[0014] Therefore, during the mining of the previous working face, the roadway of the previous working face is used to carry out the construction and treatment project of the coal body of the next working face.

This will reduce the amount of bulging of the sidewall and floor, and control the deformation of the surrounding rock. This avoids the problem of the roof rock rotating after the roadway of the next working face is excavated, which would cause large deformation of the roadway of the next working face.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Various examples are provided by way of explanation and not by way of limitation. In fact, those skilled in the art will understand that modifications and variations can be made to the present application without departing from the scope or spirit of the present application. For example, a feature shown or described as part of one embodiment may be used in another embodiment to produce yet another embodiment. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0017] After the previous working face was mined out, the roof fractured and collapsed. The basic roof strata (rock block A) above the goaf subsided to the top of the goaf gangue. Due to the hardness of the coal seam, the coal seam in the next working face could form a stable whole. The rock block above the roadway (rock block B) was supported by the coal seam and did not fracture or rotate. Figure 1 As shown.
[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, after the next working face roadway is excavated, the integrity of the coal body is destroyed, the supporting effect weakens, rock block B rotates until it hits the rock. At this time, the section coal pillar is subjected to increased stress, the coal body is compressed, the roadway goaf side bulges out, the roadway solid side is subjected to increased stress and transmits the force to the floor, causing the floor to bulge out. This is the main reason for the large deformation of the surrounding rock in the roadway along the goaf of hard coal seams.
[0019] To address the issue of large deformation of the surrounding rock in roadways along hard coal seams, the current approach involves leaving wide coal pillars, leading to a significant waste of coal resources. Therefore, this embodiment provides a method for controlling the deformation of the surrounding rock in roadways along hard coal seams, specifically for controlling the deformation of the surrounding rock in these roadways. Firstly, in this embodiment, "lateral" refers to the transverse direction relative to the working face's advancing direction; that is, the direction perpendicular to the working face's advancing direction, which is the direction of the rock mass on both sides of the working face.
[0020] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the method includes: step S101, based on the determined basic roof parameters of the goaf roadway and the elastic foundation coefficient of the lateral coal body. Determine the basic fracture line and the first ( It is a positive integer. The distance between the coal face and the roadway walls of each working face Step S102, based on the basic fracture line and the first The distance between the coal face and the roadway walls of each working face and section coal pillar width Calculate the coal seam disposal range controlled by the deformation of the surrounding rock in the goaf roadway. Step S103, using the first The roadways of each working face are categorized according to the coal seam disposal area. For the Drilling was performed on the coal seam of each working face to relieve pressure, allowing the roof strata to be depressurized in the first... The working face was broken, rotated, and struck by rock.
[0021] Therefore, during the mining of the previous working face, the roadway of the previous working face is used to carry out the construction and treatment project of the coal body of the next working face. The coal body of the next working face is depressurized by drilling, which reduces the strength of the coal body and causes the roof rock to break, rotate, and hit the rock behind the previous working face. After the roof rock hits the rock, it forms a stable structure. After the roadway of the next working face is excavated, the roof rock will no longer continue to sink and the stress of the surrounding rock will not change much. This will reduce the amount of bulging of the sidewall and floor, and control the deformation of the surrounding rock. This avoids the problem of the roof rock rotating after the roadway of the next working face is excavated, which would cause large deformation of the roadway of the next working face.
[0022] In this embodiment, coal seam treatment involves pre-constructing large-diameter boreholes in the area of the next working face roadway. This serves two purposes: firstly, it disrupts the coal seam, rendering it unable to bear loads, allowing the roof strata to rotate, subside, and contact the rock; secondly, it relieves pressure on the coal seam, effectively reducing the surrounding rock stress during tunneling. Specifically, the coal seam treatment range is determined based on the deformation control of the surrounding rock along the goaf roadway. First, according to the constructed borehole cover model: Determine the basic top fracture line and the first The distance between the coal face and the roadway walls of each working face In the formula, This is the lateral correction factor. This is the basic top elastic modulus. For the fundamental top moment of inertia, The load is a uniformly distributed load on the top side. The elastic modulus of the lateral coal seam is defined as the elastic modulus of the foundation. This is achieved by using a microseismic monitoring system to capture microseismic events during the instability process of the surrounding rock in the mining area, and analyzing the spatial distribution, energy magnitude, and occurrence time of these microseismic events. This allows for the determination of the elastic modulus of the basic roof by analyzing the actual fracture location and evolution process of the fundamental rock strata. Basic top moment of inertia Basic top lateral uniformly distributed load Physical parameters, etc. Simultaneously, mechanical experiments are conducted on the sampled coal in the laboratory, and numerical inversion is performed on the obtained laboratory data to obtain lateral correction coefficients. and the lateral coal seam elastic foundation coefficient .
