Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wind speed and volume monitoring in underground tunnels, and in particular provides a device and method for accurately measuring the cross-sectional wind volume in an underground tunnel. Background Art
[0002] Mine ventilation is the premise for ensuring safe production in mines, and the measurement of wind speed and air volume in underground tunnels is a key technical link to ensure mine ventilation safety. However, due to the complex and irregular cross-sectional shape of the tunnel, traditional air volume measurement methods generally rely on single-point wind speed measurement and assume an ideal cross-sectional shape for estimation. This method has low accuracy and is prone to large errors. It cannot meet the needs of accurate air volume monitoring in complex tunnels, increasing the risk of underground operations.
[0003] In recent years, the application of multi-point wind speed technology in underground monitoring has shown great potential. Laser scanning technology can generate high-precision point cloud data of tunnel sections, which is used to accurately depict complex cross-sectional shapes, and multi-point wind measurement technology can capture wind speed distribution in different areas. The organic combination of these technologies can achieve more comprehensive wind speed and air volume monitoring, which can significantly improve the accuracy of wind volume measurement. However, there is currently a lack of a mature system and method to more effectively integrate cross-sectional shape and wind speed distribution data to achieve fast and effective wind speed and air volume precision measurement. In the existing technology, wind speed sensors are mostly installed on the wall of the tunnel, there are errors in measurement, and multi-point wind measurement and tunnel section roughness identification cannot be achieved. In addition, in the design of the ventilation system of the mine tunnel, the airflow in the tunnel will be affected by factors such as wall roughness, tunnel morphology, and flow velocity, which will affect the measurement and calculation of air volume, especially when facing irregular sections or complex tunnel environments. This problem becomes particularly complicated.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention proposes an underground tunnel cross-section air volume precision measurement device and method, provides a high-precision air volume measurement solution, effectively improves the data reliability and real-time performance of underground ventilation management, and provides technical support for safe operation of mines. Combined with the ventilation optimization system, air is supplied on demand to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction in mines. Summary of the invention

[0017] A method for accurately measuring the cross-sectional air volume of an underground tunnel, using the above-mentioned accurate cross-sectional air volume measurement device for an underground tunnel, specifically comprises the following steps:
[0018] Step 1: Install the device. Hang the slide rail assembly on the top plate of the tunnel, install the moving assembly on the slide rail assembly, mesh the moving gear with the arc rack, insert the slide bar into the guide slot, and then install a set of measuring components under the moving assembly.
[0019] Step 2, during the measurement process, the moving motor is operated to drive the moving component and the measuring component to move from one end of the slide rail component to the other end, and at the same time, the electric push rod is operated to drive the measuring component to move in the vertical direction, so that the measuring component measures the wind speed data on the same horizontal plane;
[0020] During the movement of the mobile component, the mobile component stops when it is at the leftmost position, the middle position, and the rightmost position. At this time, the laser scanning module performs a 360° rotation scan on the tunnel, and the cross-sectional data obtained at the leftmost position, the middle position, and the rightmost position are recorded as A1, A2, and A3, respectively. At the same time, the wind speed detection module detects the wind speed in the tunnel in real time, and the wind speed data obtained at the leftmost position, the middle position, and the rightmost position are v1, v2, and v3, respectively, and all the data are transmitted to the host for calculation and analysis;
[0021] Step 3: Calculate the average wind speed on the cross section based on the wind speed data at each point. Use the weighted average method to average the wind speed data measured by the wind speed detection module according to the weighted position. The formula for the weighted average wind speed is:
[0022] ;
[0023] in, is the weighted mean wind speed, v i is the wind speed measured by the wind speed detection module;
