Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of experimental devices for mining materials, and particularly provides a thermal test device and method for simulating the entire process of large-flow injection of mining materials.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the technology of preventing mud leakage and filling with mining materials has been widely applied in China, significantly improving the production conditions of mines. Its main application scope includes filling various abandoned mine shafts, chambers, coal chutes, caves, and blocking air leakage passages, etc. Usually, more than two types of mining materials are required for filling solutions. During the filling process, after injecting different mining materials into the target area respectively, the different mining materials react and harden in the target area, releasing heat during the reaction process. The thermal conductivity performance of the mining materials themselves is not favorable, heat continues to accumulate, and the problem of high-temperature sites often occurs. High temperature not only affects the performance of the materials themselves but also affects the surrounding coal.

[0003] Currently, most research focuses on the heat generation performance of the materials themselves and does not consider the impact on the spontaneous combustion state of the surrounding coal during the injection process. In particular, in the case of coal mines, the heat generated during the large-flow injection process of mining materials cannot be simulated to affect the surrounding coal, and the detection of heat under various conditions (flow rate, mixing ratio, etc.) during the filling process cannot be realized.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Therefore, how to study and measure the influence of the heat dissipation process and the change of the stress strain of the material on the surrounding coal after the filling injection is completed under conditions such as various grout injection speeds, various mining materials, various cavity volumes, and various surrounding environments is an urgent research topic in the coal mining industry.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions used in the present invention are as follows: A thermal testing apparatus for simulating the entire process of high-flow injection of mining materials, comprising a heat-insulating tank, a coal sample tank, an injection chamber, a side temperature sensor and a bottom temperature sensor, wherein the coal sample tank is assembled inside the heat-insulating tank, the injection chamber is provided inside the coal sample tank, a plurality of side temperature sensors are provided on the side wall of the coal sample tank, the plurality of side temperature sensors are connected to an external computer system, a material transport pipe is inserted inside the coal sample tank, one end of the material transport pipe extends into the injection chamber, the other end of the material transport pipe extends outside through the heat-insulating tank and the coal sample tank and is connected to an external material supply unit. The bottom temperature sensor extends through the insulation tank and the coal sample tank into the pressurization chamber.

[0006] An optical fiber sensor is fitted in an annular manner into the inner wall of the press-fit chamber.

[0007] A pressure sensor is further provided within the press-fit chamber.

[0008] A relief valve is provided on the outside of the aforementioned heat-insulating tank, and the relief valve is connected to the pressurization chamber by a pipeline.

[0009] The multiple side temperature sensors are evenly divided into two sensor groups, which are distributed symmetrically on both sides of the coal sample tank, with the multiple side temperature sensors in each sensor group arranged vertically, and the multiple side temperature sensors in each sensor group being of different lengths.

[0010] The coal sample tank and the injection chamber are separated using a mesh separation structure.

[0011] The two groups of sensors are arranged in a stepped or inverted stepped pattern, respectively.

[0012] A thermal testing method for simulating the entire process of high-flow injection of mining materials, specifically, Step 1 involves inspecting the airtightness of the insulation tank, coal sample tank, pressurization chamber, and connecting pipelines, and inspecting the temperature sensor. Step 2 involves placing the coal sample into the coal sample tank, activating the external material supply unit, and placing the experimental material into the pressurization chamber. Step 3 involves pre-setting grout injection data, such as setting the pressure, flow rate, and grout injection time required to inject the material into the press-in chamber using an external computer system, as needed for the test. Step 4 involves activating an external material supply unit to inject mining material into the press-fitting chamber based on the values ​​set in Step 3, and performing the press-fitting. In the injection process, multiple side temperature sensors collect temperature change data of the coal sample at multiple points, an optical fiber sensor collects data on the change in stress exerted by the mining material on the surrounding coal during the injection process, and a bottom temperature sensor collects temperature change data within the injection chamber. Step 5 involves data collection. This includes step 6, which involves stopping the device and cleaning the device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] The beneficial effects of using the present invention are as follows: This device simulates the coal seam environment by placing a coal sample inside a heat-insulating tank, pre-installs an injection chamber in the center of the coal sample, and simulates the underground filling construction process by injecting mining materials into the injection chamber using an external material supply unit. Side temperature sensors monitor the temperature changes of the coal around the injection chamber during the filling process. A bottom temperature sensor monitors the temperature changes of the mining material inside the injection chamber during the filling process. Optical fiber sensors are used to monitor the deformation process of coal around the injection chamber during the filling process. By compiling the above data, it is possible to analyze the performance of the mining material and its impact on the surrounding coal during the injection process, thereby gaining a comprehensive understanding of the filling effect of the mining material and the construction risks.

