Technical Field
The invention relates to an intelligent inspection robot and a working method thereof, in particular to an intelligent inspection robot and a working method thereof which are suitable for the field of inspection robots and are used in a coal discharge state at the rear part of a fully mechanized caving face support.
Background
The caving coal mining is that a longwall working face is arranged at the bottom of a thick coal seam, the thickness of the bottom part of the mined coal seam (the thickness is generally 2.2-3.5 m) is obtained by a comprehensive mechanical coal mining method, the rest part (the thickness is generally 3-12 m) above the bottom part is top coal, the top coal is damaged and crushed under the action of supporting pressure formed in front of the working face, the crushed top coal is discharged and transported away through a special coal discharging mechanism of a support after the dead weight of the coal is behind a hydraulic support along with the forward advance of the working face, and the once mining full-thickness mining of the thick coal seam is realized.
In the process of fully mechanized caving mining of coal mines, one of the problems to be solved urgently is how to correctly judge the optimal opening and closing time of a coal caving port, which is a technical problem to be solved urgently at present and matched with intelligent fully mechanized caving mining.

And secondly, the opening and closing of the coal discharging port are realized by applying an electro-hydraulic control system, and the basic method is to embed a preset coal discharging program into the electro-hydraulic control system and realize the opening and closing of the coal discharging port according to the preset coal discharging action and coal discharging time. Due to the change of factors such as the thickness of the coal seam, if the opening and closing time of the coal discharging opening is unchanged, the situation of over-discharging or under-discharging is inevitably caused in the coal discharging process, so that the coal quality is reduced or resources are lost. Therefore, in the intelligent coal caving process, the on-line monitoring of the coal caving amount is a key technology for accurate coal caving, and the dynamic parameters of the coal flow at the coal caving port are important basis for the action and control of a coal caving mechanism.
