[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rock formation excavation, and in particular to a rock breaking device and method that combines liquid nitrogen jet and particle impact. [Background technology]

[0002] Hard rock is unavoidable during coal mining and underground excavation. Common rock-breaking methods include drilling, which involves drilling a hole in advance, filling it with explosives, and then detonating the explosives, and mechanical rock-breaking.

[0013] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the present invention provides a combined liquid nitrogen jet and particle impact rock breaking device, including a liquid nitrogen jet fracturing system and a particle impact system, The liquid nitrogen injection fracturing system includes at least a liquid supply assembly and a hollow drill rod (17), the liquid supply assembly supplies pressurized liquid nitrogen to the hollow drill rod (17), a plurality of liquid nitrogen nozzles (20) are provided around the circumference of the hollow drill rod (17), and the hollow drill rod (17) injects liquid nitrogen into the rock body through the liquid nitrogen nozzles (20) in a drilled hole in the rock wall; The particle bombardment system includes a particle acceleration assembly and a particle nozzle 39, which accelerates particles and ejects them through the particle nozzle 39 into the rock wall adjacent to the drill hole.

[0014] This rock-breaking device first injects high-pressure liquid nitrogen into the rock wall via a hollow drill rod 17, allowing the liquid nitrogen to diffuse around the drill hole. Under the action of the liquid nitrogen, freeze-breaking occurs in the rock, gradually weakening it and creating internal cracks. The particles are then accelerated to high speeds via a particle acceleration assembly and injected into the rock wall around the drill hole via a particle nozzle 39, causing the rock to fracture through impact. The weakening effect of the liquid nitrogen makes the rock more brittle, creating internal cracks, and the high-speed particles have enough impact energy to fracture the weakened hard rock. This rock-breaking device not only overcomes the wear problem of traditional mechanical rock-breaking tools, but also significantly improves drilling efficiency. Furthermore, the rock-breaking device achieves anhydrous operation throughout the entire process, leaving almost no liquid nitrogen behind after evaporation, making the rock-breaking process safer and more environmentally friendly.

[0015] A drill 18 is connected to the tip of the hollow drill rod 17, and a bridge plug 21 and a packer 19 are provided at intervals on the hollow drill rod 17 behind the drill 18, and a liquid nitrogen nozzle 20 is positioned on the hollow drill rod 17 between the bridge plug 21 and the packer 19.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, the hollow drill rod 17 is attached to a drilling rig 16, and the drill rod and drill 18 are rotated through the drilling rig 16 to drill a drill hole in the rock wall. After the hole is cleared, the hollow drill rod 17 with the liquid nitrogen nozzle 20 is inserted into the drill hole. Then, high-pressure liquid nitrogen is input into the hollow drill rod 17 through a liquid supply assembly, and the bridge plug 21 and the packer 19 can serve to seal the gap between the hollow drill rod 17 and the drill hole, thereby preventing the liquid nitrogen from escaping the drill hole and penetrating into the rock mass around the drill hole, thereby expanding the weakening area of ​​the rock mass as much as possible.

[0017] The liquid supply assembly includes at least a self-pressurizing liquid nitrogen storage tank 1 and a liquid nitrogen buffer tank 8. The self-pressurizing liquid nitrogen storage tank 1 and the liquid nitrogen buffer tank 8 are in communication with each other via a first pipeline.

In one embodiment of the present application, the first pipeline is turned on and off via the first solenoid valve 7. The self-pressurizing liquid nitrogen storage tank 1 fills the liquid nitrogen buffer tank 8 with liquid nitrogen via the first pipeline, and the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen buffer tank 8 is transported to the hollow drill rod 17 after being pressurized.

The liquid pump 10 is a reciprocating cryogenic liquid pump 10, which pressurizes the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen buffer tank 8 through the liquid pump 10 and turns the liquid nitrogen into a liquid nitrogen jet, which is then input into a hollow drill rod 17 and injected into the rock mass, thereby increasing the penetration energy of the liquid nitrogen and its weakening effect on the rock mass.

[0022] The driving source of the liquid pump 10 includes a frequency conversion control box 13, a motor 12, and a transmission box 11. The output end of the motor 12 is power-transmitted to the input end of the transmission box 11, and the output end of the transmission box 11 is power-transmitted to the input shaft of the liquid pump 10. The frequency conversion control box 13 is connected to the motor 12 and controls the rotation speed of the motor 12. In one embodiment of the present application, the transmission box 11 is installed between the liquid pump 10 and the motor 12 to transmit power and serves the role of reducing speed and increasing torque. By controlling the rotation speed of the motor 12 via the frequency conversion control box 13, the working pressure and injection frequency of the reciprocating cryogenic liquid pump 10 can be accurately adjusted, and liquid nitrogen can be injected into the rock body at the required pressure and injection frequency for different rock conditions.

