Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of tailings monitoring, and in particular to a tailings pond infiltration line measurement system and method. Background Art

[0002] As a storage place for the residues after mineral processing, tailings ponds pose a potential serious threat to the environment. If the heavy metals and harmful chemicals contained in the tailings seep into the groundwater, they may pose a significant risk to the surrounding ecosystem and human health. As an important parameter reflecting the liquid content and distribution in the tailings pond, the infiltration line is of great significance for predicting and preventing leakage of the tailings pond and ensuring the stability of the tailings pond. Accurately monitoring the spatial distribution of the infiltration line in the tailings pond is crucial for evaluating the safety of the tailings pond, optimizing management measures and preventing environmental pollution.

[0003] The location and distribution of the infiltration line directly affect the bearing capacity and stability of the tailings pond. When the infiltration line is located at a high position in the tailings pond, it means that a large amount of water exists in the tailings pile, which will increase the saturation of the tailings body, reduce its shear strength, and increase the risk of disasters such as landslides or collapses in the tailings pond. Understanding the spatial distribution of the infiltration line can help managers take effective drainage and reinforcement measures to improve the stability of the tailings pond. The distribution of the infiltration line determines the flow path and speed of water in the tailings pond, which is directly related to the migration direction and range of potential pollutants. Through spatial distribution monitoring, areas with high infiltration risks can be discovered in a timely manner, and isolation, purification and other measures can be taken to minimize the negative impact of the tailings pond on the environment.

[0029] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0030] The acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical solution disclosed in this disclosure are in compliance with the relevant provisions of relevant laws and regulations.

[0031] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, certain software, components, models and other existing solutions in the industry may be mentioned, and they should be considered as exemplary. Their purpose is only to illustrate the feasibility of implementing the technical solution of the present application, but it does not mean that the applicant has or will necessarily use the solution.

[0032] In current technology, many tailings ponds have established certain monitoring systems, but these systems still have deficiencies in terms of coverage, monitoring items, and data update frequency. Due to the lack of systematic and continuous monitoring, it is difficult to grasp the dynamic changes of the infiltration line in a timely manner, which affects the safety assessment and management of the tailings pond based on the infiltration line status. In addition, the existing methods for monitoring the infiltration line of tailings ponds mainly include physical measurement and geophysical methods. Physical measurement methods usually include drilling, logging, and sampling. These technologies are simple, intuitive, and easy to operate, but they have poor timeliness and usually take a long time. It is not convenient to achieve real-time monitoring of the dynamic changes of tailings ponds, and the coverage is limited. It is difficult to conduct comprehensive monitoring of a large range of tailings ponds, and only one-dimensional or two-dimensional distribution data can be obtained. The implementation of physical measurement requires a lot of manpower and material resources, especially in areas with complex terrain or harsh conditions, and the cost is high. Although geophysical detection methods (such as resistivity measurement) reduce physical interference to a certain extent, their sensitivity and spatial resolution to water distribution are still limited, and it is difficult to accurately reflect the spatial distribution of the infiltration line.

[0033] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure proposes a tailings pond wetting line measurement system. Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of a tailings pond wetting line measurement system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tailings pond wetting line measurement system 100 includes: a buried pipe 110, a signal transmitting unit 120, a signal receiving unit 130 and a processing unit 140.

[0034] The buried pipe 110 corresponds to the sub-dam of the target tailings pond one by one, and the buried pipe 110 is buried in the corresponding sub-dam, and the lower end of the buried pipe 110 is located below the infiltration line of the corresponding sub-dam.

[0035] It should be noted that tailings ponds are important facilities used by mining companies to store tailings generated during the beneficiation process (i.e. waste rock and fine mud remaining after beneficiation). A typical tailings pond consists of an initial dam and multiple sub-dams, which together ensure the safe storage of tailings.

