Abstract:In mine backfilling engineering, the loop pipe experimental apparatus is a critical piece of equipment for studying the transport properties of backfill slurry, playing a significant role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the backfill system. The automation and intelligentization of the system equipment and experimental process for this apparatus represent a necessary trend. This paper focuses on the automation of a mobile backfill loop pipe experimental apparatus, which enables the centralized display of all measurement data, process flows, equipment status, and experimental parameters on a human-machine interface (HMI). Furthermore, equipment control and experimental parameter setting can be centrally operated via the HMI. The implementation of this system achieves the automated operation of the apparatus and the intelligentization of the experimental process, significantly enhancing the efficiency and data reliability of backfill slurry transport property research, and providing technological support for safeguarding the safe and efficient operation of the mine backfill system.
