Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coal mining, and in particular to a method and device for determining three vertical zones in overburden. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the process of coal seam mining, the disturbance caused by the force generated by mining on the structure of the overburden on the coal seam is inevitable. As the coal seam is mined, the overburden will undergo changes such as bending, fracture and collapse under the action of gravity, and eventually form a vertical three-band structure in the overburden above the coal seam currently being mined. Therefore, how to predict whether the vertical three-band is generated is crucial to guiding the rock control and hydrogeological support work in coal mining.

[0003] In the related art, the three vertical zones are usually determined by combining empirical formulas, theoretical models and field observation data. Empirical formulas and theoretical models are often based on simplified assumptions and may not accurately reflect the response of rock formations under complex geological conditions, especially in the special case of overlapping mining of shallow buried coal seams. The field observation data method requires a large amount of field data on rock formations and mining conditions, but in some cases, the above field data may be difficult to obtain or insufficient, affecting the accuracy of the prediction.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for determining three vertical zones in overburden is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0028] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining three vertical zones in overburden according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0029] Step S102, obtaining mechanical characteristic information and geological characteristic information corresponding to the overburden above the coal seam.

[0030] In the technical solution provided in the above step S102 of the present invention, the mechanical characteristic information can be used to indicate the stability of the overburden under the action of different forces. The mechanical characteristic information can be compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, etc. The geological characteristic information is used to indicate the stability of the structure of the overburden. The geological characteristic information can be thickness, occurrence (i.e., the inclination angle and direction of the rock layer), bulk density, etc.

[0031] In this embodiment, if it is necessary to monitor whether the coal seam mining process will encounter danger, the mechanical characteristic information and geological characteristic information corresponding to the overburden above the coal seam being mined can be obtained.

[0032] Optionally, if the compressive strength or thickness of the overburden is too small during coal seam mining, the risk of mining will increase. Especially in the mining process of shallow buried coal seams, the thickness of the overburden is small. If the compressive strength and other information are also low, the overburden is more susceptible to mining disturbances, and will break, slide and collapse, thereby increasing the risk of mining. Therefore, how to monitor the mechanical characteristic information and address characteristic information of the overburden above the coal seam in real time during the mining process to further determine the three vertical zones is particularly important for avoiding danger to personnel during the mining process. That is, obtaining the mechanical characteristic information and geological characteristic information of the overburden above the coal seam during mining can ensure the stability and safety of the mining process.

[0033] For example, the compressive strength of the mechanical characteristic information corresponding to the overburden above the coal seam can be obtained through core sampling, rock mechanics experiments, geological surveys, etc. The thickness of the geological characteristic information corresponding to the overburden above the coal seam can be obtained through geological exploration methods such as geological profiles, geological drilling, and seismic exploration.

[0034] It should be noted that the above-mentioned method of obtaining the mechanical characteristic information and geological characteristic information corresponding to the overburden above the coal seam is only for illustration and is not specifically limited here. As long as the information can be used to measure the compressive resistance of the overburden under different forces and the specific structure of the overburden, and the corresponding acquisition method, they are all within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] Step S104, based on the mechanical characteristic information and the geological characteristic information, respectively determine the cumulative loads corresponding to the multiple sub-rock layers in the overburden, and based on the cumulative loads, select at least one initial sub-rock layer from the multiple sub-rock layers.

[0036] In the technical solution provided in the above step S104 of the present invention, after obtaining the mechanical characteristic information and geological characteristic information corresponding to the overburden above the coal seam, the cumulative load corresponding to each sub-rock layer in the overburden can be determined based on the mechanical characteristic information and the geological characteristic information, and at least one initial sub-rock layer can be selected from multiple sub-rock layers based on the cumulative load. The sub-rock layer can be any rock layer in the overburden above the coal seam in the coal mine. The initial sub-rock layer can be a sub-rock layer whose cumulative load meets the cumulative load threshold among multiple sub-rock layers, and can also be called a hard rock layer.

[0037] Optionally, the cumulative load can be used to reflect the pressure superposition of the overburden layer on the overburden layer below it, which is an important basis for judging the fracture tendency of the rock layer. The cumulative load threshold can be used to screen out sub-rock layers (initial sub-rock layers) that may be sensitive to mining disturbances or play an important role in the overburden structure.

[0038] Optionally, the cumulative load threshold may be set based on a comprehensive consideration of the mechanical and geological characteristics of the overburden, and an assessment of the load that the rock layer may bear. The cumulative load threshold may be pre-set, for example, the sum of the previous cumulative loads of the overburden layer below the current overburden layer, or may be pre-set based on rules such as empirical formulas or guidelines for rock type, mining depth, or geological pressure, which are only for illustration and are not specifically limited here.

