Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of in-situ monitoring of deep rock masses, and particularly relates to a multi-parameter monitoring optical fiber installation system for deep mining-induced rock masses. Background Art
[0002] Currently, sensing technologies based on distributed (fixed-point) optical fibers and fiber Bragg gratings are widely used in fields such as mine safety, deformation monitoring of disturbed rock masses in deep resource mining, and geological disaster early warning. They have the advantages of being passive, anti-electromagnetic interference, continuous monitoring, high temperature resistance, multiple monitored variables (displacement, deformation, temperature, water level, pressure, etc.), and easy networking.
[0003] However, due to the characteristics of the optical fiber itself being soft, thin, and easy to break, and having poor resistance to bending, folding, and torsion, the strata of the mining-induced rock masses are broken, and the straightness and integrity of the monitoring borehole are poor. As a result, in the multi-parameter monitoring of deep mining-induced rock masses with large burial depths and small borehole diameters, the optical fiber faces difficulties in being lowered and installed and in coupling with the rock and soil masses, leading to significant limitations in the on-site practical application of optical fiber monitoring technology in the field of deep mining-induced rock mass monitoring. Specifically, the self-weight of the deep-hole optical fiber is large, and it is easily broken during the lowering process; the borehole wall is rough and curved, and the optical fiber is prone to bending and curling, making it difficult to smoothly lower it straight; the rock masses in the borehole are broken due to mining, and directly pouring slurry from the hole mouth from top to bottom easily leads to technical problems such as bridge plugging, hole blocking, poor coupling, and low reliability of monitoring results. In order to overcome the above practical problems, the present invention provides a multi-parameter monitoring optical fiber installation system for deep mining-induced rock masses. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a multi-parameter monitoring optical fiber installation system for deep mining-induced rock masses to solve the actual problems in the lowering and installation of monitoring optical fibers for deep mining-induced rock masses on-site.
[0005] A multi-parameter monitoring optical fiber installation system for deep mining-induced rock masses, where the optical fiber generally refers to armored distributed optical fibers, fixed-point optical fiber cables, or optical fiber cables composed of fiber Bragg grating sensors using optical fiber transmission. The system includes an annular hole pouring component, an optical fiber binding component, an installation positioning component, and a weight directional guide head.
[0006] The installation positioning component includes a drilling rig tower, a drilling rig pulley group, an optical fiber lowering and installation sky pulley group and a ground pulley group, an optical fiber stringing ring, and a wire rope winch. The drilling rig pulley group is used to connect and position the galvanized grouting pipe in the annular hole pouring component. The optical fiber lowering and installation sky pulley group is fixed on the drilling rig tower, and the number matches the number of monitoring optical fibers. The optical fiber lowering and installation ground pulley group is fixed on the flat ground. The optical fiber stringing ring suspends the whole bundle of optical fibers to prevent damage to the optical fibers caused by ground dragging and abrasion during the lowering process. The wire rope winch is used to control the lifting and lowering of the wire rope to ensure the smooth lifting and lowering of the weight guide head.
[0007] Equipped with a directional guide head, it is cast from solid weighted lead-zinc material, and the shortest length of the directional guide head is not less than Where η is the stiffness reduction factor (it is recommended to be 0.3 to 0.6, and the larger value is used for tight structures), E is the elastic modulus of the wire rope, and I is the cross-sectional inertia moment of the wire rope. D is the diameter of the wire rope, ρ is the linear density of the lead-zinc guide head, and g is the acceleration of gravity. The top of the directional guide head is connected by a connecting steel pipe to the galvanized grouting pipe of the ring hole casting assembly. The directional guide head assembly includes a connecting steel pipe, a cylindrical body (three parts, upper, middle and lower, and the diameter of the cylindrical body increases successively), and a lower conical head. The bottom of the connecting steel pipe is connected to the upper cylindrical body with a reverse thread, and the upper part of the steel pipe is a positive thread, which is connected to the galvanized grouting pipe. A wire rope clamping hole is drilled in the middle of the upper cylindrical body, and a vertical clamping groove is engraved on the surface of the middle cylindrical body (the number of clamping grooves matches the number of sensing optical fibers, and no more than 3 groups) for placing optical fibers and ensuring that they are flat and vertical. The vertical clamping grooves are provided with equidistant annular tightening grooves and buckles outside the vertical clamping grooves for fixing the optical fibers. A fiber guide hole is provided at the bottom of the middle cylindrical body. The guide hole is connected to the symmetrical vertical clamping grooves for the optical fiber to pass through the guide hole to form a loop. The equipped guiding head drives the steel wire rope to break the rock in the drill hole of the mined rock mass, ensuring the smooth lowering of the optical fiber.
