TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of mine safety and geophysical exploration, and particularly relates to a coal fire zone fissure active enhancement exploration test system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Underground coal fire is a major global geological disaster. Due to the complex geological conditions, large burning area, long development time, strong concealment of burning state, and complex air supply channel of underground coal fire, it leads to many new fire zones, rapid development of fire zones, slow extinguishing speed of fire zones, and easy rekindling of fire zones in the early stage of coal fire management. In the early stage of coal fire management, the heat released by the burning center of underground fire bakes the surrounding coal rock, and the coal smolders continuously produce high-temperature gas to circulate and leach the overlying coal rock, resulting in changes in the mechanical properties and pore fissures of the coal rock. In addition, a large number of burned-out areas are formed, which disrupt the original stress balance of the coal rock, thereby breeding new oxygen supply channels. Although the conventional five management technologies can extinguish the fire source, this hidden oxygen supply channel is the root cause of the rekindling and spread of the extinguished fire zone.
[0003] At present, geophysical exploration methods are widely used in the exploration of coal fire sources, providing important support for the delineation of coal fire management target areas, but the precise control of rekindling prevention in extinguished coal fire zones still faces severe challenges. The core bottleneck is the lack of effective exploration means for the spatial distribution, geometric shape, and connectivity of underground hidden fissure systems, which seriously restricts the precise implementation of sealing technology and causes hidden fissures to continue to supply oxygen to extinguished coal bodies, leading to uncontrolled rekindling of extinguished coal bodies and serious harm to the ecological environment and coal resource reserves.

[0101] The active enhancement mode injects an enhanced medium foam gel material for changing the geophysical response characteristics into the fracture, which includes the following components by total mass percentage: conductive material (0.5%-10%) can be selected from one or more of graphene, carbon black or carbon fiber mixture, which ensures that the material has excellent conductivity after solidification; magnetic particles (5%-30%) can be selected from one of four iron oxide, neodymium iron boron or carbonyl iron, which gives the material strong magnetic response characteristics; foaming agent (0.1%-5%) uses sodium dodecyl sulfate or fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate to foam by mechanical stirring; foam stabilizer selects guar gum or xanthan gum to prolong the half-life of the foam and avoid the decrease of material density caused by bubble rupture; the rest is water and water-soluble polymer dispersant, which can prevent the agglomeration of conductive material and magnetic particles and ensure the uniformity of material performance. The conductivity of the enhanced medium foam gel material is not less than 1 S / m and / or the saturation magnetization is not less than 10 emu / g after foaming and solidification for 2-8 h, which can significantly amplify the resistivity and magnetic signal response of the target body of the fracture, solving the problem of low signal-to-noise ratio in micro-fracture detection.
[0102] In addition, the fracture intervention module also includes a medium recovery and monitoring subsystem: through the bottom of the cabin equipped with a discharge outlet of the stop valve and filter to recover the unfilled medium, avoiding waste and pollution; at the same time, a pressure sensor and a flow sensor are arranged in the injection pipeline to monitor the pressure fluctuation and flow change of the injection process in real time, to determine the migration state of the medium in the fracture, such as whether the blockage occurs or whether the fracture is full.
[0103] The intelligent feedback and data fusion module, as the central nervous system of the system, is connected with each module through an industrial bus and has the following core functions:
[0104] Multi-module collaborative control, 10-20 typical coal fire zone working condition parameters are preset, which can be directly called or customized parameters; through the PLC controller, control instructions are sent to each module to synchronously control the stress loading rate of the fracture evolution module, the heating temperature, the gas injection pressure, the sampling frequency of the fracture detection module, and the injection mode and injection amount of the fracture intervention module, and the response time of the control instruction is less than 100 ms, ensuring the timing synchronization of each module.
[0105] Adaptive intelligent feedback: based on the multi-physical field data such as resistivity, acoustic emission event number, acoustic wave velocity, and magnetic signal intensity, which are fed back by the fracture detection module in real time, through the built-in machine learning algorithm such as random forest and neural network, the model training sample size is greater than or equal to 1000 groups, the operating parameters are dynamically adjusted: if the fracture detection module monitors that the fracture propagation rate is less than 0.1 mm / h, the heating temperature or the gas injection pressure of the fracture evolution module is automatically increased to accelerate the fracture evolution; if the magnetic signal intensity is increased by less than 3 times after the fracture intervention module injects the enhanced medium, the proportion of magnetic particles in the base fluid is automatically increased (the increase range is 1%-5%) or the injection pressure is increased (the increase range is 0.5-1 MPa), to ensure the enhancement effect; the feedback adjustment period can be set to 1-10 minutes, to realize adaptive optimization of the test process and reduce manual intervention, so that the best experimental working condition can be obtained.
[0106] Data fusion and intelligent inversion: first, the multi-source data collected by the fracture detection module are preprocessed, the resistivity data are denoised, the acoustic emission data are event positioned and parameter extracted, and the acoustic wave data are velocity corrected; then, through the data fusion algorithm (such as D-S evidence theory and Kalman filter), the preprocessed resistivity, acoustic emission, acoustic wave, and magnetic signal data are fused to construct a multi-physical field coupled data set; based on the electrical resistivity tomography algorithm and the acoustic wave tomography algorithm, the three-dimensional spatial distribution, geometric morphology, and connectivity of the fracture inside the coal rock mass are inversed.
