Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mine water inrush monitoring technology, specifically to a device and method for monitoring and early warning of precursor information of coal mine water inrush. Background Technology

[0002] Water inrushes in engineering projects (such as mine inrushes, tunnel inrushes, and dam failures) can cause enormous loss of life and property. Mine water inrushes, as one of the five major hazards in mining, have always threatened safe mining production and are a major source of injury and death among miners. Because the effects and constraints of water inrushes are extremely complex, many factors are not only difficult to determine but also difficult to detect in advance. Therefore, accurate and timely detection is a crucial means of water inrush prevention and control, and obtaining early warning information about water inrushes based on detection is the key and core of water inrush prevention and control.

[0003] To mitigate or reduce losses caused by sudden water inrushes, domestic and international experts and scholars have conducted extensive scientific and technological research, developing control measures such as advanced detection, drainage and pressure reduction, and grouting curtains. They have also proposed advanced detection technologies such as geophysical exploration and drilling, which have reduced the probability of sudden water inrushes and the frequency of such events in coal mine production to some extent. However, existing monitoring methods all have limitations. For example, geophysical exploration results are transient and cannot continuously detect the danger of sudden water inrushes over long periods. Drilling methods rely on extensive engineering monitoring methods, increasing the workload and financial investment, and still suffer from inaccurate detection. In reality, there are many precursory indicators that can be utilized when a sudden water inrush occurs, such as increased humidity in the coal face, decreased temperature, increased roof pressure, or floor heave. Based on this, this patent integrates multi-parameter monitoring technologies and principles, including optical monitoring, temperature monitoring, and image recognition, to comprehensively analyze the precursory information of sudden water inrushes, providing accurate monitoring methods and information for water control in mines, tunnels, reservoir dams, and other water conservancy projects and underground engineering projects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a monitoring and early warning device and method for coal mine water inrush precursor information, which provides reliable precursor information for water inrush disasters and ensures safe production in mining, tunnel and other engineering activities.

[0005] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a coal mine water inrush precursor information monitoring and early warning device, comprising: a monitoring probe system, a sealing system, a data processing and display system, and an external gas supply and control system;

[0006] The monitoring probe system includes a heating device, an integrated monitoring device fitted at the front end of the heating device, and a borehole camera at the front end of the heating device;

[0007] The sealing system includes a sealing device and a check valve. The sealing device is equipped with a pressure sensor on its surface. The sealing device has three pre-set through holes: a main hole, an exhaust hole, and an air inlet hole. The exhaust hole is connected to the check valve through a pipeline.

[0008] The external gas supply and control system includes a gas cylinder, which is connected to the gas inlet via a pipeline. The pipeline is equipped with a main gas valve, a pressure and flow meter, and a gas distribution valve at the end closest to the gas cylinder.

The data integration and processing computer is connected to the monitoring probe system via a bus, which passes through the bus hole of the sealing system. The handheld display is connected to the data integration and processing computer via a signal connection.

[0010] Preferably, the monitoring integration device includes an infrared camera, a water molecule concentration monitor, a temperature monitor, a gas pressure monitor, an H2S concentration monitor, and a gas concentration monitor, all connected to a bus.

The heating device is cylindrical, consisting of a heating wire, a heat insulation layer, and a wiring channel from the outside to the inside, with the bus placed inside the wiring channel.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing device is made of a water-swellable material.

[0012] This invention also proposes a method for monitoring and early warning of precursor information of coal mine water inrush, comprising the following steps:

[0013] S1: Drill holes of different depths on the surface of the object being monitored;

[0016] S4: Inspect the sealing effect;

[0017] S5: Open the main gas valve, the distribution gas valve, and the check valve. Use the heating device to heat the borehole, causing the liquid water inside to turn into gaseous water and be discharged through the check valve until the water molecule concentration monitor displays 0, ensuring that all water molecules in the borehole have been discharged. Record the water molecule concentration at this point as the initial water molecule concentration N. 初 ;

[0018] S6: Close the gas distribution valve and check valve. At this time, the values ​​displayed by the pressure monitor and temperature monitor are recorded as the initial gas pressure P. 初1 Initial temperature T 初1 And record the air pressure from the initial air pressure P 初1 Reduced to stable air pressure P 初2 Required time ΔH 初1 The temperature is determined by the initial temperature T. 初1 Reduced to a stable temperature T 初2 Required time ΔH 初2 ;

[0019] S7: When the borehole temperature drops to a stable level, use a heating device to heat the borehole back to its initial temperature, and record this temperature as T. 测1 T 测1 =T 初1 Simultaneously, maintain the air pressure at the initial air pressure and record this air pressure as P. 测1 P 测1 =P 初1 Record the time ΔH required for the air pressure to drop to a stable air pressure and the temperature to drop to a stable temperature, respectively. 测1 ΔH 测2 ;

[0020] S8: Repeat step S7 and record the data from the monitoring integrated device simultaneously; determine whether there are any signs of a sudden water inrush in the borehole based on the data from the monitoring integrated device.

[0021] Preferably, the criteria for determining whether there are precursors to a sudden water inrush are as follows:

[0022] The presence of any one or more of the following conditions indicates an impending water inrush:

[0023] Pressure drop coefficient Pressure drop coefficient in the initial stage By comparison, the coefficient of change of sudden water pressure was obtained. When K P <K P *time, K P * represents the preset critical surge water pressure change coefficient, proving the presence of cracks; temperature drop coefficient. Temperature drop coefficient in the initial stage By comparison, the coefficient of temperature change of the inrush water was obtained. When the coefficient K T <K T *, K T * represents the preset critical temperature change coefficient for sudden water inrush, proving that a sudden drop in temperature has occurred; the presence of cracks and a sudden drop in temperature indicate a precursor to a sudden water inrush.

[0024] When the water molecule concentration N is measured in real time 测Greater than the initial water molecule concentration N 初 If there is a crack connecting the borehole to the water body, it is considered a precursor to a sudden water inrush.

[0025] When H2S gas is detected, it indicates the presence of old water near the monitoring location, which is considered a precursor to a sudden water inrush.

[0026] When an increase in pressure or an abnormal infrared signal is detected, it is determined that a sudden water inrush is imminent.
