DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0029]The following further describes the present invention with reference to specific embodiments.
[0030] An excavator positioning system applicable to curved roadway construction shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 includes a boom-type excavator 1, a reflection plane apparatus 2, and an intelligent total station module 3. A communications and control system 1.1, a strapdown inertial navigation system module 1.2, a dual-axis tilt sensor 1.3, and two excavator positioning prisms 1.4 are disposed and mounted on the boom-type excavator 1. The strapdown inertial navigation system module 1.2 is connected to the communications and control system 1.1. The dual-axis tilt sensor 1.3 is also connected to the communications and control system 1.1. The two excavator positioning prisms 1.4 are 3600 prisms and mounted on a central line of the excavator, where one is at the front, and the other is at the rear.
[0031] The reflection plane apparatus 2 includes a walking mechanism 2.1, a rotation driving apparatus 2.2, a stepping motor 2.3, a laser reflection plane 2.4, a reflection plane apparatus positioning prism 2.5, and a total station rearview prism 2.6. The rotation driving apparatus 2.2 is mounted on a vehicle body, and is powered by the stepping motor 2.3, to actuate the laser reflection plane 2.4 to rotate. A controller is mounted inside the reflection plane apparatus 2, and can control movement of the walking mechanism 2.1 and movement of the stepping motor2.3, and store in real time a rotation angle of the laser reflection plane 2.4 relative to a body of the reflection plane apparatus 2 caused by the movement of the stepping motor 2.3. Structures of the reflection plane apparatus positioning prism 2.5 and the total station rearview prism 2.6 are the same, and are both 360 prisms. There are three reflection plane apparatus positioning prisms 2.5 that are disposed in a non-collinear manner and that are configured to position the reflection plane apparatus 2. There are two total station rearview prisms 2.6 that are configured to position the total station 3 during station moving of the total station.
[0032]When the boom-type excavator 1 works in a curved roadway, the intelligent total station module 3 can merely position the excavator within a small distance. When the intelligent total station module 3 cannot effectively position the excavator positioning prism 1.4 because of a non-visual distance reason, the reflection plane apparatus 2 is disposed at a proper location between the excavator 1 and the intelligent total station module 3. The intelligent total station module 3 positions three reflection plane apparatus positioning prisms 2.5, to obtain a six-degree of freedom pose parameter of the reflection plane apparatus 2 in a roadway 4.
[0033] Because a rotation angle of the laser reflection plane 2.4 relative to the body of the reflection plane apparatus 2 can be resolved in real time, the laser reflection plane 2.4 in the roadway 4 may be expressed by using a known plane equation. According to a mirror reflection principle, after the intelligent total station module 3 obtains by measurement and calculation coordinates of the excavator positioning prism 1.4, a symmetric point of this point with respect to the laser reflection plane 2.4, that is, actual three-dimensional coordinates of the excavator positioning prism 1.4 in the roadway 4, is obtained.
[0034] When the excavator works by a far enough distance and the excavator positioning prism 1.4 cannot be effectively positioned even by using the reflection plane apparatus 2 because of a non-visual distance, a rapid station-moving operation of the intelligent total station module 3 is needed to move the intelligent total station module 3 to a proper location between the excavator 1 and the reflection plane apparatus 2. In this case, the pose parameter of the reflection plane apparatus 2 is still known, that is, three-dimensional coordinates of a total station rearview prism component 2.6 in the roadway are known. The intelligent total station module 3 is positioned by the total station rearview prism 2.6 using a rear view method. Then, the reflection plane apparatus 2 is moved to a proper location between the boom-type excavator 1 and the intelligent total station module 3.
