BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the arrangement of monitoring points and patrol method for slopes in mining areas according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the mining area slope monitoring point arrangement and inspection method of the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0026] S1. Determine the number of monitoring points and check the accuracy of the coordinates of the monitoring points. It is understandable that the number of monitoring points is first determined based on the scale, stability and monitoring needs of the mining slope. Then, the coordinates of the predetermined monitoring points are measured on the spot using a measuring instrument (such as a total station, GPS measuring instrument, etc.) to check the accuracy of the coordinates.

[0027] In some embodiments, in step S1, before determining the number of monitoring points, the following steps are also included: surveying the geological conditions, slope morphology, rock characteristics and scope of production activities in the mining area.

[0028] It is understandable that a detailed survey of the geological conditions of the mining area is carried out, including the lithology, structure, fault distribution, groundwater conditions, etc. of the strata. The morphology of the slope, such as slope, slope height, slope surface morphology, etc., as well as possible landslide patterns are analyzed. The physical and mechanical properties of the rock, such as compressive strength, shear strength, elastic modulus, etc. are studied. The scope and intensity of production activities, such as mining methods, blasting operations, transportation routes, etc., are considered.

[0029] Among them, geological survey equipment, such as drilling rigs, core samplers, geophysical exploration equipment (such as seismographs, electromagnetic instruments, etc.). Surveying equipment, such as total stations, GPS measuring instruments, laser scanners, etc. Laboratory equipment for rock mechanical property testing. Groundwater monitoring equipment, such as water level meters, permeameters, etc.

[0030] S2. Prepare the tools needed for testing. It is understandable that, according to the monitoring requirements, corresponding testing tools and equipment, such as level, theodolite, rangefinder, inclinometer, etc., are prepared, and these equipment are calibrated and checked.

[0031] S3. Survey the monitoring points and determine the rationality and safety of the survey points and their surroundings. That is, conduct a field survey of the monitoring points and their surroundings to assess their rationality and safety. If unreasonable or unsafe factors are encountered, adjust the location of the monitoring points in a timely manner. This ensures that the monitoring points are arranged in reasonable and safe locations to avoid monitoring errors or safety accidents caused by environmental factors.

[0032] In some embodiments, when surveying the monitoring point in step S3, drone aerial photography technology is used to assist in evaluating the rationality and safety of the monitoring point and its surrounding locations.

[0033] It is understandable that drone aerial photography can quickly cover a large area, which can greatly save time and human resources compared to traditional manual survey methods. It can also be used to take aerial photos in dangerous areas, reducing the working time of personnel in dangerous areas and reducing safety risks. In addition, the high-resolution camera carried by drones can provide detailed ground information, which helps to more accurately evaluate the rationality and safety of monitoring points. Aerial images can intuitively observe the monitoring point and its surrounding environment, which helps to discover potential hidden dangers and problems.

[0034] S4. Recalculate the coordinates of the monitoring points based on the survey results. Recalculate and adjust the coordinates of the monitoring points to ensure the accuracy of the monitoring data.

[0035] In some embodiments, when recalculating the coordinates of the monitoring points in step S4, computer-aided design and geographic information system technology are used to perform data analysis and coordinate correction. In other words, the coordinates of the monitoring points are processed using computers, measurement software, etc. to ensure that the coordinates of the monitoring points are consistent with the actual environment and improve the accuracy of the monitoring data.

[0036] S5. Delineate an observation area and establish an observation network within the delineated observation area. The observation network includes multiple observation lines, which are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the slope of the mining area. One observation line includes multiple observation points, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the observation line.

[0037] It is understood that the scope of the observation area is determined based on factors such as the scale, stability, potential sliding surface and landslide pattern of the mining slope. In the observation area, multiple observation lines are arranged along the direction perpendicular to the mining slope. The layout of the observation line is a key part of covering the potential sliding area. Multiple observation points are set on each observation line, and the multiple observation points are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the observation line. Among them, the interval distance of the observation points depends on the characteristics of the slope and the accuracy requirements of monitoring.

[0038] In addition, set up obvious markers such as stakes, poles or reflectors at each observation point to facilitate accurate positioning and monitoring. Record the direction of all observation lines, the location of observation points and any relevant geographic information to facilitate monitoring and analysis.

[0039] It should be noted that in step S5, the surveying instruments used may be, for example, total stations, GPS surveying instruments, rangefinders, theodolites, etc., for accurately measuring the positions of observation points and observation lines. In other words, by establishing an observation network covering the entire observation area, data can be systematically collected to more comprehensively analyze the stability of the slope. Accurate measuring equipment can provide high-precision observation point locations to ensure the accuracy of monitoring data. In addition, the design of the observation network ensures that key areas are covered, reduces information blind spots, and improves data integrity. The observation network can be expanded or adjusted as needed to adapt to changes in the mining environment or new monitoring requirements.

[0040] Preferably, in step S5, the observation area is established in the area where bedrock is exposed and the hard foundation is present.

