The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for managing registration and arrangement of a detonator. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a device and a method for managing registration and arrangement of a detonator, wherein the device and the method are configured such that, when an operator inputs a request for registration of a detonator, the detonator is arranged on a detonator hole number according to a blasting pattern pre-designed on the basis of arrangement information input by the operator or is arranged on the basis of an arrangement pattern of pre-arranged detonators.
The detonation system, which started with the method of attaching a fuse to an industrial detonator developed by Alfred Nobel in 1867, has been developed in a direction consistent with detonation, stability, and precision from an electronic detonator to a non-electric system. In particular, the electronic detonator developed in early 1990s to be used for special purposes with super-precision time difference by an electronic timer is differ from the existing detonation system in the precision per step for the detonation time per step and the method of imparting delay difference.
In the case of an electric detonator and a non-electric detonator that are most generalized and commonly used in blasting sites, the precision thereof has reached the unit of milli-seconds (MS). However, a detonator having a more accurate and precise delay time is increasingly required in today's blasting site. Since the delay time differences of the electric detonator and the non-electric detonator, which are commonly used in Korea, ranges from a minimum of 20˜25 ms to a maximum of thousands ms, when the precision thereof is set to ±10%, an error range thereof is in the range of 2 ms to hundreds ms. In domestic tunnel sites, blasting is usually performed by a delayed start detonation method, and it is difficult to determine a blasting pattern appropriate to the site due to the limited step and delayed time difference.
In this relation, a method for designing a tunnel-blasting pattern diagram and a recording medium with a program for providing a tunnel-blasting pattern diagram is disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2000-0061481.

Referring to
When an operator inputs a request for registration of a detonator (the detonator registration request), the detonator arrangement part 110 arranges the detonator on a detonator hole number according to the blasting pattern pre-designed on the basis of arrangement information input by the operator, or arranges the detonator according to an arrangement pattern of pre-arranged detonators.
When the detonator is included in a pre-set arrangement order, the detonator arrangement part 110 receives the arrangement information input by the operator, and manually arranges the detonator on the detonator hole number according to the pre-designed blasting pattern.
When the detonator is not included in the pre-set arrangement order, the detonator arrangement part 110 automatically arranges the detonator on the detonator hole number according to the pre-designed blasting pattern, on the basis of the arrangement pattern extracted from the detonators pre-arranged according to the arrangement information input by the operator. The pre-set arrangement order is an order recognizing a point of change from manual setting to automatic setting when the detonator is arranged in the pre-designed blasting pattern. Being included in the pre-designed arrangement order means that the detonator is arranged in the pre-designed blasting pattern by the manual setting, and being not included in the pre-designed arrangement order means that the detonator is arranged in the pre-designed blasting pattern by the automatic setting. Furthermore, the arrangement order is not limited thereto and may be pre-set freely.
When the preset arrangement order is from a third detonator, when the operator tries to register a first detonator, in the detonator arrangement part 110, the first detonator is manually arranged in a detonator hole number at any position of the pre-designed blasting pattern. In addition, when the operator tries to register a second detonator, the second detonator is manually arranged in a detonator hole number at any position of the pre-designed blasting pattern. In addition, when the operator tries to register a third detonator, the detonator is arranged at a detonator hole number automatically set according to the arrangement pattern extracted from the first and second detonators that are arranged earlier.
When the detonator is arranged and registered, the detonator arrangement part 110 stores current location information of the detonator and assigns an ID to the detonator.
The arrangement result analysis part 120 analyzes an arrangement result of the detonator arranged according to the arrangement pattern of the pre-arranged detonators.
The arrangement result analysis part 120 analyzes the arrangement result of the detonator by comparing time difference between a delay time interval between the arranged detonators and a delay time interval pre-designed in the blasting pattern to a pre-set time error reference value, and by comparing distance difference between current location information of the detonator, which is stored when the detonator is arranged and registered, and location information pre-designed in the blasting pattern to a pre-set distance error reference value.
When the analyzed arrangement result has an error, the arrangement error notification part 130 provides a notification to the operator.
When there is an error in either a result of comparing the time difference between the delay time interval between the arranged detonators and the delay time interval pre-designed in the blasting pattern to the pre-set time error reference value or a result of comparing the distance difference between the current location information of the stored detonator and the location information pre-designed in the blasting pattern to the pre-set distance error reference value, the arrangement error notification part 130 provides the notification to the operator.
As described above, when the error notification is provided to the operator, the operator can manually arrange the detonator on the appropriate detonator hole number.
Referring to
In order to achieve the above operation, the detonator arrangement part 110 includes an arrangement order determination part 111, a manual arrangement registration part 112, an arrangement pattern extraction part 113, and an automatic arrangement registration part 114.
When the operator inputs the detonator registration request, the arrangement order determination part 111 determines whether the detonator is included in the pre-set arrangement order.
When the detonator is included in the pre-set arrangement order, the manual arrangement registration part 112 receives the arrangement information input by the operator, and manually arranges and registers the detonator on the detonator hole number according to the pre-designed blasting pattern.
The arrangement pattern extraction part 113 extracts the arrangement the arrangement pattern between the detonators that are included in the pre-set arrangement order and manually arranged on the detonator hole numbers according to the blasting pattern pre-designed on the basis of the arrangement information input by the operator.
The arrangement pattern extraction part 113 may extract the arrangement pattern with the following equation.
When the detonator is not included in the pre-set arrangement order, the automatic arrangement registration part 114 automatically arranges the detonator on the detonator hole number according to the pre-designed blasting pattern, on the basis of the arrangement pattern extracted from the detonators pre-arranged according to the arrangement information input by the operator.
Referring to
In order to achieve the above operation, the arrangement result analysis part 120 includes an initialization time pattern comparison part 121 and a location information comparison part 122.
The initialization time pattern comparison part 121 compares the time difference between the delay time interval between the arranged detonators and the delay time interval pre-designed in the blasting pattern to the pre-set time error reference value to analyze the arrangement result of the arranged detonator, thereby determining whether the error occurs. Equation used therein is as follows.
When the time difference between the delay time interval between the arranged detonators and the delay time interval pre-designed in the blasting pattern exceeds the pre-set time error reference value, the initialization time pattern comparison part 121 determines that the error occurs.
The location information comparison part 122 compares the distance difference between the current location information of the detonator, which is stored when the detonator is arranged and registered, and the location information pre-designed in the blasting pattern to the pre-set distance error reference value to analyze the arrangement result of the arranged detonator, thereby determining whether the error occurs. Equation used therein is as follows.
ΔGPS−ΔCoordinatedesigned<Max.error [Equation 3]
When the distance difference between the current location information of the detonator stored when the detonator is arranged and registered and the location information pre-designed in the blasting pattern exceeds the pre-set distance error reference value, the location information comparison part 122 determines that the error occurs.
