Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of mine mining, and in particular, to a method, device, and medium for determining the thickness of a crown pillar in an open stope subsequent filling mining method. Background Art

[0002] With the gradual reduction of shallow resources in China, the underground metal mine mining has gradually become the mainstream. Although the traditional caving method and open stope method have been widely used, they often lead to surface subsidence, environmental pollution, and safety hazards. Especially, a large amount of solid waste generated during the underground mining process requires land for disposal, and the stacking yard often becomes a major safety hazard.

[0003] In recent years, the filling mining method has become an important method for underground mining of metal mines due to its advantages such as safety and environmental protection. In particular, more than 60 mines in the iron mine field have implemented the filling method, and new designed mines generally conduct filling mining demonstration, gradually replacing the dominant position of the caving method.

[0004] The open stope subsequent filling method combines the advantages of the open stope method and the filling method and has been adopted by many large metal mines. In this method, the safety thickness of the crown pillar is a key factor in mine design. If the crown pillar is too thin, it may cause the collapse of the stope and surface subsidence, while if it is too thick, it will waste resources. Currently, the calculation of the crown pillar thickness mainly uses the analytical method. However, although the analytical method is simple and intuitive, the existing methods mostly target a single goaf and ignore the interaction effect between the filling body and the crown pillar in the open stope subsequent filling method. Therefore, the existing calculation methods have certain limitations and need to be further optimized to adapt to more complex mine mining conditions. Summary of the Invention

Apparently, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure described and illustrated herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0066] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0067] The term "and / or" in this article merely describes an associated relationship and indicates that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, both A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the term "at least one" in this article means any one of multiple types or any combination of at least two of multiple types. For example, including at least one of A, B, and C may represent including any one or more elements selected from the set composed of A, B, and C.

[0068] With the gradual depletion of shallow resources in China, more and more metal mines are adopting underground mining or transitioning from open-pit to underground mining, and the proportion of underground mining is gradually increasing. In the early days, caving method and open stoping method were mainly used in underground mining. These mining methods either caused large-scale surface subsidence and damaged surface buildings, farmland, roads, etc., or formed a large number of goafs, posing potential safety hazards to surrounding mine exploitation or land use. In addition, a large amount of land is needed to dispose of the solid waste generated by underground mining, and the solid waste yard is often a major accident hazard source and environmental pollution source. Due to its safety and environmental protection advantages, filling method mining has become an important or even the primary mining method for underground mining of metal mines. In the field of iron mines, according to incomplete statistics, more than 60 iron mines in China have implemented filling method mining, and newly designed underground mines, including open-pit to underground mines, basically need to carry out filling mining demonstration, completely breaking the dominant position of caving method in iron mines in the past. Among the filling mining methods, the open stoping with subsequent filling method is adopted by more and more large iron mines due to its advantages such as strong production capacity, high resource utilization rate, safe operation and good environmental protection benefits, such as Zhangzhuang Iron Mine and Lilou Iron Mine in Huoqiu area of Anhui Province, Macheng Iron Mine in Hebei Province, Chentaigou Iron Mine and Xianshan Iron Mine in Liaoning Province.

[0069] It has been found through research that the open stoping with subsequent filling method is developed on the basis of combining the original open stoping method and filling method. Its main body is the open stoping method, so the safety thickness of the crown pillar is an important parameter for mine design. On the one hand, if the crown pillar is set too thin, there will be potential safety hazards. Especially for mines in the Huoqiu area of Anhui Province under the thick Quaternary strata containing quicksand layer, if the crown pillar collapses, shaft flooding accidents will occur, and at the same time, surface subsidence will also be caused. On the other hand, if the crown pillar is set too thick, it will also cause a huge waste of mineral resources. The literature reports on the determination of the crown pillar safety thickness mainly focus on the boundary crown pillar in open-pit to underground mining, and secondly on the determination of the safety roof thickness of the goaf in underground to open-pit mining mines represented by Sandaozhuang Molybdenum Mine and Yuanjiacun Iron Mine. At present, the calculation of the crown pillar thickness mainly adopts the analytical method. However, although the analytical method is simple and intuitive, the existing methods mostly target single goafs and ignore the interaction effect between the filling body and the crown pillar in the open stoping with subsequent filling method. Therefore, the existing calculation methods have certain limitations and need to be further optimized to adapt to more complex mine exploitation conditions.

