Research on reasonable layout parameters of working faces based on the concept of harmonic extraction to reduce the damage of coal seam waiting for upward mining

Abstract

Based on the idea of harmonic extraction, the problem of reducing the damage of the coal seam waiting for upward mining. Using the theoretical analysis method, a schematic diagram of coordinated mining along the dip direction of coal seam is established, and the calculation method of reasonable layout parameters of coal seam working face early mining is given. Based on the upward mining problem of the No.1 coal seam in the fifth panel of Zaoquan Coal Mine, the influence parameters of the No.2 coal seam, No.6 coal seam and No.7 coal seam mining on the No.1 coal seam were determined by similar simulation test. Then, the layout parameters of working face were determined. The research method of numerical calculation was used to evaluate the degree and uniformity of movement and deformation of the No.1 coal seam, combining five indicators: subsidence, horizontal movement, inclined deformation, curvature deformation, and horizontal deformation. The results indicate that when the working face is arranged using the layout parameters provided in this article, it can promote the further subsidence of the No.1 coal seam at the position of the remaining coal pillar. The movement and deformation indicators of the No.1 coal seam all reach the most uniform degree of the geological mining conditions, which can effectively offset the uneven deformation problem of the No.1 coal seam caused by the influence of the remaining coal pillars, making multiple mining operations a favorable condition for upward mining and achieving the goal of reducing the damage of the No.1 coal seam.
