Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coal mine roof monitoring, and in particular to a coal mine roof multi-point displacement monitoring system based on a universal joint. Background Art
[0002] Safety monitoring of coal mine tunnel roofs and surrounding rocks is an important project for mine disaster prediction. Mine roof falls and surrounding rock collapses are one of the major disasters in all types of mines, which seriously threaten the production safety of mines. In recent years, due to the increase in mining depth and the expansion of mining scope, mine production has developed in depth, and the threats of roof falls and collapses have become increasingly serious. Carrying out roof monitoring and supervision can timely discover hidden dangers and take measures. It is an important means of roof management and prevention of roof accidents.
[0003] Currently, mechanical dual-height indicators, four-point roof separation indicators, and acoustic probe multi-point displacement meters are used to monitor deep displacement in roadways. However, while the mechanical dual-height and four-point roof separation indicators can provide direct readings, they have low precision and limited measurement points, making them routine observation tools and unable to determine the extent of deep displacement in the roadway surrounding rock or the length of the anchor cables. While the acoustic probe multi-point displacement meter accurately reflects the location of surrounding rock separation, failure depth, and deformation, horizontal displacement in the roadway can cause the magnetic anchor head in the borehole to become misaligned, making measurement impossible. Furthermore, the acoustic probe multi-point displacement meter requires manual reading and cannot continuously record the roadway deformation process.
[0004] Therefore, how to achieve accurate monitoring of coal mine roofs is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application proposes the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a possible implementation, an anchor claw is provided at the top end of each measuring rod section, and each measuring rod section is fixed in a drilled hole in the top plate through the anchor claw.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the horizontal displacement sensor uses an accelerometer chip, the SCL port of the accelerometer chip is connected to the single-chip microcomputer through a first pull-up resistor, the SDA port of the accelerometer chip is connected to the single-chip microcomputer through a second pull-up resistor, the YLOGIC port of the accelerometer chip is electrically connected to a 3.3V power supply, the CPOUT port of the accelerometer chip is electrically connected to the first end of the first capacitor, the VDD port of the accelerometer chip is electrically connected to the first end of the second capacitor and the 3.3V power supply, respectively, the REGOUT port of the accelerometer chip is electrically connected to the first end of the third capacitor, and the CLKIN port, AD0 port, PAD port, GND port, FSYNC port, the second end of the first capacitor, the second end of the second capacitor, and the second end of the third capacitor of the accelerometer chip are grounded.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0015] The rod connection of this new model utilizes a universal joint structure, unlike traditional pulley-type inclinometers. This prevents the rod from breaking and rotating freely when deflected within the borehole, and ensures that the deflection in each direction is no less than 45 degrees. Furthermore, the use of an expanding shell-type anchor claw structure securely secures each rod section, preventing slippage caused by borehole deformation.
[0016] The monitoring system of the utility model reduces the number of holes to be drilled for measuring holes and also improves the accuracy of displacement in both axial and radial directions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0024] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the multi-point displacement monitoring system of the coal mine roof based on the universal joint provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 In this embodiment, a multi-point displacement monitoring system for a coal mine roof based on a universal joint includes: a multi-section measuring rod 1, and a data collector 2 arranged at the end of the multi-section measuring rod 1. A universal joint 8 is arranged between each section of the multi-section measuring rod 1. The universal joint 8 is used to realize the tilting of the multi-section measuring rod 1 in any direction. A measuring module 7 and a transmitter are provided in each section of the measuring rod 1. The first end of the transmitter is electrically connected to the measuring module 7, and the second end of the transmitter is electrically connected to the data collector 2 through a cable 9.
[0025] In this embodiment, each section of the measuring rod 1 is equipped with an anchor claw 6 suitable for installation in drill holes with a diameter of 55-65 mm. The anchor claw secures the measuring rod in the drilled hole in the roof, enabling multi-point horizontal and vertical displacement measurement. In this embodiment, the measuring rod 1 is a hollow structure with a certain degree of rigidity, made of flame-retardant fiberglass tube. The measuring rod 1 is designed to be 600-1000 mm long per section, with the length adjusted to suit the varying rock formations. The measuring rod is installed in the specified orientation within the roadway. The coordinate system's X-axis is parallel to the roadway's direction, and the Y-axis is perpendicular to it. The measurement results reflect the direction of horizontal displacement.
[0026] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the universal joint 8 includes a universal joint fork, which cooperates with the cross shaft. A needle roller bearing is provided between the cross shaft and the universal joint fork, and the needle roller bearing is used to ensure smoothness during power transmission.
[0027] See also Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the measurement module provided in this embodiment shows the measurement module 7 comprising a slide rod 10, the first end of which is connected to the end of the fluke 6. A vertical displacement sensor 11 and a horizontal displacement sensor 12 are provided at the second end of the slide rod 10. These sensors are used to monitor the vertical and horizontal displacements of the roof, respectively. In this embodiment, the vertical displacement sensor 11 is a tensile displacement sensor, characterized by its compact size, suitability for installation within a borehole, excellent sealing, waterproofness, and high measurement accuracy, meeting the 1mm measurement accuracy requirement. When the rock formation undergoes vertical displacement, the tensile displacement sensor extends and outputs a vertical displacement data signal.
[0028] The horizontal displacement sensor 12 uses an accelerometer sensor. Its compact size makes it suitable for installation in small spaces. It also offers low cost, low power consumption, and high accuracy, reducing manufacturing costs and allowing for long standby periods while meeting measurement accuracy requirements. When the rock formation undergoes horizontal displacement, the measuring rod tilts, and the horizontal displacement sensor within the measurement module outputs a data signal. The accelerometer chip processes this data and converts it into horizontal displacement.

[0030] In this embodiment, each measuring rod 1 is equipped with a transmitter, which is responsible for collecting sensor data from the measuring module 7 and calculating and outputting the horizontal and vertical displacement. The transmitter samples the voltage value of the tensile sensor through a high-precision 12-bit AD chip.

The first signal terminal of the data acquisition substation 4 is wirelessly connected to the data collector 2, and the second signal terminal of the data acquisition substation 4 is electrically connected to the ground monitoring room 5. The collected inspection data is output through the communication port and transmitted to the ground monitoring room via a connection to the coal mine monitoring system. The handheld reader 3 is used to read the inspection data from the data collector 2 via a wireless signal.
[0032] In this embodiment, the data collector 2 is in a power-saving sleep mode during off-hours, connecting the transmitter inside the measuring rod to collect data only during inspections. The data collector 2 uses a reed switch or magnetic sensor as a wake-up element. When the handheld reader 3 begins collecting data, an external magnetic sensor wakes the data collector. The handheld reader 3 and the data collector 2 utilize wireless communication, with data transmission taking place in wireless mode.
