Essay / Mining Disasters in Mining - 1542
Mining accidents have occurred since the early days of mining. There were a total of 525 mining disasters (incidents with five or more fatalities) in coal and metal/non-metal mines. Most of these disasters involve mine rescue teams, specially trained to carry out search and rescue operations in extremely hostile environments. Robots have great potential to assist in these underground operations, searching ahead of rescue teams and reporting conditions that may be dangerous for teams. Introduction Here we design the prototype module for the mobile robot in the mine for rescue and recovery on the ARM7TDMI-SP platform. Here we have two modules, the Robot module and 2 Basestation modules. The robot module includes the sensors, wireless camera and Zigbee transceiver which are mounted on the LPC2148 board. We send the mine status via Zigbee protocol to the base station module. Problem Statement: Coal mine is a special type of mine which is dangerous in nature. These mines will generally be an underground system that has fewer mine heads. In the event of an accident as shown in Table 1, it will be difficult for people to escape from the mine. The dangerous factors that an accident will cause are tunnel collapse, gas explosion, undesirable level of O2, CO and CO2, high temperature, fire, etc. All of these factors can lead to human and material losses. These deadly factors threaten people. After a coal mine disaster, the situation inside the mine is not known. Entering a mine without knowing the exact situation is dangerous because the risks of a second explosion are high. Many rescuers were killed by this second explosion.

This is a prototype that can be implemented in real time by using components with better scope and efficiency. This robot enters dangerous environments and provides data such as the content of various gases after the explosion as well as the temperature on which the rescue team will be sent with the necessary precautionary measures in order to ensure that the team rescue unit does not suffer any damage. The conveyor belt allows the robot to operate in harsh environment overcoming the disadvantage of armed robots as they might trip and fall in such conditions.
