Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rock breaking, in particular, especially relates to a rock square operation area mining device and method based on high-voltage pulse discharge. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rock breaking is a process and theory of making part of the rock mass separate from the parent body and break into rock blocks. The common schemes of rock breaking include explosive breaking method and mechanical breaking method.

[0003] In the existing common rock breaking scheme, the explosive breaking method uses high-energy explosives to fragment the rock mass or large rock into small pieces to open up the operation space or obtain small-volume ore. The mechanical breaking method uses large machinery to break the rock, which is effective when the rock strength is not high. However, the existing rock breaking scheme has certain deficiencies. The explosive breaking method needs to use explosives, but the explosives are strictly controlled, have high safety risks, and pollute the environment. When hard rock mass is encountered, the mechanical breaking method has very low efficiency and serious breaking tool loss. For the shape control of the drilling face after rock breaking, the explosive breaking method cannot accurately control the shape of the drilling face, and the mechanical breaking method has a complex process and difficult operation to form a square mining face.

[0004] CN112044569B discloses a combined multi-electrode high-voltage pulse discharge hard rock fragmentation device and breaking method, which breaks the rock by drilling holes in the rock and inserting electrodes for discharge. However, this rock breaking method has certain deficiencies. CN112044569B must drill holes in the rock before breaking the rock, which is a complicated process. CN112044569B does not use a liquid environment when breaking the rock, and the broken rock debris cannot be efficiently recovered by liquid flow, which cannot realize continuous mining to the deep part.

[0040] The first electrode 1 comprises a first fixed column 3, a first extension column 4 is arranged on the side surface of the first fixed column 3 every 90°, the end of the first extension column 4 is connected with a first telescopic column 5, and the first telescopic column 5 is telescopic along the direction of the first extension column 4; a mounting hole 11 is arranged on the front end surface of the first extension column 4, the mounting hole 11 is connected with the first telescopic column 5 through a mounting shaft 12, and a jack-in and jack-out connection mode is adopted. A fastening thread hole 19 is arranged on the extension column, and a screw rod extrusion type fixing mode is adopted for fixing. The discharge electrode adopts a fixed end-telescopic end structure, and the electrode spacing can be flexibly adjusted.

[0041] The second electrode 2 comprises a second fixed column 6, the side of which is connected with two second extending columns 7 and a third extending column 8, the two second extending columns 7 are perpendicular to each other, the third extending column 8 is arranged along the bisector of the included angle of the two second extending columns 7, the end of the second electrode 2 extending column is connected with a second telescopic column 9 which is telescopic along the direction of the second electrode 2 extending column, the end of the third electrode extending column is connected with a third telescopic column 10 which is telescopic along the direction of the third electrode extending column, the third extending column 8 points to the included angle of the two first extending columns 4. The front end surface of the second extending column 7 is provided with a mounting hole 11, the mounting hole 11 is connected with the second telescopic column 9 through a mounting shaft 12. The rock breaking energy of the present application can be adjusted, the breaking form can be adjusted, the energy release of the present application can be adjusted through the voltage output of the pulse device, different breaking effects such as cracks, fragments and powders are caused.

[0042] When the first electrode 1 is a positive electrode, the second electrode 2 is a negative electrode; when the first electrode 1 is a negative electrode, the second electrode 2 is a positive electrode.

[0043] The shape of the front end of the first telescopic column 5, the second telescopic column 9 and the third telescopic column 10 is one of a straight line type, a T type or an arc shape. The material is a conductor such as red copper, brass, stainless steel, tungsten copper alloy and the like, and the conductor is preferably firm and wear-resistant.

[0044] The first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 are connected with a square capacitor 13 and are designed in an integrated manner, when the first electrode 1 is a positive electrode, the surface of the first electrode 1 is a frosted or granular sharp end; when the second electrode 2 is a positive electrode, the surface of the second electrode 2 is a frosted or granular sharp end. In order to improve the local electric field strength of the electrode and reduce the difficulty of breakdown.

[0045] As shown in Figures 4-5 A rock square operation area mining method based on high-voltage pulse discharge, a rock square operation area mining device based on high-voltage pulse discharge is realized, comprising the following steps:

[0046] The telescopic column is installed on the extending column, and the length of the telescopic column is adjusted to the desired electrode length;

[0047] The square capacitor 13 is powered to the first electrode, at this time the first electrode 1 is a positive electrode and the second electrode 2 is a negative electrode;

[0048] The rock square operation area mining device is arranged above the rock mass to be broken, the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 are in contact with the surface of the rock mass to be broken, and a flowing insulating liquid 15 is arranged around the rock square operation area mining device;

[0049] The square capacitor 13 is charged to the first electrode 1, and the potential difference between the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 gradually increases to the breakdown voltage;

[0050] Since the electrodes are immersed in the insulating liquid 15, the insulating liquid 15 is more difficult to break down than the rock. In the rock between the multiple positive and negative electrode pairs, the ion channel is formed between the two positive and negative electrodes that are most likely to break down, and the plasma channel is formed in the rock to be broken 14, which expands to work to make the rock to be broken 14 break into rock fragments 16, which are discharged with the flowing insulating liquid 15, and the rock fragments 16 are stripped to form a void 17, and the previous discharge electrode is suspended in the insulating liquid 15 in the void 17 without contacting the rock. At this time, the primary discharge is complete.

[0051] Secondary discharge, new plasma channels are formed in the rock to be broken 14, and the above steps are repeated until the rock surface contacted by the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 is broken, and the rock square working area mining device is lowered;

[0052] The first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 contact the surface of the new rock to be broken 14, and the above steps are repeated until all the rock to be broken 14 is broken and the mining is completed.

[0053] Due to the expansion of the plasma channel and the propagation of the shock wave formed by it in the insulating liquid 15, the rock outside the rectangular frame formed by the electrode corners will also be damaged to a certain extent, so when the capacitor electrode moves downward along the working surface, the insulating liquid 15 will also continue to move downward. In addition, the insulating liquid 15 and the rock fragments 16 can be brought to the ground surface by continuously extracting the insulating liquid 15, and after liquid-solid separation, the insulating liquid 15 can be continuously injected into the electrode working position for recycling. The insulating liquid flow direction 18 is shown in Figure 4 and 5 .

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