[0035]A combined positioning manner is used for positioning the boom-type excavator 1. The intelligent total station module 3 calculates the coordinates of two excavator positioning prisms 1.4, to obtain a location parameter and a body direction angle parameter of the excavator 1, and then, obtains a roll angle and a pitch angle of a body by using a dual-axis tilt sensor 1.3, so as to obtain the six-degree of freedom pose parameter of the excavator. In addition, the six-degree of freedom pose parameter of the excavator 1 is alternatively resolved in real time by using the strapdown inertial navigation system module 1.2. The positioning method using the intelligent total station module has high positioning precision and no accumulated error, but consumes a long time and has a poor real-time capability. However, the positioning method using the strapdown inertial navigation system has a good real-time capability, but has an accumulated error and poor long-time positioning precision. A combined positioning manner is used to perform asynchronous fusion on two types of positioning data to make use of advantages of the two positioning methods to make them compensate for each other, thereby improving positioning precision and a positioning real-time capability
[0036]When the boom-type excavator 1 excavates a roadway combined by a straight-lined roadway and a curved roadway, a common working procedure thereof includes the following:
[0037] a. The excavator 1 first works in a straight-lined roadway, in this case, effective combined positioning can be performed on the excavator without using the reflection plane apparatus 2, and when the excavator just entered a curved roadway, the reflection plane apparatus 2 is still not needed.
[0038] b. When the excavator continues excavation, the intelligent total station module cannot effectively position the excavator positioning prism 1.4 because of a non-visual distance, the reflection plane apparatus 2 needs to be disposed at a proper location in the roadway and fixed.
[0039] c. The reflection plane apparatus positioning prism 2.5 on the reflection plane apparatus 2 is positioned by using the intelligent total station module 3, to obtain a plane equation of the laser reflection plane 2.4 in the roadway 4 and update the plane equation in real time according to the movement of the stepping motor 2.3, and the excavator is effectively positioned by using a mirror reflection method, to perform six-degree of freedom combined positioning on the excavator.
[0040] d. The excavator continuously works in the curved roadway, and finally, the excavator cannot be effectively positioned by using the mirror reflection method because of a non-visual distance, so that a rapid station-moving operation of the intelligent total station module 3 is needed, and after the rapid station-moving, the excavator can still be effectively positioned by a distance without using the reflection plane apparatus 2.
[0041] e. Steps b to d are cycled, so as to perform accurate combined positioning on the excavator in real time in a whole curved roadway excavation process.
[0042] f. The excavator finishes curved roadway construction and performs straight-lined roadway construction gain, and combined positioning can be effectively performed on the excavator without using the reflection plane apparatus 2.
[0043] As shown in Fig. 5, when the reflection plane apparatus 2 needs to be disposed, the reflection plane apparatus 2 is disposed on an outer side of the curved roadway 4 between the excavator 1 and the intelligent total station module 3 and at a position farthest from the intelligent total station module. In this case, laser emitted by the intelligent total station module is tangential to an inner sidewall of the roadway, and an angle of the laser reflection plane 2.4 is adjusted to make it perpendicular to a radius of an arc of the roadway that passes through a central point of the laser reflection plane 2.4. Laser reflected by the laser reflection plane 2.4 is tangential to the inner sidewall of the roadway, so that the laser can reach a farthest positioning distance of the excavator during curved roadway construction.
