Abstract

The invention discloses a monitoring system for deformations and destructions of a gas storage, including an acoustic emission sensor installed in a borehole of a monitored rock mass and a ground workstation. The acoustic emission sensor includes an acoustic emission probe and a probe installation mechanism for installing the acoustic emission probe and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the probe installation mechanism. The probe installation mechanism includes a shell, a probe sleeve and two sets of pistons hydro-cylinder components. The present invention realizes the control of the moving direction of the shell and the probe sleeve by the piston hydro-cylinder component and the hydraulic pump, thus solving the problem of effective installation and coupling of the acoustic emission probe, ensuring the effective coupling between the acoustic emission probe and the wall of the borehole.