[0023] A third pipeline is connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid pump 10, and a third solenoid valve 15 and a pressure gauge 14 are provided in the third pipeline. The third pipeline is connected to each of a plurality of hollow drill rods 17 via a branch pipe so that the liquid pump 10 can simultaneously deliver a pressurized liquid nitrogen jet to a plurality of hollow drill rods 17. In one embodiment of the present application, the third solenoid valve 15 is used to control the on / off of the third pipeline, and the pressure gauge 14 is used to measure the pressure of the liquid nitrogen in the third pipeline and to determine whether the liquid nitrogen being delivered to the hollow drill rods 17 has reached a set pressure. At the same time, multiple sets of drilling rigs 16 and drill rods are provided, and each hollow drill rod 17 is connected to a third pipeline via a branch pipe, and the liquid pump 10 can simultaneously deliver pressurized liquid nitrogen jets to multiple hollow drill rods 17, so that the multiple hollow drill rods 17 can simultaneously inject liquid nitrogen jets into a wider range of rock bodies, thereby maximizing the area of ​​the rock bodies weakened by the liquid nitrogen and achieving a better weakening effect on the rock bodies.

[0024] The particle acceleration assembly includes a particle acceleration tube 27, a collision rod 28, a pneumatic machine 24, and a gas cylinder 22, and the collision rod 28 is moved while being guided in the particle acceleration tube 27.

The pneumatic machine 24 is connected to the particle acceleration tube 27 via a pipe and supplies compressed gas to the particle acceleration tube 27.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present application, the gas cylinder valve 23 is used to control the gas supply from the gas cylinder 22 to the air machine, however, multiple gas cylinders 22 may be provided, and the multiple gas cylinders 22 are connected in parallel to a pipe connected to the air machine, and one gas cylinder valve 23 is provided at the gas outlet position of each gas cylinder 22.

[0026] The pipe between the air compressor 24 and the particle acceleration tube 27 is equipped with a ball valve 25 for controlling the on / off of this pipe, and a pressure gauge 26 for monitoring whether the gas pressure after being pressurized by the air compressor has reached a standard. The gas in the gas cylinder 22 is compressed via the air compressor 24 and then input into the particle acceleration tube 27, and the high-pressure gas pressurizes the collision rod 28, causing it to move at high speed in the particle acceleration tube 27, causing the collision rod 28 to collide with particles at high speed, giving the particles a large amount of kinetic energy which is then ejected from the particle nozzle 39 and collided with the weakened rock body by the liquid nitrogen, destroying the rock body.

[0027] The particle acceleration assembly further includes a particle filling mechanism, which includes at least a sleeve 33 and an inner tube 36, the inner tube 36 being provided inside the sleeve 33 and communicating with one end of the particle acceleration tube 27 to provide particles to the particle acceleration tube 27. One end of the inner tube 36 is communicated with a particle storehouse 31 via a pipe, and the particle storehouse 31 replenishes particles to the inner tube 36.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present application, the particles contained in the particle storehouse 31 may be particles of a hard material such as iron particles or steel particles, and a particle valve 32 is provided in the pipe between the particle storehouse 31 and the inner pipe 36, and the particle valve 32 is used to control the on / off of the pipe so that the particle storehouse 31 controls the replenishment and transport of particles to the inner pipe 36.

A fifth solenoid valve 38 that compresses the spring 35 is provided in the fifth pipe line.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present application, a spring 35 presses a gasket 34, which presses against particles inside the inner tube 36 so that the collision rod 28 collides and accelerates the particles, forcing the particles into the particle acceleration tube 27.

[0031] The fourth solenoid valve 29 is used to control the on / off of the fourth pipe line. After the fourth solenoid valve 29 is opened, the particle acceleration tube 27 is evacuated through the vacuum pump 30, generating negative pressure inside the particle acceleration tube 27, which resets the collision rod 28 to its original position and facilitates the next collision process.

[0032] The fifth solenoid valve 38 is used to control the on / off of the fifth pipeline. After the fifth solenoid valve 38 opens, the inner pipe 36 between the gasket 34 and the base plate is evacuated via the vacuum pump 30 to generate negative pressure, causing the gasket 34 to compress the spring 35. At this time, the particle valve 32 is opened, and the particles in the particle warehouse 31 are replenished into the inner pipe 36.

The collision rod 28 moves along the particle acceleration tube 27 at high speed under the action of high-pressure air, colliding with the particles, causing the particles to be ejected at high speed from the particle nozzle 39, and the particles are ejected into the rock wall between the four drills, thereby fracturing the rock body. Open the fourth solenoid valve 29, start the vacuum pump 30, and reset the collision rod 28. The above process is repeated, causing the particles to repeatedly impact and fracture the rock wall. In this embodiment, the particles collide with the rock wall between the four drills.
