Latest Patents

Xue is associated with 1 patent: “Borehole Fracture-Deformation-Wave Velocity Integrated Intelligent Sensing Apparatus and Method for Engineering Rock Mass.” The invention combines an in-hole monitoring unit and an out-of-hole monitoring unit connected by a cable. Its in-hole equipment includes a hole-diameter-adaptive crawling robot and a configurable probe assembly with a high-definition wide-angle camera, a laser radar probe, and an acoustic transceiver probe.

The robot has a waterproof, sealed shell that can be pressurized to detect leakage. Its lift-type electric crawler mechanisms adjust their supporting force to help prevent slipping. Together, these features are intended to support intelligent, long-term monitoring of borehole fractures, deformation, and wave velocity.
