讨论了在设备选择不受限制的条件下地质条件对机采方式选择的影响 .地质条件包括多项指标 ,这些指标中有些是难以定量描述的 ,具有模糊性 .在现场调查的基础上 ,分析了几种薄煤层采煤机的机采方式及适应条件 .建立了缓倾斜薄煤层机采方式的模糊识别模型 ,模型能借鉴工程技术人员的经验 ,根据开采条件选择合理的机采方式 . This paper discusses the influence of geological conditions on the selection of mechanical mining method under the condition of unlimited equipment selection.Geological conditions include a number of indicators, some of which are difficult to describe quantitatively and have fuzziness.On the basis of field investigation, Several kinds of mining methods and conditions for the mining of thin coal seam shearers were established.Based on the experience of engineers and technicians, the fuzzy identification model of gently inclined thin seam mining method was established and a reasonable machine mining method was selected according to the mining conditions.