[0070] Based on the above research, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a method, device, and medium for determining the thickness of the crown pillar in the open stope subsequent filling mining method are provided. First, obtain the structural information of the mining stope; wherein, the structural information includes the mining stope area information and the mining stope area size information, and the mining stope area information includes the crown pillar, the filling body area, and the stope area. The crown pillar is located above the filling body area and the stope area, and the structure of the crown pillar includes a combined structure of elastic foundation beam - ordinary beam - elastic foundation beam; secondly, construct the target equation for the filling body area and the stope area and the constraint conditions for the target equation; finally, determine the thickness of the crown pillar based on the target equation, the constraint conditions, and the mining stope area size information.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the structural information of the mining stope is comprehensively considered, that is, the division and size information of the crown pillar, the filling body area, and the stope area, as well as the characteristics of the crown pillar as a combined structure of elastic foundation beam - ordinary beam - elastic foundation beam. By constructing the target equation for the filling body area and the stope area, setting the corresponding constraint conditions, and calculating the thickness of the crown pillar in the open stope subsequent filling mining method, the safety of the mining operation is effectively improved, the safety accidents that may be caused by improper crown pillar thickness are avoided, and the resource utilization rate is also optimized.

[0072] To facilitate the understanding of this embodiment, first, the execution subject of the method for determining the thickness of the crown pillar in the open stope subsequent filling mining method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is introduced in detail. The execution subject of the method for determining the thickness of the crown pillar in the open stope subsequent filling mining method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is a computer device. This computer device can be a server. Among them, the server can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud storage, big data, and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0073] The following will describe in detail the method for determining the thickness of the crown pillar in the open stope subsequent filling mining method provided by the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Refer to Figure 1 As shown, it is a flowchart of a method for determining the thickness of the crown pillar in the open stope subsequent filling mining method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The method includes the following S101 - S103:

[0074] S101, obtain the structural information of the mining stope.

[0075] It can be understood that in open-stope subsequent backfilling, production is generally organized with panels as the mining units, and panel pillars are set between panels. For steeply inclined thick ore bodies, the panel can be divided into a first-stage stope and a second-stage stope according to the mining sequence. The first-stage stope and the second-stage stope are arranged at intervals. The filling after the first-stage stope mining should provide a stable surrounding environment for the second-stage stope. Therefore, a cemented filling body with a certain strength is required. After the first-stage stope is filled and cured, it serves as the ore pillar during the mining of its adjacent second-stage stope. Here, the mining task of the first-stage stope is not considered temporarily in this disclosure. Instead, the part formed after the first-stage stope mining and reinforced by the strength cemented filling body is regarded as a part of the mining area of this disclosure. In this way, the filling body of the first-stage stope can be fully utilized as the support structure for the second-stage stope, reducing the risks and costs during subsequent mining processes.

[0076] Specifically, the structural information includes the mining area information and the mining area dimension information. The mining area information includes the division of different functional areas within the mining area, such as the crown pillar, the filling body area, and the stope area. Among them, the stope area specifically refers to the working area of the second-stage stope, which is the main target of this mining operation. The filling body area includes a first filling body area and a second filling body area, which are respectively distributed at both ends of the stope area, playing a role in support and buffering; the crown pillar is located above the filling body area and the stope area, and is one of the main support structures of the mining area. In this disclosure, the crown pillar is designed as a combined structure of elastic foundation beam - ordinary beam - elastic foundation beam, aiming to make full use of the mechanical properties of different materials to improve the bearing capacity and stability of the crown pillar. Specifically, the ordinary beam provides the main bearing capacity, and the elastic foundation beam can absorb and disperse the uneven settlement of the foundation, thereby further improving the overall stability of the crown pillar. For details, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, taking the mining area in the figure as an example, the mining area specifically includes a first filling body area A, a stope area B, a second filling body area C, and a crown pillar D; it also includes panel pillars E set between panels in the mining area.

[0077] Exemplarily, the mining area dimension information can include the filling body area information, the stope area information, and the crown pillar information. The filling body area information includes information such as the elastic modulus of the filling body in the filling body area, the length and width scales of the filling body area (the first filling body area and the second filling body area), etc.; the stope area information includes information such as the length and width scales of the stope area; the crown pillar information includes information such as the cross-sectional moment of inertia of the crown pillar and the load borne by the upper part of the crown pillar.

[0078] S102, construct the target equation regarding the filling body area and the stope area and the constraint conditions for the target equation.

