Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial frozen walls, and in particular to an intelligent feedback method for dynamic regulation of frozen soil circles. Background Art
[0002] Freeze-line construction involves drilling holes into an aquifer, inserting steel pipes, and circulating liquid nitrogen to freeze the surrounding ground, forming a hard frozen crust. This not only ensures ground stability but also acts as a water barrier, enabling deep excavation. Frozen wall intersection refers to the phenomenon during mine freezing construction where frozen columns in adjacent freezing holes gradually expand and connect to form a closed cylindrical frozen wall. This formation is determined by a seven-day rise in the water level or water bubbling in the hydrological observation hole. It is a prerequisite for safe trial excavation of the frozen shaft.
[0003] Existing permafrost monitoring mainly relies on temperature sensors (such as thermocouples) and manual inspections, which makes it difficult to quantify changes in the mechanical state of frozen soil in real time, resulting in delayed regulation. For example, traditional methods require more than 70% of the permafrost ring to be completed before significant temperature changes can be detected, delaying the optimal timing for regulation. Frost heave force has nonlinear mutations (such as a 90% increase in frost heave force when the ring is closed), and existing technologies cannot provide early warning. Regulation relies on empirical parameters (such as fixed refrigerant flow), and it is impossible to dynamically adjust refrigerant parameters according to the actual strength of the permafrost, which can easily lead to uneven freezing or energy waste. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide an intelligent feedback method for dynamic regulation of permafrost intersection, so as to solve the problem that the existing permafrost intersection monitoring mainly relies on temperature sensors and manual inspections, which makes it difficult to quantify the changes in the mechanical state of permafrost in real time, resulting in delayed regulation.

[0016] When E d ≥XE dmax When , it is determined that the frozen ground area is completely frozen and the freezing of the frozen ground area is stopped.
[0017] Furthermore, the elastic modulus E of the frozen soil area is calculated. d When using the following formula: E d =v2(1+u)(1-2u) / (1-u), where u is Poisson's ratio.
[0018] Furthermore, the value of X is 0.9-1.

[0023] When the ultrasonic sensor is used, the ultrasonic transmitter emits ultrasonic waves toward the frozen soil area, the ultrasonic waves propagate in the frozen soil area, and the ultrasonic receiver receives the ultrasonic waves, thereby obtaining waveform data of the ultrasonic waves propagating in the frozen soil area.
[0024] Furthermore, the distance between the transmitting hole and the receiving hole is 1.5m to 2m.
[0025] Furthermore, based on the collected waveform data, the propagation time t of the ultrasonic wave from the acoustic wave transmitter to the acoustic wave receiver is measured, and the propagation speed v of the ultrasonic wave in the permafrost area is calculated according to the propagation time t according to the following formula: v = L / t, where L is the distance between the acoustic wave transmitter and the acoustic wave receiver.
