[0002] As global energy demand continues to grow, the mining of deep solid mineral resources has become increasingly critical. Traditional mining methods have problems such as low efficiency, high transportation costs, serious environmental damage, and difficulty in ensuring worker safety. Especially in deep resource mining, the complexity of geological conditions, huge rock pressure, and insufficient coal seam permeability further increase the difficulty of mining.

The present invention uses high-voltage electric pulses to break the coal seam without polluting or damaging the coal seam. In the process of electric pulse cracking the coal body, the energy is mainly concentrated on the shock wave. The coal body is cracked by the shock wave. Due to the fast propagation speed and short action time of the shock wave, a large amount of energy can be transferred to the coal body in a short time, thereby achieving an efficient cracking effect. At the same time, the electric pulse device can repeatedly discharge two adjacent perforations in the horizontal direction. As the number of shock wave operations increases, the degree of coal body crushing increases. Electric pulse fracturing can accurately control the energy input and action time, thereby improving coal crushing efficiency.

[0034] Compared with traditional water jet coal mining technology, the coal mining technology of the present invention adopts the synergistic effect of laser, electric pulse and water jet to achieve precise drilling and efficient crushing of coal seams. At the same time, various parameters can be flexibly adjusted according to coal mining needs during the coal mining process, which not only greatly reduces the waste of water resources, but also saves a lot of workload for subsequent hydraulic coal mining, and significantly improves coal mining efficiency.