[0079] It is understandable that for the top pillar of the analysis object panel area, a coordinate system is established with its center as the origin, the horizontal right direction as the x-axis, and the vertical downward direction as the y-axis. In this disclosure, taking the 5-stope panel symmetry model as an example, as Figure 3 shown, where the spans of the backfill area and the stope area are l 1 and l 2 respectively, the thickness of the top pillar is h, the load borne by the upper part of the top pillar is q, with the unit of MN / m, which can be determined comprehensively by the weight of the top pillar, overlying surcharge, accumulated water, etc.

[0080] Here, the target equation can be expressed as:

[0081]

[0082] where E represents the elastic modulus of the backfill in the backfill area; I represents the moment of inertia of the top pillar cross-section; k represents the subgrade reaction coefficient; w(x) represents the deflection at position x; represents the dimensional information of the first backfill area; l 2 represents the dimensional information of the stope area; q represents the load borne by the upper part of the top pillar; l 1 represents the dimensional information of the second backfill area.

[0083] Here, for the subgrade reaction coefficient k, this disclosure proposes that due to the large thickness of the backfill, according to the elastic half-space subgrade model, the bedding coefficient can be calculated according to the absolutely rigid foundation and a certain reduction is given to the backfill as:

[0084]

[0085] where b represents the unit width; μ represents the Poisson's ratio of the backfill; α represents the reduction coefficient of the bedding coefficient. In this disclosure, due to the limited width of the cemented backfill, the subgrade reaction coefficient at the edge is significantly lower than that at the middle part. Through finite element calculation, it can be known that the subgrade reaction coefficient at the edge is one-third of that at the middle part. Therefore, α can be taken as 2 / 3 in this disclosure.

[0086] Here, the objective function proposed in this disclosure is constructed for the panel of the second-step stope. For the panels of more stopes, the number of top pillars and the functions corresponding to different stope area ranges can be continuously increased, which will not be specifically limited here.

[0087] Exemplarily, according to the elastic foundation beam theory, the target equation is a fourth-order non-homogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients, and its solution is the superposition of the general solution of the homogeneous equation and the particular solution. Therefore, the first section of the top pillar is an elastic foundation beam, and its solution can be written as:

[0088] w 1 (x) = A 1 X 1+A 2 X 2 +A 3 X 3 +A 4 X 4 ;

[0089]

[0090] Among them, A 1 ~A 4 is the first undetermined integral constant of the top column;

[0091] Here, the second section of the top column is a common beam, and its solution can be written as:

[0092]

[0093] Among them, B 1 ~B 4 is the second undetermined integral constant of the top column.

[0094] Here, the third section of the top column is also an elastic foundation beam, which is the same as the first section of the top column, and its solution can be written as:

[0095] w 3 (x) = C 1 X 1 +C 2 X 2 +C 3 X 3 +C 4 X 4 ;

[0096] Among them, C 1 ~C 4 is the first undetermined integral constant of the top column.

[0097] It can be understood that according to the above formula, the first to third order derivatives of the deflection of the top column can be obtained. Since the first and third sections of the top column are both elastic foundation beams and have the same expression form, only the integrals of the first and second sections are written below.

[0098] Specifically, the first integral is:

[0099] w 1 ' = β[A 1 (X 1 +X 2 ) - A 2 (X 1 -X 2 ) - A 3 (X 3 -X 4)-A 4 (X 3 +X 4 )];

[0100]

[0101] The second-order integral is:

[0102] w 1 ”=2β(C 1 X 2 -C 2 X 1 -C 3 X 4 +C 4 X 3 );

[0103]

[0104] The third-order integral is:

[0105] w 1 ”'=2β 3 [-A 1 (X 1 -X 2 )-A 2 (X 1 +X 2 )+A 3 (X 3 +X 4 )-A 4 (X 3 -X 4 )];

[0106]

[0107] Here, the model of the top column is symmetric, and the rotation angle and shear force of the top column at the left end (x = 0) are zero; the right end of the top column is fixed-connected, and the corresponding deflection and rotation angle are both zero. Therefore, it can be written as:

[0108]

[0109] In addition, since the entire top column beam is a continuous beam, the segmented connection points must satisfy the continuity conditions, that is, the deflection, rotation angle, bending moment, and shear force of the beam are all equal. That is, the constraint conditions can be expressed as:

[0110]

[0111] Among them, w 1 represents the deflection at the position of the top column of the elastic foundation beam above the first backfill area; w 2Denoted as the deflection at the position of the ordinary beam top pillar in the upper part of the stope area; w 3 Denoted as the deflection at the position of the elastic foundation beam top pillar in the upper part of the second backfill area.

