Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a mining training system that is developed to replicate hazardous and physically demanding environments encountered in underground mining operations in order to enhance trainee preparedness, improve decision-making under stress, and ensure compliance with safety protocols, thus provide training solutions aimed at equipping individuals with practical readiness for high-risk, low-visibility, and health-sensitive conditions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Underground mining environments pose extreme risks including poor visibility, harmful gases, unstable terrain, and complex tool operations. Training individuals for such hazardous conditions has traditionally relied on classroom-based theory, static physical mock-ups, or basic video simulations. These methods often fail to replicate the multisensory and real-time physical challenges miners face in actual conditions. Trainees are unable to experience dynamic hazards like gas leaks or unstable ground shifts, which limits preparedness. The absence of responsive feedback or real-time behavioural monitoring in such setups also restricts the ability to correct unsafe actions, resulting in a learning gap between training and field deployment.

[0003] Conventionally, underground mining training was conducted primarily through classroom instruction and textbook-based learning, where trainees were taught about mine layouts, safety protocols, and emergency responses using printed materials and verbal explanations. This was followed by the introduction of 2D diagrams, physical models, and mock-up tunnels, which offered some degree of spatial understanding but lacked realism. Eventually, video tutorials and basic simulation videos became common, helping users visualize underground conditions, though these remained passive and non-interactive. However, early training methods failed to simulate the complexity and unpredictability of real underground environments—such as sudden terrain shifts, gas leaks, or reduced visibility. Also, passive learning tools like videos or lectures did not fully engage trainees or test their real-time decision-making and response skills.

The invention solves the problem of personnel training for the control system of the coal mine with few people or unmanned working faces, and improves the quality and safety of the control. The invention has good interactivity and sense of reality, reasonable design, strong practicability and high promotion and application value.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems have been developed that are capable of providing mining training to workers. However, these systems are incapable of providing guidance and visual cues when simulated hazards are introduced. Additionally, these existing systems also lack in simulating harmful environmental factors such as gas leaks and fails to particulate exposure in a controlled and measurable manner.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that is capable of delivering context-specific guidance and visual cues when simulated hazards are introduced, thereby enhancing learning outcomes and situational awareness.

[0019] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to a mining training system that enable safe engagement with artificially constructed underground conditions that mirror tactile, perceptive, and task-based elements of actual mining tasks, all without direct contact with hazardous field operations.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, a perspective view of a mining training system is illustrated, comprising a housing 101 associated with the system 100 and installed with a hinged door 102, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 is installed on entrance of the housing 101, plurality of display units 104 provided on walls of the housing 101, plurality of pneumatic actuators 105 are positioned below floor of the housing 101, a wearable headgear 106 associated with the system 100, multiple scent diffusers 107 are positioned inside the housing 101, a motorized augmented reality (AR) visor 108 installed on the headgear 106, a plurality of diffusing units 109 provided on walls of the housing 101, a speaker 110 provided with the headgear 106, a deployable mask 111 integrated into the headgear 106, plurality of vibration motors 112 installed inside the headgear 106.

[0023] The system 100 disclosed herein is comprising of a housing 101 which is constructed to facilitate access by a user for the purpose of participating in underground mining training exercises. The housing 101 is equipped with a hinged door 102, mechanically configured to permit controlled entry and exit. The structural design of the housing 101 is intended to simulate a confined underground environment and is dimensioned to accommodate a user in a manner consistent with training protocols for subterranean operations. Access through the hinged door 102 serves as the designated entry point for initiating the training session within the enclosed space, ensuring a secure and immersive environment reflective of actual underground conditions.

[0024] The door 102 is coupled with a hinge joint, wherein the hinge joint mentioned above is preferably a motorized hinge joint that involves the use of an electric motor to control the movement of the hinge and the connected component. The hinge joint provides the pivot point around which the movement occurs. The motor is the core component responsible for generating the rotational motion. It converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy, producing the necessary torque that drives the hinge joint. As the motor rotates, the motorized hinge joint tilts and open the door 102 to allow the user to enter the housing 101 for underground mining training.

[0025] On entrance of the housing 101, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 is installed, that paired with a facial recognition protocol to identify an authenticated user and check for proper protective equipment before granting access. The imaging unit 103 disclosed herein comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the user and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 103 in form of an optical data.

[0026] The imaging unit 103 also comprises of the processor which processes the captured images. This pre-processing involves tasks such as noise reduction, image stabilization, or color correction. The processed data is fed into AI protocols for analysis which utilizes machine learning techniques, such as deep learning neural networks, to extract meaningful information from the visual data which are processed by the microcontroller to identify the authenticated user and check for proper protective equipment before granting access.

