[0035] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0036] A layered stripping method applied to an open-pit mine comprises the following steps:
[0037] Step 1: Layered planning and design; see Figure 1According to the shape and occurrence of the ore body, the open-pit mine is divided into 4 mining areas S with intervals; this step divides the open-pit mine into several mining areas S scientifically and reasonably according to the shape and occurrence of the ore body; such layered planning and design is conducive to the orderly progress of subsequent mining work and avoids the waste of resources and safety hazards caused by blind mining; at the same time, through the division with intervals, it can ensure that the mutual influence between the mining areas S is minimized, which is conducive to the realization of efficient and safe mining; at the same time, it avoids the disadvantages of too large a cross-zone and the need to transfer construction equipment across zones.
[0038] Step 2, data collection and preprocessing;
[0039] S21; data collection, drilling borehole 1 sampling in each mining area S to collect geological exploration data of the open-pit deposit;
[0040] S22; Data preprocessing, cleaning up outliers in samples, standardizing data, and ensuring data quality; data standardization involves partitioning values, with the value partitions accounting for the largest proportion; such data include but are not limited to data in the fields of civil engineering and geological engineering such as the proportion of mineral metals and land cohesion.
[0041] Data collection is the basis of the entire layered stripping method. By sampling boreholes in each mining area, geological exploration data of open-pit deposits can be obtained; data preprocessing is to clean and standardize the collected data to ensure the quality and accuracy of the data; the completion of this step provides reliable data support for subsequent data analysis and simulation.
[0042] Step 3, explore the data;
[0043] S31; Data visualization, draw a planning diagram between the slope depth H2, slope a and slope length H1 according to the data obtained in step 2; wherein the slope depth refers to the vertical height between the highest point and the lowest point formed during the mining process of the open-pit ore deposit; in layered stripping, it is worth mentioning that the determination of the slope depth H2 needs to consider the morphology, occurrence and mining conditions of the ore body to ensure the safety and efficiency of mining. The slope a refers to the inclination of the slope. The size of the slope a directly affects the stripping ratio, mining efficiency and stability of the slope during the mining process. In layered stripping, by comparing and simulating the average stripping ratio and mining efficiency indicators under different slopes, the mining plan can be optimized and the mining efficiency can be improved. The slope length H1 refers to the slope length after the slope a is defined. The determination of the slope length H1 needs to consider the safety factor and stability requirements of the slope. In layered stripping, the slope length is usually defined based on the slope safety factor to ensure the stability of the slope during the mining process.
[0044] S32; comparative simulation, analyzing the average stripping ratio and mining efficiency index under different slopes a according to the data obtained in step 2; wherein the average stripping ratio and mining efficiency index obtained can refer to the comparative document announcement number: CN105275471B, a method for determining the mining boundary of an open-pit mine, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here;
[0045] This step visualizes and compares the collected data to intuitively construct the relationship between slope depth H2, slope a and slope length H1, as well as the average stripping ratio and mining efficiency index under different slopes a. This data exploration process helps to discover potential problems and optimization points in the successive mining process, providing strong data support for subsequent optimized mining.
[0046] Step 4: Model evaluation and verification;
[0047] S41; Conduct preliminary mining to verify the accuracy of the simulation by comparing the simulation results with the field monitoring data; for details, see Figure 2 , first conduct the first mining, and rely on the data obtained from the first mining to verify the accuracy of the comparative simulation;
[0048] S42; using the slope safety factor as a performance indicator, the higher the safety factor, the more stable the slope; the slope safety factor is calculated by the following formula: FS = F1 / F2;
[0049] Wherein FS is the slope safety factor; F1 is the anti-sliding force, which can be calculated based on the mechanical parameters of the soil and the geometric parameters of the slope; F2 is the sliding moment, which can be calculated by the number of soil stratifications and the external load limit equilibrium method; the minimum threshold of the slope safety factor is defined based on historical mining data; the above-mentioned F1 and F2 are commonly used calculation methods in the existing civil engineering and geological engineering fields, so they will not be repeated in this manual again.
[0050] S43; verifying the accuracy of the simulation results through on-site monitoring data to carry out phased mining; specifically, when the data obtained by the first mining is verified to match the simulation results, secondary mining is carried out. Preferably, when the secondary mining is carried out, S41 and S42 need to be carried out again to achieve the purpose of optimizing mining;
[0051] This step verifies the accuracy of the comparative simulation by conducting preliminary mining and comparing the simulation results with the on-site monitoring data. The completion of this step can ensure the reliability and practicality of the simulation results. At the same time, using the slope safety factor as a performance indicator can intuitively evaluate the stability of the slope and provide safety guarantees for subsequent mining work; verifying the accuracy of the simulation results through on-site monitoring data can also provide a scientific basis for phased mining.
[0052] Step 5, optimizing mining: according to the simulation results, mining is performed away from the side of the wellbore 1 to achieve the predetermined mining effect;
[0053] See also Figure 2-3 , when the secondary mining is carried out, the wellbore 1 is deepened, and the wellbore 1 can be reinforced by relying on the existing fixings; at the same time, during the secondary mining, mining is carried out along the node A toward the side of the wellbore 1, during which the first mining is layered 2, so that the layers in the secondary mining are gradually excavated, so as to maintain the slope a of the previous mining while deepening the depth of the previous mining, wherein the layer depth is agreed upon based on the construction period and equipment;
[0054] See also Figure 4 After completing the secondary mining, subsequent mining is carried out in the mining direction, and this process is repeated to form an independent step shape with a slope a after mining. The reason for the independent step shape is that the predetermined slope depth H2, slope a and slope length H1 may be different each time mining is carried out.
[0055] In this step, mining is performed away from the side of the wellbore 1 according to the simulation results to achieve the intended mining effect. Such an optimized mining method can avoid damage to the wellbore 1 and the surrounding area, ensuring the safety of mining. At the same time, by mining in batches and gradually deepening the wellbore 1, the ore body can be mined gradually and efficiently. During the mining process, the mining plan can also be adjusted and optimized according to the actual situation to achieve the best mining effect.
