Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal mine mining technology, specifically to a method for controlling surface fracturing of top coal in a 10-million-ton intelligent fully mechanized longwall mining face. Background Technology
[0002] The mining of extra-thick coal seams is the main channel for ensuring coal supply. In extra-thick coal seam production bases, large-scale intelligent fully mechanized longwall mining has resulted in several mines with a capacity of tens of millions of tons. In these mines, the working face output can reach tens of millions of tons. However, due to incomplete coal flow balance and roof coal pressure, the recovery rate is low, resulting in significant coal resource losses. Therefore, in extra-thick coal seam production bases with a capacity of tens of millions of tons, coal flow balance and roof coal pressure are the main problems hindering working face production. Solving the problem of roof coal control and caving in intelligent fully mechanized longwall mining faces with a capacity of tens of millions of tons has become a key challenge in the mining of extra-thick coal seams.
[0003] Coal flow balance and top coal pressure regulation are key technical challenges in achieving efficient coal recovery in intelligent longwall mining faces with a capacity of tens of millions of tons. Surface fracturing to regulate coal flow balance and top coal pressure offers the advantage of being unrestricted by underground mining conditions, enabling real-time regulation of the top coal in intelligent longwall mining faces and optimizing the spatiotemporal system of top coal regulation. Based on the characteristics and stress distribution of the coal seam, surface fracturing forces intervene in the top coal descent, using intelligent decision-making to regulate top coal recovery through surface fracturing, increasing the top coal recovery rate, reducing coal loss, ensuring safe, efficient, and intelligent mining of the coal seam, and solving the key problem of top coal recovery in intelligent longwall mining faces with a capacity of tens of millions of tons. Therefore, providing a surface fracturing regulation method for the top coal in intelligent longwall mining faces with a capacity of tens of millions of tons is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0086] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, a 10-million-ton intelligent fully mechanized longwall face in a certain mining area is taken as an example. The main coal seam of this mine is an extra-thick coal seam with a thickness of 10m, a hardness of 0.7, and a coal gangue density of 1800kg / m³. 3 To improve coal mining efficiency and increase coal recovery rate, intelligent coal discharge and surface fracturing technology are used to regulate coal flow and top coal pressure. The steps are as follows:
[0087] S1. Analyze the initial state of the coal seam and top coal to establish the relationship between the coal seam's bearing capacity and pressure. In this embodiment, the coal seam thickness H = 10m, the coal seam hardness μ = 0.7, and the coal gangue density ρ... c=1800kg / m 3 The initial pressure of the coal seam is σ0 = 5 MPa, and the boundary pressure of the coal seam is σ boundary =5MPa; Coal seam diffusion coefficient α = 0.5m 2 / s; External pressure source term f = 1000MPa / s.

[0100] ΔP adjust =1.5 × 0.2 = 0.3 MPa
[0101] By adjusting the system feedback, the stress of the top coal increases by 0.3 MPa, which can ensure the control of the top coal.
[0102] S7. During the process of regulating coal flow and top coal pressure, a coupling relationship between coal flow and top coal is established. In this embodiment, at time T = 10s, the coal flow is subjected to force F. 煤流 =3000N, coal flow area A 煤流 =20m 2 The top coal is subjected to force F 顶煤 =3750N, top coal bearing area A 顶煤 =25m 2 This aligns with the coupling relationship between coal flow and top coal:
[0103]
[0104] S8. Verify the effectiveness of the model through numerical simulation and adjust the parameters according to the actual situation. The numerical model yields the distribution of coal flow. Differential relationships are used to simulate the coal flow at the working face. Given the known coal flow velocity and density, the spatial distribution of the coal flow is obtained.
[0105]
[0106] Simulation results show that the coal flow is relatively uniformly distributed at the working face, and the coal flow density and velocity remain within a certain range.
[0107] The fracturing process on the ground was simulated using cumulative relationships, and the change of fracturing pressure over time was obtained:
[0108]
[0109] By accumulating numerical data, the change in fracturing pressure over time is obtained, ensuring that the fracturing pressure is not too high and avoiding excessive impact on the top coal.
