Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of engineering monitoring, and particularly relates to a hole acoustic emission sensor fixing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Rock burst is a sudden disaster frequently occurring in the process of deep underground tunnel excavation, which has extremely strong destructive power and can not only seriously damage the excavation operation surface, but also pose a major threat to the safety of on-site workers. Nowadays, how to effectively prevent the occurrence of rock burst and ensure the safety of construction personnel has become a global challenge that needs to be overcome in the field of rock engineering. Therefore, it is particularly important to monitor the state of the surrounding rock mass of the tunnel in real time and accurately, which not only provides key information for predicting rock burst, but also provides necessary support for protecting the safety of workers.
[0003] According to Kaiser effect and related researches in rock mechanics, a large amount of acoustic emission signals will be released when the rock mass is damaged, and the continuous change of the acoustic emission signals is closely related to the rock mass damage process. The law can be used to predict possible geological disasters. In the actual use of acoustic emission monitoring, researchers have found that the on-site acoustic emission signals are mixed with a large amount of environmental noise signals, and the waveform signal noise reduction and identification are difficult. At the same time, the attenuation effect in the propagation process of the acoustic emission signals brings adverse effects on the waveform identification.
[0004] The in-hole acoustic emission can eliminate a part of the environmental noise signals and reduce the difficulty of waveform signal noise reduction. However, the current in-hole acoustic emission sensor adopts a positioning installation mode, and the installation depth in the hole is fixed. When the signal propagation distance is too large, the attenuation effect in the propagation process brings adverse effects on the waveform identification. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

The acoustic emission sensor is installed on the air bag. The acoustic emission sensor is fixedly connected with the acoustic emission sensor coupling device based on the fixing nut. The acoustic emission sensor coupling device is provided with a plurality of through screw holes.
[0007] Among them, the acoustic emission sensor coupling device is provided with four through screw holes, which are perpendicular to the axial direction of the acoustic emission sensor.
[0008] The acoustic emission sensor is connected with an acoustic emission host through a data transmission line.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0027] As Figure 1The illustrated fixing device for an in-hole acoustic emission sensor 2 includes: an acoustic emission sensor 2, an acoustic emission sensor coupling device 1, an airbag 7, a positioning tube 6, a fixing nut 8, and a telescopic rod 5. The positioning tube 6 is a semi-circular PVC pipe with two through-threaded holes at its bottom. The telescopic rod 5 is installed on the lower side of the positioning tube 6 using the fixing nut 8. The telescopic rod 5 allows for flexible adjustment of the monitoring position according to different measurement point requirements, fixing the acoustic emission sensor 2 at different depths within the hole. (Reference) Figure 3 Both the positioning tube 6 and the telescopic rod 5 are provided with through threaded holes, and the fixing nut 8 passes through the through threaded holes to fix the two together.
[0028] An airbag 7 is mounted on the upper side of the positioning tube 6, and is fixed to the positioning tube 6 by adhesive or other connection methods. An air tube 4 is embedded in the tail end of the airbag 7. The distance between the acoustic emission sensor 2 and the borehole wall is controlled by the degree of inflation of the airbag 7. The airbag 7 is a one-way air intake system; air entering through the air tube 4 cannot be expelled from the airbag 7 through the air tube 4. The surface of the airbag 7 is treated with abrasion-resistant rubber to prevent it from being punctured by sharp rocks inside the borehole.
[0029] An acoustic emission sensor 2 is installed on the airbag 7. The acoustic emission sensor 2 is fixedly connected to the acoustic emission sensor coupling device 1 based on the fixing nut 8. The acoustic emission sensor coupling device 1 has four through threaded holes, which are perpendicular to the axial direction of the acoustic emission sensor 2. Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the acoustic emission sensor coupling device 1 is also coated with a coupling agent. The acoustic emission sensor 2 is connected to the acoustic emission host 9 via the data transmission line 3.
[0030] The mounting device for the acoustic emission sensor 2 inside the borehole extends into the measuring point position via a telescopic rod 5. An air pump is used to inflate the air tube 4, and the gas flows through the air tube 4 into the airbag 7, ensuring the acoustic emission sensor 2 is firmly attached to the borehole wall. (Reference) Figure 2 The acoustic emission sensor 2 is connected to the host via the data transmission line 3. The host has multiple acoustic emission sensor 2 interfaces. The host has built-in post-processing software that can filter the frequency of sound waves transmitted from inside the rock by adjusting the audio threshold, filtering out noise outside the threshold. The host's built-in system can store audio within the threshold and can be remotely controlled to copy audio data in the system.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relationships such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "include," "contain," or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
