Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of open-pit iron ore mining technology, and particularly relates to an exploration method for deep water-filled goaf areas in open-pit iron ore mines based on transient electromagnetic methods. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of large-scale machinery and equipment, my country has established many large iron ore mines using open-pit mining techniques. Before the adoption of large-scale open-pit mining, due to the limitations of large machinery and equipment, many small iron ore mines used underground mining techniques, excavating from the surface along the ore into deeper strata. After the ore was extracted, columnar or olive-shaped goafs with large depths and small cross-sectional dimensions were formed. Due to the depletion of shallow resources in small iron ore mines, or after prolonged periods of consolidation and closure, some goafs may contain water accumulation. Furthermore, the lack of design and blueprints in small iron ore mines means that the location of these water-filled goafs is often unknown. These unidentified water-filled goafs may cause machinery to fall, and even personnel to fall. Water inrush accidents in goafs can damage equipment in the working face, causing economic losses and casualties. To reduce losses caused by unidentified water-filled goafs during open-pit iron ore mining, the location of these goafs should be determined before accidents occur, and reasonable prevention and control measures should be taken.
[0003] There are various exploration methods for water-filled goaf areas. Transient electromagnetic methods (TEMs) are widely used due to their advantages of being less affected by terrain and having high construction efficiency. However, TEMs have significant problems for exploring deep water-filled goaf areas in open-pit iron mines. For example… Figure 1 As shown, the transient electromagnetic method induces eddy currents in the formation by passing a pulsed current through the transmitting frame. During the propagation of the induced eddy currents into the deeper layers of the formation, the propagation speed of the induced eddy currents in the waterlogged goaf is relatively slow, and the induced eddy currents decay continuously over time. As a result, before the induced eddy currents have propagated to the deepest part of the deep waterlogged goaf, the electromagnetic induction signal generated by the induced eddy currents is buried in electromagnetic noise and is difficult to collect by the signal acquisition probe. This makes it difficult to effectively identify the middle and lower parts of the deep waterlogged goaf in open-pit iron mines, resulting in blind spots in exploration, which can easily lead to accidents and pose a great safety hazard. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an exploration method for deep water-filled goaf areas in open-pit iron mines based on transient electromagnetic methods. This method solves the problem that traditional exploration methods are difficult to collect data through signal acquisition probes, resulting in the difficulty in effectively identifying the middle and lower parts of deep water-filled goaf areas in open-pit iron mines and creating blind spots in the exploration.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

Keeping the transmitting current I and the transmitting frequency f unchanged, move the small transmitting frame and the signal acquisition probe down platform by platform and collect the induced voltage signal. Compare the maximum voltage value and the collection time corresponding to the maximum value to determine the bottom position of the waterlogged goaf area.

[0027] E nH =ΣD i '·E i ' / ΣD i '(7)
[0028]
[0029] T n =(1 / f)>t n =t 1n +t 2n (10)
[0030] In formula (7), E nH The weighted average conductivity of the strata between the platform where the small transmitting frame is located and the platform where the signal acquisition probe is located in step three is expressed in S / m, E. i ' is the conductivity of the i-th stratum below the platform where the transmitting wire frame is located in step three, in units of S / m, D i ' represents the thickness of the i-th stratum below the platform where the transmitting wireframe is located in step three, in meters, ΣD i =nH; In formulas (7)-(9), H is the height of the open-pit iron mine platform in meters, nH < 100m, and n indicates that the signal acquisition probe is located on the nth platform below the platform where the small transmitting frame is located in step three; In formulas (8)-(10), t n , t 1n , t 2n All times are seconds (s).

It is assumed that the top of the waterlogged mining area is located below the horizontal plane of the Nth platform below the platform where the transmitting frame is located, and above the horizontal plane of the (N+1)th platform below the platform where the transmitting frame is located.

[0045] (2) With the change of the position of the transmitting frame and the signal acquisition probe, combined with timely adjustment of the transmitting current and transmitting frequency, more exploration data is obtained while the data quality is improved; and the high-quality exploration data controls the influence of other variables besides geological information on the exploration data to the greatest extent, so that the exploration data can fully reflect the changes in geological information.
[0046] (3) Based on a large amount of high-quality exploration data, by comparing the maximum voltage values collected on different platforms and the time corresponding to the maximum values, the extent of the open-pit iron mine waterlogged goaf area is jointly determined. This adds a basis for determining the waterlogged goaf area in addition to the induced voltage signal itself, greatly improving the exploration accuracy of the open-pit iron mine waterlogged goaf area, realizing the effective identification of different platforms, eliminating blind spots in exploration, and avoiding safety hazards.
