[0002] Blockage in filling pipelines is a bottleneck restricting the efficiency of solid waste disposal in mines. The resulting slurry flow turbulence and pressure imbalance seriously threaten the safe operation of the filling system. Existing laboratory monitoring methods for filling slurry pipeline transportation mostly rely on discrete sensors to construct the test system and static threshold-triggered alarm devices. This results in inaccurate prediction of blockage location and insufficient detection and early warning timeliness when extrapolating test results to engineering practice.

[0003] Currently, there are two major problems with laboratory filling pipe blockage control technology: First, the sensor network topology is discretized, and the acoustic signal acquisition only covers a limited number of monitoring points, making it impossible to construct the frequency-division energy distribution across the entire filling pipe, resulting in insufficient accuracy in tracing abnormal signals; Second, the test devices mostly use independent parameter control, and acoustic, mechanical, and rheological data lack fusion analysis, making it difficult to determine the blockage point of the filling pipe through multi-parameter correlation inversion, resulting in insufficient accuracy in locating the blockage point and inaccurate prediction.

The output end of the hopper is connected to the input end of the filling pump, and the output end of the filling pump is connected to the circulating filling pipeline.

[0100] The filling slurry is placed in the hopper according to the specified ratio; after the filling raw material is stirred in the mixing system, it is placed in the heavy hopper; then it is circulated in the pipeline by the filling pump and the simulated pipe blockage module to carry out pipe blockage simulation test.

[0101] The fiber optic acoustic monitoring device is used to detect the acoustic wave signal generated by the vibration of the simulated pipe block and input the acoustic wave signal into the data processing module.

[0102] The pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure signal in the circulating filling pipe and input the pressure signal into the data processing module;

[0103] The data processing module is used for:

[0104] Receive sound wave signals and extract frequency-division energy data and sound pressure data from the sound wave signals;

[0105] The deformation amount at the corresponding position of the cyclic filling pipe is determined based on the sound pressure data;

[0106] Receive pressure signals and determine the slurry flow rate at the corresponding position in the circulating filling pipeline based on the pressure signals;

[0107] The actual location of the simulated blockage is determined based on the frequency division energy data, deformation, and slurry flow rate.

[0108] Furthermore, the fiber optic acoustic monitoring device includes an optical pulse generation module, an optical quantity detection module, a single-mode armored optical cable, and a circulator;

[0109] Single-mode armored optical cables are installed inside the circulating filling pipe;

[0110] The optical pulse generation module includes a narrow linewidth laser, an optical fiber coupler, an acousto-optic modulator, and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier;

[0111] The light intensity detection module includes a polarization diversity receiver and a photodetector;

[0112] The first output of the fiber coupler is connected to the input of the polarization diversity receiver, and the second output is connected to the input of the acousto-optic modulator; the output of the acousto-optic modulator is connected to the input of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier.

[0119] The fiber coupler splits the optical signal emitted by the narrow linewidth laser into two paths: the first output is connected to the first input of the optical intensity detection module to detect the intensity change of the optical signal; the second output is connected to the first input of the acousto-optic modulation module to modulate the laser emitted by the narrow linewidth laser into a linear frequency sweeping optical pulse, which is then output to the erbium-doped fiber amplifier.

[0120] An acousto-optic modulator uses radio frequency signals to modulate the narrow linewidth laser emitted by a narrow linewidth laser into a linear sweep frequency optical pulse. This pulse is then used to modulate the light emitted by the laser into a linear sweep frequency optical pulse signal through gating and output to an erbium-doped fiber amplifier.

[0121] Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers amplify the power of the optical pulses output from the acousto-optic modulation module, which are then injected into the single-mode logging steel fiber via a circulator.

[0123] The photodetector module includes a polarization diversity receiver and a balanced photodetector. The functions of each part are as follows: the mixed optical signal of the local optical pulse output from the fiber coupler and the reflected light enters the polarization diversity receiver.

[0124] The polarization diversity receiver decomposes the mixed optical signal into two orthogonal polarization components: a horizontal polarization component and a vertical polarization component. The phases of these two polarization components are adjusted by optical phase delayers to ensure the stability of the subsequent interference signal. The two phase-adjusted polarization components then interfere with a reference optical signal, and the resulting interferometric signals are transmitted to the inputs of two photodetectors.

[0125] The photodetector converts the received interference light signal into an electrical signal and outputs it to the data processing system via a coaxial cable.

[0126] Furthermore, the data processing module includes: three SRAM interfaces, an acoustic wave acquisition and control module, a pressure sensor A / D acquisition and control module, and a controller.

Since the above content is conventional in the field, those skilled in the art are capable of implementing it based on conventional knowledge and it is not part of the scope of this embodiment; therefore, it will not be elaborated upon here.

[0128] The input terminal of the acoustic wave acquisition and control module serves as the first input terminal of the data processing module and the output terminal of the photodetector; the two output terminals of the acoustic wave acquisition and control module are connected to the controller through two SRAM interfaces respectively.

[0129] The input terminal of the pressure sensor A / D acquisition and control module is connected to each pressure sensor as the second input terminal of the data processing module; the output terminal of the pressure sensor A / D acquisition and control module is connected to the controller through the SRAM interface.
