[0002] The mining damage and ecological environment problems caused by coal mining are related to strata movement, and clarifying the evolution characteristics of the overburden bearing structure is one of the methods to improve the strata control effect. The surface of the valley strata is irregular, and when the surface valley development depth is large, the loose layer and part of the bedrock are easily eroded and present a missing state, that is, a thickness differentiation strata is generated. Compared with the conventional shallow coal seam mining under the horizontal surface, the morphological evolution and bearing structure characteristics of the overburden strata in the shallow coal seam under the valley topography are more complex, and are more likely to cause problems such as dynamic load mining pressure, mining cracks and surface subsidence.

The existing strata structure stability only analyzes the uniform thickness key layer, and only studies the uphill mining and downhill mining of the working face, without considering the whole process of the working face mining in the valley topography. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for evaluating the stability of the overburden strata in the shallow coal seam in the valley topography, to establish a stability mechanical model of the thickness differentiation key block in different regions according to the geological and mining conditions, and to realize the stability evaluation of the thickness differentiation strata structure in the shallow coal seam mining based on the statics equilibrium equation.

[0054] In combination with all the technical solutions described above, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0055] Firstly, the present application obtains the stratum distribution features of the overburden rock of the working face by collecting the boreholes near the working face, obtains the basic mechanical parameters of the rock through rock mechanics experiments, discriminates the key layer position according to the key layer position discrimination condition based on the key layer theory analysis, obtains the basic information of the thickness differentiation key layer, establishes the stability mechanical model of the thickness differentiation key layer in different regions, obtains the rotation instability and sliding instability criteria of the thickness differentiation key layer in different regions, and determines the stress peak value and stress influence range of the coal and rock strata subjected to mining stress.

The stability analysis can estimate the maximum value and dynamic change of the instability load, guide the scientific selection, avoid excessive prevention and control, and reduce the prevention and control cost. The thickness differentiation key layer stability analysis is currently mainly through the method of theoretical analysis, and the existing theory only considers one situation, and idealizes the key block according to the equal thickness and length, and the result deviates from the engineering practice.

The existing rock structure stability only analyzes the uniform thickness key layer, and only studies the uphill mining and downhill mining of the working face, without considering the whole process of the working face mining in the valley topography. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a kind of overburden rock stability evaluation method for the shallow coal seam mining in the valley topography, establish a stability mechanical model of the thickness differentiation key block under different loads according to the geological and mining conditions, and realize the stability evaluation of the thickness differentiation rock structure in the shallow coal seam mining based on the statics equilibrium equation.
[0059] Fifthly, the shallow coal seam over the different regions of the valley topography strata sliding instability and rotation deformation instability criterion determination method and system can realize the discrimination of the instability type of the thickness differentiation key block. On the one hand, the application discriminates according to the different geological conditions in different regions of the shallow coal seam, and can more accurately identify the most likely instability type and its critical condition at different positions. The dominant control factors of different regions and different instability modes are determined, which provides a theoretical basis for targeted prevention and control. On the other hand, the working face and roadway layout can be optimized according to the prediction of the criterion, and the support selection is reasonable, and more targeted safety technical measures and emergency plans are developed, thereby reducing the probability of accidents. The existing rock structure stability only analyzes the uniform thickness key layer, and only studies the uphill mining and downhill mining of the working face, without considering the whole process of the working face mining in the valley topography. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a kind of overburden rock stability evaluation method for the shallow coal seam mining in the valley topography, establish a stability mechanical model of the thickness differentiation key block under different loads according to the geological and mining conditions, and realize the stability evaluation of the thickness differentiation rock structure in the shallow coal seam mining based on the statics equilibrium equation.

Figure 6 、 Figure 8 , Figure 10 The diagram shows that, overall, to prevent the critical block from undergoing rotational deformation and instability, the angle of rotation of the critical block must be adjusted accordingly. θ The increase of its fracture strength i The thickness difference gradually increases, and when the corners are the same, the greater the thickness difference after the two thickness-differentiated key blocks, the greater the fracture strength. i The larger the thickness difference, meaning the smaller the difference in critical layer thickness under the same conditions, the easier it is for rollover deformation instability to occur. The calculation results of this invention are less prone to slippage instability than traditional calculations for uniform-thickness critical blocks. It also clarifies the relationship between thickness difference and the ease of rollover deformation instability.
[0119] 2. A numerical simulation model with a length of 1600m and a width of 350m was established using numerical simulation software. Based on the key layer theory, the key layers in the model were divided into longitudinal joints, and soft rocks were divided into horizontal and longitudinal joints. Thiessen polygons were used to simulate Quaternary aeolian sand. An elastoplastic model was adopted for the rock strata contact surfaces in the numerical model, and the constitutive relation conformed to the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion. Horizontal displacement constraints were applied to the left and right boundaries of the model, and vertical displacement constraints were applied to the bottom of the model. The working face was divided into three mining stages along the advance direction: Valley 1, Valley 2, and Valley 3. The advance length of each mining stage was 500m, and the mining step distance was 20m. Displacement and stress monitoring points were arranged in each key layer. To reduce the boundary effect during model mining, 30m coal pillars were left on both the left and right boundaries of the model. To reduce the mutual influence between mining sections, 20m coal pillars were left between mining sections. The mechanical parameters of each rock stratum are shown in Table 1. The evolution of the key blocks with different thicknesses of the main key layers in different regions is shown in Table 1. Figure 11-13 As shown, the key blocks of different thicknesses in different regions did not show obvious slippage or instability; only some of them rotated.
