en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, guided by the National Energy Administration of China, organized and compiled by the China National Coal Association, and published by China Mining University Press, the "Guide for the Construction, Operation and Maintenance of Intelligent Coal Mining Systems in Underground Mines" was officially released. This guide addresses the higher demands placed on the reliability of intelligent equipment and the specialization of operation and maintenance due to complex geological conditions as coal development shifts towards the western regions and deeper deposits, providing a reference plan for the full lifecycle management of intelligent coal mining systems in underground mines.

As a core volume in the Coal Mine Intelligent Construction and Operation & Maintenance Guide Series, the compilation team for this guide brought together experts from coal machinery enterprises, scientific research institutes, universities, and on-site technical specialists. The book systematically covers the entire chain of intelligent coal mining in underground mines, from the development of technical equipment, system composition, and core equipment principles, to operation and maintenance processes, fault handling, and management standards, forming a complete closed loop of "construction—operation—maintenance—overhaul—management." The content involves key subsystems such as geological support, coal cutting, support, transportation, power supply, fluid supply, and communication, explaining the working logic of core equipment like intelligent shearers, electro-hydraulic control systems for hydraulic supports, and scraper conveyors, and includes typical fault cases and handling solutions.

Addressing the industry issues of "emphasizing construction over operation and maintenance" and "emphasizing introduction over assimilation," this guide highlights an orientation towards normalized operation and specialized maintenance. The book specifies requirements for the setup of intelligent operation and maintenance organizations, institutional development, personnel qualifications, and performance evaluation, detailing job operation standards and safety precautions, aiming to help coal mining enterprises build a standardized operation and maintenance system. As an important component of the nation's first set of training materials for coal mine intelligence, this guide fills a gap in professional teaching materials for intelligent coal mining system operation and maintenance. It can be used as a training book for intelligent operation and maintenance personnel in coal mining enterprises, and is also suitable for reference by engineering technicians, university faculty and students, and equipment research and development personnel.

The entire series covers the three major areas of underground mining, open-pit mining, and coal preparation, comprising 24 volumes in total, with 14 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering serving as advisors and over 1,400 industry experts participating in the compilation. As coal mine intelligence has now moved from pilot demonstrations to a phase of comprehensive promotion, the publication of this guide can provide a reference for the transition of intelligent coal mining systems from the construction phase to stable operation and efficient management.