[0041] It is understandable that areas with exposed bedrock usually have higher stability because they are not affected by the surface soil and are not easily deformed by rain erosion or surface activities. Such areas can provide stable support for monitoring equipment and ensure the reliability of monitoring data. In addition, establishing observation areas in areas with exposed bedrock and hard foundations can reduce data errors caused by soft surface soil or vegetation cover. The stability of bedrock means that monitoring points are relatively fixed and can provide more accurate and consistent monitoring data. In addition, it is relatively easy to install monitoring equipment in hard foundation areas, and maintenance work is also relatively simple. The hard nature of bedrock provides good conditions for equipment installation and reduces the risk of equipment damage due to weak foundations.

[0042] Preferably, in step S5, the monitoring depth of the observation area is greater than 1 times the depth of the mining area. That is to say, according to the depth and geological conditions of the mining area, the appropriate monitoring depth is determined to ensure that it is greater than 1 times the depth of the mining area. Among them, the technology and equipment used for deep monitoring can be selected such as underground displacement meters, seismographs, and acoustic wave detectors.

[0043] It is understood that increasing the monitoring depth can ensure that not only the stability of the surface layer of the mine is monitored, but also potential sliding surfaces or deformation areas at depth can be monitored, and potential signs of instability can be detected earlier, thus providing more time for preventive measures to be taken.

[0044] In addition, deep monitoring can provide a more complete data set on slope stability, which helps to more accurately analyze the deformation patterns and trends of the slope. It can also help assess the impact of mining activities on the surrounding environment (such as groundwater, soil structure, etc.).

[0045] Preferably, in step S5, a total station is used to monitor the monitoring points, and the distance between two adjacent monitoring points is greater than or equal to 20 meters.

[0046] Specifically, the location of monitoring points is planned according to the scale and topography of the mining slope, ensuring that the distance between adjacent monitoring points is greater than or equal to 20 meters. In addition, total stations are set up at the monitoring points so that the monitoring area can cover the entire monitoring area to ensure that the total station can accurately measure each monitoring point and record its three-dimensional coordinates or horizontal displacement data.

[0047] It is understandable that ensuring the distance between monitoring points can reduce mutual interference between monitoring points, and each monitoring point can more independently reflect the deformation of its location. And appropriate point spacing can avoid excessive data redundancy, making the monitoring data more streamlined and easier to analyze and process.

[0048] In some embodiments, the observation network established in step S5 further includes: a data transmission system, and the data transmission system is used to transmit the data of the monitoring points to the monitoring center in real time.

[0049] It is understood that the data measured by the total station is recorded and transmitted to the data processing center through a transmission device (such as wireless transmission or storage medium). The monitoring center processes and analyzes the collected monitoring data to evaluate the stability of the slope.

[0050] S6. Patrol and inspect the surface of the mining area to verify the correctness of the location of the layout points.

[0051] In some embodiments, the patrol inspection in step S6 also includes monitoring the working status and surrounding environment of the monitoring device to ensure the normal operation of the monitoring device.

[0052] Specifically, the inspectors need to check the actual location of each monitoring point to ensure that it is consistent with the designed location and there is no deviation due to terrain changes or other reasons; they also need to check the working status of each monitoring device, including the connection status of the sensor, battery power, and the operation of the data recorder. If any abnormality is found in the equipment, it needs to be repaired or replaced in time; it is necessary to observe the environmental conditions around the monitoring point, including whether there are new construction activities, vegetation changes, animal damage, etc., which may affect the normal operation of the monitoring equipment; it is necessary to record in detail the problems and abnormalities found during the inspection, as well as the response measures taken, to facilitate subsequent monitoring analysis and equipment maintenance.

[0053] S7. Record the inspection results.

[0054] In some embodiments, when recording the inspection results in step S7, an electronic recording system is used, and the electronic recording information is electrically connected to the data transmission system to achieve rapid data entry, storage, transmission and query.

[0055] Specifically, the electronic recording system is installed and configured on the handheld device of the inspectors. Ensure that the system is electrically connected to the data transmission system to facilitate the rapid transmission of data to the monitoring center. During the inspection, the inspectors use the electronic recording system to record the location of the monitoring point, the status of the monitoring equipment, the surrounding environment, and any abnormal findings. The data information of the entered monitoring points includes text descriptions, photos, videos, GPS coordinates, etc.

[0056] It is understandable that in the monitoring center, the staff can quickly query and analyze these data to understand the monitoring situation in a timely manner. The monitoring center can automatically generate reports based on the inspection results and feedback the reports (including data statistics, trend analysis, abnormal situation overview, etc.) to the inspectors so that the inspectors can adjust the inspection tasks in a timely manner according to the feedback reports and deal with emergencies.

[0057] To sum up, the arrangement and inspection method of slope monitoring points in mining areas according to the embodiment of the present invention can make adequate preparations before and after determining the observation points to ensure the scientificity and effectiveness of the arrangement and inspection method of slope monitoring points in mining areas, and provide strong support for safe production in mining areas.
