[0007] The present invention relates to the technical field of stratum excavation, and in particular to a deep stratum liquid-filled well and cave controllable form mining system and a mining method. Background Art

[0008] Since the beginning of the 21st century, society has experienced rapid development, with an ever-increasing pursuit of science, technology, and economics. The various tools and equipment required for production and daily life consume vast quantities of mineral resources. While cutting-edge technologies such as deep space and deep-sea exploration, basic scientific research, fusion devices, supercomputing power, and high-speed transportation have achieved remarkable success, the demand for precious metals and other rare elements has become increasingly urgent. The vast reserves of valuable mineral resources deep within the Earth's crust are crucial for future human survival and development, and a crucial support for humanity's technological dreams. Therefore, the field of geology and mining must keep pace with the times and advance deeper. However, developing mineral resources deep within the Earth presents a more complex, demanding, and unpredictable engineering and geological environment. Traditional mining technologies increase exponentially with increasing depth, leading to major accidents and development costs, making large-scale deep mineral development an impossible task. Therefore, a new technological system is urgently needed to effectively develop mineral resources within deep strata and the underlying ocean layers. This will not only be a crucial tool for promoting technological dreams and ensuring production and daily life, but will also serve as a crucial means of exploring the depths of the Earth.

[0009] Existing technology utilizes the shaft-and-tunnel method for underground solid mineral deposits. This involves transporting mining equipment down through vertical shafts, inclined tunnels, and horizontal tunnels. Mining takes place underground, and the ore is transported out using trucks or bucket trucks. However, as mining progresses deeper, more and more strata become unminable due to rock bursts, rockbursts, outbursts, roof collapses, collapses, and water seepage. Shaft-and-tunnel mining creates vast underground spaces, necessitating the use of complex support equipment. However, collapses can still occur when mining deep or soft strata, disrupting mining operations.

[0010] Extracting minerals from deep strata has long been a key focus of human industry. Existing technologies include underground gasification and other methods for surface development of coal, as well as high-pressure water jets to promote the fluidization of hydrates and transport them to the surface through wellbores. However, these methods are unable to directly exploit deep solid mineral deposits. Furthermore, when mining minerals in strata beneath water bodies, existing technologies primarily utilize coastal development methods, drilling vertical shafts on the shore and then excavating tunnels into the strata beneath the water. This essentially uses the vertical shaft and tunnel method to mine and transport ore, but this method cannot extend far into the ocean. Therefore, the industry urgently needs to develop a technology for mining deep minerals and minerals in strata beneath the ocean. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The present invention provides a deep formation liquid-filled well-cavity controllable shape mining method, which is implemented using the above-mentioned deep formation liquid-filled well-cavity controllable shape mining system. The mining method includes the following steps:

[0041] Step S10: transporting the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment to a mining location through a channel shaft;

[0044] Step S40: moving the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment and repeating steps S20 to S30 to form a chamber group by mining;

[0045] Step S50: Fill each chamber after completing the mining operation.

[0046] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0047] 1. It can safely and efficiently utilize fluid-filled wellbores to achieve three-dimensional controllable mining. During the mining process, a dual-degree-of-freedom or multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm is used to form a controlled mining shape. During the mining process along the wellbore, the "segmented strings" are further "grouped" to form a deep-stratum fluid-filled well cluster with a certain degree of structural stability. The controllable three-dimensional mining device achieved by the present invention can achieve "precision carving" in deep strata, eliminating the need for workers to go down the well to mine. At the same time, it cleverly utilizes the support fluid in the traffic well network to provide hydraulic support to the well wall, which can reduce damage to the strata during the mining process and reduce problems such as impact ground pressure, rock bursts, outbursts, roof falls, collapses, and water seepage during the mining process. It can achieve large-scale mining of deep minerals and minerals in strata beneath the ocean. Given the scattered distribution of metal deposits, this technology can gnaw on the deposits one cave after another, similar to the foraging of a "snake", achieving the goal of tunnel-free development.

[0048] 2. When the lateral extension section is used to realize three-dimensional controllable extended mining, the traffic well includes a channel well and several branch wells with controllable trajectories connected to the channel well. The lateral extension section and the extended mining mechanism are guided to move by the wellbore trajectory of the branch well. Moreover, the diameter of the branch well is relatively small. When the lateral extension section is extended into the branch well to carry out hole expansion and crushing operation, it makes full use of the guiding role of the branch well, can accurately crush in real time at the preset spatial position, and guide the extended mining device to accurately mine the ore in the deep formation. Moreover, based on the branch well network, mining is carried out by expanding the branch well space, which will not form concentrated goaf areas, and avoid concentrated goaf areas in the vertical shaft tunnel mining process. Therefore, the branch well is used as a means to extend the mining range, and the branch well is controllably expanded using an expansion arm. The mining process causes little damage to the rock formation, and can maximize contact with the ore body, fully mine the ore as much as possible, and expand to form tunnels or chambers as needed, thereby improving the ore recovery effect. In addition, the method of gradually expanding the branch wells of the present invention can facilitate the monitoring of stratum collapse, and since the damage to the stratum is relatively small, it can also achieve a larger range of three-dimensional extension.

[0049] Third, using a three-dimensional expansion mining method or a branch well guidance method, the rock splitting device achieves initial ore stripping. After being stripped from the stratum, the ore is processed by a re-crushing device to a controllable particle size, and then hoisted by the shaft. This can significantly reduce energy consumption in the mining of hard mineral deposits. The turning radius and distribution density of the branch wells are set, and directional branch well technology can be used to accurately extend and improve mining efficiency while keeping the post-mining tunnel diameter relatively controllable (0.5-5 meters).

[0050] 4. The equipment channel is connected between the wellhead and the mining position in the stratum. The detection equipment enters the mining position through the channel well, which can assist in observing the mining operation information in the chamber and assist the staff outside the well to carry out mining work. The extended mining device includes a crushing device for excavating ore and a travel module for driving the crushing device to move. The driving component is used to drive the equipment body and the extension arm of the crushing device to move in two degrees of freedom, that is, the mining face can be formed by moving in two free directions, and the mining working face with an area much larger than the cross-section of the channel well can be expanded, and the entire wall of the chamber can be mined smoothly.

[0051] The drive assembly can also control the overall retraction or expansion of the extended mining device, and switch between different states of mining work through the channel shaft. It can smoothly reach the mining location through the small-diameter channel shaft, and can carry out mining operations without personnel going down the shaft. It can adapt to the needs of mining in deep bottom layers and strata under the ocean, that is, it can go down to the sea and then into the ground to carry out mineral development; in addition, the present invention can develop small mineral deposits without the need for vertical shafts and tunnels, making small mineral deposits that originally could not achieve economic benefits have development value, which not only greatly reduces costs, but is also less susceptible to vibration, blasting or goaf.

[0052] 5. The use of a crushing power assembly and a driven crushing assembly to achieve rock crushing is more conducive to achieving a unified power source and a fully electric-driven deep mining system, avoiding the insertion of complex high-pressure fluid pipelines, hydraulic pipelines, pneumatic pipelines, etc. underground, and is conducive to achieving three-dimensional expanded mining in the form of multi-branch channel wells; in addition, the high efficiency of power transmission and the small space occupied help reduce the demand for wellbore space size, which is crucial for the shaft mining process.

[0053] 6. The excavation of a chamber in the well is achieved by a three-dimensional controllable expansion mining method through a controllable expansion mining arm. The shape of the chamber formed by mining can be controlled, and chambers with elliptical cross-sections, horseshoe cross-sections, and arched cross-sections can be formed according to ground stress conditions, so that the post-mining space shape and the mining position can be controlled. In addition, with the support of the high-pressure fluid in the well system, the chamber formed during the mining process can be naturally stable. Furthermore, the present invention also proposes a device and method for filling while mining, and the isolation and filling of the mining space and the filling space are achieved by moving the expansion filling device along the process well. The present invention uses the method of time-shifting the chamber to mine and fill at the same time, ensuring that there is only one moving chamber in real time, limiting the maximum cross-sectional area range and the range of the empty length, and ensuring the stability of deep mining.

