[0065] The beneficial technical effects of the technical scheme of the present application are as follows:

[0066] (1) The passage well in the present application provides a passage for transporting the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device to the mining location. When the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device performs the mining operation, the three-dimensional expansion section for moving the mining assembly / rock splitting assembly in a direction deviating from the axis of the passage well is also included. By moving the mining assembly / rock splitting assembly in at least two degrees of freedom, the mining range can be expanded, allowing the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device to perform mining, rock breaking in the form of a chamber group along a three-dimensional well pattern, and then using the shaft well ore conveying device to convey the mined rock to the ground. The rolling mining method can safely and efficiently realize chamber mining and filling operations. At the same time, the back pressure device supplements high-pressure support liquid into the passage well during the mining process, temporarily supporting the chamber with the support liquid until the filling is completed, which can effectively alleviate problems such as rock burst, outburst, roof falling, collapse, water inrush, and the like, and promote the smooth progress of mining work, which can be applied to mining deep mineral resources and mineral resources in the strata below the ocean.

[0067] There is a lack of related technology in the prior art that can first go down to the sea and then enter the ground to realize solid mineral mining. When the well chamber expansion mining system of the present application is applied in the mining method of first going down to the sea and then entering the ground, solid mineral resources can also be safely and efficiently mined in the overlying strata below the ocean. The well chamber method deep mining technology is an effective means for realizing deep and ocean mineral development proposed by the author, which has the advantages of less surface damage, large mining depth, water environment operation, and good economic efficiency, and has excellent application prospects in the development of mineral resources in deep strata and overlying strata below the ocean.

[0069] (3) When the device body includes two crawling sections and each crawling section is provided with a fixing device, the two crawling sections are connected by a telescopic structure, the two fixing devices alternately extend and lock the corresponding crawling sections, and the telescopic structure is elongated when one of the crawling sections is locked and is shortened when the other crawling section is locked, so that the device body can be moved forward as a whole.

[0070] (Four) The application can be applied to the mineral development in the stratum below the sea, and can rely on the marine platform technology, the submarine pipeline technology and other marine engineering technologies to develop minerals, without occupying a large area of sea area. The well rail expansion mining machine and the ore granulation conveying system enter the stratum through the riser and the wellbore to implement the mining operation, without damaging the seabed and directly affecting the marine environment and the seabed ecology, and have good implementability. The supporting liquid supplemented by the back pressure system in the mining process has a supporting function, and the rolling mining in the form of the chamber group can well guarantee the stability of the stratum, and has good feasibility.

[0104] The following will be combined with the Figures 1 to 20 The technical solutions of a shaft expansion mining system and a mining method of the present invention are described in detail with specific embodiments.

[0105] Example 1

[0106] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a shaft expansion mining system of this embodiment includes a channel shaft 1 connected to a mining location, a three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device 2 for performing mining operations based on the channel shaft 1, a measurement and control device for realizing at least one function including measuring operation status parameters and controlling the operation of the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device, a power cable 4 for supplying energy to the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device 2, a shaft ore conveying device 3 for conveying ore, a travel module for driving the device body 21 to move along the channel shaft 1, and a support fluid filled in the channel shaft 1. The three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device 2 includes a device body 21 and a three-dimensional expansion section 22 for extending the mining range. The three-dimensional expansion section 22 One end is connected to the equipment body 21, and the other end is connected to the mining assembly 23 or the rock splitting assembly 24. The three-dimensional expansion section 22 has a deflection mechanism deflection module and / or a rotation mechanism rotation module. The deflection mechanism deflection module drives the mining assembly 23 or the rock splitting assembly 24 to move in a direction deviating from the axis of the channel well 1. The rotation module of the rotation mechanism drives the mining assembly 23 or the rock splitting assembly 24 to move around the well axis of the channel well 1 or the axis of the equipment body 21 to drive the mining assembly 23 or the rock splitting assembly 24 to expand the mining range. The deflection mechanism deflection module and the rotation module of the rotation mechanism include an electric actuator, a hydraulic actuator or a pneumatic actuator for controllably performing the deflection action.

[0107] The channel well 1 in the scheme provides a channel for conveying the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device 2 to the mining location, the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device 2 includes a three-dimensional expansion section 22 for moving the mining assembly 23 / rock breaking assembly 24 in a direction deviating from the axis of the channel well 1, expanding the mining range, so as to mine to form a chamber, and the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device 2 can also move in the channel well 1, so that the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining device 2 can realize mining, rock breaking in the form of a chamber group along a three-dimensional well pattern, and then the mined rock is conveyed to the ground by means of the shaft ore conveying device 3. The rolling mining method can safely and efficiently realize chamber mining and filling operation. In the mining process, high-pressure supporting liquid is supplemented and injected into the channel well 1, which can temporarily support the chamber by using the supporting liquid until the chamber is refilled after the mining is completed. The supporting liquid in the chamber can effectively alleviate the problems of rock burst, outburst, roof falling, collapse, water inrush and the like of the stratum, promote the smooth progress of the mining work, and can be applied to the mining of deep mineral resources and mineral resources under the sea. If the stratum leaks during the mining process, the supporting liquid needs to be supplemented from the wellhead to the well, so that the supporting liquid in the channel well 1 maintains a predetermined liquid column height, and in addition, a back pressure pump 323 can be used to supplement the lost supporting liquid in real time. The role of the supporting liquid is to provide support for the chamber in the mining process through the liquid column pressure, so that the chamber can be prevented from collapsing. In addition, the supporting liquid is also used to carry the ore, and is used to carry the ore out of the wellhead.