[0112] S103. Determine the thickness of the top pillar based on the objective equation, the constraint conditions, and the size information of the mining area.

[0113] It can be understood that the deflection of the top pillar can be obtained by solving the system of equations according to the first to third derivatives of the top pillar deflection and the constraint conditions.

[0114] Specifically, after obtaining the deflection of the top pillar, the value of the top pillar variable regarding the stope can be solved based on the deflection of the top pillar and the top pillar variable expression; among them, the top pillar variable expression includes the bending moment variable expression; the top pillar variable value includes the maximum bending moment value. The bending moment reflects the internal force acting on the structure during the bending process, and the maximum bending moment value can directly affect the bending resistance of the beam.

[0115] Among them, the bending moment variable expression can be expressed as:

[0116]

[0117] Among them, M(x) is denoted as the bending moment value at position x;

[0118] In some other embodiments, due to the complex geological conditions of the stope, the variable loads borne by the top pillar, and the differences in the material properties of the top pillar, these factors may all cause the top pillar to be affected not only by the bending moment but also by the rotation angle and shear force during the deformation process. Therefore, the top pillar variable expression can also include the rotation angle variable expression and the shear force variable expression. The rotation angle variable expression describes the change in the rotation angle of each point of the top pillar during the deformation process, while the shear force variable expression reflects the internal force acting on the top pillar during the shear deformation process.

[0119] Among them, the rotation angle variable expression can be expressed as:

[0120]

[0121] The shear force expression can be expressed as:

[0123] Here, when determining the thickness of the top pillar, the present disclosure first determines the thicknesses of multiple top pillars, and then solves according to the above formula to obtain the bending moments and the maximum cross-sectional normal stress distributions of top pillars with different thicknesses. It can be understood that the bending moment of the top pillar gradually increases with the increase of the thickness, but the cross-sectional normal stress gradually decreases in the second-step stope and gradually increases at the edge of the panel, and the increasing amplitude becomes smaller and smaller. In view of the fact that the proportion of the supporting force of the filling to resist deformation gradually decreases with the increase of the top pillar thickness, the maximum cross-sectional normal stress at this place will decrease after increasing to a certain value. Since the tensile strength of the rock mass is much smaller than the compressive strength, and according to the beam theory, the top pillar cross-section is more likely to undergo tensile failure, so the maximum tensile stress of the top pillar reaching the allowable tensile strength is taken as the failure condition. During the second-step mining of the panel, although the maximum stress is located at the end of the top pillar, the first-step stope has been filled at this time, so only the top pillar above the second-step stope is considered in this paper.

[0124] Here, the specific position of the maximum bending moment value is at the of the top pillar. After obtaining the compressive strength of the top pillar, taking the tensile strength of the top pillar rock mass as the allowable maximum stress, the safety thickness of the top pillar can be obtained by using the interpolation method. The specific thickness calculation formula can be expressed as:

[0125]

[0126] Among them, h represents the thickness of the top pillar; M represents the maximum bending moment value; σ represents the tensile strength of the top pillar.

[0127] Exemplarily, for a better understanding of this solution, the following takes an embodiment of the present disclosure as an example to elaborate on this solution in detail. The present disclosure takes the open-pit to underground mining of Xujia Gully Iron Mine in Panzhihua, Sichuan as an example to carry out the deformation and internal force analysis of the boundary crown pillar. Xujia Gully Iron Mine is 1.2 km long from north to south and 0.8 km wide from east to west. It is located beside the Jinsha River. There are a highway and a branch railway crossing the mining area on its north side and south side respectively. The highest bench elevation of the open-pit stope is 1340 m, the open-pit bottom elevation is between 1055 and 1065 m, the maximum slope height of the north slope of the stope is 141 m, the overall slope angle is 29.4°, and the bench slope angle is 35° - 72°. The maximum slope height of the west slope of the stope is 198 m, and the overall slope angle is 34.2°. The ore body consists of three ore bodies occurring in layers and near-layered adjacent and parallel to each other, with a total thickness of 64.97 - 115.05 m. The distance between each ore body ranges from 0 to 50 m, and the dip angle is 5 - 60°. The underground ore body is mined by the open stoping and subsequent backfilling method. It is designed to arrange a panel every 90 m perpendicular to the strike, and 5 stopes with a length of 15 m are arranged perpendicular to the ore body strike in each panel. The width of the panel pillar is also 15 m. The main surrounding rocks of the stope are ore, low-grade ore, and medium-grained gabbro. The uniaxial compressive strengths of the three rocks are 80.02 MPa, 74.81 MPa, and 71.81 MPa respectively. The rock mass quality index RMR is between 52.4 and 54.8, which are relatively close. According to the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the cemented filling body, the foundation coefficient k of the cemented filling body is calculated to be 681 MPa / m. The deformation and internal force of the boundary crown pillar of Xujia Gully Iron Mine are calculated based on the Python language and the symbolic calculation mathematics library Sympy.

