In order to maximize the exploitation of coal resources and improve the recovery rate of coal resources, it is necessary to further study the recovery of the remaining coal pillar as an effective method to improve the recovery rate of coal resources and extend the service life of the mine.

[0003] The industrial square coal pillar is the largest protective coal pillar left over from the design during the construction period of the general mine. However, when the industrial square coal pillar is mined using conventional mining technology, the mining stress will affect the shaft and the industrial square, thereby causing damage to the shaft and the surface buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to study a method for mining the coal pillar between the shaft and the industrial square to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0025] Further, in the step S4, when the shaft is monitored on the ground surface, the monitoring is performed by a mobile observation station arranged on the ground surface.

[0026] Further, in the step S4, when the shaft wall deformation is monitored, the shaft wall offset is measured by a laser beam method or an inclinometer method; and the shaft wall deformation is measured by a strain gauge or a strain meter.

[0027] Further, in the step S5, the protection of the shaft includes shaft wall protection and arch protection.

[0028] Further, the shaft wall protection is: replacing the rigid shaft wall at the stress concentration position or the damaged position of the shaft wall with a collapsible shaft wall.

[0029] Further, the tank channel protection is that the tank channel beam is cut and connected by sliding clamps, so that the tank channel beam realizes the effect of expansion and contraction.
