Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of coal mining and coal mine safety, and relates to a method for measuring the average gas concentration and concentration distribution of a full-section of an underground coal mine tunnel. Background Art
[0002] Coal is the "ballast stone" of my country's energy security. However, my country's shallow coal resources are almost exhausted, and deep mining has gradually become the mainstream of my country's coal resource development. The characteristics of high gas, high stress and low permeability in deep coal seam mining are further highlighted. In recent decades, my country's coal mining technology and equipment have developed rapidly, and the mining intensity has been further increased. Under high-intensity mining, the amount of gas outflow is large, and gas control is difficult. In addition, methane is recognized as the second largest greenhouse gas, accounting for about 18% of the global greenhouse effect. The energy industry is the largest source of methane emissions in my country, accounting for about 46% of emissions, and coal mine methane accounts for 89% of methane emissions in the energy industry.
[0003] Gas emission is the basic data for predicting the danger of gas outburst in working face, optimizing ventilation design, and measuring methane emission. Accurately measuring gas emission is of great significance for guiding coal mine safety production and measuring methane emission in underground coal mines. At present, most of the gas emission monitoring sensors in mine tunnels are point sensors. One sensor can only measure the gas concentration at a certain point, and cannot measure the average methane concentration on the tunnel section. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a method for measuring the average gas concentration and concentration distribution of the entire cross-section of an underground coal mine tunnel.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A method for measuring the average gas concentration and concentration distribution of the entire cross-section of an underground coal mine tunnel is provided. A methane telemeter is installed on the side wall of the tunnel. The tunnel cross-section is divided into N sub-areas according to the segmentation angle α with the methane telemeter as the center point. The area corresponding to the i-th sub-area is A. i , the methane telemeter is rotated from 0° to an angle α, and the average methane concentration C corresponding to the angle position is measured at each rotation. i and the average methane concentration C i As the average methane concentration in the i-th sub-area, the gas concentration distribution is obtained;
[0007] Tunnel cross-sectional area The average methane concentration C of the entire tunnel section is calculated using weighted average,
[0008]
[0009] Furthermore, the area of the sub-area is calculated as follows: the installation height of the methane telemeter is L1, and the distance between the methane telemeter and the tunnel wall when it is at the 0° position is L1, then Each time the methane telemeter rotates a unit angle, the corresponding distance from the tunnel wall is L. i , then the approximate method is used to calculate the area corresponding to the i-th sub-region
[0010] Furthermore, a laser distance measuring sensor is integrated on the methane telemeter, and the distance between the methane telemeter and the tunnel wall is measured by the laser distance measuring sensor.
[0011] Furthermore, the angle α is less than 10°.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] 1. Existing gas concentration monitoring methods mostly rely on point sensors, which can only measure the gas concentration of a single point in the tunnel, and it is difficult to accurately reflect the gas concentration distribution of the entire tunnel section. However, the present invention divides the tunnel section into several sub-areas, gradually measures the gas concentration in each area, and can obtain the concentration data of the entire tunnel section and calculate the average concentration of the entire section. This full-section measurement method effectively improves the representativeness of the concentration data, making the measurement results closer to the actual gas concentration distribution of the tunnel section, and providing more guiding data for coal mine safety management.
[0014] 2. The present invention can effectively identify the uneven distribution of gas concentration by dividing the tunnel section into multiple sub-areas and independently measuring the methane concentration in each area. The gas concentration may fluctuate in different areas or even form local accumulation. The measurement method of the present invention can show the distribution of gas concentration in detail and provide a basis for ventilation design and gas control solutions. For example, the air volume distribution of the ventilation system can be adjusted according to the concentration differences in different areas, so as to control the gas concentration more efficiently.
[0015] 3. The present invention adopts the weighted average method to calculate the average gas concentration of the entire section, that is, the overall average concentration is obtained by weighting the concentration values of each sub-area by area, avoiding the error that may be caused by simple arithmetic average. The weighted average method can more truly reflect the concentration status in the tunnel section, making the calculation result more scientific and reasonable.
[0016] 4. The segmentation method and measurement steps of the present invention are highly flexible and can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the actual tunnel section. For example, the segmentation angle α can be set according to factors such as the tunnel width and shape to ensure the rationality of the segmentation area, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. Therefore, the present invention is not only applicable to standard tunnels, but also to irregular or special-shaped tunnels, and has wide applicability and is easy to promote.
