With the advancement of urbanization in my country, the construction and decoration industries have developed rapidly, providing a broad space for the development of the gypsum industry, and the market capacity has continued to expand. While the large-scale mining of gypsum mines has brought economic benefits, it has also left serious risks of ground collapse in the goaf. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to carry out monitoring work in the goaf of gypsum mines.

These methods have poor real-time performance and are all based on monitoring the existing phenomenon of surface collapse. They are difficult to meet the requirements of advance prediction, long-term and real-time online monitoring of goaf areas. Therefore, it is impossible to evaluate and predict the change law of goaf stability and its development trend based on the deformation and movement of the goaf collapse area, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and controlling disasters in goaf collapse areas.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection relationships mentioned in the text do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the fact that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation.
[0028] See also Figure 1 As shown, a gypsum mine collapse monitoring system includes a borehole 1, a monitoring sensor, a demodulation device 2, a monitoring platform 3, and a buzzer 10.
[0029] The plurality of boreholes 1 are independently arranged at various monitoring positions in the goaf, and the selection of the monitoring positions is based on the ability to reduce losses; the interval between adjacent boreholes 1 is between 500m and 1000m; the monitoring sensor is arranged in a borehole 1, and the monitoring sensor is mainly used to monitor the conditions at various depths underground in the goaf;
[0030] The demodulation device 2 is arranged in a safe area and corresponds to the borehole 1 one by one. The demodulation device 2 itself has a wireless transmission module and a GPS positioning module, which can transmit the demodulated signal to the monitoring platform 3. In order to make the demodulation device 2 more energy-saving and ensure sufficient power, the demodulation device 2 is connected to the solar power supply system 9; a plurality of the demodulation devices 2 are connected to the monitoring sensor through a jumper 11 and a junction box, that is, a monitoring sensor is installed in a borehole 1 and connected to a demodulation device 2; the demodulation device 2 has a built-in fast tunable laser light source module, which monitors the monitoring sensor by changing the output wavelength of the tunable light source. The central wavelength of the sensor is obtained, and then the physical value of each fiber grating sensor is obtained, and then it is uploaded to the monitoring software of the monitoring platform 3 through remote networking transmission; the monitoring software of the monitoring platform 3 can compare and analyze the data, view data trends, and measure wavelengths; the monitoring software can also make predictions and alarms based on the data trend analysis of each monitoring point, and according to the real-time online data of each monitoring point, it can determine the center point of the impending collapse and the scope of the collapse; the types of prediction alarms include vertical settlement alarms, groundwater level alarms, and ground collapse vibration alarms, and the types of prediction alarms are mainly determined by the type of monitoring sensor signals.
[0031] The monitoring sensor is a Bragg fiber grating (FBG) sensor, which is formed by changing the refractive index of the fiber core to produce a small periodic modulation; when the temperature or stress changes, the fiber produces axial strain, which makes the grating period larger, while the radius of the fiber core and cladding decreases, and the refractive index of the fiber is changed through the photoelastic effect, thereby causing the grating wavelength to shift; the linear relationship between strain and grating wavelength shift is used to calculate the strain of the measured structure; the wavelength demodulation accuracy of FBG reaches 1pm, corresponding to its strain test accuracy of about 1 microstrain, and the temperature demodulation accuracy is 0.1℃; the monitoring sensors include fiber grating displacement meter 4, fiber grating permeability Pressure gauge 5, geological disaster alarm 6, seismic detector 7; several fiber Bragg grating displacement meters 4 are connected in series along the axial direction of the borehole 1 to form a U-shaped loop structure. In order to avoid the entire U-shaped loop structure being unable to monitor data when one fiber Bragg grating displacement meter 4 is damaged, the U-shaped loop structure includes two parallel ones (not shown in the figure); when the two U-shaped loop structures are in normal working state, the two correct each other to ensure the accuracy of the data. After any of the U-shaped loop structures fails, they are used as a backup to ensure the normal data; the fiber Bragg grating displacement meter 4 plus the screw guide method is used to realize long-scale online real-time monitoring of the displacement change of the rock and soil body within a specified length range.
