Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of detection and risk warning technology for defects in water-rich tunnels, and in particular to a noise-induced energy-harvesting advanced cavity geological inversion device and method for water-rich tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] During operation and construction, water-rich tunnels are subjected to high hydrostatic pressure and dynamic water erosion for extended periods, making them highly susceptible to hidden defects such as cavities, solution cavities, and loose zones. Once these defects become unstable, they can cause sudden water and mud inrushes, tunnel face collapses, or even ground subsidence within hours, seriously threatening construction safety and subsequent operation.
[0003] Current advanced geological forecasting methods mainly rely on transient electromagnetic, ground-penetrating radar, or artificial blasting sonic wave methods. Transient electromagnetic and ground-penetrating radar signals attenuate drastically in water-rich and high-conductivity environments, and their resolution decreases sharply with increasing water content. Artificial blasting sonic waves require the placement of explosives or heavy hammers, which is a complex process with high safety risks and consumes a large amount of additional electrical energy. Traditional sonic wave equipment requires an external high-power transmitter, which makes cable laying difficult, resulting in high energy consumption and carbon emissions, making it difficult to meet the requirements of green and low-carbon construction.
[0004] As tunnel construction progresses, low carbon has become a core keyword and a competitive advantage for high-quality development in tunnel engineering. How to conduct advanced detection of cavities in water-rich environments using a method that requires "zero artificial seismic sources and zero additional energy consumption" has become a critical technical bottleneck that the industry urgently needs to overcome.

For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.
[0027] One embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention provides a noise-induced energy-harvesting advanced cavity geological inversion device for water-rich tunnels, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the system includes: a sound-gathering unit for gathering multi-source noise from the tunnel environment; a resonant cavity connected to the sound-gathering unit, whose resonant frequency is adjustable for frequency selection and sound pressure amplification of multi-source noise; a beamforming unit connected to the resonant cavity for spatial directional control and spectrum reconstruction of the amplified sound waves to form directional sound waves; a sound wave transmitter 5 connected to the beamforming unit for radiating the directional sound waves, i.e., processed sound waves 11-4, to the rock mass to be measured in front of the tunnel face; a sound wave receiver 6 for receiving the echo signal backscattered by the rock mass; and a signal processing unit connected to the sound wave receiver 6 for inverting the three-dimensional distribution of cavities in front of the tunnel face based on the echo signal and generating early warning information. The tunnel face refers to the working face that advances during tunnel excavation, i.e., the rock and soil wall that is being excavated and continuously moving forward in the tunnel.
[0028] The sound collection unit includes a sound collection cover 1, which is a trapezoidal body made of metal. Its larger diameter end faces the tunnel environment, while its smaller diameter end connects to the subsequent resonant cavity. In this embodiment, the sound collection cover 1 is used to collect blast vibration noise 11-1, mechanical vibration noise 11-2, and airflow noise 11-3. This trapezoidal structure can efficiently collect blast vibration noise 11-1, mechanical vibration noise 11-2, and airflow noise 11-3 from different directions, achieving wide-angle noise convergence and providing sufficient sound source input for subsequent sound energy conversion.
[0029] The device also includes a housing 2, which is made of waterproof metal and is used to encapsulate the internal components and provide waterproof and dustproof protection. The resonant cavity is encapsulated inside the housing, the beamforming unit is embedded around the housing 2, the acoustic transmitter 5 is hinged to the housing via a quick-release structure, and the acoustic receiver 6 is embedded in the back plate of the housing 2.
