摘要:The method of fully mechanized top-coal caving mining has become the main method of mining thick-seam coal. The process parameters of fully mechanized caving will affect the recovery rate and gangue content of top coal. Through numerical simulation software, the top-coal recovery rate and gangue content, under different fully mechanized caving process parameters, were simulated, and the influence law of different fully mechanized caving process parameters on top-coal recovery rate and gangue content was obtained. A decision model for top-coal caving process parameters was established with a BP neural network, and the optimal top-coal caving parameters were obtained for the actual situation of a working face. On this basis, a in-lab similarity simulation test of the particle material was carried out. The results show that the top-coal recovery rate and gangue content were 86.56% and 3.45%, respectively, and the coal caving effect was good. A BP neural network was used to study the decisions optimizing fully mechanized caving process parameters, which effectively improved the decision-making efficiency thereabout and provided a basis for realizing intelligent, fully mechanized caving mining.
