Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the technical field of detecting a mining-induced failure range of rock mass, and particularly relates to a graded pressure drop type detection system and detection method of borehole cracks.

BACKGROUND

The measurement of floor mining failure height (or depth) in mine is an important parameter to indicate the occurrence state of coal and rock. It is a key basic parameter in the research of mine water prevention and control. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the strata movement law and determine the height determination of the mining failure zone in order to investigate the formation of water inrush channel in mining surrounding rock. Series of detection equipment represented by “device for measuring leakage with double ends plugging of borehole” for in-situ testing, have the problems of tedious operation process and drill pipe winding because the plugging operation table and the water supply operation table are independent and correspondingly connected with more than two pipelines and test probes in drill hole, thus resulting in poor stability and low effectiveness during observation. In series of products, although the problem of single loop can be solved, there are problems of large conversion range of water pressure, poor conversion stability, difficult control of water pressure and easy mechanical failure. The prior art fails to simultaneously solve the above problems.

(3) The detection system conducts gradient pressure conversion through the first stage pressure converting device and the second stage pressure converting device, enhances the stability of the working process of the pressure conversion assembly through the design of the sealed conical surface, adjusts compression length of the spring through screws (cross filiform rings), and controls the conversion body (annular conversion body) to have different opening pressures and conversion pressures so that the pressure adjusting range is more extensive and can adapt to different work needs.

(4) The design of the annular flume and the water collecting slots solves the problem that the limbers do not correspond to the water outlets, and ensures that the water in the limbers can flow through the annular flume to the converting device outlet no matter how the conversion body (annular conversion body) rotates.

The test probe mainly comprises a plugging device at the front 34, a plugging device at the rear end 35, and a pressure conversion assembly 47 connected to the rear end of the plugging device at the front 34. The pressure conversion assembly 47 is connected with the plugging device at the rear end 35 through a connected pipe 28 and mainly comprises a first stage pressure converting device 6 and a second stage pressure converting device 37. The second stage pressure converting device 37 is sheathed on the outer end of the first stage pressure converting device 6 and is in threaded connection with the first stage pressure converting device 6. The plugging device consists of a water leakage pipe 3, a series of joints and a rubber bag 5. The rubber bag 5 is wrapped around the outer end of the water leakage pipe 3, and forms a blocked cavity 30 with the water leakage pipe 3. Both ends of the rubber bag 5 are fixed by a fastening iron ring 24. A water leakage hole 25 is formed in the water leakage pipe 3. An outside water source enters the blocked cavity 30 through the water leakage hole 25. The rubber bag 5 is inflated to form a water injection cavity 29 with a drill hole 31.

The drilling rig 14 is connected with the test probe through the drill pipe 12 for extending and pushing the test probe to a designated region. The drill pipe 12 is a hollow pipe in which the outside high pressure water source can be delivered. The drill pipe 12 and the test probe are in threaded connection and are detachable.

The control operation platform 36 is connected with the drill pipe 12 through a high pressure resistant hose 13 and is responsible for providing the outside water source with designated pressure for the test probe and detecting parameters such as pressure and flow.

As shown in FIG. 4, the plugging device at the front 34 consists of a type I joint 2, a water leakage pipe 3, a type II joint 4 and a rubber bag 5.

The rubber bag 5 is wrapped outside the water leakage pipe 3, is fixed outside the type I joint 2 and the type II joint 4 through a fastening iron ring 24, and forms a blocked cavity 30 with the water leakage pipe 3.

The external end of the type I joint 2 is in threaded connection with a guide head 1; and the guide head 1 has a guide effect and is used to guide the test probe to smoothly slide in the drill hole 31.

A circular baffle 11 is installed outside the type III joints 7. The diameter of the circular baffle 11 is larger than that of the rubber bag 5 to prevent the rubber bag 5 from falling. The circular baffle 11 and the type III joints 7 are in threaded connection and are detachable to facilitate the replacement of the rubber bag 5.

The outside water source enters the blocked cavity 30 through the water leakage hole 25 in the plugging device at the front 34 and the plugging device at the rear end 35. The water injection cavity 29 is formed between the corresponding swelling rubber bags 5 and drill hole 31.

Threads are arranged on the left inner walls of the peripheral through holes 33 and are matched with the regulating screw 8 so that the regulating screw 8 rotates and compresses the inner spring 9 within a certain range of the peripheral through holes 33 to control the opening pressure of the conversion body 10.

A hexagonal through hole 21 is formed in the side wall of the regulating screw 8 so that rotation of the regulating screw 8 is facilitated and feedback water pressure acts on the left end surface of the conversion body 10.

A sealed conical surface 26 is at the transition of the cylinder of unequal diameters, and coincides with the sealed conical surface 26 of the inner wall of the peripheral through holes 33. The sealed conical surface 26 has an angle of 30°.

The annular conversion body 40 is positioned between the external annular component 38 and the internal annular component 39 and slides left and right along the surface of the internal annular component 39.

Four “L”-shaped limbers of No. 2 41 are correspondingly formed in the annular conversion body 40; when the annular conversion body 40 moves to the left, the limbers of No. 2 41 are communicated with the water collecting slots 42 to deliver the high pressure water source in the central transitional cavity 48 into the water collecting slots 42; and at this moment, the left end surface of the annular conversion body 40 just comes into contact with the protruding part 44. The diameter of the left end surface of the annular conversion body 40 is larger than that of the right end surface, and the sealed conical surface is arranged in the middle connected position.

The external spring 45 is positioned between the annular conversion body 40 and the cross filiform ring 46, and has the same diameter as the left end surface of the annular conversion body 40.

The cross filiform ring 46 is in the shape of “cross”, and the middle position thereof is circular; a thread is arranged on the inner wall of the cross filiform ring 46 and is matched with the internal annular component 39; the cross filiform ring 46 rotates on the thread by means of an external tool; and the compression extent of the external spring 45 is changed to control the opening pressure of the annular conversion body 40.

(1) when the conversion body 10 satisfies P_midS_left+k_innerx≤P_rightS_right, the conversion body 10 moves to the left, and then the annular flume 22 is communicated with the side drain holes 20 to supply water into the central transitional cavity 48 to realize first stage pressure drop;

(2) when the conversion body 10 satisfies P_midS_left+k_innerx≥P_rightS_right, the conversion body 10 moves to the right, and then the annular flume 22 is closed by the inner walls of the peripheral through holes 33 to stop supplying water into the central transitional cavity 48;

(3) if P_right is too large, in order to prevent extreme water pressure of P_right from damaging the inner wall of the drill hole 31 in the water injection cavity 29 through the pressure conversion assembly 47, the conversion body 10 moves to the left under the action of the outside water source until the annular flume 22 moves to the left end of the side drain hole 20 and forms another closing role on the inner walls of the peripheral through holes 33.

Wherein P_mid is the water source pressure of the central transitional cavity 48, which is generally 0.8 to 1 MPa. P_right is the pressure of the supplied water source in the connected pipe 28, which is generally about 1.5 MPa; S_left is the area of the left end surface of the conversion body 10; S_right is the area of the right end surface of the conversion body 10; k_inner is an elastic coefficient of the inner spring 9; and x is compression length.