[0036] In the disclosed embodiment, Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a tailings pond wetting line measurement system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2As shown, 1 is the initial dam of the tailings pond, 2 is the sub-dam, 3 is the infiltration line, 4 is the signal transmitting unit 120, 5 is the signal receiving unit 130, and 6 is the buried pipe 110. The tailings pond may include the initial dam of the tailings pond and multiple sub-dams. The initial dam refers to the first permanent water retaining dam built in the early stage of the tailings pond construction. It provides the basis for the subsequent tailings accumulation. As the tailings are continuously discharged, in order to increase the storage capacity, it will be gradually raised on the basis of the initial dam to form multiple sub-dams. Each newly added sub-dam is called a "lift" or "layer". The main function of the sub-dam is to expand the capacity of the tailings pond while maintaining the safety and stability of the entire tailings pond. Each sub-dam needs to be able to withstand the pressure from the tailings above, and can also ensure that no landslides or dam breaks occur under extreme weather conditions (such as heavy rains and earthquakes).

[0037] The buried pipe 110 is a pipe pre-buried in the sub-dam construction process, or a pipe excavated later, which is not limited here. It should be noted that the buried pipe 110 can be made of a variety of materials, which is not limited here. For example, the buried pipe 110 can be a PVC pipe.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to ensure that the lower end of the buried pipe 110 is located below the infiltration line of the corresponding sub-dam, a buried depth can be set in advance, and the bottom of the buried pipe 110 is located below the buried depth. It should be noted that the buried depth is a depth value below the infiltration line under normal circumstances, and the buried depth can be obtained through experiments and can also be determined based on the technical experience of technicians.

[0039] The signal transmitting unit 120 is slidably disposed inside the buried pipe 110 and is used to transmit sound wave signals.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal transmitting unit 120 may be various types of signal sending devices, which are not limited herein.

[0041] It should be noted that the signal transmission unit in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be moved up and down in the buried pipe 110 according to actual measurement requirements to achieve the requirements of sound wave transmission at different angles and depths. The influence of the complex underground environment on the measurement and signal transmission work can be greatly reduced, and different test requirements can be met at the same time.

[0042] The signal receiving unit 130 is disposed on the sub-dam of the target tailings pond and is located above the wetting line of the corresponding sub-dam, and is used to receive the sound wave signal emitted by the signal emitting unit 120 .

[0043] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2As shown, the signal receiving unit 130 can be set on the upper part of the sub-dam, or can be set at a certain buried depth of the sub-dam, which is not limited here. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal receiving unit 130 can be one or more, which is not limited here. It can be limited according to actual design needs.

[0044] The processing unit 140 is used to determine the infiltration line distribution data of the target tailings based on the acoustic wave signal uploaded by the signal receiving unit 130 .

[0045] It should be noted that the processing unit 140 can be of various types, and no limitation is made herein. For example, the processing unit 140 can be a processor, or a cloud server with processing functions arranged in the cloud.

[0046] Therefore, the tailings pond infiltration line measurement system in the embodiment of the present disclosure can accurately calibrate the infiltration line position by setting buried pipes in each sub-dam and slidably setting the signal transmitting unit inside the buried pipes, and can realize the sound wave transmission requirements at different angles and depths, greatly reducing the impact of the complex underground environment on the measurement work and signal transmission work. Compared with the detection system in the current technology, the scheme in the present disclosure can perform continuous monitoring and can realize different testing requirements, which can not only significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of tailings pond infiltration line monitoring and reduce detection costs, but also provide strong technical support for the safety management and environmental protection of tailings ponds.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the infiltration line distribution data of the target tailings is determined based on the acoustic wave signal uploaded by the signal receiving unit, and the infiltration line distribution data of the target tailings can also be determined by Figure 3 To explain further, Figure 3 The present invention is a schematic diagram of determining the infiltration line distribution data of the target tailings based on the acoustic wave signal uploaded by the signal receiving unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0048] S301, obtaining a first speed of sound waves transmitted in a medium below the immersion line and a second speed of sound waves transmitted in a medium below the immersion line.

