BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The drawings constituting a part of the present application are used to provide a further understanding of the present invention. The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention and do not constitute an improper limitation of the present invention. In the drawings:

[0030] Figure 1 A flow chart of a mining method provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown;

[0031] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of specific steps of a mining process provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a mining method, which includes: dividing the coal rock to be excavated along the height direction to divide the coal rock to be excavated into multiple excavation layers; dividing each of the multiple excavation layers into a backhoe layer and a hook layer along the height direction, and the backhoe layer is located above the hook layer; first performing a backhoe operation on the backhoe layer in each excavation layer, and then performing a hook operation on the hook layer in each excavation layer, and finally performing coal excavation on each excavation layer.

[0034] By adopting the mining method provided in this embodiment, all flat plates are mined at one time, avoiding repeated excavation and rework. There is no need for secondary dumping, which effectively reduces mining costs, saves working time, and improves mining efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment, the backhoe layer in each excavation layer is first backhoe operated, then the hook layer in each excavation layer is hooked, and finally the coal is excavated in each excavation layer, including: backhoeing part of the rock and part of the coal in the backhoe layer in a predetermined direction in the backhoe layer, and after completing the backhoeing of the backhoe layer, the hooking operation is performed on the interface between the rock and the coal in the hook layer to form a hooking area; after completing the hooking operation on the interface between the rock and the coal in the hook layer, the remaining coal in the excavation layer is mined along the distribution direction from the coal to the rock. Such a method can facilitate the effective excavation of the coal in the coal rock to be excavated. Specifically, the coal in the coal rock to be excavated in this embodiment is triangular coal.

[0036] Specifically, when the backhoe layer performs a backhoe operation on part of the rock and part of the coal in the backhoe layer in a predetermined direction, the mining method further includes: using a backhoe excavator to perform a backhoe operation on part of the rock and part of the coal in the backhoe layer in a predetermined direction, and the preset backhoe area of ​​the backhoe operation on the coal area of ​​the backhoe layer is larger than the occupied area of ​​the backhoe excavator, so that the backhoe excavator performs a hook pulling operation in the preset backhoe area. By adopting such a method, it is possible to improve the operational safety of the backhoe excavator during the hook pulling operation, so as to facilitate the stable hook pulling operation.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the backhoe layer performs a backhoe operation on part of the rock and part of the coal in the backhoe layer in a predetermined direction, the mining method further includes: providing a preset safety distance between the edge of the backhoe operation and the boundary of the rock area of ​​the backhoe layer. By adopting such a method, a predetermined safety platform can be left to prevent the backfill material from collapsing, thereby ensuring the safety of mining.

[0038] Specifically, the mining method further includes: the preset safety distance in the lower excavation layer of two adjacent excavation layers is greater than the preset safety distance in the upper excavation layer of two adjacent excavation layers. This method can further improve the safety of mining and avoid collapse above.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the backhoe layer performs a backhoe operation on part of the rock and part of the coal in the backhoe layer in a predetermined direction, the mining method further includes: performing a backhoe operation on part of the rock and part of the coal in the backhoe layer at a maximum excavation depth. This method can facilitate better excavation and improve mining efficiency.

[0040] It should be noted that the "maximum excavation depth" here can be understood as the maximum excavation depth that does not affect the structural stability of the layer and does not cause collapse.

[0041] Specifically, the multiple excavation layers include a first excavation layer, which is located at the top of the coal rock to be excavated; in the backhoe layer, a backhoe operation is performed on part of the rock and part of the coal in the backhoe layer according to a predetermined direction, including: a backhoe operation is performed along the distribution direction of the coal from the coal rock to be excavated to the rock from the coal rock to be excavated. This method can facilitate smooth backhoe operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the multiple excavation layers include a second excavation layer, which is located below the top of the coal rock to be excavated; a backhoe operation is performed on part of the rock and part of the coal in the backhoe layer in a predetermined direction, including: performing a backhoe operation along the distribution direction from the rock to be excavated to the coal in the coal rock to be excavated.

[0043] Specifically, the remaining coal in the excavation layer is mined along the distribution direction of the coal to the rock, including: using an electric shovel to excavate the remaining coal in the excavation layer. This method can improve the efficiency of coal mining.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mining method further includes: the hook area in the lower excavation layer of two adjacent excavation layers is located on the side of the hook area in the upper excavation layer of the two adjacent excavation layers close to the rock area. With this method, it is possible to smoothly excavate the triangular coal, ensure the full recovery of the triangular coal, and avoid waste of the coal area.

