Research On The Application Of RFID Technology In Underground Rescue Positioning

  • March 02, 2024

According to relevant statistics, the number of casualties caused by safety accidents in coal mines is at the forefront of safety accidents in the country.

The tunnels under the mine are complex and there are many difficulties in carrying out rescue work. At the same time, the management of personnel underground in coal mines is different from the management on the ground. On the one hand, the positioning of personnel underground is limited by the tunnel, so many personnel positioning technologies cannot be realized; on the other hand, the personnel positioning technology underground requires higher anti-interference. . When an accident occurs underground in a coal mine, the most commonly used search and rescue method is infrared detectors. The principle of using infrared detectors is to detect the infrared radiation emitted by the human body to achieve the purpose of positioning and rescue. However, due to the lack of safety measures in coal mines, The presence of gas will cause the infrared propagation to weaken, and it is also susceptible to interference from other infrared heat sources underground, making it less efficient in actual use. In addition to infrared detectors, life detectors are also commonly used. They mainly detect the ultra-low frequency waves emitted by the human heart to locate people. Microwaves have strong penetrability, but they can also detect some people with weak heart beats. some problems. Under this situation, a device capable of real-time positioning has been developed for underground coal mine personnel. It can be used to solve the daily management of personnel and improve labor efficiency during normal work; when an accident occurs, this device can be used to promptly locate Trapped personnel are located. This article proposes a locating device for underground personnel based on RFID technology, hereafter referred to as the RFID rescue locating device. This device can be worn and is small in size, and can be used as a necessary component of underground rescue work.

Design requirements analysis

Before designing the RFID rescue positioning device, it is necessary to analyze the positioning needs and technical characteristics of underground coal mine personnel.

Finally, a detailed system design can be made. After detailed analysis, 3 requirements must be met:

(1) Comes with its own power supply and has long working hours

Considering the underground

The length of time personnel work in normal work and the timeliness of rescue operations

performance, so the system must be able to work for more than 48 hours;

Abstract: Due to the complex underground environment and the application of infrared detection and life detection instruments, safety rescue in coal mines is subject to many problems.

Limitation, the development of an underground personnel positioning device for coal mine rescue plays a very important role. proposed a method based on RFID technology

Based on the analysis of the needs of coal mine underground positioning systems, the system’s sending module and receiving module were

The design was proposed, a low-power system design method was proposed, the RSSI positioning algorithm and KWWN algorithm in RFID personnel positioning technology were expounded, and a hybrid algorithm was proposed to locate underground personnel. A simulation environment was built and simulated, and the K value was changed. When K=4, the error value for personnel positioning is the smallest, and the system can meet the needs of underground rescue positioning in coal mines.

(2) High reliability and anti-interference. Due to the harsh underground environment, high humidity and many sources of interference during and after the accident, the

The RFID rescue positioning device needs to have a high degree of reliability and anti-interference;

(3) Store user information and support multi-user management. There are generally more than 100 underground workers in large coal mines. Considering the design

There is a margin left, so the RFID rescue positioning device must be able to store user information and support user management functions for 150 people.

Overall system design

RFID technology is a relatively mature wireless radio frequency communication technology, which is mainly realized through the coupling phenomenon of radio frequency signals in space.

Transmission of information. RFID technology is widely used in fields such as product tag identification and electronic anti-theft. In the positioning system, animals and cars can be marked. Typical applications include pet marking, medical waste management, etc.

The overall design of the rescue positioning device based on RFID technology is divided into two parts. One part is a transmitter worn on the body of underground personnel.

The other part of the unit module is the receiving module for receiving signals.