[0039] In this embodiment, based on the collected mechanical characteristic information and geological characteristic information, the rock mechanics theory can be used to calculate the cumulative loads corresponding to multiple sub-rock layers in the overburden. By comparing the magnitude relationship between the cumulative loads of each sub-rock layer and the cumulative load threshold, at least one initial sub-rock layer with a cumulative load higher than the threshold can be screened out from multiple sub-rock layers, so that the deformation and damage of the overburden can be judged in advance, possible safety hazards can be predicted, and effective prevention and control measures can be taken to ensure the safe operation of coal mine production.

[0040] Step S106, determining a fracture step distance of at least one initial sub-rock layer based at least on the accumulated load, and determining a target sub-rock layer from the at least one initial sub-rock layer based on the fracture step distance.

[0041] In the technical solution of step S106 of the present invention, after at least one initial sub-rock layer is screened out from multiple sub-rock layers based on the cumulative load, the fracture step of at least one initial sub-rock layer can be determined based at least on the cumulative load, and the target sub-rock layer can be determined from at least one initial sub-rock layer based on the fracture step. Among them, the fracture step of the target sub-rock layer meets the fracture step threshold. The target sub-rock layer can be a key layer. The fracture step is the distance or number of steps from the beginning of deformation to the occurrence of fracture damage under the action of force on the overburden, which can be used to describe the stability and fracture characteristics of the overburden, and is closely related to the mechanical characteristic information corresponding to the overburden above the coal seam and the cumulative load. The fracture step threshold can be used to identify which sub-rock layers may become key layers or potential key layers after mining disturbance, thereby affecting the stability of the overburden and the development of the fracture zone. The setting of the fracture step threshold can be based on a comprehensive consideration of the mechanical characteristics, geological characteristics and mining conditions corresponding to the overlying rock above the coal seam. For example, it can be the fracture step of each initial sub-rock layer below the current initial sub-rock layer. It should be noted that the size of the above-mentioned fracture step threshold is only for example and is not specifically limited here.

[0042] In this embodiment, if the fracture step of the initial sub-rock layer meets the fracture step threshold, the initial sub-rock layer at this time can be regarded as the target sub-rock layer, that is, the key layer. Accurate identification of the target sub-rock layer can predict the stability and potential fracture of the overburden in advance, adjust the mining strategy in real time, enhance the controllability of the mining process, and predict the position and height of the three vertical zones of the overburden, providing a basis for safety measures and risk assessment of coal mining projects, and reducing interruptions and accident losses during the mining process.

[0043] Step S108, detecting the target sub-rock layer to obtain a detection result, and based on the detection result, determining three vertical zones from the target sub-rock layer.

[0044] In the technical solution provided in the above step S108 of the present invention, after determining the target sub-rock layer from at least one initial sub-rock layer, the target sub-rock layer can be detected to obtain the detection result, and based on the detection result, the three vertical zones can be determined from the target sub-rock layer. Among them, the detection result is used to indicate whether the target sub-rock layer is in a fractured state. The three vertical zones may include a collapse zone, a fault zone, and a curved sinking zone. A collapse zone refers to a rock layer area where the rock layer completely collapses after mining disturbance, the rock mass loses its original structure, and forms a loose or broken state. A fault zone is an area where the target sub-rock layer reaches or exceeds the fracture step threshold under mining disturbance, the rock layer cracks and connects into a belt, but the rock mass still maintains a certain structural strength. A curved sinking zone refers to an area where the overburden does not reach a fractured state under mining disturbance, the rock layer shows elastic deformation and bending sinking, and this part of the rock layer is relatively stable and the degree of crack development is low.

[0045] Optionally, in the process of detecting the key layer, the separation space below the key layer (that is, the space away from the coal seam) and the relevant parameters of the key blocks formed by the key layer being in a fractured state (for example, thickness, etc.) can be detected to obtain corresponding detection results. That is, detecting the key layer through the above process can not only be used to determine whether the target sub-rock layer is in a fractured state, but also can further determine the vertical three zones.