[0054] 7. The present invention realizes mining in the form of a chamber group based on a wellbore, and therefore uses a wellbore to realize the transportation of ore particles. Therefore, the present invention realizes two-stage or even multi-stage crushing through an in-situ secondary crushing device, which can effectively control the particle size and block size of the crushed ore, and further can transport it in the form of a particle flow in the wellbore. The ore particle lifting system includes a return channel, which can realize the transportation of underground ore to the outside of the wellhead through the return channel under the drive of the ore particle lifting system. The reason why the return channel is set in the ore particle lifting process well is because the present invention is developed in a tunnel-free manner, so the chamber is formed based on the wellbore.

[0055] 8. If conventional reamer or reaming blades in the prior art are used to perform mining operations, the cutting torque increases with the extension of the blades until the torque is too large to break the rock. Therefore, when conventional reaming is used to perform mining operations, the reaming range is generally 5%-30% of the original wellbore, and in industrial applications it is only used to increase the surface area of ​​the oil-producing section or to facilitate cementing and sand control operations. If minerals are mined by reaming, it is far from reaching the threshold of industrial mining. Moreover, the original reaming device can only form a cylindrical chamber for mining, and it is impossible to achieve morphological control, and it is impossible to achieve better stress by adjusting the morphology under strong ground stress conditions.

[0056] 9. The present invention implements mineral mining based on liquid-filled wells. In the field of marine development, it is possible to first go into the sea and then into the ground to implement mining operations inside the strata below the ocean. This is essentially different and superior to the prior art of directly destroying the seabed to mine nodules and crusts. In the strata below the seabed, regardless of the depth, the present invention implements a method of mining solid minerals through wellbores, forming a controllable group of liquid-filled chambers during mining, which has good structural stability and can be carried out without damaging the seabed. Using the technology of the present invention to develop mineral resources inside the underlying strata of the ocean only requires opening a window on the seabed. The operation process can be completely isolated from the ocean water body through the watertight pipe and the wellbore, which can well protect the marine environment during the development process.

[0109] The extended excavation device 100 is used to realize excavation of the chamber along the process well 8000; or, the extended collection device 9000 is used to realize collection or absorption of the mineral material in the chamber along the process well;

[0110] The ore particle lifting system 700 is partially set in the process well 8000, and the ore generated by the extended operating device can be transported to the wellhead through the ore particle lifting system 700; the ore particle lifting system 700 includes a return channel 8300, and the ore is transported outward through the return channel 8300; one or more of the process wells 8000 are ore lifting process wells, and the return channel 8300 is set in the ore lifting process well.

[0111] The extended working device is transported to the starting position via a pre-set process shaft 8000. The extended working device then moves along process shaft 8000, transporting ore material outward through flowback channel 8300, completing the mining process. While process shaft 8000 is relatively small, the extended working device can create a larger mining chamber, allowing mining in areas with larger cross-sections. This reduces the difficulty of mining in complex areas and improves mining efficiency.

[0112] The flowback channel 8300 includes the flowback channel 7100 passing through the mineral lifting process shaft 8000 or the annulus within the mineral lifting process shaft 8000 or the mineral lifting process shaft 8000 itself.

[0113] The ore particle hoisting system 700 employed in the present invention requires ore material with a diameter smaller than a certain scale, with an average diameter of at least less than 50 mm. The crushing mechanism can be used to crush ore on rock walls or working surfaces, as well as large fallen rocks in mines. The extended range of the extended mining device 100 can be seen in dimension D in Figure 4 . The ore material mined by the extended mining device 100 can be transported to the wellhead via the ore particle hoisting system 700.

[0114] The wellhead of process well 8000 is located on the surface or on an offshore platform. When process well 8000 is located on the surface, the internal diameter of process well 8000 is less than 2 meters, the vertical depth is greater than 100 meters, and the aspect ratio is greater than 100. When process well 8000 is located on an offshore platform, the internal diameter of process well 8000 is less than 2 meters, and process well 8000 includes at least 5 meters in seawater and at least another 20 meters in underwater strata. It should be noted that process well 8000 in the present invention does not necessarily refer to a specific process well 8000, but may be located in two or more process wells 8000. When the system is used for marine mining, it also includes a riser. The riser is part of the process well and is located above the process well. It is located between the seabed and sea level and is used to isolate the entire mining system from the marine environment.

[0115] This invention aims to address deep mining challenges, primarily by utilizing wellbore excavation. Therefore, it proposes a method of lifting ore using crushing combined with low-density particle flow. The advantages increase with deeper wells. Furthermore, a vertical depth greater than 200 meters for a process well 8000 refers to an operating chamber depth greater than 200 meters. 200 meters refers to the distance from the wellhead to the mine floor, or from the ground or sea surface to the mine. This depth is required for the low-density particle flow to achieve its lifting effect. Chambers can include mines, tunnels, and other areas.

[0116] It should be noted that a chamber includes underground spaces that are elongated, arched, quasi-circular, quasi-elliptical, or other irregularly shaped. A chamber can be formed by multiple independently mined chambers distributed along the axis of a process well, or a long, rectangular chamber formed by mining along the axis of a process well. For purposes of this disclosure, the long axis length of a chamber generally does not exceed the effective length of the portion of the process well that passes through the mineral deposit.

[0117] The present invention targets terrestrial deposits at a certain depth, deposits prone to collapse or water permeability in geological environments, or deposits within marine seabed formations. It is applicable to conditions prone to water permeability, rockbursts, roof collapse, and collapse. Using the wellbore as a communication channel, the extended mining device can use an expansion arm to drive the tunneling head to excavate a group of chambers, enabling ore collection. Furthermore, the ore particle lifting system can use fluid mixing to transport the ore to the wellhead via a flowback channel provided within the process well. Therefore, in the specific context of the present invention, the size and form of the process well 8000 are limited, specifically distinguishing it from mining methods using traditional tunnels and mining faces. Marine mining using the present invention is significantly different from existing seabed mining methods, primarily in that the mineral deposits mined are located within the seabed formation, not on the traditional seabed surface. The present invention provides a mining method and system that first goes underwater and then underground, significantly different from existing technologies. The entire mining operation system in the present invention does not need to be in contact with seawater, that is, it can be completely isolated from the marine environment through the watertight pipe.

[0118] The cross-sectional major axis of the extended mining device 100 is smaller than the inner diameter of the process well 8000 with the largest diameter in the mine, so that the extended mining device 100 can be transported to the operation starting position through the process well 8000.

[0119] In the present invention, the starting position of the operation is generally at the bottom of the well or near the bottom of the well. Mining is achieved by extending the mining device 100 or the extended collection device 9000 in a reverse mining manner, which can avoid post-mining space collapse.

[0120] At least one process well is an equipment access well. In one embodiment, the expansion mining device 100 includes a crushing assembly 1100 and an expansion mechanism. The expansion mechanism is used to drive the crushing assembly 1100 to expand, thereby adjusting the expansion mining device 100 between a retracted state and an extended state. When the expansion mining device 100 is in the retracted state, it can be transported through the equipment access well. Specifically, when in the retracted state, the outer diameter of the expansion mining device 100 is smaller than the inner diameter of the at least one process well 8000.

[0121] In one embodiment, the expansion mechanism includes an expansion arm 12200 and a control mechanism 12400. The control mechanism 12400 is used to drive the expansion arm 12200 away from or toward the axis of the equipment access shaft. The crushing assembly 1100 includes a power assembly 1200 and a crushing mechanism, which is mounted on the expansion arm 12200. The power assembly 1200 provides rock-breaking power to the crushing mechanism underground. The control mechanism 12400 can be a hydraulic cylinder or other joint actuator.

[0122] In one embodiment, the extended mining device 100 also includes a base 12100, an extension arm 12200 is installed on the base 12100, and a crushing assembly 1100 is installed on the extension arm 12200. The control mechanism 12400 is arranged between the base 12100 and the extension arm 12200, and is used to drive the extension arm 12200 to achieve expansion. The extension arm 12200 can drive the crushing assembly 1100 to move relative to the base 12100.

