The invention discloses a
coal mine roof pre-splitting device and a pre-splitting method. The
coal mine roof pre-splitting device comprises a plurality of blasting pipes which are sequentially arranged in the extending direction of a blasting hole. The blasting
pipe comprises an outer ring wall and an inner ring wall, an outer cavity is defined by the outer ring wall and the inner ring wall, an inner cavity used for containing explosives is defined by the inner ring wall, the outer cavity comprises an energy gathering cavity and a water cavity used for containing water, and the size of the energy gathering cavity in the circumferential direction of the blasting
pipe is gradually increased outwards in the radial direction of the blasting
pipe so that an energy gathering opening formed outwards in the radial direction of the blasting pipe can be formed. According to the
coal mine roof presplitting device,
kinetic energy and
potential energy of explosives can be converted into
kinetic energy and
potential energy of water, the water is converted into high-pressure
water jet after passing through the energy gathering cavity, the high-pressure
water jet is jetted outwards along the energy gathering opening of the energy gathering cavity, the energy of the high-pressure
water jet is concentrated, and the explosive blasting energy
utilization rate is high; and a relatively large and tidy crack can be formed in a hard rock stratum of a coal mine roof, so that a relatively good pre-splitting effect is achieved.