[0023] Then, through the constructed coal body disposal model: Determine the scope of coal seam treatment for deformation control of surrounding rock in empty roadways In the formula, The basic top fracture line and the first The distance between the coal seams of the roadways in each working face. The width of the coal pillar in the section (the first) The first working face and the first (width of coal pillar between working faces) This refers to the width of the alleyway along the tunnel.
[0024] In this embodiment, after the large-diameter pressure relief borehole is completed and the drill string is withdrawn, the borehole wall is exposed to the geostress environment. Following the drilling of the large-diameter pressure relief borehole, an elastic-plastic zone will form around the borehole wall, creating a plastic zone radius. Specifically, according to the constructed plastic zone model: Determine the radius of the plastic zone formed by a single borehole during borehole pressure relief. In the formula, Where is the borehole radius, The lateral vertical stress in the borehole after drilling (the ground stress can be measured using a borehole stress gauge (such as a hollow inclusion stress gauge or a hydraulic fracturing method)). This is a dimensionless stress parameter that reflects the strength characteristics of the material; The uniaxial compressive strength of the rock mass; The internal friction angle of the coal. It represents the cohesion of the coal and rock mass.
[0025] Simultaneously, the plastic zones formed by two adjacent large-diameter boreholes overlap to achieve the purpose of destroying and weakening the coal body; that is to say, the first When drilling to relieve pressure on the coal seam in a working face, the plastic zones formed by two adjacent boreholes overlap. Specifically, after determining the diameter of a large-diameter borehole, according to the model: Determine the distance between two adjacent boreholes In the formula, Where is the borehole radius, The radius of the plastic zone formed by a single borehole during borehole decompression.
[0026] After determining the coal seam disposal area controlled by the deformation of the surrounding rock in the goaf roadway... Subsequently, a large-diameter pressure relief borehole was constructed using a borehole enlargement technique, which involves drilling a small-diameter borehole (with a length of...) into the existing coal face. After drilling a small-diameter hole to a certain depth, it becomes a large-diameter construction (construction length). ), that is, the scope of coal body disposal At least the construction length of small-diameter boreholes must be covered. and the construction length of large-diameter boreholes .
[0027] By using small-diameter borehole sections, the coal seam and embankment of the roadway where the drilling rig is operating can be protected from damage, thus achieving the goal of weakening the coal seam in the target area without damaging the roadway's embankment. When using the reaming technique to... When drilling into the coal seam of a working face, follow the formula: Determine the minimum length of the initial borehole section (i.e., the small-diameter borehole section). In the formula, is the Protodyakonov coefficient of the coal body.
[0028] After the coal body was weakened during construction, its strength was reduced. After the previous working face was mined out, the strength of the coal body was insufficient to support the roof strata. Therefore, the roof strata fractured and subsided. After the roof strata hit the rock, they formed a stable structure. After the next working face was excavated, the roof strata no longer continued to subside. The stress of the surrounding rock did not change much, which reduced the amount of bulging of the sidewalls and floor, and controlled the deformation of the surrounding rock.
[0029] This embodiment also provides a control system for the deformation of the surrounding rock in the goaf roadway of a weakened hard coal seam working face. The deformation of the surrounding rock in the goaf roadway is controlled using any of the above embodiments of the weakened hard coal seam working face deformation control method. Figure 7 As shown, the system includes: Distance unit 701, configuration question based on the determined basic roof parameters of the goaf roadway and the elastic foundation coefficient of the lateral coal body.
