Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rock mechanics and mining engineering test equipment technology, specifically to a coal and rock mass stress flow test platform based on multi-parameter collaborative monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Stress flow theory, as an important analytical tool for characterizing the stress transmission path, stress concentration, and evolution characteristics within coal and rock masses, plays a significant role in stability studies of underground engineering such as deep rock mechanics and mining engineering. However, existing research on stress flow mainly relies on theoretical derivation or numerical simulation, and its reliability is highly dependent on model assumptions and parameter selection, lacking effective experimental verification methods.

[0003] In experimental research, existing coal and rock mass mechanical tests typically use a single or limited number of physical parameters for monitoring, such as obtaining only stress changes, surface deformation, or acoustic emission information. These methods struggle to simultaneously reflect the intrinsic relationship between stress, deformation, and fracture behavior within the coal and rock mass. In particular, they are difficult to establish the correspondence between stress concentration areas, deformation concentration areas, and fracture locations on spatial and temporal scales, thus limiting the experimental inversion and verification of stress flow-related parameters.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive experimental platform that can simultaneously acquire multiple physical parameters within the same experimental system and provide an experimental basis for stress flow parameter calculation and verification through mutual verification of multiple parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a multi-parameter collaborative monitoring platform for stress flow in coal and rock masses, comprising a model frame, coal and rock similar materials, a roadway, a stress monitoring system, a deformation monitoring system, and an acoustic emission monitoring system. The model frame is a rectangular frame, including a top beam, a left support column, a bottom beam, and a right support column connected end-to-end. Several first jacks are sequentially installed along the axial direction below the top beam of the model frame. A rectangular coal and rock similar material is laid between the left and right support columns on the upper part of the bottom beam, and a roadway is formed within the coal and rock similar material. The platform also includes a first jack for supporting the roadway. The two jacks are provided with a support column at the rear of the model frame. The top of the support column is connected to a support crossbar pointing towards the roadway. The end of the support crossbar near the support column is connected to the support column, and the end near the roadway has a second jack on its upper, lower, left, and right sides. The stress monitoring system includes stress sensors arranged in the coal-rock similar material.

[0019] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a multi-parameter collaborative monitoring coal and rock mass stress flow test platform, which includes a model frame 1, coal and rock similar materials 3, roadway 5, stress monitoring system, deformation monitoring system, acoustic emission monitoring system and data acquisition and processing system.

[0021] The model frame 1 is a rectangular frame, including a top beam, a left support column, a bottom beam, and a right support column connected end to end. The left end of the top beam is connected to the top of the left support column, the right end of the top beam is connected to the top of the right support column, the left end of the bottom beam is connected to the bottom of the left support column, and the right end of the bottom beam is connected to the bottom of the right support column. If necessary, several legs (not shown in the figure) can be set at the bottom of the bottom beam to increase the height of the rectangular model frame 1.

[0022] Several first jacks 2 are sequentially installed along the axial direction at the lower part of the top beam of the model frame 1. Specifically, the first jacks 2 are fixed to the lower part of the top beam from left to right. The cylinder of each first jack 2 is fixed to the lower end face of the top beam, and the telescopic end is equipped with a first pressure block of a certain width. The first pressure blocks of adjacent first jacks 2 are adjacent to each other. The left side of the first pressure block of the leftmost first jack 2 is adjacent to the left support column, and the right side of the first pressure block of the rightmost first jack 2 is adjacent to the right support column. The first jacks 2 are used to simulate overburden load, thereby reducing the thickness of the coal-rock similar material 3.

[0023] In the lower part of the model frame 1, i.e., above the bottom beam, a rectangular coal-rock similar material 3 is laid from bottom to top between the left and right support columns, meaning the top surface of the coal-rock similar material 3 is horizontal. A roadway 5 is provided within the coal-rock similar material 3, which is excavated at a predetermined location after the coal-rock similar material 3 is laid. In this embodiment, the roadway 5 has a rectangular cross-section. A pad block 4 is also provided between the top surface of the coal-rock similar material 3 and the bottom surface of the first pressure block of the first jack 2. The pad block 4 can reduce the damage to the coal-rock similar material 3 caused by the first pressure block of the first jack 2. The coal-rock similar material 3 refers to a stratum containing coal seams and several rock strata.

