Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mine disaster early warning system technology, and in particular to an intelligent mine disaster early warning device and system. Background Technology

[0002] Current mine disaster early warning systems mainly monitor parameters such as underground stress, gas concentration, and microseismic activity in real time by deploying sensor networks, and combine them with threshold alarm mechanisms to achieve disaster early warning, playing an important role in preventing accidents such as roof falls, gas outbursts, and water inrushes.

[0003] However, traditional systems often use a single type of sensor to work independently. Stress monitoring relies on single-point pressure gauges, gas detection is limited to a single technical path of electrochemistry or infrared spectroscopy, and the accuracy of microseismic positioning is limited by the deployment method of planar arrays. This results in the incomplete capture of key precursor features such as stress field gradient changes, trace release of harmful gases, and spatial evolution of seismic sources, making it difficult to establish a multi-physics correlation analysis model.

[0004] Furthermore, existing sensors are prone to data distortion under conditions of strong electromagnetic interference and high humidity. The communication network lacks a dynamic anti-interference mechanism, and the fixed early warning threshold cannot adapt to the dynamic changes in underground geological conditions. False alarms or missed alarms often lead to unnecessary production stoppages or delays in handling the situation.

[0005] To address the above issues, we have developed an intelligent mine disaster early warning device and system. Summary of the Invention

[0058] This invention discloses an intelligent mine disaster early warning device and system.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an intelligent mine disaster early warning system includes:

[0060] The multimodal sensing array includes a biomimetic mine pressure sensor group, a gas spectral fingerprint recognition module, and a micro-vibration beamforming array;

[0061] The biomimetic mine pressure sensor group specifically includes:

[0062] The substrate has a grooved structure etched on its surface;

[0063] Five piezoelectric ceramic units are embedded at the intersection of the grooves;

[0064] A stress-transferring layer covers the surface of the piezoelectric ceramic unit;

[0065] The gas spectral fingerprint recognition module includes:

[0068] The gas path switching device uses a microfluidic chip to achieve time-sequential control and sampling of multiple gas channels;

[0069] The main body of the device employs a multimodal sensing array for collaborative monitoring. The biomimetic mine pressure sensor group utilizes a trench structure etched onto the substrate surface, embedding five piezoelectric ceramic units at the trench intersections to form a stress transmission network. A stress-conducting layer made of polyurethane elastomer is then coated onto the surface of the piezoelectric units, enabling three-dimensional sensing of mine pressure distribution. The gas detection module integrates a miniature Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and an 8-channel electrochemical sensor group. The spectrometer is equipped with a germanium-based waveguide to achieve a 2-14μm wideband scanning. Combined with a time-switching gas path constructed using a microfluidic chip, multiple gas samples are alternately introduced through a periodically rotating sampling disk.

[0070] An adaptive communication network, including an edge preprocessing unit and a dual-mode communication module;

[0071] The adaptive communication network further includes:

[0072] The environmental sensing unit monitors parameters such as temperature, humidity, and electromagnetic interference intensity in real time.

[0073] The routing decision module automatically switches to industrial Ethernet communication mode when the electromagnetic interference intensity exceeds a threshold.

[0074] The data compression unit employs a time-frequency domain hybrid compression algorithm based on wavelet transform;

[0075] Dynamic risk assessment server, configured with spatiotemporal feature fusion neural network and threshold evolution engine;

[0076] The dynamic risk assessment server deploys a spatiotemporal feature fusion neural network. A 3D convolutional sub-network uses a 5×5×5 kernel to extract tunnel structural features, while a temporal attention sub-network calculates the correlation weights at each time step. The spatiotemporal feature fusion ratio is dynamically adjusted through a channel attention mechanism. A threshold evolution engine continuously collects environmental baseline data to construct a Gaussian mixture model. When the Wasserstein distance between the real-time monitoring data and the baseline distribution exceeds a historical extreme, a Monte Carlo tree search algorithm is triggered to find the optimal threshold combination in the 3D parameter space.

[0077] The spatiotemporal feature fusion neural network includes:

[0078] A three-dimensional convolutional subnetwork with 5×5×5 3D convolutional kernels;

[0079] Temporal attention subnetwork, calculates feature association weights at each time step;

[0080] The feature fusion layer uses a channel attention mechanism to dynamically allocate the fusion ratio of spatial and temporal features;

[0081] The threshold evolution engine performs the following steps:

[0082] S1. Collect environmental baseline data from the most recent N hours to establish a reference distribution;

[0083] S2. Calculate the Wasserstein distance between the current monitoring data and the reference distribution;

[0087] The biomimetic mine pressure sensor group uses piezoelectric ceramic units arranged in an array, and the micro-vibration beamforming array consists of a three-dimensional monitoring network composed of multiple MEMS accelerometers.

[0088] The three-dimensional monitoring network consists of a micro-seismic beamforming array constructed from 24 MEMS accelerometers. Each node is deployed on the working surface in an icosahedral configuration, and vibration source localization is achieved through a phase synchronization algorithm. When the acquired data is transmitted through the adaptive communication network, the edge preprocessing unit uses a wavelet transform algorithm for time-frequency hybrid compression, and the environmental sensing unit monitors the electromagnetic field strength in real time. When the interference intensity exceeds 50 dBμV / m, the routing decision module automatically switches the wireless mesh network to industrial Ethernet transmission mode.

[0089] The hierarchical response execution mechanism includes:

[0090] Activate the data review process when a blue alert is issued;

[0091] When a yellow alert is issued, enhanced ventilation will be activated in certain areas.

[0092] When an orange alert is issued, implement personnel evacuation route planning;

[0093] A red alert triggers a full mine power outage and emergency drainage.

[0094] The tiered response mechanism establishes a multi-level linkage system: when a blue alert is triggered, a data cross-validation process is initiated; a yellow alert activates the frequency conversion control of local ventilation fans; an orange alert uses a digital twin model to plan the optimal evacuation route; and a red alert links the central control system to execute a mine-wide power outage and activate high-power drainage pump units. The entire system achieves multi-dimensional early warning and tiered response to mine disasters through multi-source information fusion and intelligent decision-making algorithms.

[0100] Microseismic sensing module 203;

[0101] Edge processing module 204, on which a pruned and optimized three-dimensional convolutional neural network model is mounted;

[0102] The hybrid communication interface 205 includes an exposed Ethernet port 2051 and a built-in LoRa antenna array 2052.

The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