[0107] Four-dimensional visualization and digital twin, the integrated four-dimensional visualization unit, associates the multi-physical field data after fusion processing with the three-dimensional geometric model of the coal rock mass specimen (constructed according to a 1:1 scale), and dynamically displays the spatio-temporal evolution process of crack initiation (from micro-pore to micro-crack, pore size 1-100 μm), propagation (crack length from <10 mm to >100 mm), penetration (forming a connected network, with a connected path number ≥3), and fluid migration (medium migration speed in the crack 0.1-10 mm / min, filling range real-time display), with a time step that can be set to 1-60 s. At the same time, the digital twin of the test process is constructed, realizing real-time synchronization of physical testing and digital modeling: the physical field distribution (such as temperature field, stress field, medium concentration field) of any cross section inside the specimen can be viewed through the digital twin, and different working conditions can also be simulated by modifying the digital model parameters (such as increasing the number of cracks, adjusting the medium viscosity), predicting the physical test results, and guiding the optimization of the test scheme.
[0108] A coal fire zone crack active enhancement detection method based on the coal fire zone crack active enhancement test system described above, comprising the following steps:
[0109] (1) Specimen preparation and system initialization: prepare a cubic meter level coal rock mass specimen and place it in the cabin, and simultaneously arrange the integrated internal and external sensor array 2.
[0110] (2) Thermal-mechanical-gas coupled crack evolution: through the crack evolution module, coupled with the application of four-sided non-uniform stress, bottom gradient heating and programmed gas adsorption-desorption cycle, the complex environment of underground coal fire zone is simulated, and the crack network is actively induced.
[0111] (3) In-situ synchronous detection of multiple physical fields: During the entire evolution process, the crack detection module is used to collect real-time, synchronous full-field physical field data such as electricity, sound, heat, magnetism, and strain.
[0112] (4) Natural crack environment simulation and weakening evaluation: The crack intervention module is used to inject natural medium simulation materials into the crack to evaluate the weakening effect of complex filling environment on geophysical signals and establish a background-interference response model.
[0113] (5) Active enhancement detection: The crack intervention module is used to inject enhanced medium foam gel material into the crack.
[0114] (6) Enhanced signal comparison and intelligent inversion: The crack detection module is used again for detection, the intelligent feedback and data fusion module is used for comparative analysis of the data before and after enhancement, and the intelligent inversion algorithm is used to accurately quantify the geometric characteristics and spatial distribution of the crack.
[0115] (7) Four-dimensional dynamic visualization and verification: Through the intelligent feedback and data fusion module, the whole process dynamic model from crack initiation to accurate detection is displayed or reproduced in real time, forming a digital twin body synchronized with the physical test, which is used for result verification and mechanism analysis.
[0116] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment realizes:
[0117] (1) From blind to transparent observation: The observation of coal and rock mass cracks in the prior art is mostly surface monitoring or discrete point measurement, such as single-point acoustic emission, local resistivity testing, which cannot cover the whole life cycle of cracks. The embodiment realizes the in-situ, real-time, three-dimensional and dynamic CT observation of the whole life cycle of crack initiation (micro-pore expansion) - expansion - penetration (forming a connected network) - filling (medium migration) in large rock mass experiments through the built-in, multi-dimensional in-situ sensing network, especially the cooperation of pre-embedded resistivity-acoustic wave joint probe and distributed optical fiber, which provides continuous and refined data support for the crack channel evolution mechanism research in coal fire area which cannot be realized by the prior art.
[0118] (2) Create a new paradigm of active enhancement detection: Traditional geophysical detection relies on the differences in physical properties of coal and rock mass, such as natural resistivity, acoustic impedance, which is seriously weakened in complex coal fire area such as coal tar and smoke condensate, and the signal-to-noise ratio is generally less than 5:1, making it difficult to identify hidden cracks. The embodiment injects specially designed enhanced medium foam gel material into the cracks, converting passive reception of weak signals into active creation of strong anomalies, increasing the amplitude of resistivity signal by 5-100 times and the strength of magnetic signal by 5-50 times, which fundamentally solves the core bottleneck of low detection accuracy of hidden target bodies in complex background.
[0119] (3) Build an integrated research platform of multi-field coupling and multi-module cooperation: Existing coal fire simulation devices can only realize a single physical field, and the detection and intervention modules are independent of each other, requiring multiple devices to be used together, with poor test consistency. The embodiment integrates four-sided gradient stress loading, bottom-circumferential cooperative heating, gas programmed damage, multi-physical field synchronous detection, intelligent fluid injection and closed-loop control for the first time, which can complete the whole chain test of environment simulation - crack initiation - detection verification - intervention optimization in one system, avoiding the error accumulation of multiple device combination, greatly improving the test efficiency compared with the prior art, and can reproduce typical coal fire conditions of different mines, and the platform is significantly better than the existing single-function device in terms of universality.
[0120] (4) Realize the intelligent upgrade of adaptive control-four-dimensional visualization: The existing test device needs to be adjusted frequently by manual, and the data is presented in the form of table, which is difficult to intuitively correlate the fracture evolution process. Through the machine learning algorithm of intelligent feedback and data fusion module, the working condition parameters can be dynamically adjusted based on real-time detection data in this embodiment; at the same time, through four-dimensional digital twinning, the massive data is converted into a dynamic visualization model of fracture initiation and expansion, medium migration, and the temperature field and stress field distribution of any section can be directly observed, which builds a data-application transformation bridge from laboratory mechanism research to field engineering decision (such as optimization of sealing material dosage).
[0121] (5) Wide application value of cross-field expansion-high efficiency transformation: The system and method not only directly solve the problem of fracture detection and accurate sealing in coal fire area, but also have significant ecological benefits; in addition, multi-field coupling simulation, active enhancement detection and digital twinning can be directly expanded to the fields of oil and gas shale gas hydraulic fracturing monitoring, geothermal development reservoir evaluation, CO2 geological storage, radioactive waste disposal, etc., which has high popularization value and potential cross-industry social benefits.
[0122] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
