Abstract
Drill bit failure is a prominent concern in the drilling process of any mine, as it can lead to increased mining costs. Over the years, the detection of drill bit failure has been based on the operator’s skills and experience, which are subjective and susceptible to errors. To enhance the efficiency of mining operations, it is necessary to implement applications of artificial intelligence to produce a superior method for drill bit monitoring. This research proposes a new and reliable method to detect drill bit failure in rotary percussion drills using deep learning: a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) with time-acceleration as input data. 18 m3 of granite rock were drilled horizontally using a rock drill and intact tungsten carbide drill bits. The time acceleration of drill vibrations was measured using acceleration sensors mounted on the guide cell of the rock drill. The drill bit failure detection model was evaluated on five drilling conditions: normal, defective, abrasion, high pressure, and misdirection. The model achieved a classification accuracy of 88.7%. The proposed model was compared to three state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep learning neural networks. The model outperformed SOTA methods in terms of classification accuracy. Our method provides an automatic and reliable way to detect drill bit failure in rotary percussion drills.