[0123] In one embodiment, the crushing mechanism is a tunneling head, reamer, drill, or impact pick; the length of the extension arm 12200 is greater than three times the diameter of the equipment access shaft. In the present invention, conventional tunneling heads, reamers, transverse milling and excavation heads, and longitudinal milling and excavation heads are all considered tunneling heads. When the crushing assembly 1100 is a bolter, the power assembly 1200 is a fluid first motor 9300, and the crushing mechanism is a reamer, tunneling head, impact pick, or drill. The control mechanism 12400 is a joint actuator, specifically a hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, motor, or electric joint, which drives the expansion arm 12200 to open and close.

[0124] Furthermore, the extended mining device 100 can at least make the crushing assembly 1100 expand a distance greater than 3 times the radius of the process well 8000; the crushing assembly 1100 includes a power assembly 1200 and a crushing mechanism connected to the power assembly 1200, the crushing mechanism is a rotary crushing tool or an impact crushing tool, and when the crushing mechanism is a rotary crushing tool, the rotary crushing mechanism tool includes a reamer, a tunneling head or a cutting head, and the long axis of the cross section of the extended mining device perpendicular to its own length direction does not exceed 3 times the maximum diameter of the reamer, tunneling head or cutting head, the length of the extended arm 12200 is greater than 5 times the diameter of the reamer, tunneling head or cutting head, and the maximum diameter of the reamer, tunneling head or cutting head is 30%-95% of the diameter of the equipment channel well.

[0125] When the crushing mechanism is an impact crushing tool as shown in Figure 41, the impact crushing tool includes an impact pick or a drill tool, the long axis of the cross section of the extended mining device 100 perpendicular to its own length direction does not exceed 8 times the maximum diameter of the impact pick or the drill tool, and the length of the extended arm 12200 is greater than 10 times the diameter of the impact pick or the drill tool.

[0126] In one embodiment, the deep formation liquid-filled well controllable form mining system includes a traction device. As shown in Figure 5, the traction device 200 also includes a power cable 12300. The power cable 12300 is arranged in front of the extended mining device 100 and is used to provide power for the extended mining device 100; the power assembly 1200 is connected to the power cable 12300 and is used to obtain electrical energy or pressure energy from the power cable 12300, and convert the electrical energy or pressure energy into mechanical energy to drive the crushing mechanism to break the rock.

[0127] In one embodiment, the deep formation fluid-filled well controllable shape mining system includes a traction device connected to the expansion mining device, and the traction device includes a traction cable, a rigging or a traction rod.

[0128] In one embodiment, the process well 8000 extends vertically and horizontally, has a vertical depth greater than 200 meters, and a total depth greater than 300 meters. The equipment access well includes a well section extending into the mineral deposit. Furthermore, when the extended mining device 100 is in the extended state, the extension amplitude D of the expanded mining face can reach at least three times the diameter of the process well 8000.

[0129] 6 and 7 , the ore particle lifting system 700 has a material intake port 7300 located in front, on the side, or below the extended mining device 100. The material intake port 7300 may be directly or indirectly connected to the flowback channel 8300.

[0130] As shown in Figure 3, the flowback channel 8300 is connected to the excavation working face of the extended mining device 100 and is used to transport the ore produced by excavation out of the chamber. In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, the flowback channel 8300 extends in vertical and horizontal directions.

[0131] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, when the ore particle lifting system 700 is a pumping lifting system, the pumping lifting system also includes a mineral material pump 7200 arranged underground, and the mineral material pump 7200 is located in the middle or lower part of the return channel 8300. The outer diameter of the mineral material pump 7200 is smaller than the inner diameter of the process well 8000 with the largest diameter in the mine.

[0132] The ore pump 7200 can be an impeller pump, a screw pump, a reciprocating pump, a diaphragm pump, or a jet pump. An impeller pump or a diaphragm pump is generally preferred. Impeller pumps include centrifugal pumps, diagonal flow pumps, and axial flow pumps. The ore pump 7200 can also be an electric submersible pump. Using an ore pump is advantageous when the ore particles are less than 30 mm hardness.

[0133] In another embodiment, when the ore particle lifting system 700 is a mixed lifting system, the mixed lifting system further includes a low-density particle flow injection channel 8400 and a low-density particle flow injection pump 7600 for conveying the low-density particle flow. The low-density particles are fluids containing microbubbles, fluids containing glass beads, or fluids containing any solid particles with a density lower than that of water. After the low-density particle flow is mixed with the ore, the overall density is reduced so that it can be returned from the return channel 8300. The low-density particle flow injection channel 8400 can be a low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800 passing through the process well, or the annulus in the process well, or the process well itself. When the well depth is large, the present invention makes full use of the vertical depth of the chamber to reduce the density of the returned ore-containing particle flow, which can achieve a good lifting effect. When using this method, water needs to be injected into the chamber and the process well, which can give the mineral material a higher back pressure at the bottom of the well or in the chamber, forming a U-shaped tube effect with the particle flow in the return channel, so as to prompt the mineral material to be sucked into the return channel and returned to the wellhead after mixing with the low-density particle flow.

[0134] In one embodiment, the ore particle lifting system 7 includes a flowback channel 7100 and / or a low-density particle flow injection pipeline 7800 and / or an excavation working fluid injection pipeline;

[0135] The ore particle lifting system 700 also includes a pipe handling system or a pipe winding system, which is used to pull out or wind up the return channel 7100 and / or the low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800 and / or the excavation working fluid injection pipe, so that the return channel 7100 and / or the low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800 and / or the excavation working fluid injection pipe advance synchronously with the extended mining device 100.

[0136] When continuous tubing is used, the pipe can be directly raised and lowered through the pipe reeling system. When the pipeline is connected by multiple detachable pipe strings, the pipe handling system is used to achieve disassembly and assembly. The pipe handling system achieves disassembly and assembly of the pipeline by disassembling and assembling threads, bolts, or clips. The pipe handling system can connect or disassemble multiple sections of pipeline.

[0137] This invention targets deep-earth mining or subsurface mining. High ground pressure at depth makes it difficult to guarantee the long-term integrity of the mine. Therefore, a backward mining method is employed to maximize the protection of the extended mining apparatus 100 and the ore particle lifting system 700. This advantageously allows for post-mining chamber collapse, with at least one of the process shafts 8000 positioned along the forward direction of the extended mining apparatus 100.

[0138] In one embodiment, the ore particle lifting system 700 includes a return channel 7100, and the traction device 200 includes a traction device, which is arranged in front of the extended mining device 100 and is traction-connected to the extended mining device 100; the traction device is used to apply a forward pulling force to the extended mining device 100 to pull the extended mining device 100 forward along the process well 8000; the traction device is a pipeline; the traction device is the return channel 7100 and / or the low-density particle flow injection pipeline 7800 and / or the excavation working fluid injection pipeline.

[0139] The traction device utilizes a traction pipeline, integrated with the aforementioned fluid flow pipeline. This fully utilizes the pipeline to achieve the discharge of ore and simultaneously tow the extended mining device 100. The present invention's use of a traction device greatly facilitates fluid communication with the extended mining device 100. For example, when the excavation working fluid injection pipeline is used to tow the extended mining device 100, the extended mining device 100 can easily obtain circulating fluid. When the return channel 7100 is used to tow the extended mining device 100, the crushed ore can easily enter the return channel 7100 and be transported to the wellhead.

[0140] In one embodiment, a pipe laying machine for recovering the return channel 7100 is also included. The pipe laying machine is arranged outside the wellhead of the process well 8000, and drags the return channel 7100 in a manner of recovering the return channel 7100 from the top, so that the return channel 7100 can move forward together with the extended mining device 100.

[0141] In another embodiment, the power cable 12300 is independent of the ore particle hoisting system 700 and further includes a power cable reeling device 2100 .

[0142] In one embodiment, when the power cable 12300 is integrally connected to the return channel 7100 and / or the low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800 and / or the excavation working fluid injection pipe, the pipe handling system or the pipe winding system is the power cable winding device 2100; the power cable 12300 is arranged in the return channel 7100 and / or the low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800 and / or the excavation working fluid injection pipe, or, the power cable 12300 is arranged in the pipe wall of the return channel 7100 and / or the low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800 and / or the excavation working fluid injection pipe, or, the power cable 12300 is fixed outside the pipe wall of the return channel 7100 and / or the low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800 and / or the excavation working fluid injection pipe.

