Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of coal mine safety, in particular to a nitrogen injection fire prevention and extinguishing method for a goaf during a working face retreat. BACKGROUND

[0002] A coal mine goaf is a cavity or hollow formed after coal is mined and removed during the coal mining process. The coal winning machine and hydraulic support gradually move during the working face retreat, and the goaf area gradually increases. Due to the lack of support, the rock strata around the goaf are prone to movement and deformation, eventually causing the goaf to collapse, and some air may enter the goaf, which may cause coal spontaneous combustion in the goaf.

[0003] In the prior art, the methods for preventing and extinguishing coal spontaneous combustion in a goaf mainly include grouting, nitrogen injection, and injection of fire prevention and extinguishing materials. Nitrogen injection can quickly extinguish the fire zone and inhibit the explosion of flammable gas in the goaf, improving the safety during the fire prevention and extinguishing process. Liquid nitrogen absorbs a large amount of heat when it vaporizes in the goaf, reducing the temperature of the goaf and preventing and controlling the spontaneous combustion of coal in the goaf. The traditional nitrogen injection method mainly involves pre-burying a pipeline from the air inlet roadway to the goaf and injecting nitrogen into the oxidation zone of the goaf. As the working face retreats, the pre-buried pipeline is cut off section by section.

[0004] In view of the above related technology, when the goaf collapses, the broken rock and coal in the oxidation zone scatter irregularly, which may be distributed parallel to the working face. Only by injecting nitrogen through the pre-buried pipeline from the air inlet roadway to the goaf can the nitrogen be dispersed slowly or cannot be dispersed to the entire oxidation zone, which results in poor fire prevention and extinguishing effect in the goaf. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to improve the fire prevention and extinguishing effect of nitrogen injection in the goaf during the working face retreat, the present application provides a nitrogen injection fire prevention and extinguishing method for a goaf during a working face retreat.

[0006] The present application provides a nitrogen injection fire prevention and extinguishing method for a goaf during a working face retreat, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The nitrogen injection fire prevention and extinguishing method for a goaf during a working face retreat comprises:

[0008] S1. A plurality of support plates are arranged at equal intervals along the width direction of the working face, and each support plate is located between two adjacent hydraulic supports and fixedly connected to the two hydraulic supports adjacent to the two sides of the support plate;

[0009] S2. After the working face retreats a certain distance, drill holes from the heat dissipation zone to the oxidation zone of the goaf, and the drilling distance meets the nitrogen injection requirements of the goaf;

[0010] S3; The support plate is detachably connected with three nitrogen injection pipes at equal intervals along the height direction. The nitrogen injection pipes are adapted to the corresponding drill holes. Insert the end of all nitrogen injection pipes away from the support plate into the corresponding drill hole, and then connect the other end of the nitrogen injection pipes to the support plate.

[0011] S4; All nitrogen injection pipes are connected to the nitrogen supply equipment, which injects liquid nitrogen or nitrogen gas into the oxidation zone through the nitrogen injection pipes;

[0012] S5; After nitrogen injection is completed, remove the nitrogen injection pipes in the middle and top of the support plate and pull them out of the borehole, while keeping the nitrogen injection pipe at the bottom connected to the support plate.

[0013] S6; After the nitrogen injection pipe is separated from the borehole, the borehole is backfilled.

[0014] Optionally, an adjusting plate is provided at the connection between the nitrogen injection pipe and the support plate. The adjusting plate is rotatably connected to the support plate. The adjusting plate has a through hole that matches the nitrogen injection pipe. Bolts for locking and positioning the nitrogen injection pipe are threaded on both sides of the adjusting plate.

[0015] Optionally, each of the nitrogen injection pipes is connected to a flow regulating valve.

[0016] Optionally, a bundled tube gas sampling device for monitoring the concentration of harmful gases is installed underground. The bundled tube of the bundled tube gas sampling device is pre-buried along the intake airway to the goaf area, and the bundled tube is a multi-section detachable structure.

[0017] Optionally, the dimensions of the support plate are adapted to the space between two adjacent hydraulic supports.

[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] 1. The technical solution of this application enables distributed and rapid nitrogen injection into the oxidation zone along the height and width directions of the goaf, ensuring the uniformity of nitrogen injection into the oxidation zone of the goaf, enabling nitrogen to disperse rapidly in the oxidation zone area, and improving the fire prevention and extinguishing effect of nitrogen injection into the goaf during the retreat of the working face.

[0020] 2. By setting up a bundled tube gas sampling device, it is easy to determine the concentration and content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and methane, and thus determine the amount of nitrogen to be injected, ensuring the effectiveness of nitrogen injection for fire prevention and extinguishing in the goaf.

[0021] 3. The adjusting plate and the support plate are rotatably connected, so that the nitrogen injection pipe can be tilted at a certain angle in the horizontal direction and connected to the adjusting plate, which ensures the use requirements of the nitrogen injection pipe under different working conditions and improves the versatility of this method.

When the working face 1 is withdrawn, the length of the bundle tube 101 located in the goaf 4 gradually increases, and then the new bundle tube 101 is gradually connected at the end close to the bundle tube gas sampling device 10, which guarantees the gas sampling of the oxidation zone 6 and the heat dissipation zone 5 of the goaf 4. The analysis of the gas by the bundle tube gas sampling and analysis device includes: carbon monoxide concentration content analysis, methane concentration content analysis, ethylene concentration content analysis, acetylene concentration content analysis, etc., among which the most important is to collect and analyze carbon monoxide and methane to determine their contents and then determine the nitrogen injection amount to guarantee the effect of nitrogen injection for fire prevention and extinguishment in the goaf 4;
