Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coal mining, and in particular to a system and method for coal pillar-free mining and lane formation across a collapsed pillar. Background Art

[0002] Underground longwall mining is the main method of coal mining in my country. More than 90% of coal mining in my country adopts underground mining. Collapse column is a common geological structure in the process of underground coal mining. The mining of collapse column not only involves the resource recovery of the ore body, but also directly affects the redistribution of mine pressure and the stability of underground engineering, causing personnel safety hazards, equipment loss, rock burst phenomenon, ground environmental damage, increased water risk, resource waste, increased mining difficulty and other mining problems.

[0003] When encountering a collapse column, it is generally arranged in the coal pillar between the working faces. When the collapse column is large, the size of the coal pillar must also be widened. The retention of the coal pillar leads to a sharp increase in the stress concentration of the surrounding rock stress field. Under the huge mine pressure, the stress distribution is uneven, which is not conducive to the stable maintenance and safe mining of the tunnel, and also causes a serious waste of coal pillar resources. For collapse columns that cannot be detected in advance during geological exploration or areas with a large number of collapse columns, the tunnel will inevitably pass through the collapse column. How to achieve efficient resource recovery in the collapse column area is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] The coal pillar-free mining technology is an effective means to improve resource recovery rate. Generally, the coal pillars between working faces are eliminated and the tunnels of the previous working face are retained for reuse by the adjacent working face. Since the collapsed column area is extremely unstable, the conventional system of first excavating the tunnel and then mining the working face has a long exposure time. The tunnel itself is unstable in the collapsed column area exposed during the tunnel excavation process. In the unstable area, filling and retaining the tunnel along the side of the tunnel or cutting the top into the tunnel without coal pillars is very likely to cause tunnel collapse, which brings safety hazards. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for coal pillar-free mining across subsidence pillars to solve the problems mentioned in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a coal pillar-free mining system across collapse pillars, including a seismic advance detection module, an intelligent drilling module, a roof reinforcement module and a portal-type top control and side support module. The seismic advance detection module is arranged at the working face position, the intelligent drilling module and the roof reinforcement module are both arranged at the end position of the lane, and the portal-type top control and side support module is arranged behind the roof reinforcement module.

[0007] Preferably, the mining seismic advance detection module includes a coal mining machine seismic source and a plurality of detectors, and the detectors are respectively installed on the hydraulic supports of the working face and are densely arranged at the end of the tunnel.

[0008] Preferably, the roof reinforcement module includes an anchoring device and a grouting device.

[0009] Preferably, the portal-type top-controlled side support module includes a top support device and a side support device.

[0010] Preferably, the top support device includes a top beam, a connecting beam, a vertical hydraulic cylinder and a base. The top beam and the connecting beam are both arranged in parallel in multiple numbers. The top beam is vertically connected to the connecting beam. There are multiple vertical hydraulic cylinders, which are respectively arranged on both sides below each top beam. The base is arranged below the vertical hydraulic cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the side support device includes a lateral hydraulic cylinder, a baffle and a connecting rod. The lateral hydraulic cylinder is provided in plurality, each of which is connected to the top beam on one side and to the baffle on the other side. The connecting rod is connected to the baffle on one side and to the base on the other side.

[0012] The present invention also provides a method for mining and forming a laneway without coal pillars across a collapsed pillar, the steps comprising:

[0013] S1. Use the mining seismic advance detection module to conduct mining seismic advance detection. The seismic source of the coal mining machine generates vibrations during the process of coal cutting and working face advancement, and the detector receives the signal to achieve geological detection of the leading area of ​​the working face, especially the leading area of ​​the tunnel, and make a preliminary judgment on the scope and nature of the collapse column;

[0014] S2. Use the intelligent drilling module to drill the area of ​​the advanced collapse column in the tunnel, and review the detection results of the seismic advance detection module during mining to achieve accurate detection of the impact range of the collapse column area and the properties of the rock mass;

[0015] S3. Within the influence range of the collapse column area, the intelligent drilling module is used to carry out grouting drilling and anchor cable drilling layout on the top plate. The grouting drilling includes deep grouting holes and shallow grouting holes. After the layout is completed, the top plate reinforcement module is used to carry out deep and shallow hole three-dimensional grouting and constant resistance anchoring on the top plate;

[0016] S4. Use the intelligent drilling module to arrange the top plate cutting drill holes. During the arrangement process, the top plate cutting drill holes are tracked and corrected in real time. During the drilling process, the top plate lithology is detected and fed back in real time, and the drilling depth of the top plate cutting drill holes is adjusted in real time according to the lithology.

[0017] S5. Directional liquid carbon dioxide phase change fracturing devices are respectively installed according to the depth of the top cutting drilling holes to directionally fracture the coal seam roof in the collapse column area, cut off the connection between the goaf roof and the roadway roof, and realize directional top cutting and pressure relief;

[0018] S6. Install a portal-type roof-control and side-protection support module in the tunneling area. After the top beam and the connecting beam are connected and fixed, raise the vertical hydraulic cylinder to support the tunnel roof, lower the lateral hydraulic cylinder, and use the baffle to support the side of the goaf gangue to achieve safe tunneling across the collapse column area.

[0019] Preferably, the use of the roof reinforcement module for constant resistance anchoring in S3 includes: using the roof reinforcement module to automatically hang the tunnel anchor net, and automatically install and pre-tighten the anchor rods and constant resistance anchor cables.

[0020] Preferably, in said S4, the top cutting drill holes are tracked and corrected in real time to ensure that the multiple top cutting drill holes have the same inclination angle and are in a straight line along the direction of the tunnel.

[0021] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned cross-collapse pillar-free coal pillar mining lane forming system and method, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) Through seismic advance detection and intelligent drilling detection, the geological conditions in the area ahead of the tunnel are surveyed in real time to clarify the impact range of the collapse column and the mechanical properties of the rock mass in the collapse column area;

[0023] (2) In the area across the collapse column, the directional liquid carbon dioxide phase change fracturing method is used to replace the traditional blasting to cut the top, which can ensure the cutting effect while reducing the disturbance and damage to the unstable rock mass of the collapse column and avoid the safety risks caused by blasting to cut the top;

[0024] (3) The self-bearing capacity of the surrounding rock in the collapse column area is improved by three-dimensional grouting of deep and shallow holes in the roof and constant resistance anchoring. The stability of the surrounding rock is improved. By adopting the rear-door controlled roof support, the effective support area and support strength of the roof are increased, and the support strength of the side is increased to ensure the safety and stability of the tunnel during the tunneling process, and to achieve safe tunneling across the collapse column area.

[0025] (4) The method of mining across the collapse pillar without coal pillars can eliminate coal pillars and improve the recovery rate of coal resources. At the same time, it can solve the problem of stress concentration, optimize stress distribution, and improve the safety and stability of the tunnels in the collapse pillar area.

[0026] (5) Through the cross-collapse pillar-forming coal pillar-free mining system, automatic tunneling can be achieved during the mining process, avoiding premature tunnel excavation and shortening the tunnel exposure time.
