Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an underground coal mining system and a coal mining method, specifically to an underground physical fluidized coal mining system and a safe and efficient fluidized coal mining method suitable for various types of mines, especially suitable for the mining of difficult-to-mine (legacy) coal resources such as corner coal, chicken nest coal, geologically complex coal seams, thin coal seams, steeply inclined coal seams and legacy coal pillars, and belongs to the technical field of coal mining. Background Art

[0002] Difficult-to-mine (legacy) coal resources include marginal coal, chicken-nest coal, geologically complex coal seams, thin coal seams, steeply inclined coal seams and legacy coal pillars.

[0003] At present, the mining methods of the above-mentioned difficult-to-mine (legacy) coal resources are still mainly based on the mining technology of arranging the recovery working face, and they all face unavoidable difficulties. The corner coal itself is a legacy of underground mining. Due to the large changes in its shape and coal thickness, it is impossible to arrange comprehensive mining equipment. There is currently no safe and efficient mining technology, and it is generally abandoned. For thin coal seams and steeply inclined coal seams, due to their own occurrence characteristics, the coal mining space is limited, and it is difficult to arrange conventional comprehensive mining equipment. During the mining process, the safety factor is low, the degree of mechanization is low, the labor intensity is high, and the work efficiency is low, which makes the cost of mining thin coal seams and steeply inclined coal seams too high, and most coal mining companies choose to give up mining them. In summary, for difficult-to-mine (legacy) coal resources such as corner coal, chicken coop coal and geologically complex coal seams, the mining method of arranging recovery working faces faces a series of problems such as high cost, low efficiency, great risk, poor flexibility, and inability to give full play to the technical advantages of mechanized mining.

[0013] A coal mining method based on an underground physical fluidized coal mining system, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Drilling construction: Install the coal-breaking drill bit at the front end of the high-pressure sealed drill pipe, install the high-pressure water tail at the rear end of the high-pressure sealed drill pipe, use the drilling rig to drive the high-pressure sealed drill pipe to drill 2 to 4 meters upward along the coal seam and then stop drilling; withdraw the high-pressure sealed drill pipe and the coal-breaking drill bit, replace the coal-breaking drill bit with the reaming drill bit to reame the hole at the mouth of the borehole, and the inner diameter of the reamed hole is larger than the outer diameter of the front sealing casing; insert the front sealing casing at the reaming position, and inject grout in the annulus between the borehole and the front sealing casing to fix the front sealing Casing, then coaxially and tightly install the sealing unit body and the rear sealing casing on the front sealing casing, and install the gas outlet to be tightly connected with the mine gas extraction pipe through a pipeline, and connect the water-coal outlet to the input end of the coal-water collection box through a pipeline; replace the hole-expanding drill bit with a coal-breaking drill bit, and pass the high-pressure sealed drill rod and the coal-breaking drill bit through the hole sealing unit, use the drilling rig to drive the high-pressure sealed drill rod forward to continue drilling to the set distance, then stop drilling, withdraw the high-pressure sealed drill rod and the coal-breaking drill bit, and complete the coal mining drilling construction;

[0015] Step 2: Fluidized gas-coal mining: install the extension device, injection device and coal-breaking drill bit at the front end of the high-pressure sealed drill pipe in sequence, pass the high-pressure sealed drill pipe, extension device, injection device and coal-breaking drill bit through the hole sealing unit, and extend them to the bottom of the coal mining borehole; start the high-pressure water pump, and control the high-pressure sealed drill pipe to rotate at an appropriate speed through the drilling rig to hydraulically break the coal. The broken coal body flows back to the inner cavity of the sealing unit body through the annulus between the borehole and the high-pressure sealed drill pipe with the water, and flows into the coal-water collection box through the water-coal discharge port, and is finally sent to the water-coal separation by the slurry conveying pump The gas released by the broken coal body flows into the inner cavity of the sealing unit body through the annulus between the borehole and the high-pressure sealing drill rod, and enters the gas extraction pipe of the mine through the gas outlet; the step-backward coal mining method is adopted to control the high-pressure sealing drill rod to move forward and backward within the set range until the coal output of the borehole is greatly reduced, and then the high-pressure sealing drill rod is controlled to retreat to the rear by the set step distance, and so on, and the "retreat-coal-break-retreat-coal-break" cycle is carried out until the extension device, the injection device and the coal-breaking drill bit are close to the hole sealing unit, and the mining of the coal body around the borehole is completed;

[0016] Step 3, borehole filling: A borehole coal mining cavern is formed during the retreat of the high-pressure sealed drill rod. After all the coal around the borehole is mined, the borehole coal mining cavern is grouting-filled to form a borehole filling area after grouting of the entire borehole coal mining cavern. After the borehole filling area is formed by grouting, other coal mining boreholes are arranged at set intervals to continue physical fluidization coal mining. After the filling slurry in the borehole filling area solidifies, coal mining boreholes are arranged in the vicinity of the borehole filling area for physical fluidization coal mining.

