Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mining engineering technology, specifically relating to a mine underground debris flow hazard analysis test device with flexible structure, comprehensive data, and high experimental repeatability. Background Technology
[0002] Debris flows in mines are a major hidden danger to mine safety due to their suddenness and destructive power. During their movement underground, debris flows can cause enormous impact and damage to roadways, support structures, equipment, and facilities, and may even trigger secondary disasters, seriously threatening the safety of underground production personnel and equipment, and causing huge economic losses and safety risks to mining enterprises.
[0003] Currently, research on underground debris flow hazards mainly relies on two methods: field observation and numerical simulation. While field observation can obtain actual disaster data, it is limited by the complex geological conditions underground and the limitations of observation methods, making it difficult to comprehensively and systematically capture the dynamic process of underground debris flows and their destructive effects on the surrounding environment. Furthermore, due to the dangerous and uncontrollable underground environment, field observation is difficult to implement, resulting in high data acquisition costs. Numerical simulation methods simulate the transport process of underground debris flows using computer models. While it can predict the movement patterns of debris flows to some extent, the accuracy of the results is highly dependent on the precision of the model parameters and the setting of boundary conditions. The formation and transport of underground debris flows involve complex problems such as multiphase flow and non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, making it difficult for existing numerical simulations to fully reflect the actual physical characteristics of underground debris flows, especially their impact force and destructive effects on tunnel structures, thus limiting their application.
[0004] Therefore, developing an experimental device capable of simulating the occurrence process of underground debris flow disasters in the laboratory to obtain data on the formation and transport process of underground debris flows is of great significance for the study of underground debris flow disasters.

Several inlets 8 are provided at intervals on the side walls of debris flow material silo Ⅰ1 and debris flow material silo Ⅱ2 facing the transport channel.

The high-speed image acquisition unit and each sensor monitoring unit 7 are electrically connected to the computer.
[0032] The cross-sections of transport channels I3, II4, and III5 are all rectangular, C-shaped, or U-shaped open structures, and both ends of transport channels I3, II4, and III5 are open structures.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer walls of the debris flow material silo I1 and debris flow material silo II2 are also equipped with adjustment plates 9 at each inlet 8. The adjustment plate 9 includes a slot 91, an inlet baffle 92, and a baffle handle 93. The slots 91 are vertically fixed to the outer walls on both sides of each inlet 8.

[0037] The acceleration sensor I75 is located at the bottom of one end of the transport channel I3 away from the impact sensor I73, and the acceleration sensor II76 is located at the bottom of one end of the transport channel II4 away from the impact sensor II74, respectively, to monitor the dynamic changes in acceleration of the debris flow flowing out from one side entrance 8 and simultaneously flowing out from both sides entrance 8.
[0038] The pressure sensor I 71, pressure sensor II 72, impact force sensor I 73, impact force sensor II 74, acceleration sensor I 75, and acceleration sensor II 76 are electrically connected to the data acquisition instrument 77 via data connection cable 78, and the data acquisition instrument 77 is electrically connected to the computer via data connection cable 78.
[0039] like Figure 5As shown, the sensing surfaces of the accelerometer I 75 and the accelerometer II 76 face their respective debris flow transport directions and are parallel to each other; a pad 79 is placed below each of the accelerometer I 75 and the accelerometer II 76; the accelerometer I 75 and the accelerometer II 76 are respectively fixed to the bottom of the corresponding transport channel I 3 and transport channel II 4 by fixing clips 7A.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the high-speed image acquisition unit includes at least one high-speed image acquisition instrument 6. Each high-speed image acquisition instrument 6 is placed at intervals on the ground outside the transport channel Ⅲ5, and the camera is tilted downwards and aimed at the transport channel Ⅲ5 to capture the debris flow transport process.
[0041] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the two inlets 8 on the side walls of the debris flow material silo I1 and debris flow material silo II2 facing the transport channel II4 are staggered.
[0042] The debris flow material silo I1 has inlets IIA85, IIB86, IIC87, and IID88 spaced apart on its side wall facing the transport channel II4. The debris flow material silo II2 has inlets IIIA89, IIIB8A, IIIC8B, and IIID8C spaced apart on its side wall facing the transport channel II4. Inlets IIA85, IIB86, IIC87, and IID88 are respectively offset from inlets IIIA89, IIIB8A, IIIC8B, and IIID8C.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the debris flow material silo I1 has inlets IA81, IB82, IC83, and ID84 spaced apart on its side wall facing the transport channel I3, and the debris flow material silo II2 has inlets IVA, IVB, IVC, and IDD spaced apart on its side wall facing the transport channel III5.
[0044] The working principle and process of this utility model:
[0045] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the experimental procedure is as follows:
[0046] 1. Place the test apparatus horizontally on the ground or a table. Then, place the high-speed image acquisition instrument 6 horizontally outside the transport channel Ⅲ5, ensuring that the height of the high-speed image acquisition instrument 6 is slightly higher than the highest point of the apparatus to achieve the best shooting angle. Adjust the operating parameters of each sensor and data acquisition instrument 77 according to their requirements to ensure they are in working order. Close the inlet baffles 92 at each inlet 8 to create enclosed spaces in both debris flow material silos Ⅰ1 and Ⅱ2.
[0047] 2. Prepare debris flow slurry according to the experimental plan, and then fill the prepared slurry into debris flow material bins I1 and II2 respectively. The slurry level should reach at least 3 / 4 of the bin height to ensure the continuity and stability of the debris flow during the experiment. The slurry filling process should be completed within 5 minutes to avoid segregation or stratification due to prolonged settling time.
[0048] 3. According to the experimental design, slide the corresponding inlet baffle 92 upwards to open the corresponding inlet 8 (the inlet baffle 92 must slide upwards simultaneously to ensure that the debris flow material enters the corresponding transport channel evenly from the material bin). Simultaneously, collect corresponding data and images using pressure sensors, impact sensors, acceleration sensors, and the high-speed image acquisition instrument 6. Specifically, sliding the inlet baffle 92 upwards to open half of the inlet 8 can simulate a small amount of debris flow entering the mine roadway; sliding the inlet baffle 92 upwards to fully open the inlet 8 can simulate a large amount of debris flow entering the mine roadway. Opening the inlet 8 only intermittently on the same side (e.g., opening inlet IA81 and inlet IC83, and closing inlet IB82 and inlet ID84) can simulate a small amount of debris flow intermittently entering the mine roadway from the ore discharge outlet; opening all inlet 8 on the same side can simulate a large amount of debris flow simultaneously entering the roadway.
[0049] 4. After the debris flow has completely stopped moving, data acquisition is stopped and uploaded to the computer. The computer processes and analyzes the images and data, extracting the flow characteristics, deposition morphology, and transport patterns of the debris flow, and analyzing the velocity distribution and flow field characteristics. Pressure sensor data is processed and analyzed to assess the mechanical impact of the debris flow on the bottom structure of the ore discharge tunnel; impact force sensor data is processed and analyzed to assess the impact of the debris flow on the tunnel structure; and acceleration sensor data is processed and analyzed to assess the acceleration changes during the debris flow's movement. This allows for the study of the variation patterns of physical parameters (such as impact force and acceleration) in debris flows of different concentrations and ratios.
[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