[0027] The facial recognition protocol operates by capturing an image of the user's face through the imaging unit 103. This image is converted into a digital template using feature extraction algorithms that map key facial landmarks such as eye spacing, jawline, and nose shape. The generated template is compared to a database of stored templates representing authorized individuals. If a match is found within the acceptable confidence threshold, the identity is confirmed. Simultaneously, the protocol checks for the presence of safety gear by analyzing visual patterns consistent with helmets, goggles, or masks. Upon successful verification, access is approved by the microcontroller.

[0028] On walls of the housing 101 multiple display units 104 are installed to stimulate underground mine visuals for training purposes. The display unit comprises an LED or LCD screen, a control board, a backlight arrangement, and input connectors. The LED / LCD screen serves as the main visual output, while the control board manages data input and image processing. The backlight arrangement, often made of LEDs, illuminates the screen, ensuring visibility. When information is sent to the display, the control board processes the data and directs the LED / LCD pixels to show specific colors, creating images or text. The backlight adjusts brightness for optimal clarity. This combined functionality enables the units 104 to accurately stimulate underground mine visuals for training purposes.

[0029] Synchronously, the microcontroller regulates the actuation of plurality of pneumatic actuators 105 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) that are positioned below floor of the housing 101. The actuators 105 are pneumatically actuated, wherein the pneumatic arrangement of the actuators 105 comprises of a cylinder incorporated with an air piston and the air compressor, wherein the compressor controls discharging of compressed air into the cylinder via air valves which further leads to the extension/retraction of the piston. The piston is attached to the telescopic actuators 105, wherein the extension/retraction of the piston corresponds to the extension/retraction of the actuators 105. The actuated compressor allows extension of the actuators 105 to recreate changing ground conditions to prepare the user for physical obstacles commonly encountered in underground mining environments.

[0030] A wearable headgear 106 is integrated with the system 100 and is specifically designed to be worn by the user over the head portion. The headgear 106 is configured to securely fit the user’s head, ensuring comfort and stability during the training. A plurality of scent diffusers 107 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) is strategically positioned inside the housing 101, each specifically designed to release odors that resemble hazardous gases. These diffusers 107 simulate a gas leak scenario, providing a sensory experience that mirrors real-world conditions encountered in underground mining environments.

[0031] By emitting controlled amounts of specific scents, the diffusers 107 assist in creating a realistic and immersive training environment, allowing the user to detect and respond to simulated gas leaks. This enhances the training experience by engaging the user's olfactory senses in addition to visual and auditory cues.

[0032] The scent diffusers 107 operate by dispersing predetermined amounts of odorants into the air, mimicking the characteristics of hazardous gases. These diffusers 107 use a blend of odorants stored in cartridges or reservoirs, which are pumped or expelled through nozzles to create a targeted dispersal pattern. The diffusers 107 are synchronized with the training simulation, releasing varying levels of scent intensity based on the parameters set by the training scenario, such as the proximity of the hazard or the duration of exposure. The timing and concentration of the Odor release is adjusted by the microcontroller to replicate different stages of a gas leak, providing the user with real-time sensory feedback during training.

[0033] A motorized augmented reality (AR) visor 108 is integrated with the headgear 106 and configured to enhance the user's training experience by providing real-time visual feedback in response to hazardous environmental conditions. Upon detection of hazardous gases in the surrounding environment, the visor 108 activates and displays a visual warning on its screen, alerting the user to the potential danger. In conjunction with this warning, the visor 108 presents detailed instructions on how to respond effectively to the gas leak scenario, including highlighting escape routes, specifying necessary safety equipment, and outlining critical safety protocols. This visual guidance is dynamically adjusted based on the user's actions and environmental changes to ensure continuous and accurate support throughout the training.

[0034] Also, the visor 108 provides step-by-step visual and textual instructions to the user for the operation of various mining tools and machines during designated training sessions. The instructions are delivered through the augmented reality screen, wherein operational procedures are superimposed onto the user’s field of view in real time, corresponding to the specific equipment being used. This ensures that the user receives accurate, interactive guidance necessary for compliant and safe training in accordance with applicable industry and occupational safety standards.

[0035] A plurality of diffusing units 109 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) is provided on the walls of the housing 101 and operatively connected to a chamber mounted on the interior of the housing 101, wherein the chamber is configured to store coal particulates. The microcontroller herein actuates the diffusing units 109 for the controlled release of coal dust into the environment enclosed within the housing 101. The release is executed in a regulated manner to simulate realistic exposure conditions to harmful particulate matter for training or testing purposes. This ensures controlled atmospheric dispersion of particulate material consistent with safety, regulatory, and procedural requirements.

[0036] Upon actuation the diffusing units 109 opens an internal valve connected to the coal particulate chamber. A precision actuator controls the valve’s opening, regulating the flow rate of coal dust into the air. The quantity and duration of dispersion are governed by timing and flow parameters stored in the microcontroller’s memory. The microcontroller continuously monitors the operational status of each unit 109 to ensure proper function and uniform distribution during the simulation process.