[0108] The three-dimensional expansion section 22 in the embodiment is configured to include at least two controllable sections 221 connected in sequence, and the adjacent controllable sections 221 are fixedly connected. The controllable section 221 includes a front part and a rear part relatively rotating. For the adjacent two controllable sections 221, the rear part of the former section is fixedly connected with the front part of the latter section. The controllable section 221 is also provided with an opening and closing control assembly and a joint control assembly 2211 for driving the two parts to rotate under control. The rotation axes between the two parts of different controllable sections 221 are not parallel. When the front part and the rear part of each controllable section 221 relatively rotate, the three-dimensional expansion section 22 formed by the controllable section 221 as a whole can drive the mining assembly 23 / rock breaking assembly 24 to move in two degrees of freedom. The opening and closing control assembly and the joint control assembly 2211 in the embodiment are used as a biasing module, and can be specifically selected from different actuators such as electric motors and pneumatic pistons.

[0109] In addition, for the three-dimensional expansion section 22 comprising a plurality of controllable segments 221 connected in sequence, the three-dimensional expansion section 22 can also be operated in another way. For example, in another embodiment of the present embodiment, the adjacent controllable segments 221 of the three-dimensional expansion section 22 are hingedly connected to each other, and the adjacent controllable segments 221 are hingedly or rotatably connected through the hinge structure 2232. The rear end of the three-dimensional expansion section 22 is also provided with an expansion control mechanism, which comprises three separately operated drives 223, each of which is connected with a pulling transmission structure 2231, which can be selected from a rope, a chain or a belt. The side surface of each controllable segment 221 is also welded with three ring structures for the pulling transmission structure 2231 to pass through, and the side surfaces of all controllable segments 221 have three rows of ring structures, which are uniformly arranged around the axis of the three-dimensional expansion section 22. Each pulling transmission structure 2231 passes through a row of ring structures in sequence and is connected with the controllable segment 221 at the front end of the three-dimensional expansion section 22. The three drives 223 can provide motion control in at least two directions, and by winding and unwinding the pulling transmission structure 2231, the three-dimensional expansion section 22 formed by a plurality of controllable segments 221 can be driven to swing in different directions to realize three-dimensional motion. The adjacent two controllable segments 221 are also provided with a reset mechanism 2233, which is used to provide a force to restore the coaxial state between the controllable segments 221, and to provide bending elasticity for the three-dimensional expansion section 22 formed by the plurality of controllable segments 221, so as to ensure the stability of the arm shape of the three-dimensional expansion section 22 when the drive 223 controls the three-dimensional expansion section 22 through the pulling transmission structure 2231.

[0110] The drive 223 in the present embodiment can wind and unwind the rope in a wound state, for example, the drive 223 is selected from an electric motor in an electric drive actuator, and the above-mentioned rope is wound on the output shaft of the electric motor or a rotating drum in transmission connection with the output shaft of the electric motor. The rope is used as the pulling transmission structure 2231, and at least three ropes are used to wind and unwind from different directions around the three-dimensional expansion section 22 to drive the three-dimensional expansion section 22 formed by a plurality of controllable segments 221 to swing in different directions. The reset mechanism 2233 in the present embodiment is an elastic member, which is used to provide a force to restore the coaxial state between the controllable segments 221, and can maintain the shape of the three-dimensional expansion section 22 when the rope pulls the three-dimensional expansion section 22 to deviate. The elastic member can be selected from an elastic tube, an elastic rod or a leaf spring.

[0111] In addition, the number of pulling transmission structures 2231 can also be increased, for example, two independent drives 223 are used to control two pairs of pulling transmission structures 2231, that is, four pulling transmission structures 2231. Taking the rope as the pulling transmission structure 2231 as an example, each pair of pulling transmission structures 2231 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the axis of the three-dimensional expansion section 22, and the drive 223 retracts the rope on one side to release the rope on the other side. The control scheme of multiple pairs of ropes is similar.

[0112] It should be understood that the driver 223 described in the embodiment is a minimum structural unit capable of completely implementing the winding and unwinding of a pulling force transmission structure 2231, and in other embodiments, it can also represent a structural module capable of simultaneously winding and unwinding multiple pulling force transmission structures 2231.

[0113] In addition, the mine expansion mining system also includes a traveling module for moving the equipment body 21 in the access shaft 1, which can be a component of the equipment body 21 or an independent module detachably connected to the equipment body 21.

