Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a mine safety technology, and more particularly to a geological disaster simulation technology, specifically a method and apparatus for simulating impact dynamic disasters induced by thick and multi-layered water-bearing overburden. Background Technology

[0002] The lithology of the thick sandstone and aquifer layers is mostly coarse-grained and medium-grained sandstone, with thicknesses exceeding 200 mm. These thick aquifer sandstone layers are often sub-critical and primary critical layers in the high-level roof, significantly influencing mining-induced overburden movement and the surrounding rock stress environment. The confined water within the aquifer sandstone layers interacts with rockburst hazards. Under conditions of thick sandstone roofs, strong mine earthquakes and rockbursts occur frequently during mining operations, severely impacting mine safety. The fracturing of thick aquifer sandstone layers releases a large amount of energy, and under the combined effects of its own weight, water pressure, or additional loads from overlying rock layers, further destabilizes the underlying rock structure. Currently, the mechanisms by which thick sandstone and aquifer roofs induce hazards are unclear. The related gestation and development mechanisms following frequent strong mine earthquakes and rockbursts in mining areas remain undefined, and targeted monitoring, early warning, and control capabilities are weak, becoming a major challenge hindering safe coal mine production.

[0003] Currently, laboratory-based similarity simulation experiments are an important means of studying the mechanism of fault-activated shock dynamic disasters induced by thick and multi-layered water-bearing overburden, as well as related monitoring, early warning, and prevention technologies. At present, laboratories lack experimental equipment and methods for studying shock dynamic disasters induced by thick and multi-layered water-bearing overburden. This is because coal seam thickness is generally 3–10 m; to facilitate excavation and sensor placement within the roadway, the size similarity ratio is generally 20–30; the model layer thickness for a single 200 m thick sandstone layer reaches 7–10 m; if the thickness of the rock strata below the thick water-bearing sandstone plus the coal seam is 200 m, the model thickness for this part also reaches 7–10 m; the entire model frame size exceeds 14–20 m. Figure 1 As shown, not only are the vertical model frames enormous, but to simulate the fracture of rock strata, when the thickness of the massive sandstone model layer is 7–10 m, the model length must be at least 21–30 m to accurately simulate the fracture of the roof. Therefore, similar simulations of high-lying, massive overburden are difficult to conduct in the laboratory, and even if successfully developed, the experiments are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, different rock strata have different water-bearing characteristics. How to simulate the enormous energy released instantaneously during the fracture of massive water-bearing sandstone, and how to realistically simulate the stress accumulation and impact patterns in mining environments with different multi-layered water-bearing overburdens, are urgent problems that need to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing methods for simulating the mechanism of damage caused by massive and thick rock strata are difficult to establish at a simulated scale, resulting in a lack of experimental data and difficulty in providing effective guidance for safety control in such mines. The invention provides a method and apparatus for simulating impact dynamic disasters induced by massive and multi-layered water-bearing overburden to meet safety control needs.

[0005] One of the technical solutions of this invention is:

[0006] A simulation experiment method for shock dynamic disasters induced by thick and multi-layered water-bearing overburden is characterized by the following steps: 1) Constructing multiple water-bearing overburden models based on actual underground geological conditions and similarity theory, so as to change the initial conditions of the water-bearing overburden models to conduct different experiments; installing pressure cells, strain sensors, and acoustic emission sensors inside the models; the top of the models is a thick water-bearing sandstone 51, the thickness of which is no more than 10% of the thickness of the thick water-bearing sandstone to be simulated;

[0007] 2) The horizontal loading module drives the array of horizontal pressure plates 24 to apply a horizontal load to the model; the vertical elastic loading module applies a vertical load to the top of the model; during the application of the vertical load, the array springs 34 compress and store elastic energy.

[0008] 3) Water is supplied to different rock layers inside the model through array water pipes 62 of varying lengths in the array tube water filling module. Each water pipe controls the water filling speed and water pressure of each rock layer through a separate flow valve 65 and pressure valve 64.

[0009] 4) Mining and roadway excavation are carried out on the simulated working face in simulated coal seam 53;

[0010] 5) A transient impact is applied to the thick water-bearing sandstone 51 at the top of the model through the transient impact triggering module; at the moment the thick water-bearing sandstone breaks, the array spring 34 releases its stored energy instantly, driving the thick water-bearing sandstone to break and apply strong disturbance to the bottom of the model; the pressure box, strain sensor and acoustic emission sensor installed in the model record the corresponding parameters and send them to the data processing module for analysis and processing.

[0011] 6) Change the spring size and stiffness to alter the vertical load, simulating the different energies released instantaneously upon the fracture of massive water-bearing sandstone of varying thickness and strength. Repeat steps 1) to 5) to simulate the induced stress accumulation and impact patterns in the stope when massive rock strata release different energies. Spring parameter values ​​are taken from the following formula:

[0012]

[0015] CE U represents the energy similarity ratio; U is the energy released by the spring replacing the rock layer; J is the moment of inertia of the roof section. b is the width of the rock stratum, h is the thickness of the rock stratum replaced by the spring; q is the unit length equivalent load of the weight of the roof and the additional load of the overlying rock stratum; l is the cantilever length of the roof; E is the elastic modulus; k is the spring stiffness; x is the spring deformation; n is the number of springs.

[0016] 7) Change the water pressure of different thick water-bearing sandstones and each rock layer, and repeat steps 1) to 6) to simulate the stress accumulation and impact law of different initial water pressures in the mining area.

[0017] The second technical solution of the present invention is:

Each water guide pipe is connected to a separate flow valve 65 and pressure valve 64.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] This invention solves the problem of simulating the safety of geological conditions in massive water-bearing sandstone and coal seams with a thickness of over 200 meters and ordinary water-bearing rock strata with a thickness of over 200 meters by using a vertical elastic loading module. On the one hand, it greatly reduces the simulation height of water-bearing sandstone and coal seams and ordinary water-bearing rock strata, enabling laboratory preparation. By loading spring force to simulate the pressure load of actual rock strata, the experiment is closer to the actual failure situation of rock strata. On the other hand, for the first time, water injection is used in related models to simulate the impact of actual water-bearing strata on rockburst, making the simulation test environment closer to the natural environment, greatly improving the accuracy of the experiment, providing first-hand data for simulated strata mining, and contributing to mine safety.
