Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of green mining, and in particular to a system for determining the flow state of filling slurry and measuring the pressure loss of pipeline transportation. Background Art

[0002] The backfill mining method can effectively manage underground goafs and improve ore recovery while reducing the accumulation of solid waste on the ground. It is an important means to achieve rich gold mining and green mining. However, since the filling slurry is transported from the surface to the goaf through pipelines, the flow state of the filling slurry in the pipeline and the pressure loss of the transportation are crucial to the safe and stable operation of the filling system. Since the filling slurry contains a large amount of solid particles, the accuracy of using the empirical Reynolds number (2300) of single-phase fluid to judge the flow state of the filling slurry is no longer able to meet engineering requirements. Therefore, measuring the flow state of the filling slurry in the pipeline, deriving the empirical Reynolds number for judging the flow state of the filling slurry, and accurately estimating the pressure loss of the filling slurry in the transportation pipeline are one of the main difficulties faced in the development of the backfill mining method. Based on this, it is particularly necessary to develop a system for determining the flow state of the filling slurry and measuring the pressure loss of the pipeline transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a system for determining the flow state of filling slurry and measuring the pressure loss of pipeline transportation. While judging the flow state of the filling slurry to obtain the slurry empirical Reynolds number, the system can also measure the pipeline transportation pressure loss of the filling slurry. The measurement results provide a test basis for the design of the filling pipe network and are easy to promote and use.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a filling slurry flow state determination and pipeline transportation pressure loss measurement system, including a stirring tank, a stirrer, a stabilizing tank, a signal enhancer adding device, a slurry circulation tank, a test pipeline section, a pressure measuring tube, a flow valve, a power pump and a signal transmitter and receiver, a stirrer is installed in the stirring tank, the stirring tank is connected to the stabilizing tank through a pipeline, a signal enhancer adding device is placed in the stabilizing tank, the bottom outlet of the stabilizing tank is connected to the slurry circulation tank, the side of the stabilizing tank is connected to the test pipeline section, which is connected to the slurry circulation tank through the test pipeline section, pressure measuring tubes are installed at both ends of the test pipeline section, and a flow valve for controlling the flow rate of the filling slurry is installed on the pipeline from the test pipeline section to the slurry circulation tank; the slurry circulation tank is connected to the stirring tank through a power pump, and the system also includes a signal transmitter and receiver that transmits signals and receives reflected signals from the test pipeline section.

[0005] Preferably, the signal enhancer in the signal enhancer adding device is preferably, but not limited to, nano-Fe3O4 solution.

[0006] Preferably, the test pipe section adopts a transparent organic glass tube with a diameter of 80-150 mm; the pressure measuring tubes at both ends of the test pipe section can be replaced with pressure sensors, and the delivery pressure at both ends of the test pipe section is measured by the pressure measuring tubes or pressure sensors.

[0007] Preferably, the power pump is a slurry pump, and the filling slurry is stored and reused through a slurry circulation pool and the slurry pump.

[0008] Preferably, the signal transmitter and receiver preferably adopt but are not limited to phased array radar; the signal transmitter and receiver and the signal enhancer in the signal enhancer adding device constitute a data analysis system, and the flow state inside the filling slurry is judged by the distribution of the strength of the signals received by the signal transmitter and receiver. The flow state determination of the filling slurry includes the following steps: when the filling slurry is in a stable state in the test pipe section after several cycles in the pipeline, the signal transmitter and receiver are turned on, and the return signal received by the signal transmitter and receiver at this time is used as the base signal; after determining the base signal, the signal enhancer adding device is turned on to allow the signal enhancer to enter the test pipe section along the central axis of the test pipe, and the return signal received by the signal transmitter and receiver after adding the signal enhancer is used as the test signal, and the strength distribution of the test signal and the base signal is compared: if the strong reflection signal is a horizontal straight line, the filling slurry is in a laminar state at this time; if the strong reflection signal is distributed throughout the rectified test pipe position, the filling slurry is in a turbulent state at this time.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: while judging the flow state of the filling slurry and obtaining the empirical Reno number of the slurry, the system can also accurately measure the pipeline transportation pressure loss of the filling slurry. The measurement results can provide an experimental basis for the design of the filling pipe network and the calculation of the flow state and transportation pressure loss of the filling slurry in the pipe network, meeting engineering needs and having broad application prospects.

