[0027] Example:

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A portable ground micro-seismic monitoring device includes a carrying case 1. A protective shell 2 is fixed to the upper surface of the outer wall of the carrying case 1. A front cover is rotatably connected to the front end of the protective shell 2 via a hinge. The front cover is magnetically attached to the front end of the protective shell 2. The two front covers can only be opened when force is pulled. A display device 3 is fixed inside the protective shell 2.

[0030] The lower sides of the carrying case 1 are slidably connected to protective base plates 4. The upper surface of the inner wall of the carrying case 1 is fixed with two mounting brackets 5 by mounting bolts. A support bracket 6 is fixed between the two mounting brackets 5. A symmetrical placement bracket 7 is fixed on the support bracket 6. The placement bracket 7 has multiple placement grooves. A monitoring rod 8 and a plug rod 9 are inserted into the placement grooves. There are two plug rods 9, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the monitoring rod 8. A pressing mechanism is provided above the monitoring rod 8 and the two plug rods 9. The pressing mechanism fixes the monitoring rod 8 and the plug rod 9 to the upper end of the placement bracket 7. When needed, the mounting bracket 5 and the placement bracket 7 can be removed from the inside of the carrying case 1.

[0031] Mounting blocks 10 are fixed on both sides of the lower part of the carrying case 1. Limiting bolts are threaded onto both mounting blocks 10, and the lower end of the limiting bolts is engaged with the upper surface of the protective base plate 4.

[0032] An installation tube 11 is fixed to the upper surface of the inner wall of the carrying case 1. Both sides of the installation tube 11 are threaded with fixing bolts. The installation tube 11 and the fixing bolts are used to fix the left end of the monitoring rod 8, so that the monitoring rod 8 is fixed longitudinally inside the carrying case 1 and can be inserted into the soil and contact the soil.

[0033] Both protective base plates 4 have insertion holes, and two insertion rods 9 are adapted to the insertion holes. Both protective base plates 4 have pull rods 12 fixed on their upper sides. During the monitoring process, the two insertion rods 9 pass through the insertion holes and are inserted into the soil, so that the carrying case 1 and the protective shell 2 are firmly fixed on the ground.

[0034] The lower edge of the carrying case 1 is fixed with a protective pad, which can prevent the ground from causing wear and tear on the bottom of the carrying case 1 during use.

[0035] The mounting part at one end of the monitoring rod 8 is adapted to the mounting tube 11. After inserting the left end of the monitoring rod 8 into the interior of the mounting tube 11, it is tightened by fixing bolts.

[0036] The pressing mechanism includes a support plate 13, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame 6 and spans across the monitoring rod 8. A telescopic rod 14 is fixed to the lower surface of the support plate 13, and a pressing plate 15 is fixed to the bottom end of the telescopic rod 14. A deformable rubber strip 16 is fixed to the lower surface of the pressing plate 15. A spring 17 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 14. The top end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the support plate 13, and the bottom end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressing plate 15. The lower surface of the deformable rubber strip 16 contacts the monitoring rod 8 and the two insertion rods 9. The pressing mechanism is used to press and fix the monitoring rod 8 and the insertion rods 9 to prevent them from shaking and being damaged during carrying.

[0037] Both the carrying case 1 and the protective shell 2 have wire holes on their side walls. The monitoring rod 8 is electrically connected to the display device 3 via a data cable. When the monitoring rod 8 and the display device 3 need to be used, the data cable needs to be passed through the two wire holes and electrically connected to the monitoring rod 8 and the display device 3. The data cable is not specifically shown in this application.

[0038] The monitoring rod 8 and the display device 3 are not described in detail in this application, as this part of the monitoring and transmission is prior art;

[0039] Earthquake monitoring principle: The sensors in the monitoring rod are generally accelerometers or velocity sensors. When a micro-earthquake occurs, the seismic waves cause ground vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted to the monitoring rod, causing the sensitive elements inside the sensors to move accordingly. For example, the accelerometer generates an electrical signal proportional to the acceleration of the ground vibration; the velocity sensor outputs a corresponding electrical signal based on the velocity changes of the ground vibration.

[0040] Converting to electrical signals: Based on different working principles, sensors convert mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. For example, piezoelectric accelerometers utilize the property of piezoelectric materials to generate charges when subjected to mechanical stress, converting acceleration changes caused by earthquakes into charge signals, and then into voltage signals; capacitive sensors, on the other hand, generate vibration-related electrical signals by observing the changes in the distance between capacitor plates caused by vibration, which leads to changes in capacitance.

[0041] Data transmission process

[0042] Analog signal processing: The electrical signals output by sensors are usually analog signals, which are first transmitted to the data acquisition unit of the monitoring device. In the data acquisition unit, the analog signals are amplified and filtered to improve signal quality and stability, enhance their anti-interference ability, and adjust the signal amplitude to a suitable range for subsequent digital processing.

[0043] Digital conversion: The processed analog signal is converted into a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) so that a computer or other digital processing device can process and store it. Digital signals have higher accuracy and interference resistance, facilitating subsequent analysis and transmission;

[0044] Data transmission to the display device: The digitized data is transmitted to the display device via a data cable. Shielded cables are typically used to minimize the impact of external electromagnetic interference on data transmission. During transmission, the data may employ specific encoding methods and communication protocols to ensure accurate transmission and reception. Upon receiving the data, the display device decodes, analyzes, and visualizes it using appropriate software programs, presenting the seismic monitoring data to the user in the form of waveforms, charts, or numbers, allowing the user to intuitively understand relevant information about microseismic events.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] In use, the display device 3 is fixed inside the protective shell 2, and the monitoring rod 8 is fixed inside the carrying case 1 for easy carrying. When carried to the location to be tested, the protective shell 2 and the carrying case 1 are tilted, the two lower protective base plates 4 are opened, the mounting frame 5 and the support frame 6 are removed from the carrying case 1, the pressing mechanism on the monitoring rod 8 and the insertion rod 9 is released, the left end of the monitoring rod 8 is fixed to the mounting tube 11, the lower end of the monitoring rod 8 is inserted into the soil to make contact with the soil, and the monitoring rod 8 is electrically connected to the display device 3 through the data cable. The two insertion rods 9 are inserted through the insertion holes and into the soil to reinforce the entire device. The data monitored by the monitoring rod 8 is directly displayed through the display device 3. When not in use, the insertion rods 9 and the monitoring rod 8 are installed on the upper end of the support frame 6 and fixed inside the carrying case 1 through the mounting frame 5. The two protective base plates 4 are then closed.