[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the resonant cavity is a Helmholtz resonant cavity. One opening of the Helmholtz resonant cavity is connected to the inner side of the sound collecting cover 1. The Helmholtz resonant cavity structure 3 includes the resonant cavity, a bracket 3-1 fixed to the device housing 2, a fixed diaphragm 3-2 at the input end of the resonant cavity, a dustproof grille 3-3 at the input end of the diaphragm 3-2, and a sound wave output end 3-4 at the output end of the resonant cavity. The resonant cavity contains 30 resonant chambers. The bracket 3-1 is fixed to the inner wall of the device housing 2 and has a frame-like structure. The diaphragm 3-2 is a square thin film, and each diaphragm 3-2 is pressed and fixed by adjacent brackets 3-1. This multi-layered diaphragm 3-2 and chamber structure can perform preliminary screening and amplification of broadband noise, while the dustproof grille 3-3 effectively protects the internal precision structure, improving the reliability of the device in harsh tunnel environments.
[0031] Preferably, the Helmholtz resonator employs a neck-to-cavity ratio adjustable structure, with the neck length to cavity volume ratio continuously adjustable between 1:8 and 1:12. This is used to lock onto the dominant frequency noise of water-rich tunnels, achieving noise gain and output. Therefore, it can dynamically match the dominant frequency noise characteristics according to different tunnels and different construction stages, realizing the transformation from "broad-spectrum collection" to "precise locking," greatly improving noise capture and conversion efficiency. The resonant frequency of the Helmholtz resonator... Uniquely determined by equation (1): In the formula: c is the speed of sound, S is the cross-sectional area of the neck, and V is the volume of the cavity. For neck length, Δ =0.85r1 is the end correction amount, and r1 is the neck radius.
[0032] like Figure 3As shown, the beamforming unit is an acoustic rainbow scatterer 4, which has a barrel-shaped structure. The acoustic rainbow scatterer 4 includes a pre-processing noise inlet 4-1, a fixing ring 4-2, a scattering ridge 4-3, a dust cover 4-4, and an acoustic wave outlet 4-5. The acoustic rainbow scatterer 4 is fixed to the outer wall of the housing by the fixing ring 4-2. The pre-processing noise inlet 4-1 and the acoustic wave outlet 4-5 are located at the inner end of the acoustic rainbow scatterer 4. The dust cover 4-4 is located at the outer end of the acoustic rainbow scatterer 4. The scattering ridge 4-3 is located inside the acoustic rainbow scatterer 4 and is used to reprocess the pre-processed noise from the Helmholtz resonator and achieve beamforming. The dust cover 4-4 has an arc-shaped mesh structure and is used to block... Dust and other particulate matter are prevented from entering the diffuser. The scattering ridge 4-3 is a sealed metal sound guide tube that is spirally distributed along the inner wall of the acoustic rainbow diffuser 4. The inlet end of the scattering ridge 4-3 is sealed to the pre-processed noise inlet 4-1, and the outlet end of the scattering ridge 4-3 is sealed to the sound wave outlet 4-5. The pre-processed noise inlet 4-1 is a short tube sound guide, and the diameter of the pre-processed noise inlet 4-1 matches the end of the first sound guide rod 9. One end of the pre-processed noise inlet 4-1 is connected to the Helmholtz resonant cavity through the first sound guide rod 9. The sound wave outlet 4-5 is connected to the sound wave transmitter 5 through the second sound guide rod, so that the pre-processed noise is reprocessed and shaped inside the acoustic rainbow diffuser 4 and then directionally output to the sound wave transmitter 5 through the sound wave outlet 4-5.
