This invention also relates to a method for measuring the residual fragmentation coefficient of rock blocks in the post-mining caving zone of a coal seam. Background Technology
[0002] During coal mining, the morphology, lithology, and thickness of the collapsed rock mass in the goaf are key factors affecting the subsidence of the overburden. Currently, the measurement of the rock fragmentation coefficient is mostly limited to laboratory settings and experimental equipment to measure rock samples. However, laboratory measurements cannot accurately reflect the collapse morphology, gradation, composition, and contact form of the rock mass in the goaf, resulting in significant errors between the measurement results and the actual situation. These errors will cause huge inaccuracies in the prediction of surface subsidence and delamination grouting. Summary of the Invention

Rock mechanics testing is used to obtain the compressive, tensile, and unit weight parameters of the rock. Based on this, the compositional and gradation characteristics of the collapsed rock mass in the goaf are calculated. The load above the collapsed rock mass is calculated using key layer theory. Finally, the above data guides the parameter settings of the subsequent servo universal testing machine, ultimately calculating the residual fragmentation coefficient of the collapsed rock blocks in the goaf. This fully considers the collapse morphology, compositional characteristics, and gradation characteristics of the collapsed rock blocks in the goaf, resulting in calculation results that are more realistic and solve the problems of high cost, high difficulty, and large errors in obtaining the residual fragmentation coefficient in the past.

[0046] Example 3: Method for determining the residual fragmentation coefficient of rock blocks in the post-mining caving zone of coal seams: The stratigraphic and mechanical parameter data of a mine in Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi were selected for modeling and calculation, as shown in Table 3.
[0047] Table 3 Parameter Calculation Table
[0048] Step 1: Calculate the development height of the caving zone: First, collect coal seam thickness data of the working face. The coal seam thickness of a certain working face in Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi is 6m. The empirical formula calculates the caving zone height to be 24m. The "three-under" standard calculates the caving zone height to be 11.3m. The actual measured caving zone height is 30m. The maximum calculated value of 30m is taken as the caving zone height. Calculate the similarity ratio: The height of test cylinder 5 is 0.3m, the height of the collapse zone is 30m, and the similarity ratio is 1:100.
[0049] Step 2: Core drilling is carried out from the working face roadway to the working face. The calculated height of the caving zone is 30m, and the final hole position is 30m above the coal seam roof. During drilling, the lithology and thickness of the core samples were recorded, see Table 4.
[0050] Table 4. Overview of Lithology and Thickness within the Collapse Zone
[0051] Calculate the thickness of the rock layers in test chamber 5: With a similarity ratio of 1:100, the thicknesses of each rock layer in test chamber 5 are 0.05m, 0.05m, 0.06m, 0.06m, and 0.08m, as shown in Table 5. Table 5. Summary of simulated rock layer thicknesses in the model
[0052] Step 3: Calculate the composition and gradation characteristics of the rock strata within the caving zone, and calculate the length and width of the rock block in test cylinder 5. The composition characteristics of the rock strata within the caving zone are: sandy mudstone: medium sandstone: sandy mudstone: coarse sandstone: fine sandstone = 5:5:6:6:8. Gradation characteristics of rock strata within the caving zone: Calculate the breaking moment of each rock stratum (see Table 6). The ratio of sandy mudstone: medium sandstone: sandy mudstone: coarse sandstone: fine sandstone is 30:22:33:22:36. Calculate the length-to-thickness ratio of each rock stratum and use this to calculate the length of the rock strata within the caving zone in the model. The width is the same as the length. Calculate the length and width l of each rock block within test cylinder 5. n '; Table 6 Calculation results of fracture distance
[0053] Step 4: Calculate the upper load of the rock block in the caving zone. The upper load of the rock block in the caving zone is 0.09 MPa. Table 7 Parameter Summary Table
[0054] Step 5: The dimensions of test cylinder 5 are 0.3m. 0.3m If the height is 0.3m, then the volume of the collapsed rock block is V = 0.027m³. 3 Core samples from the roof collapse zone were prepared into multiple rock strata blocks 6 and sequentially filled into the test cylinder 5. The first hydraulic system 3 was activated via the operating instrument 2 to maintain the initial pressure of the upper pressure head 4. The initial pressure was determined based on the density and thickness of the rock strata above the collapse zone, and was 1.135 MPa. The sliding plate 8 was pulled outwards, causing the slider 7 to descend under its own weight and the pressure of the upper rock strata blocks 6. The end height of the sliding plate 8 was 0.6 m to simulate coal seam mining. After the sliding plate 8 reached its end, it was left to stand for 20 minutes. The pressure of the upper pressure head 4 was then adjusted to compress the collapsed rock sample, with a pressure of 0.09 MPa maintained for 20 minutes. Once the upper pressure head 4 stopped moving downwards, the total volume of the rock strata block was recorded as V' = 0.028. The residual fragmentation coefficient of the collapse zone was then determined. Kρ =1.04.