[0024] Step 4: Obtain the point cloud coordinates. Assume that the laser scanning module generates n points of the tunnel cross-section contour by scanning, represented as (x1, y1), (x2, y2), ..., (x n ,y n ), these points are connected in sequence to form a closed polygon;
[0025] Step 5, the first calculation method of the closed polygon uses the polygon area formula. For irregular closed polygons, the calculation formula for the cross-sectional area S1 in Algorithm 1 is:
[0026] ;
[0027] Among them, (x i ,y i ) and (x i+1 ,y i+1 ) represents the coordinates of two adjacent points, and N is the number of sides of the closed polygon;
[0028] Step 6, the second calculation method of the closed polygon uses the integral method to triangulate the closed polygon to obtain multiple small triangles. The area of each small triangle is calculated and summed to obtain the total area of the cross section. The calculation formula of the cross-sectional area S2 of Algorithm 2 is:
[0029] ;
[0030] Among them, S k is the area of the kth small triangle, and m is the number of small triangles obtained by dissection;
[0031] Step 7, coupling the two tunnel cross-sectional area algorithms of step 5 and step 6 to obtain the accurate cross-sectional area S3 of the tunnel section;
[0032] Step 8: Calculate the preliminary cross-sectional wind volume based on the weighted average wind speed and precise cross-sectional area S3, the calculation formula for the preliminary cross-sectional air volume Q1 is:
[0033] ;
[0034] Step 9: Friction loss of tunnel air volume, including the effect of average roughness on airflow, local flow loss and further effect of irregular cross-section on airflow;
[0035] The friction loss formula is as follows:
[0036] ;
[0037] Where ΔP is the pressure loss, f is the overall friction coefficient, L is the tunnel length, D is the tunnel diameter, ρ is the gas density, and v c is the gas flow velocity;
[0038] Correct and adjust the above formula;
[0039] For roadways, the wall roughness It directly affects the overall friction coefficient f, which is expressed by the following implicit equation:
[0040] ;
[0041] ;
[0042] in, is the wall roughness, Re is the Reynolds number of the airflow, which represents the ratio of the inertia to the viscosity of the airflow, and u is the dynamic viscosity of the gas;
[0043] The local flow resistance coefficient K is introduced for correction, and the calculation formula of the local flow resistance is obtained as follows:
[0044] ;
[0045] Where ΔP local is the local flow resistance, K is the local flow resistance coefficient;
[0046] CFD simulation technology was introduced. CFD is computational fluid dynamics. A three-dimensional grid was established to accurately calculate the flow path, velocity field, pressure field of the airflow in the tunnel and the interaction with the tunnel wall, and the following formula was obtained:
[0047] ;
[0048] Where ΔP total is the overall flow resistance of the tunnel, f is the overall friction coefficient, and f local is the local friction coefficient, K i is the flow resistance coefficient at a local location in the tunnel, L j is the length of the roadway at the irregular section location, D j is the tunnel diameter at the irregular section location, v j is the gas flow velocity at the irregular section position, i is the local position in the tunnel, j is the local position of the irregular section, the first term considers the effect of average roughness on the gas flow, the second term is the local flow loss, and the third term considers the further effect of the irregular section on the gas flow;
[0049] Step 10, calculate the cross-sectional air volume. Combining steps 8 and 9, the precise cross-sectional air volume Q is calculated as:
[0050] .
[0051] The beneficial effects of using the present invention are:
[0052] The present invention designs a slide rail assembly and a moving assembly, which can effectively move the measuring assembly to different positions in the tunnel to complete tunnel section scanning and wind speed measurement at different positions. At the same time, with the assistance of the electric push rod, the measuring assembly can maintain a horizontal state during the movement, thereby improving the accuracy of the wind speed measurement.
[0053] The present invention designs the structure of the moving component so that it can always maintain a vertical state when moving along the arc-shaped rack, further ensuring the horizontal movement of the measuring component during the moving process and further improving the accuracy of the measurement.
[0054] The present invention also designs connecting rods and connecting parts, so that the measuring component can be easily installed on the mobile component, and supports the series connection of multiple measuring components, so that multi-point measurement can be performed at different positions of the same section, and multiple groups of data at different positions can be obtained at the same time, avoiding data changes caused by using one measuring component for multiple measurements, and improving the accuracy of the measurement.
