Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent monitoring technology in underground coal mines, specifically to an integrated intelligent operation system and control method for monitoring and controlling underground drilling and extraction in coal mines. Background Technology
[0002] Underground drilling, gas extraction, and disaster monitoring in coal mines are core and crucial links in ensuring safe production, directly impacting the lives of underground workers and the efficient extraction of coal resources. However, current traditional underground mining operations still face numerous technical bottlenecks, specifically in the following aspects: 1. Low drilling accuracy and high equipment wear: Existing directional drilling rigs mainly rely on manual experience to adjust the drilling trajectory. Under complex geological conditions such as fractured coal seams and high-stress areas, due to the lack of real-time geological feedback and dynamic path correction, the drilling trajectory deviation is generally large, and the accuracy error often exceeds 1°. At the same time, the low matching degree between drilling parameters and lithology can easily lead to a sudden increase in drilling resistance, causing abnormal wear of diamond composite drill bits and deformation of drill rods, which not only reduces drilling efficiency but also increases equipment maintenance costs.
[0003] 2. Low gas extraction efficiency, high energy consumption, and safety hazards: Traditional gas extraction systems use fixed negative pressure pump stations for extraction, which cannot adjust the extraction negative pressure according to dynamic parameters such as the concentration and flow rate of gas emanating from the borehole. For low-concentration gas extraction, there is a problem of high energy consumption, while for high-concentration gas emanating, insufficient negative pressure leads to incomplete extraction and gas accumulation. In addition, the extraction pipeline lacks effective blowout prevention, anti-clogging, and gas-liquid separation measures. Coal slag, rock cuttings, and condensate can easily cause pipeline blockage and even cause wellhead blowout accidents, seriously threatening the safety of underground operations.
[0004] 3. Delayed disaster monitoring and early warning, low accuracy, and information silos: Existing downhole monitoring systems mainly rely on fixed-point monitoring, which cannot update monitoring data of risk areas in real time as drilling progresses. Moreover, alarm thresholds depend on static manual experience values, making it difficult to adapt to dynamically changing geological conditions. At the same time, the monitoring data from drilling, extraction, and monitoring are heterogeneous, lacking an effective data fusion and sharing mechanism, forming information silos. This makes it impossible to achieve comprehensive assessment and coordinated prevention and control of disaster risks, resulting in delayed early warnings and high false alarm and missed alarm rates for disasters such as gas over-limit, water inrush, and surrounding rock instability.
[0005] 4. High safety risks and low efficiency of manual operation: In the traditional operation mode, drilling, extraction and monitoring all require a lot of manual on-site operation. The operators are exposed to the dangerous underground environment of high gas, high dust and high stress for a long time, which poses extremely high safety risks. At the same time, manual operation is highly subjective and has low efficiency, making it difficult to achieve coordination between various links, resulting in a complicated overall operation process and long construction period.
[0006] Currently, although some intelligent drilling or extraction equipment has emerged in the industry, these are all single-function devices and have not achieved integrated and coordinated control of drilling, extraction, and monitoring, thus failing to fundamentally solve the aforementioned technical problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a highly integrated and intelligent intelligent operation system and control method for underground drilling, extraction, and monitoring in coal mines. This system should achieve fully unmanned operation, including precise borehole positioning, dynamic optimization of extraction, and real-time disaster early warning, through multi-unit collaborative control, deep fusion of multi-source data, and intelligent algorithm-driven operation, filling a technological gap in the industry. Summary of the Invention

The algorithm calculation module compares and analyzes the actual parameters with the planned parameters. Through the dynamic path planning algorithm, the attitude of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm and the parameters of the drilling power unit are adjusted in real time to achieve closed-loop correction of the borehole trajectory. S3. Adaptive adjustment of negative pressure in gas extraction driven by fuzzy PID algorithm: After drilling, the gas extraction unit connects to the borehole end and starts extraction. Gas concentration sensor and flow sensor collect gas concentration and extraction flow data in real time. The fuzzy PID algorithm of the central control unit takes gas concentration and extraction flow as input, and outputs negative pressure adjustment value after fuzzification, fuzzy inference and defuzzification. The negative pressure adaptive adjustment device adjusts the extraction negative pressure in real time according to the adjustment value. At the same time, the multi-stage filtration system, gas-liquid separation unit and pipeline anti-blocking unit work synchronously to achieve efficient purification and extraction of gas. S4. Disaster Risk Grading and Early Warning Based on Multi-Source Data Fusion: The intelligent monitoring unit transmits the collected gas concentration, dust concentration, surrounding rock microseismic signals, and ambient temperature and humidity data to the edge computing node for local preliminary processing. The processed data is then transmitted to the central control unit via the communication computing unit. The algorithm operation module performs fusion analysis on the multi-source data using an algorithm that combines DS evidence theory and neural networks. Based on the analysis results, it provides level one, level two, and level three early warnings for risks such as gas exceeding limits, water inrush signs, surrounding rock instability, and dust exceeding standards, and triggers corresponding linkage and response measures. S5. Full-process collaborative scheduling and linkage control: The central control unit realizes the collaborative scheduling of each unit based on real-time data from drilling, extraction, and monitoring. When a risk warning is detected, the corresponding linkage control is automatically triggered. At the same time, all operation data is uploaded to the ground monitoring system in real time through the communication computing unit, realizing unmanned underground operation and remote ground monitoring.
