The visual sandbox apparatus forms a sand layer packing space. The karst conduit is buried in a sand layer. The water flow control apparatus is a constant water head storage tank. A back plate is provided with a horizontal well mounting hole and tracer adding hole. The horizontal well is mounted in each horizontal well mounting hole. A monitoring well is connected to a seepage pressure sensor or an electrical conductivity sensor. A water injection and pumping well is connected to a peristaltic pump. The electrical conductivity sensor, seepage pressure sensor, and peristaltic pump connect to the data acquisition apparatus. The data acquisition apparatus connects to the data processing apparatus.

    Abstract: A system and method for identifying lithology based on images and XRF mineral inversion solving the problem that conventional lithology identification relies on manual work, which is time-consuming, subjective and can cause misjudgment. The identification system includes an autonomous vehicle; an X ray fluorescence spectrometer probe, and tests surrounding rock element information; image collection device; and vehicle-mounted processor. The processor inverts the received surrounding rock element information into mineral information based on a Barthes-Niggli standard mineral calculation method; and receive surrounding rock images and a corresponding inclination angle thereof, convert the surrounding rock images into image information in a one-dimensional vector format, splice the image and mineral information which is in a one-dimensional format, and distinguish the spliced information based on a preset neural network to identify rock lithology.

    Abstract: A TBM-mounted virtual reconstruction system and method for a tunnel surrounding rock structure, the method including: obtaining image information of surrounding rock; receiving the image information of the surrounding rock; transforming and splicing pictures taken at different angles, to form a complete image reflecting the surrounding rock; recognizing and describing a surrounding rock feature of the complete image, and transmitting the annotated image to a virtual reconstruction module; displaying the complete image with a description of the surrounding rock feature by using a virtual reality device, to reflect surrounding rock situations at different angles/different positions. This has the advantages of high equipment automation, not prolonging the construction time, not requiring the sketcher to enter the tunnel, precise surrounding rock feature parameters, and supporting remote control.

    Abstract: An underwater detector includes a sealed enclosure, inside an infrared sensor module is disposed. The module rotates around a spindle at a fixed angular velocity along a horizontal plane. An electronic compass disposed on the module. A bottom of the sealed enclosure connected to an indicator through a rotary shaft, and the indicator rotates around the rotary shaft on the horizontal plane. The indicator includes a head and tail fin. A light source emits a light beam vertically upwards on the tail fin. The module is configured to trigger, when receiving the light beam, the electronic compass records a real-time direction relative to the spindle, which is processed by a processor module to obtain a direction of the water flow. A spring connects between the head and tail fin. The infrared sensor module transmits a moment of receiving the light beam to the processor module to calculate the water flow.
