

Intelligent development, a new generation of information technology is expected. Counseling decision to explore the establishment of a national coal mine information big data channel, accelerate the implementation of modern information skills in the field of coal industry, encourage the relevant parts of the local government to build the information handling cloud channel, promote the coal enterprises to set up the coal mine intelligent big data use channel.

He Weida believes that in the development, implementation and use of new skills in the process, on the one hand, you can introduce the world's coal mine intelligent advanced skills and equipment, handling concepts, service forms, and foreign enterprises to strengthen collaboration; on the other hand, we should strengthen the basic research, development of original skills, and to promote China's coal mine intelligent skills, equipment, specifications, services to go out.

Intelligent coal mining, policy support

Coal mine intelligence development has three phased objectives, namely, by 2021, built a variety of types, different forms of intelligent demonstration of coal mines, the fundamental completion of the digging face to reduce the number of people to improve efficiency, less people or unmanned operation in the face of comprehensive mining, underground and open-cast coal mines, unmanned and long-distance monitoring of the fixed positions; by 2025, large coal mines and severe coal mines with severe disasters to complete the fundamental intelligence, constitute the construction of coal mine intelligence Skill specifications and norms system, the main positions in the underground robotic operation, open-pit coal mines to complete intelligent continuous operation and unmanned transportation; to 2035, all types of coal mines to complete the intelligence, build a multi-industry chain, multi-system integration of the coal mine intelligent system, built intelligent perception, intelligent resolution planning, automatic implementation of the coal mine intelligent system.

How to ensure the completion of the target? The National Development and Reform Commission and other eight parts of the clear, will increase the policy support. The test through the intelligent demonstration of coal mines, give capacity replacement, mine capacity increase and other aspects of priority support; the new intelligent coal mines, in the planning and annual plan priority; coal mine-related intelligent transformation into the scope of the transformation of coal mine safety skills, encouraging financial institutions to increase the support of intelligent coal mines, encouraging enterprises to propose the establishment of a relevant market-oriented fund.

Huang Qunhui, director of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Industrial Economics Seminar, introduced that since the previous year, Shandong, Henan, Guizhou, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other coal-producing provinces clearly prioritized the supply of budgetary support, financial subsidies, priority for approval or approval, encouraging the release of advanced production capacity, and a series of support initiatives, which is important for the progress of coal enterprises to improve the level of intelligent significance is obvious.
