Mine ecological restoration faces challenges such as complex terrain, poor soil quality, low efficiency, and a lack of specialized equipment. This study aims to develop a new, efficient, low-cost, and mechanization-friendly vegetation restoration method for mines to overcome the limitations of traditional techniques. An innovative vegetation restoration strategy for mining areas is proposed. The device of this strategy consists of two modules: a breeding rope and a laying device. The breeding rope can be pre-produced standardized in factories and then deployed at vegetation restoration sites using the laying device. The effectiveness of afforestation restoration is compared in terms of efficiency and economic benefits. The study demonstrates that the new method achieves a planting efficiency of 200-260 m²/h, with a comprehensive cost of approximately RMB 50 per square meter. In mine restoration, the new method requires less time compared to techniques such as spray seeding with mesh reinforcement, with its advantages becoming more pronounced on steeper slopes. Kinetic simulations verifies the reliability of the core components of the equipment: the working torque of the drive shaft is less than 12.2 kN·m, meeting strength design requirements, and the maximum load of the hydraulic system is less than 25 kN with sufficient margin. The breeding rope technology and its supporting equipment provide a quantifiable and scalable efficient solution for mine ecological restoration. This approach significantly enhances afforestation efficiency and economic benefits, playing a crucial role in advancing the transformation of mine greening from manual methods to mechanized and large-scale operations.
