Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microseismic monitoring in building construction technology, and in particular relates to a deep hole microseismic monitoring device for a soft rock tunnel project and an installation and recovery method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Microseismic monitoring technology can capture the elastic wave signals generated when rock mass breaks. As an important means of non-destructive monitoring of surrounding rock deformation and damage at an engineering scale, it is widely used in rock stability monitoring and dynamic disaster warning in the field of underground engineering.
[0003] When using microseismic monitoring technology in soft rock tunnel projects, it is an important technical prerequisite to ensure that the microseismic sensor can effectively receive the elastic wave signal generated when the rock mass breaks and reduce noise. Usually, it is necessary to drill the microseismic sensor into the deep part of the borehole, and use resin anchors, cement mortar, etc. to couple the microseismic sensor with the surrounding rock.
[0004] When installing microseismic sensors in deep holes, the existing technology cannot ensure that the microseismic sensors can be fully coupled with the rock mass, and it is easy to cause the coupling between the microseismic sensors and the surrounding rock to fail under interference such as blasting and surrounding rock movement. At the same time, microseismic sensors are expensive, and the violent surrounding rock movement of soft rock tunnels can easily cause the borehole to collapse, making the microseismic sensors unable to be recovered, increasing the economic cost of monitoring.
[0005] Microseismic monitoring of tunnel engineering requires frequent migration of microseismic sensors to the tunnel face. Therefore, a deep-hole microseismic sensor and its installation and recovery method are designed to effectively and conveniently install the microseismic sensor in the deep borehole and ensure effective coupling between the microseismic sensor and the surrounding rock. At the same time, the effective recovery of the microseismic sensor is still a difficulty in microseismic monitoring of soft rock tunnels. Summary of the invention

[0009] Furthermore, the contact end between the microseismic sensor and the anchoring agent is coated with a coupling agent.
[0010] Furthermore, the signal line of the microseismic sensor is in the iron sleeve and is led out through the hemispherical protective shell.
[0011] Furthermore, the hemispherical protective shell is fixed to the surrounding rock via expansion bolts on all sides.
[0012] Furthermore, a flat bottom plate is arranged at the outer end of the telescopic rod, one end of the spring is fixedly contacted with the bottom plate, and the other end is pressed and connected with the hemispherical protective shell.
[0013] The present invention also discloses an installation and recovery method using the above monitoring device, comprising the following steps:
[0014] The first step is to select a drill bit that is larger than the microseismic sensor to drill a hole. After the drilling is completed, put the iron sleeve into the hole as soon as possible.
[0015] The second step is to apply coupling agent to the end of the resin anchor compactor, connect the fixing rod and the resin anchor compactor through a stainless steel clamp, send the resin anchor to the bottom of the borehole and press it tightly and compact it; then take out the resin anchor compactor;
[0016] The third step is to separate the fixing rod from the resin anchor compactor; apply coupling agent to the end of the microseismic sensor and send it to the bottom of the borehole after connecting it to the fixing rod;
[0017] Step 4: After adjusting the telescopic rod to a suitable position, fix the length of the telescopic rod and spray the sealing foam inside the iron sleeve;
[0018] The fifth step is to fix the hemispherical protective shell to the tunnel surrounding rock through expansion bolts, connect the signal line out of the borehole, and carry out microseismic monitoring;
[0019] Step 6. After the microseismic monitoring is completed, loosen the expansion bolts to remove the hemispherical protective shell, and completely remove the microseismic sensor through the fixing rod.
[0020] The benefits of the present invention:
[0021] The microseismic sensor of the deep hole microseismic monitoring device for soft rock tunnel engineering of the present invention is simple and easy to install, saving a lot of manpower, and can be installed in the deep hole, overcoming the influence of construction noise in the tunnel on microseismic signal collection.
[0022] The deep hole microseismic monitoring device for soft rock tunnel engineering of the present invention is controlled by a bolt mechanism, and can realize the maintenance and inspection of microseismic sensors during the microseismic monitoring process, and realize the recovery and re-reading of microseismic sensors, which facilitates construction and reduces engineering costs.
[0023] The deep hole microseismic monitoring device for soft rock tunnel engineering of the present invention installs an iron sleeve after drilling the borehole to achieve effective protection of the microseismic sensor during the monitoring process. It can adapt to unfavorable geological conditions such as rock fragmentation and widespread joint distribution, and at the same time ensure effective coupling between the microseismic sensor and the rock wall during deep hole monitoring.

