Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of detection equipment technology, specifically relating to a short-range detection device for fluorite mine goaf areas. Background Technology
[0002] Goaf areas are "cavities" created by mining mineral resources beneath the surface. Due to the large number of untreated mining sites, chambers, and tunnels left over from mining, goaf areas are characterized by strong concealment, poor spatial distribution patterns, and unpredictable roof collapses. They pose a significant safety hazard to any new construction projects that pass through or through goaf areas. Therefore, major railway and highway projects often adopt bypass strategies when passing through mining areas. For mining areas where bypass conditions are poor and costs are high, reinforcement treatment is necessary after clarifying the distribution characteristics of goaf areas on both sides of the railway line. Therefore, accurately obtaining the spatial patterns and distribution range of goaf areas within the railway line's influence area is a prerequisite for bypassing or reinforcement.
[0003] Existing methods for detecting goaf areas mainly include three types. The first is using large geological testing equipment. However, because the location of goaf areas is unpredictable and the equipment is very heavy, deploying such equipment within the goaf area can easily trigger geological collapses, posing a risk of workers and equipment falling into the goaf. The second method is establishing a ground pressure monitoring network for long-term effective monitoring. However, establishing such a network typically takes too long, and because goaf areas vary in size, the network cannot accurately monitor smaller goaf areas, resulting in low accuracy. The third method is geophysical methods, which indirectly measure goaf areas by measuring the distribution of stratigraphic resistivity (high-density resistivity method) or dielectric constant (ground-based radar). The resistivity method relies on volumetric effects and suffers from low spatial resolution, while radar has a shallow detection depth, further contributing to low accuracy. Summary of the Invention

The magnetic field measuring instrument is deployed at the detection point to collect data. The data processing system establishes different geophysical numerical models based on the geological and geophysical information of the survey area, performs forward modeling on the geophysical numerical models to obtain transient electromagnetic response characteristics under different parameters, determines the detection parameters of the survey area based on the simulation results, conducts detection experiments at typical measurement points in the survey area to verify the selected detection parameters, and determines the acquisition parameters based on the verification results. Based on the acquisition parameters, the distribution of survey lines in the survey area is determined, transient electromagnetic waves are emitted to each survey line in the survey area, and the transient feedback electromagnetic waves fed back from each survey line are detected.
[0005] Furthermore, the feedback electromagnetic waves of each survey line are inverted and analyzed, and the inverted resistivity and depth data of each survey line are obtained based on the inversion analysis results.
[0006] Furthermore, based on the inversion resistivity and depth data of each survey line, the low resistivity anomaly zone and the goaf anomaly zone within the goaf area are determined; based on the low resistivity anomaly zone and the goaf anomaly zone, combined with geological and geophysical information, the boundary location of the goaf area is determined.
[0007] Furthermore, the detector employs a magnetic field measuring instrument, which includes a measuring instrument body and a base for supporting multi-stage magnets; a first turntable and a second turntable are disposed opposite to each other on the base and are rotatably connected to the base respectively, and the axis of the first turntable coincides with the axis of the second turntable.
[0008] Furthermore, the first positioning fixture is connected to the side of the first turntable facing the second turntable, and the second positioning fixture is connected to the side of the second turntable facing the first turntable.
[0009] Furthermore, the first positioning fixture has multiple first limiting points, and the second positioning fixture has multiple second limiting points that correspond one-to-one with the multiple first limiting points. The wire passes around the corresponding first limiting points and second limiting points and is threaded through the multi-stage magnet.
[0010] Furthermore, the wire located between the first limiting point and the second limiting point is parallel to the axis of the first turntable, and the distance between it and the axis of the first turntable is less than the inner circumference of the multi-stage magnet.

[0016] The detector employs a magnetic field measuring instrument 1, which includes a measuring instrument body 11 and a base 13 for supporting multi-stage magnets 12. A first turntable and a second turntable are disposed opposite to each other on the base 13 and are rotatably connected to the base 13 respectively.

