Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This invention relates to geological assurance in coal mines, and more particularly to the construction of a transparent geological and multi-source geological assurance system platform for mines. Background technology:
[0002] Coal is the most economical and reliable primary energy resource in my country, and intelligent coal mining is the core technological support for achieving high-quality development of the coal industry. With the accelerating advancement of intelligent coal mining, intelligent transparent mining technology has become a pressing technical challenge in the construction of intelligent coal mines. Compared to digital mines and integrated mine automation systems, intelligent mines place higher demands on the basic platform. Intelligent and precise mining relies on real-time and accurate geological data support, as well as a reliable and rapid recovery analysis system. Embedding real-time updates of transparent mine geology into an intelligent mining platform presents significant challenges. First, the fusion of diverse geological data and the generation of high-precision geological models face numerous problems. For example, data coupling and error correction from drilling, 3D seismic data, underground geophysical exploration, hydrological exploration, and two-way roadway information severely restrict the accuracy of the geological model. Developing effective coupling algorithms is necessary, which relies on professional geological, geophysical, and hydrological engineers. Intelligent and precise geological support systems need to combine geological models with real-time visualized production data, preventing potential geological disasters while also considering real-time coal mining trends.
[0003] To improve the utilization rate of mine exploration and geological data, simplify data analysis processes, visualize geological coupling models, and construct a geological support system platform based on multi-source data fusion, this is an effective way to achieve the goal. Integrating mine water control and gas dynamics data to establish a comprehensive geological database, combined with 5G transmission and dynamically updated visualization technology, is a key measure for intelligent mine construction. Secondly, coupling the geological model to the longwall face is an important foundation for achieving intelligent mining and also an effective way to improve geological data. Therefore, the mine geological support platform is the foundation of intelligent mine construction and a direct and visible result of transparent mining.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention designs a multi-source data geological support system for mines. This method, based on 3D seismic data and geostatistical inversion, constructs a coal-bearing stratigraphic framework, uses borehole data to constrain stratigraphic positions, and optimizes the spatial correction model of mining exposure and planar geophysical data. Combined with multi-scale analysis of hydrogeological, gas, and other data, a refined geological model is constructed. Structured and unstructured spatiotemporal data undergo unified formatting, consistency, and spatialization processing. The stored vector data, geophysical data, and geological data are rapidly and timely integrated after updates, and the integrated results are used to update the corresponding data range, automatically transforming the original content into historical data. For data with spatial coordinates, direct coordinate matching is used; for data without spatial coordinates, geological information is extracted based on identification. Combined with 5G transmission, the geological support system is ultimately constructed.
[0005] A 3D geological model constructed based on multi-source data is updated and adjusted in real time using updated geological data and information to reflect the latest state and changing trends of the geological body. Based on computer technology and graphics methods, 3D geological modeling software and related algorithms are used to achieve dynamic updates of the geological model. First, various geological exploration and monitoring technologies are used to acquire real-time updated geological data and information from roadways, face cuts, and coal mining machines, which are then preprocessed and quality controlled. Model update algorithms, such as model repair, model fusion, and model evolution algorithms, are used to update and adjust the original 3D geological model based on the acquired real-time data and information, using relevant algorithms and model update rules. 3D visualization technologies, such as 3D graphics rendering, are used to visualize the updated geological model to better understand the latest state and changing trends of the geological body. Finally, a dynamic update process is established for the actual working face conditions to ensure timely and accurate model updates. This process includes data acquisition, data processing, model updating, and model verification, and can be combined with automation and artificial intelligence technologies to improve the accuracy and efficiency of updates. Summary of the Invention:
[0006] In view of the above problems, this invention proposes a multi-source data geological support system for mines, applicable to various uses such as transparent geology and intelligent construction in coal mines. The technical solution of this invention is as follows:
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-source data geological support system for mines. This system mainly covers modules such as data access, infrastructure, storage layer, basic platform and services, high-performance 3D visualization and digital twin rendering engine, intelligent algorithm, interface layer, application layer, and access layer.
[0008] The data access refers to the collection of multi-source data, including seismic monitoring, drilling, geophysical exploration, surveying, hydrology, gas, etc., to collect multi-source spatial data and multi-source business data of coal mines in preparation for use by upper-level applications.
[0009] The infrastructure layer consists of registration and discovery, centralized configuration, authentication and authorization, log management, monitoring and alerting, caching services, message queues, container management, etc.
[0010] The storage layer, located above the infrastructure, is responsible for the platform's basic storage management. It consists of a message bus, file storage, cache, and databases, and the platform supports mainstream databases such as Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. The service layer is the core layer of the platform, supporting communication methods such as REST, PRC, and MQ to facilitate integration and interaction between programs.
[0011] The aforementioned basic platform and services refer to general functions such as service configuration, registration and discovery, and log management. Services are further divided into basic services, business services, and component services. Business services are business application module development built upon the basic services. Basic services include fundamental functional modules such as user management, application management, organization management, permission management, process modeling, transaction modeling, approval work orders, form design, development components, statistical mining, and resource management.

