TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of digital technology and polar scientific research engineering, and particularly relates to a method for detecting Antarctic ice layer gas and microorganisms based on hot melt drilling digital twinning. BACKGROUND
[0002] The deep Antarctic ice layer contains a large number of gas samples and rich microbial communities. The bubbles in the ice core perfectly preserve various components in the ancient atmosphere, and by analyzing the bubble samples, the ancient climate fluctuation law can be traced, and the types of ancient microbial communities under the ice layer can be inferred according to the content and concentration of different gases in the bubble samples.
[0003] The traditional mining and testing technology is based on ice core drilling technology, that is, the ice layer is drilled by using mechanical rotary drilling technology. After the bubbles in the ice core are collected, the bubbles are physically broken in a laboratory environment to release the gas, and the corresponding gas components are directly measured by using isotope analysis method. This method relies on manual experience judgment and is prone to repeated operation due to ice layer mutation. Meanwhile, the isolation of snow layer and the installation of casing require very fine operation, otherwise the external environment will be disturbed or the gas in the sample will be leaked.
[0004] The emergence of hot melt drill bit greatly reduces the above problems. In some scenarios, the ice layer is softened by using electric heating or steam, thereby improving the drilling efficiency, reducing the impact on the environment, and reducing the consumption of mining cost. However, during the working process of the drill bit, the conduction efficiency of the hot melt equipment is easily reduced due to the influence of the extremely low temperature in the Antarctic, and the low-temperature embrittlement of the metal parts is accelerated, thereby increasing the risk of mechanical failure. The sensor is also prone to internal circuit fracture due to thermal expansion and cold contraction fatigue caused by frequent cold and hot alternation, thereby causing unstable voltage at both ends of the sensor or damage to the sensor during detection, and affecting the accuracy of gas data collection during detection. Therefore, a method for real-time detection of the running state of each equipment part is needed to ensure that the risk of machine failure can be sensed in time, and the risk prevention and control can be prepared in advance to improve the reliability and precision of gas and microorganism detection.
[0005] The core of digital twinning technology is to integrate a physical model, acquire environmental information and part running information through a sensor, and realize real-time synchronous digital mapping technology in a virtual space with a physical entity. The various parameters of the drill bit are collected in real time by using various sensors at the end of the hot melt drill bit, the whole process information is presented on the remote console after transmission via an information channel, abnormality detection algorithm and intelligent decision and early warning processing, the whole collection and testing process is realized full-range and intelligent supervision and early warning, and the detection precision of the Antarctic deep ice layer gas and the key data such as the gene of the subsequent analysis of ancient microorganisms have higher precision and reliability.
