Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current blasting vibration monitoring systems for deep-mine tunnels fail to capture real-time crack evolution and cracking mechanisms in jointed rock masses, inadequately monitor the impact of blasting stress waves on tunnel stability, and are prone to errors due to electromagnetic interference and inability to record large deformations.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional strain measurement technology is used, then the system structure is simple, but it cannot monitor large deformations and is easily affected by electromagnetic interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional electrical strain gauges with fiber optic sensing technology. Fiber grating strain sensors and PVDF piezoelectric pressure sensors are used to detect deformation and stress without being susceptible to electromagnetic interference from blasting operations, thereby improving measurement reliability while maintaining acceptable system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite sensing approaches by combining fiber grating strain sensors with PVDF piezoelectric pressure sensors. This composite sensing system enables simultaneous measurement of both strain and pressure parameters, providing comprehensive monitoring capability that overcomes the limitations of single-type sensors
2Loss of information
If conventional monitoring systems are used, then the device complexity is low, but they cannot capture real-time crack evolution process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monitoring function into multiple specialized subsystems: fiber grating strain sensors for strain measurement, PVDF piezoelectric pressure sensors for pressure monitoring, and a high-speed photography system for visual crack documentation. This segmentation enables comprehensive crack evolution capture while organizing system complexity into manageable functional modules
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous real-time monitoring through the integration of multiple sensing systems that continuously record strain, pressure, and visual crack development throughout the blasting process. This continuous data acquisition ensures no crack evolution events are missed, providing complete information on crack initiation and propagation
3Measurement precision
If foil resistance strain gauge is used, then the measurement system is simple, but it cannot record large deformations and is affected by electromagnetic interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces foil resistance strain gauges with fiber optic sensing technology. Fiber grating strain sensors use optical wavelength shifts to measure strain, and PVDF piezoelectric pressure sensors use electrical charge generation from mechanical stress, both of which are immune to electromagnetic interference and capable of measuring large deformations with high precision
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the measurement parameter from electrical resistance change (in foil gauges) to optical wavelength shift (in fiber gratings) and piezoelectric charge generation (in PVDF sensors). This parameter change enables measurement of large deformations without electromagnetic interference, achieving superior measurement precision
