[0031] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.
[0032] To solve the technical problems of small production capacity, complex process, high mining and filling cost of broken surrounding rock steeply inclined thin ore body mining process, the present application adopts a gas bag filling technology, which can reduce the mining and filling cost while stabilizing the broken surrounding rock stability of the upper disc, and can also use mechanized sublevel longhole to improve the mining efficiency, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing cost, increasing efficiency and safety of broken surrounding rock steeply inclined thin ore body mining.
[0033] Specifically, referring to Figures 1-5 The present application proposes a broken surrounding rock steeply inclined thin ore body bag type filling mining method, which divides the ore room along the ore body strike, divides each ore room into sublevel stope along the vertical height direction, each sublevel stope is drilled and mined through the sublevel drilling roadway 4, and the sublevel retreat mining is carried out. The mining is carried out by the shovel loading equipment, the gas bag is used to control the roof exposure area during the ore falling process of each mining caving step distance caving ore 5, after the mining is completed, the filling slurry is directly filled into the gas bag to complete the filling of the mined-out area, and the retreat mining is continued after the filling material is solidified, until the whole stope mining and filling is completed.
[0034] In this embodiment, the characteristics of the air bag rapid arrangement can be used to quickly support the surrounding rock, protect the stope operation equipment and personnel safety, and solve the problem of the delayed filling support effect in large-scale mining. At the same time, the air bag has a large contact area with the surrounding rock, a good contact surface, and uniform stress, and the support effect of the broken surrounding rock is better, so that the mine can use mechanized and medium-length hole equipment for large-scale mining in multiple stopes, and solve the contradiction between the safety of the broken surrounding rock and the recovery efficiency in the mining process.
[0035] In addition, the filling material slurry is directly injected into the air bag for consolidation to form a permanent filling body, the bag-type filling can effectively control the amount of filling body, and more economical sand-cement ratio and cementing agent can be used, and at the same time, there is no need to set up a filling retaining wall, the construction process is simple and controllable, and in reducing the filling cost, the air bag separates the caving ore 5 and the filling body, which can prevent the dilution caused by the mixing of the filling material and the ore during the mining blasting.
[0036] In some embodiments, a pressure relief valve is provided on the air bag, as the filling material slurry is continuously injected, the gas in the air bag is continuously discharged through the pressure relief valve, and the pressure in the air bag is kept stable until the filling material slurry fills the entire air bag. The microbial bacteria solution is added to the filling material slurry, and the microbial bacteria solution and the filling material slurry undergo mineralization reaction. Due to the interfacial reaction, a biomimetic calcium carbonate layer is first formed on the inner surface of the air bag, and at the same time, water is consumed to achieve the consolidation of the filling material slurry.
[0037] The above setting has the following advantages: 1) the filling material is injected into the air bag for curing, and the MICP technology is used to consume water to achieve the consolidation of the filling material, and a permanent filling body is formed, so that additional drainage facilities are not needed, and the filling cost is greatly reduced; 2) the added microbial bacteria solution will undergo mineralization reaction with the filling material, and a high-strength biomimetic calcium carbonate layer similar to eggshell is first formed on the inner surface of the air bag, the biomimetic calcium carbonate layer wraps the filling body to form a wall protection structure, which can effectively prevent the impact caused by blasting from causing large-area collapse of the filling body and affecting ore recovery, and can also strengthen the strength of the filling body and reduce the amount of cement and other cementitious materials in the filling material, further reducing the filling operation cost; 3) the filling body is wrapped by the air bag made of flexible material, which can effectively absorb the blasting stress wave generated by the subsequent ore body blasting and mining, so that the attenuated stress wave will not damage the filling body, effectively ensuring the safety of mining.