[0049] The propagation speed of sound waves in media of different densities is different. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first speed of sound transmission in the medium of the wetting line is different from the second speed of sound transmission in the medium below the wetting line. Through this characteristic, the position of a point on the wetting line can be determined by the time of sound wave transmission.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first speed and the second speed can be obtained through experiments. For example, the tailings area medium to be detected can be sampled in a laboratory state, and the pre-used sound wave transmitting device and the sound wave receiving device can be buried in the sampled medium according to a certain position relationship, and the propagation time of the sound wave between the receiving and transmitting devices under different humidity can be measured by controlling the humidity of the sampled medium, thereby establishing the relationship between the medium parameters with different humidity and the ultrasonic wave propagation speed.

[0051] S302, for any sound wave signal, obtain a first timestamp when a signal transmitting unit that transmits the sound wave signal transmits the sound wave signal, and a second timestamp when a signal receiving unit that receives the sound wave signal receives the sound wave signal, and obtain a first transmission distance between the signal transmitting unit that transmits the sound wave signal and the signal receiving unit that receives the sound wave signal.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal transmitting unit and the signal receiving unit may be provided with a positioning device, and their corresponding positions may be determined by the positioning device, thereby further determining the first transmission distance between the signal transmitting unit and the signal receiving unit.

[0053] S303, determining a wet line position based on the first speed, the second speed, the first timestamp, the second timestamp and the first transmission distance.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after obtaining the first speed, the second speed, the first timestamp, the second timestamp and the first transmission distance, the distance of the immersion line point from the signal receiving unit and the signal transmitting unit can be calculated by a preset algorithm. Then, the immersion line point is determined based on the coordinates of the signal receiving unit and the signal transmitting unit and their respective distances.

[0055] S304: Determine the infiltration line distribution data of the target tailings based on all the infiltration line points.

[0056] In the disclosed embodiment, the first speed of the sound wave transmitted in the medium on the infiltration line and the second speed of the sound wave transmitted in the medium under the infiltration line are first obtained, and then for any sound wave signal, the first timestamp when the signal transmitting unit transmitting the sound wave signal transmits the sound wave signal and the second timestamp when the signal receiving unit receiving the sound wave signal receives the sound wave signal are obtained, and the first transmission distance between the signal transmitting unit transmitting the sound wave signal and the signal receiving unit receiving the sound wave signal is obtained, and then based on the first speed, the second speed, the first timestamp, the second timestamp and the first transmission distance, the infiltration line point is determined, and finally the infiltration line distribution data of the target tailings is determined based on all the infiltration line points. Thus, the specific position of the infiltration line is determined by accurate timestamps, transmission distances and sound wave speeds, and then the infiltration line distribution of the entire tailings pond is drawn, which not only improves the monitoring accuracy, but also provides reliable data support for the safety management of the tailings pond. Compared with traditional drilling sampling and other methods, non-contact acoustic wave measurement can avoid data distortion caused by disturbances in the sampling process and provide more real and reliable infiltration line data.

[0057] In the above embodiment, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of determining the infiltration line distribution data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The infiltration line distribution data can also be determined by Figure 4 Further explanation, including:

[0058] S401, adjusting the position of the signal transmitting unit in the buried pipe according to a preset adjustment rule.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be multiple preset adjustment rules, which are not limited here. In a possible implementation, the preset adjustment rule may be to adjust a certain distance upward or downward according to an adjustment period.

[0060] Optionally, the preset adjustment rule can also be to adjust between two positions according to a preset time interval, for example, the signal transmitting unit is at position a at the current timestamp, and is adjusted to position b at the next timestamp, and then cyclically alternately transmits sound waves between position a and position b.

[0061] S402, for any adjustment, determining a second transmission distance between the adjusted signal transmitting unit and the signal receiving unit that receives the sound wave signal.

