Research And First Experience Of Virtual Reality System For Fully-mechanized Mining Face Based On Simulation

Research and first experience of Virtual Reality system for fully-mechanized mining face based on simulation is an exploratory subject for virtual reality technique applied in coal mine. In coal mine, because the project background is complicated and accidents occurred frequently. Furthermore, the new equipment and technique is gradually introduced. However, it is demanded that mining production is safe, highly effective and roboticized. In the instance, appearance of virtual reality especially is suitable for workers' training and operation in the environment. Therefore, applying the technique in the coal mine has important significance. It canreal-timely and realistically provide information of complicated mechanism maintenance for workers. With the result that mistake is reduced and efficiency of maintenance and veracity is heightened. In order to avoiding misplay in operation to machine for lacking aptitude, Workers could real-timely operate mechanism in danger and remote condition through virtual environment.On the base of openness, extensibility and reusability in software, virtual reality system for fully-mechanized mining face is totally designed, applied the object oriented programming method. Used advanced techniques in the system, such as texture mapping, graphical simplification, LOD and instances technique, virtual environment modeling, system implementation principle, interactive control and controllable and visual modulation of air flow parameters of fully-mechanized mining face are detailedly analyzed and discussed.Virtual reality system for fully-mechanized mining face based on simulation is designed. Common computer is used in hardware, object oriented programming language Visual C++ 6.0 and 3D graphics standard library OpenGL is used for software. Theoperation of the system is smooth and reliable. It makes applying of virtual reality in coal mine going a step further.
