Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mine roadway support preparation, and in particular to a mine-use rapid-setting thin-spray support material, its preparation method, application, and spraying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The geological conditions of coal mine tunneling faces are complex. Some tunnels have loose and easily broken rock strata on the roof and sides. During drilling and anchor bolt installation, mechanical vibration can easily cause the surrounding rock to break and fall, damaging the anchor bolt holes and making it difficult to support the surrounding rock of the tunnel. To address this, the current support method is to use concrete, anchor bolts and mesh, and then concrete support. The purpose of the initial shotcrete support is to reinforce the loose and easily broken rock strata. The shotcrete layer forms a continuous whole with the rock strata, thereby preventing it from breaking and falling due to external vibration, which is conducive to the drilling of anchor bolts. Currently, the primary shotcrete material is shotcrete, and dry shotcrete is used for construction. The construction equipment is inexpensive and easy to operate.

[0003] However, some shortcomings of shotcrete have been found in long-term application. First, the concrete material has a long curing time, and it takes a long time to reach the strength required for temporary support, resulting in a long construction cycle. Second, the hardened concrete material is brittle and cracks and breaks after being subjected to external forces, so it cannot play a good role in the initial spraying of temporary support. At the same time, the concrete spraying process generates a lot of dust pollution, which can easily lead to silicosis and affect the health of workers. In addition, the high rebound rate of the concrete spraying process can easily cause serious material waste, which in turn increases the overall construction cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid-setting thin-film sprayed support material for mining, its preparation method, application, and spraying equipment. This aims to address several shortcomings of existing sprayed concrete technologies discovered during long-term application. Firstly, the concrete material has a long curing time, reaching the required strength for temporary support relatively slowly, resulting in a long construction cycle. Secondly, the hardened concrete material is brittle and prone to cracking and breakage under external forces, failing to effectively serve its purpose as initial temporary support. Furthermore, the spraying process generates significant dust pollution, potentially leading to silicosis and impacting worker health. Additionally, the high rebound rate during spraying results in substantial material waste, further increasing overall construction costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs a mine-use rapid-setting thin-spray support material, comprising combination A and combination B. Combination A comprises sulfoaluminate binder, VAE emulsion and water, and combination B comprises gypsum and silicate solution.

[0006] The composition includes 50-70 parts of sulfoaluminate binder, 10-20 parts of VAE emulsion, 10-40 parts of water, 60-75 parts of gypsum, and 25-40 parts of silicate solution.

[0007] This invention also provides a method for preparing a quick-setting thin-film sprayed support material for mining, which is applied to the aforementioned quick-setting thin-film sprayed support material for mining, comprising the following steps:

[0008] The sulfoaluminate binder, VAE emulsion, and water are mixed and stirred for 3–5 minutes to obtain combination A.

[0009] Mix the gypsum and silicate solution and stir for 3-5 minutes to obtain combination B;

[0010] Finally, combination A and combination B are mixed and sprayed using a spraying device to obtain a fast-setting support material.

[0011] The mass ratio of combination A to combination B is 1:1 to 2.

[0012] The sulfoaluminate binder is one of sulfoaluminate cement or sulfoaluminate cement clinker.

[0013] The gypsum is either anhydrous gypsum or hemihydrate gypsum.

[0014] The silicate solution is one of potassium silicate solution, sodium silicate solution, or silica sol.

[0015] The glass transition temperature of the VAE emulsion is between 0 and 10°C.

[0016] The aforementioned rapid-setting thin-spray support material for mining is applied to surface spraying in mining applications.

[0017] The pneumatic dual-liquid spraying equipment includes a dual-tube spray gun, a first diaphragm pump, a second diaphragm pump, and a main body. The dual-tube spray gun is provided with a first liquid inlet and a second liquid inlet. The dual-tube spray gun can spray a mist in an atomized fan shape, and the atomized fan shape is mixed outside the gun. The outlet end of the first diaphragm pump is connected to a first high-pressure liquid outlet hose, and the first high-pressure liquid outlet hose is connected to the dual-tube spray gun and located at the first liquid inlet. The inlet end of the first diaphragm pump is connected to a first suction pipe, and one end of the first suction pipe is provided with a first distribution tank. The outlet end of the second diaphragm pump is connected to a second high-pressure liquid outlet hose, and the second high-pressure liquid outlet hose is connected to the dual-tube spray gun and located at the second liquid inlet. The inlet end of the second diaphragm pump is connected to a second suction pipe, and the other end of the second suction pipe is provided with a second distribution tank. The first diaphragm pump and the second diaphragm pump are respectively symmetrically arranged on the main body of the equipment.

[0018] This invention discloses a rapid-setting thin-film sprayed support material for mining, its preparation method, application, and spraying equipment. The material includes combination A and combination B. Combination A comprises sulfoaluminate binder, VAE emulsion, and water. Combination B comprises gypsum and silicate solution. This designed rapid-setting thin-film sprayed support material can solidify quickly during spraying, forming a support layer with certain strength and flexibility in a very short time. It can provide rapid support for roadways, accelerating roadway support speed, shortening the construction cycle, improving roadway support efficiency, saving manpower and material resources, and reducing roadway support construction costs. This effectively solves the problem of long-term application... During the process, several shortcomings of shotcrete were discovered. First, the concrete material has a long curing time, reaching the strength required for temporary support relatively slowly, resulting in a long construction cycle. Second, the hardened concrete material is quite brittle, and cracks and breaks after being subjected to external forces, failing to effectively serve its purpose as initial temporary support. Furthermore, the shotcrete process generates a large amount of dust pollution, which can easily lead to silicosis and affect the health of workers. Additionally, the high rebound rate during shotcrete application leads to significant material waste, further increasing overall construction costs. Attached Figure Description
