Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent monitoring technology for mine thermal hazards, specifically relating to a method and system for underground temperature field reconstruction and thermal disaster early warning based on acoustic tomography. Background Technology
[0002] Downhole temperature measurement is a specialized type of temperature measurement. Existing contact-based solutions, such as thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and expansion sensors, are prone to wire breakage, thermal current interference, and material fatigue failure in mining areas with high dust levels, strong vibrations, and frequent equipment movement. This leads to data distortion and an inability to dynamically cover the entire cross-section. Non-contact technologies that utilize optical principles can avoid the risks of physical contact; however, infrared imaging technology is significantly affected by high-concentration dust obstruction, while laser temperature measurement suffers from positioning errors due to reflections from tunnel walls and has a limited effective detection range, failing to achieve full coverage of large-scale spaces.
[0003] In fire propagation modeling, traditional machine learning models rely on manual feature extraction, which makes it difficult to capture complex nonlinear characteristics and spatiotemporal dependencies of data; ordinary RNNs are prone to gradient vanishing and cannot effectively learn long-term dynamic changes; 3DCNNs have high computational cost and insufficient flexibility, while Transformers have high computational complexity and their spatial feature extraction is not intuitive.
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, there is an urgent need to provide a method and system for downhole temperature field reconstruction and thermal disaster early warning based on acoustic tomography. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems of the existing technologies mentioned above, this invention provides a method and system for underground temperature field reconstruction and thermal disaster early warning based on acoustic tomography. This method is simple to implement and low in cost. It can achieve full-area temperature sensing and early warning of hidden fire sources under complex working conditions such as dust pollution, strong vibration, and large cross-sections without contact or damage to the surrounding rock of the mine roadway. It provides an efficient and accurate technical means for underground temperature field monitoring and has high practicality and adaptability. The system has a simple structure and a high degree of intelligence, and it can autonomously achieve full-area temperature sensing and early warning of hidden fire sources in the target monitoring area.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for downhole temperature field reconstruction and thermal disaster early warning based on acoustic tomography, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Acoustic signal acquisition and matrix equation construction;
[0008] S11: Explosion-proof speaker arrays and microphone arrays are arranged alternately on both sides of the roadway in the monitoring area;
[0009] S12: Using frequency division multiplexing technology, the explosion-proof speaker array can simultaneously emit sound waves of different frequency bands; at the same time, the sound wave signals are synchronously collected and received through the microphone array and sent to the edge computing node.
[0010] S13: Edge computing nodes perform bandpass filtering and cross-correlation operations on acoustic signals, extract the flight time of each sound path, and generate high-precision TOF measurement values by filtering the real sound path through time consistency verification, forming a real sound path dataset, and constructing an overdetermined system of equations.
[0011] Step 2: Virtual path enhancement and temperature field reconstruction;
[0012] S21: Based on the TOF data of the microphone array, a virtual sound ray method is used to interpolate and generate a virtual path between real microphones. The length of the virtual path is calculated based on the cosine theorem, and weighted coefficients are used to fuse the virtual and physical TOF data to achieve virtual path enhancement.
[0013] S22: Extend the measurement matrix and TOF vector, solve the extended overdetermined equations by least squares method, and combine the sound velocity-temperature linear model to realize high-resolution temperature field reconstruction of the temperature field of the tunnel cross section;
[0014] Step 3: Fire early warning and anomaly detection;
[0015] Edge computing nodes input multiple consecutive frames of temperature field images into the TimesNet model. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used to convert the one-dimensional time series to the frequency domain, revealing the dominant periodic pattern. The one-dimensional time series data is folded into a stacked matrix containing complete spatiotemporal information according to different periods. Inception convolution is used to simultaneously capture multi-scale features in both time and space dimensions on the stacked matrix. A parameter-sharing mechanism maintains powerful feature extraction capabilities while achieving model lightweighting. Stable feature transfer and deep evolution are achieved through residual connections and multi-layer stacking. Coordinate mapping is used to convert abnormal pixels in the image into meaningful underground physical coordinates. Finally, the TimesNet model outputs the fire warning level and the coordinates of the abnormal area.

