DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] like Figures 1-6As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for replacing a segmented coal pillar with gangue filling by integrating underground mining, dressing and filling, which is applied to a coal mine. The parameters of the mine are as follows: the production capacity is 3 million tons / year, the length of the working face is L, the width of the segmented coal pillar is W, and the average thickness of the coal seam is H, which is 5 meters; the working face advances 5 times a day, each cut is 0.8 meters, the advancement speed x is 4 meters / day, the coal seam gangue content μ is 10%, and the coal density ρ is 1.4 tons / m 3 , the density of gangue ρ' is 1.8t / m 3 .
[0033] The following steps are involved:
[0034] S1: This embodiment illustrates three working faces in the initial stage of mining. The left side is the first working face 8, the middle is the second working face 9, and the right side is the third working face. Between the first and second working faces 8 and 9 is the first segmented coal pillar 7, and between the second and third working faces is the second segmented coal pillar 18. A transport chute and a return air chute are respectively established on the left and right sides of the segmented coal pillar. The transport chute extends from the transport uphill excavation face 1 to the mining boundary, and the return air chute extends from the return air uphill excavation face 3 to a point 10-15 meters below the bearing pressure zone of the working face.
[0035] It should be noted that in coal mining, transport uphill 1, track uphill 2 and return air uphill 3 are three inclined tunnels with different functions, each of which has different tasks:
[0036] Transport up the mountain 1
[0037] Uphill transport 1 refers to an inclined roadway used for transporting coal. It is typically equipped with a belt conveyor, hence the name "belt uphill transport." Its primary function is to transport coal from the mining area to the surface or other processing locations. Uphill transport 1 is arranged uphill, meaning it is excavated upward from the main transport roadway along the coal seam or rock stratum.
[0038] Tracks up the mountain 2
[0039] Track Uphill 2 is an inclined tunnel used to transport materials, equipment, and waste rock. It is equipped with tracks and primarily uses mine cars or electric locomotives for transportation. It not only transports materials but also serves as an auxiliary transport vehicle for transporting personnel and supplies. Track Uphill 2 also slopes upward from the transport level.
[0040] Back to the mountain 3
[0041] The return air uphill tunnel 3 is an inclined tunnel used for mine ventilation. Its primary function is to guide polluted air (air containing harmful substances such as gas and coal dust) within the mining area into the mine's main return air system. This ensures fresh air circulation within the mining area and provides a safe working environment for miners. The return air uphill tunnel 3 is also excavated upward from the main transport tunnel along the coal seam or rock stratum.
[0042] These three types of uphill tunnels are very important in the production system of coal mines. Together they ensure the efficient production and safe operation of coal mines.
[0043] Specifically, the first transport chute 4 and the first return air chute 5 are located on the left and right sides of the first working face 8, while the second transport chute 10 and the second return air chute 11 are located on the left and right sides of the second working face 9. The first transport chute 4 and the first return air chute 5 are connected by a chute connecting tunnel 6, which is located 10-15 meters below the supporting pressure zone of the working face. A movable belt conveyor is arranged in the chute connecting tunnel 6, while a belt conveyor is arranged in the first transport chute 4.
[0044] S2: Divide the coal pillar into multiple strips evenly along the length of the first transport chute 4, and number the strips A1, A2, A3 to A10 in sequence;
[0045] S3: Mining the first working face 8 and the first section coal pillar 7 simultaneously. Mining the even-numbered strips sequentially from the first return air chute 5 to the first transport chute 4, with the mining direction generally perpendicular to the length of the first transport chute 4. The mined coal is transferred by a loader to the chute connecting tunnel 6 and then to the movable conveyor, where it is discharged via the movable belt conveyor and the belt conveyor.
[0046] S4: Fill the even-numbered strips in order of numbering, using gangue filling slurry, which is transported from the return air chute to the strips. Not all strips are mined before filling. When the strip numbered A2 is mined, the chute connecting tunnel 6 is filled with gangue filling slurry to form a gangue filling retaining wall 16. At the same time, the strip numbered A4 is mined. At this time, the goaf of the strip numbered A2 is used as the new goaf connecting tunnel 6. Similarly, in the subsequent mining and filling process, when the strip numbered An is mined, the strip numbered An-2 is used as the new goaf connecting tunnel 6 and a movable belt conveyor is arranged to fill the strip numbered An-4. In steps S3 and S5, the mined strips form goafs, and anchor bolts and anchor cables are installed on the roof of the goaf, and anchor bolts are installed on both sides of the goaf.
[0047] S5: Mining the odd-numbered strips in order, with the mining direction from the return air chute to the transport chute. The mined coal is discharged via the movable belt conveyor and the belt conveyor;
[0048] S6: Fill the odd-numbered strips sequentially using gangue filling slurry, delivered to the strips via the return air chute. Each strip has a width y of 5m. The mining and filling rate y for the first section of coal pillar 7 is 5m / day. After compaction, the gangue filling retaining wall 16 forms a filling body 17, with a crushing expansion coefficient β of 0.05.
[0049] In steps S3 and S5, the coal mined from the first working face 8 and the first section coal pillar 7 is transported to the filling slurry preparation chamber 13 via the transport chute, the transport uphill 1 and the coal transport connecting tunnel 14. The filling slurry preparation chamber 13 sorts the coal into coarse carbon and gangue, and the coarse coal is transferred back to the transport uphill 1 for output through the coal connecting tunnel 15. The gangue is crushed to make gangue filling slurry, and the gangue filling slurry is transported to the strip through the gangue connecting tunnel 12, the return air uphill 3 and the return air chute by a grouting pump.
[0050] Numerical simulation is used to obtain the stress increase area during the mining of the second working face 9. When the coal gangue filling retaining wall 16 is fully compacted to form a filling body 17, and the filling body 17 closest to the transportation uphill 1 is 10-15m away from the stress increase area of the second working face 9, the mining and filling work of the second working face 9 and the second section coal pillar 18 is started.
[0051] Repeat the above steps until all working faces and sections of coal pillars are mined and filled. When the distance between the working face and the filling slurry preparation chamber 13 reaches 1000-1200m, a new filling slurry preparation chamber 13 can be established.
[0052] In the above steps, in order to ensure that the filling slurry preparation chamber 13 can prepare sufficient coal gangue filling slurry, various working parameters during mining should be limited. The following conditions must be met:
[0053] LHxμρ'+WHyμρ'>WHyρ'(1 / (1+β))
[0054] It can be obtained that L>13W; assuming that the width of the section coal pillar is designed to be 20m, the working face length is at least 260m; assuming that the actual production time of the mine is 330 days a year, 9,100 tons of coal must be produced every day. It can be calculated that the required working face length is 295m, which can meet the filling requirements.
[0055] According to the production capacity of the filling slurry preparation chamber 13, during the filling of a strip, the filling slurry preparation chamber 13 must be able to sort out the amount of gangue required for the next filling strip, that is, WHyρ' (1 / (1+β)), and the production capacity of the filling slurry preparation chamber 13 is at least 1029t / d.
[0056] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0057] The embodiments described above are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by persons skilled in the art should fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present invention.
