[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of open-pit coal mining and transportation system, in particular to a layout method of a continuous coal mining system based on a backfilling deep buried channel. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most open-pit coal mining and transportation systems use single-bucket-truck intermittent process, which has good flexibility, but also has problems of high energy consumption, serious pollution and high labor cost. The economic transport distance of truck transportation intermittent process is generally 3-4 km. With the increasing depth of open-pit coal mining, the truck return distance increases year by year. When the coal mining distance is more than 5 km, the economic rationality of single-bucket-truck intermittent process has no advantage. Truck transportation also affects the progress of releasing internal discharge space. Iterative upgrading of open-pit coal mining system by replacing intermittent process with continuous process is one of the fundamental ways to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0006] Further, a belt conveyor is laid in the original rock inclined shaft, and the belt conveyor is connected with the ground production system after leaving the inclined shaft.

[0007] Further, the formation process of the backfilling deep buried channel is as follows: the internal discharge operation is gradually advanced from one side to the other side of the pit bottom, and after completing a section, a backfilling deep buried channel corresponding to the section is installed, and immediately after the installation is completed, backfilling operation is performed above it, and the backfilling material comes from the stripping material of the internal discharge site; the backfilling process is layered and compacted, and the formation is gradually built up as the internal discharge advances.

[0008] Further, the backfilling deep buried channel has a filling height of not more than 300 m.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the following description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7 The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0014] When the overall coal transport distance in the lower part of the mining area increases to more than 5km, this embodiment adopts a layout combining continuous mining technology with belt conveyor transportation. In the initial stage of mining, the original rock transport inclined roadway 5 is used to transport raw coal. As the working face advances and the internal spoil heap 4 is formed, a backfilled deep-buried channel 6 is formed at the bottom of the pit. Belt conveyors are deployed in the backfilled deep-buried channel 6 and connected to the belt conveyors in the inclined roadway to transport the raw coal from the pit to the surface production system.

[0015] When the total coal transportation distance exceeds 5km, the original intermittent truck mining process is no longer suitable, and continuous coal mining technology should be adopted.

[0016] Based on factors such as the thickness, dip angle, hardness, gangue content, and geological conditions of the coal seam, select suitable continuous coal mining equipment.

[0017] After calculating and verifying factors and conditions such as the width of the mining zone, the mining height, and the minimum working level of the continuous mining process, the continuous mining equipment transfers the raw coal to the belt conveyor.

[0018] Based on factors such as the location of the continuous equipment working face, the layout of the internal spoil heap steps, the location of the ground production system interface, and the existing conditions of the above-ground structures, the optimal route layout scheme for the belt conveyor is determined.

[0019] In the initial stage of mining, based on the working face location of the continuous mining equipment, an inclined haulage roadway for transporting original rock is set up along the working face. Belt conveyors are installed in the inclined haulage roadway and connect with the surface production system after exiting the inclined haulage roadway.

[0020] As the working face advances, a backfill-type deep-buried tunnel is laid at the bottom of the pit. In this embodiment, the backfill-type deep-buried tunnel can be understood as a structure with a certain cross-sectional space designed to accommodate linear engineering projects such as belt conveyors and roads. This application does not specifically limit the specific structure of the backfill-type deep-buried tunnel; the provided structure is for reference only. Users can use other tunnels that can be laid out in sections according to their actual needs. The backfill-type deep-buried tunnel in this embodiment includes multiple vertical oval-shaped cross-section tunnel units continuously spliced ​​along the tunnel axis. Each vertical oval-shaped cross-section tunnel unit includes longitudinally equidistantly arranged arc-shaped H-shaped steel frames 1. A three-dimensional steel mesh 2 is tied to the outside of the arc-shaped H-shaped steel frames, and a steel-concrete composite structure is formed by pouring a high-strength concrete layer 3.

[0021] In this embodiment, the tunnel is gradually constructed as the internal dumping progresses. Considering the spatiotemporal effects of the end walls, working walls, and internal dumping, the tunnel construction is completed before internal dumping backfilling. This embodiment employs a segmented backfill-type deep-buried tunnel. The backfill-type deep-buried tunnel is gradually laid out as the working face advances. For example, after a certain space is initially formed at the bottom of the open-pit mine, the axial position and starting point of the backfill-type deep-buried tunnel are determined according to the direction of the internal dumping site's advancement and the planned path of the belt conveyor. The internal dumping operation progresses gradually from one side of the pit bottom to the other. After each section is completed, the corresponding backfill-type deep-buried tunnel is installed. Backfilling is immediately carried out on top of the tunnel after installation, using stripped material from the internal dumping site. During backfilling, layered compaction is required to ensure the density of the backfill soil and prevent subsequent settlement from damaging the tunnel structure. Within the backfilled tunnel sections, a belt conveyor system is gradually installed and connected to the previously constructed inclined tunnel belt conveyor to form a continuous raw coal transportation tunnel. When the internal spoil heap is advanced to the terminal position, the backfill channel is also closed at the same time, forming a complete, continuous and closed raw coal transportation channel from the bottom of the pit to the surface production system. At the same time, auxiliary systems such as ventilation, drainage and monitoring are also installed inside the channel.

[0022] Due to the need for soil removal in the later stages, the backfill soil above the deep-buried tunnel can reach more than 300m. This ultra-high backfill soil exerts a great earth pressure on the tunnel structure, which can be improved by reducing the load and increasing the structural resistance.

[0023] The method in this embodiment uses the stripped material from the internal spoil disposal site as backfill material, which reduces the cost of external spoil disposal and realizes resource recycling; it avoids the cost and time loss caused by frequent relocation of the end-belt conveyor and improves the continuity and stability of the system.

[0024] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
