BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0074] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the module structure of the intelligent early warning system for real-time monitoring of coal pillar stability provided in an embodiment of the present invention shows the composition of the stress distribution detection module, the crack extension detection module, the vibration signal detection module, the environmental parameter detection module, the data fusion analysis module, the early warning mechanism module and the emergency response module and their mutual relationship. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0075] The present invention provides an intelligent early warning method and system for real-time monitoring of coal pillar stability. The core of the system is to achieve comprehensive monitoring and intelligent early warning of coal pillar stability during coal mining through the collaborative work of multiple modules. Figure 1 As well as the technical details in the content of the invention, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent early warning system of the present invention includes a stress distribution detection module, a crack extension detection module, a vibration signal detection module, an environmental parameter detection module, a data fusion analysis module, an early warning mechanism module and an emergency response module. These modules are interconnected through data transmission and logic control to form a complete coal pillar stability monitoring system. In practical applications, the system is deployed at the coal mining site to achieve real-time monitoring of the coal pillar status through a sensor network, data acquisition equipment and a central processing unit.

[0077] First, the stress distribution detection module is the basic part of the whole system, which is used to monitor the stress distribution of the coal pillar in real time. In the specific implementation, the initial stress detection is completed by measuring the uniformity and local anomalies of the initial stress field of the coal pillar. For example, in the early stage of coal mining, high-precision strain gauges are arranged on the surface and key positions of the coal pillar to collect stress data and transmit them to the central processing unit. If the stress field is detected to be non-uniform or locally abnormal, the system will output a warning message. The dynamic stress change detection simulates the stress changes during the mining process and combines the real-time collected data to determine whether there is a stress fluctuation beyond the safety range. For example, during the advancement of the coal mining machine, the system will continuously monitor the change trend of the coal pillar stress and compare it with the preset safety threshold. If the stress fluctuation is found to be beyond the safety range, a warning will be triggered immediately. In addition, the stress concentration area detection uses the finite element analysis algorithm to identify whether there is stress concentration inside the coal pillar. If stress concentration is detected and no mitigation measures are taken, the system will also issue a warning. The above test results will serve as important input data for subsequent modules.

[0078] The crack extension detection module is responsible for real-time monitoring of the morphology and expansion rate of coal pillar cracks. In specific implementation, crack morphology detection uses laser scanners and ultrasonic detectors to accurately measure the length, width and depth of cracks. For example, when the crack length exceeds the preset threshold, the system will record the anomaly and output a warning. The crack extension rate detection simulates the crack extension speed under different mining conditions and combines historical data to predict future expansion trends. For example, under high-intensity mining conditions, the system will judge the stability of the coal pillar based on whether the crack extension rate exceeds the safe extension rate. If the crack extension rate is too high, the system will immediately issue a warning and prompt to take corresponding measures. The results of the crack extension detection will directly affect the analysis and decision-making of subsequent modules.

[0079] The vibration signal detection module is used to collect microseismic signals around the coal pillar and acoustic emission signals inside. In the specific implementation, the microseismic signal detection collects frequency and amplitude data through acceleration sensors arranged around the coal pillar. For example, when the frequency or amplitude of the microseismic signal fluctuates abnormally, the system will mark it as a potential risk and output a warning. The acoustic emission signal detection collects energy release data through an acoustic emission probe installed inside the coal pillar. For example, when the energy release of the acoustic emission signal exceeds the normal range, the system will determine that the coal pillar may have internal damage and issue a warning. The results of the vibration signal detection will be integrated with the data of other modules to improve the accuracy of the overall monitoring.

[0080] The environmental parameter detection module is responsible for real-time monitoring of the temperature, humidity and gas concentration around the coal pillar. In the specific implementation, the temperature detection collects the ambient temperature data around the coal pillar through the thermocouple sensor. For example, when the temperature exceeds the safe range, the system will issue a warning and prompt the possible fire hazard. The humidity detection collects the ambient humidity data around the coal pillar through the humidity sensor. For example, when the humidity rises abnormally, the system will determine that there may be a risk of water seepage and issue a warning. The gas concentration detection collects the gas concentration data around the coal pillar through the gas sensor. For example, when the gas concentration reaches a dangerous level, the system will immediately issue a warning and start the emergency response procedure. The results of the environmental parameter detection will provide important environmental background information for subsequent modules.

[0081] The data fusion analysis module is the core part of the whole system, responsible for integrating multi-source data and performing abnormal pattern recognition. In the specific implementation, the multi-source data integration detection integrates the data of stress distribution, crack extension, vibration signal and environmental parameters to detect whether there is a data conflict. For example, when there is a contradiction between the stress distribution data and the crack extension data, the system will output a warning and prompt for further verification. The abnormal pattern recognition detection analyzes the integrated data through a machine learning algorithm based on the support vector machine (SVM). The specific formula is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] Among them, x is the input data, αi is the Lagrange multiplier, yi is the target label, K(xi,x) is the kernel function, and b is the bias term. The algorithm can accurately identify abnormal patterns in the coal pillar state by learning from historical data. For example, when the system detects that multi-source data in a certain period of time all show abnormal trends, it will determine that the coal pillar may have potential risks and output a warning. The results of data fusion analysis will provide a scientific basis for the early warning mechanism module.

[0084] The early warning mechanism module is responsible for setting reasonable early warning thresholds and triggering graded early warnings based on the results of data analysis. In the specific implementation, the threshold setting detection determines the reasonable early warning threshold by analyzing historical data and current monitoring data. For example, when the stress fluctuation exceeds a certain value, the system will set it as the early warning threshold. The graded early warning detection simulates the early warning response under different risk levels to ensure that the corresponding level of early warning can be accurately triggered. For example, when the coal pillar state is at low risk, the system will issue a first-level early warning; when the coal pillar state is at high risk, the system will issue a third-level early warning and start the emergency response procedure. The design of the early warning mechanism module ensures that the system can issue accurate early warning information in a timely manner at different risk levels.

[0085] The emergency response module is responsible for responding quickly and matching appropriate disposal plans in emergency situations. In specific implementation, the response time detection simulates the response time in emergency situations to ensure that the system can complete the response within the specified time. For example, when the system detects that the coal pillar is in an abnormal state, it will start the emergency response program within 30 seconds. The disposal plan matching detection matches the most appropriate disposal plan by analyzing the current risk level. For example, when there is stress concentration in the coal pillar, the system will recommend taking pressure relief measures; when there is too fast expansion of cracks in the coal pillar, the system will recommend taking reinforcement measures. The design of the emergency response module ensures that the system can quickly take effective measures in an emergency to minimize the probability of coal mine accidents.

[0086] In summary, the present invention realizes comprehensive monitoring and intelligent early warning of coal pillar stability through the coordinated work of stress distribution detection module, crack extension detection module, vibration signal detection module, environmental parameter detection module, data fusion analysis module, early warning mechanism module and emergency response module. In practical applications, the system can significantly improve the safety of coal mining and provide important guarantee for coal mine safety production.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