[0017] Controlled-Source Audio-Frequency Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) is a frequency sounding method using artificial field sources. It boasts advantages such as high signal strength, high efficiency, high lateral and longitudinal resolution, and clear structural reflection, and has been widely used in recent years for detecting goaf areas. However, when local conductive inhomogeneities exist on the surface, the Carnia apparent resistivity curve exhibits a static effect of multiple shifts in a logarithmic coordinate system. This effect can lead to false structures or anomalies appearing vertically in the cross-sectional view, severely affecting the CSAMT results. Currently, there are various static correction methods, mainly including filtering, wavelet transform, and curve translation. Curve translation is the most commonly used method to eliminate static displacement. It utilizes the translation characteristics of the Carnia apparent resistivity curve in a logarithmic coordinate system to shift the curve vertically to achieve correction. However, this method lacks a standard correction value, often resulting in under- or over-correction.
[0018] Based on the characteristics of the Transient Electromagnetic Method (TEM) in directly measuring magnetic field data and thus effectively avoiding the influence of shallow inhomogeneities, the CSAMT curve was shifted using TEM magnetic field data as a reference, effectively suppressing the static effect of CSAMT.
[0019] Static effects, based on the characteristics of electromagnetic fields, indicate that in a horizontally homogeneous layered medium, the direction of the current field is parallel to the interface, and no charge accumulates at the interface. When local inhomogeneities exist at or near the surface, the observed electric field will be distorted due to their influence. Current converges in low-resistivity areas and diverges in high-resistivity areas.
[0020] When a stream flows through the interface of an inhomogeneous volume, charge accumulates on the boundary surface. The charge volume density in the medium can be expressed as:
[0021] In the formula, σ is the conductivity, ε0 is the permittivity, and E is the primary electric field. The secondary electric field generated by the accumulated charge is:
[0022] In the formula It is a secondary magnetic vector potential field. It is the electrostatic potential generated by accumulated charge. If the electromagnetic field penetrates to a depth greater than the size of the inhomogeneous body, due to the secondary magnetic vector potential... The electric field that varies with time is very small compared to the electrostatic field and can be neglected. Therefore, the secondary electric field is independent of frequency. According to Coulomb's law:
[0023] In the formula, r represents the volume element from the observation point to the non-uniform volume. Distance vector between, It is the charge density, and r0 is the unit vector of r.
[0024] Carnia apparent resistivity Defined as the ratio of electric field to magnetic field. To induce a magnetic field:
[0025] It is known that the additional field generated by the accumulated charge at the interface of the inhomogeneous body is proportional to the background field. When an inhomogeneous body is present, the secondary electric field value increases or decreases by a factor, causing the calculated Carnia apparent resistivity value to also change by a factor. Compared with the case without an inhomogeneous body, the curve will have an up-and-down shift characteristic, which is the static displacement. However, the magnetic field is not affected by this. Therefore, magnetic field data can be measured to help correct CSAMT data and eliminate static displacement.
[0026] EM directly measures magnetic field data and calculates apparent resistivity using the measured magnetic field components. It is insensitive to changes in lateral resistivity, and the calculated apparent resistivity effectively avoids the influence of shallow inhomogeneities. Early TEM data contained errors due to calculations in later formulas; therefore, later TEM data was used as a reference to correct the static displacement of the CSAMT sounding curve.
[0027] The skin depth formula for CSAMT in a uniform half-space is:
[0028] In the formula, f is the detection frequency of CSAMT. The skin depth formula of TEM in a uniform half-space of the ground is:
[0029] In the formula, t is the detection time in the late stage of TEM (in seconds).
[0030] make = Then there is
[0031] The time of the late TEM is converted into the corresponding frequency. The late TEM and CSAMT responses are compared. The difference in apparent resistivity between the two is the static displacement. The CSAMT curve is shifted to eliminate the static displacement.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments that can be applied to other fields.
