Abstract: For large-scale mine pits, the safety personnel cannot safely withdraw to the ground within a short period of time after the disaster, so they can only wait for rescue in the refuge chamber and cannot escape to the ground in time. Aiming at this problem, this paper puts forward the idea of combining the refuge chamber with the escape route directly to the ground.Based on the features of mining in Buertai coal mine of Shendong mining area and the existing conditions, a small channels quick emergency escape system for coal mine was designed and studied on the basic parameters of the lifting chamber, the layout and size of emergency escape route, the parameters of the lifting system and the main equipment in the system. The escape system transforms the passive rescue after the disaster in the coal mine into active escape, which has positive significance for reducing the supporting facilities of the refuge chamber and reducing the loss of mine disaster.
