Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of mining, and particularly relates to a long upward drift filling mining method. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, when mining an acute-inclined thick ore body by using the upward horizontal drift filling mining method, the layered ore body is generally divided into several drifts along the ore body strike, and then the drifts are mined and filled in turn. Sometimes, in order to improve the mining efficiency and the ore output capacity, two-step mining and filling of the ore body is adopted, and one ore body is mined every other one, and meanwhile, several drifts are mined. However, due to the too short drift, the mining equipment needs to be frequently transferred, which reduces the mining efficiency of the equipment. In addition, when the drift is mined to the deep part, due to the reasons such as air flow shunting or short circuit, the air flow is difficult to enter the mining working face, which affects the ventilation effect. SUMMARY

[0008] Step four: when mining the ore body of the layered ore block, the strip mining is adopted; each three strip ore bodies near each other form a group, and the three strip ore bodies in the group are mined in a certain order one by one: first, the strip ore body near the lower disc of the group is mined, then the strip ore body near the upper disc of the group is mined, and finally the middle strip ore body is mined; when mining a single strip ore body, the mining is retreated from the return air vein to the cutting vein, and the isolation pillars at both ends are temporarily not mined. After each strip ore body in the group is mined, the cemented filling is formed to form a filling body;

[0009] Step five: after all the strip ore bodies of the layered ore block are mined and filled, the isolation pillars on both sides of the cutting vein are retreated from the return air roadway to the segmented transportation roadway, and are filled immediately after mining; the return air vein of the layered ore block is connected to the segmented transportation roadway in the reverse direction, and will be used as the cutting vein of the adjacent unmined layered ore block; the isolation pillars in the return air vein will not be mined, and will be left for the next ore block mining; the return air vein of the ore block is connected to the segmented transportation roadway, and is used as the cutting vein of the next ore block mining;

[0010] Step six: repeat steps four and five to complete the mining of the entire ore body.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present application, when mining the layered ore block, the fresh air flow enters the strip ore body mining working face through the segmented transportation roadway, the segmented connecting passage, the cutting vein and the mining access in sequence, and after washing dust, the dirty air enters the return air vein through the mined-out area of the strip ore body, and then enters the air return roadway outside the vein through the return air vein, and finally enters the special air return well to be discharged to the ground.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present application, when mining the strip ore body and the isolation pillar of the layered ore block, upward fan-shaped medium-length hole drilling and blasting are adopted, the hole spacing is 0.8-1.2m, the blast hole row spacing is 0.8-1.2m, and 4-8 rows of holes are drilled at one time; 4-8 rows of holes are simultaneously detonated at one time, and then the air is ventilated and the dust is settled, and then the ore is mined.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present application, the cross section shape of the cutting vein, the mining access and the return air vein is three-centered arch type or rectangular.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present application, each group of strip ore bodies in the layered ore block can be simultaneously mined according to the predetermined mining order in the group.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. Compared with the traditional upward access filling method, the present application has a long mining access, reduces the number of times of changing the mining and loading equipment, has good mining continuity, and further improves the ore mining capacity and mining efficiency through the upward fan-shaped medium-length hole drilling and blasting of the whole strip section.

[0017] 2. Compared with the traditional upward drift filling method, the method does not need to consider the post-solidification mining of the filling body, the continuity of the mining filling and the re-mining is good, the continuous mining can be realized, and the ore output capacity and the mining efficiency are further improved.

[0018] 3. Compared with the traditional upward drift filling method, the stoping working face of the mining method is always located on the necessary airway of fresh air flow, and there is always fresh air flow supply, the ventilation effect is good, and the ventilation safety of the mining operation can be better ensured.
