[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the in-situ coal creep deformation monitoring device includes a slot 18, which is a cubic groove excavated in situ in the coal body to be monitored. An axial pressure loading cylinder 5 is placed on the bottom surface of the slot 18, and a rigid pressure-bearing base 4 is placed on the top surface of the axial pressure loading cylinder 5. A coal body sample 1 is placed in the middle of the rigid pressure-bearing base 4, and strain gauges 7 are installed on the side of the coal body sample 1. A telescopic fixing bracket 3 is installed around the rigid pressure-bearing base 4, and the top of the telescopic fixing bracket 3 contacts the top surface of the slot 18. A pressure sensor 6 is placed on the top surface of the coal body sample 1, and the top surface of the pressure sensor 6 contacts the top surface of the slot 18. The top surface of the slot 18 is in contact with the telescopic fixed bracket 3, which abuts against the side wall of the pressure sensor 6. Four through circular holes are opened at the four corners of the rigid pressure-bearing base 4. All slots are opened at the positions opposite to the circular through holes on the bottom surface of the slot 18. Limit bolts 8 are installed in the corresponding circular through holes and slots. A stress collector 2 is installed at the bottom of the drill hole near the slot 18. The stress collector 2, pressure sensor 6 and strain gauge 7 are all electrically connected to the pressure control monitor 10 through wires 9. The pressure control monitor 10 is electrically connected to a display 11. The axial pressure loading cylinder 5 is connected to a hydraulic pump 12 through a hydraulic pipe 13.
[0023] Preferably, the number of telescopic fixing brackets 3 is four, and the line connecting the four telescopic fixing brackets 3 at the same position is a square; the line connecting the four circular through holes at the same position is a square, and the line connecting the four slots at the same position is a square.
[0024] The coal sample 1 was directly sampled and processed on-site, preserving as much of the original physical and mechanical properties as possible to improve the accuracy and representativeness of the monitoring data. The surface of the coal sample 1 is smooth and free of obvious cracks to ensure the accuracy of the test results. Preferably, the dimensions of the slot 18 are 300mm × 300mm × 300mm, and the coal sample 1 is cylindrical with a diameter of 50mm and a height of 100mm.
[0025] In the specific implementation, firstly, a cut 18 with dimensions of 300mm × 300mm × 300mm is excavated at a suitable location on both sides of the roadway. The location of the cut 18 should not affect underground operations such as construction and transportation. The top and bottom surfaces of the cut 18 need to be cut flat, and the extracted coal sample is processed into a cylindrical coal body sample 1 with a diameter of 50mm and a height of 100mm. Then, a hole (10m to 20m deep) is drilled at a distance of no more than 1m from the cut 18, and a stress acquisition device 2 is installed at the bottom of the hole. The stress acquisition device 2 is connected to the pressure control monitoring instrument 10 through the wire 9. Next, the axial pressure loading cylinder 5 is placed on the bottom surface of the cut 18 and connected to the hydraulic pump 12 using a hydraulic pipe 13. Four sets of equally spaced slots are drilled around the axial pressure loading cylinder 5 on the bottom surface of the cut 18. A rigid pressure-bearing base 4 is installed directly above the axial pressure loading cylinder 5, with the surfaces of the two tightly fitted. Four limiting bolts 8 are inserted into the circular through hole and slots. Subsequently, the coal sample 1 is placed on the rigid pressure-bearing base 4, and the telescopic fixing bracket 3 is adjusted to ensure that the bottom surface of the pressure sensor 6 is in close contact with the coal sample 1, and the top surface is in close contact with the top surface of the slot 18. The side of the coal sample 1 is in contact with the strain gauge 7, and the strain gauge 7 and the pressure sensor 6 are connected to the pressure control monitoring instrument 10 through the wires 9. After checking that all the wires 9 and hydraulic pipes 13 are properly connected, the display 11 is turned on to view the internal stress value of the coal seam recorded by the stress acquisition device 2. The hydraulic pump 12 is started to inject hydraulic oil into the axial pressure loading cylinder 5 until the reading on the display 11 reaches the internal stress value of the coal seam recorded by the stress acquisition device 2, at which point the oil injection is stopped. At this time, the axial pressure loading cylinder 5 achieves pressure balance with the stress acquisition device 2 through the hydraulic pipe 13. Finally, the position of the rigid pressure-bearing base 4 is fixed with a nut, and the creep deformation (determined based on the data collected by the strain gauge 7) and stress change (determined based on the data collected by the pressure sensor 6) of the coal sample 1 are recorded by the pressure control monitoring instrument 10.
