[0002] The steeply inclined thin ore body refers to the ore body with the inclination greater than 55° and the thickness less than 5m, which is commonly found in lead-zinc, gold, tungsten and other deposits, and the upward horizontal slicing and filling mining method is commonly used for mining such ore body. When the upward horizontal slicing and filling mining method is used for mining, the mining stope is generally arranged along the ore body strike, and the length of the mining stope is about 40.0-60.0m, especially when some independent ore body is mined, only one mining stope is arranged; the mining process is two mining and one filling, and the empty roof height is generally 6.0-8.0m. If the above mining method is used under the condition of broken surrounding rock, large area cross roof fall often occurs due to the large exposed area of the stope side, and even the roof cracking occurs, which causes great safety hazard. SUMMARY

[0006] S1, engineering geological condition investigation is conducted on the ore body and its surrounding rock to determine the stope structure parameters;

[0007] S2, the ore body is divided into ore rooms and ore pillars along the strike according to the length of the stope, and the ore body is continuously mined in two steps;

[0008] S3, mining preparation cutting engineering is constructed in the stope;

[0009] S4, a ramp is arranged at a certain distance from the ore body at the middle position of the ore body, a connecting roadway is constructed from the ramp to the other side of the ore body, and then the mining drifts are constructed on both sides of the connecting roadway close to the side with better surrounding rock stability, and the mining and filling are conducted in steps;

[0010] S5, after the first layer is mined, the filling is conducted, and after the filling is completed and the designed strength is reached, the second layer is mined, and the cycle is repeated until the stope mining is completed.

[0011] Optionally, in step S1, the rock mass quality classification and stability evaluation are required for the ore body, and then the stope structure parameters are further determined according to the Mathews graphical method and numerical simulation software.

[0012] Optionally, the length of the one-step stope and the two-step stope is consistent in the step S2, the stope width is the thickness of the ore body, and the stope layer height is 3.0-4.0 m.

[0013] Optionally, the mining preparation cutting engineering in the step S3 comprises an ore chute, a waste rock chute, and a filling air return shaft.

[0014] Optionally, in the step S4, the ramp is a spiral ramp, and a layer platform is formed every interval of a layer height, and a connecting roadway is constructed from each layer platform of the ramp to the other side of the ore body; and each layer platform is connected to different layers.

[0015] Optionally, in the step S4, if the thickness of the ore body is less than two widths of the drift, the remaining ore body is mined by the form of expansion after one drift is constructed.

[0016] Optionally, in the step S4, if the thickness of the ore body is more than two widths of the drift, the remaining ore body is mined by the vertical drift after one drift is constructed, and a permanent point column is left to support the stope.

[0017] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] 1. The present application reduces the distance between the ramp and the stope by the setting of the spiral ramp and the layer platform, greatly reduces the engineering quantity of the connecting roadway, and reduces the slope of the connecting roadway by each layer platform being responsible for one layer, thereby facilitating the ore transportation and equipment operation.

[0019] 2. The ore body is first analyzed professionally, and then the stope length is divided, one drift is first mined, then one drift is mined vertically, and then the drift is made into a concrete permanent point column to control the exposed area of the stope roof and side wall, thereby avoiding the broken surrounding rock from appearing cross-roofing or even the cracking of the ore body roof, and ensuring the safety of personnel operation.

[0033] Step S3, the preparation cutting engineering is constructed in the stope, including the ore chute 2, the waste chute 3 and the filling air return shaft.

[0034] ​​Step S4, first, the spiral ramp 1 is arranged at 6.0m from the ore body on the side with better stability of the surrounding rock in the middle of the ore body, the ramp 1 makes a layered platform (3m, 6m, 9m ore body, etc.) every 3.0m, the contact lane 4 is constructed from the layered platforms of the ramp 1 to the other side of the ore body, and then the 2.6x3.0m recovery access is constructed on both sides near the side with better stability of the surrounding rock; in the embodiment of the application, the thickness of the ore body is less than the width of two accesses, so after the construction of one access, the remaining ore body is recovered by expanding the brush.

[0035] Step S5, the recovery is carried out in the form of mining and filling, that is, after the recovery of the first layer, the filling is carried out, the filling retaining wall 5 is arranged in the contact lane 4 during the filling process, after the filling is completed and reaches the design strength, the recovery of the second layer is carried out, and the cycle is continued until the end of the recovery of the mining field.

[0036] Embodiment 2;

[0037] Reference Figures 4-6 The embodiment is different from the embodiment 1 in that the thickness of the ore body is greater than the width of two accesses, in step S4, after the construction of one access, the recovery is carried out vertically, first, one vertical access is recovered every 10m, second, the recovered vertical access is filled with high-strength concrete to make a permanent point column, then the other vertical accesses are recovered, and finally, after the layered recovery is completed, the filling is carried out according to the design requirements.