[0038] Referring to Figure 1In some other embodiments, the air bag comprises several independent air chambers distributed vertically, and the air bag is provided with an inflation nozzle, a pressure relief valve and a slurry filling nozzle corresponding to each independent air chamber. The air bag is inflated through the inflation nozzle, and the slurry is filled into the air bag through the slurry filling nozzle. Control valves are arranged on the inflation nozzle and the slurry filling nozzle to control the interruption and opening of the inflation and slurry filling. When the goaf is formed, the upper independent air chamber is first inflated to support the upper and lower disc surrounding rocks. In order to facilitate the transportation of the ore, the lowermost independent air chamber is not inflated first. After the lower falling ore 5 is mined, the lowermost independent air chamber is inflated to make the air bag completely adhere to the upper and lower disc surrounding rocks. A space of 3-5m is left between the air bag and the ore to be mined 6 to ensure the free surface of blasting and the ventilation of the stope.
[0039] It can be understood that, in actual application, a cemented cushion layer 11 is laid on the air bag to provide a platform for the subsequent sublevel stoping and the arrangement of the next air bag.
[0040] Specifically, the material of the entire air bag is flexible material, which can meet the requirements of the complex shape goaf formed by the blasting of the metal ore mining and the adhesion support. Specifically, the air bag comprises a flexible bag body and a flexible rubber plate wrapped outside the flexible bag body. The flexible rubber plate added on the surface of the flexible bag body can prevent the sharp corners of the rock from piercing the bag body. In addition, the air bag forms a closed filling space. Pressure sensors (not shown in the figure) are arranged on the inner surface and inside the air bag. The state parameter changes of the filling slurry are monitored through the pressure sensors. Combined with intelligent algorithms, the state of the filling body can be monitored and optimized. The problem of the "blind box" in the internal filling of the stope is changed, and intelligent filling operation is realized.
[0041] Specifically, the ore drawing approach 3 is excavated at the sublevel along the vein roadway 2. The sublevel drilling roadway 4 is formed by drawing the bottom along the ore body direction. The sublevel stope is connected to the stope bottom through the draw shaft 10. The ore is mined when the sublevel stope retreats from one side to the other side. The adjacent ore rooms can be arranged for simultaneous mining. When the ore is mined, the cutting groove is first formed on one side. The upward blast hole 9 is drilled in the sublevel drilling roadway 4 through the drilling jumbo. The distance between the blast holes 9 is 1.5m. The ore is blasted and drawn on one side with the cutting groove as the free surface. The step distance of the once mining and drawing is 5m-8m. When the ore is drawn, the upper sublevel loading equipment loads the ore and then leads the ore into the sublevel draw shaft 10 to the bottom sublevel. The ore is transported to the stage transportation roadway 1 by the ore truck. The ore is transported to the main draw shaft 10 or the ground.

[0044] ①During the retreat, first, the cutting groove is formed on one side, and then the upward medium-length blast hole 9 is drilled in the sublevel drift 4 by the small drilling jumbo, with a hole spacing of 1.5m; the blasting is performed to one side with the cutting groove as the free surface, and the once retreat step distance is 5m-8m;
[0045] ②After the blasting is completed, the fresh air flow passes through the ore access 3 from the sublevel drift 2 to the stope, and then flows out from the upper sublevel drift 4 to the stope after the stope is washed along the sublevel drift 4;
[0046] ③After the ventilation is completed, the workers arrange the unfilled air bag 7 through the upper sublevel drift 4 to quickly form the support of the stope surrounding rock, and the lowermost air chamber of the air bag is not inflated to leave the ore discharge space for the stope;
[0047] ④During the ore discharge, the upper sublevel small shovel equipment shovels the ore and then passes through the ore access 3 to the bottom sublevel chute 10, and the ore is transported to the stage transportation roadway 1 by the ore truck, and then the ore is transported to the main chute 10 or the ground;
[0048] ⑤After the ore discharge is completed, the workers inflate all the air chambers of the air bag, and after the three air chambers of the air bag are completely inflated, the filling material is filled into the air bag through the slurry filling nozzle after the next retreat blasting (before the next air bag is laid), and after the filling material is solidified, the filled air bag 8 is formed, and a 0.4m-thick cemented cushion layer 11 is laid above to provide a platform for the next air bag arrangement and the subsequent sublevel retreat.
