Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geological disaster prevention and resource extraction technology in underground mine engineering, specifically relating to an indoor ore and rock filtration and diversion system and construction method for a main ore pass unloading chamber. Background Technology
[0002] Ore passes play a crucial role in simplifying mine hoisting and transportation systems, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs. They are widely used in underground metal mining and are key engineering projects for achieving efficient and low-cost downward transportation of ore (and waste rock) in multi-stage transportation processes. The efficiency of ore pass discharge directly affects mine production capacity. Based on various phenomena observed during operation, ore pass discharge mainly faces two major problems: first, ore pass blockage caused by interruption of material flow during discharge; and second, deformation and damage to the ore pass walls under various forces, seriously affecting mine production safety.
[0003] Setting up a buffer layer at the junction of the inclined chute and the main chute is a common safety measure in mines to prevent direct impact of ore on the shaft wall. Chinese invention patent application number 202110795810.0 discloses a facility for buffering ore impact on the main chute wall, including a branch chute, a buffer steel curtain, and a ore-binding funnel. A branch chute is set up on one side of the main chute, a buffer steel curtain is set at the junction of the branch chute and the main chute, and an ore-binding funnel is set at the lower part of the junction of the branch chute and the main chute, directly opposite the opening of the main chute. The well includes a grid, inclined well walls, vertical well walls, an inclined section top plate, an inclined section bottom plate, and buffer steps. The grid is located at the upper end of the branch ore pass. A vertical well wall is installed below the grid on the side away from the main ore pass, while an inclined well wall is used on the side closer to the main ore pass. The lower part of the vertical well wall connects to the inclined section bottom plate, and the lower part of the inclined well wall connects to the inclined section top plate. The inclined section section, composed of the inclined section top plate and the inclined section bottom plate, connects to the main ore pass, with the connection point being the inclined section penetration opening. A buffer step is constructed on the inclined section bottom plate, and a buffer steel curtain is used to cover the inclined section penetration opening. This scheme increases the height of the vertical section of the branch ore pass and adjusts the well wall angle, making the ore drop point more concentrated and easier to control. Combined with the buffer step, buffer steel curtain, and ore-binding funnel, it can ensure that the ore entering the main ore pass from the branch ore pass will not impact the main ore pass wall, avoiding impact damage to the well wall. However, this scheme has problems such as high construction difficulty and high project cost. Under the long-term impact of large blocks of ore, the buffer layer is prone to falling off, leading to ore pass blockage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to at least solve one of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a ore and rock filtration and diversion system and construction method in the unloading chamber of the main ore pass. Through the filtration effect of devices such as grids, the system prevents large blocks of ore and rock from forming large blocks of ore and rock from entering the main ore pass and causing large blocks of ore to interlock and arch. The system fundamentally prevents the ore pass blockage problem caused by large blocks of ore and rock interlocking.

The diversion channel is used for hauling away ore and rock fragments after secondary crushing.
[0013] Preferably, the grid screen is installed at the upper opening of the diversion channel and is made of twisted square steel arranged in a cross pattern and welded together, with a hole spacing of 400-500mm, to ensure that the size of the ore blocks slid out of the diversion channel is no more than 400mm.
[0014] Preferably, the main chute is formed using a reverse drilling rig with a diameter of 2 to 4 meters, and the chute inclination angle is 60° to 80°.
[0015] Preferably, the safety railing is made of welded I-beams, with a height of 0.9 to 1.5 m and a net spacing of 300 to 400 mm between railings.

[0019] S3: Install a grating on the upper part of the inclined chute to prevent large pieces of ore from entering the ore pass through the inclined chute. Steel plates are welded to one side and the end of the grating to build a pedestrian passage, which facilitates the movement of workers and the cleaning of scattered ore pieces.
[0020] S4: A rock storage rack is formed by welding twisted square steel in a cross arrangement and placed on one side of the pedestrian passage to collect large pieces of rock filtered out by the grid.
[0021] S5: At the spatial boundary between the transport roadway and the ore storage rack, according to the geometric parameters of the transfer port, the existing mining excavation equipment is used to excavate the transfer port from top to bottom, with the excavation direction perpendicular to the ore storage rack.
[0022] S6: Weld steel to form a baffle on one side of the ore storage rack. One side of the baffle is directly connected to the transfer port to ensure that large pieces of ore can be concentrated and scattered on the ore storage rack.
[0023] S7: At one end of the transport roadway, according to the geometric parameters of the diversion roadway, the existing mining equipment is used to excavate the diversion roadway from top to bottom. The bottom of the diversion roadway is a slope leading to the main chute.

[0030] 4. The ore filtration and diversion system filters out large pieces of ore through multiple filtration processes using grids and screens. The ore is then collected and crushed again through ore storage racks and transfer ports to complete the ore diversion. This system can effectively control the size of the ore blocks discharged into the main ore pass, preventing large pieces of ore from being directly discharged into the main ore pass and from colliding with the shaft wall, causing problems such as dents, wear, and wall collapse. This ensures safe and stable ore discharge from the main ore pass over a long period of time.
[0031] 5. The ore filtering and diversion system uses the filtering effect of devices such as grids to prevent large chunks of ore from jamming and forming arches after entering the main ore pass. This system fundamentally prevents ore pass blockage caused by large chunks of ore jamming, which is conducive to efficient and safe mine production. Attached Figure Description
