Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas emission prediction and gas extraction technology, and specifically provides a device and method for accurately measuring the equivalent width of gas pre-drainage in roadways. Background Technology
[0002] The equivalent width of pre-drainage gas in a roadway is the depth at which gas no longer enters the roadway vertically from the coal face at a certain point in time after the roadway has been excavated. It is an important basic data on coal seam gas and is widely used in the prediction of gas emission from coal mine working faces, the evaluation of coal quantity and residual gas content in the assessment of gas drainage compliance, and the calculation of residual gas content in the area of pre-drainage and recovery mining face of outburst-prone coal seams. The national standards and specifications adopted by my country's coal mines, such as the "Method for Predicting Mine Gas Outburst" (AQ1018-2006), the "Method for Predicting Mine Gas Outburst in Fully Mechanized Top Coal Caving Faces" (NB / T10364-2019), the "Method for Verifying the Effectiveness of Gas Prevention Measures in Pre-drainage Mining Faces" (MT / T1037-2019), and the "Interim Provisions on Coal Mine Gas Drainage Compliance," all require the use of the equivalent width of pre-drainage gas in roadways. Moreover, the equivalent width of pre-drainage gas in roadways is determined primarily based on actual mine measurement data. The accurate equivalent width of pre-drainage gas in roadways plays a crucial role in coal mine gas prevention and control. It is an industry consensus that the equivalent width of pre-drainage gas in roadways is directly related to factors such as coal seam gas pressure, ground stress, gas content, burial depth, coal permeability, and drainage time. However, at present, the value of the equivalent width of pre-drainage gas in roadways is mainly given by empirical values or empirical formulas based on similar coal quality. This results in a large discrepancy between the calculated results and the actual situation when predicting gas emission, coal seam gas extraction, and verifying the effectiveness of anti-outburst measures, which directly affects coal mine safety and social stability.

[0103] This invention enables the determination of the equivalent width of pre-drainage gas in roadways under actual field conditions such as original coal seam gas pressure, gas content, ground stress, burial depth, and coal permeability. It utilizes the method of drilling along the seam in the intake and return airways during the working face mining process and measuring the borehole gas emission velocity q. Taking advantage of the clear functional relationship between q and the coal face exposure time—that is, the borehole gas emission velocity q approaches its extreme value—the original coal body state—as the borehole depth increases, the equivalent width of pre-drainage gas in roadways with different exposure times can be accurately measured. Simultaneous measurement in two roadways effectively reduces testing time, and the results are accurate and reliable, providing guidance for on-site gas disaster management in coal mines. It offers advantages such as better conformity to the physical definition of the equivalent width of pre-drainage gas in roadways, controllable and adjustable testing locations, short testing time, high accuracy, and simple operation.

For those skilled in the art, many changes can be made in the specific implementation and application scope based on the concept of the present invention. As long as these changes do not depart from the concept of the present invention, they all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