[0037] Once the valve is actuated, the diffusing units 109 employs a pressurized air mechanism to disperse the coal particulates evenly into the surrounding airspace. The particulates are broken down into finer particles if needed by a built-in mesh or agitator. The dispersal pattern is designed to mimic airborne dust conditions found in real-world mining or industrial environments. The diffusing units 109 nozzle or outlet is shaped to optimize spread and prevent clogging. After the programmed cycle, the unit 109 automatically closes the valve and resets, readying for the next activation sequence under the control of the microcontroller.

[0038] The microcontroller herein monitors dust level via a dust sensor which embedded within the housing 101. The dust sensor is an optical dust sensor that uses an optical sensing method to detect dust. A photo sensor and an infrared light-emitting diode which is known as an infrared LED are optically arranged in the dust sensor. The photo-sensor detects the reflected infrared LED rays which are bounced off of the dust particles present within the housing 101. The reflected infrared LED rays are converted into an analog value which is further converted into an electrical signal, wherein the electrical signal is sent to the microcontroller. Thus, the microcontroller processes and detects the presence of dust within the housing 101 Based upon the detected dust present within the housing 101, the microcontroller monitor airborne dust levels within the environment.

[0039] Upon detection of dust concentrations exceeding predetermined threshold levels, the microcontroller activates a speaker 110 provided with the headgear 106 to audibly alert the user. The speaker 110, emits an audible warning tone designed to catch the user's attention in noisy environments. The tone is generated based on preloaded audio files or synthesized signals stored in the microcontroller's memory. The microcontroller ensures the alert volume and tone duration meet occupational safety communication standards for effective hazard notification.

[0040] Subsequently after initial alert, the microcontroller continues the speaker 110’s operation by triggering playback of pre-recorded verbal instructions. These instructions are selected based on the specific dust type and exposure level detected. The output is calibrated for clarity, ensuring the user understands each protective action advised, such as donning a respirator or evacuating the area. The speaker 110 playback continues until the user acknowledges the alert or dust levels subside below the threshold, after which the microcontroller ceases audio output.

[0041] A deployable mask 111 is integrated into the headgear 106 and is configured to be manually deployed by the user in front of the mouth portion of the body upon receiving a warning signal from the microcontroller. The microcontroller, operatively connected to the dust sensor, continuously monitors airborne particulate levels. When the dust concentration exceeds a predefined threshold value, the microcontroller via the speaker 110, prompts the user to manually deploy the mask 111. The mask 111 is structurally housed within the headgear 106 in a retracted position and is designed for immediate access and secure placement over the mouth area to facilitate respiratory protection in compliance with applicable health and safety protocols.

[0042] A sensing module is integrated with the inner portion of the headgear 106 and comprises a Photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor, a respiratory rate sensor, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor. The sensing module is configured to continuously monitor and evaluate the physiological parameters and body movements of the user throughout the duration of training. Each sensor operates in coordination under control of the microcontroller to collect real-time biometric and motion data. This configuration enables ongoing assessment of the user’s physical condition and responsiveness, ensuring compliance with health, safety, and performance monitoring standards during operational or training scenarios.

[0043] The PPG sensor uses a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photodetector to measure blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue. The sensor emits light into the user’s skin and detects the variations in light absorption caused by pulsing blood flow. The resulting signal is processed to determine heart rate and pulse patterns. The microcontroller receives these signals and filters noise through digital algorithms to maintain signal clarity. Data is continuously recorded and analyzed by the microcontroller to monitor the user’s cardiovascular status during training. The PPG sensor operates in real time and synchronizes with other biometric sensors for comprehensive physiological monitoring.

[0044] The respiratory rate sensor monitors the expansion and contraction of the user’s chest or air temperature changes near the nostrils to track breathing cycles. The sensor uses a thermal sensor, to detect each inhalation and exhalation. Signals generated by the sensor are transmitted to the microcontroller, which calculates the respiratory rate by measuring the time intervals between breathing cycles. The data is processed and displayed or stored for further evaluation. The sensor continuously operates during training, ensuring real-time tracking of the user’s respiratory status for safety and performance assessment purposes.

[0045] The inertial measurement unit (IMU) combines accelerometers, gyroscopes, and sometimes magnetometers to detect and measure the user’s movement, orientation, and acceleration. The IMU captures three-dimensional motion data, which is sent to the microcontroller for processing. This data enables detection of posture, head tilt, sudden impacts, or falls. The microcontroller uses sensor fusion protocols to analyze and correct for drift or noise, ensuring accurate movement tracking. The IMU operates continuously during training to provide real-time monitoring of user mobility and spatial behaviour, contributing to both safety assessments and performance evaluation metrics.