[0128] When analyzing the calculation results, the present disclosure takes the crown pillar thickness of 10 m as an example to analyze the deformation and internal force of the crown pillar. The traditional calculation of the crown pillar deformation based on the beam and slab theory only analyzes the currently mined stope. For a stope with a width of 15 m, the maximum deflection of the crown pillar at the middle position of the stope is 0.051 mm; while considering the deformation of the filling body, the maximum deformation of the crown pillar is at the near-middle position of the second-step stope, which is 0.854 mm. Obviously, not considering the deformation of the filling body will significantly underestimate the deformation of the crown pillar. If the supporting effect of the filling body is completely not considered, the maximum deflection of the crown pillar of the entire panel occurs in the middle of the panel, which is 25.77 mm. Obviously, this is also unreasonable.

[0129] When the deformation of the cemented filling body is not considered, the bending moment distribution of the top pillar corresponding to the second-step stope is the same as that of the two stopes during the first-step mining. At this time, the maximum positive bending moment is on both sides of the stope, which is 5.91 MN·m, and the maximum negative bending moment is in the middle of the stope, which is -2.953 MN·m. When considering the deformation of the filling body, the increase in the bending moment on both sides of the second-step stope caused by the mining of the second-step stope is small, while the maximum negative bending moment in the middle of the stope is -10.2 MN·m. By superimposing the bending moments of the first-step mining and the second-step mining, it can be seen that the maximum bending moment occurs at the edge of the panel, which is 12.2 MN·m, and the absolute values of both the positive and negative bending moments are significantly higher than those without considering the deformation of the filling body.

[0130] For the case without considering the filling body, the deflection of the top pillar decreases exponentially with the increase of its thickness. When considering the filling body, the decrease amplitude of the deflection of the top pillar with the increase of the thickness of the top pillar is not obvious, and the position of the maximum deflection of the panel top pillar gradually moves from the second-step stope to the middle of the panel. The support provided by the filling body in the middle of the panel is higher than that on both sides. Therefore, appropriately improving the quality of the middle filling body can improve the stress condition of the top pillar. The bending moment of the top pillar gradually increases with the increase of the thickness, but the normal stress of the cross-section gradually decreases in the second-step stope and gradually increases at the edge of the panel, and the increasing amplitude becomes smaller and smaller. In view of the fact that the proportion of the supporting force of the filling to resist deformation gradually decreases with the increase of the thickness of the top pillar, the maximum normal stress of the cross-section will decrease after increasing to a certain value.

[0131] Regarding the determination of the safety thickness of the boundary top pillar, when studying the open-pit to underground mining of Xujia Gully Iron Mine in Panzhihua, Sichuan, the tensile strength of the top pillar rock mass is 0.8 MPa, and the safety factor is taken as 2, that is, the allowable tensile strength of the top pillar is taken as 0.4 MPa. The safety thickness of the boundary top pillar is obtained by interpolation method as 27.3 m. At this time, the maximum tensile stress of the top pillar in the second-step stope is located on the lower surface at the position of x = 12.38 m of the top pillar. As a comparison, if the filling body is regarded as bedrock, that is, the deformation of the filling body is not considered, the safety thickness of the top pillar can be obtained as 8.86 m. In this way, it can be shown that when considering the deformation of the filling body, the required safety thickness of the boundary top pillar increases significantly, indicating that the deformation of the filling body has an important impact on the stability of the top pillar, and the filling body cannot be simply regarded as rigid bedrock for treatment.

[0132] The method, device and medium for determining the thickness of the top pillar of the open stoping with subsequent filling mining method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure comprehensively consider the structural information of the mining field, that is, the division and size information of the top pillar, the filling body area and the stope area, and the characteristics of the top pillar as a combined structure of elastic foundation beam - ordinary beam - elastic foundation beam. By constructing the target equation about the filling body area and the stope area, setting the corresponding constraint conditions, and calculating the thickness of the top pillar in the open stoping with subsequent filling mining method, the safety of the mining operation is effectively improved, the safety accidents that may be caused by inappropriate thickness of the top pillar are avoided, and the resource utilization rate is optimized.
