Magnetic induction through-the-earth positioning method based on path loss
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic induction through-the-earth positioning, in particular to a magnetic induction through-the-earth positioning method based on path loss.
Background
The through-the-earth positioning technology plays an important role in the fields of mine disaster rescue, tunnel construction, underground navigation and the like. However, in the earth medium, electromagnetic waves are easily affected by medium changes or obstacles, and significant attenuation and multipath phenomenon occur when passing through a medium such as rock or water, which seriously affects the transmission distance and positioning accuracy of a through-the-earth positioning signal. The extremely-low frequency magnetic induction signal can greatly reduce the loss of the conductive ground medium to the electromagnetic field. The quasi-static magnetic field is a non-stray field, and multipath phenomena such as reflection and scattering do not occur when the quasi-static magnetic field propagates in the earth. This technique is therefore used in through-the-earth positioning. There are a number of problems with existing through-the-earth positioning systems.
A through-the-earth localization system that employs square wave electromagnetic through-the-earth localization signals of several hundred to several kilohertz. A single-axis coil transmitter of the system is horizontally placed in a mine roadway or horizontally wound on a mine support, and a single-axis coil receiver is horizontally placed on the ground. During positioning, a transmitter under a mine continuously transmits a through-the-earth positioning signal, and a worker on the ground continuously moves a receiver for detecting the through-the-earth positioning signal until the through-the-earth positioning signal is detected. The through-the-earth positioning system can only determine the approximate location of the downhole transmitter and cannot achieve accurate through-the-earth positioning including direction and distance between transceivers.
The horizontal component of a magnetic field signal generated by a single-axis annular electrified coil horizontally placed underground on the ground right above the coil is 0, and the vertical component of the magnetic field signal is larger than that of other positions on the ground. In positioning, a worker on the ground holding a horizontally oriented single axis coil receiver moves around the ground area above the transmitter until the detected magnetic field signal is maximized. And then, vertically placing the receiving coil, and if the detected signal intensity of the magnetic field is 0, indicating that the current position is positioned right above the underground transmitting coil. The method can determine the position of the intersection point of the central axis of the underground transmitting coil and the ground (horizontal positioning), but cannot determine the depth of the underground transmitting coil from the ground (vertical positioning).
The annular energizing coil horizontally placed underground can generate an induction magnetic field on the ground, and the horizontal component of the induction magnetic field is minimum in the direction perpendicular to the central axis of the energizing coil. In positioning, the rescue personnel on the ground continuously rotate the vertically placed single-axis toroidal receiving coil in the horizontal direction until the detected magnetic field signal is minimal. And the central axis of the annular receiving coil is perpendicular to the central axis of the annular electrifying and transmitting coil. Therefore, the intersection line of the plane of the annular receiving coil and the horizontal ground passes through the intersection point of the central axis of the transmitting coil and the ground. However, one such intersection line cannot determine the position of the intersection point of the central axis of the transmitting coil and the ground, so that the receiver on the ground is moved, the above steps are repeated, and the intersection line of the plane of the second receiving coil and the ground is obtained, wherein the intersection point of the two intersection lines is the intersection point of the central axis of the transmitting coil and the ground. This method also only enables horizontal positioning.
And establishing a coupling matrix between the triaxial orthogonal transmitting coil and the triaxial orthogonal receiving coil. During positioning, each axis of the three-axis orthogonal transmitting coil sequentially transmits magnetic induction through-the-earth positioning signals with different frequencies, and after the three-axis orthogonal receiving coil receives the positioning signals, the amplitude and the direction of the signals are substituted into the coupling matrix to solve the relative position between the receiving coil and the transmitting coil. The method can realize horizontal positioning and vertical positioning, but when the magnetically induced through-the-earth positioning signal propagates in the earth medium, dielectric loss occurs, which can cause positioning error of the method.