[0143] Specifically, when it is set in the pipe wall, it is equivalent to setting the cable in the wall thickness space of the pipe. The specific method is: when the pipe is a composite material pipe, the cable can be set in the pipe wall during the fiber winding process, or when the pipe is a metal pipe, a hole can be drilled in the pipe wall and the cable can be set in the hole.

[0144] In one embodiment, a flow channel 1300 is provided inside the crushing mechanism, and a port of the flow channel 1300 is used to spray fluid toward the extended mining device 100 or the rock near the crushing assembly 1100; the extended mining device 100 includes a booster pump 1400, which is connected to the flow channel 1300 provided inside the extended mining device 100, and the booster pump 1400 is used to pump the liquid in the chamber where the extended mining device 100 is located to the flow channel 1300.

[0145] In one embodiment, a flow channel 1300 is provided within the crushing mechanism. The port of the flow channel 1300 is used to inject fluid into the rock near the extended mining device 100 or the crushing assembly 1100. The deep formation fluid-filled well controllable shape mining system also includes a circulating fluid pump connected to the flow channel 1300 via a circulating fluid pipeline. The circulating fluid pump can be installed outside the wellhead.

[0146] In one embodiment, the ore particle lifting system 700 includes a re-crushing device 7400. The ore material is crushed by the re-crushing device 7400 and then transported to the return channel 7100. Furthermore, the re-crushing device 7400 includes a crushing unit, a pressure-resistant body, and a drive mechanism. The crushing unit is a jaw, cone, ball, or rod. The pressure-resistant body has an outer diameter of less than 2 meters and can pass through the process well 8000. The drive mechanism is an electric first motor 9300, a hydraulic first motor 9300, or a pneumatic first motor 9300. The re-crushing device 7400 can perform secondary crushing on the ore or rock crushed by the extended mining device 100, or it can directly crush fallen rocks in the mine. The secondary crushing device serves as a means of reducing the particle size of the crushed rock before entering the pipeline. Regardless of the crushing method selected in the present invention, the crushed rock facilitates smoother entry into the ore particle lifting system 700 and is lifted to the wellhead.

[0147] In one embodiment, the chamber and process well are filled with a density of 0.8-2.4 g / cm 3 The liquid is convenient for providing a certain back pressure for the ore particle lifting system 700. In addition, the injected liquid plays the role of supporting liquid, relying on the pressure of the liquid column to support the mine or assist in lifting the ore.

[0148] In one embodiment, the deep formation liquid-filled well controllable shape mining system includes at least two process wells 8000, which are interconnected, one process well 8000 is used to return mineral materials, and the other process well 8000 is used to inject low-density particle flow.

[0149] The "one injection, one discharge" system, as shown in Figure 1, includes two independent process wells 8000, each used to inject a low-density granular flow and discharge the ore. In this embodiment, each well 8000 provides a flowback channel 8300 and a low-density granular flow injection channel 8400. The process wells 8000 can be used directly as the injection or flowback channels 8300, or a low-density granular flow injection pipeline 7800 and a flowback channel 7100 can be installed in each well to serve as the injection or flowback channels 8300.

[0150] In one embodiment, at least one double-walled pipeline is provided in at least one process well 8000, and the double-walled pipeline includes an inner pipe and an outer pipe, wherein the interior of the inner pipe is used for returning mineral materials, and between the inner pipe and the outer pipe is a low-density particle flow injection channel 8400 for injecting low-density particle flow.

[0151] A "double-wall pipe" is used. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, a concentric double-wall pipe is installed in the process well 8000. The double-wall pipe includes an inner pipe wall and an outer pipe wall. The inner pipe is a return channel 7100, forming a return channel 8300. The returned mineral material can be returned to the wellhead through the return channel 7100; a low-density particle flow injection channel 8400 is formed between the inner pipe wall and the outer pipe wall.

[0152] In one embodiment, the deep formation liquid-filled well controllable form mining system includes at least one process well 8000 with casing completion, and a return channel 7100 is provided in the process well 8000 for returning mineral materials. The annular space between the return channel 7100 and the casing forms a low-density particle flow injection channel 8400 for injecting low-density particle flow.

[0153] The "single-string, same-well injection and production" system, as shown in FIG4 , includes at least one process well 8000 . A flowback channel 7100 is run into process well 8000 . Flowback channel 7100 is further referred to as flowback channel 8300 . The annular space between flowback channel 7100 and the casing or wellbore wall forms a low-density particle flow injection channel 8400 for injecting low-density particle flow. A low-density particle flow injection pump 7600 is connected to low-density particle flow injection channel 8400 . Flowback channel 7100 is connected to a low-density particle recovery device 7700 , located outside the wellhead and used to recover the particle flow returned from flowback channel 7100 along with the ore material.

[0154] In one embodiment, at least one process well 8000 is provided with at least one flowback channel 7100 and at least one low-density particle flow injection pipeline 7800 .

[0155] The "double pipe" system is used, as shown in Figure 5, and includes at least one process well 8000. A return channel 7100 and a low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800 are set into the process well 8000. The return channel 7100 is a return channel 8300. The return channel 7100 and the low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800 form a low-density particle flow injection channel 8400 for injecting low-density particle flow. The low-density particle flow injection pump 7600 is connected to the low-density particle flow injection pipe 7800.

[0156] It should be noted that the flowback channel 8300 does not necessarily need to be in the form of a pipe. It is preferred to use the flowback channel 7100. The low-density particle flow injection channel 8400 can also be a pipe, and the excavation working fluid injection channel can also be a pipe.

[0157] In one embodiment, the deep formation fluid-filled well controllable morphology mining system includes a low-density particle recovery device 7700.

Preferably, the low-density particle flow excavation working fluid base fluid has a viscosity greater than 20 seconds.

[0159] Option 2

[0160] The present invention provides a controllable form mining system for deep stratum liquid-filled wells, which includes: an extended mining device 100, a traction device 200, an ore particle lifting system 700 and a process well 8000, wherein the traction device 200 and the ore particle lifting system 700 are both connected to the extended mining device 100; the extended mining device 100 is arranged at the rear end of the process well 8000, and the traction device 200 and the ore particle lifting system 700 are partially arranged in the process well 8000. The traction device 200 is used to apply a forward pulling force to the extended mining device 100 to pull the extended mining device 100 forward along the process well 8000, and the mineral materials mined by the extended mining device 100 can be transported to the wellhead through the ore particle lifting system 700.

[0161] The traction device 200 also includes a power cable 12300, which is arranged in front of the extended mining device 100 and is used to provide power or communication connection for the extended mining device 100; the crushing assembly 1100 includes a power assembly 1200 and a rock breaking mechanism.

The rock breaking mechanism is a reamer, a drill tool, an impact pick, a reamer or a cutting knife.

[0162] By using the traction device 200 to pull the extended mining device 100, mining can be achieved with only the pre-drilled process well 8000. By applying a pulling force in front of the extended mining device 100, there is no need for a complex thrust system, which can maximize the space at the rear and eliminate the need to send the complex thrust system to the starting position of the excavation, thus reducing the difficulty of construction. Through the integrated forward-moving ore particle lifting system 700, synchronous chip removal is achieved to prevent ore accumulation and timely transport the mined ore to the wellhead, achieving the purpose of using the wellbore to carry out mining operations. In addition, for deep strata, submarine strata and other environments, as little equipment as possible is used to carry out mining operations using the process well 8000. The ore particle lifting system 700 is set in the front and moves forward with the extended mining device 100 under the traction of the traction device 200, which can prevent the collapse of the goaf or the impact of falling objects on the extended mining device 100 or the return of ore. The present invention can be applied to the excavation of hydropower tunnels, traffic tunnels, pipeline power grid tunnels, underground space construction, lanes, and mines, and can also be used for the excavation of chambers for mining, transportation, and storage.

