DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Figure 1 For the continuous segmented pipe laying process diagram, please refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for extracting geothermal energy by arranging pipelines for solid waste cemented functional filling bodies, comprising the following steps:

[0032] Step S1: First, define the continuous segmented filling space of the mined branch tunnel at the working face and lay the main filling pipe 1 along the branch tunnel floor. The main filling pipe 1 is laid continuously and segmented, made of stainless steel pipe, with segment lengths of 3 to 5 meters, inner diameters of 18 to 22 cm, and wall thicknesses of 1 to 1.5 cm.

[0033] Step S2: excavate slots 2 on the top plate of the branch tunnel and the bottom plate below it, and excavate another set of slots 2 along the length of the branch tunnel, and then install isolation retaining walls 3 on the slots 2 to construct the first section of filling space. Figure 2 As shown, the slots 2 are located in the top and bottom plates of the branch tunnel, four on each side, and are used to install and fix the isolation retaining wall 3. The depth of a single slot 2 is 1 / 10 of the height of the branch tunnel, the width is 1 / 10 of the width of the branch tunnel, and the thickness is 1 / 3 of the isolation retaining wall 3. Figure 3 The figure shows the side and front views of the isolation retaining wall 3. The isolation retaining wall 3 is an arched structure assembled from four prefabricated modules, with holes reserved in the center for installing the terminal filling pipe 5 and the geothermal extraction pipe 4. The module is 20-25 cm thick, 1 / 2 the width of the branch tunnel, 6 / 5 the full-scale height of the branch tunnel, and 1 / 10 the arch height of the branch tunnel. The thickness of the concave / convex mating part of the module is 1 / 2 the thickness of the module, the width is equal to the module width, and the depth is 1 / 10 the height of the branch tunnel. The dimensions of the module's external fixing block match the slot 2.

[0034] Step S3: Connect the terminal filling pipe 5 to the main filling pipe 1. The other end of the pipe passes through the isolation retaining wall 2 and extends into the first filling space. The geothermal extraction pipe 4 passes through the two isolation retaining walls 3, with both ends located outside the two isolation retaining walls 3. The terminal filling pipe 5 consists of a vertical section and a horizontal section. The horizontal section is connected in sections. One end of the horizontal section is fixed by a reserved through hole in the isolation retaining wall 3, and the other end is fixed by a spiral telescopic support rod 9. Figure 4 As shown, spiral telescopic struts 9 are fixed at both ends of the branch tunnel, securing the horizontal section of the terminal filling pipe 5 and preventing it from tilting. Both ends of the geothermal extraction pipe 4 are secured by reserved through-holes in the isolation retaining wall 3. Made of high-thermal-conductivity stainless steel pipe, it has an inner diameter of 20-25 cm, a wall thickness of 0.8-1 cm, and segment lengths of 3-5 m.

[0035] Step S4: Pour a solid waste-bonded functional filling paste 6 into the first filling space through the main filling pipe 1 and the terminal filling pipe 5. This solid waste-bonded functional filling paste 6 consists of paraffin-absorbed porous volcanic rock coarse aggregate, gangue coarse aggregate, gangue fine aggregate, fly ash, cement, and treated mine water. The specific mix parameters are: 80% slurry concentration, 50% gangue replacement ratio of volcanic rock coarse aggregate, 40% sand ratio, 2:1 aggregate-cement ratio, and 0.2% fly ash yield. The volcanic rock coarse aggregate and the gangue coarse aggregate have the same gradation: naturally graded and have a maximum particle size of 12 mm. The cement is ordinary Portland cement with a PO 42.5 rating, and the fly ash is secondary fly ash.

[0036] Step S5: Excavate the slot 2 in a backward manner to construct the next filling space, then install the geothermal extraction pipeline 4 and connect it to the geothermal extraction pipeline 4 in the first filling space. The excavation of the slot 2 in the second filling space, the layout of the isolation retaining wall 3, and the installation of the second geothermal extraction pipeline 4 are completed simultaneously with the pouring of the solid waste bonding functional filling paste 6 in the first filling space, thus greatly improving the efficiency of filling and pipeline installation.

[0037] Step S6: After the first section of the filling space is poured, the filling pump is turned off, part of the main filling pipe 1 is disassembled, and the terminal filling pipe 5 is moved so that its outlet is located in the next section of the filling space.

[0038] Step S7: Repeat steps S3 through S6 until the entire branch tunnel is completely filled with functional buried pipes. After completion, the branch tunnel is solid with the filling material and contains the geothermal extraction pipe 4. The connected geothermal extraction pipe 4 is the length of a single branch tunnel. Furthermore, the geothermal extraction pipe 4 is arranged in two layers, upper and lower, and can also be arranged in a multi-layer array as required.

[0039] Step S8, please refer to Figure 5 Repeat steps S1 through S6 until all parallel branch tunnels are filled with buried pipes. Then, in the return air chute and transport chute, connect the ends of each branch tunnel's geothermal extraction pipe 4 to the heat extraction branch pipe 7. Then, connect all heat extraction branch pipes 7 to the heat extraction main pipe 8, thus forming a buried pipe heat exchange system. Both the heat extraction branch pipes 7 and the heat extraction main pipe 8 are insulated stainless steel pipes. The heat extraction branch pipes 7 have an inner diameter of 30-35 cm and a wall thickness of 1-1.5 cm, while the heat extraction main pipe 8 has an inner diameter of 40-45 cm and a wall thickness of 2-3 cm.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 5 The present invention employs a continuous mining and filling method. A coalfield is mined from left to right, with each mining unit forming a branch lane. As mining continues to the right, multiple mined branch lanes remain. Local heat extraction pipes 4 are arranged along the length of each branch lane, with their ends connected by heat extraction branch pipes 7. The extraction branch pipes 7 in all branch lanes are then connected to the heat extraction main pipe 8, completing the installation of a heat extraction system. During heat extraction, water is filled into the geothermal extraction pipes 4, which circulates and absorbs heat from the underground rock, completing geothermal development.

[0041] The present invention has the following advantages: First, the goaf filling and the pipe extraction system are constructed simultaneously, and the construction is coordinated to improve construction efficiency; second, the goaf filling uses the gangue and mine water in the mine, and is completed underground, so the waste can be reused to prevent surface subsidence; third, during the segmented grouting, the subsequent slot excavation and the installation of the isolation retaining wall can be carried out at the same time, which can greatly improve work efficiency; fourth, the main filling pipe 1 and the end filling pipe 5 used in this method are both segmented structures, which is convenient for the implementation of segmented filling work, and the isolation retaining wall 3 is a spliced ​​structure, so as not to hinder the disassembly of the horizontal section of the end filling pipe 5, and to facilitate the simultaneous installation of the rear section isolation retaining wall 3.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes that can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the spirit of the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
