Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mine roadway surveying, in particular to a method for calibrating a center line at a cross of a mine roadway based on trigonometric functions without setting up a total station. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mining refers to the process of extracting valuable minerals or geological materials from the earth's crust, which is the core link of mineral resources development and utilization. Underground roadway construction is a key link in mine engineering, involving systematic operations such as excavation, support, and supporting engineering construction. In the process of mining, the construction of underground roadways requires accurate center line calibration to ensure that the roadway is excavated according to the designed direction. Traditional center line calibration methods include: 1. Total station intersection method: requires setting up instruments at the intersection point, but when there are no conditions for setting up at the intersection point due to narrow space, broken roof, and obstacles, the method cannot be operated; 2. Laser pointing instrument: requires pre-calibration of the center line point, which cannot be calibrated when excavating at the intersection point; 3. Visual aiming method and hanging compass method: rely on manual light alignment, with low precision.

[0003] These traditional methods have a complicated implementation process, low efficiency, and are prone to large errors. They generally have the defects of insufficient precision, complex operation, and high technical requirements for measurement personnel, which cannot meet the needs of efficient and accurate construction in mines. The following shortcomings exist: 1. The center line cannot be calibrated when the measurement instrument cannot be set up at the intersection point; 2. Manual methods have large errors and cannot guarantee precision; 3. Traditional geometric methods require known intersection point coordinates, and cannot calculate the calibrated center line if the coordinates are unknown; 4. There is a high risk of safety hazards, and sometimes the underground pipelines and equipment need to be removed or moved to meet the instrument setup conditions, increasing the risk of construction safety; in addition, personnel frequently climb high places during instrument setup, which poses a risk of falling.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a method for calibrating the center line of a roadway excavation by using trigonometric functions and the sine law when a total station cannot be set up at the intersection point and the intersection point coordinates are unknown, to solve the problems in the background art. SUMMARY

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention aims to provide a method for centerline calibration based on trigonometric functions at the intersection of underground roadways without the use of a total station, comprising the following steps: S1. Select known coordinate control points with good visibility at the intersection of the tunnels. and And select temporary points with good visibility. ; S2, at the control point Set up the total station and measure to the temporary point. distance and horizontal angle ; S3, at the control point Set up the total station and measure to the temporary point. distance and horizontal angle ; S4, Calculation : ; S5.

At the same time, the azimuth angle of the line connecting the control points was obtained by measuring with a total station. The design centerline azimuth α refers to the clockwise horizontal angle between the design centerline direction of the tunnel and the standard north direction, representing the extension direction of the tunnel design; Azimuth of the control point connection line This refers to the clockwise horizontal angle between the direction of the line connecting control point A and control point B and the standard north direction. It is used to determine the direction of the line connecting control points A and B with known coordinates, based on the theoretical design centerline azimuth angle. Azimuth angle of the line connecting the control points Calculate control points Place Angle with the theoretical design centerline and control points Place Angle with the theoretical design centerline ; S7.

Repeat steps S2 to S9 for calibration. , Point, connection - - This forms the final design centerline.

[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, in step S6... and The calculation includes roadway slope correction operations, specifically: When the tunnel has an inclination angle hour, And correct them simultaneously. Substitute the value into step S7 for calculation.

[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the application of the sine theorem in step S8 must satisfy the condition for the triangle to hold: .

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, step S9 involves marking the location. The three-dimensional coordinates are transformed using the following formula: ; ; .

[0010] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the control point in step S1 and The selection must meet the following requirements: .

[0014] in, , For the first Ranging values ​​at various frequencies, The standard deviation of the ranging values ​​corresponding to the frequency. This indicates that at least three different frequencies are used.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention overcomes the limitations of complex underground environments by setting up indirect measurement and trigonometric function calculation processes. Addressing the rigid requirement of traditional methods to set up instruments at intersections, this invention employs an indirect measurement mode. By selecting control points in stable areas of the roadway sidewalls and constructing a spatial triangulation network using temporary observation points, key parameters are calculated using the sine and cosine theorems. This completely eliminates the dependence on intersection setup conditions, allowing surveyors to complete centerline calibration without entering areas with fractured roofs, narrow passages, or dense pipelines. This solves the major technical problem of uncontrolled roadway excavation due to environmental limitations, providing a fundamental guarantee for efficient mine construction.

[0016] 2. In this invention, a high-precision calibration effect is achieved by setting up a dynamic azimuth correction and three-dimensional coordinate transformation mechanism. Traditional manual visual inspection methods have certain directional deviations, leading to offset of the roadway end. This invention uses a dual-control-point azimuth linkage correction technology to calculate the azimuth in real time based on the design centerline azimuth. , The angle is calculated, and a dynamic compensation algorithm for the roadway inclination angle is introduced. Through the conversion of horizontal projection distance and elevation correction formula, the measurement data is converted into three-dimensional spatial coordinates, eliminating systematic errors caused by slope, thereby improving calibration accuracy. Especially in the case of steep roadways, it can still maintain the relative accuracy threshold and meet the highest requirements of high-precision construction specifications in mines.

[0017] 3. This invention achieves a safe, efficient, and collaboratively optimized effect by setting up a fully automated operation system. Traditional methods suffer from two major drawbacks due to the need for instrument setup: firstly, the risk of falls due to personnel climbing broken roofs; and secondly, the increased probability of secondary accidents due to equipment dismantling. This invention, by setting up a mode from ground operation to remote calibration, allows surveyors to work entirely in a stable area and remotely calibrate the centerline point using a total station, completely avoiding the risks of working at heights. It also shortens the calibration time for single points, improves efficiency, and eliminates downtime losses caused by equipment dismantling. This achieves a dual breakthrough of zero measurement accident rate and zero construction delay, constructing a three-in-one protection system for personnel safety, equipment safety, and construction safety.