[0062] S403: Determine candidate infiltration line locations of the target tailings based on the second transmission distance.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the position of the signal receiving unit is fixed, when the position of the signal transmitting unit changes, the second transmission distance changes, and a new candidate infiltration line point position can be determined.

[0064] By adjusting the signal transmission unit, multiple candidate infiltration line points can be collected and determined, which can improve the subsequent

[0065] S404: Determine the wetting line distribution data of the target tailings based on all candidate wetting line points.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there are many methods for determining the infiltration line distribution data based on all candidate infiltration line points, which are not limited here. In one possible implementation, all candidate infiltration line points can be calculated by a preset fitting algorithm to generate the infiltration line distribution data of the target tailings.

[0067] In another possible implementation, all candidate wetting line points can be input into a wetting line generation model to generate wetting line distribution data of the target tailings. The wetting line generation model is trained in advance and can be stored in the storage space of the electronic device for easy retrieval when needed.

[0068] In the disclosed embodiment, the position of the signal transmitting unit in the buried pipe is first adjusted according to the preset adjustment rules, and then for any adjustment, the second transmission distance between the adjusted signal transmitting unit and the signal receiving unit receiving the acoustic signal is determined, and then the candidate infiltration line points of the target tailings are determined based on the second transmission distance, and finally the infiltration line distribution data of the target tailings are determined based on all the candidate infiltration line points. Thus, by dynamically adjusting the position of the signal transmitting unit and combining the data of the receiving unit to determine the candidate infiltration line points, and finally drawing the infiltration line distribution map, this method not only improves the flexibility and accuracy of monitoring, but also provides more reliable data support for the safety management of the tailings pond.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal receiving unit is also used to filter out the sound wave signal whose signal strength is less than the strength threshold, so as to ensure the accuracy of subsequent data processing.

[0070] It should be noted that the intensity threshold is designed in advance and can be changed according to actual measurement requirements, and no limitation is made here.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal transmitting unit and the signal receiving unit are clock synchronized. In a possible implementation, the signal transmitting unit and the signal receiving unit are connected via a synchronous clock line to ensure that the signal receiving unit can start timing from the moment of transmission of the signal transmitting unit, thereby accurately calculating the propagation time of the sound wave in the tailings medium.

[0072] In the disclosed embodiment, the sound wave emission frequencies of all signal emitting units are different, so that the sound wave sources can be distinguished by the sound wave frequencies, providing a data basis for the subsequent determination of candidate infiltration line points.

[0073] In the disclosed embodiment, the signal transmitting unit is provided with a displacement pulley and a motor, the output end of the motor is connected to the enabling end of the displacement pulley, and the buried pipe is provided with a slide rail that slides in cooperation with the displacement pulley.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the infiltration line of the target tailings is obtained, an effective reference can be provided for the design and operation of the target tailings based on the infiltration line.

[0079] In the design stage, by measuring the distribution of the infiltration line, the tailings pond design can be optimized, a more reasonable pond structure and anti-seepage materials can be selected, and the safe storage capacity of the tailings pond can be increased. In the operation stage, the tailings discharge strategy and water control measures are adjusted according to the dynamic changes of the infiltration line to effectively manage the capacity and safety of the tailings pond. In the closure stage, understanding the distribution of the infiltration line will help to formulate a more scientific closure plan to ensure long-term stability.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, after the infiltration line of the target tailings is obtained, the infiltration line can also be compared with a preset alarm line, and then in response to identifying the existence of a curve segment located below the alarm line in the infiltration line, an alarm event is generated based on the curve segment.

[0081] In one possible implementation, the coordinates of the curve segment can be determined to determine the location of the curve coordinates in the tailings pond, so that an alarm event at the corresponding location can be generated and sent to the corresponding maintenance personnel for further verification or taking corresponding measures.

[0082] Corresponding to the tailings pond infiltration line measurement methods provided in the above-mentioned embodiments, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a tailings pond infiltration line measurement device.