[0046] Optionally, the state of the target sub-rock layer can be detected by ground and underground geological radar, microseismic monitoring, acoustic emission technology, core analysis, seismic wave reflection and other methods, which are only for example and are not specifically limited here. As long as the method can be used to detect whether the target sub-rock layer is in a fractured state, it is within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] In the above steps S102 to S108 of the present application, if the three vertical zones in the overburden are to be determined, the mechanical characteristic information and geological characteristic information corresponding to the overburden above the coal seam can be obtained; based on the mechanical characteristic information and geological characteristic information, the cumulative loads corresponding to the multiple sub-rock layers in the overburden are determined respectively, and based on the cumulative loads, at least one initial sub-rock layer is screened out from the multiple sub-rock layers; at least based on the cumulative load, the fracture step of at least one initial sub-rock layer is determined, and based on the fracture step, the target sub-rock layer is determined from the at least one initial sub-rock layer; the target sub-rock layer is detected to obtain the detection result, and based on the detection result, the vertical three zones are determined from the target sub-rock layer. In this embodiment, the target sub-rock layer (key layer) is determined by screening the sub-rock layers twice, and the cumulative load is determined for the first time to screen out the initial sub-rock layer, which is more comprehensive than the empirical method. The second time, the fracture step of different initial sub-rock layers and the corresponding fracture step threshold are compared to screen out the key layer that is easy to produce the three vertical zones. By evaluating whether the key layer is in a fractured state, it is possible to determine whether three vertical zones are generated in the key layer, and accurately determine whether it is a fracture zone, a collapse zone or a curved subsidence zone, making the determination of the three vertical zones more comprehensive and objective, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the accuracy of determining the three vertical zones in the overburden rock, and solving the technical problem of low accuracy in determining the three vertical zones in the overburden rock.

[0048] The above method of this embodiment is further introduced below.

[0049] As an optional implementation method, the mechanical characteristic information includes at least the elastic modulus of the overburden, and the geological characteristic information includes at least the thickness, weight and volume of the overburden, wherein step S104, based on the mechanical characteristic information and the geological characteristic information, respectively determines the cumulative loads corresponding to multiple sub-rock layers in the overburden, including: according to the arrangement order corresponding to the multiple sub-rock layers in the overburden, the cumulative loads of the sub-rock layers are determined based on the elastic modulus, thickness, weight and volume corresponding to different sub-rock layers.

[0050] In this embodiment, in the process of determining the cumulative loads corresponding to multiple sub-rock layers in the overburden based on the mechanical characteristic information and the geological characteristic information, the cumulative loads of the sub-rock layers can be determined based on the elastic modulus, thickness, weight and volume corresponding to different sub-rock layers in accordance with the arrangement order of the multiple sub-rock layers in the overburden. Among them, the mechanical characteristic information at least includes the elastic modulus of the overburden, and the geological characteristic information at least includes the thickness, weight and volume of the overburden. The arrangement order can be from top to bottom, which is only for illustration here and is not specifically limited.

[0051] Alternatively, the cumulative load on the formation can be determined by the following formula:

[0052]

[0053] Among them, q n It can be used to represent the cumulative load of the rock formation, with the unit of N; E can be used to represent the elastic modulus, for example, E i It can be used to represent the elastic modulus of the i-th rock layer in GPa; h can be used to represent the thickness of the rock layer, for example, h i It can be used to indicate the thickness of the j-th rock layer, in meters.

[0054]

[0055] Among them, W n Can be used to indicate the weight of rock formation, the unit is KN; V n Can be used to express the volume of rock formations in m 3 .

[0056] As an optional implementation manner, the cumulative load threshold is the cumulative load of the next sub-rock layer of the sub-rock layer, wherein based on the cumulative load, at least one initial sub-rock layer is screened out from multiple sub-rock layers, including: in response to the cumulative load of the sub-rock layer being greater than the cumulative load of the next sub-rock layer of the sub-rock layer, determining that the sub-rock layer is the initial sub-rock layer; the method also includes: in response to the cumulative load of the sub-rock layer being less than or equal to the cumulative load threshold, determining that the sub-rock layer is not the initial sub-rock layer.

[0057] In this embodiment, in the process of selecting at least one initial sub-rock layer from multiple sub-rock layers based on the cumulative load, the sub-rock layer may be determined to be the initial sub-rock layer if the cumulative load of the sub-rock layer is greater than the cumulative load of the next sub-rock layer of the sub-rock layer. If the cumulative load of the sub-rock layer is less than or equal to the cumulative load threshold, the sub-rock layer is determined not to be the initial sub-rock layer.

[0058] Optionally, the next sub-layer of the sub-layer, that is, layer n+1, the cumulative load of layer n+1 can be expressed as q n+1The cumulative load of each sub-layer can be calculated from top to bottom, and the cumulative load q of the nth layer is taken as n The cumulative load q of the n+1 layer n+1 By comparison, it can be determined whether the sub-layer is the initial sub-layer.

[0059] Optionally, if the cumulative load of a sub-layer is greater than the cumulative load of the next sub-layer of the sub-layer, that is, q n >q n+1 , we can determine that the nth layer is a hard rock layer. If the cumulative load of the sub-rock layer is less than or equal to the cumulative load threshold, that is, q n ≤q n+1 , then it cannot be determined that the nth layer is a hard rock layer.

[0060] As an optional implementation method, the mechanical characteristic information also includes tensile strength, wherein step S106, at least based on the cumulative load, determines the fracture step of at least one initial sub-rock layer, including: determining the fracture step based on the thickness, tensile strength and cumulative load of the initial sub-rock layer.