[0163] The traction device 200 is disposed in front of the extended mining device 100 and can pull the extended mining device 100 forward. It also includes a power cable connected to the extended mining device 100. The crushing assembly 1100 includes a drive unit and a rotating crushing tool or an impact crushing tool connected to the drive unit. The rotating crushing tool includes a reamer, a driving head, or a cutting head, and the impact crushing tool includes a percussion pick or a drill. The major axis of the cross-section of the extended mining device 100 perpendicular to its length does not exceed three times the maximum diameter of the reamer, driving head, or cutting head, or eight times the maximum diameter of the percussion pick or drill. Furthermore, the length of the extension arm 12200 is greater than five times the diameter of the reamer, driving head, or cutting head, or greater than ten times the diameter of the percussion pick or drill. The internal diameter of the equipment access shaft is between 0.2 and 2 meters, and the length of the extension arm 12200 is greater than three times the diameter of the equipment access shaft. The control mechanism 12400 is a hydraulic piston or a first motor 9300, which is used to drive the expansion arm 12200 to achieve opening and closing movements.

[0164] In one embodiment, the extended mining device 100 includes a crushing assembly 1100 and a flow channel 1300. The port of the flow channel 1300 is used to inject fluid into the crushing assembly 1100 or rocks near the crushing assembly 1100 to reduce the temperature of the crushing assembly 1100 or the rocks to be crushed. Specifically, the extended mining device 100 includes the crushing assembly 1100 and a power assembly 1200. The crushing assembly 1100 may include a reamer, which may be a rotary reamer or an impact reamer. The power assembly 1200 includes a first electric motor 9300, a first hydraulic motor 9300, or a first pneumatic motor 9300.

[0165] Furthermore, the deep formation fluid-filled well controllable morphology mining system includes a circulating liquid pump and a circulating liquid pipeline, and the circulating liquid pump is connected to the flow channel 1300 through the circulating liquid pipeline. Specifically, the output end of the circulating liquid pump is interconnected with the input end of the circulating liquid pipeline, and the output end of the circulating liquid pipeline is interconnected with the flow channel 1300 inside the crushing assembly 1100.

[0166] In one embodiment, the circulating fluid pipeline includes a fluid supply string, which is at least partially disposed within the process well 8000. The string can be drill pipe, coiled tubing, composite tubing, or armored hose. In another embodiment, the process well 8000 itself constitutes part or all of the circulating fluid pipeline. The process well 8000 housing the traction device 200 can be the same process well 8000 as the process well 8000 housing the circulating fluid pipeline or the process well 8000 constituting the circulating fluid pipeline. Preferably, at least one traction device 200 and the circulating fluid pipeline are located in the same process well 8000.

[0167] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG7 , the extended mining device 100 includes a booster pump 1400 connected to the flow channel 1300. The booster pump 1400 is used to pump the liquid at the bottom of the channel created by the extended mining device 100 into the flow channel 1300. The booster pump 1400 can be installed at the bottom of the well to directly pump the drilling fluid at the bottom of the well into the flow channel 1300 to cool the crushing assembly 1100.

[0168] In one embodiment, the system includes a process well 8000 arranged along the forward digging direction of the extended mining device 100, a return channel 7100 is provided through the process well 8000, and the end of the return channel 7100 is connected to the front of the extended mining device 100 for recovering the mineral materials produced by the mining of the extended mining device 100.

[0169] The ore particle hoisting system 700 is located in front of the extended mining apparatus 100 and moves with the extended mining apparatus 100. The ore particle hoisting system 700 includes a flowback channel 7100, and the traction device 200 includes a traction device. The flowback channel 7100 and the traction device are integrated into one structure. The ore particle hoisting system 700 can act as the traction device 200, applying a pulling force to the extended mining apparatus 100. At least one flowback channel 7100 and at least one traction device are integrated into one structure and are arranged in the same process well 8000. A pipe rack for recovering the flowback channel 7100 is also included. The pipe rack is located outside the wellhead of the process well 8000 and drags the flowback channel 7100 by recovering it from the top, allowing it to advance with the extended mining apparatus 100.

[0170] In one embodiment, at least one process well 8000 itself serves as the flowback channel 7100 . For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , one process well 8000 itself serves as a section of the flowback channel 7100 .

[0171] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG7 , an ore particle lifting system 700 includes a flowback channel 7100 and a material pump 7200. The material pump 7200 is mounted on the extended mining device 100 and connected to the flowback channel 7100. The material pump 7200 is used to increase the velocity or pressure of the circulating fluid containing the material, facilitating its discharge through the flowback channel 7100. The material pump 7200 can be a centrifugal pump, impeller pump, screw pump, or diaphragm pump. As shown in FIG7 , the material is drawn in through a material intake port 7300 and delivered to the wellhead by the material pump 7200. The material pump 7200 can be an electric submersible pump.

[0172] In one embodiment, the ore particle lifting system 700 includes a re-crushing device 7400. The ore is crushed by the re-crushing device 7400 and then transported to the return channel 7100. The re-crushing device 7400 is used to further crush the mined rock to facilitate pipeline transportation.

[0173] In one embodiment, the traction device 200 includes a traction tool, and the traction tool includes a traction cable, a rigging, or a traction rod.

[0174] In one embodiment, the process well 8000 includes a connected horizontal well section 8100 and a communication well section 8200. As shown in FIG1 , the communication well section 8200 is a vertical shaft extending to the surface. As the extended mining device 100 advances, the power cable 12300 is reeled in by the power cable reeling device 2100. The power cable reeling device 2100 does not need to be located underground, facilitating its installation.

[0175] As shown in Figure 5, the deep formation liquid-filled well controllable form mining system includes a power cable reeling device 2100, which is arranged at the outlet of the communicating well section 8200. The traction device can pass through the horizontal well section 8100 and the communicating well section 8200 and then be connected to the power cable reeling device 2100.

[0176] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the extended mining device 100 includes a base 12100, a crushing assembly 1100, and an expansion arm 12200. The expansion arm 12200 is mounted on the base 12100, and the crushing assembly 1100 is mounted on the expansion arm 12200. The expansion arm 12200 is capable of driving the crushing assembly 1100 relative to the base 12100. The crushing assembly 1100 is hingedly connected to the base 12100, and the expansion arm 12200 serves as an expansion mechanism, extending the mining range of the crushing assembly 1100. It should be noted that the base is a component of the equipment used to secure the extended mining device and does not represent any special function. All components of the extended mining device other than the mining arm can be considered the base. The base can be secured to the extended mining device by supporting legs or inserted into a process well.

[0177] The specific implementation method of the extended operation device described in this embodiment is to achieve extended mining operations through an articulated connection. Technical solutions for achieving extended operations through other methods also belong to the extended operation device described in the present invention.

[0178] In one embodiment, the expansion working device is an expansion working device connected by a hinge structure, as shown in FIG6 to FIG8 , the expansion arm 12200 and the base 12100 are connected by a hinge structure.

[0179] As another equivalent alternative, as shown in Figures 11-12, the expansion arm 12200 is connected to the base 12100 via a plug-in mechanism 1500. During operation, the expansion arm 12200 and the base 12100 can be lowered sequentially, and the base 12100 and the expansion arm 12200 can be plugged and connected at the bottom of the well via the plug-in mechanism 1500. The present invention achieves equipment transfer through an equipment access shaft, which itself limits the size of the equipment. Connecting the various components of the expansion mining device through the plug-in mechanism 1500 can fully utilize the space in the equipment access shaft, allowing the relatively larger expansion arm 12200 to be lowered even when the diameter of the equipment access shaft is limited.

[0180] Process well 8000 is drilled by using a directional drilling device. The directional drilling operation needs to be carried out according to the designed trajectory of the chamber.

[0181] There can be one or more process wells 8000. There can be one or more traction devices 200 and ore particle hoisting systems 700. The traction devices 200, ore particle hoisting systems 700, and liquid supply pipelines can be installed in different process wells 8000. Preferably, to ensure more stable traction, at least two to four parallel process wells 8000 are required for installing the traction devices 200. The trajectory of the process wells 8000 should match the designed trajectory of the chamber.

[0182] Option 3

[0183] The present invention provides a controllable morphology mining system for deep-stratum liquid-filled wells. FIG9 shows a partial top view thereof. At least two expansion arms 12200 are provided on either side of a base 12100. Each expansion arm 12200 is equipped with a crushing assembly 1100, each driven by an independent power assembly 1200 for crushing ore. A flowback channel 7100 is provided in front of the base 12100 and serves as a traction device 200 for traction. A mineral material collector 7500 is provided at the rear of the base 12100 for collecting mineral material. The mineral material collected by the mineral material collector 7500 is drawn into the flowback channel 7100 through a mineral material intake port 7300 and is then pumped to the wellhead by a mineral material pump 7200.