[0026] The top surface of coal sample 1 is in close contact with the bottom surface of pressure sensor 6, and the bottom surface is in close contact with the top surface of rigid pressure-bearing base 4, ensuring uniform stress on coal sample 1. The bottom of limiting bolt 8 is firmly connected to the bottom surface of slot 18, ensuring the stability of the entire device. The top surface of coal sample 1 is in close contact with the bottom surface of pressure sensor 6, the bottom surface is in close contact with the top surface of rigid pressure-bearing base 4, and the side surface is in contact with strain gauge 7, ensuring the accuracy of stress and strain measurements. The top surface of axial pressure loading cylinder 5 is close to the bottom surface of rigid pressure-bearing base 4, and the bottom surface is close to the bottom surface of slot 18, ensuring uniform and stable applied pressure.
[0027] In one specific embodiment, the telescopic fixing bracket 3 includes a guide cylinder 16, which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the rigid pressure-bearing base 4. A weak spring 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner side of the guide cylinder 16, with its bottom end fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner side of the guide cylinder 16. A guide rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the weak spring 14, and the guide rod 15 is slidably connected to the guide cylinder 16. The top of the guide rod 15 contacts the top surface of the slot 18. A clamp 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the guide cylinder 16, abutting against the top of the side wall of the pressure sensor 6, and the clamp 17 abutting against the bottom of the side wall of the pressure sensor 6. Specifically, the clamp 17 is a square rod-shaped or cylindrical structure. The abutting between the top of the side wall of the guide cylinder 16 and the bottom contact between the clamp 17 and the side wall of the pressure sensor 6 ensures effective fixation and support for the coal sample 6. The weak spring 14 provides soft support for the axial pressure loading process of the axial pressure loading cylinder 5.
[0028] In one specific embodiment, the pressure sensor 6 and the axial pressure loading cylinder 5 are symmetrically positioned relative to the coal sample 1 to ensure uniform stress on the coal sample 1 and accuracy of the pressure test results.
[0029] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0030] 1. With a moderate size and convenient operation, it allows multiple monitoring points to be set up in the same mining area for synchronous recording and on-site data collection. It can not only continuously monitor the creep deformation of coal in coal seam roadways for a long time, ensuring the integrity and reliability of data collection, but also obtain the common deformation of coal based on the data records of multiple monitoring points.
[0031] 2. The device employs robust structural components such as a rigid pressure-bearing base 4 and a telescopic fixing bracket 3 to ensure optimal operation even in complex underground environments. The use of limit bolts 8 further enhances the overall stability of the device, guaranteeing the accuracy of test results even under high ground stress conditions.
[0032] 3. Coal sample 1 was directly sampled and processed on-site, realizing on-site sampling, preserving the original physical and mechanical properties of the sample as much as possible, reducing sample damage, and being in the original rock stress environment consistent with the actual geological conditions for a long time, providing more real and reliable data for coal mine gas control, and helping to formulate more scientific and reasonable gas control measures.
[0033] 4. It can be adjusted according to different site conditions. For example, the position of the slot 18 and the stress acquisition device 2 can be adjusted, and the axial force applied by the axial pressure loading cylinder 5 can be adjusted. It is suitable for monitoring the creep deformation and stress changes of coal body in coal seam roadways at different times, providing reliable data support for optimizing gas control measures, thereby ensuring safe and efficient mining.
[0034] In summary, this utility model aims to address the adverse effects of coal creep deformation on gas control during long-term static storage in deep coal seams. It designs a simple, easy-to-operate, and long-term applicable in-situ coal creep deformation monitoring device, overcoming many shortcomings of existing technologies in on-site monitoring of coal creep deformation, such as low monitoring accuracy, complex operation, and difficulty in achieving long-term stable monitoring. This provides reliable data support for optimizing gas control measures, thereby ensuring safe and efficient mining.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