Finally, the TimesNet model outputs fire warning level data and fire spatial location data.
[0089] This invention proposes a method for mine temperature field reconstruction and thermal disaster early warning based on acoustic tomography. First, it utilizes frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technology to simultaneously transmit / receive multi-band acoustic waves, overcoming the limitations of traditional time delay estimation algorithms. By allowing multiple signals of different frequency bands to be transmitted in parallel, it eliminates the time-consuming problem of sequential transmission and simultaneously achieves instantaneous sampling of multi-channel signals, ensuring time consistency and improving dynamic response capabilities. It also significantly improves data acquisition efficiency. Alternating acoustic signals are acquired via an explosion-proof microphone array, and then filtered and cross-correlated by edge computing nodes. This process separates the clean signals of each sound path from the aliased sound waves, effectively eliminating multipath interference caused by roadway wall reflections. A further filtering process ensures that only sound path paths conforming to physical laws are retained, effectively improving data quality. Next, virtual paths are generated by interpolation between real microphones, effectively increasing the coverage density of sound path paths and compensating for measurement blind spots caused by the limited number of physical microphones. By combining the cosine theorem to calculate the virtual path length and employing weighted coefficients to fuse virtual and physical Time-of-Flight (TOF) data, the overall accuracy and spatial resolution of acoustic time-of-flight measurements can be significantly improved, resolving the matrix rank deficiency problem caused by insufficient sensor quantity. Simultaneously, the least squares method effectively suppresses measurement noise and errors, enhancing the stability of parameter inversion. Combined with a sound velocity-temperature linear model, high-resolution reconstruction of the temperature field in the tunnel cross-section can be achieved, providing more accurate data support for mine environmental monitoring. Finally, multiple consecutive frames of temperature fields are input into a TimesNet model. The TimesNet model extracts multi-scale features through adaptive periodic decomposition and two-dimensional spatiotemporal convolution, combining the optimization of both temporal and spatial resolution to map abnormal regions from pixel space to physical space. Ultimately, the fire warning level and abnormal region coordinates are output, providing support for mine safety decision-making and realizing a closed loop from monitoring to decision support.
[0090] This method is simple to implement and has low implementation costs. It can achieve full-area temperature sensing and early warning of hidden fire sources under complex working conditions such as dust, strong vibration and large cross-section without contacting or damaging the surrounding rock of the roadway. It can provide efficient and accurate technical means for temperature field monitoring in mines and has high practicality and adaptability.
[0091] The present invention also provides a downhole temperature field reconstruction and thermal disaster early warning system based on acoustic tomography, which is used to realize a method for downhole temperature field reconstruction and thermal disaster early warning based on acoustic tomography, including an explosion-proof speaker array, a microphone array, an edge computing node and a host computer;

[0108] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0109] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this invention provides a method for downhole temperature field reconstruction and thermal disaster early warning based on acoustic tomography, comprising the following steps:
[0110] Step 1: Acoustic signal acquisition and matrix equation construction;
[0111] S11: Explosion-proof speaker arrays and microphone arrays are arranged alternately on both sides of the roadway in the monitoring area;
[0112] S12: Using frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technology, the explosion-proof speaker array can simultaneously emit sound waves of different frequency bands; at the same time, the sound wave signals are synchronously collected and received through the microphone array and sent to the edge computing node.
[0113] S13: Edge computing nodes perform bandpass filtering and cross-correlation operations on acoustic signals to extract the Time of Flight (TOF) of each acoustic path. They also filter the real acoustic paths through time consistency verification to generate high-precision TOF measurements, effectively removing multipath interference and clock synchronization errors, forming a physical acoustic path dataset, and constructing an overdetermined set of equations.
[0114] Step 2: Virtual path enhancement and temperature field reconstruction;
[0115] S21: Based on the TOF data of the microphone array, a virtual sound ray method is used to interpolate and generate a virtual path between real microphones. The length of the virtual path is calculated based on the cosine theorem, and weighted coefficients are used to fuse the virtual and physical TOF data to achieve virtual path enhancement.