[0033] Because the noise sources in the tunnel are numerous, with mixed frequencies and random directions, directly using existing materials would not be sufficient to form an effective detection beam. The Helmholtz resonator first extracts and amplifies the energy of the main frequencies. Then, the acoustic rainbow scatterer 4, through its spatial structure, reorganizes these sound waves into a directional, wavefront-aligned detection beam. This allows the entire device to form a complete acoustic wave manipulation chain without relying on an external power source. From the frequency-selective amplification of the resonator to the spatial shaping of the scatterer, and finally to the directional output of the transmitter, the entire process is a purely acoustic path, without any "sound-to-electricity-to-sound" conversion losses. This structural coordination enables the device to truly achieve zero additional energy consumption. The acoustic rainbow scatterer 4 plays a crucial role in this chain, receiving the energy from the resonator and preparing a high-quality signal for the transmitter. Furthermore, the design fully considers the harsh environment of the tunnel site. The acoustic rainbow diffuser 4 employs a barrel-shaped sealed structure, rigidly connected to the pre- and post-amplifier stages via a short tube sound inlet. This ensures both the airtightness of sound wave transmission and prevents energy leakage. A dust cover at the inlet also blocks rock debris and water mist. This design allows a relatively delicate acoustic structure to operate stably for extended periods in the dusty, humid, and vibrating environment of a tunnel, truly demonstrating its engineering practicality.
[0034] The core advantage of this beamforming unit lies in its spirally distributed scattering ridge 4-3 structure, which can generate different phase delays for sound waves of different frequencies, thereby achieving two-dimensional modulation of space and frequency. This allows the originally diffuse noise energy to be reconstructed into a highly directional acoustic beam, significantly improving the penetration depth and detection resolution of sound waves in rock masses. Specifically, addressing the inherent characteristics of broadband, multi-source, and chaotic incident direction noise in tunnel environments, this device abandons the traditional design path of relying on narrowband signals with a single phased array or single reflector. Instead, it adopts a radially height-gradient scattering ridge structure to form a gradient refractive index acoustic lens effect, achieving spatial decoupling and wavefront reconstruction of broadband sound waves, significantly improving energy focusing efficiency and beam directivity. Simultaneously, the spirally distributed sealed metal sound guide tube and the aluminum-magnesium alloy sound guide rod are rigidly coupled, ensuring low-loss sound transmission. Through modular packaging and dustproof and corrosion-resistant structures, it effectively adapts to the complex working conditions of high dust, high humidity, and strong vibration in tunnels, ensuring the acoustic stability and engineering reliability of the beamforming unit under long-term service conditions.
[0035] The height h(r) of the scattering ridge 4-3 of the acoustic rainbow diffuser 4 along the radial direction r2 satisfies equation (2): In the formula: h0 is the minimum ridge height, R is the curvature coefficient, R1 is the outer radius of the scatterer, and 0 ≤ r2 ≤ R1.
[0036] Among them, the first acoustic guide rod 9 and the second acoustic guide rod are aluminum-magnesium alloy rods, which are used to transmit sound waves along the rods with low loss.
[0037] The acoustic wave emitter 5 includes an acoustic reflector, preferably a fan-shaped metal acoustic reflector that can be finely adjusted within ±15° pitch angle to adapt to different tunnel face inclination angles. This allows the device to flexibly adapt to the complex and ever-changing geometry of the tunnel face, ensuring that directional sound waves always incident at the optimal angle and minimizing energy loss. The far-field sound pressure level gain G of the acoustic wave emitter 5 is given by equation (3): Where R2 is the radius of the funnel, r0 is the reference distance, and S2 / S1 is the ratio of the outlet area to the inlet area.
