Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of blasting engineering auxiliary devices, and in particular relates to a fully automatic plugging device and a plugging method for the bottom of a through-hole blasthole. Background Art

[0002] As the core link in mining operations, the efficiency and safety of drilling and blasting technology are directly related to the progress and cost of the entire project. Drilling and blasting technology is particularly widely used in many fields such as water conservancy and hydropower, tunnel excavation, and transportation construction. It effectively breaks up geological structures such as rocks and soil, creating favorable conditions for subsequent construction or mining operations.

[0003] In the traditional through-hole blasthole charging process, the blocking operation at the bottom of the blasthole is a crucial step. The setting of the blockage is to ensure that the explosive in the hole can be stably placed in the predetermined position to prevent it from falling due to gravity or other factors before charging or detonation, thereby ensuring the consistency and safety of the blasting effect. At present, local materials are often used in underground mining operations, and the blasthole is generally blocked by steel wire binding cement balls. Although this method meets the basic operation needs to a certain extent, its inherent limitations are also increasingly prominent: ① The operation process of steel wire binding cement balls is cumbersome and complicated, and it is necessary to manually measure the suspension length of the steel wire accurately to ensure that the cement ball can accurately reach the designated position of the blasthole. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing labor costs, but also easily affected by human factors in actual operation, resulting in inaccurate blocking position and affecting the blasting effect; ② The combination of steel wire and cement ball has hidden dangers in terms of stability. Due to the flexibility of the steel wire and the rigidity of the cement ball, the two are prone to loosening or displacement when subjected to long-term force or external impact, thereby affecting the blocking effect. In addition, the production quality of cement blocks is difficult to ensure consistency, and their performance indicators such as density and strength may fluctuate due to various factors in the production process, thereby affecting the overall performance of the plug.