[0017] As a further improvement scheme of the present invention, the coal mining process within each set backward step is as follows: first, the high-pressure water pump is set to operate within the pressure range of 8 to 15 MPa, so that all the high-pressure water flows out through the jet nozzle of the injection device, and the coal body within this step is cut and crushed; when the coal output under this working state is greatly reduced, the working pressure of the high-pressure water pump is increased to greater than 15 MPa, so that all the high-pressure water flows out through the jet nozzle of the extension device, and the coal body within this step is continued to be cut and crushed, until the coal output from the borehole is greatly reduced again, and the fluidized gas coal mining operation within this step is completed.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, according to the coal seam conditions and tunnel conditions, the fluidized drilling gas coal mining part is set in the lower chute coal tunnel of the coal seam to be mined, or in the bottom rock tunnel of the coal seam to be mined.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, when the underground physical fluidized coal mining system and method are used for coal mining operations, there is no need to arrange the mining face and large-scale mechanical equipment. The operation is simple, safe and reliable, and can achieve safe and efficient mining of difficult-to-mine (legacy) coal resources such as corner coal, chicken nest coal, geologically complex coal seams, thin coal seams, steeply inclined coal seams and legacy coal pillars. Secondly, the jet crushing of the coal body can make the gas fully desorbed and gushed out. The gas extraction volume and extraction concentration extracted through the gas extraction pipe are high, which can be directly used for gas generators, and can achieve efficient development and utilization of gas resources. Moreover, gas and dust will not be directly discharged into the tunnel or chamber, and the operators are far away from the coal breaking area, which can achieve a better working environment and work safety. In addition, after the mining is completed, the coal mining cave can be filled through the filling pipeline, which can reliably control the deformation of the overburden and the surface subsidence, protect the surface ecological environment, and realize the green mining of the coal seam.

[0035] When using this underground physical fluidized coal mining system to mine difficult-to-mine (legacy) coal resources, this underground physical fluidized coal mining system is set at the lower end of the coal seam inclination and a retreat-type coal mining method is adopted. The fluidized drilling gas coal mining part can be Figure 1 As shown, it is arranged in the coal lane of the lower drift 10 of the coal seam 9 to be mined, and can also be Figure 6 As shown, it is set in the bottom rock tunnel of the coal seam 9 to be mined and is flexibly arranged according to the coal seam conditions and tunnel conditions.

[0036] When the fluidized drilling gas coal mining part of the underground physical fluidized coal mining system is used for coal mining, the arrangement of the boreholes penetrating the coal seam 12 is an upward hole from bottom to top along the inclined direction of the coal seam, and multiple boreholes can be drilled simultaneously for coal mining. Specifically:

[0037] Step 1, drilling construction: install the coal-breaking drill bit 1-1 at the front end of the high-pressure sealed drill pipe 1-4, install the high-pressure water tail 1-5 at the rear end of the high-pressure sealed drill pipe 1-4, use the drilling rig 1-6 to drive the high-pressure sealed drill pipe 1-4 to drill 2 to 4 meters upward along the coal seam and then stop drilling; withdraw the high-pressure sealed drill pipe 1-4 and the coal-breaking drill bit 1-1, replace the coal-breaking drill bit 1-1 with the reaming drill bit, expand the hole mouth position of the borehole, and the inner diameter of the expanded hole is larger than the outer diameter size of the front sealing casing 2-1; insert the front sealing casing 2-1 at the expanded hole position, and grouting is performed in the annulus between the borehole and the front sealing casing 2-1 to fix the front sealing casing 2 -1, then coaxially and tightly fixedly install the sealing unit body 2-2 and the rear sealing sleeve 2-3 on the front sealing sleeve 2-1, and install the gas outlet 2-5 in tight connection with the mine gas extraction pipe 11 through a pipeline, and connect the water-coal outlet 2-6 to the input end of the coal-water collecting box 6 through a pipeline; replace the hole-expanding drill bit with the coal-breaking drill bit 1-1, and after the high-pressure sealing drill rod 1-4 and the coal-breaking drill bit 1-1 pass through the hole sealing unit 2, use the drilling rig 1-6 to drive the high-pressure sealing drill rod 1-4 to continue drilling forward to the set distance, then stop drilling, withdraw the high-pressure sealing drill rod 1-4 and the coal-breaking drill bit 1-1, and complete the coal mining drilling construction;

