总结:The equipment investment is large and the annual operating cost is high in oversized open-pit mines. The rationality of the truck-shovel selection and matching has a more prominent influence on the economic benefit of mines. Therefore, we set up an optimization method of truck-shovel selection for oversized open-pit mines, and developed a software system of truck-shovel matching to solve the problem of truck-shovel selection and matching for oversized open-pit mines. First, based on the likelihood statistics method to decide the reasonable quantity range of shovels in the oversized open-pit mine, the selection and matching of shovels under different production scales are realized according to the production ability equation of shovels. Then, according to the principal of deciding the truck by shovel, and by deciding the shovel equipment, the truck-shovel efficiency model is constructed, the proper bucket-to-capacity ratio is obtained in the oversized open-pit mine, and the economic range of truck matching under different shovel specifications is determined by the bucket-to-ability ratio. Finally, using this method, the software system of truck-shovel matching is developed by using C# language, which can automatically calculate the quantity of equipment and the material consumption. The results show that the reasonable number of shovels for the oversized open-pit mine should be 4~7, and the bucket-to-capacity ratio should be 4~5:1. When the annual excavation quantity of the mine is 80~150 million tons, the 35~55 m<sup>3</sup> shovels should be the mainstream specification. The research results were applied to a new oversized open-pit mine in Tibet, China, and the problem of equipment selection was solved.
