The traditional method of mine geological stability assessment is generally to conduct manual measurements on the ground, collect geological data, and then conduct graphic analysis and expert evaluation. This method is labor-intensive, inefficient, and may cause errors due to human factors, affecting the accuracy of the assessment results.
[0003] In recent years, drones, as a new type of aerial measurement equipment, are gradually being widely used in many fields, including geological exploration, geographic information collection, environmental monitoring, etc. When flying in the air, drones can obtain a full range of views of the ground, and the sensor equipment they carry can collect data efficiently, making them very suitable for geological stability assessment.
[0004] However, the drones currently on the market mainly use cameras for visual observation and detection, and cannot directly provide the high-precision geological data required for geological stability assessment, such as surface elevation, geological cracks and other information. In addition, the pictures or video data taken by drones need to be manually analyzed and processed, which is inefficient and easily affected by human factors. There is a possibility of misunderstanding and misjudgment, and the time and labor costs are high. There are also doubts about whether they can provide accurate geological stability assessment results.
[0005] Therefore, the existing UAVs cannot fully meet the needs of mine geological stability assessment and need further improvement and optimization.

The laser scanning sensor 2 is electrically connected to a control module on the UAV platform 1, and the control module controls the start, stop and scanning speed of the laser scanning sensor 2.
[0009] Furthermore, the device also includes a data processing system 3, which wirelessly communicates with the laser scanning sensor 2 on the drone platform 1 and receives data collected by the sensor.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the measuring device includes a UAV platform 1 and a laser scanning sensor 2;
[0024] The drone platform 1 is used to carry the entire device and is responsible for stable flight. The drone platform 1 includes a multi-axis aircraft structure, on which a laser scanning sensor 2 is installed. The laser scanning sensor 2 is electrically connected to a control module on the drone platform 1, and the control module controls the start, stop and scanning speed of the laser scanning sensor 2. The drone platform 1 is composed of a multi-axis aircraft structure and is provided with an installation position for the laser scanning sensor 2. It serves as a carrier to transport the laser scanning sensor 2 to the area where geological stability assessment is required. The electronic control module of the drone platform 1 can control the rotation speed of each axis, so that the drone can fly stably in the air.
[0025] Laser scanning sensor 2: Installed on the UAV platform 1, it can perform 360-degree geological scanning without blind spots, and measure the geometric shape of the geological surface and geological cracks with high precision. The laser scanning sensor 2 is electrically connected through the control module on the UAV platform 1, and the control module controls its start, stop and scanning speed. Leica ScanStation series: This is a series of laser scanning sensors developed by Leica Geosystems, including models such as P50, P40, and P30. These devices have high-precision and long-distance scanning capabilities and are widely used in construction, civil engineering, mining and other fields.
[0026] The device also includes a data processing system 3, which wirelessly communicates with the laser scanning sensor 2 on the drone platform 1 and receives data collected by the sensor. The data processing system 3 includes a geographic information system GIS software for displaying the processed data in the form of geographic information. It is used to receive and process the data collected by the laser scanning sensor 2 to generate information that is helpful for geological stability assessment, such as a height map of the geological surface, a soil type distribution map, etc. The data processing system 3 includes a geographic information system GIS software for displaying the processed data in the form of geographic information.
[0027] The measuring device further includes a wireless data transmission module 4, through which the laser scanning sensor 2 is connected to the data processing system 3. The function of the wireless data transmission module 4 is to provide a wireless communication connection between the laser scanning sensor 2 and the data processing system 3. In this way, the measuring device can transmit the geological data collected by the laser scanning sensor 2 to the data processing system 3 in real time during operation, thereby achieving real-time assessment of the stability of the mine geology and improving the efficiency and accuracy of the assessment.

The power supply implementation method of the laser scanning sensor 2 is powered by a drone battery. In contrast, this power supply method is relatively independent, avoiding interference with the flight stability of the drone due to power supply problems. At the same time, by providing a voltage regulating protection circuit 5 between the drone battery output port and the laser scanning sensor 2 power supply port, it can effectively prevent equipment damage caused by voltage instability, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the device.
[0029] The measuring device is also provided with a dustproof protective cover 6, which is installed outside the laser probe of the laser scanning sensor 2 to protect the laser probe. The measuring device is provided with a dustproof protective cover 6 outside the laser probe of the laser scanning sensor 2.

This protective measure is of great significance for extending the service life of the laser probe and ensuring measurement accuracy. Such a design makes the device more stable and reliable when performing tasks, improves work efficiency, and is safer.
[0030] Working principle: The laser scanning sensor 2 mounted on the multi-axis drone is carried for flight, and the start, stop and scanning speed of the laser scanning sensor 2 are controlled by the control module to achieve 360-degree geological scanning without blind spots, and collect high-precision geological surface geometry and geological cracks and other information.