[0026] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the geological support system. Detailed implementation method:
[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] This invention proposes a multi-source data geological support system for mines, which can be applied to mine geological support, multi-source measurement data management and analysis, three-dimensional local or overall visualization, and mine hierarchical management.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 This paper illustrates the establishment of an initial geological model framework based on three-dimensional seismic data and the Markov chain-Monte Carlo algorithm (MCMC) for geostatistical inversion according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes:
[0030] Step 101: Data Processing and Analysis. This step mainly involves organizing and summarizing data from 3D seismic, drilling, well logging, tunnel exposure, well seismic calibration, well logging data processing, rock physics analysis, and multi-source data quality control analysis. It provides preliminary target coal seam roof and floor strata for constructing an initial geological framework to constrain subsequent geostatistical inversion. Strata interpretation is performed based on 3D seismic and well logging data, combined with mining information. Subsequent geostatistical inversion parameters are provided. Well logging data is standardized and optimized to meet geological laws. Gaussian functions are used to fit P-wave impedance and lithology curves, obtaining geostatistical information representing the spatial distribution of lithology and impedance information of the strata.
[0031] Step 102: Establish a geological framework. Based on the interpreted stratigraphic positions of the coal seam top and bottom interfaces, construct an initial geological framework as the initial geostatistical model framework. If there is known real data on the coal seam top and bottom plates (real data from exposure and drilling), a correction algorithm (such as radial basis interpolation) can be used to preliminarily correct the seismically interpreted coal seam top and bottom plate stratigraphic positions, thereby improving the constraint capacity and inversion accuracy of the geological framework.
[0032] Step 103: High-resolution geostatistical inversion, i.e., construction of high-precision three-dimensional geological model data volume.
[0033] Based on the geostatistical inversion principle under Bayesian discriminant and Markov chain-Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, the lithology and P-wave impedance information of well logging (i.e., the statistically fitted lithology and P-wave impedance probability density functions) are used as soft constraints, while the geological framework and 3D seismic data are used as hard constraints. This fully leverages the advantages of high lateral resolution seismic data and high vertical resolution well logging data to obtain a high-resolution 3D geological model data volume that can characterize the lithology, thickness, depth, and distribution of coal-bearing strata.
[0034] Step 104: Dynamically update the 3D geological model data volume, track and acquire measured data of coal seam interface information at different mining stages (which can be obtained from multiple sources such as mine sketches and underground geophysical exploration), use interpolation algorithms such as radial basis interpolation to dynamically correct the geological grid, and perform geostatistical inversion again based on the updated geological grid to obtain a new 3D geological model data volume. In this way, through feedback from multiple measured data and multiple rounds of inversion, the dynamic correction and updating of the 3D geological model data volume is achieved, continuously improving the 3D geological model data volume, reducing the error of the 3D seismic data itself, and improving the accuracy of the geological model.
[0035] Step 105: Structural Information Fusion. This step can be performed before seismic inversion. Based on the actual needs of the coal mine, a combined approach of seismic profile interpretation and 3D seismic multi-attribute interpretation is adopted. For large faults (elevation ≥ 5m), information can be directly obtained through seismic profile interpretation. For small faults that cannot be interpreted through seismic profiles, 3D seismic multi-attribute analysis is used to mine subtle changes in seismic data and fault response characteristics, achieving a refined interpretation of small faults. Finally, the fault structural information is integrated into the constructed geological model data volume to constrain the stratigraphic structure at fault locations, enriching the information in the 3D geological model data volume and further ensuring mining safety.
[0036] Step 106: Spatial Coordinate Coupling and Correction of Multi-Source Mine Data. This step establishes a unified data format and assigns new spatial coordinates (x, y, z) and spatiotemporal coordinates (x, y, z, t) to the planar data from underground geophysical exploration, point data from boreholes, spatial data exposed in the two roadways, hydrogeological data, and gas dynamic data under the unified coordinate format. Combined with intelligent algorithms, secondary interpretation and correction are performed on various types of measurement data, and anomalies in geological, hydrological, and gas anomalies are re-corrected and coupled.
[0037] Step 107: Generation of a detailed geological model of the secondary coal seam. Based on the initial geological model framework described above, and the results of multi-source data coupling and correction, this step uses borehole, two-way roadway, and mining data, along with stratigraphic constraints, to generate a detailed geological model of the secondary coal seam, precisely depicting the structural features within the coal seam. This model is then combined with mine hydrogeological exploration and gas dynamic analysis to predict potential risk zones in the mine.
[0038] Specifically, Figure 2 This invention illustrates the dynamic updating and adjustment process of the geological model. Based on real-time measurement and production data, the model is continuously updated, achieving an organic integration of dynamic model adjustment and data. The data update module mainly includes API interfaces, CAD interaction, manual data entry, and manual upload via Excel, providing a popular data upload and management approach that reduces reliance on specialized technical personnel and simplifies the workflow. In particular, the internally editable workflow can adapt to data input and updates in various scenarios.
[0039] Specifically, Figure 3 The geological support platform construction process of the present invention is illustrated, which includes data access, infrastructure, storage layer, basic platform and services, high-performance 3D visualization and digital twin, intelligent algorithm, interface layer, application layer and access layer.

All equivalent, modified or improved versions made without departing from the spirit disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