[0184] The pulling device 200 may be a casing or a drill pipe, and the power cable reeling device 2100 may be a pipe laying machine. The mineral material pump 7200 may be a diaphragm pump, a vane pump, or a centrifugal pump.

[0185] Option 4

[0186] The present invention provides a controllable mining system for deep-stratum fluid-filled wells, a partial schematic diagram of which is shown in Figure 10. The extended operating device in this embodiment is an extended collection device 9000, which includes an extended collection assembly 9100 and a collection arm 9400. The collection assembly is mounted on the collection arm, and a control mechanism is used to drive the collection arm to expand. The collection assembly includes one or more of a rake, a suction device 9200, a suction pipe, a shovel, or a bucket.

[0187] In one embodiment, a suction device 9200 is used to scrape the ore and draw it into a collection arm 9400. A first motor 9300 is also located at the rear of the collection device 9200 and is in transmission connection with the collection device 9200 to agitate the ore for easy aspiration or collection. The collection arm 9400 is provided with a through-channel, within which an ore suction pipe 9500 is disposed, communicating with the flowback channel 8300.

[0188] Plan 5

[0189] The present invention provides a deep formation liquid-filled well controllable shape mining system, as shown in Figures 13 to 38, the deep formation liquid-filled well controllable shape mining system includes: an extended operating device, an ore particle lifting system 90 and at least one process well 16; the extended operating device includes an extended mining device and / or an extended collection device; wherein the extended operating device can move along the process well 16, and the extended operating device can be transported to the operating position through the process well 16; the extended mining device is used to realize the excavation of the chamber 121 along the process well 16; or the extended collection device is used to realize the collection or absorption of ore particles in the chamber 121 along the process well 16; the ore particle lifting system 90 is partially set in the process well 16, and the extended operating device The generated ore particles can be transported to the wellhead 15 through the ore particle lifting system 90; the ore particle lifting system 90 includes a return channel 14, and the ore particles are transported outward through the return channel 14; one or more of the process wells 16 are ore particle lifting process wells, and the return channel 14 is arranged in the ore particle lifting process well; in the present invention, the wellhead of the process well 16 is located on the surface or on an offshore platform; when the wellhead of the process well 16 is located on the surface, the inner diameter of the process well 16 is less than 2 meters, the vertical depth is greater than 100 meters and the aspect ratio is greater than 100; when the wellhead of the process well 16 is located on an offshore platform, the inner diameter of the process well 16 is less than 2 meters, and the process well 16 is at least 5 meters in seawater and at least another 20 meters in underwater formations.

[0190] In this embodiment, the portion of the ore particle lifting system 90 disposed in the process well 16 includes at least the aforementioned flowback channel 14. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the process well 16 has well sections extending in the vertical and horizontal directions. The vertical depth and horizontal displacement of the process well 16 are both greater than 100 meters, and the total depth is greater than 300 meters. The process well 16 includes a channel well 1, and the channel well 1 includes a well section penetrating the interior of the mineral deposit. The flowback channel 14 also has well sections extending in the vertical and horizontal directions. It should be noted that when the deep formation fluid-filled well controllable form mining system is used for marine mining, it should also include a watertight pipe. The watertight pipe is a portion of the process well 16 and is located above the process well 16. The watertight pipe is disposed in the interval from the seabed to the sea level. The watertight pipe is used to isolate the entire deep formation fluid-filled well controllable form mining system from the marine environment.

[0191] It should be noted that when there is only one process well 16, it serves as the sole access channel for ore pellet production and must be used as an ore pellet hoisting process well. It can be temporarily used to lower equipment when it is necessary to raise or lower the expanded mining equipment. When there are two or more process wells 16, it is more preferable to use one process well 16 as a dedicated access well and the other process well 16 as a dedicated ore pellet hoisting process well.

[0192] In the present invention, the chamber 121 and the process well 16 are filled with a fluid having liquid properties, so that the crushed ore particles are discharged in the form of a particle flow. The fluid filled in the chamber 121 and the process well 16 is a liquid, and the density of the liquid is 0.8-2.4g / cm 3 .

[0193] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the extended operation device also includes: a measurement module for measuring, sensing or detecting mining operations or collection operations; a control module for controlling the operation of the extended operation device; the deep formation liquid-filled well controllable shape mining system also includes a power line 213 for obtaining energy for the extended operation device; the power line 213 is arranged in the process well 16, and the two ends of the power line 213 can be respectively connected to the extended operation device and the power supply outside the wellhead when supplying power to the extended operation device; the deep formation liquid-filled well controllable shape mining system also includes a communication device for obtaining mining operation information outside the wellhead, and the communication device includes a wireless communication device and / or a communication line and / or a power line.

[0194] In this embodiment, the extended operation device is pre-connected to the power line before being lowered into the process well 16. Alternatively, after the extended operation device is lowered, the extended operation device is connected to the power line underground. When a wireless communication device is used, wireless communication terminals are respectively provided at the extended operation device and outside the wellhead. When communication is performed via a communication line, the two ends of the communication line can be connected to the communication terminal inside the extended operation device and the communication terminal outside the wellhead, respectively. When the power line is used as the communication line, a modulation device and a demodulation device are also required to modulate the communication signal into the power line and demodulate the communication signal from the power line.

[0195] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, at least one process well 16 is an equipment access well; the extended mining device includes a crushing assembly and an expansion assembly; the expansion assembly is used to drive the crushing assembly to expand, so as to realize the contracted state and the expanded state of the extended mining device; the crushing assembly includes a power assembly and a crushing mechanism connected to the power assembly; when the extended mining device is in the contracted state, it can be transported through the equipment access well.

[0196] Among them, when there is only one process well 16, the return channel 14 is located in the process well 16, and the process well 16 is also used as an equipment channel well; when lifting and lowering equipment, the process well 16 is used as a channel well; or, when there are at least two process wells 16, one of the process wells 16 is used as a channel well, and the channel well has a through channel for lifting or lowering the above-mentioned extended mining device, and the other process well 16 is an ore particle lifting process well, and the above-mentioned ore particle lifting system 90 is arranged in the ore particle lifting process well.

[0197] As shown in Figures 13 to 17, when there is only one process well 16, the process well is used as both an ore particle lifting process well and a lifting and lowering equipment. Through the preset process well 16, the extended operating device can be transported to the starting position of the operation. The extended operating device moves along the process well 16, and the ore particles are transported outward through the return channel 14 to realize mining. The process well 16 is relatively small, and through the extended operating device, a chamber with a larger mining working face can be formed, so that mining can be carried out in areas with relatively large cross-sections, which not only reduces the difficulty of mining in complex areas, but also helps to improve mining efficiency. The return channel 14 includes a return channel 14 passing through the ore particle lifting process well 16 or an annulus in the ore particle lifting process well 16 or the ore particle lifting process well 16 itself. The chamber formed after three-dimensional expansion of a branch shaft is defined as a chamber. A shaft conveyor system transports mined ore to the wellhead via a passageway. Alternatively, a traffic shaft may also include a drainage shaft connected to the chamber, passageway, or branch shaft. The ore conveyor system transports mined ore to the wellhead via the drainage shaft. The ore conveyor system includes pipe strings and other ore-conveying pipes, or pumps that drive fluid flow within the shaft chamber.

[0198] The ore particle hoisting system 90 employed in the present invention requires ore particles to be smaller than a certain size, with an average diameter of at least less than 50 mm. The crushing assembly can be used to crush ore on rock walls or working surfaces, as well as large fallen rocks in mines. Ore particles produced by the extended mining device can be transported to the wellhead via the ore particle hoisting system 90.

[0199] The wellhead of the process well 16 is located on the surface or on an offshore platform. When the process well 16 is located on the surface, the inner diameter of the process well 16 is less than 2 meters, the vertical depth is greater than 100 meters, and the aspect ratio is greater than 100. When the wellhead of the process well 16 is located on an offshore platform, the inner diameter of the process well 16 is less than 2 meters, and the process well 16 includes at least 5 meters in seawater and at least another 20 meters in underwater strata. It should be noted that the process well 16 in the present invention does not necessarily refer to a specific process well 16, and may also be located in two or more process wells 16. When the system is used for marine mining, it should also include a riser. The riser is part of the process well and is located above the process well. It is located between the seabed and sea level and is used to isolate the entire mining system from the marine environment.