[0061] In this embodiment, in the process of determining the fracture step length of at least one initial sub-rock layer based at least on the cumulative load, the fracture step length may be determined based on the thickness, tensile strength and cumulative load of the initial sub-rock layer, wherein the mechanical characteristic information also includes tensile strength.

[0062] Alternatively, the fracture step length l of a hard rock formation can be calculated by the following formula: :

[0065] As an optional implementation method, in response to there being multiple initial sub-rock layers, the fracture step threshold is the fracture step of each initial sub-rock layer below the initial sub-rock layer, or the fracture step of the initial sub-rock layer above the initial sub-rock layer, wherein a target sub-rock layer is determined from at least one initial sub-rock layer, including: in response to the fracture step of the initial sub-rock layer being greater than the fracture step of each initial sub-rock layer below the initial sub-rock layer, the initial sub-rock layer is determined to be the target sub-rock layer; in response to the fracture step of the initial sub-rock layer being less than the fracture step of the initial sub-rock layer above the initial sub-rock layer, the initial sub-rock layer and the initial sub-rock layer above the initial sub-rock layer are determined to be the target sub-rock layer.

[0066] In this embodiment, when there are multiple initial sub-rock layers and the fracture step threshold is the fracture step of each initial sub-rock layer below the initial sub-rock layer, or the fracture step of the initial sub-rock layer above the initial sub-rock layer, in the process of determining the target sub-rock layer from at least one initial sub-rock layer, when the fracture step of the initial sub-rock layer is greater than the fracture step of each initial sub-rock layer below the initial sub-rock layer, the initial sub-rock layer can be determined as the target sub-rock layer; when the fracture step of the initial sub-rock layer is less than the fracture step of the initial sub-rock layer above the initial sub-rock layer, the initial sub-rock layer and the initial sub-rock layer above the initial sub-rock layer are determined as the target sub-rock layer.

[0067] Optionally, if the fracture step length of the initial sub-layer is greater than the fracture step length of each initial sub-layer below the initial sub-layer, that is, l i >l j , we can determine that the jth layer is the key layer (j is the hard rock layer below the i layer). If the fracture step of the initial sub-layer is smaller than the fracture step of the initial sub-layer above the initial sub-layer, that is, l i <l i-1 , then the hard rock layer i-1 adds j layers to bear the load and recalculates the fracture step l i-1 If l i >l i-1 , then the i-th layer and the i-1-th layer are composite key layers.

[0070] Optionally, the lower separation space is an important geological parameter in coal mining engineering, which mainly refers to the void or crack space below the key layer caused by the movement, fracture or bending of the overburden after coal mining. The maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation can be used to evaluate the deformation capacity of the rock layer under mining disturbance, especially the bending and sinking characteristics of the rock layer. The settlement distance is the vertical decline of the ground or underground rock layer relative to its original position under the action of gravity, mining disturbance or other external forces, which can reflect the impact of mining activities on the structural stability of the overburden and the ground environment. The rotation angle data is used to indicate the degree of rotation and displacement of the rock layer or rock block under mining disturbance, which is related to the structural change of the rock layer and the movement state of the overburden. The block size data of the key block mainly refers to the ratio of the thickness to the length of the key block, that is, the thickness-to-length ratio of the key block, which can affect the mechanical behavior in the overburden, and thus is related to the formation and evolution of the collapse zone, fault zone and bending sinking zone.

If the lower separation space is greater than or equal to the maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation, it can be determined that the detection result is that the target sub-rock layer is in a fractured state. In the process of determining the vertical three zones from the target sub-rock layer based on the first detection result, when the lower separation space is less than the maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation, the first detection result can be determined that the target sub-rock layer is not in a fractured state, and the target sub-rock layer and the sub-rock layer above the target sub-rock layer are determined as the bending and sinking zone.

[0081] Optionally, when the lower separation space is greater than or equal to the maximum bending sinking vertical deformation, that is, ω i ≥ω max , then the key layer i breaks. When the space of the lower separation layer is less than the maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation, that is, ω i <ω max , then the key layer i and the overlying rock strata are curved subsidence zones.

[0082] As an optional implementation method, the extreme instability settlement amount includes a first extreme instability settlement amount and a second extreme instability settlement amount, the first extreme instability settlement amount is less than the second extreme instability settlement amount, wherein, based on the lower delamination space and the extreme instability settlement amount corresponding to the target sub-rock layer, a second detection result is determined, including: in response to the lower delamination space being greater than or equal to the first extreme instability settlement amount, and the lower delamination space being less than or equal to the second extreme instability settlement amount, determining that the second detection result is that the target sub-rock layer is in a fractured state; based on the second detection result, determining three vertical zones from the target sub-rock layer, including: in response to the lower delamination space being greater than or equal to the first extreme instability settlement amount, and the lower delamination space being less than or equal to the second extreme instability settlement amount, determining the target sub-rock layer and the sub-rock layer above the target sub-rock layer as fracture zones.

