[0021] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0022] When the following description relates to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention.

[0023] During tunnel construction, the geological conditions in front of the tunnel boring machine (TBM) face have a significant impact on construction safety, tunneling efficiency, and engineering risks. Therefore, accurately detecting the geological structure in front of the TBM is a crucial issue in the field of geological surveying.

[0024] In related technologies, muon detectors are often used to collect muon ray information from the area to be detected, and the geological structure conditions of the area to be detected are imaged and displayed based on the muon ray information.

[0025] However, in related technologies, tunnel boring machines affect the absorption and scattering of muons, which seriously affects the muon imaging results and leads to distortion in the detection of geological structures.

[0026] Therefore, due to the complex and high-density structure of tunnel boring machines (TBMs), their cutterhead, main drive system, and metal components absorb and scatter muon rays. Thus, by correcting the muon flux data collected by the muon detectors mounted on the TBM using a three-dimensional structural model that includes the TBM's structural and equivalent density information, the influence of the TBM's structure and density on muon rays can be eliminated, thereby eliminating the interference of the TBM on muon flux data at its source. Based on the corrected muon flux data, more accurate three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel can be obtained. This eliminates the problem of geological structure detection distortion caused by the TBM.

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention provide an imaging method for muon rays, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the imaging methods include: S110. Determine the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine (TBM). The three-dimensional structural model includes the structural information and equivalent density information of the TBM.

[0028] The structural information of the tunnel boring machine in step S110 above includes at least one of the following: structural type, structural spatial location, and structural dimensions. The structural type includes at least one of the following: cutterhead, main drive system, shield shell, and trolley frame. The equivalent density information corresponds one-to-one with the structural type; for example, when the cutterhead material is alloy steel, the corresponding equivalent density is 7850 kg / m³. 3 When the shield material is steel, the corresponding equivalent density is 7850 kg / m³. 3 The equivalent density corresponding to the main drive system is 6800 kg / m³. 3 The equivalent density corresponding to the trolley frame is 5200 kg / m³. 3 The three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine (TBM) can be obtained by fusing the TBM's factory-designed computer-aided design (CAD) model with the TBM's three-dimensional laser scanning point cloud model. Its voxel size is 0.2m × 0.2m × 0.2m.

[0029] S120. Based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine, the muon flux data collected by the muon detector is corrected to obtain corrected muon flux data, so as to eliminate the interference caused by the tunnel boring machine to the muon flux data; the muon detector is installed on the tunnel boring machine.

[0030] The muon detector in step S120 is installed on the tunnel boring machine (TBM), which includes: the muon detector is installed inside the matching trolley or the TBM body, and the muon detector faces the direction of the TBM's advance, for collecting muon flux data from the tunnel ahead of the TBM's advance direction.

[0031] The muon detector can be a plastic scintillator detector with an effective detection area of ​​0.5m × 0.5m. Two muon detectors can be installed, symmetrically positioned left and right behind the cutterhead inside the tunnel boring machine (TBM). For example, if the tunnel slab bottom height is 9m. The muon detectors are oriented towards the direction of TBM advancement, meaning they face the tunnel face at a pitch angle of +45°, covering a detection area of ​​0-30m diagonally above the tunnel face. Every time the TBM advances a preset distance, the muon detectors collect a set of muon flux data for the tunnel ahead in the direction of TBM advancement.

[0032] S130. Based on the corrected muon flux data, determine the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel.

[0033] The three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel in step S130 above includes the density value and spatial location information of each voxel after the geological structure of the tunnel in front of the tunnel boring machine's advance direction is discretized in three-dimensional space.

[0034] The muon ray imaging method provided by the embodiments of the present invention can include the following beneficial effects: Due to the complex structure and high density of the tunnel boring machine (TBM), its cutterhead, main drive system, and metal components absorb and scatter muon rays. Therefore, by correcting the muon flux data collected by the muon detector installed on the TBM based on a three-dimensional structural model of the TBM, including its structural information and equivalent density information, the influence of the TBM's structure and density on muon rays can be eliminated, thereby eliminating the interference of the TBM on the muon flux data at the source. Based on the corrected muon flux data, more accurate three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel can be obtained. Thus, when detecting the geological structure of the tunnel based on muon imaging, the problem of detection distortion of the geological structure caused by the TBM can be eliminated.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S120 above, which involves correcting the muon flux data collected by the muon detector based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine to obtain corrected muon flux data, includes: S210. Determine the energy attenuation and flux change of muon rays during their passage through the tunnel boring machine based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine.

[0036] S220. Based on energy attenuation and flux changes, the muon flux data of the tunnel collected by the muon detector is corrected.

[0037] In this embodiment, the structure of the tunnel boring machine with different densities produces different energy attenuation and flux changes in muon rays. By using quantitative indicators such as energy attenuation and flux changes to correct the muon flux data, the accuracy of the correction is improved.