[0116] S22: Extend the measurement matrix and TOF vector, solve the extended overdetermined equations by least squares method, and combine the sound velocity-temperature linear model to realize high-resolution temperature field reconstruction of the temperature field of the tunnel cross section;
[0117] This technology improves the spatial resolution of traditional acoustic thermometry to the sub-meter level while suppressing the interference of non-uniform media on the speed of sound.
[0118] Step 3: Fire early warning and anomaly detection;
[0119] Edge computing nodes input multiple consecutive frames of temperature field images into the TimesNet model. They then transform the one-dimensional time series to the frequency domain using Fast Fourier Transform to obtain the dominant periodic patterns. The one-dimensional time series data is folded into a stacked matrix containing complete spatiotemporal information according to different periods. Inception convolution is used to simultaneously capture multi-scale features in both time and space dimensions on the stacked matrix. A parameter sharing mechanism maintains powerful feature extraction capabilities while achieving model lightweighting. Stable feature transfer and deep evolution are achieved through residual connections and multi-layer stacking. Coordinate mapping is used to convert abnormal pixels in the image into meaningful underground physical coordinates. Finally, the TimesNet model outputs the fire warning level and the coordinates of the abnormal area.
[0120] As a preferred embodiment, in step S12 of step one, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technology is used to enable the explosion-proof speaker array to simultaneously emit sound waves of different frequency bands; simultaneously, the sound wave signals are synchronously acquired and received through a microphone array and sent to the edge computing node, as follows:
[0121] S12-1: Frequency band division; The transmit signal bandwidth (20 Hz~20 kHz) is divided into multiple non-overlapping sub-bands in the frequency domain, and a segment is set between adjacent sub-bands as isolation protection to avoid spectrum interference;
[0122] In this way, within each transmission cycle, the transmitted signal consists of several linearly swept sub-signals with non-overlapping frequency domains. The number of sub-signals, their frequency band range, and time delay can be flexibly configured according to the tunnel length and resolution requirements. Due to the superposition of multiple frequency signals, the amplitude of the aliased waveform may increase, but the frequency domains of the sub-signals in each measurement path are independent, and they can be effectively separated by subsequent bandpass filtering.
[0123] S12-2: Synchronous transmission and reception of multiple signals;
[0124] Since there is no overlap between two adjacent frequency bands, this allows different explosion-proof loudspeakers to simultaneously emit sub-signals of different frequency bands without causing frequency interference in the spectrum. Figure 3 In the middle, the speaker and Simultaneously transmitting sound source signals of different frequency ranges, via microphone and Simultaneous sampling is performed. Parallel transmission is achieved through frequency domain isolation, eliminating the time interval between channel switching; simultaneously, aliased acoustic signals are received via a microphone array and sent to the edge computing node; the minimum measurement cycle time is determined by the longest TOF acoustic path. Figure 3 In For the longest sound path, the minimum measurement time for temperature and velocity measurements is... It can be obtained according to formula (1);
[0125] (1);
[0126] In the formula, Indicates the pulse width of the sound source signal. Indicates the path of sound waves Flight time on the plane.
[0127] As a preferred embodiment, in step S13 of step one, the process of constructing the overdetermined system of equations is as follows:
[0128] S13-1: Filtering; extracting sub-signals of each measurement path from the aliased acoustic signal using a bandpass filter;
[0129] Because the sub-band frequency domains are independent, filtering can effectively separate superimposed signals and suppress the influence of aliasing amplitude. For example, a microphone. and The corresponding frequency band signals are received respectively, and after filtering, four independent acoustic path data are obtained; Figure 3 A speaker was shown. , With microphone , Relative position and longest sound path To verify the robustness of this method under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, 10dB Gaussian white noise was added to the signal in the simulation. In practical applications, there is no need to actively introduce noise.
[0130] S13-2: TOF matrix construction; Organizing the TOF measurements into a matrix of TOF measurements. The structural parameter matrix is constructed by the position of the physical microphone and the length of the sound wave path. ;
[0131] S13-3: Matrix Equation Construction;
[0132] The FDM-based measurement method involves multiple measurement paths, and the parameters to be solved are usually gas velocity and temperature. Taking four measurement paths as an example, an overdetermined equation set is established based on the measurement paths and according to formula (2);
[0133] (2);
[0134] In the formula, For temperature and speed The matrix to be determined.