[0083] In this embodiment, in the process of determining the second detection result based on the lower delamination space and the limit instability settlement corresponding to the target sub-rock layer, the second detection result can be determined as the target sub-rock layer is in a fractured state when the lower delamination space is greater than or equal to the first limit instability settlement and the lower delamination space is less than or equal to the second limit instability settlement. In the process of determining the vertical three zones from the target sub-rock layer based on the second detection result, the target sub-rock layer and the sub-rock layer above the target sub-rock layer can be determined as a fracture zone when the lower delamination space is greater than or equal to the first limit instability settlement and the lower delamination space is less than or equal to the second limit instability settlement.

[0101] When the above formula is satisfied, it can be determined that the second detection result is that the target sub-rock layer is in a fractured state.

[0102] As an optional implementation method, a third detection result is determined based on the rotation angle data, the maximum rotation angle data and the block size data of the key block, including: determining a block size threshold of the block size based on the rotation angle data and the maximum rotation angle data; determining the third detection result in response to the block size being less than or equal to the block size threshold; determining three vertical zones from the target sub-rock layer based on the third detection result, including: determining the target sub-rock layer and the sub-rock layer above the target sub-rock layer as collapse zones in response to the block size being less than or equal to the block size threshold.

In the process of determining the vertical three zones from the target sub-rock layer based on the third detection result, when the block size is less than or equal to the block size threshold, the target sub-rock layer and the sub-rock layer above the target sub-rock layer can be determined as the collapse zone.

[0104] Optionally, the blockiness threshold of the blockiness can be determined by the following formula:

[0105] 0.5+2sinθ i / max -sinθ i

[0106] If the blockiness is less than or equal to the blockiness threshold, that is, when the following formula is satisfied, the key layer i and its load rock layer are fault zones, otherwise the key layer i and the load layer are collapse zones.

[0107] α≤0.5+2sinθ i / max -sinθ i

[0108] Optionally, when the key block reaches the maximum rotation angle θ i | max When , the maximum rotation angle data can be determined by the following formula:

[0109]

[0110] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the three vertical zones in the overburden are to be determined, the mechanical characteristic information and geological characteristic information corresponding to the overburden above the coal seam can be obtained; based on the mechanical characteristic information and the geological characteristic information, the cumulative loads corresponding to the multiple sub-rock layers in the overburden are determined respectively, and based on the cumulative loads, at least one initial sub-rock layer is screened out from the multiple sub-rock layers; at least based on the cumulative load, the fracture step of at least one initial sub-rock layer is determined, and based on the fracture step, the target sub-rock layer is determined from the at least one initial sub-rock layer; the target sub-rock layer is detected to obtain the detection result, and based on the detection result, the three vertical zones are determined from the target sub-rock layer. In this embodiment, the target sub-rock layer (key layer) is determined by screening the sub-rock layers twice. The first time, the cumulative load is determined to screen out the initial sub-rock layer, which is more comprehensive than the empirical method. The second time, the fracture step of different initial sub-rock layers and the corresponding fracture step threshold are compared to screen out the key layer that is prone to produce the three vertical zones. By evaluating whether the key layer is in a fractured state, it is possible to determine whether three vertical zones are generated in the key layer, and accurately determine whether it is a fracture zone, a collapse zone or a curved subsidence zone, making the determination of the three vertical zones more comprehensive and objective, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the accuracy of determining the three vertical zones in the overburden rock, and solving the technical problem of low accuracy in determining the three vertical zones in the overburden rock.

[0111] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated below in conjunction with preferred implementation modes.

[0112] At present, after coal seam mining, the equilibrium state of the overburden strata in the mining area is disturbed by the mining of the working face, causing the bending, fracture, and collapse of the overburden strata, and finally forming a collapse zone, a fracture zone, and a curved sinking zone in the vertical direction of the mining area, collectively known as the "three vertical zones", or the three vertical zones. Among them, the collapse zone and the fracture zone are collectively known as the water-conducting fracture zone. The pre-determination of the water-conducting fracture zone is of great significance for mining under water and determining the role of the liberation layer when mining coal seams with outburst dangers.

