Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of coal mine safety monitoring and early warning, and relates to a real-time over-limit early warning method based on characteristic changes of gas concentration. Background Art

[0002] Gas (primarily methane) in underground coal mines is one of the most hazardous gases to coal mine safety due to its flammability, explosiveness, and asphyxiation. To ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, real-time and accurate monitoring and early warning of underground gas concentrations are crucial.

[0003] Currently, the gas monitoring systems widely used in coal mines rely primarily on fixed sensors deployed in roadways or working faces. These sensors continuously sample and measure gas concentrations. When the monitored concentration exceeds a pre-set static safety threshold, the system triggers an alarm.

[0004] Although existing monitoring systems achieve real-time data collection, they still have the following three significant limitations in practical applications:

[0005] 1) Limitations of Static Threshold Alarm Mechanisms: Traditional alarm mechanisms rely on fixed concentration thresholds. This approach struggles to effectively distinguish between different types of risks, such as a rapid surge in gas concentration (e.g., a sudden leak) and a slow, sustained increase (e.g., gas accumulation). For the former, the system may miss warnings due to data filtering or sampling delays, missing the optimal warning opportunity. For the latter, false alarms may occur due to environmental factors (e.g., temperature and humidity changes) or sensor drift. Frequent false alarms can reduce staff vigilance.

[0006] 2) Weak anti-interference capabilities of single detection algorithms: Current systems often use simple threshold comparison or first-order difference methods to determine changes in gas concentration. These algorithms are simple models and lack anti-interference capabilities in the complex underground environment. For example, normal airflow fluctuations caused by ventilation equipment or gas pulsation can be misjudged as anomalies, resulting in unstable alarm level determination and reducing the overall reliability of early warning decisions.

[0007] 3) Lack of comprehensive multi-indicator risk assessment capabilities: Current monitoring solutions primarily focus on a single instantaneous concentration value, failing to provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional assessment of gas risk. These systems overlook key characteristic indicators, such as the steepness of concentration trends, the magnitude of concentration fluctuations, and the duration of concentration excursions. Due to the lack of effective grading and integrated analysis of these indicators, the system is unable to achieve refined and differentiated management of gas risks, making it difficult to provide scientific, multi-dimensional decision support for safe production scheduling based on risk levels.

[0008] In summary, existing coal mine gas monitoring technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of early warning accuracy, reliability, and comprehensive risk assessment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new gas monitoring technologies that can overcome these shortcomings, particularly for critical areas such as underground working faces and tunneling surfaces, to significantly improve early warning accuracy and scientific decision-making. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a real-time over-limit warning method based on changes in gas concentration characteristics, to solve the defects of the existing technology that a single threshold or simple differential algorithm is difficult to take into account both sudden leakage (rapid rise in concentration) and slow accumulation risk, and is susceptible to noise interference such as gas pulsation and ventilation fluctuations, leading to false alarms or missed reports, as well as the lack of a systematic classification and fusion decision-making mechanism for multi-dimensional features such as concentration change trends, fluctuation amplitudes, and over-limit durations. This method combines dynamic classification of concentration intervals with voting fusion strategies to achieve refined identification and graded warning of gas risk situations, significantly improving the timeliness and accuracy of alarms.

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0011] Option 1:

[0012] A real-time over-limit warning method based on changes in gas concentration characteristics, comprising:

[0013] (1) Data collection: A gas sensor network deployed at the working face and tunneling face collects real-time gas concentration time series data;

[0014] (2) Concentration interval classification, including threshold interval, alarm color and alarm score;

[0015] (3) Data processing: First, the collected gas concentration time series data are preprocessed, and then the three alarm scores are calculated using the amplification change bandwidth determination method (ACBDI), exponential smoothing difference method (ESDI) and sliding window Z score method (ZDAI), which correspond to the alarm scores in the concentration interval classification;

[0016] (4) Voting fusion: At the same sampling moment, the three calculated alarm scores are aligned synchronously, and then the final warning information is determined according to the voting fusion rules;

[0017] (5) Visual output of warning information.

[0018] Furthermore, for data collection, the gas sensor network includes multiple fixed-mounted gas concentration monitoring devices and portable gas concentration monitoring devices carried by workers. The fixed-mounted gas concentration monitoring devices utilize a portable, retractable support structure, foldable and securely supported by hinges and fixed clips, ensuring stable installation in extremely thin coal seams. The portable monitoring devices are equipped with 5G signal transmission ports for real-time data transmission.

[0019] Furthermore, the concentration interval classification is based on the threshold interval division of the "red, orange, yellow, and blue" alarm levels commonly used in coal mines. The specific threshold intervals and corresponding scores are as follows:

[0020] When the threshold interval is [0%, 0.55%), the alarm color is blue and the alarm score is 1;

[0021] When the threshold interval is [0.55%, 0.7%), the alarm color is yellow and the alarm score is 2;

[0022] When the threshold interval is [0.7%, 1.0%), the alarm color is orange and the alarm score is 3;

[0023] When the threshold interval is 1.0% and above, the alarm color is red and the alarm score is 4.