[0038] In one embodiment, the step S210 above, which involves determining the energy attenuation and flux change of muon rays during their passage through the tunnel boring machine based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine, includes: The three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine was added as an independent medium layer to the muon ray imaging path model to calculate the energy attenuation and flux change of muon rays during their passage through the tunnel boring machine.

[0039] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine is introduced as an independent medium layer into the imaging path model of muon rays, so that each segment of the medium in the muon propagation path is accurately modeled, providing an accurate physical model basis for subsequent correction, thereby improving the imaging accuracy.

[0040] For example, the step S220 above, which corrects the muon flux data of the tunnel collected by the muon detector based on energy attenuation and flux change, includes: Calculate muon transmittance using the following formula: T = exp( Σ × ρ × L ); Where T is the muon transmittance, used to characterize energy attenuation and flux change; Σ is the muon mass attenuation coefficient; L is the path length of the muon ray through the tunnel boring machine; and ρ is the equivalent density of the tunnel boring machine, ρ = 7850 kg / m³.

[0041] Divide the muon flux data by the muon transmittance to obtain the corrected muon flux data.

[0042] Taking the passage of muon rays through the cutterhead of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) as an example, Σ = 0.00018 m² / kg, the path length of the muon rays through the cutterhead is L = 0.45 m, the equivalent density of the cutterhead is ρ = 7850 kg / m³, and T = exp( Σ × ρ × L) = 0.531. The measured muon flux data is 120 muons / minute. Dividing the muon flux data of 120 muons / minute by the muon transmittance of 0.531, we get the corrected muon flux data of 226 muons / minute.

[0043] In this embodiment, by correcting the muon flux data, the absorption and scattering interference of the tunnel boring machine metal on muons can be eliminated.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, before determining the energy attenuation and flux change of muon rays during their passage through the tunnel boring machine based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine in step S210 above, the imaging method further includes: S310. Based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine and the geometric information of the tunnel, determine the area that can be penetrated by muons.

[0045] S320. Determine the muon ray imaging path model based on the muon flux data corresponding to the muon-penetrable region.

[0046] In this embodiment, the areas that can be penetrated by muons are determined in advance based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine and the geometric information of the tunnel. Only the muon flux data corresponding to the areas that can be penetrated by muons are used in the muon imaging path model. The muon flux data corresponding to the undetectable areas blocked by the shield structure and surrounding rock are eliminated, which improves the imaging quality and reduces the computational complexity.

[0047] For example, the step S310 above, which determines the area that can be penetrated by muons based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine and the geometric information of the tunnel, includes: Based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine and the geometric information of the tunnel, a three-dimensional muon visible domain model is constructed. Visibility is determined for all spatial voxels in the 3D muon visibility field model to identify regions that can be penetrated by muons and regions that cannot be detected.

[0048] In this embodiment, by constructing a three-dimensional muon visibility domain model, visibility is determined for each voxel. The geometric path is used to determine whether the muon can effectively penetrate the tunnel boring machine structure to reach the spatial voxel. This clearly divides the spatial voxel into areas that can be penetrated by muons and areas that cannot be detected (areas completely blocked by the tunnel boring machine structure or surrounding rock). In the subsequent determination of the muon ray imaging path model and three-dimensional density distribution information, imaging relationships are established only for spatial voxels within the areas that can be penetrated by muons. This eliminates invalid data interference caused by undetectable areas, improves imaging quality, and reduces computational complexity.

[0049] For example, determining the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel based on the corrected muon flux data in step S130 above includes: Based on the corrected muon flux data, a muon ray imaging path-space voxel projection matrix is ​​constructed. Using regularized inversion or compressed sensing inversion methods, the corrected muon flux data and the muon ray imaging path-space voxel projection matrix are taken as inputs. The three-dimensional density of metal in each space voxel is inverted to solve for the density value of each space voxel, thereby obtaining the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel.

[0050] For example, the regularized inversion method can be the Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) iterative regularized inversion algorithm, in which the size of the spatial voxel is 0.3m×0.3m×0.3m, the number of iterations is 200, and the relaxation factor is 0.05.

[0051] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel is constructed based on the corrected muon flux data, thereby realizing the accurate reconstruction of the three-dimensional density distribution information of the geological structure in front of the tunnel boring machine's advance direction.

[0052] In one embodiment, the imaging method further includes: Based on the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel, the geological structure information of the tunnel is determined.

[0053] In this embodiment, by further processing the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel, it is converted into geological structure information of the tunnel that can be directly understood by construction personnel. This is beneficial for applying the muon imaging results to geological exploration and risk warning in shield tunneling.

[0054] For example, the types of geological structure information include at least one of the following: intact hard rock, geological boundary, fault fracture zone, weak interlayer, and cavity.

[0055] The above steps, which determine the geological structure information of the tunnel based on its three-dimensional density distribution information, include: Based on the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel, the density gradient, directional change rate, and spatial continuity of each region are calculated. Based on density gradient, directional change rate, and spatial continuity, the types of geological structural information can be identified as intact hard rock, geological boundaries, fault fracture zones, weak interlayers, or cavities.

