In comparison with constant torque brakes, constant deceleration brakes are more advantageous for the safety of mining hoists, but complete set of such products manufactured by big companies are not what ordinary mining enterprises can afford. As an alternative solution, this article develops a constant deceleration compensation device, which adds the function of constant deceleration brake onto the original brakes. Control strategy based on Fuzzy Neural Network PID is investigated and simulated with the combination of AMEsim and Simulink. An actual device is built and tested in real industrial field. The application illustrates the feasibility of this constant deceleration compensation device, which can achieve constant decelerations within a very short time. This device will prevent dangerous decelerations from happening to hoists at a much lower cost, and greatly improve the safety and reliability of mining hoists.
