Current Situation and Prospect of Intelligent On-site Mixed-loading Vehicles
Since the concept of intelligent blasting was proposed, the on-site mixed explosive vehicles (MEVs) have struggled to meet the evolving demands of the field. Reviewing the development of MEVs abroad reveals that while developed countries have a higher proportion of on-site mixed explosives usage, their levels of automation and intelligence have progressed slowly, with only a handful of civil explosive giants proposing related concepts. In China, to meet the national requirements for intelligent mine construction, some civil explosive enterprises and MEV manufacturers have begun exploring intelligent upgrades and applications for MEVs, achieving notable technological breakthroughs. China Gezhouba Group Explosive Co., Ltd. has developed an intelligent on-site mixed ANFO vehicle featuring precise borehole positioning, automatic blasting design acquisition, one-button charging, and automatic information collection. This article introduces this intelligent ANFO vehicle, detailing its key technologies: high-precision charging metering control systems, intelligent high-precision positioning, and smart loading systems. These advancements offer references for the intelligent development of similar explosive vehicles. The future direction for on-site MEVs is to achieve full intelligence and crewless operation, encompassing capabilities such as unmanned driving, automatic hole targeting, and smart charging. Ultimately, these vehicles aim to integrate seamlessly into the framework of safe and collaborative operations within the mining sector.