[0200] This invention aims to address deep mining challenges, primarily proposing the use of wellbore excavation. Therefore, it proposes a method of lifting ore particles using crushing combined with low-density particle flow. The advantages increase with deeper wells. Furthermore, a vertical depth of greater than 200 meters for process well 16 refers to an operating chamber depth greater than 200 meters. 200 meters refers to the distance from the wellhead to the mine floor, or from the ground or sea surface to the mine. This depth is required for the low-density particle flow to achieve its lifting effect. Chambers can include mines, tunnels, and other structures.

[0201] It should be noted that a chamber includes underground spaces that are elongated, arched, quasi-circular, quasi-elliptical, or other irregularly shaped. A chamber can be formed by multiple independently mined chambers distributed along the axis of a process well, or a long, rectangular chamber formed by mining along the axis of a process well. For purposes of this invention, the long axis length of a chamber generally does not exceed the effective length of the portion of the process well that passes through the mineral deposit.

[0202] The present invention targets terrestrial deposits at a certain depth, deposits prone to collapse or water permeability in geological environments, or deposits within marine seabed formations. It is applicable to conditions prone to water permeability, rockbursts, roof collapse, and collapse. By utilizing the wellbore as a communication channel, the expanded mining device can use an expansion arm to drive the tunneling head to excavate a group of chambers, enabling ore collection. Furthermore, the ore particle lifting system 90 can use fluid mixing to transport the ore to the wellhead via a flowback channel provided within the process well. Therefore, within the specific context of the present invention, the size and form of the process well 16 are limited, specifically distinguishing it from mining methods using traditional tunnels and mining faces. Marine mining using the present invention is significantly different from existing seabed mining methods, primarily in that the minerals mined by this technology are located within the seabed formation, not on the traditional seabed surface. The present invention provides a mining method and system that first goes into the sea and then into the ground, significantly different from existing technologies. The entire mining operation system in the present invention does not need to be in contact with seawater, that is, it can be completely isolated from the marine environment through the watertight pipe.

[0203] The cross-sectional major axis of the extended mining device 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the process well 16 with the largest diameter in the mine, so that the extended mining device 1 can be transported to the operation starting position through the process well 16.

[0204] In the present invention, the starting position of the operation is generally at or near the bottom of the well, and mining is achieved by extending the mining device or the extended collection device in a reverse mining manner, which can avoid post-mining space collapse.

[0205] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the expansion assembly includes an expansion arm 122 and a control mechanism 124. The control mechanism 124 is used to drive the expansion arm 122 away from or close to the axis of the channel shaft; the crushing assembly 11 is mounted on the expansion arm 122; the length of the expansion arm 122 is greater than 3 times the diameter of the channel shaft. When the expansion mining device is in the expanded state, the expansion amplitude D (shown in Figure 16) of the expanded mining working face can reach more than 3 times the diameter of the process shaft. Among them, the power assembly 12 provides rock-breaking power for the crushing assembly 11 underground; the control mechanism 124 can adopt a hydraulic cylinder or other joint actuator.

[0206] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the extended mining device also includes an equipment body 21, an extension arm 122 is installed on the equipment body 21, and the crushing assembly 11 is installed on the extension arm 122. The control mechanism 124 is arranged between the equipment body 21 and the extension arm 122, and is used to drive the extension arm 122 to achieve expansion. The extension arm 122 can drive the crushing assembly 11 to move relative to the equipment body 21.

[0207] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the crushing assembly 11 is a tunneling head, reamer, drill, or impact pick, and the length of the extension arm 122 is greater than three times the diameter of the access shaft. In the present invention, conventional tunneling heads, reamers, transverse milling and excavation heads, and longitudinal milling and excavation heads are all considered tunneling heads. When the crushing assembly 11 is a bolter, the power assembly 12 is a fluid motor, and the crushing assembly is a reamer, tunneling head, impact pick, or drill. The control mechanism 124 is a joint actuator, specifically a hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, motor, or electric joint, which is used to drive the extension arm 122 to achieve opening and closing movement.

[0208] When the crushing assembly 11 is an impact crushing tool, the impact crushing tool includes an impact pick or a drill, the long axis of the cross section of the extended mining device perpendicular to its own length direction does not exceed 8 times the maximum diameter of the impact pick or the drill, and the length of the extension arm 122 is greater than 10 times the diameter of the impact pick or the drill.

[0209] In one embodiment, the deep formation fluid-filled wellbore controllable mining system preferably includes a traction device, including a traction apparatus. The traction apparatus is disposed between the extended mining apparatus and the wellhead and is traction-connected to the extended mining apparatus. The traction apparatus is configured to apply a forward or backward pulling force to the extended mining apparatus to pull the extended mining apparatus forward or backward along the process well. The traction apparatus may be, but is not limited to, a pipe, a tubing string, or a flexible tubing string. The traction apparatus is configured to inject fluid into the chamber to circulate ore particles out of the wellhead, including both forward and reverse circulation methods.

[0210] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the extended working device includes an extended working device connected by a hinged structure, or an extended working device plugged and assembled by a plug-in mechanism.

[0211] Furthermore, the extended operating device includes an equipment body, which includes a plurality of sections hingedly connected to each other, with controllable hinge structures and / or freely movable hinge structures provided between each section; and a travel assembly is provided on the equipment body.

[0212] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 15 to 19, the extended mining device includes a device body and an extension assembly for extending the mining range. The extension assembly includes an extension arm 122 and a control mechanism 124.

[0214] Alternatively, the extension assembly is a dual-degree-of-freedom or multi-degree-of-freedom control mechanism capable of driving the extension arm 122 to achieve at least dual-degree-of-freedom movement relative to the device body, and the extension arm 122 is connected to the device body via an articulated connection and / or a rotational connection;

[0215] Alternatively, the expansion assembly includes at least two controllable sections connected in sequence, wherein the controllable sections are connected in sequence, and each controllable section includes a front portion and a rear portion that are controlled to rotate relative to each other, and an opening and closing control component or a joint control component that drives the front portion and the rear portion to rotate in a controlled manner, wherein the opening and closing control component and / or the joint control component serve as a deflection module;

[0216] Alternatively, the expansion assembly includes an expansion arm 122 consisting of at least two controllable sections connected in sequence, and adjacent controllable sections are connected in sequence by means of hinged or rotational connections. A control mechanism 124 is further provided at the rear end of the expansion arm 122. The control mechanism 124 includes a driver with at least two degrees of freedom control. The driver pulls the controllable section through a pulling force transmission structure to drive the expansion arm 122 to achieve three-dimensional motion. The driver serves as a deflection module, and the pulling force transmission structure is a rope, belt or chain.

[0217] Power lines are provided in the process well and / or other wells connected to the process well.

[0218] In this embodiment, the expansion assembly has a deflection module and / or a rotation module. The deflection module drives the mining assembly or the rock splitting assembly to move in a direction away from the axis of the channel shaft, and the rotation module drives the mining assembly or the rock splitting assembly to move around the axis of the channel shaft or the axis of the equipment body, so as to drive the mining assembly or the rock splitting assembly to expand the mining range. Since the expanded mining device must have the ability to pass through the wellbore, the expansion assembly controls the expanded mining device as a whole to switch between the folded and unfolded states or controls the expanded mining device to achieve a larger range of mining operations and to fold in the process of pulling out of the well or going into the bottom of the well, that is, to switch between a first state of passing through the process well and a second state of performing mining work.

[0219] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 17 to 19 , the deep formation liquid-filled well controllable morphology mining system includes a plurality of branch wells connected to the process well 16;

[0220] The expansion operation device includes a crushing assembly, an expansion assembly, and an equipment body inserted into the branch shaft for mining operations. The expansion assembly includes a front-end expansion assembly and a lateral extension section. The front-end expansion assembly is used to drive the crushing assembly to extend in the branch shaft and to stretch and / or adjust the direction in the branch shaft.

