Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of blasting control construction technology, and in particular to a blasting control construction method for quarries based on rock mass block size zoning and prediction. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale quarry blasting projects, controlling the particle size of blasted blocks using deep-hole bench blasting to achieve blasting piles of various gradations has always been a technical challenge and a key research focus of deep-hole bench blasting. This is especially true in the blasting and mining of multi-graded boulders in extra-large quarries with complex geological conditions, where strict requirements on blasted block size gradation further complicate the blasting technology.

[0003] Traditional bench blasting technology in quarries designs and constructs blasting operations under the premise that the entire quarry has essentially the same geological conditions. This technology lacks a mathematical model for predicting the distribution of blasted blocks. To control the block size, adjustments are typically made to hole layout parameters and the amount of explosive consumed per unit of rock. Construction control relies on experience, which can easily result in excessively fine ore and sometimes even extra-large blocks. To enhance the fragmentation effect, bench blasting generally employs strong loosening blasting or weak throwing blasting methods, resulting in high explosive consumption per unit of rock and excessive rock fragmentation, again leading to excessively fine ore. To reduce drilling workload and enhance blasting effects, bench blasting typically uses a full-hole coupled charging structure, maximizing the charge per hole. Therefore, it is necessary to design a blasting control construction method for quarries based on rock mass block size zoning and prediction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a blasting control construction method for quarries based on rock mass block size zoning and prediction, which solves the technical problems of bench blasting technology in quarries, which does not have block blasting, easily produces excessive ore powder, and consumes a large amount of rock explosives.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] The blasting control construction method for quarries based on rock mass block size zoning and prediction includes: surveying and setting out → bench and road layout → blasting block size zoning → blasting design → blasting gradation prediction → safety assessment → drilling → hole cleaning and acceptance → loading explosives and detonators and plugging the blast hole openings → connecting the detonation network → clearing the site and perimeter security → detonation → post-blast inspection: checking and eliminating misfires → image processing and analysis of the blast pile → removing dangerous rocks from the slope → removing rock debris and cleaning the bottom.

[0007] Furthermore, the specific process of arranging steps and roads is as follows: platforms and construction access roads are key to the high-strength production of stone materials of various specifications. According to the actual situation of the project, graded platforms are determined and blasting is carried out using different blasting parameters.

[0008] Roads are a crucial guarantee for high-intensity production. Roads of different widths should be designed according to the different production levels of different platforms. Access roads should be maintained on time, and necessary ramps between secondary and primary elevations should be cleared to facilitate the passage of machinery and equipment, ensuring smooth traffic flow and efficient construction under high-intensity conditions.

[0009] Furthermore, the specific process of blasting block size zoning is as follows: In view of the factors affecting the blasting block size of the rock mass in the quarry, and in combination with the engineering geological conditions, a quarry blasting block size zoning method based on six indicators, namely rock type, rock hardness, average fracture spacing, explosive consumption, blasting funnel volume and blasting block size distribution index, is adopted to reasonably divide the quarry into pulverized block area, small block area, medium block area and large block area.

[0010] Furthermore, in the blasting design: firstly, the blasting area is determined according to the blasting block size requirements, and then the blasting design is carried out according to the gradation requirements of the standard stones and the terrain and geological conditions to maximize the blasting grade qualification rate of each blast hole;

[0011] The geometric parameters for blasting design include step height H, borehole diameter ф, step inclination angle α, borehole angle β, front row resistance line W, borehole spacing a, borehole row spacing b, width of the upper edge of the front row boreholes c, borehole depth L, plugging length h0, borehole over-depth (also known as over-drilling) h1, bottom charge length h2, top charge length h3, and base resistance line W. m L≥H, L=h0+h2+h3;

[0012] The charge distribution parameters include: 1) the single-hole bearing area S, S = ab = aW; 2) the linear density of the lower charge q2, q2 = (0.25 / m)πρφ. 2 In the formula, ρ is the charge density, ф is in m, m is the radial decoupling coefficient, 3) upper charge linear density q3, q3=(0.3~0.6)q2, take q3=0.5q2, 4) single hole lower charge Q2, Q2=q2h2, 5) single hole upper charge Q3, Q3=q3h3, 6) single hole charge Q, Q=Q2+Q3.

[0013] Furthermore, the design process for the blasting design is as follows: the resistance line control design method is adopted, and the design process is as follows: 1) Determine the linear density q2 of the lower charge, 2) Determine the design resistance line W;

[0014]

[0015] According to the type of explosives used and the drilling and clamping conditions, W m Determine the resistance line W':

[0016] W'=k1k2W m (2)

[0017] (2) In the formula, k1 is the explosive coefficient. For medium-explosive rocks in No. 2 rock explosive, k1 = 1. For rocks, emulsion explosives and ammonium nitrate explosives, the value of k1 is selected according to the explosive coefficient table. k2 is the clamping coefficient. For vertical holes, k2 = 1.0.

[0018] The hole opening deviation is: ΔW1=1.0ф, the drilling inclination deviation ΔW2 is controlled within 3%, then ΔW2=0.03L, the design resistance line is: W=W'-ΔW1-ΔW2;

[0019] 3) Determine the blockage length h0 and over-drilling h1, h0 = (20~30)ф, h1 = 0.3W m ;

[0020] 4) Determine the spacing between boreholes and the load-bearing area of ​​a single borehole, b = W, a = 1.25b, S = ab;

[0021] 5) Calculate the bottom charge length and bottom charge amount; Bottom charge length: h2 = 1.3W m Bottom charge amount: Q2 = q2h2;

[0022] 6) Calculate the length and amount of the upper charge. Upper charge length: h3 = L - h0 - h2, upper charge amount: Q3 = q3h3;

[0023] 7) Calculate the charge per hole and the average unit consumption. Charge per hole: Q = Q² + Q 3, Average unit drug consumption: q=Q / (abH).

[0024] Furthermore, the specific process of safety assessment is as follows: Before submitting an application for blasting operations to the local public security authority, each stone quarry blasting design should be assessed by an expert group composed of qualified blasting companies. The safety assessment includes: 1. Whether the qualifications of the design and construction units meet the regulations; 2. The completeness and reliability of the data on which the design is based; 3. The rationality of the design methods and design parameters; 4. The accuracy of the detonation network; 5. The feasibility of the selected design scheme; 6. The existing harmful effects and the possible scope of impact; 7. The reliability of measures to ensure the safety of the engineering environment; 8. Whether the prevention and rescue measures for possible accidents are appropriate.

[0025] The blasting design documents and safety assessment report for stone mining should be bound together and submitted to the local public security authority. If the application meets the requirements, the public security authority will make an approval decision, and the operating unit can carry out blasting operations. If it is found during construction that the actual situation is inconsistent with the data submitted during the assessment and has a significant impact on safety, the necessary survey and mapping work on the blasting target and environment should be carried out, and the original design should be revised in a timely manner. Major modifications should be resubmitted for assessment.

[0026] Furthermore, the specific process of drilling, cleaning, and inspecting the blast holes is as follows:

[0027] 1. Hole layout: The arrangement of blast holes directly affects the gradation of blasting. In this method, the blast holes are arranged in a rectangular plan.

[0028] 2. Drilling rig alignment: The alignment of the drilling rig directly affects the drilling quality. The requirements are: accurate alignment, correct direction, and precise angle.

[0029] 3. The basic requirements for drilling operations include the following:

[0030] 1) You must be familiar with the properties of the rock and understand the drilling patterns of different rock strata;

[0031] 2) Master the key points of drilling operation: the hole opening must be complete, the hole wall must be smooth, and the slag removal must be smooth;

[0032] 4. Hole cleaning and acceptance: After the blast holes are drilled, use compressed air to remove rock powder and rock cuttings from the bottom of the holes. Measure the depth and angle of the blast holes. After acceptance, take protective measures for the blast holes to prevent surface water and debris from entering the holes.

[0033] Furthermore, before loading explosives and detonators and sealing the borehole, the selection and inspection of explosives and detonators are carried out. Explosives are loaded in strips. When there is water in the borehole, explosives with good water resistance are used. The explosive force parameters are qualified. Non-electric millisecond detonating cord detonators are selected. Before carrying out the blasting charge, all blasting materials used are visually inspected. The detonator tube body is not flattened, damaged, or corroded. The reinforcing cap is not crooked. There is no broken explosive, foreign objects or blockages in the detonating cord. There are no folds, oil stains, or perforations. The end is sealed. Emulsion explosives should not be diluted or hardened.

[0034] Furthermore, in the explosive loading process, the loading structure adopts a non-uniform radially decoupled loading structure throughout the borehole. The radial decoupling coefficient at the bottom of the borehole is m = 1.0–1.3, and the radial decoupling coefficient at the top of the borehole is m = 1.5–2.0. For a borehole diameter of ф140mm, the length of the upper loading section is h3, using explosive cartridges of ф70mm, ф80mm, ф90mm, and ф100mm, with the cartridge diameter gradually increasing from top to bottom. The lower loading section… The length is h2, using ф110mm explosive cartridges, and the length of the top filling section is h0. Rock powder or stemming mud is used to compact the material layer by layer. When the step height H = 15m, the vertical drilling depth is h1 = 1m, and the borehole length L = 16m, h2 = 4m, h3 = 8m, and h0 = 4m are used. Manual loading is used. Before loading, various types of explosives of different specifications are placed on the top surface of each hole according to the design quantity. The loading personnel must load the explosives according to the loading structure and quantity, and the loading must be in place.

[0035] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] This invention employs a rational zoning method within a quarry based on six indicators: rock type, rock hardness, average fracture spacing, explosive consumption per unit area, blasting hopper volume, and blasting block size distribution index. This effectively improves the qualified rate of sized stone and increases resource utilization. The Kuz-Ram mathematical model for predicting blasting block size distribution in quarries is used to predict the gradation of the blast pile before blasting and to verify the blast pile after blasting. The deep-hole bench collapse blasting method fully utilizes the energy and potential of explosives to rationally break the rock, reduces the explosive consumption per unit rock, controls the maximum particle size, reduces excessively fine ore, and meets the requirements for controlling the blasting block size distribution.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the present invention, and these aspects of the invention can be implemented even without these specific details.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the blasting control construction method for quarries based on rock mass block size zoning and prediction includes: surveying and setting out → bench and road layout → blasting block size zoning → blasting design → blasting gradation prediction → safety assessment → drilling → hole cleaning and acceptance → loading explosives and detonators and plugging the blast hole openings → connecting the detonation network → clearing the site and perimeter security → detonation → post-blast inspection: checking and eliminating misfires → image processing and analysis of the blast pile → removing dangerous rocks on the slope → clearing away rock debris and cleaning the bottom.

[0044] Specifically as follows:

[0045] 1. Measurement and layout: Measurement and layout are to ensure that the height of the steps, the location and depth of the drilling, and the road construction meet the design requirements.

[0046] 2. The layout of steps and roads, platforms, and construction access roads are crucial for the high-strength production of various specifications of stone. Different tiered platforms will be determined based on the actual project conditions, and different blasting parameters will be used for blasting.

[0047] Roads are a crucial guarantee for high-intensity production. Roads of different widths should be designed according to the different production levels of different platforms. Access roads should be maintained on time, and necessary ramps between secondary and primary elevations should be cleared to facilitate the passage of machinery and equipment, ensuring smooth traffic flow and efficient construction under high-intensity conditions.

[0048] 3. Blasting Block Size Zoning: Based on the main factors affecting the blasting block size of the rock mass in a quarry, and combined with engineering geological conditions, a quarry blasting block size zoning method is adopted, using six indicators: rock type, rock hardness, average fracture spacing, explosive consumption per unit volume, blasting hopper volume, and blasting block size distribution index. This allows for the rational zoning of the quarry for mining. Generally, it can be divided into powder block area, small block area, medium block area, and large block area.

[0049] 4. Blasting design: First, determine the blasting area based on the required block size. Then, design the blasting based on the gradation requirements of the sized stones and the terrain and geological conditions to maximize the blasting grade qualification rate of each blast hole.

[0065] 3) Linear density of the upper charge q3, kg / m. q3 = (0.3~0.6)q2, generally taken as q3 = 0.5q2.

[0066] 4) Charge amount at the bottom of a single hole: Q2, kg. Q2 = q2h2.

[0067] 5) Charge amount at the top of a single hole: Q3, kg. Q3 = q3h3.

[0069] 3. Design Methodology Description

[0070] The resistance line control design method is adopted, and the design process is as follows:

[0071] 1) Determine the linear density q2 of the lower charge.

[0072] 2) Determine the design resistance line W.

[0073]

[0074] According to the type of explosives used and the drilling and clamping conditions, W m Determine the resistance line W':

[0075] W'=k1k2W m (2)

[0076] (2) In the formula, k1 is the explosive coefficient. For medium-explosive rocks in No. 2 rock explosive, k1 = 1. For other rocks, as well as emulsion explosives and ammonium nitrate explosives, the value of k1 is selected according to Table 5.2.4.

[0106] Before submitting a blasting operation application to the local public security organ for each stone quarrying blasting design, an expert group composed of a qualified blasting company should be invited for assessment. The content of the safety assessment includes:

[0107] 1. Whether the qualifications of the design and construction units comply with the regulations;

[0108] 2. The integrity and reliability of the data on which the design is based;

[0109] 3. The rationality of the design method and design parameters;

[0110] 4. The guaranteed initiation of the initiation network;

[0111] 5. The feasibility of the design selection scheme;

[0112] 6. The existing harmful effects and the possible affected range;

[0113] 7. The reliability of the measures to ensure the safety of the project environment;

[0114] 8. Whether the preventive countermeasures and rescue measures for possible accidents are appropriate.

[0115] Bind the stone quarrying blasting design document and the safety assessment report into a volume and submit an application to the local public security organ. For those that meet the conditions, the public security organ shall make an approval decision, and the operating unit can then carry out the blasting operation.

[0116] During construction, if it is found that the actual situation does not match the data submitted during the assessment and has a greater impact on safety, necessary exploration and surveying work on the blasting object and the environment should be supplemented, the original design should be modified in a timely manner, and major modification parts should be reported for re-assessment.

[0117] 6. Drilling, 1. Hole layout, The hole layout form directly affects the grading of the blasting. The hole layout of this method is rectangular on the plane, as Figure 3 shown.

[0118] 2. Drilling rig alignment

[0119] The alignment of the drilling rig directly affects the drilling quality, and the requirements are: accurate alignment, correct direction, and precise angle.

[0120] 3. Basic requirements for drilling operations

[0121] 1) You must be familiar with the properties of the rock and understand the drilling patterns of different rock strata;

[0122] 2) Master the key points of drilling operation: the hole opening must be complete, the hole wall must be smooth, and the slag removal must be smooth;

[0123] 3) Basic drilling operation method: slow drilling in soft rock and fast drilling in hard rock.

[0124] 4. Hole cleaning and acceptance

[0125] After the blast holes are drilled, compressed air is used to remove rock powder and rock cuttings from the bottom of the holes. The depth and angle of the blast holes are measured. After acceptance, the blast holes are protected to prevent surface water and debris from entering the holes.

[0126] 7. Selection and inspection of explosives and detonators

[0127] Explosives should preferably be in strip-shaped charge; when there is water in the borehole, explosives with good water resistance should be used, and their explosive force and other parameters should be qualified; non-electric millisecond detonating cord detonators should be selected.

[0128] Before blasting, all blasting materials used should be visually inspected. Detonator tubes should not be flattened, damaged, or corroded, and reinforcing caps should not be crooked; detonating cords should be free of broken explosives, foreign objects or blockages, folds, oil stains, perforations, and have sealed ends; emulsion explosives should not be diluted or hardened.

[0129] 8. Explosive loading, 1. Explosive loading structure

[0130] 1) A non-uniform radial decoupled charge structure with full borehole is adopted. The radial decoupling coefficient of the lower part of the borehole is m = 1.0 to 1.3, and the radial decoupling coefficient of the upper part of the borehole is m = 1.5 to 2.0.

[0131] 2) For a borehole diameter of ф140mm, the upper charging section is h3 in length, using ф70mm, ф80mm, ф90mm, and ф100mm explosive cartridges, with the cartridge diameter gradually increasing from top to bottom; the lower charging section is h2 in length, using ф110mm explosive cartridges; the top filling section is h0 in length, using rock powder or stemming clay, compacted layer by layer. See [reference needed]. Figure 4 When the step height H = 15m, the vertical drilling depth is taken as h1 = 1m, and the blast hole length L = 16m, then h2 = 4m, h3 = 8m, and h0 = 4m are taken.

[0132] 2. Loading method

[0133] Manual loading is used. Before loading, various types of explosives of different specifications are placed on the top surface of each hole according to the design quantity. The loading personnel must load the explosives according to the loading structure and quantity, and the loading must be in place.

[0134] 9. Connect to the detonation network, such as Figure 5 As shown, millisecond detonating cord detonators should be used, connected in a cluster to form a parallel detonation network. Detonators in the same row of boreholes should be of the same segment, with the detonators in the later row detonating 100-150ms later than those in the previous row.

[0135] 10. Network Acceptance

[0136] 1. The explosive materials used for network connection must be consistent with the design to ensure that the detonator detonation time matches the design.

[0137] 2. The detonators at the network nodes should be tied in a straight line, with the direction of the detonator's shaped charge hole opposite to the direction of the detonation of the detonating cord. The detonating cords should be evenly distributed on the detonating detonators, tightly wrapped with tape, and covered with sandbags.

[0138] 3. The distance between the detonator of the detonating cord and the binding end of the detonating cord shall not be less than 15cm.

[0139] 4. The protection of the blasting network must be carried out according to the design, and the network safety must be ensured during the protection process.

[0140] 11. Clearing the area, securing the perimeter, and detonating.

[0141] 1. The minimum safe distance for deep-hole bench blasting shall not be less than 200 meters; when blasting along a hillside, the permissible safe distance for flying rocks in the downhill direction should be increased by 50%.

[0142] 2. Based on the warning signal, clear the blast area. After confirming safety, the detonation station will detonate on time according to the command post's instructions.

[0143] 12. Post-blast inspection and removal of dangerous rocks from the slope.

[0144] Fifteen minutes after detonation, once the smoke and dust have dissipated, blasting technicians will conduct a safety inspection of the blasting work area and the warning zone. This inspection will include:

[0145] 1. Confirm whether there are any misfires;

[0146] 2. Is the blast pile stable? Are there any dangerous slopes or rocks?

[0147] 3. Whether the equipment and buildings within the restricted area are damaged.

[0148] After confirming the blast zone is safe, report to the on-site blasting commander and lift the alert. If a misfire is suspected, conduct a misfire inspection and eliminate the possibility of one.

[0149] 13. Inspection and troubleshooting of misfires:

[0150] 1. Inspection of misfires

[0151] After deep-hole bench blasting, the blast pile is clearly thrown forward under normal conditions; the size of the blasted blocks is uniform, and the height of the blast pile is significantly lower than the bench surface; the grooves between the blast pile and the unblasted rock mass are obvious.

[0152] If the following conditions are found during the post-explosion inspection:

[0153] 1) A group of blast holes or individual blast holes did not detonate, the blast pile was incomplete, and the blasted rock mass borne by the unexploded blast holes was intact;

[0154] 2) After the blasting of some blast holes, a few cracks appeared in the rock mass, but most of it remained untouched;

[0155] 3) The rock mass in the local area of ​​the blasting is intact, the top surface of the local area is significantly higher than the blast pile surface, and clear grooves and cracks can be seen around it.

[0156] If any of the above three situations occur, they can be checked and handled as misfires.

[0157] 2. Methods for handling misfires

[0158] 1) Before handling the blasting area, set up danger signs and set up a cordon at a distance of 100m (the specific distance shall be determined by the blasting engineer). Unauthorized personnel shall not approach the area.

[0159] 2) Send experienced blasters to handle the situation, with the participation of blasting engineers.

[0160] 3) The processing method is as follows:

[0203] Application column:

[0204] The second phase of the Sanya Tielugang Quarry project primarily involves deep-hole bench blasting for the extraction of various graded boulders. The quarry extracts granite boulders, characterized by complex geological conditions, highly developed joints, fissures, weathering gullies, fracture zones, and abundant fissure water. The site is also limited, measuring only 400m east to west with a 180m elevation difference, making construction extremely challenging. Guangdong Hongda Blasting Co., Ltd. successfully completed 5.5 million cubic meters of quarry blasting using a rock mass block size zoning, predictive, and controlled blasting method. 3 The blasting and mining of qualified graded boulders met the contract and specification requirements, and the entire construction process was safe and environmentally friendly. This method reduced mining costs by 2.50 yuan / m³ compared to traditional methods. 3 This saved a total of 13.75 million yuan in costs. The project was completed 20 days ahead of schedule, effectively guaranteeing the construction of key national projects.

[0205] The first phase of the Jingshan Temple open-pit mine project in Wuyang City, Henan Province, was a deep-mining and blasting operation with extremely complex geological conditions. The ore grade was low, and the deposits were irregularly distributed, requiring very strict ore gradation and making blasting extremely challenging. Guangdong Hongda Blasting Co., Ltd. successfully completed the mining of 27.98 million tons of qualified ore using a quarry rock mass zoning and predictive and controlled blasting method. The project quality met contract and specification requirements, and the entire construction process was safe and environmentally friendly. This method reduced mining costs by 1.66 yuan / ton compared to traditional methods, resulting in cost savings of 46.45 million yuan. The actual construction period was completed 60 days ahead of schedule, creating significant economic and social benefits.

[0206] The first phase of the Beifang Dahongshan super-large quarry project features a relatively gentle mountain shape with an elevation difference of approximately 60 meters. The site is large in scale, with extremely complex geological conditions, making construction exceptionally challenging. Guangdong Hongda Blasting Co., Ltd. successfully completed 10.32 million cubic meters of quarry blasting using methods of rock mass block zoning, prediction, and controlled blasting. 3 The quarrying project for qualified graded stone was completed, and the project quality met the contract and specification requirements. The entire construction process was safe and environmentally friendly. Thanks to this construction method, construction efficiency and the yield of graded stone blocks were significantly improved, achieving a maximum daily production of 90,000 cubic meters of qualified graded stone. 3 The mining cost is 2.50 yuan / m³ lower than that of traditional methods. 3 This resulted in savings of 25.8 million yuan, and the actual construction period was completed 48 days ahead of schedule, creating significant economic and social benefits and effectively guaranteeing the construction of key national projects.

[0207] The Beifang Dahongshan Extra-Large-Scale Quarry Project, Section 2, features a relatively gentle mountain terrain with an elevation difference of approximately 55 meters. The site is large in scale, with extremely complex geological conditions. The blasting gradation requirements are almost stringent, making blasting and mining extremely difficult. Guangdong Hongda Blasting Co., Ltd. applied quarry rock mass block size zoning, prediction, and controlled blasting methods to complete 9.46 million cubic meters of blasting. 3 The quarrying project for qualified graded stone was completed, with the project quality meeting contractual and specification requirements. The entire construction process was safe and environmentally friendly. Thanks to this construction method, construction efficiency and the yield of graded stone blocks were significantly improved, achieving a maximum daily production of 110,000 cubic meters of qualified graded stone. 3 The mining cost is 2.50 yuan / m³ lower than that of traditional methods. 3 This resulted in savings of 23.65 million yuan, and the actual construction period was 45 days ahead of schedule, creating significant economic and social benefits and effectively guaranteeing the construction of key national projects.

[0208] At the Sanya Tielugang granite quarry, in order to complete the blasting and mining of boulders of various sizes and grades, blasting block size zoning and blasting block size prediction technologies were adopted to optimize blasting parameters. Through computer simulation and processing of blast pile images, the maximum size of the boulders was controlled to not exceed 2500kg, and the content of fine stone materials under 10kg was reduced to below 10%, which met the requirements of different gradations of blast piles.

[0209] This achievement has been successfully applied in blasting projects in Wugang, Henan Province, and the first, second, and third phases of the Northern Dahongshan project, achieving significant economic and social benefits and demonstrating good value for promotion and application.

[0210] This construction method improves resource utilization. Traditional bench blasting technology in quarries designs and constructs blasting operations under the premise that the entire quarry has basically the same geological conditions. In contrast, this method rationally divides the quarry according to six indicators: rock type, rock hardness, average fracture spacing, explosive consumption per unit area, blasting funnel volume, and blasting block size distribution index. This effectively improves the qualified rate of sized stones and increases resource utilization.