[0055] When calculating the cross-sectional area of the tunnel section, the present invention adopts a calculation method combining the polygon area formula with the integral method, which can obtain a more accurate result.
[0056] In the process of measuring and calculating the air volume, the present invention takes into account the influencing factors of the roughness of the tunnel wall, and can more accurately calculate the air volume and pressure loss of the tunnel, and finally obtain a more accurate air volume result.

[0091] Embodiment 2
[0092] A method for accurately measuring the cross-sectional air volume of an underground tunnel, using an accurate cross-sectional air volume measurement device for an underground tunnel as in the first embodiment, specifically comprises the following steps:
[0093] Step 1: Install the device. Hang the slide rail assembly 1 on the top plate of the tunnel, install the moving assembly 2 on the slide rail assembly 1, make the moving gear 23 mesh with the arc-shaped rack 12, insert the slide rod 243 into the guide slot 13, and then install a set of measuring assemblies 3 under the moving assembly 2;
[0094] Step 2, measurement process, running the moving motor 22, driving the moving component 2 and the measuring component 3 to move from one end of the slide rail component 1 to the other end, and running the electric push rod 27 to drive the measuring component 3 to move in the vertical direction, so that the measuring component 3 measures the wind speed data of the same horizontal plane;
[0095] During the movement of the mobile component 2, the mobile component 2 stops when it is at the leftmost position, the middle position and the rightmost position. At this time, the laser scanning module 31 performs a 360° rotation scan on the tunnel, and the cross-sectional data obtained at the leftmost position, the middle position and the rightmost position are recorded as A1, A2 and A3 respectively. At the same time, the wind speed detection module 32 detects the wind speed in the tunnel in real time, and the wind speed data obtained at the leftmost position, the middle position and the rightmost position are v1, v2 and v3 respectively, and all the data are transmitted to the host for calculation and analysis;
[0096] Step 3: Calculate the average wind speed on the cross section based on the wind speed data at each point. Use the weighted average method to average the wind speed data measured by the wind speed detection module 32 according to the weighted position. The formula for the weighted average wind speed is:
[0097] ;
[0098] in, is the weighted mean wind speed, v i is the wind speed measured by the wind speed detection module 32;
[0099] Step 4: Obtain point cloud coordinates. Assume that the laser scanning module 31 scans and generates n points of the tunnel cross-section contour, represented by (x1, y1), (x2, y2), ..., (x n ,y n ), these points are connected in sequence to form a closed polygon;
[0100] Step 5, the first calculation method of the closed polygon uses the polygon area formula. For irregular closed polygons, the calculation formula for the cross-sectional area S1 in Algorithm 1 is:
[0101] ;
[0102] Among them, (x i ,y i ) and (x i+1 ,y i+1 ) represents the coordinates of two adjacent points, and N is the number of sides of the closed polygon;
[0103] Step 6, the second calculation method of the closed polygon uses the integral method to triangulate the closed polygon to obtain multiple small triangles. The area of each small triangle is calculated and summed to obtain the total area of the cross section. The calculation formula of the cross-sectional area S2 of Algorithm 2 is:
[0104] ;
[0105] Among them, S k is the area of the kth small triangle, and m is the number of small triangles obtained by dissection;
[0106] For more complex shapes, use point clouds to build a network or triangulation, and then calculate the sum of the areas of each small triangle. If the angle between two adjacent faces is between 0 and 150 degrees, it can be judged as a more complex shape.
