The pipeline conveying system as the gangue slurry filling technology lifeline. The occurrence of pipeline blockage will lead to the paralysis of the entire filling system; timely detection of pipeline blockage and early warning are needed to ensure the safe, stable, and efficient operation of the core elements of the coal gangue slurry filling system. Based on this, this paper summarizes and analyzes the classification of pipeline blockage and summarizes the current pipeline conveying blockage detection technologies. It elaborates in detail on the principles and advantages and disadvantages of existing pipeline blockage detection technologies, and points out that distributed optical fiber acoustic wave sensor (DAS), as an emerging fiber optic detection technology in recent years, can achieve high-precision, large-scale, real-time dynamic and distributed acoustic detection, Compared with traditional monitoring for pipeline blockage, it is more suitable for detecting blockage in coal gangue slurry pipeline conveying; then from the sensing principle of distributed fiber optic acoustic wave sensing technology, it discusses the current status of DAS technology application, analyzes the pipeline blockage DAS detection mechanism, and verifies the feasibility of pipeline conveying blockage detection based on the distributed fiber optic acoustic wave sensing technology by building a pipeline blockage DAS detection simulation experiment system; finally, it puts forward the feasibility of distributed fiber optic acoustic wave sensing technology; finally, it puts forward the feasibility of distributed fiber optic wave sensing technology detection. Finally, a pipeline blockage DAS detection and identification system is proposed, the function of each subsystem is introduced, and the core key technology involved in the pipeline blockage DAS detection and identification system is analyzed in detail, and the future development direction of gangue slurry pipeline conveying blockage DAS detection technology is also pointed out in order to provide reference for the development of the subsequent gangue slurry pipeline blockage and other pipeline conveying blockage DAS detection technology.
