The invention discloses a 
coal mass strength 
distribution characteristic continuous detecting method and device. The method includes the steps of connecting a short-circuit 
test element for detecting the torque, drilling pressure and drilling depth of a real-time detection 
drill bit between the 
drill bit and a 
drill stem, recording and storing the detected torque, drilling pressure and time signals of the 
drill bit through the short-circuit 
test element, converting the torque, drilling pressure and time signals into vibration signals or electromagnetic signals, transmitting the vibration signals or electromagnetic signals to a 
signal receiver, conducting analysis through a 
signal processor to obtain a depth-torque curve and a depth-drilling 
pressure curve, and conducting comprehensive comparing and analyzing on the real-time curves and information stored in the short-circuit 
test element to obtain 
coal mass strength distribution characteristics. By means of the method and device, the current situations that underground 
coal mine coal 
mass strength testing complexity is high, advanced detection is difficult, and test results can hardly meet prediction requirements are broken through, the coal mass strength 
distribution characteristic continuous detection in the drilling process is achieved through drilling information, and the method is easy and convenient to implement, scientific in test principle, accurate in result, intelligent, efficient, advanced and practical and has great application prospects in the technical field of mine dynamic disaster forecasting and early warning.
