Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of filling engineering, and in particular to a pipeline non-cleaning filling method and a filling system for filling with cement paste. Background Art

[0002] The proportion of the paste for coal mine gangue paste filling is generally composed of coal gangue + cement + fly ash + water. The coal mine paste filling system generally builds the filling station on the ground. The entire filling pipeline system has a one-time conveying length of 1000m to 6000m and the pipeline direction is basically a negative slope. In order to ensure the safety of pipeline transportation, it is generally required that the filling material should not be separated or leak water within the pumpable time, and the slump should meet the requirements. It is required to ensure that the pipeline paste is full in the early stage of filling to avoid water hammer damage to the pipeline. At the same time, it is required to push out the residual paste in the pipeline at the end of filling and clean the pipeline to facilitate the next filling cycle. Therefore, each filling cycle wastes about 100m of water. 3 ~500m 3 , 30m of filling material wasted 3 ~200m 3 Each production cycle has an ineffective working time of 3 to 5 hours. Replacing the filling with a non-cementing paste is an effective method, but the significant performance differences between non-cementing and cementing pastes result in significant pressure fluctuations in the filling pipeline. Therefore, the use of non-cementing pastes places higher demands on the process parameters for the next filling cycle. Without adaptive improvements, it will be difficult to ensure pipeline safety, thereby reducing its service life.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] See also Figure 1As shown, the present invention first provides a pipeline non-cleaning filling system for cement paste, including a surface slurrying system 10 and a downhole filling and conveying system 20; the surface slurrying system 10 includes a slurrying module and a surface filling main pipe 17, and the downhole filling and conveying system 20 includes a downhole filling main pipe 21 connected to the surface filling main pipe 17 and a hydraulic screw agitator 22 arranged on the downhole filling main pipe 21. A first stop valve 16 is provided between the surface filling main pipe 17 and the downhole filling main pipe 21. The end of the downhole filling main pipe 21 is connected to the filling area 24 and is provided with a second stop valve 23. With this arrangement, the paste is prepared on the ground and then gradually conveyed to the filling area 24 through the surface filling main pipe 17 and the downhole filling main pipe 21. The first stop valve 16 and the second stop valve 23 are used to control the opening and closing of the paste conveying, so as to facilitate the control of the conveying of different pastes and the conveying amount. The hydraulic spiral stirrer 22 facilitates stirring and dispersing the non-cemented paste in the downhole filling trunk pipe 21 to prevent it from settling and affecting the transportation in the pipeline and the filling performance after entering the filling area 24.

[0034] Specifically, hydraulic spiral agitators 22 are installed every 500-1000 meters along the downhole filling mainline 21. These agitators are hydraulically driven, and a centralized surface control and monitoring system facilitates comprehensive monitoring of downhole operations. Downhole filling mainline 21 typically ranges from 1000 to 6000 meters in length and has a diameter of 100-500 mm.

[0035] The pulping module includes a solid material feed unit 11, a liquid material feed unit 12, a mixing unit 13, a filling pump 14, and a switching valve 15. The switching valve 15 is connected to a first shut-off valve 16. The switching valve 15 is also connected to a sewage tank 18 for cleaning and treating the surface filling main line 17. The solid material feed unit 11 is used to add aggregates such as coal gangue, aeolian sand, fly ash, and Portland cement. The switching valve 15 switches the line between flowing underground or to the sewage tank 18, facilitating filling pumping and cleaning of the surface pulping system 10.

[0036] The liquid material feeding unit 12 includes a suspending agent addition tank 121, a filling pump 122, a flowmeter solenoid valve 123, and a water weighing hopper 124, which are connected in sequence. The water weighing hopper 124 is connected to the mixing unit 13. The suspending agent is added to the water weighing hopper 124 of the ground paste preparation system through a pumped pipeline and measured by a flowmeter. The metering signal is connected to the ground filling centralized monitoring system.

[0037] Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for filling a pipe with a cement paste without cleaning, comprising the following steps:

[0038] S1. Prepare cementing paste and non-cementing paste;

[0039] S2. Use cementing paste to transport it to the area to be filled 24 through the ground filling trunk pipe 17 and the underground filling trunk pipe 21 in sequence. When the filling is completed, start transporting non-cementing paste and ensure that the underground filling trunk pipe 21 is filled with non-cementing paste. Generally, before the first filling, the volume of the paste trunk pipe is calculated based on the inner diameter and length of the filling pipe, so as to facilitate the control of the pumping volume of the non-cementing paste.

[0040] S3. Close the second stop valve 23 and the first stop valve 16 in sequence, and then drain and clean the ground filling main pipe 17; clean the ground filling main pipe 17 to reserve a certain pipeline space for the next circulation pumping, thereby improving the stability of the paste pumping and preventing the old non-cemented paste from causing large fluctuations when the pumping is started directly, affecting the stability of the pipeline.

