Description
A fluidized coal mining method utilizing the coal seam's own energy storage Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of coal mining, and in particular relates to a fluidized coal mining method utilizing the energy storage of the coal seam itself. Background Art
[0002] For a considerable period of time to come, coal will remain my country's most important basic energy source and industrial raw material, playing an irreplaceable role in economic and social development. Currently, with the exception of a small amount of open-pit mining, over 90% of China's coal mines utilize underground mining methods, where coal is mined through underground tunnels and transported to the surface via a transportation system. This traditional underground mining method requires the construction of numerous underground tunnels and supporting production chambers, resulting in extensive geotechnical engineering and high coal mining costs. Furthermore, although mechanized mining has been achieved, underground equipment installation and operation still require a large number of workers, leading to significant casualties in the event of a coal and gas outburst. Therefore, underground mining is not a safe method.
[0003] Coal and gas outburst (abbreviated as outburst) is a violent dynamic process in which gas-containing coal and rock in a crushed state move rapidly from the coal and rock layer to the mining space in a coal mine, accompanied by a large amount of gas ejection, which seriously threatens the safe production of coal mines. In recent years, research has focused on how to prevent the occurrence of outburst accidents. However, precisely because the outburst process is accompanied by a large amount of energy release, if the large amount of energy such as gas pressure energy, coal body potential energy and ground stress stored in the coal seam itself is released instantly and acts on the coal body through artificial coal mining, the coal body will be broken in a very short time. If this dynamic disaster is fully utilized as an effective way to break the coal body, it will save a lot of coal mining work.
[0004] Physical fluidized coal mining refers to a mining technology that uses water power to complete all or part of the work in the production links of mine production, such as coal mining, transportation, and hoisting. The physical fluidized coal mining method can greatly reduce the configuration of underground tunnels and underground workers. The coal mining cost is low and the coal mining safety is high. Physical fluidized coal mining is usually used in unstable coal seams, steeply inclined coal seams, re-mined coal seams, and areas or blocks with irregular coal seam occurrence. As long as the coal seam conditions are suitable, its advantages can be fully utilized.
[0005] After consulting the existing relevant research literature, it is known that the published patents and literature have done some research on fluidized coal mining technology. The Chinese invention patent with application number 202110758090.0 discloses a ground directional drilling fluidized hydraulic coal mining method. This method is based on directional drilling technology. A directional coal mining drill is drilled from the ground at a high position relative to the coal seam. At the same time, a directional coal suction drill is drilled from the ground to the coal seam. Then, the coal seam is hydraulically cut by an integrated drilling and mining device, which can reduce the cost of coal mining under the premise of achieving underground operations without operators. However, its coal mining process relies entirely on hydraulic and drilling and mining integrated devices, and does not mention the recycling of water and gangue resources, nor does it mention the separation and treatment of the mined coal-rock mixture.
[0006] Therefore, in order to further achieve low-cost and high-efficiency fluidized coal mining, it is urgent to propose a fluidized coal mining method that utilizes the energy storage of the coal seam itself.
[0007] Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fluidized coal mining method that utilizes the energy storage of the coal seam itself to solve the above problems.
[0009] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions:
[0010] A fluidized coal mining method utilizing the energy storage of the coal seam itself comprises the following steps:
[0011] Development of shafts and tunnels: Detecting and determining the depth, size and inclination of the coal seam to be mined, demarcating different mining areas and the mining sequence; drilling the coal seam through a drilling system to form a vertical hoist shaft; developing a tunnel system along the bottom of the vertical hoist shaft and installing a surface equipment system on the ground; the tunnel system is placed below the coal seam;
[0012] Active coal uncovering: delivering explosives to the roadway system through the lifting shaft, sealing the top of the lifting shaft, detonating the explosives to disturb the coal seam and generate coal and gas outburst dynamic phenomena; processing the fluid mixture formed by the explosion through the surface equipment system;
[0013] Fluidized coal mining: The location of the coal mining drill is determined on the ground according to the location of the protruding holes formed after active coal mining, and the coal mining drill is drilled to the upper part of the tunnel system by the drilling system to form a mining area; the mining area is mined;
[0014] Backfilling of goaf: After the first mining area is mined, a goaf is formed, and the goaf is transported to the goaf through the ground equipment system for backfilling, so that the goaf and the roadway system form a gangue backfill area;
[0015] After backfilling is completed, the above steps are repeated to mine the next adjacent coal mining area in turn until the mining of the entire coal seam is completed.
[0016] In the coal seam mining step, the surface equipment system includes a gas filtering and compression device, a gas storage tank, a sedimentation tank, a mixture separation device, a gangue storage chamber, a water storage tank, a high-pressure pump and a coal storage bin;
[0017] The gas compression and filtering device is tightly connected to the gas extraction hole opened at the top of the lifting shaft; the gas compression and filtering device is tightly connected to the gas storage tank through a gas delivery pipeline;
[0018] One end of the mixture separation device is connected to the sedimentation tank opened on the ground through a conveying pipeline; the other end is connected to the gangue storage room, water storage tank and coal storage bin through valves respectively; the water storage tank is tightly connected to the high-pressure pump through a water supply pipeline.
[0019] In the coal seam mining step, the drilling system includes a coal-rock mixture delivery pipe disposed in the lifting shaft; a slurry suction pump and a crushing and stirring device are installed at the bottom end of the coal-rock mixture delivery pipe, and the top end is connected to the sedimentation tank;
[0020] The top of the lifting shaft is sealed by a shaft sealing unit.