[0032] The fiber Bragg grating piezometer 5 is mainly used to monitor the groundwater level. In order to avoid excessive parameter changes of the fiber Bragg grating piezometer 5 due to temperature differences, the monitoring sensor also includes a fiber Bragg grating thermometer 8 for temperature compensation of the fiber Bragg grating piezometer 5; the fiber Bragg grating thermometer 8 is consistent with the depth of the borehole 1 where the fiber Bragg grating piezometer 5 is located.
[0033] The geological disaster alarm 6 is only affected by the stretching of the strata, and is not affected by external conditions such as temperature and water. The geological disaster alarm 6 transmits the signal to the demodulation device 2, and the demodulation device 2 transmits the signal to the buzzer 10, causing the buzzer 10 to emit a sharp alarm sound, thereby making an on-site alarm; at the same time, in order to distinguish the severity of geological disasters, the geological disaster alarm 6 can be divided into multiple alarm levels, and the buzzer 10 can emit on-site alarms of different sounds or different intensities; usually, there are three alarm levels, which can be customized according to specific geological conditions.
[0034] For the convenience of installation, a counterweight 12 is sunk at the bottom of the borehole 1. The counterweight 12 is usually an iron cylinder, and the outer diameter of the counterweight 12 is adapted to the inner diameter of the borehole 1, that is, the counterweight 12 can sink to the bottom of the borehole 1 without horizontal shaking. The counterweight 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom optical fiber cables of the fiber grating displacement meter 4, the fiber grating osmometer 5, the geological disaster alarm 6, and the seismic detector 7, thereby ensuring that the fiber grating displacement meter 4, the fiber grating osmometer 5, the geological disaster alarm 6, and the seismic detector 7 always remain in a vertical state during the backfilling process of the borehole 1.
[0035] The assembly process of the present invention is as follows: the first step: according to the various monitoring positions pre-determined around the goaf of the gypsum mine, a borehole 1 is drilled at each monitoring position, the depth of the borehole 1 is 1m above the bedrock, and the depth of the borehole 1 is usually 30m; a demodulation device 2 corresponding to the borehole 1 is arranged in a safe area (non-goaf area) near the borehole 1, and a buzzer 10 corresponding to the borehole 1 is arranged near the goaf where the borehole 1 is located (the position where a warning is required);
[0036] Step 2: Select a counterweight block 12 with suitable counterweight and material, and ensure that the counterweight block 12 is compatible with the inner diameter of the borehole 1; connect several fiber Bragg grating displacement meters 4 in series into a U-shaped loop structure, and fix the lowest position of the U-shaped loop structure on the top surface of the counterweight block 12. In order to ensure the monitoring accuracy, two U-shaped loop structures are provided; wrap the fiber Bragg grating osmometer 5 with gauze and fix it to the counterweight block 12, and determine that the sinking position of the fiber Bragg grating osmometer 5 is accurate; fix the seismic detector 7 and the geological disaster alarm 6 to the counterweight block 12, and connect them to the collector; fix the bottom of the fiber Bragg grating where the fiber Bragg grating thermometer 8 is located to the counterweight block 12, and the sinking depth of the fiber Bragg grating thermometer 8 is consistent with the sinking depth of the fiber Bragg grating osmometer 5;
[0037] Step 3: lower the counterweight block 12 equipped with the monitoring sensor to the end surface at the bottom of the borehole 1 and ensure that the counterweight block 12 itself is horizontally stable;
[0038] Step 4: Keep the optical fiber cables where the fiber Bragg grating displacement meter 4, the fiber Bragg grating piezometer 5, the geological disaster alarm 6, the seismic detector 7, and the fiber Bragg grating thermometer 8 are located vertically in a tight state, backfill the fine sand around the gypsum mine into the borehole 1, and ensure that the borehole 1 is backfilled tightly;
[0039] Step 5: Connect the optical grating extending from the top of the monitoring sensor through the borehole 1 to the demodulation device 2 through a jumper 11, and bury the optical grating extending from the borehole 1 on the surface;
[0040] Step 6: electrically connect the demodulation device 2 to the solar power supply system 9; connect the demodulation device 2 to the buzzer 10 via a jumper 11, and bury the jumper 11 on the ground;
[0041] Step 7: Start monitoring and use the effective initial monitoring value as the monitoring benchmark; in subsequent continuous monitoring, use the initial monitoring value as a reference for analysis; the monitoring platform 3 displays the analyzed monitoring attempts, data, etc., and issues a predictive alarm in a timely manner.
