During the drift recovery process, no support is generally provided. Due to the high strength requirement of the filling body, the filling cost of the mine is high. How to ensure the safety of the stope working face and reduce the filling cost is a problem to be solved in the mine using the downward drift cemented filling method, and has certain economic and social benefits.

[0003] In the prior art, a downward drift partial filling mining method is disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN106014410A. The mining area is divided into alternating interval filling layers and complete filling layers in the vertical direction. The interval filling layers and the complete filling layers are each divided into a plurality of alternating blocks. The interval filling layers and the complete filling layers are arranged orthogonally. The ore body is mined by downward drift layer by layer.

[0004] However, the process method provided in the above-mentioned technology has the risk of roof fall. During the two-step drift recovery, the filling bodies on both sides have the risk of collapse. Moreover, the mining and filling cost is high.

By deploying pressure sensors within the backfill material in the first-stage mining area to monitor pressure changes, and displacement sensors within the second-stage mining approach to monitor roof displacement, the stability changes of the pillars and roof are analyzed through the coordinated monitoring of pressure and displacement sensors. This allows for the prediction of potential roof collapses and spalling hazards, and an assessment of the safety of the working face. Compared to conventional down-entry cemented backfilling, this method allows for timely monitoring of pillar stress changes and roof subsidence, enabling the analysis and prediction of mining stability and ensuring the safety of life and property during mining operations.
