Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underground structures, and in particular to a device and method for releasing a shotcrete pressure relief buffer into a well. Background Art

[0002] The raw materials for mine grouting are mainly solid materials such as cement, gravel, sand, etc. At present, the methods of lowering ground solid materials into the mine mainly include lowering them through vertical holes, transporting them through inclined shafts, and using the original auxiliary transportation system of the mine. However, with the increase in production capacity of most mines, the existing lifting and transportation systems are close to saturation. Therefore, the ground solid material delivery is mostly transformed into setting vertical holes on the ground and vertically lowering the feeding holes to deliver the underground shotcrete solid materials.

[0003] However, solid materials such as cement, gravel, sand, etc. on the ground form a free fall motion after being lowered through the feeding hole. As the free fall distance increases, the speed of the material moving downward increases, resulting in a greater impact after falling to the bottom of the deep well, causing deformation, damage and other safety risks to the well bottom facilities and chambers. On the other hand, considering that the particle size of mine shotcrete materials is small and the feeding capacity is low, building a special material storage warehouse underground will cause a certain amount of waste, and the occupation of the material storage warehouse will cause slow operation of other links.

[0004] In the prior art, a plurality of buffering devices such as buffer pads are usually arranged at the bottom of the feeding hole to buffer the materials falling from the feeding well. However, the buffering devices such as buffer pads are easily damaged, and are troublesome to replace. Moreover, the materials cannot be transported immediately after buffering.

[0005] To this end, the present application designs a device and method for releasing a pressure relief buffer for underground shotcrete to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to make up for the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a pressure relief buffer device and method for underground grouting, which can effectively reduce the bottom impact force and air pressure caused by the vertical lowering of solid materials, and facilitate the timely transportation of solid materials below the feeding hole, and has a simple structure, safety and reliability.

[0007] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A pressure relief buffer device for underground grouting, characterized in that it comprises a hole bottom chamber, an inclined pressure relief steel plate, an energy storage and shock absorption device, a scraper conveyor, and a dust baffle. The hole bottom chamber is located below the feeding hole. The pressure relief steel plate is integrally installed on the energy storage and shock absorption device, and its high end corresponds to the outlet of the feeding hole. The energy storage and shock absorption device is fixed in the hole bottom chamber. The scraper conveyor is arranged obliquely below the lower end of the inclined pressure relief steel plate for receiving the filling material after buffering and pressure relief. The dust baffles are installed on both sides of the scraper conveyor to prevent the material from splashing everywhere.

[0008] Furthermore, the hole bottom chamber is located below the feeding hole, and the bottom is higher than the outer tunnel by a certain height difference, generally about 1 to 1.3 m. It serves as the initial receiving space for the shotcrete solid material, and a pressure relief buffer device is arranged inside for the vertical fall of the shotcrete solid material.

[0009] Furthermore, the inclined angle of the inclined pressure relief steel plate is 30° to 45°, and the surface thereof is covered with a wear-resistant buffer layer, and the wear-resistant buffer layer is made of rubber or polyurethane. A vertical baffle of the same material is installed at the high end of the inclined pressure relief steel plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the oblique-stayed pressure relief steel plate is a detachable steel plate, which is connected to the energy storage and shock absorption device below by a hinged or elastic connection method, allowing slight deformation to further disperse energy.

[0011] Furthermore, the energy storage and shock absorbing device includes: a fixed foundation fixed to the bottom of the chamber; a buffer base is connected to the fixed foundation through a rotating device, and the rotating device allows the buffer base to rotate slightly when subjected to force; buffer springs are evenly distributed between the buffer base and the rotating device, and are used to elastically absorb impact kinetic energy; a fixed bracket connects the buffer base and the oblique-stayed pressure relief steel plate to limit its displacement range.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating device is an articulated structure or a ball-type universal joint, and its maximum rotation angle is ±5°. It can rotate slightly when impacted by solid materials to avoid structural rigidity fracture and enhance adaptability.

[0013] Furthermore, dust baffles are installed on both sides of the scraper conveyor. The height of the dust baffles is 1.2 to 1.5 times the bandwidth of the scraper conveyor. The dust baffles are made of transparent polycarbonate or flexible polyurethane.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a pressure sensor, which is arranged at the bottom of the inclined pressure relief steel plate and the buffer base; a vibration monitoring module is arranged on the inner wall of the chamber at the bottom of the hole, for real-time monitoring of impact force and structural vibration data.

[0015] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for underground placement of shotcrete pressure relief and buffering, which is applied to the above-mentioned underground placement of shotcrete pressure relief and buffering device, and the method comprises the following steps: S1. The shotcrete solid material falls vertically through the feeding hole to the inclined pressure relief steel plate in the chamber at the bottom of the hole; S2. The impact force of solid materials is decomposed into horizontal and vertical components through the inclined pressure relief steel plate. The vertical component is dissipated through the spring compression and rotational displacement of the energy storage shock absorber; S3. The buffered material slides along the inclined pressure relief steel plate to the scraper conveyor. The end of the scraper conveyor is connected to the mine car bucket or belt conveyor in the outer tunnel, and the shotcrete solid material is directly transported to the shotcrete site under the protection of the dustproof baffle.

[0016] S4. Dynamically adjust the conveying rate of the scraper conveyor through feedback data from the pressure sensor and vibration monitoring module.

[0017] Furthermore, in S2, the energy dissipation efficiency of the energy storage and shock absorption device is ≥ 60%.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention provides a pressure relief buffer device and method for underground spraying material, which can effectively alleviate the large impact force and air pressure generated when the solid materials such as gravel and sand on the ground are placed at the bottom of the deep well through the feeding hole. The solid materials fall onto the pressure relief steel plate of the device. At this time, when the spring is compressed to the shortest under the impact force, the elastic potential energy is the largest, the kinetic energy of the solid materials is the smallest, and the kinetic energy is completely converted into elastic potential energy. Therefore, in this process, the energy conversion of materials such as gravel and sand is: gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy → elastic potential energy. Therefore, the spraying solid materials can achieve a great deceleration under the pressure relief buffering effect of the present device, and naturally flow to the scraper conveyor below, so that the materials can be immediately transported to the spraying required location after being received. In summary, the present invention solves the safety hazard problem caused by the high speed and large impact force of underground spraying materials when they are vertically placed underground, and can be combined with the underground transportation system to achieve solid material buffering and subsequent transportation after pressure relief, which has practical guiding significance for the placement of solid materials in deep well projects such as metal mines and coal mines.