[0135] As a preferred option, the virtual path enhancement process in step two is as follows:
[0136] S21-1: Generate virtual sound wave paths; the virtual sound wave path method is used when the number of sound wave paths is small. New sound wave paths can be generated using the known positions and parameters of the microphones. For virtual microphones at positions other than the first and last virtual microphones, the length of their corresponding virtual sound wave paths can be calculated based on the lengths of the sound wave paths corresponding to the two adjacent microphones.
[0137] At a spacing of Two physical microphones Insert evenly between The first virtual microphone, according to the law of cosines, is obtained according to formula (3). The virtual sound wave path length corresponding to each virtual microphone ;
[0138] (3);
[0139] In the formula, For two adjacent physical microphones The spacing; and These are two adjacent physical microphones. The sound wave path; The spacing between adjacent microphones;
[0140] Based on the above formula, the solution can be obtained. Figure 4 The virtual sound wave path length corresponding to all virtual microphones in the program.
[0141] S21-2: Calculation of the Time-of-Flight (TOF) vector for the virtual path; after determining the coordinates of the virtual microphone and its corresponding acoustic path length, the TOF of adjacent virtual acoustic paths can be used. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the first step is calculated according to formula (4). TOF of the virtual sound wave path corresponding to each virtual microphone;
[0142] (4);
[0143] In the formula, The weighting coefficients represent the virtual sound wave path. ; and The path length between adjacent entities; and This is the Time-of-Flight (TOF) for adjacent entity paths.
[0144] As a preferred embodiment, in step S22 of step two, the process of achieving high-resolution temperature field reconstruction of the tunnel cross-section temperature field is as follows:
[0145] S22-1: Matrix expansion;
[0146] TOF data from the virtual microphone TOF data compared to physical microphones Merge to form the expanded TOF vector Based on the virtual microphone position and path length, expand the structure parameter matrix. for It contains geometric information of both physical entities and virtual paths;
[0147] S22-2: Least squares solution and temperature field reconstruction;
[0148] Due to the matrix Since it is a non-square matrix, it is calculated... A positive definite square matrix can be obtained, whose rank is full column rank, therefore the corresponding solution is unique. The extended overdetermined system of equations is solved using the least squares method according to formula (5); in the underground environment of a mine, the medium temperature... ( (and the speed of sound) There is a known single-valued functional relationship between them, which forms the physical basis for retrieving the temperature field using acoustic tomography. Based on the linear relationship between acoustic propagation speed and temperature in formula (6), a temperature-velocity relationship model is performed to realize high-resolution temperature field reconstruction of the tunnel cross-section temperature field;
[0149] (5);
[0150] (6).
[0151] correspond The reference speed of sound at that time; This refers to the temperature coefficient. For potential gas and humidity deviations occurring underground, the formula can be compensated using conventional linear correction methods. The compensated model still maintains a linear form and can be directly used for temperature field inversion, meeting accuracy requirements without additional on-site calibration. The above process demonstrates that the FDM-based measurement method can solve for the unknowns of medium velocity and temperature based on acoustic signals along all acoustic paths, thereby achieving effective measurement of gas temperature and velocity.
[0152] As a preferred option, the process of outputting the fire warning level and the coordinates of the abnormal area in step three is as follows:

For example, if one frame of the temperature field image is acquired every 5 seconds, and the input model sequence contains 10 frames, then... The corresponding total time span is Second; The spatial resolution of the temperature field image is: 1) **Variable dimension**, containing two types of information: temperature value and temperature gradient, which together constitute the variable dimension of the model input. The temperature value dimension is the real-time temperature value of each spatial pixel, used to capture the magnitude of the temperature. The temperature gradient dimension is the temperature gradient of each spatial pixel in the horizontal and vertical directions (calculated from the temperatures of adjacent pixels), used to capture the trend of temperature changes. If the spatial resolution of the temperature field image is... (M is the number of vertical pixels, N is the number of horizontal pixels), then after unfolding a single frame temperature field image, the variable dimensions are...

