Study on the Technological Transformation of Electric Locomotives and Mining Safety Standards

Abstract

This paper delves into the technological transformation of mining electric locomotives and its significance in enhancing the intrinsic safety of mining equipment. It analyzes the primary safety issues and technical challenges faced by current mining electric locomotives during operation, including electrical system failures, mechanical component wear, and operational errors. In response to these problems, a series of technological transformation measures are proposed, such as chopper control system optimization, intelligent charging system integration, and braking system improvements, aiming to enhance the operational efficiency and safety of the locomotives. Additionally, the requirements of national mining safety standards are discussed, along with how technological transformations can align the locomotives with these standards. This paper will contribute to reducing the accident rate of mining electric locomotives and mitigating potential safety hazards; it will elevate the overall safety management level of mining enterprises; and it will provide theoretical support and practical guidance for relevant technical personne.
