Measuring the straightness of the scraper conveyor, which is an indispensable piece of equipment in a fully mechanized coal face, can prevent accidents such as derailment of the shearer and is also important for the precise positioning of the shearer and the accurate control of the hydraulic support. The existing scraper conveyor straightness measurement methods have the disadvantages of inconsistent measurement cost, accuracy, and reliability as well as low dimension of straightness description. To this end, this paper proposes a method for monitoring the three-dimensional straightness of a scraper conveyor based on binocular vision. Trapezoidal window matching technology was used to realize the image acquisition of multiple stations and multiple sensors. The bit pose acquisition model of binocular vision 3D reconstruction was used to obtain the 3D coordinates of the feature points on the sign board in each local coordinate system and the bit pose information of each sign board. The pose relay videometric method was used to convert the straightness in each local coordinate system to the global coordinate system to realize the 3D reconstruction of the scraper conveyor. Finally, the straightness measurement test of the preset scraper conveyor was carried out, and the error analysis was carried out by comparing with the manual measurement results, which showed that the measurement errors were all within ±30 mm. At the same time, the standard deviation of errors in both directions was small, which indicates that the straightness measurement method for the scraper conveyor in this paper has high reliability. In addition, the visual measurement process is independent of each other, so there is no error accumulation in the visual straightness measurement method. The analysis shows that the method of measuring the straightness of a scraper conveyor based on binocular vision can realize continuous and real-time monitoring of the scraper conveyor.
This paper takes the bottom pumping roadway of 33190 machine roadway in the No.10 mine of China PingMeiShenMa Group as the engineering background. This mine is a hydrothermal mine, with strong heat conduction and thermal convection activities between the surrounding rock and geothermal water. This forms a geothermal anomaly area, making the overall temperature of the surrounding rock temperature field increase and affecting the mine thermal environment. According to the measured field data and the engineering geological conditions of the roadway, a roadway seepage-heat transfer model is constructed using the comsol numerical simulation software, emulating the effect of geothermal water upwelling to the roadway through random cracks in the surrounding rock at different temperatures and pressures, which has an impact on the airflow temperature field of the roadway. The study shows that the evolution law of the airflow temperature field in the roadway under different water upwelling temperatures and pressures is roughly the same, and the temperature at the entrance of the roadway is almost unchanged: the heating rate is 0, and then increases linearly. The variation in the airflow outlet temperature is analyzed, both under the conditions of same temperature but different pressure, and under the same pressure but different temperature. The water upwelling temperature and the cooling efficiency are positively correlated, and the overall growth rate of the airflow temperature is positively correlated with the water upwelling temperature and pressure; however, the effect of temperature is far greater than that of pressure. The upwelling temperature of geothermal water is the main influencing factor on the temperature field of the airflow in the roadway. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the temperature of upwelling water by laying heat insulation materials on the bottom plate, evacuating geothermal water and circulating cold-water by injection, so as to improve the thermal environment of water-heated mines and increase their production efficiency.
The symmetrical fissures located within the surrounding rock of the roadway (borehole) in tunnel engineering activities can easily induce damage and instability of the surrounding rock. Therefore, studying the impact of perforated symmetrical fissures on the mechanical properties of rock with a hole has significant practical significance. Based on indoor experimental results, conventional triaxial compression simulations were performed on symmetrical fissure-hole sandstone using PFC2D. The impact of the dip angle and length of symmetric fissures on the mechanical properties of the hole-containing sandstone was analyzed. Furthermore, the relationship between crack propagation and the macroscopic mechanical properties of the specimen was discussed. The results show that: (1) The deterioration effect of symmetric fissures on hole-containing sandstone can be controlled by increasing the fissure dip angle, suppressing the stress drop phenomenon. However, increasing the fissure length exacerbates the deterioration effect. (2) The effect of symmetrical fissure dip angle on the displacement field near the hole decreases with increasing dip angle while increasing fissure length exacerbates the effect of fissures on the displacement field. (3) As the angle between the fissure and the vertical principal stress increases, the degree of tensile failure weakens while the degree of shear failure increases. (4) During the crack development phase, the extension of the stress concentration zone drives rapid crack growth. It exhibits a stress drop in the macroscopic mechanical properties, followed by the evolution of the stress field with loading, allowing rapid expansion of the microcracks and eventually leading to rock destabilization damage.