[0041] S4. When the next filling is to be carried out, new non-cementing paste is pumped in first. After all the old non-cementing paste is discharged to the area to be filled 24, the cementing paste is pumped in again, thus realizing the cyclic filling without cleaning.

[0042] In this way, after the filling is completed, the non-cementing paste is filled in the underground filling trunk pipe 21. The non-cementing flowable characteristics of the paste are used to prevent the paste from being blocked in the underground filling trunk pipe 21, so there is no need to consume a large amount of clean water to clean the pipeline. At the same time, the paste can also play a filling role in the filling area 14, so that the non-cementing paste is first discharged into the filling area 24 at the beginning of the circulation filling, reducing the waste of the paste and the amount of cement, thus saving costs. Moreover, the old non-cementing paste forms the initial base layer in the filling area 24, the new non-cementing paste forms the transition layer, and finally the cementing paste forms the high-strength support layer. The filling process formed in this way can not only ensure the strength of the filling area 24, but also avoid pipeline cleaning, reduce resource waste, save filling time, and realize continuous and uninterrupted filling of multiple filling areas, thereby improving filling capacity. In addition, since the dispersion uniformity and stability of the old non-cementitious paste will change during the circulation waiting process, in order to prevent it from affecting the stability of the pipeline flow, the present invention first pumps the same non-cementitious paste at the beginning of the circulation to achieve the transition of cementitious paste pumping, thereby reducing the pipeline fluctuation problem caused by excessive slurry differences.

[0043] In particular, in step S4, pumping and filling includes:

[0044] S41 before restarting the pumping, first start the downhole filling main pipe on the hydraulic spiral stirrer 22, the non-cemented paste is stirred and dispersed;

[0045] S42. Prepare the non-cement paste again, and the volume of the paste should be greater than or equal to the volume of the trunk pipeline, for example, equal to or 1-5m larger. 3The purpose is to completely discharge the old non-cemented paste to facilitate the formation of a stable pumping transition.

[0046] S43. Open the first stop valve 16 and the second stop valve 23, and make the opening degree of the second stop valve 23 1 / 2, and start pumping the slurry; 3m before pumping 3 The pumping capacity is 10~30m 3 / h, pulping reaches 20m 3 When the pumping capacity is increased to 120-150m 3 / h; when the pumping capacity reaches 50m 3 / h, fully open the second stop valve 23; in this way, by controlling the opening degree of the second stop valve 23 during the pumping process, the pumping stability is regulated.

[0047] S44. After all the old non-cemented paste is discharged and the pressure at each pressure monitoring point of the pipeline is normal, start preparing the cemented paste and carry out the normal filling cycle.

[0048] The cementitious paste of the present invention uses the same aggregates as the non-cementitious paste: gangue or aeolian sand, and fly ash. Specifically, the cementitious paste of the present invention preferably comprises gangue or aeolian sand, fly ash, Portland cement, and water. The cementitious paste has a mass concentration of 70% to 82%, the gangue aggregate particle size is generally less than or equal to 10 mm, and the mass ratio of the components is approximately 6:1:1:2. The cementitious paste can be pumped for 2 to 4 hours after standing.

[0049] The non-cemented paste is composed of coal gangue or aeolian sand, fly ash, suspending agent and water. The mass concentration of the non-cemented paste is 75% to 80%; the particle size of the coal gangue aggregate is generally less than or equal to 10mm, of which the proportion of gangue powder with a particle size of less than 0.08mm is not less than 30%, and the amount of fly ash is not more than 100kg / m 3 , the dosage of suspension agent is 5~10kg / m 3 The non-cemented paste should be pumpable for at least 24 hours and have a slump of 240mm to 260mm. Suspending agents include one or more of polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, and sodium lauryl sulfate. Suspending agents slow the settling rate of the non-cemented paste aggregate, ensuring safe delivery of the paste after the system restarts after the designed settling time.

[0050] The present invention reduces the difference between the two pastes by designing the same type of aggregate for the cementitious paste and the non-cementitious paste, which helps to improve the stability of the conveying transition; moreover, after entering the filling area 24, the transition layer formed by the non-cementitious paste facilitates the formation of a high-strength support layer with the cementitious paste to achieve a high-strength interface bonding, thereby improving the filling stability.

[0051] After the system and process of the present invention are put into operation, the filling time of each time is effectively shortened by 3 hours, the filling air, water, electricity and material inputs are reduced, continuous and uninterrupted filling of multiple filling areas can be achieved, and the filling capacity is improved.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
