  • Patent number: 11333476
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a blasting system. The blasting system includes: detonators disposed in blasting holes perforated in a blasting target, and provided to detonate explosives; and a worker terminal configured to be connected to any one of the detonators by a worker. Wherein the worker terminal includes: a storage part configured to store a blasting map; a terminal position generation part configured to generate a terminal position indicating a position of the worker terminal; and a determination part configured to receive the logging signal, and match the terminal position at the time when the worker terminal receives the logging signal with the blasting map to identify a detonator connected to the worker terminal.

  • Publication number: 20210333078
    Abstract: Provided is a method of operating a wireless blasting system in which a blasting device and electric detonators perform communications via a wireless network. Detonator reference times of the electric detonators are synchronized with a blasting reference time of the blasting device. Communication delay times of the electric detonators are calculated. The blasting device transmits a blasting command including a blasting time to the electric detonators. Whether or not the electric detonators are ready to perform blasting is determined by determining initial input states and detonator states of the electric detonators. When the electric detonators are ready, the electric detonators perform the blasting by counting ignition initialization times thereof in which the communication delay times are reflected.