[0056] For example, density gradient, directional change rate, and spatial continuity can be characterized by density ranges. When the density range is [2600 kg / m³, 2800 kg / m³], the type of geological structure information is identified as intact hard rock. When the density range is [2000 kg / m³, 2300 kg / m³], the type of geological structure information is identified as fault fracture zone. When the density range is [1200 kg / m³, 1800 kg / m³], the type of geological structure information is identified as weak interlayer or cavity.

[0057] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional density distribution information is transformed into complete hard rock, geological boundaries, fault fracture zones, or weak interlayers that construction personnel can directly understand through density gradient, directional change rate, and spatial continuity, providing clear geological risk warning information for construction personnel.

[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the imaging method also includes: S410. Based on the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel, determine the reliability of the tunnel's geological structure information.

[0059] S420. Determine the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel based on the reliability and geological structure information of the tunnel.

[0060] In this embodiment, the credibility determined based on the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel is introduced, so that the results of muon imaging (i.e., geological structure information) have a clear basis for quality evaluation. The three-dimensional structure model of the tunnel based on the geological structure information and its credibility can more realistically represent the real geological structure conditions of the tunnel and improve the reliability of the imaging structure.

[0061] In one embodiment, the step S420 above, which involves determining the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel based on the confidence level and the tunnel's geological structure information, includes: When the credibility meets the set credibility conditions, the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel is determined based on the current geological structure information of the tunnel.

[0062] When the credibility does not meet the set credibility conditions, the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel is determined based on the updated geological structure information of the tunnel.

[0063] In this embodiment, by determining whether the credibility meets the set credibility conditions, a three-dimensional structural model is directly generated when the credibility meets the set credibility conditions, and the geological structural information is automatically updated and iterated when the credibility does not meet the set credibility conditions. The updated geological structural information is used to determine the three-dimensional structural model, thus ensuring the reliability of the three-dimensional structural model.

[0064] For example, confidence includes at least one of the following: muon imaging path coverage, density gradient magnitude, and inversion residual stability.

[0065] The credibility meets the set credibility conditions, including at least one of the following: the muon imaging path coverage is greater than or equal to the coverage threshold, the density gradient magnitude is greater than or equal to the magnitude threshold, and the inversion residual stability is greater than or equal to the stability threshold.

[0066] In this embodiment, the coverage of the muon imaging path can reflect the sufficiency of sampling by the muon detector. The higher the coverage, the better the current geological structure information can characterize the true geological structure of the tunnel. The density gradient amplitude can reflect the clarity of the geological boundary. The higher the density gradient amplitude, the better the current geological structure information can characterize the true geological structure of the tunnel. The stability of the inversion residual reflects the stability of the three-dimensional density distribution information construction process. The better the stability of the inversion residual, the better the current geological structure information can characterize the true geological structure of the tunnel.

[0067] For example, the imaging method further includes: The tunnel boring machine's advance position, attitude angle, and construction parameters can be obtained in real time.

[0068] Based on the tunnel boring machine's advancing position, attitude angle, and construction parameters, the tunnel's penetrable area, three-dimensional density distribution information, geological structure information, and three-dimensional structural model are updated in real time.

[0069] Geological structure information obtained at different times is correlated according to time series to form a geological structure information distribution sequence.

[0070] In this embodiment, during the construction process, the tunnel boring machine's advancing position, attitude angle, and construction parameters are updated in real time. Based on this, the tunnel's penetrable area and geological structure information are updated in real time, which can ensure continuous and dynamic geological exploration capabilities for tunnel boring construction and avoid lag in geological structure information.

[0071] Embodiments of the present invention provide an imaging device for muon rays, such as... Figure 5As shown, the imaging device includes: a first determining module 501, a correction model 502, and a second determining module 503.

[0072] The first determining module 501 is configured to determine the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine, which includes the structural information and equivalent density information of the tunnel boring machine.

[0073] Correction model 502 is configured to correct the muon flux data collected by the muon detector based on the three-dimensional structural model of the tunnel boring machine (TBM), obtaining corrected muon flux data to eliminate interference caused by the TBM on the muon flux data. The muon detector is installed on the TBM. The second determining module 503 is configured to determine the three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel based on the corrected muon flux data.

[0074] The imaging apparatus for muon rays provided in the embodiments of the present invention may include the following beneficial effects: Due to the complex structure and high density of tunnel boring machines (TBMs), their cutterhead, main drive system, and metal components absorb and scatter muon rays. Therefore, by correcting the muon flux data collected by the muon detectors mounted on the TBM using a three-dimensional structural model that includes the TBM's structural information and equivalent density information, the influence of the TBM's structure and density on muon rays can be eliminated, thus eliminating the interference of the TBM on muon flux data at its source. Based on the corrected muon flux data, more accurate three-dimensional density distribution information of the tunnel can be obtained. Thus, when using muon imaging to detect the geological structure of the tunnel, the distortion in geological structure detection caused by the TBM can be eliminated.