[0024] Furthermore, during data processing, the Amplitude Change Bandwidth Determination Method (ACBDI) is used to quantify the severity of gas concentration fluctuations and capture rapid concentration increases through bandwidth increase trends. The specific steps are as follows:

[0025] Step 1: Parameter setting:

[0026] Set the sliding window w (default is 30), bandwidth multiplier k (default is 1.5), and continuous growth threshold h1 (default is 5);

[0027] Step 2: Calculate the moving average and standard deviation:

[0028] For each time t, based on the first w sampling points, i.e., the sliding window p t-w+1 ,…,p t Calculate the moving average and standard deviation using the following formula:

[0029]

[0030] Among them, SMA t and STDs t They represent the moving average and standard deviation at time t respectively;

[0031] Step 3: Calculate the upper and lower tracks and bandwidth using the following formula:

[0032] Uppert =SMA t +k*STD t

[0033] Lower t =SMA t -k*STD t

[0034] Band t =Upper t -Lower t

[0035] Among them, Upper t and Lower t Respectively represent the upper and lower rails at time t; Bnad t represents the bandwidth at time t;

[0036] Step 4: Amplification judgment and alarm:

[0037] Compare the moving average, upper track line, and bandwidth of the current moment with those of the previous moment; when the three show an upward trend at the same time, that is, SMA t >SMA t-1 ,Upper t >Upper t-1 ,Band t >Band t-1 If the condition is met continuously within h1 sampling points (time window), the corresponding alarm score score will be triggered according to the concentration interval. a , and output the trigger time point.

[0038] Furthermore, in data processing, the exponential smoothing difference method (ESDI) is used to quantify the trend change and acceleration intensity of gas concentration, and to capture signal reversal or acceleration scenarios through short-term and long-term exponential smoothing differences. The specific steps are as follows:

[0039] Step 1: Parameter setting:

[0040] Set the short-term exponential moving average window s w (Default is 30), long-term exponential moving average window l w (Default is 60); signal line smoothing window sl w (default is 30), continuous growth threshold h2 (default is 2);

[0041] Step 2: Calculate the short-term and long-term exponential moving averages (EMA):

[0042] For each time instant t, use the short-term exponential smoothing factor and the long-term exponential smoothing factor Calculate short-term and long-term exponential moving averages;

[0043]

[0044]

[0045] in, represents the short-term exponential moving average at time t, represents the long-term exponential moving average at time t; P t Indicates the gas concentration value at the current time t.

[0046] Step 3: Find the difference line DIF and the signal line SIG

[0047]

[0048] SIG(t)=(DIF(t-sl w +1)+…+DIF(t)) / sl w

[0049] Histogram(t)=DIF(t)-SIG(t)

[0050] Where DIF(t) represents the difference line at time t, SIG(t) represents the signal line at time t, and Histogram(t) represents the difference value at time t;

[0051] Step 4: Amplification judgment and alarm:

[0052] When any sequence rises continuously at adjacent moments, such as DIF(t)>DIF(t-1), SIG(t)>SIG(t-1) or Histogram(t)>Histogram(t-1); if it is continuously satisfied within the continuous growth of h2 sampling points (time window), the corresponding alarm score score is triggered according to the concentration interval classification. e , and output the trigger time point.

[0053] Furthermore, during data processing, the sliding window Z-score method (ZDAI) is used to quantify abnormal deviations in the statistical distribution of gas concentration. Abnormal concentration peaks are captured by comparing the Z-score within the sliding window with the quantile threshold. The specific steps are as follows:

[0054] Step 1: Parameter setting:

[0055] Set the sliding window w (default is 30), the percentile threshold Q (default is 0.95, corresponding to the 95% percentile), and the continuous exceeding threshold h3 (default is 2);

[0056] Step 2: Calculate the moving average and standard deviation:

[0057] For each time t, based on the first w sampling points, i.e., the sliding window p t-w+1 ,…,p t Calculate the moving average and standard deviation using the following formula:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, SMA t and STDs t They represent the moving average and standard deviation at time t respectively;

[0060] Step 3: Find the Z score at the current moment:

[0061]

[0062] Among them, Z t represents the Z score at time t;

[0063] Step 4: Determine the dynamic threshold:

[0064] In the same sliding window, sort the first w Z scores and take the Qth quantile as the Threshold t ;Threshold t =Quantile({Z t-w+1 ,…,Z t},Q);

[0065] Step 5: Anomaly detection and alarm:

[0066] Determine the current Z t Is it greater than Threshold? t and Z at the previous moment t-1 Compared with the previous period, there is an upward trend, that is, Z t >Z t-1 If the condition is met continuously within h3 sampling points (time window), the corresponding alarm score score will be triggered according to the concentration interval. z , and output the trigger time point.

