Development and Application of Underground Intelligent Explosive Vehicles

This paper analyzes the present situation and development trend of charging blasting process in underground metal mines in China, introduces the key technology of intelligent explosive field mixed loading vehicle for underground mine. The research focuses on the autonomous driving and barrier technology of the underground intelligent explosive vehicle, the remote (range of visibility) wireless remote control and automatic hole finding technology of the working arm, the automatic sending and returning of the explosive pipe and the identification technology of the bottom of the hole. The industrial application experiment of underground intelligent explosive mixed loading vehicle in Fankou Lead Zinc mine is introduced. The application results show that the underground explosive vehicle in China has fully realized the automation and intelligence of underground charging. This equipment effectively improves the charging efficiency and safety.