[0031] The resin anchor 1 is a common slow anchor on the market, which is located at the bottom of the borehole 9 and is used to correct the bottom of the borehole 9 to a plane, so that the microseismic sensor 5 can be in close contact with the bottom of the borehole 9 and effectively receive rock fracture signals.
[0032] The coupling agent 2 is located between the resin anchoring agent 1 at the bottom of the borehole 9 and the microseismic sensor 5 . Generally, industrial vaseline can be selected to better couple the microseismic sensor 5 with the bottom of the borehole 9 .
[0033] The iron sleeve 4 is located inside the borehole 9, with an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the borehole 9 and an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the microseismic sensor 5. The iron sleeve 4 is placed in the borehole 9 as soon as the borehole 9 is formed, and is used to support the borehole 9 to prevent collapse during the detection of the microseismic sensor 5, thereby ensuring that the microseismic sensor 5 can be recovered smoothly.
[0034] The bottom of the microseismic sensor 5 is connected to a signal line 7 for transmitting the signal received by the microseismic sensor 5 out of the borehole 9 .
[0035] The fixing rod 8 is composed of two rigid rods having a depth approximately equal to that of the drilled hole 9 .

[0037] The spring mechanism 12 is composed of a spring and a bottom plate. One end of the spring is connected to the hemispherical protective shell 14 , and the other end is connected to the bottom plate and in contact with the telescopic rod 10 .
[0038] The hemispherical protective shell 14 is a stainless steel shell with bolt holes distributed around the edge. The hemispherical protective shell 14 is fixed to the rock mass by expansion bolts 11, and there is a wiring opening to transmit the signal line 7 from the borehole 9.
[0039] The resin anchor compactor 13 is a truncated cone structure, which can be connected to the fixing rod 8 and is used to compact the resin anchor 1 at the bottom of the hole.
[0040] The sealing foam glue is a common foam glue available on the market, and is used to spray the sealing foam glue 15 to seal the borehole 9 after the microseismic sensor 5 is installed, so as to isolate the microseismic sensor 5 from the influence of noise outside the borehole 9.
[0041] The method for installing and recovering the deep hole microseismic sensor for soft rock tunnel engineering of the present invention adopts the following method:
[0042] The first step is to select a drill bit larger than the microseismic sensor 5 to drill the borehole 9, and after the drilling 9 is completed, the iron sleeve 4 is immediately placed inside the borehole 9;
[0043] The second step is to apply lubricant 2, such as industrial vaseline, to the end of the resin anchor compactor 13, connect the fixing rod 8 to the resin anchor compactor 13 through the stainless steel clamp 6, and send the resin anchor to the bottom of the borehole 9 to compress and compact it. Then take out the resin anchor compactor 13;
[0044] The third step is to separate the fixing rod 8 from the resin anchor compactor 13; apply coupling agent 2, such as industrial vaseline, to the end of the microseismic sensor 5, and send it to the bottom of the borehole 9 after the fixing rod 8 is connected;
[0045] Step 4: After adjusting the telescopic rod 10 to a suitable position, fix the length of the telescopic rod 10 and spray the sealing foam 15 in the iron sleeve 4;
[0046] Step 5: Fix the hemispherical protective shell 14 to the tunnel surrounding rock through the expansion bolts 11, connect the signal line 7 out of the borehole, and carry out microseismic monitoring;
[0047] Step 6: After the microseismic monitoring is completed, loosen the expansion bolts 11 to remove the hemispherical protective shell 14 , and completely take out the microseismic sensor 5 through the fixing rod 8 .
