It should be noted that the implementation methods involved in this specification are not exhaustive and do not represent the only implementation methods of the present invention. The following corresponding embodiments are only for the purpose of clearly illustrating the invention content of the patent of the present invention, and are not intended to limit its implementation methods. For ordinary technicians in this field, different forms of changes and modifications can be made on the basis of the description of these embodiments. All obvious changes or modifications that belong to the technical concept and invention content of the present invention are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The rapid detector for a borehole strain observation instrument of the present invention can rapidly detect and locate faults on a borehole strain probe, an auxiliary observation probe, a ground data terminal and an AD converter of the borehole strain observation instrument.

[0026] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, the rapid detector for the borehole strain observation instrument of the present invention includes: a borehole strain probe interface J1, an auxiliary observation probe interface J2, a data terminal interface J3, an AD conversion interface J4, a USB interface, an MCU program control unit U4 (control unit), an RS485 bus, a digital meter (intelligent instrument) U6, a power module U7, a voltage reference source U8, a key group S1-S6 and an AD channel selection switch S7. Here, the borehole strain probe interface J1 is used to connect with the borehole strain probe of the borehole strain observation instrument, the auxiliary observation probe interface J2 is used to connect with the auxiliary probe, the data terminal interface J3 and the AD conversion interface J4 are used to connect with the ground data collector, specifically, the interface J3 is connected to the interface for sending commands of the ground data collector, and the interface J4 is connected to the voltage acquisition port of the ground data collector. The USB interface is used to connect with a personal computer or a laptop.

[0027] The connection relationship between the various components of the rapid detector is introduced below. The drilling strain probe interface J1 is connected to the data terminal interface J3, the MCU program control unit U4, and the USB interface via the RS485 bus. Specifically, the USB interface includes a USB-related interface circuit for converting the RS485 bus signal into a USB data signal. In one embodiment, the related circuit includes an interface chip U2 and a USB bus adapter chip U1. The interface chip U2 is used to convert the R485 bus communication signal into a TTL serial port signal. The USB bus adapter chip U1 is used to convert the TTL serial port signal into a USB data signal. For example, U2 can use a MAX485 chip, and U1 can use a CH341T type dedicated integrated circuit chip. The USB interface is connected to the RS485 bus through U1 and U2, and the RS485 communication signal of the circuit system can be converted into a USB data mode, so that the serial port debugging program can be used on the personal computer side or the laptop side to monitor the data transmission process between the data terminal (J3 end) of the drilling strain gauge and the drilling strain probe (J1 end), and can be used to manually send and receive bus data.

[0028] The button group S1-S6 is connected to the MCU program control unit as a human-machine control operation interface for manually operating data transmission and reception. Here, the MCU program control unit U4 adopts the 89C2051-SIMPLE chip. In addition, the MCU program control unit is connected to the RS485 bus through the interface chip U5. The interface chip U5 can be, for example, a MAX485E chip, which converts the R485 bus communication signal into a TTL serial port signal for identification by the single-chip microcomputer.

[0029] The auxiliary observation probe interface J2 is connected to the digital meter U6, and the digital meter U6 is used to display the analog voltage output by the auxiliary observation probe under the control of the selection switch S8.

[0030] The voltage reference source U8 is connected to the AD conversion interface J4 through the AD selection switch S7 to send a voltage reference value to the AD converter. A potentiometer R8 is also provided between the voltage reference source U8 and the AD conversion interface J4, and the reference voltage value can be adjusted by adjusting the potentiometer R8. By turning the channel selection switch S7, the reference voltage value can be sent to the selected AD conversion channel, thereby detecting the accuracy of the AD conversion value.

[0031] In the present invention, the power module U7 is connected to the data terminal interface J3 to power the system. Here, the power module U7 is powered by the drilling strain host or data collector through the data terminal interface J3, and generates a ±9V voltage after stabilizing the power supply, thereby powering the system.

[0032] The working process of the rapid detector for drilling strain observation instrument (also called drilling strain gauge rapid detector) of the present invention is described in detail below.

[0033] First, connect the borehole strain probe interface J1 of the borehole strain gauge rapid detector to the borehole strain observation instrument; then connect the auxiliary observation probe interface J2 to the auxiliary measurement probe; connect the AD conversion interface J4 to the voltage acquisition port (AD port) of the data collector according to the channel number; connect the USB interface to a personal computer PC or laptop; finally, connect the data terminal interface J3 to the interface for sending commands of the data collector.

[0034] After all interfaces are connected, the power module U7 of the drilling strain gauge rapid detector draws power from the data terminal interface J3. After the connection is completed, the system automatically powers on, and the drilling strain gauge and auxiliary observation probe are also powered on and enter the working state. Since the system uses the bus method to send and receive data, at this time, open the serial port debugging program of the PC or laptop to monitor the instructions sent by the data terminal (J3 interface end) to the drilling strain probe (J1 interface end) and the data replied by the drilling strain probe, so that the working status of the entire system can be easily detected.

[0035] If the data terminal sends instructions abnormally, it can be judged that the data terminal is faulty; if the instructions are normal, but the drilling strain probe responds abnormally or has no response, it can be judged that the drilling strain probe is faulty; if the data terminal sends instructions abnormally, and thus the drilling strain probe has no response, the 2nd and 3rd pins of the data terminal interface J3 can be disconnected, and the serial port debugging program of the PC (or laptop) can be used to manually send instructions or the keyboard can be used to control the MCU program control unit U4 to send instructions, so as to detect whether the drilling strain response is normal.

[0036] The digital meter U6 now displays the analog voltage sent by the auxiliary observation probe of the selected channel, and there is a corresponding relationship between the analog voltage value and the water level, air pressure or well temperature value. The corresponding water level, air pressure or well temperature value can be selected through the S8 selection switch. According to the analog voltage value displayed by the digital meter U6, and then according to the water level, air pressure, and well temperature value on site (which can be obtained by manual reading, such as the well temperature value is read by a thermometer), the two are compared to determine whether the auxiliary observation probe is working normally. For example, if the corresponding well temperature value obtained by the analog voltage value displayed by the digital meter U6 is obviously inconsistent with the well temperature value read by the on-site thermometer, it can be quickly and directly determined that the auxiliary observation probe has a fault.

[0037] The voltage reference source U8 can use the ADR421 chip, which can output a standard voltage of 2.5V. It can be modulated by the potentiometer R8, generally modulated to 1.5V voltage output (it can also be modulated and set as needed). Turn the S7 channel selection switch and check the AD conversion value of each channel of the data acquisition device at this time. If it does not match the voltage reference output value, it can be determined that the AD conversion is faulty.

[0038] In the present invention, since a bus and an MCU program-controlled device are used, and a USB interface is used to connect the bus to a personal computer PC (or a laptop), the bus working status of the drilling strain probe and the data terminal can be quickly monitored, detected, and faults can be located; by using an intelligent instrument (such as a digital meter U6), the auxiliary observation probe can be quickly tested for analog voltage, thereby directly determining whether the auxiliary observation probe is working normally; by using a voltage reference source, the AD conversion accuracy of each channel of the data collector can be tested.

[0039] Obviously, those skilled in the art should realize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, any changes and modifications to the above embodiments will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