The side of the ring pool 5 and the stabilizing pool 3 is connected to the test pipe section 6. The stabilizing pool 3 is used to maintain a constant flow rate of the filling slurry in the test pipe section 6. It is connected to the slurry circulation pool 5 through the test pipe section 6. Pressure measuring tubes 7 are installed at both ends of the test pipe section 6. A flow valve 8 for controlling the flow rate of the filling slurry is installed on the pipeline from the test pipe section 6 to the slurry circulation pool 5; the slurry circulation pool 5 is connected to the stirring pool 1 through a power pump 9. The system also includes a signal transmitter and receiver 10 that transmits signals and receives reflected signals from the test pipe section.

[0014] It is worth noting that the signal enhancer in the signal enhancer adding device 4 is preferably but not limited to nano Fe3O4 solution.

[0015] It is worth noting that the test pipe section 6 is made of a transparent organic glass tube with a diameter of 80-150 mm; the pressure measuring tubes 7 at both ends of the test pipe section 6 can be replaced with pressure sensors.

[0016] It is worth noting that the power pump 9 is a slurry pump, and the filling slurry is stored and reused through a slurry circulation system composed of a slurry circulation tank 5 and a slurry pump.

[0017] In addition, the signal transmitter and receiver 10 preferably adopts but is not limited to phased array radar.

[0018] In this specific embodiment, the size and height of the stirring tank 1 can be optimally designed according to needs, and the stirrer 2 in the stirring tank 1 can be a stirrer with a storage function; the stabilizing tank 3 can ensure that the flow rate in the test pipe section 6 is at a constant size when the flow valve 8 remains constant, and the lower outlet of the stabilizing tank 3 is connected to the slurry circulation tank 5 to reuse the slurry; the right side of the stabilizing tank 3 is connected to the test pipe section 6, and the delivery pressure at both ends of the test pipe section 6 is measured by a pressure measuring tube 7 or a pressure sensor; the flow rate of the slurry filled in the test pipe section 6 is adjusted and controlled by the flow valve 8 between the test pipe section 6 and the slurry circulation tank 5.

[0019] In this specific embodiment, the signal transmitter and receiver 10 and the signal enhancer in the signal enhancer adding device 4 constitute a data analysis system, which judges the flow state inside the filling slurry by the distribution of the strength of the signal received by the signal transmitter and receiver 10. The flow state determination of the filling slurry includes the following steps: when the filling slurry is in a stable state in the test pipe section 6 after several cycles in the pipeline, the signal transmitter and receiver 10 is turned on, and the return signal received by the signal transmitter and receiver 10 at this time is used as the base signal; after determining the base signal, the signal enhancer adding device 4 is turned on to allow the signal enhancer to enter the test pipe section 6 along the central axis of the test pipe, and the return signal received by the signal transmitter and receiver 10 after adding the signal enhancer is used as the test signal, and the strength distribution of the test signal and the base signal is compared: if the strong reflection signal is a horizontal straight line, the filling slurry is in a laminar state at this time; if the strong reflection signal covers the entire test pipe position, the filling slurry is in a turbulent state at this time.

The flow state of the filling slurry in the test section is judged by the reflection signal range of the signal enhancer in the test pipeline. ; The filling slurry flows through the test pipeline section 6 and then enters the slurry circulation tank 5. The flow rate of the filling slurry in the test pipeline section 6 is controlled by the flow valve 8 between the test pipeline section and the slurry circulation tank 5. The empirical Reynolds number of the filling slurry is determined by replacing the pipelines of different diameters in the test pipeline section, regulating the flow rate in the pipeline by the flow valve and replacing the filling slurry for the test. The conveying pressure loss of the filling slurry in the pipeline under different flow states is calculated by reading the reading of the pressure measuring tube 7; the filling slurry is sent to the stirring tank 1 through the power pump 9 in the slurry circulation tank 5, thereby forming a loop.