[0046] The GSR sensor measures the electrical conductance of the user’s skin, which varies with moisture levels due to sweating—an indicator of emotional arousal or stress. Electrodes in contact with the skin detect these conductance changes and convert them into analog signals. These signals are transmitted to the microcontroller, which processes the data to assess stress levels or physiological responses to training conditions.

[0047] A plurality of vibration motors 112 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) is installed inside said headgear 106 and are configured to generate haptic feedback during hazard simulation. The vibration motors 112 are selectively actuated by the microcontroller based on simulated environmental or operational triggers, wherein the generated vibrations serve to physically alert the user through tactile sensation, enhancing hazard awareness and reinforcing appropriate behavioural responses during underground mining training scenarios.

[0048] The vibration motors 112 operate by rotating an off-centered mass attached to their shaft when electric current is supplied. This rotation creates an imbalance, producing vibrations. During hazard simulation, the microcontroller sends activation signals to the vibration motors 112, causing them to vibrate at predefined patterns and intensities. These vibrations are transmitted through the headgear 106, providing real-time tactile alerts to the user. The variation in vibration strength and duration corresponds to different simulated hazard conditions, enabling the user to distinguish between warning levels and take specific pre-trained actions in response to each type of simulated danger encountered during the training session.

[0049] The pneumatic actuators 105 and vibration motors 112 are operatively integrated and configured to function in a synchronized manner to simulate emergency conditions for the user during training exercises. Upon activation by the microcontroller, the pneumatic actuators 105 generate physical force or pressure to replicate dynamic environmental effects, while the vibration motors 112 produce localized tactile feedback. This synchronized operation is designed to emulate realistic emergency scenarios, such as structural tremors or equipment malfunctions, thereby enhancing the user’s situational awareness and preparedness. The system 100 ensures that the timing, intensity, and duration of these effects align with programmed emergency conditions in accordance with safety training protocols.

[0050] Further a computing unit is operatively and wirelessly connected with the microcontroller and is configured to systematically record and retain performance-related data generated during each completed training session. The data comprises metrics including, but not limited to, individual response durations, precision in handling simulated operational tools, and the degree of compliance with defined safety procedures. The system 100 further permits authorized users and supervisory personnel to remotely retrieve, examine, and evaluate the data, thereby facilitating ongoing monitoring of individual performance, identification of procedural deficiencies, and comprehensive assessment of a trainee's preparedness for transition into actual underground mining operations.

[0051] Moreover, a battery is associated with the system 100 for powering up electrical and electronically operated components associated with the system 100 and supplying a voltage to the components. The battery used herein is preferably a Lithium-ion battery which is a rechargeable unit that demands power supply after getting drained. The battery stores the electric current derived from an external source in the form of chemical energy, which when required by the electronic component of the system 100, derives the required power from the battery for proper functioning of the system 100.

[0052] The present invention works in the best manner, where the housing 101 is installed with the hinged door 102 that is accessed by the user to enter inside the housing 101 for underground mining training. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 identify the authenticated user and check for proper protective equipment before granting access. Plurality of display units 104 stimulate underground mine visuals for training purposes. Plurality of pneumatic actuators 105 simulate terrain variations to train the user for physical challenges experienced in underground mines. The wearable headgear 106 is associated with the system 100 and configured to be worn by the user over head portion. Multiple scent diffusers 107 release smells similar to hazardous gases to simulate the gas leak scenario. Thereafter the motorized augmented reality (AR) visor 108 display the visual warning and detailed instructions on screen of the visor 108 when hazardous gases are diffused in surroundings, guiding the in responding to gas leak scenario, highlighting escape routes and necessary equipment. Also, the visor 108 is configured to provide step-by-step visual and textual instructions to the user for operating various mining tools and machines during training sessions. Then plurality of diffusing units 109 is connected with the chamber stored with coal particulates release controlled amounts of coal dust to simulate exposure to harmful dust particles. The microcontroller is configured to alert the user audibly via the speaker 110 when the dust levels reach threshold levels, providing the user with instructions on protective measures to take.

[0053] In continuation, the deployable mask 111 is deployed in front of mouth portion of body manually upon receiving the warning from the microcontroller when dust levels as detected by the integrated dust sensor exceeds the threshold value. Afterwards the sensing module continuously evaluates physiological parameters, and body movements of the user during training. The microcontroller upon detecting improper responses, unsafe actions, or stress indicators during tool or machine operation, delivers real-time corrective instructions through the speaker 110 and AR visor 108 to improve safety and task execution. Further plurality of vibration motors 112 generates haptic feedback during hazard simulation. Furthermore, the computing unit is wirelessly linked with the microcontroller, configured to log, store performance data after each training session, including response times, tool handling accuracy, and safety protocol adherence in view of allowing user(s) and concerned personnel(s) to remotely access, review, and analyze user-specific data to track progress, thereby identify areas for improvement, and determine readiness for deployment into live mining environments.