[0113] In the related art, single coal seam mining often adopts empirical formulas, and the three vertical zones are determined by the mining thickness. However, for most shallow coal seams, there is no curved subsidence zone, so empirical formulas are no longer commonly used. The embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for determining the three vertical zones of overlapping disturbed overburden in a shallow coal seam group, introduces the key layer theory, and solves the problem of inaccurate division of the three vertical zones in shallow coal seam mining. In particular, when there is overlapping mining, the three vertical zones of the overburden will be disturbed twice to form new three vertical zones. In summary, the key layer is used as a more objective judgment basis to divide the three vertical zones of overlapping disturbed overburden in a shallow coal seam group, which is beneficial to the safe production of coal mines, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the accuracy of determining the three vertical zones in the overburden, and solving the technical problem of low accuracy in determining the three vertical zones in the overburden.

[0114] The embodiments of the present invention are further described below.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining three vertical zones of overlapping disturbed overburden in a shallow buried coal seam group according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the following steps may be included:

[0116] Step S201, obtaining the structure, lithology and mechanical parameters of the overlying rock layer.

[0117] In this embodiment, the structure, lithology and mechanical parameters of the overburden and coal seams can be collected, including the thickness, occurrence, compressive strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, bulk density, thickness, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the overburden and coal seams.

[0118] Step S202, hard rock layer identification: q n q n+1 .

[0119] In this embodiment, the cumulative load of each rock layer can be calculated from top to bottom, and the cumulative load q of the nth layer is taken as n The cumulative load q of the n+1 layer n+1 Compare. When q n q n+1 When , execute step S203; otherwise, execute step S204.

[0120] Alternatively, the cumulative load on the formation can be determined by the following formula:

[0121]

[0122] Among them, q n It can be used to represent the cumulative load of the rock formation, with the unit of N; E can be used to represent the elastic modulus, for example, E i It can be used to represent the elastic modulus of the i-th rock layer in GPa; h can be used to represent the thickness of the rock layer, for example, h i It can be used to indicate the thickness of the i-th rock layer in meters.

[0123]

[0124] Among them, W n Can be used to indicate the weight of rock formation, the unit is KN; V n Can be used to express the volume of rock formations in m 3 .

[0125] Step S203, calculating the fracture step distance of the hard rock layer i.

[0126] In this embodiment, when q n q n+1The fracture step distance of hard rock layer i can be calculated.

[0127] Alternatively, the fracture step length l of a hard rock formation can be calculated by the following formula: :

[0128]

[0129] Among them, σ t Can be used to express tensile strength.

[0130] Step S204: the rock layer is a load layer.

[0131] In this embodiment, when q n >q n+1 If it is not satisfied, it cannot be determined that the nth layer is a hard rock layer and the rock layer is a load-bearing layer.

[0132] Step S205, 1 i ≤l i-1 .

[0133] In this embodiment, the fracture step distance between the hard rock layer i and the layer i-1 can be determined. i ≤l i-1 , execute step S206.

[0134] Step S206, the hard rock layer i-1 increases the load bearing by i layers and recalculates the fracture step li-1.

[0135] In this embodiment, the fracture step li-1 can be recalculated by increasing the load bearing layer i-1 by the hard rock layer i-1.

[0136] Step S207, 1 i >l j .

[0137] In this embodiment, the fracture step distance between the hard rock layer i and the layer i-1 can be determined. i >l j , execute step S208.

[0138] Step S208: the i-th layer and the i-1-th layer are composite key layers.

[0139] In this embodiment, when the fracture step distance between the hard rock layer i and the i-1 layer, l i >l j When , the i-th layer and the i-1-th layer are composite key layers.

[0140] Step S209, 1 i >l j (j is all the hard layers below layer i).

[0141] In this embodiment, when the hard rock layer i is larger than all the hard layers below layer i, step S210 is executed.

[0142] Step S210, the i-th layer is a key layer.

[0143] In this embodiment, when the hard rock layer i is larger than all the hard layers below the i-th layer, the i-th layer is a key layer.

[0144] Through the above steps S201 to S210, key layer identification can be performed.

[0145] Step S211, w i ≥w max .

[0146] In this embodiment, when the lower separation space w i Greater than its maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation w max If the critical layer i is broken, the step S212 is executed; otherwise, the step S216 is executed.

[0147] Optionally, to determine whether the key layer i is broken, the stress structure of the shallow coal seam before the initial fracture can be regarded as a "simply supported beam" structure. The basis for the breaking of the key layer i of the "simply supported beam" structure is the lower separation space w i Is it greater than its maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation w? max , that is, w i ≥w max .

[0148] The lower separation space can be determined by the following formula:

[0149] ω i =K p ′[(1-c)M i +∑h i ]

[0150] Among them, K p ′ can be used to indicate the expansion coefficient of the broken rock mass in the collapse zone; c can be used to indicate the recovery rate of the upper coal seam; M can be used to indicate the thickness of the coal seam, in m; ∑h i It can be used to indicate the total thickness of the rock layer below the key layer i, in meters.