[0221] The curvature of the connecting section between the branch well and the process well is greater than 1° / m, and the expansion assembly is connected to the equipment body through the lateral extension section, which includes a flexible pipe string or a plurality of articulated short sections articulated in sequence.

[0222] The configuration of the front-end extension assembly is as follows:

The expansion arm 122 is connected to the front end of the lateral extension section, and the crushing assembly 11 is connected to the front end of the expansion arm 122. Under the action of the drive mechanism, the two ends of the expansion arm 122 move relative to each other in a direction away from the axis of the branch well to achieve extended mining.

[0224] The chamber formed after the three-dimensional expansion mining operation of the branch well is a cavern, and the ore particle lifting system 90 also includes a shaft ore conveying device, which conveys the mined ore to the outside of the wellhead through the channel well, or the process well 16 also includes a discharge well connected to the cavern, the channel well and / or the branch well, and the shaft ore conveying device conveys the mined ore to the outside of the wellhead through the discharge well.

[0225] Furthermore, the rock splitting assembly is disposed on the expansion assembly, which is also provided with at least two control mechanisms 124 or dual-degree-of-freedom control mechanisms that drive the movement of the expansion arm 122. The crushing assembly 11 is disposed in front of or on the side of the expansion arm 122. Under the action of the control mechanism 124, the expansion arm 122 moves relative to the branch shaft in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the branch shaft, thereby driving the crushing assembly 11 to accurately crush the ore around the branch shaft. As shown in FIG24 , when the crushing assembly 11 is arranged on the side of the expansion arm 122, the crushing assembly 11 is preferably a reciprocating cutting saw, which can be driven by a crushing power assembly. The crushing power assembly is a reciprocating electric power assembly or a reciprocating hydraulic power assembly, and the power circuit is an electric circuit, a high-pressure fluid circuit, and / or a hydraulic circuit.

The crushing power assembly is an electric motor or hydraulic motor, and the power circuit is an electric circuit, a high-pressure fluid circuit, and / or a hydraulic circuit. The chain cutter head is driven by the crushing power assembly to continuously cycle and crush the ore.

The rotary drive structure 224 can be a hydraulic motor, a hydraulic cylinder, or other equipment. In this embodiment, a rotation control mechanism is disposed on the fixed portion of the swivel joint 225, driving the rotating portion of the swivel joint 225 to rotate, thereby driving the three-dimensional expansion segment to rotate about the axis of the device body 21 or the channel shaft. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixed component is a latch 219 that slides with the device body 21, and the reciprocating drive component is a sliding drive module 2191 that drives the latch 219 to slide. The wall of the channel shaft or a fixed object within the channel shaft also has a slot for the latch 219 to insert. When the device body 21 is moved into position, the sliding drive module 2191 is controlled to operate, inserting the latch 219 into the slot to lock the three-dimensional controllable expansion mining equipment.

[0329] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG42 , the three-dimensional expansion segment includes at least two controllable segments 221 connected in sequence. The controllable segments 221 are fixedly connected in sequence. Each controllable segment 221 includes a front portion and a rear portion that are controlled to rotate relative to each other, as well as an opening and closing control assembly and / or a joint control assembly 221 that drives the controlled rotation of the front and rear portions. The opening and closing control assembly and the joint control assembly 221 both serve as deflection modules. Specifically, as shown in FIG42 , for two adjacent controllable segments 221, the rear portion of the front segment is fixedly connected to the front portion of the rear segment. An opening and closing control assembly and a joint control assembly 2211 that drives the controlled rotation of the two portions are further provided between the front and rear portions of the controllable segments 221. The rotation axes between the two portions of different controllable segments 221 are non-parallel. When the front and rear portions of each controllable segment 221 rotate relative to each other, the three-dimensional expansion segment formed by the controllable segments 221 as a whole can drive the mining assembly / rock splitting assembly to move along two degrees of freedom. The opening and closing control component and the joint control component 2211 in this embodiment serve as a deflection module, and specifically, different actuators such as electric motors and pneumatic pistons can be selected.

[0330] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG43 , a three-dimensional expansion segment includes at least two sequentially connected controllable segments 221, with adjacent controllable segments 221 being sequentially connected by hinged or rotational connections. An expansion control mechanism is also provided at the rear end of the three-dimensional expansion segment. The expansion control mechanism includes a driver 223 having at least two degrees of freedom. The driver 223 pulls the controllable segments 221 of the three-dimensional expansion segment via a pull-and-transmit structure 2231 to drive the three-dimensional expansion segment to achieve three-dimensional motion. The driver 223 serves as a deflection module, and the pull-and-transmit structure 2231 is a rope, belt, or chain. Specifically, as shown in FIG43 , three ring structures are welded to the side of each controllable segment 221, through which the pull-and-transmit structure 2231 passes. The sides of all controllable segments 221 have three rows of ring structures, evenly arranged around the axis of the three-dimensional expansion segment. Each pull-and-transmit structure 2231 passes through a row of ring structures and connects to the controllable segment 221 at the front end of the three-dimensional expansion segment. The three drivers 223 can provide motion control in at least two directions. By retracting and extending the pulling and force-transmitting structure 2231, the three-dimensional expansion segment formed by the controllable segments 221 can be driven to swing in different directions to achieve three-dimensional motion. A reset mechanism is also installed between two adjacent controllable segments 221. The reset mechanism is used to provide a force to restore the coaxial state between the controllable segments 221, providing bending elasticity for the three-dimensional expansion segment formed by the controllable segments 221. When the driver 223 controls the three-dimensional expansion segment through the pulling and force-transmitting structure 2231, the arm shape of the three-dimensional expansion segment can be guaranteed to be stable. The reset mechanism can be a spring sheet connected between each controllable segment 221, or an elastic rod inserted into each controllable segment 221. The structure and principle of the reset mechanism and the structure acting on the soft robotic arm (flexible robotic arm) to maintain its elasticity are equivalent and will not be repeated here. The aforementioned driver 223 is capable of retracting and releasing a wound rope. For example, the driver 223 utilizes an electric motor from an electrically driven actuator, and the rope is wound around the output shaft of the electric motor or around a rotating drum in transmission connection with the output shaft of the electric motor. Using ropes as the pulling force transmission structure 2231, at least three ropes are used to retract and release ropes from different directions around the three-dimensional expansion segment, thereby driving the three-dimensional expansion segment composed of several controllable segments 221 to swing in different directions. The reset mechanism in this embodiment is an elastic member, which is used to provide a force to restore the coaxial state between the controllable segments 221. This can maintain the shape of the three-dimensional expansion segment when the rope pulls the three-dimensional expansion segment to offset. The elastic member can be an elastic tube, elastic rod, or leaf spring. In addition, the number of pulling force transmission structures 2231 can also be increased. For example, two independent drivers 223 can be used in conjunction with two pairs, or four, of pulling force transmission structures 2231 to achieve control. Taking the rope as the pulling force transmission structure 2231 as an example, each pair of pulling force transmission structures 2231 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the axis of the three-dimensional expansion segment. When the driver 223 retracts the rope on one side, it releases the rope on the other side. The control scheme for multiple pairs of ropes is similar.

[0331] It should be understood that the above-mentioned driver 223 represents the minimum structural unit that can completely realize the retraction and extension of a pulling force transmission structure 2231. In other embodiments, it can also represent a structural module that can simultaneously retract and extend multiple pulling force transmission structures 2231.

[0332] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG44 , a mechanical ore lifting system is described as an important form of an ore particle lifting system 90. This mechanical ore particle lifting system includes process wells 16, at least one of which is configured as a ore discharge well.

[0333] In addition, the mechanical ore particle lifting system also includes a scraper conveyor system or a chain bucket conveyor system, which is installed in a mine discharge shaft having an inner diameter of less than 1 meter, and the mine discharge shaft is connected to the chamber 121. In this embodiment, the scraper conveyor system includes a scraper 340 and a chain 341. The scraper 340 is connected to the chain 341, and the scraper 340 is driven by the chain 341. The ore mined by the extended mining device is transported to the outside of the shaft through the scraper 340 conveyor system or the chain bucket conveyor system in the mine discharge shaft.
