Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for monitoring the compression of mine shafts, specifically a method for monitoring the compression of mine shafts based on GNSS and laser ranging, belonging to the field of mine safety technology. Background Technology

[0002] Mine shafts are the main entrances and exits from mines to the surface, serving as the vital arteries for hoisting and transporting coal (or gangue), personnel, materials, and equipment, as well as for ventilation and drainage during mine production. Mine shafts do not exist in isolation. When deep ore bodies are mined, the original stress balance of the overlying strata is disrupted, and stress is redistributed, causing movement and deformation of the rock mass from the goaf to the surface. As a "rigid" structure traversing the rock strata, the mine shaft will undergo vertical shortening (compression) and horizontal movement along with the surrounding rock layers.

[0003] Compression deformation of mine shafts, especially vertical shafts in deep overburden mining areas, not only reduces the cross-section of the shaft, affecting the normal operation of hoisting containers (such as cages and skips) and increasing the risk of accidents such as cage jamming and falling, but also causes the shaft wall to bear stress exceeding the design strength, leading to cracks, breakage, or even local collapse, seriously threatening the safety of underground personnel.

[0004] Understanding the overall compression of a vertical shaft is crucial for assessing its safety and developing preventative and mitigation measures for shaft wall rupture. However, current research and monitoring of shaft compression deformation, aside from reports of measured strain data in specific areas of the shaft's inner wall, lacks reports of real-time, millimeter-level separation measurements of the overall shaft compression. Existing shaft deformation monitoring methods primarily rely on strain gauges or distributed fiber optic strain monitoring systems embedded within the shaft wall to acquire strain in specific areas. These methods fail to decouple the coupling deformation between the shaft settling and shaft compression, hindering continuous measurement of the dynamic displacement of the shaft top. Furthermore, the overall shaft compression is difficult to obtain directly, failing to meet the precision requirements for continuous monitoring of vertical shaft compression and thus hindering quantitative early warning and precise mitigation of shaft rupture risks.

[0049] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the calculation principle of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0050] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0051] This method for monitoring mine shaft compression based on GNSS and laser ranging specifically includes the following steps:

[0052] Step 1: Install at the wellhead Each reflective target, in the corresponding Each of the reflective targets is positioned directly above a position where... The monitoring equipment includes a laser rangefinder, a dual-axis inclinometer, and a GNSS receiver. When deploying the reflective target and the laser rangefinder, it is necessary to ensure that the target surface and the laser lens are dust-free and dry, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the reflective target is stably anchored and strictly level.

[0053] Step 2, to achieve millimeter-level data accuracy, RTK technology (Real-time kinematic, real-time dynamic differential positioning technology) and data processing methods are used for data acquisition and processing. Details are as follows:

Speed ​​of light, in m / s; Receiver clock bias, in seconds; Satellite clock bias, in seconds; Ionospheric delay, in meters (m). Tropospheric delay, in meters (m); This is the measurement noise term introduced in pseudorange observations, representing the sum of all errors not directly reflected in the pseudorange phase observation equations.

The formula for the total tilt angle is expressed as follows:

[0075]

[0076] In the formula: For the current number of The total spatial tilt angle of the derrick is calculated from the tilt angle data monitored by each monitoring device.

[0077] Step 6: First, correct the laser projection distance according to the correction formula to obtain the actual vertical displacement. The correction formula is expressed as follows:

Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, reflective targets are positioned at the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) along the outer edge of the wellhead. Correspondingly, to ensure the laser path of the laser rangefinder is vertical and unobstructed, a monitoring device is installed at each of the four cardinal directions on the top of the derrick. Each monitoring device includes a dual-axis inclinometer, a GNSS receiver, and a laser rangefinder. The dual-axis inclinometer used in this embodiment is an RS485 industrial dual-axis inclinometer. The laser rangefinder in this embodiment uses a TLS-80C high-precision laser ranging displacement sensor with a range of up to 80 meters.

[0100] The displacement measured by the GNSS receiver is:

[0101]

[0102] The wellbore compression measured by the monitoring equipment is:

[0103]
