Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a housing for blasting, and in particular relates to an annular shaped-charge housing for blasting and a method of using the same, which belongs to the technical field of energy gathering effect.

BACKGROUND ART

The energy gathering effect is a phenomenon in which the energy flow density is increased and the blasting effect is enhanced by gathering explosive products via the application of explosive loading in a special shaped manner. At present, the shaped-charge explosive loading has been widely used in residential explosion equipment and blasting engineering, such as cutting stones and steel plates, cutting shipwrecks and pile foundations. In geotechnical engineering, when people conduct the profile-controlling blasting, an energy gathering technique is used to control a cracking direction of rocks, so as to form flat profile planes. Currently, the most widely used shaped-charge device for blasting is the longitudinal and linear shaped-charge pipe, and the housing of the shaped-charge pipe can facilitate to improve the accuracy of profile controlling.

In blasting engineering, particularly in the excavation blasting for tunnels, roadway, underground chamber, and the like, the drill-holes are used for cut holes and breaking holes in addition to the perimeter holes for profile controlling. The cut holes are mainly used for blasting a new free face under the action of a relatively large rock clamping. And, the breaking holes are mainly blast holes for performing the tunnelling blasting. In the blasting process, a cut effect needs to be improved, and there is also a certain requirement on the planeness of a new tunnel face being formed after the breaking holes blasted, With regard to improving the cut effect, it is mainly considered that how to improve the energy utilization rate of explosives, so as to enable the explosion to create more cracks and thus break more rocks. In order to improve the planeness of the tunnel face, there is a certain requirement on the accuracy of the depth of the blast holes, and further the control of the energy distribution of the explosives in the blast holes. In addition, the open-pit bench blasting also needs a flat platform for the bench blasting. Thus, how to improve the planeness of the platform is also worthy of studying.

At present, numerous researchers use the energy gathering theory for the cut and the profile controlling. The energy gathering of the perimeter holes for blasting is the most widely applied, so as to control the profile. There are few researchers study on circumferential energy gathering at the bottoms of holes for blasting, and related invention patents are even fewer. The study of increasing the cut effect via the shaped-charge explosive loading is also very rare, so people mainly focus on multi-directional shaped-charge cut.