[0015] Preferably, in step S1, the downhole three-dimensional geological digital twin model is constructed using the IMMC-Geo modeling framework, which integrates UAV aerial photography of surface rock strata, downhole measured geological data, and real-time drilling data from the measurement while drilling system to achieve dynamic updates of the model, with an interface recognition accuracy of no less than 80%.
[0016] Preferably, the graded early warning in step S4 is as follows: the first-level early warning is a potential risk state, where the monitoring data is close to the threshold, the system issues an early warning and increases the data collection frequency; Level 2 warning is a risk warning state. The monitored data exceeds the threshold but does not reach an emergency state. The system issues an alarm message and automatically adjusts the extraction and drilling parameters. Level 3 early warning indicates a risk emergency state. When monitoring data significantly exceeds the threshold, the system issues an emergency alarm and triggers emergency response measures such as shutdown, drilling failure, and increased extraction. At the same time, it sends an emergency rescue signal to the ground monitoring system.
[0017] Preferably, the dynamic path planning algorithm in step S2 specifically includes the following steps: T1. Digital Twin Model Initialization and Geological Attribute Mapping: Load the downhole 3D geological digital twin model, complete the mesh generation and attribute labeling of rock interface, stress field, fracture zone, and fractured zone, and map geological risk to geological cost weight ω. g High-risk area ω g Take the largest value, force path avoidance, and establish the path from the orifice P0 to the target point P. t The global coordinate system is used to complete coordinate normalization; T2. Initial optimal path pre-planning: Starting from P0, P... t As the endpoint, a set of feasible path nodes is generated in the geological model. A hybrid evaluation function considering geological cost, distance cost, and technological cost is used to select the optimal initial path, outputting the initial planned trajectory sequence: P plan =[P0,P1,P2,...,P n ], and the corresponding design tilt and azimuth sequence [α0, α1, ..., α n ]、[β0,β1,...,β n ] T3. Real-time data acquisition and spatiotemporal synchronization while drilling: The MWD system acquires real-time trajectory parameters α(t), β(t), and L(t) at a high frequency of 10Hz, and simultaneously acquires drilling resistance F(t) and lithology R(t). The real-time data is mapped to three-dimensional coordinates according to the hole depth L(t) to obtain the actual trajectory point Pact(t), and the spatiotemporal stamp alignment between the planned trajectory and the actual trajectory is completed to eliminate sampling delay error. T4. Track Deviation Quantification Calculation: Calculate the tilt angle deviation Δα(t) = α(t) − α plan(t), azimuth deviation Δβ(t)=β(t)−β plan (t), calculate the three-dimensional spatial position deviation ΔS(t), i.e., P act (t) and P plan The Euclidean distance between corresponding nodes is used to determine whether the deviation exceeds the limit: threshold Δα max =±0.5∘、Δβ max =±0.5∘、ΔS max =0.1m; T5. Dynamic Cost Update and Correction Path Generation: The geological model is updated while drilling, incorporating real-time lithology, resistance, and microseismic signals into the cost function. Starting from the current actual borehole depth L(t), the optimal correction path for the remaining borehole depth is replanned, generating a correction trajectory sequence P. adjust Output target correction tilt angle α adj Azimuth β adj ; T6.