[0024] It also includes second jacks 6 for supporting tunnel 5. At the rear of the model frame 1, a support column (not shown in the figure) is positioned directly opposite tunnel 5. The top of the support column is connected to a support crossbar (not shown in the figure) pointing towards tunnel 5. One end of the support crossbar is connected to the support column, and the other end, near tunnel 5, has a second jack 6 positioned on its top, bottom, left, and right sides. The cylinders of the four second jacks 6 are fixed to the support crossbar, and their telescopic ends are equipped with second pressure blocks of a certain width, the width of which corresponds to the dimensions of the corresponding tunnel cross-section. The second jacks 6 are used to simulate the support device for tunnel 5. In this embodiment, both the support column and the support crossbar are rectangular cross-section steel columns.

[0025] The stress monitoring system includes a stress sensor 8 arranged in the coal-rock similar material 3. The stress sensor 8 can be a stress cell or a strain gauge. The strain value measured by the strain gauge and the stress-strain relationship are converted into stress. The stress monitoring system is used to acquire stress change information of the model during the experiment.

[0026] The deformation monitoring system employs a non-contact measurement method based on digital image correlation to monitor the surface deformation process of the coal-rock similar material 3 in real time. For example, monitoring points are arranged on the surface of the coal-rock similar material 3, and a camera system (not shown in the figure) is set up in front of the model frame 1 to monitor and photograph the coal-rock similar material 3 during the test. The acquired photos are processed to obtain the displacement and deformation data of each monitoring point (a black dot of uniform size and spacing on the model surface) of the coal-rock similar material 3 during the test. By obtaining the displacement field information of the model surface, the strain field distribution can be further inverted, and the stress distribution characteristics of the sample surface can be calculated under certain conditions; thus, it can be cross-validated with the stress data obtained by the stress monitoring system.

[0027] The acoustic emission monitoring system includes acoustic emission probes 7 arranged in the coal-rock similar material 3 to capture elastic wave signals released during the initiation, propagation, and penetration of microcracks inside the model. By arranging multiple acoustic emission probes 7 around the model, the time recording and spatial positioning of model rupture events can be realized, thereby obtaining information on the location and evolution process of model rupture. The acoustic emission monitoring results are used to characterize the damage and rupture behavior inside the model and to compare and analyze them with stress and deformation information.

[0028] The data acquisition and processing system is used to acquire and process data from the stress monitoring system, deformation monitoring system, and acoustic emission monitoring system.

[0029] The test method of the coal and rock mass stress flow test platform based on the multi-parameter collaborative monitoring of this invention mainly includes the following steps: S1: Lay out coal and rock similar material 3 in the model frame 1 to make a model; and arrange stress sensor 8, deformation monitoring point and acoustic emission probe 7 of primary acoustic emission monitoring system in the coal and rock similar material 3. S2: Apply load to the model using the first jack 2 to simulate the pressure of the overlying strata; S3: Excavate tunnel 5 at the designed location and collect stress, deformation, and acoustic emission data of the model before and throughout the excavation process; S4: Use the second jack 6 to apply pressure to roadway 5 to simulate the support of roadway 5; collect stress, deformation and acoustic emission data of the model during the support process and under different support pressures; S5: By comprehensively analyzing multi-parameter data such as stress monitoring, deformation monitoring, and acoustic emission monitoring, cross-verification between different physical parameters can be achieved. Specifically, high deformation regions and dense acoustic emission event regions are spatially consistent, and stress concentration regions and rupture locations correspond in both time and space. Through multi-parameter superposition analysis, the reliability of judging stress concentration and rupture evolution can be effectively improved, providing credible experimental evidence for the calculation of stress flow parameters.
