Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of rock acoustic emission experiments, in particular to a sensor module which is required for rock indoor acoustic emission experiments and has comprehensive data collection and is easy to install. Background Art
[0002] Acoustic emission technology can monitor the generation and expansion of microcracks in rocks during stress in real time. By capturing and analyzing the acoustic emission signals inside the rock, changes in the mechanical behavior of the rock, such as elastic deformation, damage and failure processes, can be reflected in a timely manner. This real-time monitoring enables researchers to obtain more detailed rock fracture mechanisms. By analyzing the source, frequency, energy and duration of the acoustic emission signal, the mechanical properties of the rock, such as stress-strain state, crack development, plastic deformation and fracture, can be inferred. The characteristics of the AE signal are closely related to the fracture mode, strength and toughness of the rock, and can provide valuable parameters for rock mechanics experiments. Therefore, acoustic emission experiments play an important role in the study of the mechanical properties of rocks.
[0003] The traditional acoustic emission experimental sensor is a single sensor. During the experiment, glue is used to stick the sensor to the rock sample. After the glue and the rock sample are firmly bonded, the rock sample with the sensor can be placed on the rock loading device for experiment. In this process, some rocks have high water content or low strength due to their special properties, which makes it easy to produce powder, making it difficult for the sensor to stick to the rock sample. Or, during the loading process of the rock sample, rock bursts are easily generated due to the sudden release of stress. For example, rock bursts are easy to pop out of the rock loading device when the sensor is pasted, causing the sensor to be damaged. In addition, since the top and bottom of the rock sample need to bear the loading of the rock loading device, the traditional single sensor cannot be pasted on the top and bottom of the rock sample, resulting in some experiments that need to collect acoustic emission signals from the top and bottom of the rock sample. In addition, each traditional single sensor requires a data line to connect to the signal processing system, which makes the experimental wires messy and complicated and increases the failure rate of the experimental equipment. To this end, we propose a rock acoustic emission experimental sensor module with comprehensive data acquisition and easy installation. Summary of the invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a rock acoustic emission experiment sensor module which is easy to install and has comprehensive data collection, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a rock acoustic emission experiment sensor module which is easy to install and has comprehensive data collection, comprising:
[0006] The upper fixture is connected to the upper end of the rock loading device through threads. The upper fixture is used to connect the rock loading device and load the rock sample during the experiment. The built-in sensor can be used to receive the acoustic emission signal from the upper end of the rock sample.
[0007] The lower fixture is connected to the lower end of the rock loading device through a thread. The lower fixture is used to connect the rock loading device and load the rock sample during the experiment. The built-in sensor can be used to receive the acoustic emission signal at the lower end of the rock sample.
[0008] Sensor integration module, which can integrate up to eight sensor units, is used to receive the acoustic emission signals emitted by rock samples during experiments.
[0009] Preferably, the upper fixture is made of metal material, and the upper end can be connected to the loading device through threads. The upper fixture has an acoustic emission sensor built in, and a data line interface connected to the signal processing system is reserved on the side.
[0010] Preferably, the lower clamp is made of metal material, and the lower end can be connected to the loading device through a thread. The lower clamp has a built-in acoustic emission sensor. A groove (data transmission interface) for fixing the sensor integrated module is reserved on the upper part of the lower clamp, and the groove (data transmission interface) also has the function of data transmission. A data line interface connected to the signal processing system is reserved on the side.
[0011] Preferably, the sensor integration module presents a hollow cylinder, which is made of a transparent resin material. Eight single sensors can be integrated inside the hollow cylinder. All single sensors are connected to the hollow cylinder using springs. The data line of the single sensor is built into the spring and connected to the lower fixture groove (data transmission interface) through a circle of metal protrusions (data transmission interface) under the hollow cylinder, and connected to the signal processing system through the data line interface reserved on the side of the lower fixture, so that one data line can transmit the signals of all sensors except the upper fixture sensor signal. Each single sensor integrated in the sensor integration module can be disassembled and replaced.
[0012] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The present invention integrates the sensor into the upper and lower clamps and the sensor integrated module, and uses springs instead of traditional glue to fix the sensor on the rock sample, thereby eliminating the tedious steps of pasting individual sensors one by one and eliminating the problem of experimental failure due to the loose pasting of the sensor and the rock sample; the present invention connects the sensor with the hollow cylinder of the sensor integrated module through a spring, thereby eliminating the phenomenon that the individual sensor is ejected when a rock burst occurs due to stress accumulation of the rock sample during the experiment, thereby causing damage to the sensor, and the transparent resin hollow cylinder of the sensor integrated module can also play a protective role when a rock burst occurs, and the transparent material makes it more convenient for experimenters to observe the deformation of the rock sample in real time; the present invention has a sensor built in each of the upper and lower clamps, so that relevant experiments that need to collect acoustic emission data at the upper and lower ends of the rock sample can be carried out conveniently; the present invention improves the traditional method that each sensor needs a data line to be connected to the signal processing system by integrating the data line inside the upper and lower clamps and the sensor integrated module, and only needs to connect the data line to the signal processing system from the data line interface reserved on the side of the upper and lower clamps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0020] It is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] See also Figure 1-4 , the present invention provides several technical solutions:
[0022] In the first embodiment, the upper clamp (1) and the lower clamp (2) are first connected to the rock loading device, and then the rock sample (4) is placed in the center of the upper clamp (1) and the lower clamp (2). Then, the number of sensors (7) required for the experiment is connected to the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module. After that, the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module connected with the sensor (7) is inserted into the rock sample (4) from top to bottom, and the connecting spring (6) between the sensor (7) and the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module can automatically adjust the sensor ( 7) and the rock sample (4) so that the sensor (7) is in close contact with the rock sample (4) without exerting a large force on the rock sample, and the sensor integrated module positioning and data transmission interface (9) below the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module are connected to the sensor integrated module positioning and data transmission interface (9) reserved on the lower fixture (2), and then the upper fixture data line interface (2) and the lower fixture data line interface (10) are respectively inserted into the data line, and then the data line is connected to the signal processing system to start the rock acoustic emission experiment.
[0023] In the second embodiment, the upper clamp (1) and the lower clamp (2) are first connected to the rock loading device, and then the rock sample (4) is placed in the center of the upper clamp (1) and the lower clamp (2), and then the number of sensors (7) required for the experiment is connected to the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module, and then the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module connected with the sensor (7) is inserted into the rock sample (4) from top to bottom, and the connecting spring (6) between the sensor (7) and the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module can automatically adjust the distance between the sensor (7) and the rock sample (4) so that the sensor (7) The rock sample (4) is closely attached without exerting a large force on the rock sample, and the sensor integrated module positioning and data transmission interface (9) below the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module is connected to the sensor integrated module positioning and data transmission interface (9) reserved on the lower fixture (2). If the rock mass acoustic emission experiment does not need to collect acoustic emission data at the upper and lower ends of the rock sample, then the experiment does not need to connect the data line at the upper fixture data line interface (2). It only needs to insert the data line at the lower fixture data line interface (10) and connect the data line to the signal processing system to start the rock mass acoustic emission experiment.
[0024] In the third embodiment, when conducting a rock acoustic emission experiment, since the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module is made of transparent resin, the experimenter can observe the real-time deformation of the rock sample (4) through the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module at any time. If a rock burst occurs, the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module can act as a protective cover to prevent rock fragments from flying out and causing a safety accident. In addition, since the sensor (7) is connected to the hollow cylinder (5) of the sensor integrated module by a connecting spring (6), the phenomenon of the sensor (7) being damaged by the rock burst and flying out is prevented.