[0044] As shown in Fig. 6, when a distance between the boom-type excavator 1 and the reflection plane apparatus 2 is small, and an angle of the laser reflection plane 2.4 in Fig. 5 is used, a symmetric point of the excavator with respect to the laser reflection plane is ', the excavator is in a state of being at a non-visual distance from the intelligent total station module, and cannot be effective positioned. After the angle of the laser reflection plane 2.4 is properly adjusted, a symmetric point of the excavator with respect to the laser reflection plane is 1", and in this case, the excavator can be effectively positioned. Therefore, a rotation angle of the laser reflection plane 2.4 relative to the body of the reflection plane apparatus 2 needs to be adjusted according to the location of the excavator 1, and the adjustment is accurately cutting cycle;
[0038](g) the advancing cylinder 2-7 and the swing angle cylinder 2-3 are adjusted, so that the three-component geophone 2-5 is separated from the stope, and the supporting plate 2-4 returns to an initial position; the working face side signal collection apparatus 2 is driven to travel for a set distance along a traveling direction of the shearer 1 and then stops traveling; steps (e) and (f) are repeated until construction of the three-dimensional geological model of the working face for the next cutting cycle is completed; the working face side signal collection apparatus (2) is driven to move back to the tail of the scrapper (3) and then stops moving;
[0039](h) after the shearer 1 completes the cutting process, a hydraulic support 4 pushes forward and advances, and a next cutting cycle is performed; a height adjustment control module extracts a top plate curve and a bottom plate curve of the three-dimensional geological model on the next working interface, and performs sampling at equal intervals to obtain a series of top plate and bottom plate elevation values (ZD1, ZD2, ZD3, ... , ZDn) and (Zdl,
Zd2, Zd3, ... , Zd.), and respectively compares the elevation values with corresponding elevations ZT and Zt of the central points of the upper and lower rollers of the shearer, determines and controls heights of the upper and lower rollers of the shearer, and sets a threshold 6; if ZDi-ZT<, the upper roller is lowered, otherwise, the upper roller is lifted; if
Zdi-Zt<, the lower roller is lifted, otherwise, the lower roller is lowered; and
[0040](i) steps (c) to (h) are repeated to complete automatic cutting of the stope.
[0041]The foregoing descriptions are merely preferred implementations of present invention. It should be pointed out that a person of ordinary skill in the art may further make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. The improvements and modifications should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

(e) an angle between a supporting plate and a stope is adjusted by means of a swing angle cylinder, and a distance between the supporting plate and the stope is adjusted by means of an advancing cylinder, to implement quick arrangement of a three-component geophone on the stope; a strapdown inertial navigation module I works in real time, to calculate an absolute pose parameter of a body in the mine coordinate system;
(f) the three-component geophone is in close contact with a working face coal wall and detects a seismic source signal originated from the shearer and then reflected by a wave impedance interface; an embedded system III performs regular seismic wave processing such as signal denoising, equivalent normalization, longitudinal and transverse wave separation, speed analysis, or depth shift on the seismic source signal of the shearer and the seismic source signal originated from the shearer and then reflected by the wave impedance interface, and then constructs a transverse and longitudinal wave speed model and a three-dimensional seismic section within a short distance range of a front working face, identifies, in advance, coal rock distribution in a roller cutting depth of a next cutting cycle, and with reference to the absolute pose parameter of the shearer in the mine coordinate system and the absolute pose parameter of the body in the mine coordinate system, continually updates a three-dimensional geological model of the working face for the next cutting cycle;
(g) the advancing cylinder and the swing angle cylinder are adjusted, so that the
three-component geophone is separated from the stope, and the supporting plate returns to an
initial position; the working face side signal collection apparatus is driven to travel for a set
distance along a traveling direction of the shearer and then stops traveling; steps (e) and (f)
are repeated until construction of the three-dimensional geological model of the working face
for the next cutting cycle is completed; the working face side signal collection apparatus is
driven to move back to the tail of the scrapper and then stops moving;
(h) after the shearer completes a cutting cycle, a hydraulic support pushes forward and
advances, and a next cutting cycle is performed; a height adjustment control module extracts a
top plate curve and a bottom plate curve of the three-dimensional geological model for a next
working interface, and performs sampling at equal intervals to obtain a series of top plate and
bottom plate elevation values (ZD1, ZD2, ZD3, ... , ZDn) and (Zdl, Zd2, Zd3, ... , Zd.), and respectively compares the elevation values with corresponding elevations ZT and Zt of the
central points of the upper and lower rollers of the shearer, determines and controls heights of
the upper and lower rollers of the shearer, and sets a threshold6; if ZDi-ZTS6, the upper roller
is lowered, otherwise, the upper roller is lifted; if Zdi-ZtS6, the lower roller is lifted, otherwise,
the lower roller is lowered; and
(i) steps (c) to (h) are repeated to complete automatic cutting of the stope.