Example 1
The embodiment 1 of the invention provides a magnetic induction through-the-earth positioning method based on path loss. The receiver is a three-axis orthogonal induction type magnetic core coil placed on the ground, one axis of the coil is perpendicular to the horizontal ground, and the other two axes are parallel to the horizontal ground. Between the transceivers is a ground medium having electrical conductivity. Sinusoidal current with a certain frequency (such as 10Hz) is conducted in a multi-turn coil of the transmitter, a quasi-static magnetic field excited by the current penetrates through a ground medium to reach a receiver on the ground, induced voltage signals are respectively generated at two ends of three magnetic core coils of the receiver, and the direction and the intensity of the magnetic induction through-the-earth positioning signals can be determined according to the intensity of the three-axis orthogonal induced voltage signals.
Horizontal positioning is achieved by determining the orientation and distance between the central axis of the transmitter coil and the receiver. After the three-axis receiver on the ground detects the magnetic induction through-the-ground positioning signal, the signal detected by the two axes parallel to the ground is subjected to vector superposition, and at the moment, the straight line of the superposed signal passes through the intersection point of the central axis of the underground transmitting coil and the ground. Two receivers distributed at different positions on the ground can generate two straight lines, and the intersection point of the straight lines is the intersection point of the central axis of the transmitting coil and the ground. In a triangle formed by the intersection points of the central axes of the two receivers and the transmitting coil and the ground, measuring the distance between the two receivers on the ground and the angle of the vertex angle of the two receivers, and calculating the distance between the intersection point of the central axis of the transmitting coil and the ground and any one receiver according to the sine theorem so as to finish horizontal positioning.
The corresponding relation of the signal intensity between the transmitter and the receiver is converted from a cylindrical coordinate system to a rectangular coordinate system, the change rule of the horizontal component, the vertical component and the sum vector of the through-the-earth positioning signal along with the depth distance of the underground transmitter from the ground is analyzed, the one-to-one corresponding relation of the positioning signal and the vector and the depth of the transmitter from the ground is established, and the depth positioning is completed.
As shown in fig. 1, the transmitter is a single-axis multi-turn annular energizing coil horizontally placed underground, two receivers at different positions above the ground are both three-axis orthogonal induction type magnetic core coil sensors, one axis of the coil is perpendicular to the horizontal ground, and the other two axes are parallel to the horizontal ground. Between the transmitter and the receiver is a ground medium with electrical conductivity. Sinusoidal current with a certain frequency (such as 10Hz) is conducted in a multi-turn coil of the transmitter, a quasi-static magnetic field excited by the current penetrates through a ground medium to reach a receiver on the ground, induced voltage signals are generated at two ends of three magnetic core coils of the receiver respectively, and the receiver can restore the induced voltage signals into magnetic induction through-the-earth positioning signals. The magnetic induction lines in fig. 1 are curved lines, and the magnetic induction lines at the two receivers do not point to the transmitter coil, so that the position of the transmitter coil cannot be directly judged by the direction of the magnetic field at the receivers. But positioning the transmitter coil can be achieved indirectly by both horizontal and vertical positioning.
As shown in fig. 2, in a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system with a point O as an origin, the transmitter is located at the origin of the coordinates, and the center of the antenna coil coincides with the origin O. The dashed box in fig. 2 represents the ground, receiver Q1And Q2And the point C is the intersection point of the axis of the transmitter coil and the ground. Q1And Q2At a distance r from the point C1And r2The distance of point C from the origin O is z. Q1And Q2Are each r 'away from the point O'1And r'2,Q1O and Q2The included angles of O and the z axis are respectively theta1And theta2,Q1C and Q2The included angles between the C and the x axis are respectively phi1And phi2. The radius of the transmitter antenna coil is R, the number of coil turns is n, and the current in the coil is I. A spherical coordinate system is established by taking the point O as an origin to obtain Q1Dot sum Q2The through-the-earth localization of the spots localizes the signal strength.
In example 1 of the present invention, Q1For example, the through-the-earth localization signal strength is:
in example 1 of the present invention, it is assumed that the electrical conductivity of the earth medium is σ and the magnetic permeability is μ0The geomagnetic noise approximately randomly distributed in the frequency spectrum is n0(t) transmitter coil current I ═ I0Sin ω t, where ω is the angular frequency of the current and t is the time.
