Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gob-side lane retaining in coal mine pillarless mining and coal mine lane support, and in particular to a method for quickly installing flexible filling bags in a gob-side lane retaining in a large mining height working face. Background Art

[0002] Many coal-producing countries around the world have adopted gob-side entry retention technology to reduce tunneling volume, increase coal production continuity, and improve mine economic efficiency. The United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Russia, and China are among the countries most frequently using this technology. With my country's rapid economic development, coal demand and production capacity have grown rapidly. While my country boasts abundant coal resources, the occurrence conditions are highly complex. Over 95% of coal production is produced through underground mining. Underground mining requires the excavation of numerous underground tunnels. According to statistics, as of the end of 2020, my country's total annual tunneling progress reached approximately 15,000 km, of which mining tunnels accounted for over 70%. Most mining tunnels have long been maintained using a protective coal pillar system: a narrow 5-10 meter pillar or a 15-30 meter wide pillar is left between the working face. This prevents air leakage between the working face and the adjacent goaf, which could cause spontaneous combustion in the goaf, while also addressing the impact of mine pressure at the working face.

[0003] The reserved protective coal pillars have caused a large amount of coal loss. The retention of the protective coal pillars not only leads to problems such as reduced coal recovery rate and difficulty in tunnel maintenance, but also the wider section of the coal pillars will form a stress concentration area after the working face is mined, making it difficult to maintain the bottom rock tunnel and the lower coal mining tunnel arranged below the coal pillars, and sometimes even leading to the dynamic phenomenon of coal and gas outburst.

[0004] In this context, as the country vigorously promotes green coal mining, the technology of gob-side entry retention with no-pillar mining has been valued and introduced by more and more coal mining companies. Currently, the method of gob-side entry retention with side filling is widely used in my country. This method is applied to flexible filling bags. For large mining height working faces, the flexible filling bags are relatively large in height and width. Traditional flexible filling bag installation has the following problems: 1. External anchor bolts are required, the operating space is limited, the efficiency is low, and there are risks of high-altitude operations; 2. Personnel cannot enter the flexible filling bag to work, and the positioning accuracy of the tension anchor is poor, which can easily lead to uneven force on the filling body; 3. The lack of a construction platform makes it difficult for multiple people to work together, which prolongs the time for hanging flexible filling bags. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the above-mentioned technical deficiencies, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for quickly installing flexible filling bags along the goaf of a large mining height working face. The method is suitable for the rapid installation of flexible filling bags in the goaf-retaining process of filling the goaf alongside the goaf of a large mining height working face with a mining height greater than 4m.