[0067] Furthermore, the voting fusion rules are:

[0068] If any algorithm is not triggered at time t, its score is considered 0 to avoid missing the voting contribution of the unwarned algorithm;

[0069] Red priority: If any vote is rated as a red warning, a red warning will be output directly and subsequent score comparisons will be terminated;

[0070] All-vote warning: When all three algorithms are triggered (score > 0), and at least one of them is a red warning, the highest score and corresponding level are taken;

[0071] Majority of the same level: When all three algorithms are triggered and there is no red alert, the one with the most votes will be adopted first; if the three scores are different, the highest score will prevail;

[0072] Double vote evaluation: When there are exactly two algorithms triggered, if the two votes have the same score, the higher score will be used; if they are not equal, the higher score will be used;

[0073] Single-vote assessment: When only one vote is triggered, the algorithm score is directly used as the final warning level.

[0074] Furthermore, visual output specifically displays warning information through a graphical interface, including level identification, risk color, and algorithm traceability information, and supports two-dimensional and three-dimensional visualization of data. The system also has a data backup and recovery mechanism to ensure data security and reliability.

[0075] Solution 2: A real-time over-limit warning system based on changes in gas concentration characteristics, including: data acquisition layer, data processing layer, decision analysis layer and visualization output layer.

[0076] The data collection layer comprises a network of gas sensors deployed at the working and tunneling faces of the coal mine. This network consists of multiple fixed-mounted gas concentration monitoring devices and portable gas concentration monitoring devices carried by workers. The fixed-mounted gas concentration monitoring devices utilize a portable, retractable support structure, foldable and securely supported by hinges and fixed clips, ensuring stable installation in extremely thin coal seams. The portable monitoring devices are equipped with 5G signal transmission ports to enable real-time data transmission.

[0077] The data processing layer includes a data preprocessing module and an algorithm calculation module; the data preprocessing module filters the collected gas concentration time series data to eliminate noise interference such as gas pulsation and ventilation fluctuations; the algorithm calculation module executes three real-time detection algorithms in parallel: the amplification change bandwidth determination method (ACBDI), the exponential smoothing difference method (ESDI) and the sliding window Z score method (ZDAI); among them, the amplification change bandwidth determination method (ACBDI) quantifies the severity of gas concentration fluctuations through sliding window and bandwidth multiple calculation; the exponential smoothing difference method (ESDI) uses short-term and long-term exponential moving average calculations to quantify concentration trend changes; the sliding window Z score method (ZDAI) captures abnormal concentration peaks by comparing the Z-score within the sliding window with the quantile threshold.

[0078] The decision analysis layer includes a concentration interval classification module and a voting fusion module; the concentration interval classification module dynamically locates the risk interval according to the gas concentration value of the current sampling point and generates a concentration classification result; the voting fusion module performs fusion analysis based on the calculation results of the algorithm calculation module to generate a dynamic alarm level.

[0079] The visual output layer displays warning information through a graphical interface, including level identification, risk color, and algorithm traceability information. It also supports two-dimensional and three-dimensional visualization of data. The system also has a data backup and recovery mechanism to ensure data security and reliability.

[0080] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0081] (1) By executing three core detection algorithms, namely the amplification change bandwidth determination method (ACBDI), the exponential smoothing difference method (ESDI), and the sliding window Z score method (ZDAI), the dual risk modes of sudden jump and slow accumulation of gas concentration are captured collaboratively, overcoming the shortcomings of a single threshold or simple differential algorithm that is difficult to take into account multiple risks, and significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of early warning.

[0082] (2) The dynamic grading mechanism of concentration intervals, combined with the “red, orange, yellow, and blue” alarm level system, enables refined identification and graded warning of gas risks, enabling the system to more intuitively reflect the risk level of gas concentration changes, effectively reducing the false alarm rate and missed alarm rate.

[0083] (3) Based on the majority voting fusion mechanism, dynamic alarm levels are generated. Through the collaborative analysis of multi-source decision tickets, the system's comprehensive assessment capability of gas risks is improved, the timeliness and accuracy of early warning are enhanced, and a solid line of defense is built for the safety of miners' lives and the stable operation of mines.

[0084] (4) Through the coordinated use of three different algorithms, the system can effectively filter out noise interference such as gas pulsation and ventilation fluctuation, improve the robustness and reliability of the early warning, and effectively reduce the false alarm or missed alarm rate.

[0085] (5) The use of multi-dimensional feature analysis, including concentration trend, fluctuation amplitude, and duration of exceeding the limit, enables a comprehensive understanding of the complex changes in gas concentration and improves the timeliness and accuracy of early warning.

[0086] In summary, the present invention uses a multi-algorithm collaborative monitoring and voting fusion mechanism to accurately capture abnormal gas concentration trends and simultaneously perceive the dual risks of sudden jumps and slow accumulation; the concentration grading system constructs an intuitive risk spectrum and significantly enhances the system's anti-interference robustness; while significantly reducing the false alarm rate and missed alarm rate, it comprehensively improves the timeliness and accuracy of the alarm, deeply meeting the high reliability requirements of underground coal mine safety production, and building a solid line of defense for the safety of miners' lives and the stable operation of mines.