[0107] Step 7, coupling the two tunnel cross-sectional area algorithms of step 5 and step 6 to obtain the accurate cross-sectional area S3 of the tunnel section;
[0108] The cross-sectional areas obtained by the two algorithms are weighted and averaged to make the cross-sectional area more accurate;
[0109] Step 8: Calculate the preliminary cross-sectional air volume. According to the weighted average wind speed and the precise cross-sectional area S3, the calculation formula for the preliminary cross-sectional air volume Q1 is:
[0110] ;
[0111] Step 9: Friction loss of tunnel air volume, including the effect of average roughness on airflow, local flow loss and further effect of irregular cross-section on airflow;
[0112] The friction loss formula is as follows:
[0113] ;
[0114] Where ΔP is the pressure loss, f is the overall friction coefficient, L is the tunnel length, D is the tunnel diameter, ρ is the gas density, and v c is the gas flow velocity;
[0115] In the calculation process, the traditional friction loss calculation formula can provide basic roughness effects, but for irregular shapes and complex cross-section tunnels, relying solely on this formula often cannot accurately reflect the actual flow characteristics;
[0116] The above formula can calculate the pressure loss caused by friction of airflow in the tunnel, but it assumes that the tunnel has a regular circular cross-section and the wall roughness is uniform, which is often not true in actual mines, and the above formula needs to be further corrected and adjusted;
[0117] For roadways, the wall roughness It directly affects the overall friction coefficient f, which is expressed by the following implicit equation:
[0118] ;
[0119] ;
[0120] in, is the wall roughness, Re is the Reynolds number of the airflow, which represents the ratio of the inertia to the viscosity of the airflow, and u is the dynamic viscosity of the gas. This formula can accurately reflect the relationship between the wall roughness and the fluid flow state. However, due to its implicit nature, solving this equation usually requires numerical iteration. Especially in complex tunnel shapes, iterative calculations will be more complicated and time-consuming.
[0121] The tunnel is not a smooth surface. Because it is a rock tunnel, there will be uneven locations on the cross section. Therefore, the inner surface of the tunnel is a complex shape. When performing accurate wind measurement, the accurate tunnel shape needs to be considered.
[0122] In order to further improve the accuracy of calculation, for irregular cross-section tunnels, we need to calculate not only the overall friction loss, but also the local flow loss. The local flow loss is usually caused by factors such as the curvature, angle change, and mutation section of the tunnel. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the local flow resistance coefficient K to correct these factors. The calculation formula of the local flow resistance is:
[0123] ;
[0124] Where ΔP local is the local flow resistance, K is the local flow resistance coefficient, which usually depends on the shape of the roadway and the flow characteristics of the airflow;
[0125] By considering these local losses, we can obtain more accurate results for airflow distribution and pressure loss calculations. For complex mine tunnels, the local flow resistance coefficient K usually needs to be determined through experimental data or simulation results based on the specific structural characteristics of the tunnel;
[0126] In addition, the airflow in the mine tunnel is often in a turbulent state. In the turbulent state, the airflow is more complex and unstable. At this time, the friction coefficient and flow resistance in the tunnel are no longer a simple linear relationship;
[0127] In order to deal with the above complex situation, CFD simulation technology was introduced. CFD is computational fluid dynamics. By establishing a three-dimensional grid, the flow path, velocity field, pressure field and interaction between the airflow and the wall of the roadway are accurately calculated. The CFD model can capture the slight changes in the airflow in the roadway in detail, and consider multiple factors such as the complex shape of the roadway, wall roughness and flow state, so as to provide more accurate calculation results for the air volume and pressure loss of the roadway, and obtain the following formula:
[0128] ;
[0129] Where ΔP total is the overall flow resistance of the tunnel, f is the overall friction coefficient, and f localis the local friction coefficient, K i is the flow resistance coefficient at a local location in the tunnel, L j is the length of the roadway at the irregular section location, D j is the tunnel diameter at the irregular section location, v j is the gas flow velocity at the irregular section position, i is the local position in the tunnel, j is the local position of the irregular section, the first term considers the effect of average roughness on the airflow, the second term is the local flow loss, and the third term considers the further effect of the irregular section on the airflow, which can provide an accurate and scientific calculation framework for the airflow calculation of irregular tunnels;
[0130] Step 10, calculate the cross-sectional air volume. Combining steps 8 and 9, the precise cross-sectional air volume Q is calculated as:
[0131] .
[0132] Embodiment 3
[0133] The difference from the second embodiment is that:
