[0002] The contradiction between coal mining and ecological environment protection has always been an urgent problem to be solved in the development of my country's coal mining technology. According to incomplete statistics, every ton of coal mined will destroy about 2m 3 Water resources: The coal mining process directly destroys the structure of groundwater aquifers, changes the recharge, runoff and discharge methods of groundwater aquifers, affects the water circulation conditions of groundwater aquifers, forms groundwater funnels and causes great damage to regional water resources.

[0003] Water-preserving mining in extremely thick coal seams has always been a technical bottleneck in the high-quality development of coal in my country's ecologically fragile mining areas in western China.

[0004] Therefore, how to rationally and efficiently utilize solid waste products such as coal gangue in mining areas to maximize the recovery rate of extra-thick coal seams while achieving water resource protection (water-saving mining) is a difficult problem that coal science and technology workers urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems existing in the traditional technology and to provide a method for coal mining with coal pillar filling and water conservation in the stratified mining section of the working face of an extra-thick coal seam.

Dig the next layered coal transportation tunnel and return air tunnel according to the comprehensive mechanized coal mining tunnel layout mode, and open a cut when the coal transportation tunnel and return air tunnel reach the boundary of the working face, and arrange coal mining and support equipment in the cut at the same time;

[0014] S7, the lower layer working face carries out normal mining operation, when advancing through the upper layer section coal pillar connecting lane, the grouting pipeline arranged beside the upper layer section coal pillar starts grouting from the grouting boreholes in the upper layer connecting lane and the working face goaf to form a filling body;

[0015] S8. Repeat steps S2 to S7 until the water-preserving coal mining operation of the entire extra-thick coal seam working face is completed.

[0016] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned coal pillar filling and water-preserving coal mining method in the stratified mining section of the extra-thick coal seam working face, the coal pillar in the upper stratified section should be designed to be located in the middle position in the inclination direction of the lower stratified working face.

[0017] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for coal mining with coal pillar filling and water conservation in the stratified mining section of the extra-thick coal seam working face, the advancement direction of the lower stratified working face is consistent with the length direction of the coal pillar in the upper stratified section.

[0019] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for coal pillar filling and water-preserving coal mining in the stratified mining section of the extra-thick coal seam working face, the specific value of the spacing D is related to the length S of the filling body.

[0020] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for coal mining with coal pillar filling and water conservation in the stratified mining section of the working face of the extra-thick coal seam, the height H of the filling body formed after grouting filling is more than 80% of the mining height.

[0021] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for coal mining with pillar filling and water conservation in the stratified mining section of the extra-thick coal seam working face, the coal mining equipment includes a coal mining machine and a scraper conveyor, and the support equipment includes a fully mechanized hydraulic support.

[0022] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method of coal pillar filling and water-preserving coal mining in the stratified mining section of the extra-thick coal seam working face, after adopting the method of coal pillar filling and water-preserving coal mining in the stratified mining section of the extra-thick coal seam working face, the impact of mining will not damage the overlying aquifer with ecological protection or water supply value.

[0042] S8. Repeat steps S2 to S7 until the water-preserving coal mining operation of the entire extra-thick coal seam working face is completed.

[0047] The relevant specific embodiments of the present invention are:

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] The designed production capacity of a mine in a certain mining area is 5.00Mt / a, and the main coal seam is 3# coal. The coal seam is buried at a depth of 150m, and the average thickness of the 3# coal seam is 9m. The surface aquifer overlying the coal seam is highly water-rich. Considering the requirements for surface vegetation and ecological environment protection, as well as reducing the amount of water inflow and potential disasters of water inrush during mining at the working face, water-saving coal mining operations need to be carried out. Combined with the coal pillar filling water-saving coal mining method for the stratified mining section of the working face of a particularly thick coal seam of the present invention, the specific steps are described as follows:

[0050] 1) According to the layout of comprehensive mechanized coal mining tunnels, the upper layer coal transportation tunnels and return air tunnels are excavated. When the coal transportation tunnels and return air tunnels are excavated to the boundary of the working face, a cut is made. The main coal mining and support equipment such as coal mining machines, scraper conveyors and fully mechanized hydraulic supports are arranged in the cut. The designed working face length L is 200m, the mining height is 3m, and mining is divided into 3 layers;

[0051] 2) A section coal pillar 5 is reserved between adjacent working faces in the upper layer, and the width W of the section coal pillar 5 is designed to be 20m. The grouting pipeline 6 is arranged on the ground close to the section coal pillar 5; a grouting borehole 3 is arranged in the connecting lane of the section coal pillar 5, and two grouting boreholes 3 are arranged in each adjacent working face. The spacing D of the grouting boreholes 3 is designed to be 15m, and the length of the filling body is designed to be 90m;

[0052] 3) Dig the next layered coal transportation roadway and return air roadway according to the comprehensive mechanized coal mining roadway layout mode, and open a cut when the coal transportation roadway and return air roadway are dug to the boundary of the working face. Arrange the main coal mining and support equipment such as coal mining machine, scraper conveyor and fully mechanized hydraulic support in the cut at the same time. The section coal pillar 5 between the upper layer fully mechanized mining working faces is arranged in the middle position of the lower layer fully mechanized mining working face;

[0053] 4) The lower layer working face carries out normal mining operation. When advancing through the connecting tunnel of the coal pillar 5 in the upper layer section, the grouting pipeline 6 arranged beside the coal pillar 5 in the upper layer section starts to grout from the grouting borehole 3 in the connecting tunnel and the working face to form a gangue, fly ash, and cement cementing filling body 4. According to the numerical simulation analysis results of the height development law of the water-conducting fracture zone, as shown in Figure 4 As shown; the height H of the filling body 4 is designed to be 2.7m;

[0054] 5) Repeat the above steps to complete the water-preserving coal mining operation of the entire extra-thick coal seam working face.
