Development of a Portablecoal Rock Chargemonitoring Instrument and It Application for Rockburst Control

Effective monitoring techniques and equipment are essential for the prevention and control of coal and rock dynamic disasters such as rockburst. Based on the fact that there is charge generation during deformation and rupture of coal rock body and the charge signals contain a large amount of information about the mechanical process of deformation and rupture of coal rock, the rockburst charge sensing monitoring technology has been formed. In order to improve the charge sensing technology for monitoring and early warning of rockburst disasters, this paper develops a new generation of portable coal rock charge monitoring instrument on the basis of the original portable coal rock charge monitoring instrument, and carries out laboratory and underground field application. The development part of the innovation is to improve the external structure of the sensor and increase the charge sensing area, which can more comprehensively capture the charge signals from the loaded rupture of the coal rock body. The overall structure of the data acquisition instrument has been improved, the monitoring channels have been increased, and the function of displaying the monitoring data curve has been added, so that the coal and rock body force status can be grasped in time. The results of the experimental study show that the abnormal charge signals can be monitored during the rupture process of rock samples under loading, and the monitored charge signals are in good agreement with the sudden change of stress in the rock samples and the formation of crack extension. There is a precursor charge signal before the stress mutation, and the larger the loading rate is, the earlier the precursor charge signal appears. The charge monitoring instrument can monitor the charge signal of the coal seam roadway under strong mining pressure. In the zone of elevated overburden pressure, the amount of induced charge is large, and anomalously high value charge signals can be monitored when a coal shot occurs. The change trend of the charge at different measuring points of strike and inclination has a good consistency with the distribution of overrunning support pressure and lateral support pressure, which can reflect the stress distribution and the degree of stress concentration of the coal body through the size and location of the charge, and carry out early warning and analysis of the rockburst, and then provide target guidance for the prevention and control of rockburst.
