Abstract: Considering the low intelligence level of the existing step-by-step self-moving tail equipment in fully mechanized roadway and the lack of research on intelligent control technology, the intelligent control technology is studied. According to the structural characteristics, working principle and working conditions of the self-moving machine tail and the requirements put forward by the intelligent coal mine acceptance method issued by the state for the intelligent tail of the belt conveyor, this paper puts forward the overall design scheme of the self-moving machine tail control system. The software and hardware systems are designed for one-button self-shift control technology, multi-machine linkage control technology and personnel approach identification and intrusion early warning technology. The intelligent control technology of self-moving tail studied in this paper is applied to the heading face of 31107 transportation trough in Halagou Coal Mine of Shenhua Group Shendong Coal Co., Ltd., and more than 1000 meters of driving operation is successfully applied, and the field use is good. The intelligent control of self-moving tail can be realized. The personnel approach identification and intrusion early warning technology studied in this paper can accurately locate the people around the tail of the self-moving machine, and the posi-tioning error is less than 30cm, and can identify the personnel after entering the dangerous area, which improves the safety of the self-moving tail equipment. The research results of this paper can provide support for the in-telligent construction of underground heading face in coal mine.
