TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of coal mining, in particular to a method for realizing continuous coal pillar-free mining in a mining area in an advancing mode. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, most of the minefields in China are mined in a mining area mode, which is divided into an advancing mode and a retreating mode. The traditional retreating mode needs to excavate two roadways in advance, which has a long initial construction time, a slow production, and can easily cause tension between mining and excavation in the working face. In the advancing mode, the upper and lower crossheading can be excavated along with mining, and the working face and the roadway can be cut by a coal mining machine, which simplifies the excavation process, reduces the excavation equipment and cost, can understand the geological structure in the minefield in advance during the excavation, and can simultaneously perform the excavation and the mining, thereby greatly improving the mining efficiency, and the end equipment of the working face is relatively simple and does not need to consider the air leakage problem of the goaf.
[0003] In the underground mining in China, at least 20-40m protective coal pillars need to be reserved between the upramps and on both sides of the upramps, and 20-30m protective roadway pillars need to be reserved between the adjacent working faces. The traditional retreating mode is difficult to completely recover the protective coal pillars and the protective roadway pillars, and there is a great loss of coal.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application proposes to use the staggered horizon technology to realize the coal pillar-free mining between the working faces, use the gob-side entry retaining technology to realize the coal pillar-free mining between the main roadway and the upramps, and finally realize the advancing mode continuous coal pillar-free mining technology in the mining area.

[0012] f. When the first mining working face advances to the vicinity of the boundary protection coal pillar, whether to use the double back withdrawal channel technology is selected according to the mining and excavation tension relationship;

[0015] i. According to the arrangement position of the air shaft, the transportation roadway is abandoned or kept, if the central parallel ventilation mode is used, the transportation roadway can be abandoned in sections, if the central split ventilation mode is used, the transportation roadway needs to be left along the goaf by using the roof cutting and pressure releasing roadway or masonry wall during the working face advancing process, to continue to serve the connection mining area.

[0018] In step b, during the initial stage of the working face, the working face is excavated, and the transportation roadway and the return air roadway do not need to be pre-excavated.
[0019] In step c, the transportation uphole is not kept during the initial mining of the working face, and a sealing wall needs to be punched after the working face pushes through the transportation uphole to block the air flow along the transportation uphole to the goaf.
[0020] In step d, the working face is pushed forward until the mining area boundary coal pillar is stopped, and the remaining transport roadway is used for moving;
[0021] In step e, the remaining working face in the upper part of the mining area is prepared for mining by using the transport uphole as a open-off cut, and the already mined transport uphole can be directly abandoned, and the track uphole is reserved by filling support for the working face return air route;
[0022] In step f, the last working face in the upper part of the mining area can use the transport roadway as the air inlet lane of the working face, and adopt the "Z" type ventilation mode for mining, and then the transport roadway is reserved by the gob-side entry retaining technology to continue to serve the lower mining area.

[0033] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] a. In the middle of the minefield, the main haulage roadway and return air roadway are arranged in parallel along the coal seam strike, and the track incline and haulage incline are arranged in parallel along the coal seam dip. A connecting roadway is arranged between the track incline and the haulage incline. The first mining face is located at the upper boundary of the minefield.
[0035] b. The track incline serves as the opening cut of the first mining face, and the two connecting roadways between the inclines serve as the transport roadway and the return air roadway, respectively, forming the production system;
[0036] c. No main roadway protective coal pillar is retained on one side of the working face along the track incline. The hydraulic support is directly set on the track incline. During mining, the roadway is formed by cutting the top to relieve pressure or building a wall to achieve the roadway retention along the track incline.
[0037] d. The first mining face is pushed over the transport uphill section, and the abandoned section is transported uphill directly, and a sealed wall is built to block the airflow from flowing uphill to the goaf.
[0038] e. The first mining face continues to advance along the dip for mining, and the return airway and transport roadway are pre-excavated forward. The goaf behind is covered with anti-air leakage cloth, and the two roadways are preserved by using the roadway side filling technology.
[0039] f. When the first mining face advances to the vicinity of the boundary protection coal pillar, the decision on whether to adopt the double retreat channel technology is made based on the mining tension.
[0040] g. The return airway of the subsequent working face is pre-excavated and arranged in an "internal staggered" manner below the goaf of the transport roadway of the first mining face. The transport roadway is pre-excavated and arranged on the roof of the coal seam. The hydraulic support is moved to the track and uphill. Its mining process is the same as that of the aforementioned patent protection rights b, c, d, e, and f.
[0041] h. The last working face in the upper mining area directly uses the main haulage roadway as the working face intake and haulage level roadway, while the first working face in the lower mining area uses the return air main roadway as the return air level roadway.
[0042] i. Depending on the location of the ventilation shaft, the main transport roadway may be scrapped or retained. If the zone adopts a central parallel ventilation method, the main transport roadway may be scrapped in sections. If a central split ventilation method is adopted, the main transport roadway may be retained along the goaf by cutting the top to relieve pressure or building walls during the working face advance, so as to continue to serve the subsequent mining area.