Zero-padding and folding are performed sequentially, and then the data is sent to the parameter-sharing Inception module for processing. This utilizes a parameter-efficient Inception structure. Each independent processing branch shares the same set of Inception convolutional kernel parameters, significantly reducing the number of parameters compared to traditional multi-path Inception networks, thus achieving lightweight deployment. Inception blocks share weights, ensuring that the model size does not increase with the number of processing branches.

[0205] After deep extraction and evolution of temporal features through multiple layers of TimesBlock, the TimesNet model determines the fire risk level by periodic analysis of the temporal changes in the temperature field. The fire risk levels are none, low, medium, high, and extremely high, and the model provides key features corresponding to each risk level (such as maximum temperature and heating rate) to form fire warning level data. At the same time, the TimesNet model combines the spatial perception capabilities of periodicity and convolution to provide the coordinate set and thermal distribution matrix of abnormally high temperature areas in the mine, predict the fire spread trend vector, and form fire spatial coordinate location data. Finally, the TimesNet model outputs fire warning level data and fire spatial location data to support mine safety decisions.
[0206] Fire warning level data: By analyzing the periodic changes in the temperature field over time, the fire risk level is determined, and the key characteristics corresponding to each risk level are given; the fire risk levels are none, low, medium, high, and extremely high.
[0207] Fire spatial coordinate positioning data: Combining the spatial perception capabilities of periodicity and convolution, the system outputs the coordinate set and thermal distribution matrix of abnormally high-temperature areas within the mine, predicts the fire spread trend vector, and provides support for mine safety decisions. After these data are transmitted to the monitoring system in real time through edge nodes, they are presented intuitively in the form of "early warning level visualization panel + fire heat map (overlaid with mine map) + key parameter list", allowing safety personnel to quickly grasp the fire situation and assist in formulating response strategies.
[0208] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this invention proposes a method for mine temperature field reconstruction and thermal disaster early warning based on acoustic tomography. First, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technology is used to simultaneously transmit / receive multi-band acoustic waves, overcoming the limitations of traditional time delay estimation algorithms. By allowing multiple signals of different frequency bands to be transmitted in parallel, the time-consuming problem of sequential transmission is eliminated. Simultaneously, instantaneous sampling of multi-channel signals is achieved, ensuring time consistency and improving dynamic response capabilities. Furthermore, data acquisition efficiency is significantly improved. Altered acoustic signals are acquired via an explosion-proof microphone array, and then filtered and cross-correlated by edge computing nodes. This separates the clean signals of each sound path from the aliased acoustic waves, effectively eliminating multipath interference caused by roadway wall reflections. A further filtering process ensures that only sound path paths conforming to physical laws are retained, effectively improving data quality. Next, virtual paths are generated by interpolation between real microphones, effectively increasing the coverage density of sound path paths and compensating for measurement blind spots caused by the limited number of physical microphones. By combining the cosine theorem to calculate the virtual path length and employing weighted coefficients to fuse virtual and physical Time-of-Flight (TOF) data, the overall accuracy and spatial resolution of acoustic time-of-flight measurements can be significantly improved, resolving the matrix rank deficiency problem caused by insufficient sensor quantity. Simultaneously, the least squares method effectively suppresses measurement noise and errors, enhancing the stability of parameter inversion. Combined with a sound velocity-temperature linear model, high-resolution reconstruction of the temperature field in the tunnel cross-section can be achieved, providing more accurate data support for mine environmental monitoring. Finally, multiple consecutive frames of temperature fields are input into a TimesNet model. The TimesNet model extracts multi-scale features through adaptive periodic decomposition and two-dimensional spatiotemporal convolution, combining the optimization of both temporal and spatial resolution to map abnormal regions from pixel space to physical space. Ultimately, the fire warning level and abnormal region coordinates are output, providing support for mine safety decision-making and realizing a closed loop from monitoring to decision support.
[0209] This method is simple to implement and has low implementation costs. It can achieve full-area temperature sensing and early warning of hidden fire sources under complex working conditions such as dust, strong vibration and large cross-section without contacting or damaging the surrounding rock of the roadway. It can provide efficient and accurate technical means for temperature field monitoring in mines and has high practicality and adaptability.
