Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of detection device technology, specifically to a dual-frequency radio wave detection device and method. Background Technology
[0002] Underground geological structure detection is a crucial step in ensuring the safe mining of mineral resources. Radio wave detection technology, due to its advantages of not damaging geological bodies and having a wide detection range, is widely used in the detection of structural anomalies in underground working faces. However, existing underground radio wave detection technologies still have many shortcomings and cannot meet the requirements for efficient and accurate detection. Existing detection devices mostly use single-band signals for detection, and the selection of frequency bands has inherent defects: although low-frequency signals have strong penetration capabilities and can achieve detection over long distances, their resolution is low and it is difficult to accurately locate small structural anomaly areas; high-frequency signals have higher resolution and can clearly identify small-scale anomalies, but their penetration capabilities are weak and their detection distance is limited, making it impossible to meet the dual requirements of long-distance detection and accurate identification. Meanwhile, the switching of transmission and reception modes in existing detection devices largely relies on manual operation, requiring staff to enter the tunnels to adjust equipment status or swap the positions of transceivers. This is not only cumbersome and inefficient but also poses certain safety hazards. Furthermore, existing detection methods often rely on single-frequency band detection data for inversion analysis during data processing, resulting in insufficient identification of response characteristics of geological anomalies. This can easily lead to deviations in the location of anomaly areas, affecting the reliability of the detection results. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Example 1 discloses a downhole dual-frequency radio wave detection device, such as... Figure 1 As shown (this is an exemplary description; in actual patents, it can be accompanied by accompanying drawings), it includes two independently configured transmitting circuits, two independently configured receiving circuits, as well as a switching circuit, a transceiver coil, a control unit, and an ADC module. All components are electrically connected through wires to form a complete signal transmission and processing system.
[0019] The transmitting circuit is an H-bridge transmitting circuit, with two sets of transmitting circuits adapted to the low-frequency band respectively. and high frequency band ,in It is a low-frequency signal with strong penetrating power. For high-resolution high-frequency signals, each transmitting circuit can independently generate and output electromagnetic wave drive signals in the corresponding frequency band. The H-bridge structure has the characteristics of stable output power and strong driving capability, which can ensure the effective radiation of electromagnetic wave signals.
[0020] The receiving circuit and the transmitting circuit are in one-to-one correspondence, each supporting the low-frequency band. and high frequency band The signal receiving circuit integrates a filtering module and an amplification module. The filtering module is used to filter out interference signals in the complex electromagnetic environment downhole, and the amplification module is used to amplify the amplitude of the weak received signal to ensure the accuracy of subsequent signal processing. The output of the receiving circuit is electrically connected to the input of the ADC module to transmit the processed analog signal to the ADC module for analog-to-digital conversion.
[0021] The switching circuit is an electronic switch. Its input terminals are connected to the output terminals of the two sets of transmitting circuits and the input terminals of the two sets of receiving circuits, respectively. Its output terminal is connected to the transceiver coil, and its control terminal is electrically connected to the I / O interface of the control unit. Under the control of the control unit, the switching circuit selectively connects the transmitting circuit to the transceiver coil (while simultaneously disconnecting the transmitting circuit from the receiving circuit), or connects the receiving circuit to the transceiver coil (while simultaneously disconnecting the transmitting circuit from the transceiver coil), thereby switching between transmitting and receiving modes.
[0022] The integrated transceiver coil adopts a hollow coil or a coil with a magnetic core structure, possessing dual functions of signal transmission and reception. It eliminates the need for separate transmitting and receiving coils, simplifying the device structure and facilitating deployment in confined underground spaces. Its coil parameters are adapted to the low-frequency band. and high frequency band The signal characteristics ensure effective transmission and reception of signals in both frequency bands.
[0023] The control unit uses an FPGA as the main control chip (a DSP chip can also be used). The FPGA chip has the advantages of strong parallel processing capability and good real-time performance, which can meet the real-time requirements of dual-band signal transmission and reception control and data processing. The output terminal of the control unit is electrically connected to the input terminals of the two sets of transmitting circuits and the control terminal of the switching circuit. The input terminal is electrically connected to the output terminal of the ADC module. In the transmission mode, the control unit generates a square wave signal of the corresponding frequency and outputs it to the H-bridge transmitting circuit to drive the H-bridge transmitting circuit to work and transmit electromagnetic wave signals through the transceiver coil. In the reception mode, the control unit reads the digital signal output by the ADC module and analyzes the digital signal to obtain the amplitude information of the wireless signal.
[0024] The ADC module uses a high-precision analog-to-digital converter chip. Its sampling frequency and resolution are adapted to the frequency band characteristics of the received signal. It can accurately convert the analog signal transmitted by the receiving circuit into a digital signal, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the signal data and providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent data processing.
[0025] When the device is in transmit mode, the control unit outputs a control signal to the switch switching circuit, which controls the switch switching circuit to connect the transmitting circuit and the transceiver coil, and disconnect the transmitting circuit and the receiving circuit. Then, according to the preset detection frequency band, the control unit outputs a square wave drive signal to the H-bridge transmitting circuit of the corresponding frequency band. Under the action of the square wave drive signal, the H-bridge transmitting circuit generates a current signal of the corresponding frequency band, which is converted into an electromagnetic wave signal by the transceiver coil and radiated.
[0026] When the device is in receiving mode, the control unit outputs a control signal to the switch switching circuit, which controls the switch switching circuit to connect the receiving circuit and the transceiver coil, and disconnect the transmitting circuit from the transceiver coil. The transceiver coil receives the electromagnetic wave signal propagating through the coal and rock layer, converts it into a weak voltage signal and transmits it to the receiving circuit. The receiving circuit filters out interference signals through the filtering module, amplifies the voltage signal through the amplification module, and then transmits the processed analog signal to the ADC module. The ADC module converts the analog signal into a digital signal and transmits it to the control unit. The control unit reads and stores the digital signal, completing the signal reception process.

The receiving circuit first filters out the underground electromagnetic interference signal through the filtering module, then amplifies the voltage signal through the amplification module, and then transmits the processed analog signal to the ADC module. The ADC module converts the analog signal into a digital signal, and the receiver's control unit reads and stores the digital signal.
