Abstract

In order to predict the wind speed of the excavation roadway, control the frequency conversion operation of the local fan in real-time, and realize the real-time monitoring, collaborative prediction, and frequency conversion control of the ventilation state of the excavation face, the frequency conversion ventilation control system of the excavation face is designed. Based on the theory of frequency conversion control, the genetic-neural network wind speed prediction optimization model was established, and the frequency conversion ventilation control system of the excavation face was designed by using S7-200 SMART PLC. The system test results show that the genetic-neural network optimization model can collaboratively predict wind speed according to the environmental parameters (dust concentration, methane concentration, temperature, and humidity, etc.) of different working conditions. The frequency conversion ventilation control system realizes the real-time monitoring of the environmental parameters of the excavation surface, and also provides two control modes: automatic and manual. Compared with the traditional constant power frequency control fan wind speed, the PID wind speed closed-loop control technology can control the fan wind speed by frequency conversion, so that the actual wind speed of the roadway continues to approach the predicted value stably. The variable frequency ventilation control system can be widely used in different types of mines to realize the adaptive control response of ventilation equipment.