[0211] This method allows for the prediction and forecasting of gradation in explosive reactors.

[0212] Traditional bench blasting technology in quarries does not employ a mathematical model for predicting the blast block size distribution. To control the blast block size, adjustments are typically made to the hole layout parameters and the amount of explosive consumed per unit rock. The construction control process relies on experience, which can easily result in excessively fine ore and sometimes even extra-large blocks. In contrast, this method uses the Kuz-Ram model, a mathematical model for predicting the blast block size distribution in quarries. The gradation of the blast pile is predicted before blasting and verified after blasting.

[0213] Energy conservation and emission reduction, and reduction of excessively fine ore. Traditional bench blasting, in order to enhance the crushing effect, generally adopts strong loosening blasting or weak throwing blasting methods, which consume a large amount of explosive per unit of rock, resulting in excessive rock crushing and the generation of excessively fine ore. This method adopts deep-hole bench collapse blasting, which makes full use of the energy and potential energy of explosives to rationally break the rock, reduces the amount of explosives consumed per unit of rock, controls the maximum particle size, reduces excessively fine ore, and meets the requirements for controlling the blasting block size distribution.

[0214] The charging structure is reasonable, effectively reducing dust and debris. Traditional bench blasting generally adopts a fully coupled charging structure to maximize the charge per hole in order to reduce drilling workload and enhance blasting effect. This method adopts a non-uniform, uncoupled charging structure, which not only meets the requirements for blasting block size distribution, but also effectively reduces the content of fragments and debris weighing less than 10 kg.

[0215] By employing a reasonable hole layout, the yield of boulders can be improved. Traditional bench blasting typically uses a quincunx hole layout, while this method uses a rectangular hole layout, which helps to reduce fine ore and increase the yield of graded boulders.

[0216] Using a reasonable detonation sequence is more conducive to the formation of boulders. Traditional bench blasting generally uses boreholes in the same row to be detonated sequentially according to the design order, while this method uses boreholes in the same row to be detonated simultaneously, which is more conducive to the formation of graded boulders.

[0217] The design and optimization are guided by blasting image processing technology. Another difference between this method and traditional bench blasting is the application of image processing technology for the size distribution of blasted piles. This allows for simple and quick verification of the size distribution of blasted piles, guiding the investigation and optimization of blasting parameters and improving the yield of graded boulders.

[0218] The mining platform and construction roads should be arranged in a reasonable manner to meet the needs of high-intensity blasting mining.

[0219] Scope of application: This method is applicable to the mining of multi-graded block stones in large quarries such as mines, transportation, ports, water conservancy, and hydropower, and is also applicable to mining of poor mineral resources under complex geological conditions.

[0220] In deep-hole bench blasting operations, a quarry blasting block size zoning method based on six indicators—rock type, rock hardness, average fracture spacing, explosive consumption per unit volume, blasting hopper volume, and blasting block size distribution index—was adopted to rationally zone the quarry for mining. Based on this zoning, the Kuz-Ram model, a mathematical model for predicting quarry blast pile gradation, was applied to predict the blast pile gradation. Image processing technology for blast pile block size was used to quickly and easily analyze images of the blast pile on-site to obtain the actual blast pile block size distribution. Parameters were then corrected by computer, enabling real-time optimization of blasting parameters for deep-hole bench blasting. A non-uniform, decoupled charging structure was used throughout the hole, and the uncharged section at the borehole opening was tightly sealed with medium-fine sand or stemming clay. Because the lower explosive charge needs to push aside the bottom rock with a greater clamping effect during blasting, the lower charge linear density should be high, and the decoupling coefficient should be small to ensure that the lower rock is blasted open and the upper rock collapses. The upper charge linear density is low, so the upper charge must be controlled, and the decoupling coefficient should be larger. The upper part is the key to controlling excessively fine ore. By controlling the blasting according to the above, the energy of the explosive and the potential energy of the rock can be fully utilized to control the mining requirements of multiple graded ore.

[0221] Matters not covered in this invention are common knowledge.

[0222] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