[0045] See attached Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when removing the middle bridge in an open-pit mine, a hydraulic backhoe is used to operate according to the following process:

[0046] According to step ①, the width of coal mining is about 15 meters, and the width of rock mining is about 40 meters. The excavation depth can be as deep as the maximum depth, and the excavation direction is as shown by the arrow (the purpose of coal mining is to make room for the backhoe to stand in step ②, and the same applies to ④, ⑦ and ①).

[0047] After completing step ①, the backhoe moves to the location of step ② to carry out the hook pulling operation of step ②. The depth is determined by the maximum depth or the thickness of the upper coal layer, and the mining direction is as indicated by the arrow (steps ⑤ and ⑧ are the same as ②).

[0048] Step ③, follow the direction of the arrow and mine the upper coal layer to a position close to the safety platform (Steps ⑥ and ⑨ are the same as ③, but be careful to leave a safety platform of about 5 meters to prevent the backfill material from collapsing).

[0049] It should be noted that in step ③, the overall location can be taken at a position on one side of the security platform close to the next level of the corresponding area.

[0050] exist Figure 1In the figure, the operation ranges of steps ①, ②, ④, ⑤, ⑦ and ⑧ have been correspondingly illustrated in the closed square area in the figure, and the square area corresponding to each of the above steps includes part of the coal seam and part of the rock layer.

[0051] Specifically, in steps ③, ⑥, and ⑨, an electric shovel can be used for excavation, which will make the excavation more efficient and more cost-effective.

[0052] Hydraulic backhoes are mainly used to assist mining operations in large open-pit mines. Because of their flexible deployment and the ability to work with various large mining trucks, they have a wide range of applications. The hydraulic backhoe is used in the optimized mining process of coal-rock separation at the intermediate bridge, which is technically feasible, safe, and economically reasonable, and can be well applied.

[0053] Specifically, if after the first step is completed, the backhoe dumps the goods for the second time, and the electric shovel loads the truck after the hook is pulled, there will be problems of time-consuming work and waste of costs. In addition, there is a problem that the triangular coal cannot be recycled, which wastes resources.

[0054] Specifically, for the sake of safety and convenience of operation, both step ④ and step ⑦ are carried out in the opposite direction of step ①. Specifically, when mining in step ①, the operation is carried out on a flat ground, and there are no high steps around; while in step ④ and step ⑦, there are already high steps in the direction of the rock (because the upper coal has been mined); if it is still mined in the direction of step ①, the place where the backhoe stands will be dug out, and the backhoe will be forced to the bottom of the high step, which is very dangerous, because the materials used to build the middle bridge are backfill materials, which are prone to collapse. By adopting the opposite direction, the backhoe can be mined while staying away from the high step, and its own safety is guaranteed. When performing steps ④ and ⑦, there are already high steps in the direction of the rock. When operating again, for safety reasons, a safety platform needs to be reserved under the high step. If it is still mined in the direction of step ①, the size of the safety platform cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, by setting the above different mining directions, the safety of mining can be effectively guaranteed.

[0055] Specifically, the overall height of the coal rock to be excavated is h, and the overall height of the coal rock to be excavated is divided into three equal parts, namely, an upper coal layer, a middle coal layer and a lower coal layer, and excavation operations are gradually performed on the upper coal layer, the middle coal layer and the lower coal layer.

[0056] Specifically, the average thickness of the coal rock to be excavated can be 45 meters, and the upper coal layer, middle coal layer and lower coal layer are set to 15-meter steps respectively, and large equipment is used for operation. Specifically, the specific size can be flexibly adjusted according to different step heights, and different equipment models and sizes, without deliberate control.

[0057] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: all triangular coal can be recovered, resource waste can be avoided, efficiency can be improved, the number of equipment investments can be reduced as much as possible, and costs can be reduced. All flat plates are mined once to avoid repeated rework. There is no need for secondary dumping, which wastes costs and time. Compared with bridge dismantling by electric shovel, this process can recover about 10,000 tons of triangular coal, and requires an additional 50,000 m of stripping. 3 Rocks are dumped nearby, and the transportation distance is about 0.5 km. At present, the profit of a ton of coal is about 260 yuan / ton, and the transportation cost of a 326-ton truck in an open-pit mine is about 2 yuan / (km*m 3 ), hydraulic shovel excavation cost is about 1 yuan / m 3 From the above data, it can be calculated that this process can save costs = 1*260-5*1-5*0.5*2 = 2.5 million yuan.