[0114] It should be understood that if the access shaft 1 is not directly aligned and communicated to the mining location, an inclined structure 113 can be installed in the access shaft 1 to guide the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 to break through the shaft wall of the access shaft 1 and drill towards the mining location.

[0115] Further, the access shaft 1 is also provided with a pipe column 11 through which the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 passes, the pipe column 11 is provided with a smooth traveling channel 111, the side of the pipe column 11 is provided with a window communicating with the traveling channel 111, and the inclined structure 113 is arranged in the pipe column 11 to guide the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 to pass out of the window. It should be understood that the drawing is a schematic view, the actual shaft length is several kilometers, and the curvature of the curved part of the shaft is very small. The pipe column 11 can smoothly pass through the curved position of the shaft during the process of being lowered into the access shaft 1. The diameter of the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment is also smaller than that of the pipe column 11, that is, the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 itself can pass through the access shaft 1 and can also move smoothly in the pipe column 11. The equipment body 21 of the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 is of a multi-section structure, and each section can be deflected relative to each other, so that the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 can smoothly pass through the curved position of the shaft. During operation, the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 can be slowly lowered into the shaft by using a cable, and gradually sink to the bottom of the shaft by relying on its own gravity. After entering the inclined shaft section or the horizontal section, when it cannot continue to advance by relying on its own gravity, it can rely on the traveling module to move autonomously.

[0116] Further, when the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 is in the access shaft 1, it can be stably stopped in the access shaft 1 by relying on its own gravity, so as to ensure that the mining assembly 23 and the rock breaking assembly 24 do not deviate during operation. However, in order to improve the stability of the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2, the mine expansion mining system also includes a fixing device for preventing the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 from tilting or rolling, and the fixing device is configured to:

[0117] The fixing device comprises a fixing assembly moving radially along the passage well 1 and a reciprocating driving assembly driving the fixing assembly to move reciprocally, and is arranged on the device body 21 of the three-dimensionally controllable expansion mining device 2 or on the fixed object in the passage well 1, and when the fixing device is stretched and abuts between the device body 21 and the fixed object, the position of the three-dimensionally controllable expansion mining device 2 is locked by the fixing device. It should be understood that the fixing device can also be arranged on the device body 21 of the three-dimensionally controllable expansion mining device 2 and the fixed object in the passage well 1 at the same time.

[0118] In the embodiment, the fixing assembly is a plurality of claws 2112 movably connected to the side of the device body 21, and the reciprocating driving assembly is a telescopic control module 2111 driving the claws 2112 to move close to or away from the device body 21. The claws 2112 are telescopic along the radial direction or the oblique direction, and are clamped on the inner wall of the well wall of the passage well 1 or the pipe column 11, so as to fix the three-dimensionally controllable expansion mining device 2 in the passage well 1. The extension stroke of the claws 2112 towards the well wall of the passage well 1 should be greater than the gap between the claws 2112 and the well wall of the passage well 1, so as to ensure that the claws 2112 can be fixed by means of pressing or clamping. In the present application, the claws 2112 are fixed by means of friction or locked by means of the structure matched with the well wall. In the embodiment, the pipe column 11 is taken as the fixed object in the passage well 1, and the three-dimensionally controllable expansion mining device 2 is located in the pipe column 11, so that the claws 2112 can be used to press against the inner wall of the pipe column 11.

[0119] In addition, the fixing assembly can also be a support leg connected to the device body 21, the support leg is in sliding fit or rotary fit with the device body 21, and the reciprocating driving assembly is a push-pull control module hinged between the support leg and the device body 21, the push-pull control module pushes the support leg to move, and abuts against the well wall of the passage well 1 or the inner wall of the pipe column 11 to realize locking.

[0120] It should be understood that the claws 2112, the support leg and the like can also be installed on the well wall of the passage well 1 or the fixed object in the passage well 1, and when the device body 21 passes through, the three-dimensionally controllable expansion mining device 2 can also be locked.

[0121] Further, the device body 21 in the embodiment comprises at least two crawling sections 211 arranged along the axis direction of the passage well 1, each of the crawling sections 211 is provided with a fixing device, and the two crawling sections 211 are connected through a telescopic structure 212 controlled to be telescopic along the axis direction of the passage well 1, the two parts relatively moving of the telescopic structure 212 are connected with the two crawling sections 211 respectively, and the telescopic structure 212 and the two crawling sections 211 with the fixing devices are combined to form a crawling module driving the three-dimensionally controllable expansion mining device 2 to move along the travel passage 111.

[0122] Further, the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2 has a rear end away from the mining position, and a traction cable 213 or a traction rod is connected to the rear end of the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2.

When the crushing structure 231 excavates / mines the ore in a rotary form, for example, the heading head or the reamer is used as the crushing structure 231, the rotary axis of the crushing structure 231 is perpendicular to the axis of the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment 2, so as to avoid the reverse torque generated in the process of the heading head or the reamer crushing the ore from being transmitted along the axis of the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining machine.
