| Abstract: | Mine rescue capsule is a typical emergency equipment in a coal mine. It provides a safe and confined space for miners when mining disasters occurred. The length of the passenger survival cell is suitable to be adjusted with several predefined modular cells according to various numbers of passengers. Aiming at the shortage of guidance rules for the modular combination design of mine rescue capsule, the configuration situations of survival cells are experimented with static and impact load analysis in ANSYS Workbench. The length range of a single cell, the combination schemes of miner survival section, and the effectiveness proof of assembled rescue capsules were solved sequentially by simulated load analysis on constructed structural models. The modular combination rules of the survival section are developed for variant passenger number ranging from 8 to 20. It also provides a reference for the optimal selection of rescue capsules with the same capacity. The proposed modular rules are effective for the rapid configuration design for mine rescue capsule driven by the number of passengers. |
