Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of prospecting equipment, in particular to a sampling device for roadway rock analysis and a sampling method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of mineral resources, the mining of complex and difficult ore bodies (such as composite ore bodies, thin layer ore bodies, and irregular ore bodies) has become a key challenge in mining engineering. Such ore bodies have irregular shapes, large thickness variations, and complex geological structures, making it difficult for traditional single mining methods to meet the needs of safe and efficient mining. Therefore, collaborative mining techniques (such as the coordination of multiple mining methods, the reconstruction of mining environments, and the collaborative treatment of mined-out areas) have been proposed and have become an important research direction. In collaborative mining, accurately determining the lithology, hardness, and structural characteristics of the roadway roof rock is a prerequisite for designing mining methods, optimizing support parameters, and preventing roof accidents.

[0003] Currently, roadway roof rock sampling mainly relies on traditional drilling technology: a drill rig is used to drill upward to obtain a core, and when the core tube is full or the predetermined footage is reached, the entire drill rod must be removed from the ground, and the sample must be manually removed from the core tube. This method has obvious defects: 1. Low efficiency and high labor intensity: each sampling requires repeated drilling and rod removal, which is time-consuming and inconvenient, especially in narrow roadway spaces; 2. Unable to obtain real-time lithology parameters: traditional methods can only obtain samples, but cannot simultaneously detect rock hardness and other mechanical properties during sampling, making it difficult to guide on-site production decisions in real time. In the prior art, some rock layer sampling devices (such as the tunnel rock drilling and sampling device of application number CN115929240A) have been developed, but they are mainly designed for ground or horizontal drilling, and lack real-time lithology analysis functions.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a special device for roadway roof rock sampling that can achieve efficient, safe, and automated sampling while simultaneously obtaining lithology mechanical data to support the design and safety control of complex ore body collaborative mining. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the existing defects and provide a sampling device for roadway rock analysis and a sampling method that can achieve rapid and safe collection of roadway roof rock samples without the need to remove the drill rod for coring. Moreover, the device can simultaneously complete preliminary rock hardness determination during the sampling process, providing immediate data support for mining method selection and support design, and effectively solving the problems in the background art.

This makes up for the hysteresis of the traditional method that needs to send the sample to the laboratory to obtain the mechanical parameters.
