Device and method thereof for operating stemming rod used for blasting and configured to include information collection function

A method for operating a stemming rod used for blasting and configured to include an information collection function, the method comprising:

• collecting, by a stemming material information collection unit, stemming material information comprising energy applied and compaction counts when filling a stemming material into a blast hole, from a sensor built into the stemming rod used for the blasting;
• performing, by a communication-performing unit, wireless communication with a detonator to be charged through a communication module built into the stemming rod used for the blasting;
• controlling, by a blasting time controller, a blasting time on the basis of detonator information and location information of the stemming rod used for the blasting, the information being collected from the communication-performing unit;
• and
• after the collecting of the stemming material information, comprising the information related to the energy applied and the compaction counts when filling the stemming material into the blast hole, from the sensor built into the stemming rod used for the blasting,
• determining a stemming-defective blast hole by comparing the stemming material information collected in real time and the normal stemming material information that is derived on the basis of a result of analyzing information related to the energy applied and the compaction counts when filling the stemming material and previously collected,
• wherein, in the controlling of the blasting time on the basis of the detonator information and the location information of the stemming rod used for the blasting, the information being collected from the communication-performing unit, the location of the blast hole is determined on the basis of the collected location information of the stemming rod used for the blasting, and
• the blasting time is controlled by reflecting a blasting time in milliseconds that is assigned by matching the detonator information according to the determined location of the blast hole, and
• wherein the sensor is any sensor that converts pressure and force transferred to the stemming rod to produce a signal that is measured and counted.