[0038] Step 2, fluidized gas coal mining: install the extension device 1-3, the injection device 1-2 and the coal-breaking drill bit 1-1 at the front end of the high-pressure sealed drill pipe in sequence, and pass the high-pressure sealed drill pipe 1-4, the extension device 1-3, the injection device 1-2 and the coal-breaking drill bit 1-1 through the hole sealing unit 2 and extend them to the bottom of the coal mining borehole; start the high-pressure water pump 1-7, and control the high-pressure sealed drill pipe 1-4 to rotate at an appropriate speed through the drilling rig 1-6 to hydraulically break the coal, and the broken coal body flows back to the inner cavity of the sealing unit body 2-2 with the water through the annulus between the borehole and the high-pressure sealed drill pipe 1-4, and flows into the collection box 6 through the water-coal discharge port 2-6. Finally, it is delivered to the water-coal separation unit 3 by the slurry delivery pump 7, and the gas released by the broken coal body flows into the inner cavity of the sealing unit body 2-2 through the annulus between the borehole and the high-pressure sealing drill rod 1-4, and enters the mine gas extraction pipe 11 through the gas discharge port 2-5; a step-by-step backward coal mining method is adopted to control the high-pressure sealing drill rod 1-4 to move forward and backward within a set range until the coal output of the borehole is greatly reduced, and then the high-pressure sealing drill rod 1-4 is controlled to retreat to the rear by a set step distance, and so on, to carry out the "backward-coal breaking-backward-coal breaking" cycle until the injection device 1-2 approaches the orifice sealing unit 2 to complete the mining of the coal body around the borehole.

[0039] Step 3: Drilling and filling: Figure 2As shown, a borehole coal mining cave 5 is formed during the retreat of the high-pressure sealed drill rod 1-4. After all the coal around the borehole is mined out, the borehole coal mining cave 5 is grouting-filled to form a borehole filling area 4 after grouting of the entire borehole coal mining cave 5. After the borehole filling area 4 is formed by grouting, other coal mining boreholes are arranged at set intervals to continue physical fluidization coal mining. After the filling slurry in the borehole filling area 4 solidifies, coal mining boreholes are arranged in the vicinity of the borehole filling area 4 to carry out physical fluidization coal mining.

[0040] In order to expand the coal mining diameter and increase the coal mining volume of a single borehole, the coal mining process within the single retreat setting step is as follows: first, set the high-pressure water pump 1-7 to work within the pressure range of 8 to 15MPa, so that all the high-pressure water flows out through the jet nozzle 1-2-1 of the injection device 1-2, and the coal body within this step is cut and crushed; when the coal output under this working state is greatly reduced, increase the working pressure of the high-pressure water pump 1-7 to be greater than 15MPa, so that all the high-pressure water flows out through the jet nozzle 1-3-1 of the extension device 1-3, and the coal body within this step is continued to be cut and crushed until the coal output of the borehole is greatly reduced again, and the fluidized gas coal mining operation within this step is completed.

[0041] In order to realize the filling of coal mining caverns, the underground physical fluidized coal mining system also includes a coal mining cave filling part, which includes a slurry making device and a pump pressure filling device. The slurry making device includes a crusher, a screener, a mixer and a feeder. The pump pressure filling device includes a filling pump and a filling pipeline.

[0042] When the underground physical fluidized coal mining system and method are used for coal mining operations, there is no need to arrange the mining face and large-scale mechanical equipment. The operation is simple, safe and reliable, and can achieve safe and efficient mining of difficult-to-mine (legacy) coal resources such as corner coal, chicken nest coal, geologically complex coal seams, thin coal seams, steeply inclined coal seams and legacy coal pillars. Secondly, the jet crushing of the coal body can make the gas fully desorbed and gushed out. The gas extraction volume and extraction concentration extracted through the gas extraction pipe are high, which can be directly used for gas generators, and can achieve efficient development and utilization of gas resources. Moreover, gas and dust will not be directly discharged into the tunnel or chamber, and the operators are far away from the coal breaking area, which can achieve a better working environment and work safety. In addition, after the mining is completed, the coal mining cave can be filled through the filling pipeline, which can control the deformation of the overburden and the surface subsidence, protect the surface ecological environment, and realize the green mining of the coal seam.
