[0002] The open-pit coal mine of zoned mining has a problem of internal discharge balance during turning, that is, internal discharge is tight in the early stage, and the space of internal discharge is suddenly released in the late stage, which leads to problems such as insufficient utilization of internal discharge dump, increased occupation of external discharge, and difficult reclamation in the late stage.

[0003] During the production operation period under the adverse conditions of the open-pit mine currently turning from the first mining area to the second mining area, lagging in land acquisition, deepening of coal seams, and increasing of coal seam inclination, under the influence of these adverse conditions, the coal seam inclination in the southern first mining area and the second mining area is large, the slope is 10°-19°, and the working face gradually changes to a north-south advancing and transversely arranged (transverse mining) mode. During the advancing of the working face, there are problems such as difficulty in selecting and mining large equipment, large raw coal loss, low coal selection rate, and difficulty in exerting the efficiency of the equipment. After turning, the working line of the first mining area becomes shorter, the length of the transversely arranged working line is only 500-800 m, the length of the working line is shortened, the operation cycle of each link of production is accelerated, and the production of short working line, large depth, narrow working face, and fast advancing leads to problems such as difficulty in connecting each link of production, difficulty in exerting the efficiency of the equipment, reduction of exposed coal, and reduction of economic benefits of the open-pit mine. In addition, as the mining area is continuously advanced, the distance and the height difference will still have a trend of increasing, which leads to a sharp increase in the distance and the height difference of the open-pit mine during turning.

[0004] In view of the above problems, in order to reasonably deal with the problems encountered in the current production process, improve the economic benefits of the mine, and effectively reduce the production cost, it is necessary to carry out research on the layout of the working line and the reasonable planning of the dump, which aims to achieve the goals of ensuring the production connection of the open-pit mine, reducing the dumping distance, and improving the economic benefits through optimization of the mining procedure, adjustment of the working line layout, inclined base dumping, and expansion of the dump capacity.

[0017] The present application will be further described below in connection with the accompanying drawings and examples, and the modes of the present application include but are not limited to the following examples.

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application will be further described in detail below in connection with specific examples and with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front", "back", "left", "right", "up" and "down" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings. The terms "inner" and "outer" used refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a particular part.

[0019] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an intelligent turning method of an open-pit coal mine in a specific embodiment of the present application. The method comprises: (1) determining the coal mine turning advancing working line; According to the recent raw coal production scale, mining status, topographic and geological data, the relationship between the annual mining and dumping engineering quantity and the mining and dumping space during the coal mine turning period is analyzed, the internal drainage space deficiency during the pre-turning period is determined, the mining program is optimized, the northern super-short working line is forced, and the northern internal drainage is realized in advance.

[0020] For example, Figure 2As shown, by analyzing the relationship between the length of the strong push working line in the north, the stripping engineering quantity and the dumping space, an advanced scheme is proposed with F12 fault in 11 coal as the boundary to advance the first mining area in the north quickly, and to realize the boundary of the local whole, so as to realize the internal dumping in the north. The south is used to make up for the insufficient output in the north, and slowly pushes forward. After the boundary in the north is pushed, the turning horizontal mining into the second mining area is realized. The effective internal dumping space in the north is increased, and the tense situation of dumping space is relieved. The subsequent second mining area turns into the third mining area again.

[0021] (2) Establish a transport distance model to optimize the design of the working line; The stripping working line arrangement mode in the southeast of the first mining area is optimized, the working line calculation model in the southeast of the mine is established to calculate the transport distance of the mine, and the optimized scheme is obtained to save the transport distance and save the transportation cost, reduce the cost and increase the benefit.

[0022] As shown in Figure 3A , 3B , according to the working line arrangement combined with the triangular characteristics, the working face transport line is abstracted, the transport distance calculation model of the working face moving pit line under different working line arrangement conditions is established, and the transport distance calculation method of different working line arrangement is provided. According to the established working face moving pit line transport distance calculation model, combined with the material quantity of each flat disc stripping, the position of the dumping site, the transport line, the comprehensive transport distance of each scheme, the corresponding transportation cost, and the influence on the shovel arrangement are calculated, and finally the working line arrangement of the southeast direction is determined as the optimal scheme.

[0023] (3) Build a backfolding pseudo-inclination dumping; For the inclined floor dumping method, the north support type pseudo-inclined dumping is adopted to increase the west internal dumping site dumping capacity.

[0024] As shown in Figure 4 , when the open pit encounters the backfolding structure, the coal seam floor inclination increases sharply, and the dumping space is limited. The backfolding pseudo-inclination dumping method is optimized and designed. This dumping method uses the support force of the inclined floor and the end slope to form a stable triangular support structure by oblique dumping with the two slopes, and increases the stability of the dumping site combined with the groove after blasting the floor, so as to meet the dumping and solve the backfolding area dumping.

[0025] (4) Integrate adjacent mines to form a shared dumping site; Taking advantage of the south-north adjacent conditions of Anjialing Mine and Antaibao Mine, the adjacent mine area is coordinated to solve the dumping space.

[0026] From the perspective of open pit group, the dumping of each open pit is integrated, and the dumping sites of each mine in the mine group are planned uniformly. When a certain open pit in the mine group is insufficient due to special geological conditions and other objective factors, a dumping site sharing scheme is developed to make full use of the space resources within the scope of the mine group, such as Figure 5As shown, by utilizing the internal spoil heaps of adjacent mines for spoil disposal and constructing intermediate bridges connecting the spoil disposal area and the stripping area, the transportation distance can be shortened, thereby reducing the overall spoil disposal cost of the open-pit mine complex.

[0027] To address the challenges of uneven internal dumping, insufficient dumping space, and increased haulage distance and elevation differences during the turnaround period in open-pit mines, the project employed several key technical solutions during the turnaround period at the Anjialing open-pit mine. These solutions included a strong push along an ultra-short working line in the north, early implementation of the northern internal dumping mining procedure, optimization of the southeastern stripping working line, pseudo-inclined dumping with support on the north side, and coordinated dumping with adjacent mining areas. The project's application at the Anjialing open-pit mine successfully navigated the difficult turnaround period, generating direct economic benefits of 134.8539 million yuan. The research findings, applied to the Anjialing mine's production process, effectively mitigated insufficient dumping space during the turnaround, improved the stability of dumping at the inclined base of the anticline area, shortened the haulage distance for stripped materials, and reduced fuel and tire consumption, resulting in significant social benefits. Furthermore, it provides advanced experience for addressing insufficient dumping space in mines with similar conditions in the future.

[0028] The project generated economic benefits: 1. The accelerated implementation of the ultra-short working line in the north released 36 million cubic meters of waste disposal space ahead of schedule, shortening the disposal and transportation distance by 600 meters. The unit price for self-operated transportation was based on... Calculation. Cost savings in production: 10,000 yuan. 2. Through optimization of the stripping work line, the discharge and transportation distance was shortened by 90.68m. A total of 136 million m³ of stripped material was discharged through this area.

The pseudo-inclined spoil heap with north-side support increases the spoil heap space in the west inner spoil heap by 15 million cubic meters, shortens the spoil disposal distance by 1,600 meters, and saves production costs: 4. Coordinated waste disposal with adjacent mining areas increases waste disposal space by 40 million m³, shortens waste disposal and transportation distance by 620 meters, and saves production costs. 10,000 yuan.