[0021] In the fluidized coal mining step, the drilling system further includes a coal mining drill rod disposed in the coal mining well; the inner cavity of the coal mining drill rod is tightly connected to the output end of a high-pressure water pipe, and the input end of the high-pressure water pipe is connected to the high-pressure pump;
[0022] The bottom end of the coal mining drill rod is transmission connected to the coal mining drill rig, and a rotation control device is also installed at the bottom of the coal mining drill rod. A high-pressure ejector is fixedly installed on the rotation control device through an injection distance telescopic rod, and a hollow water passage is opened in the injection distance telescopic rod, and the hollow water passage is connected to the inner cavity of the coal mining drill rod.
[0023] The tunnel system includes a coal and rock collection chamber and a floor tunnel; the bottom end of the lifting shaft is connected to the coal and rock collection chamber; the floor tunnel is excavated along the coal and rock collection chamber, and the floor tunnel is connected to the coal seam through a stone gate.
[0024] In the active coal uncovering step, the specific steps are to send the explosives to the stone gate at the bottom of the coal seam through the lifting shaft, seal the top of the lifting shaft through the wellhead sealing unit, detonate the explosives to disturb the coal seam; the fluid mixture formed by the explosion enters the coal and rock collection chamber through the bottom plate tunnel and is then stored in the gas storage tank through the gas extraction hole.
[0025] In the fluidized coal mining step, drilling the coal mining well to the upper part of the tunnel system through the drilling system and stopping specifically includes: arranging the high-pressure pump and the water storage tank at the wellhead of the coal mining well, extending the coal mining drill rod into the coal mining well, and opening the coal mining well through the coal mining drill rig; after completing the drilling of the coal mining well, continue drilling the coal seam drilling section into the coal seam until drilling reaches the upper part of the stone gate and stops drilling.
[0026] In the fluidized coal mining step, forming the mining area specifically includes: hydraulically cutting the loose coal seam around the protruding hole by the high-pressure jet; controlling the coal mining drill rod to slowly retract until the high-pressure jet retracts to the top of the coal seam drilling section, completing the initial mining;
[0027] The coal mining drill rod is controlled to descend and reset so that the high-pressure ejector reaches the lower limit position of the coal seam burial depth, and the ejection distance telescopic rod is extended to increase the effective ejection distance of the high-pressure ejector and increase the water pressure to expand the hydraulic coal breaking radius. This cycle is repeated until the first mining area is mined.
[0028] In the fluidized coal mining step, mining the mining area includes: the coal-rock mixture cut in the mining area enters the coal-rock collection chamber along the bottom plate tunnel, and is lifted into the sedimentation tank through the slurry suction pump and the crushing and stirring device.
[0029] In the fluidized coal mining step, backfilling the goaf includes: constructing a blocking unit in the floor roadway below the coal seam adjacent to the goaf; transporting the gangue in the gangue storage chamber to the goaf through the gangue conveying pipe for backfilling, so that the goaf and the floor roadway below form a gangue backfill area;
[0030] After the backfilling is completed, the above steps are repeated to mine the next adjacent mining area in turn until the mining of the coal seam is completed, and the coal and rock collection chamber and the lifting shaft are backfilled.
[0031] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects: The present invention proposes a fluidized coal mining method that utilizes the energy stored in the coal seam itself. Before carrying out traditional physical fluidized coal mining, the coal body at a predetermined position is actively and controllably exposed to induce dynamic phenomena. By utilizing the large amount of energy such as gas expansion energy and ground stress energy stored in the coal seam itself to act on the coal body itself, it not only effectively controls coal and gas outburst disasters, but also achieves the initial high degree of crushing of the coal body, truly turning waste into treasure. It also causes the coal body around the hole to loosen, saving a lot of work for subsequent hydraulic mining and improving the overall coal mining efficiency.
[0032] During the coal mining process, gas released from the coal seam and coal particles is collected simultaneously. At the same time, the coal-rock mixture lifted up the well is separated into coal, water, and gangue through a separation device. The separated water is returned to the water storage tank and recycled in fluidized coal mining, while the gangue is used to backfill the goaf. This fully utilizes resources during the coal mining process, effectively saving production costs while achieving green and efficient co-mining of coal and gas.
[0033] A complete fluidized coal mining process that utilizes the coal seam's own energy storage has been developed. The mining area and mining sequence are optimized based on the actual conditions of the coal seam. At the same time, a spray distance telescopic rod is added to the fixed drill rod for coal mining, which can change the spray range of the high-pressure jet and increase the size of the single mining area, greatly improving the coal mining efficiency and reducing the drilling construction workload. At the same time, through the cyclic backfilling of the goaf and floor tunnels, coal pillars can be eliminated. Combined with the rotary control device and the spray distance telescopic rod, the corner coal and residual coal can be effectively crushed. Compared with traditional coal mining methods, the coal recovery rate can be increased by about 20%, basically achieving 100% coal recovery and effectively avoiding the waste of coal resources.

[0057] In the fluidized coal mining step, the formation of the mining area specifically includes: using the high-pressure jet 17 to hydraulically cut the loose coal seam around the protruding hole 6; controlling the coal mining drill rod 13 to slowly retract until the high-pressure jet 17 retracts to the top of the coal seam drilling section 19, completing the initial mining;
[0058] The coal mining drill rod 13 is controlled to descend and reset so that the high-pressure ejector 17 reaches the lower limit of the coal seam burial depth. The ejection distance telescopic rod 18 is extended to increase the effective ejection distance of the high-pressure ejector 17 and increase the water pressure to expand the hydraulic coal breaking radius.