[0151] The maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation can be determined by the following formula:

[0152]

[0153] Among them, lc i It can be used to indicate the initial breaking step of key layer i, in m.

[0154] Step S212, ω′ i / min ≥ω i ≥ω′ i / max .

[0155] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the separation space of the key layer i is within the limit instability settlement of the "masonry beam" structure, that is, ω′ i / min ≥ω i ≥ω′ i / max . When the space below the layer ω i When it is greater than or equal to its maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation and less than or equal to the minimum bending and sinking vertical deformation, a stable "masonry beam" structure can be formed after the key layer i is broken, and the key layer i and its load rock layer are fracture zones, and step S215 is executed; otherwise, step S213 is executed.

[0156] Optionally, the vertical displacement caused by the rotation of the key block after the key layer i is fractured is the settlement distance ω′ of the rock layer i , then the rotation angle can be determined by the following formula:

[0157] sinθ i =w i / L zd

[0158] Among them, L zd It can be used to indicate the rotation span of key blocks in m.

[0159]

[0160] Alternatively, the ultimate instability settlement of the "masonry beam" structure can be determined by the following formula:

[0161]

[0162] Among them, g can be used to represent the acceleration due to gravity.

[0163] Among them, α can be used to represent the key block thickness-to-length ratio, which can be determined by the following formula:

[0164]

[0165] Thus, the separation space ω of the key layer i can be determined i Is it within the limit instability settlement of the "masonry beam" structure, that is: ω′ i / min ≥ω i ≥ω′ i / maX .

[0166] Step S213, α≤0.5+2sinθ i / max -sinθ i .

[0167] In this embodiment, when the key block size α≤0.5+2sinθ i / max -sinθ i , then execute step S215, otherwise, execute step S214.

[0168] Optionally, if the separation space ω below the key layer i i If the value is too large, it is impossible to form a "masonry beam" after the fracture. Then, after the critical layer i is fractured, can the key block form a "step rock beam" structure? i | max It can be determined by the following formula:

[0169] sinθ i | max =w′ i / L zd

[0170] When the key block reaches the maximum rotation angle, the condition for the “step rock beam” structure not to slide and become unstable is that the key block size α satisfies the following formula:

[0171] α≤0.5+2sinθ i / max -sinθ i

[0172] Then the key layer i and its load rock layer are fault zones, otherwise the key layer i and the load layer are collapse zones.

[0173] Step S214, the key layer i and the load layer are collapse zones.

[0174] In this embodiment, α≤0.5+2sinθ i / max -sinθ i If it is not satisfied, the key layer i and the load layer are collapse zones.

[0175] Step S215, the key layer i and its load rock layer are fault zones.

[0176] In this embodiment, α≤0.5+2sinθ i / max -sinθ i When it is satisfied, the key layer i and the load layer are collapse zones.

[0177] Step S216: the key layer i and the overlying layer are curved subsidence zones.

[0178] In this embodiment, when the lower separation space w i Does not meet the maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation w max When , the key layer i and the overlying layer are curved subsidence zones.

[0179] Through the above steps S211 to S216, the vertical three-zone identification of overlying strata in upper coal seam mining can be achieved.

[0180] Step S217, ω i+k ≥ω max +ω i .

[0181] In this embodiment, when the lower coal seam is mined, the three vertical zones of overlapping disturbance overburden of the coal seam are determined by the delamination space determined by the upper coal seam, the delamination space of the key layer, the maximum bending amount, and the formation of masonry beam structure and step beam structure.

[0182] Optionally, to determine whether the key layer i+k is broken, the separation space ω below the key layer can be calculated. i+k Is it greater than the maximum bending and sinking vertical deformation ω max and the critical layer i separation space ω i The sum of, that is:

[0183] ω i+k ≥ω max +ω i

[0184] Step S218, ω′ i+k / min ≥ω i+k ≥ω′ i+k / max .

[0185] In this embodiment, ω′ i+k / min ≥ω i+k ≥ω′ i+k / max If ω′ i+k / min ≥ω i+k ≥ω′ i+k / max If it is established, the key layer i+k is broken.

[0186] Alternatively, the separation space below the key layer can be determined by the following formula:

[0187] ω i+k =K p [(1-c)M i+k +∑h i+k ]

[0188]

[0189] Optionally, by judging whether a stable "masonry beam" structure can be formed after its fracture, the conditions under which the key blocks of the "masonry beam" do not become unstable, and the sliding instability condition can be determined by the following formula:

[0190]

[0191] The rotation instability condition can be determined by the following formula:

[0192]

[0193] The vertical displacement caused by the rotation of the key block after the key layer i+k is the settlement distance ω′ of the rock layer. i+k , the rotation angle can be determined by the following formula:

[0194]

[0195] Substituting the above formula into the sliding instability condition and the rotation instability condition formula, the ultimate instability settlement of the "masonry beam" structure can be obtained as follows:

[0196]

[0197] At this point, we can determine the critical layer i+k separation space ω i+k Whether it is within the limit instability settlement of the "masonry beam" structure, that is:

[0198] ω′ i+k / min ≥ω i+k ≥ω′ i+k / max

[0199] If ω′ i+k / min ≥ω i+k ≥ω′ i+k / max If it is established, a stable "masonry beam" structure can be formed after the key layer i+k is fractured, and the key layer i+k and its load rock layer are the fracture zone. If it is not established, execute step S219.