[0008] Optical fiber bundling components, including steel wire rope, armored optical fiber, high-strength clips, high-strength clips are set at equal intervals, and ensure that the optical fiber is straight and securely bundled.
[0009] The ring hole casting assembly includes a galvanized grouting pipe, a positive wire pipe clamp, a ground mixer and a ground high-pressure grouting pump. The galvanized grouting pipe is reversely connected to the upper cylindrical body of the matching guide head, and the galvanized grouting pipe is connected to the pipe clamp in a forward rotation. The optical fiber binding assembly is inserted into the grouting pipe and lowered synchronously. After lowering to the bottom of the hole section by section, the mixer and the high-pressure grouting pump inject the special sealing slurry into the galvanized pipe, rotate in the reverse direction, and the galvanized grouting pipe is automatically released. It is gradually lifted by using the ground power to realize upward grouting.
[0010] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:
[0011] When the present invention is working, firstly, according to the monitoring purpose and task, the number of optical fiber sky (ground) pulley blocks, the number of armored optical fibers, the number of optical fiber guide holes and vertical slots of the directional guide are determined, and a suitable directional guide is selected;
[0012] Install drilling rig tower, drilling rig pulley block, optical fiber installation top pulley, optical fiber installation ground pulley, optical fiber stringing ring, wire rope winch and other positioning components;
[0013] The directional guide is connected to the binding assembly: the steel wire rope is passed through the steel wire rope clamp hole and knotted, and the optical fiber is passed through the optical fiber guide hole. For the optical fibers with different parameters that need to be spliced, they are spliced into loops and then passed through the guide hole, and are installed in the vertical clamping slots of the middle column in sequence. The optical fiber ring is used to tightly bind the optical fibers in the vertical clamping slots of the middle column securely;
[0014] The optical fiber binding assembly is connected to the installation and positioning assembly: Pass the wire rope and the optical fiber through the installation sky pulley and the installation ground pulley respectively, and connect them with the drilling rig tower, the optical fiber stringing ring, and the wire rope hoist; Place the weight orientation guide head into the hole, and gradually put the wire rope and the optical fiber into the hole by using the installation and positioning assembly. Use high-strength buckle assemblies to tie them firmly at intervals of 1 m; Use the drilling rig pulley group in the installation and positioning assembly to connect the galvanized grouting pipe with the reverse thread joint at the top of the orientation guide head, and place the optical fiber inside the grouting pipe; Gradually lower the galvanized grouting pipes connected by positive thread pipe collars, and simultaneously lower the wire rope and the optical fiber until the bottom of the hole; Let the optical fiber stand for 24 hours. Check and calibrate the depth of the monitoring hole and the depth of the fiber placement by using the wire rope and the optical fiber depth scale, and conduct path and data acquisition detection on the optical fiber to ensure the integrity of the optical fiber loop and the normal monitoring data; Use the power provided by the installation and positioning assembly to rotate in the reverse direction to disconnect the lowermost galvanized grouting pipe from the reverse thread joint at the top of the orientation guide head, and gradually lift and disassemble the galvanized grouting pipe; Prepare special pouring slurry by using the ground mixer, and pump the slurry to the bottom of the hole through the ground high-pressure grouting pump to return the slurry, and gradually pour the slurry to the orifice as the galvanized grouting pipe is lifted; Let the slurry injected into the hole stand for 36 hours. During this period, continuously compact the slurry in the hole through the grouting pump until the slurry in the drilling hole is tightly coupled with the optical fiber and the mined strata; Connect the optical fiber with the modulation and demodulation instrument and the wireless signal transmission system, send it to the data analysis and processing server, and realize dynamic real-time monitoring at the terminal.
[0015] The present invention overcomes the problems faced in the on-site installation and lowering of the optical fiber for deep mined rock mass monitoring, such as being easily broken, the optical fiber being twisted and not vertical, and the poor coupling between the hole-sealing slurry and the optical fiber. It provides a practical solution for the installation and lowering of the optical fiber for multi-parameter monitoring of deep mined rock mass, improves the survival rate of the optical fiber and the monitoring accuracy, and expands the application scope of the optical fiber intelligent sensing technology in the multi-parameter monitoring of deep mined rock mass.