The coal sample tank 2 is assembled inside the heat preservation tank 1. The injection chamber 3 is provided in the coal sample tank 2. A plurality of side temperature sensors 4 are provided on the side wall of the coal sample tank 2. The plurality of side temperature sensors 4 are connected to an external computer system.

One end of the material transport pipe 6 extends into the injection chamber 3, and the other end of the material transport pipe 6 penetrates through the heat preservation tank 1 and the coal sample tank 2 and extends to the outside and is connected to an external material supply unit. The bottom temperature sensor 7 penetrates through the heat preservation tank 1 and the coal sample tank 2 and extends into the injection chamber 3.

[0017] An optical fiber sensor 5 is annularly embedded in the inner wall of the injection chamber 3. When the mine material contacts and presses against the surrounding coal, the optical fiber sensor 5 can collect stress data and is used to monitor the change rule of the corresponding stress exerted by the mine material on the surrounding coal during the injection process of the mine material.

[0018] Preferably, the optical fiber sensor 5 uses a high-temperature-resistant optical fiber Bragg grating as the sensor, has the characteristics of being small and highly sensitive, the number of the optical fiber sensors 5 is plural, and the plural optical fiber sensors 5 are axially and equally spaced outside the injection chamber 3.

[0019] A pressure sensor is further provided in the press-fitting chamber 3.

[0020] A relief valve 8 is provided outside the heat preservation tank 1, and the relief valve 8 communicates with the press-fitting chamber 3 through a pipeline.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 2, each sensor and the material supply unit are all controlled by an external computer, and the external computer system is used to collect the feedback data of each sensor and control the external material supply unit by inputting a predetermined value.

[0022] A high-precision flow meter is attached to the material transport pipe 6. The high-precision flow meter is used to monitor the flow rate and speed of the material, and the error is ±0.5%.

[0023] Preferably, a mesh separation structure is used to partition between the coal sample tank 2 and the press-fitting chamber 3 body. The mesh separation structure is woven using a corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant filamentous material. The diameter of the filamentous material is 5 mm. The mesh separation structure has a mesh opening diameter of 2 mm. The mesh separation structure has a cylindrical shape with a radius of 0.6 m to 1 m and a height of 1 m, and can accommodate 2 t of mining materials.

Example

[0026] Compared with Example 1, this example has differences in the following points.

[0027] Multiple side temperature sensors 4 are evenly divided into two sensor groups, and the two sensor groups are distributed symmetrically on both sides of the coal sample tank 2. Multiple side temperature sensors 4 in each sensor group are arranged vertically, and multiple side temperature sensors 4 in each sensor group have different lengths.

[0028] The two sensor groups are arranged in a stepped or inverted stepped pattern, respectively. The stepped pattern refers to the arrangement of multiple side temperature sensors 4 from top to bottom in order of increasing length, while the inverted stepped pattern refers to the arrangement of multiple side temperature sensors 4 from top to bottom in order of increasing length. To monitor temperature changes in coal, it is common practice to continuously sample at multiple points, which is helpful in analyzing the impact of the entire injection process on the coal.

Step 2 involves setting the mesh opening diameter of the mesh separation structure, placing the coal sample into the coal sample tank 2, activating the external material supply unit, and placing the experimental material into the pressurization chamber 3. Step 3 involves pre-setting grout injection data, such as setting the pressure, flow rate, and grout injection time required to inject the material into the press-in chamber 3 using an external computer system, as needed for the test. Step 4 involves activating an external material supply unit to inject mining material into the press-fitting chamber 3 based on the values ​​set in Step 3, and performing the press-fitting.