[0200] Step S219, α≤0.5+2sinθ i+k / max -sinθ i+k .

[0201] In this embodiment, if the separation space ω below the key layer i+k is i+kIf the critical layer i is too large, it cannot form a "masonry beam" after the fracture. Then, can the critical block form a "step rock beam" structure after the critical layer i is fractured? When the critical block reaches the maximum rotation angle, that is:

[0202]

[0203] The condition for the “step rock beam” structure to not slide and become unstable is that the critical block size α satisfies the following formula:

[0204] α≤0.5+2sinθ i+k / max -sinθ i+k

[0205] If the key block size α satisfies α≤0.5+2sinθ i+k / max -sinθ i+k , the key layer i+k and its load rock layer are fault zones, whereas the key layer i+k and the load layer are collapse zones.

[0206] Step S220, the key layer i+k and the load layer are collapse zones.

[0207] In this embodiment, if α≤0.5+2sinθ i+k / max -sinθ i+k If it is not true, the key layer i+k and the load layer are collapse zones.

[0208] Step S221, the key layer i+k and its load rock layer are fault zones.

[0209] In this embodiment, if α≤0.5+2sinθ i+k / max -sinθ i+k If it is established, the key layer i+k and its load rock layer are fault zones.

[0210] Step S222: the key layer i+k and the overlying layer are curved sinking zones.

[0211] In this embodiment, if ω i+k ≥ω max +ω i If it is not true, the key layer i+k and the overlying layer are curved subsidence zones.

[0212] Through the above steps S217 to S222, the vertical three-zone discrimination of the overlapping and disturbed overburden of the coal seam can be achieved.

[0213] In the embodiment of the present invention, a more objective judgment basis is used to divide the three vertical zones under overlapping mining of shallow buried coal seam groups, thereby improving the accuracy of division and the prediction accuracy of water-conducting fracture zones. The three vertical zones can be more accurately determined when mining under water bodies and mining coal seams with outstanding dangers. This has theoretical guiding significance for the safe and efficient mining of overlapping mining areas of shallow buried coal seam groups in my country, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the accuracy of determining the three vertical zones in the overburden, and solving the technical problem of low accuracy in determining the three vertical zones in the overburden.

[0214] The following uses a working face in a mine where a group of shallow coal seams are mined in overlap as the engineering background, divides the positions of the three vertical zones where a group of shallow coal seams are mined in overlap, and further explains.

[0215] Select a shallow coal seam group overlapping disturbance working face, and obtain the structure, lithology and mechanical parameters of the overlying rock layer through drilling, including the thickness, occurrence, compressive strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, bulk density, thickness, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the coal and rock layers. Calculate the cumulative load of each rock layer from top to bottom, and take the cumulative load q of the nth layer n The cumulative load q of the n+1 layer n+1 Compare all the hard rock layers i, and there is l hard rock layer after comparison, which is located 16m above the coal seam and has a rock layer thickness of 10.5m of medium-grained sandstone. Calculate the fracture step l of the hard rock layer from top to bottom to determine whether the hard rock layer is a key layer. The fracture step l of the hard rock layer 坚硬 =30.5m, which is greater than the fracture step of all the rock layers below, so the i-th layer is the key layer. According to the separation space, maximum bending amount and the formation of masonry beam structure and step beam structure of the key layer, the vertical three zones of shallow buried overlapping disturbance overburden are determined. The thickness of the upper coal seam is 6.2m, the separation space below the key layer 1 is ω1=3m, and the maximum bending sinking vertical deformation is ω max =1.3,ω1>ω max , key layer 1 is broken. After the key layer 1 is broken, the separation space is large and no layer is formed, forming a "step rock beam" structure α=0.51, satisfying α≤0.5+2sinθ i / max -sinθ i , with key layer 1 as the boundary, the lower part is the collapse zone, and key layer 1 and its load rock layer are fault zones. If there is only one key layer, the structure of key layer 1 can determine the overall state of the overburden of the upper coal seam, that is, with key layer 1 as the boundary, the lower part is the collapse zone, and key layer 1 and its load rock layer are fault zones, and there is no curved sinking zone.