[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the acoustic receiver 6 includes a cylindrical housing, several echo receiving modules 6-1, a signal processing module 6-2, and connecting lines 6-3. The echo receiving module 6-1 is a stainless steel grid substrate acoustic window mesh coated with a polyurethane protective coating. The echo receiving module 6-1 is located at the wave-facing end of the cylindrical housing and is used to receive the echoes 11-5 backscattered by the rock mass. This multi-layer grid structure combined with the polyurethane coating can achieve highly selective coupling reception and low-loss transmission of weak echo signals, while effectively resisting the erosion of rock debris and water mist, ensuring the sensitivity and long-term stability of the receiver. The signal processing module 6-2 and the echo receiving module 6-1 are installed inside the cylindrical chamber. The signal processing module 6-2 and the echo receiving module 6-1 are connected. The signal processing module 6-2 is used to receive the backscattered echo 11-5 from the rock mass and process it in real time. The signal processing module 6-2 is electrically connected to the control platform 10 through the connecting line 6-3 and saves the processed echo signal to the control platform 10. The echo signal received by the acoustic receiver 6 is processed by the three-dimensional inversion model of the cavity in equation (4): In the formula: The three-dimensional coordinates of any point within the rock mass; Let A be the three-dimensional density distribution of the cavity to be determined, and let b be the sound wave propagation operator and b be the measured echo vector. The regularization coefficient is . Here, b is the total variation regularization term, and b is the calibrated frequency domain echo amplitude vector. It is a frequency domain signal amplitude, This is the system gain, used to normalize the amplitude to eliminate the effects of the transmitter and receiver frequency responses. The time-domain signal recorded by acoustic receiver 6 includes the rock mass echo sound pressure. and environmental noise The convolution result is simultaneously affected by the receiver impulse response. The impact.
[0039] The signal processing unit includes an interface 7, which is connected to the connection line 6-3, used to implement the modular configuration of the interface 7, provide flexibility for the whole machine interface 7, and be used to externally connect a data processing unit 8 to perform void three-dimensional inversion imaging and risk warning. The signal processing unit integrates a total variation regularization inversion algorithm, and its advantage is that it can stably reconstruct the boundary and density distribution of the void under noise interference, significantly improving the accuracy and robustness of the inversion. The specific configuration of the signal processing unit is: inversely calculate the three-dimensional density distribution of the void based on the total variation regularization model, and comprehensively calculate the risk index according to the distance between the void and the heading face and the density, so as to achieve risk zoning warning.
[0040] Specifically, the data processing unit 8 can be connected to the device through the interface 7, used to reprocess and image the received echo signal, generate a three-dimensional density distribution map, and achieve void three-dimensional inversion and warning; when the distance d between the void and the heading face satisfies equation (5): In the formula: d is the warning distance, is the inversion calculation domain, is the density threshold for void determination; is the three-dimensional density distribution value of any point inside the rock mass obtained by inversion through the total variation regularization model, is the preset density threshold for void determination. The two establish a logical relationship through the inequality ≥ : If the density value of a certain point ≥ , then this point is determined to belong to the void area; if the density value of < the nearest point to the heading face reference point, and define this minimum distance as the warning distance d.
[0041] The comprehensive risk index is given by equation (6): In the formula: is the volume weight, is the distance weight, and the risk zoning is only determined by the size of R: R < R1 is the low-risk area; R1 ≤ R < R2 is the medium-risk area; R ≥ R2 is the high-risk area; where , is the theoretical maximum risk index, is an empirical constant and , , α < .
[0042] This risk warning mechanism comprehensively considers two key factors: the size and distance of the cavity, enabling quantitative assessment and graded early warning of geological disaster risks, and providing a more scientific and intuitive basis for construction decisions.
[0043] The device also includes a control platform 10, which is used to realize the device's self-test, parameter initialization and early warning trigger control.
[0044] In summary, this invention, through the synergistic effect of a sound-collecting unit, an adjustable resonant cavity, a beamforming unit, a sound wave transmitting and receiving unit, and a signal processing unit, constructs a complete technical chain from "environmental noise capture → acoustic energy purification and amplification → directional beamforming → rock mass detection → echo inversion → risk warning." Its advantages are: 1) It achieves advanced geological exploration with zero artificial seismic sources and zero additional energy consumption, significantly reducing construction energy consumption and carbon emissions; 2) Through frequency tunability and beamforming technology, it solves the problems of signal attenuation and low resolution in water-rich environments using traditional methods; 3) The integrated inversion and early warning mechanism directly transforms the detection results into operable engineering risk indicators, improving the safety and intelligence level of tunnel construction.

Back up and analyze the collected data and the generated three-dimensional density distribution map of cavities to provide geological basis for tunnel engineering.
