As an effective means of actively protecting the ecology of the mine, the filling mining technology can solve the problem of gangue accumulation in the mining area and has good economic and ecological benefits. In the current filling operation, the coal gangue is separated by a ground coal washing plant, and then the gangue is sent to the goaf through vertical feeding or return gangue inclined shaft and conveying equipment.

The coal gangue is screened on the ground, and then returned to the underground through the feeding shaft and conveying equipment. The process is complicated. During the gangue filling process, the filling operation is usually carried out after the coal cutting by the coal mining machine is completed, the hydraulic support is lowered and moved, and the pushing is completed. The coal mining machine cannot carry out coal mining operation during the filling operation, and the coal mining and filling work cannot be carried out in parallel. It takes 3-4 hours to fill one coal mining step, which seriously affects the improvement of coal mining efficiency and the production benefit of the entire mining area, especially for longwall large mining height working face coal mines.
