The present invention relates to the field of downhole safety protection in coal mines, in particular to a self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars and a using method thereof.
With the rapid increase of mining depth and intensity in China, the intensity, frequency and disaster degree of rock burst in coal mines have increased severely, and rock burst has become one of common dynamic safety disasters in deep mining. With a long-wall mining method for deep coal seams, sectional coal pillars are often arranged along adjacent mining faces, and the sectional coal pillars may vary in size, and may be 3-20 m generally and 6-9 m in common, depending on the geological conditions. However, affected by high-intensity exploitation, stress concentration may occur easily in the sectional coal pillars between adjacent mining faces as a result of superposition of mining stress, and the sectional coal pillars with concentrated stress have become areas with frequent large roadway deformation and rock burst in deep mines. In addition, the strata in some coal mines are rich in ground water, which results in severe water accumulation at the goaf side of the coal pillars. The bearing capacity of the coal pillars soaked and softened by the accumulated goaf water is decreased, and the risk of coal pillar rock burst is aggravated.
To solve the above engineering problem, traditionally resin anchor rods or anchor cables are used for reinforcing the coal pillar structure in the prior art. However, the coal mass medium is excessively damaged and deteriorated owing to large deformation of the sectional coal pillars. Consequently, the existing anchor bolt-net-cable may be “drawn out” failure as the coal pillars excessively deformed and the coal rock at the anchored end is damaged and deteriorated. Even the anchor rods are provided with yielding and energy-absorbing means that can adapt to the large deformation of the coal rock, the engineering purpose of energy absorption and coal and rock mass reinforcement in a stable state can't be attained. For example, the Chinese Patent Publication No. CN109209457B has disclosed an energy-absorbing anti-impact anchor cable and a using method thereof, which can effectively avoid impact deformation and damage of the surrounding rock, effectively prevent and control rock burst, and may be applied under different working conditions in different application environments. As shown in
Based on the above problems, to effectively improve the stability of a coal pillar in a high-stress deep well section, three aspects should be considered comprehensively, i.e., the coal pillar medium, the material of the anchor cable, and the interaction between the coal pillar and the anchor cable. Firstly, the mine water around the coal pillar medium shall be drained to avoid persistent soaking and damage of the coal mass and thereby improve the self-stability of the coal mass; secondly, the anchorage of the anchor cable shall avoid or adapt to the damage of the coal rock medium and prevent the deterioration and failure of the anchored end; finally, on the premise of effective supporting, the material of the anchor cable shall have high deformability, so as to adapt to the large deformation of the coal pillar, realize coordinated steady deformation of the coal mass and anchor cable, and prevent overload and fracture of the anchor cable, which may cause more severe coal pillar instability and rock burst accidents. That is to say, it is urgent to develop an anchor cable that exerts opposite pulling on the two sides of the coal pillar, can be fixed by self-anchorage, and can realize water drainage while effectively absorbing energy, providing impact protection, and adapting to large deformation, on the basis of the prior art.
To solve the problems that the existing anchor cables are deformed with the coal pillars, can't attain effects of absorbing energy, maintaining stability, and reinforcing the coal and rock mass owing to the failure of the anchored end, and are infiltrated and damaged by drained mine water in the prior art, the present invention provides a self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars and a using method thereof. The self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars can achieve mechanical self-anchorage, coordination of energy absorption and impact resistance with large deformation, and safe drainage of accumulated water at the goaf side of the coal pillar, and has a simple and compact structure, and high safety and controllability.

Furthermore, in order to effectively fix the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars after it is placed in the mounting position on the sectional coal pillar, the outer wall of the self-anchored bushing 420 has a bonding portion 460 that accommodates a resin anchoring agent and is arranged near the crack-arresting ring 450. When the self-anchored bushing 420 cracks along the pre-splitting lines 440 under stress and bends and expands to the position of the crack-arresting ring 450, the cracked root of the wall of the self-anchored bushing 420 squeezes the bonding portion 460, so that the resin anchoring agent inside the bonding portion 460 is released, and is distributed between the outer wall of the self-anchored bushing 420 and the drilled hole in the sectional coal pillar, and seals the space there to prevent the accumulated water from infiltrating into and soaking the coal mass from the self-anchored end.

The using method of the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars provided in the embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 will be detailed below with reference to
step 100: drilling a hole from one side of the sectional coal pillar toward the other side of the sectional coal pillar, with 100 mm-200 mm spacing reserved between the bottom of the drilled hole and the penetration surface on the other side of the sectional coal pillar;
step 200: plugging the drainage hole in the energy-absorbing and yielding terminal of the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars in advance, and inserting the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars to the bottom of the drilled hole, so that the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars presses the drilled hole and penetrates through the spacing reserved in the step 100;
step 300: pressing the bushing and pulling the steel strand outwards, till the end of the bushing is split, seals the drilled hole and is fixed inside the drilled hole, thus the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars is mounted on the sectional coal pillar;
step 400: opening the drainage hole and draining the accumulated water timely.
To adapt to the particularities of different mine environments in actual applications, the method further comprises the following step before the step 100: calculating and selecting the matching parameters of the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars according to the working conditions.
Specifically, the step 100 comprises: selecting a drill bit in size matching the size of the bushing and drilling a hole with the drill bit to the other side of the sectional coal pillar during the roadway driving along the mining face in the lower section.
More specifically, the step 400 comprises: monitoring the fluid pressure in the bushing, and opening the drainage hole to drain water when the fluid pressure exceeds a pressure threshold; wherein the pressure threshold is 0.2 MPa-0.5 MPa.
The actual operations of the installation and fixing process of the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars in the sectional coal pillar 4000 are as follows: firstly, the parameters of the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars are selected; specifically, the total length of the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars, the dimensions of the self-anchored bushing 420, the quantity of the pre-splitting lines 440, and the parameter of matching between the stressed expansion-cracking terminal 300 and the self-anchored bushing 420, the dimensions of the water drainage bushing 410, and the parameter of matching between the energy-absorbing and yielding terminal 200 and the water drainage bushing 410, etc., are selected reasonably through calculation, according to the specific working conditions, and the strength of the threaded connection of the anchor cable tray 500 is selected reasonably. Specifically, the above-mentioned specific working conditions may include: ground stress, coal rock strength, reserved coal pillar width, and physical and mechanical properties of roof and floor, etc. The installation stage may be commenced after the process parameters of the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars to be used are selected and determined. A hole having radius Rdrill is drilled in the sectional coal pillar 4000, specifically, a drill bit in size matching the enlarged section 411 of the water drainage bushing 410 is selected and a hole is drilled with the drill bit during roadway driving along the mining face in the lower section; the hole is drilled from one side of the sectional coal pillar toward the other side of the sectional coal pillar, with 100 mm-200 mm spacing reserved between the bottom of the hole and the penetration surface on the other side of the sectional coal pillar, to prevent the sectional coal pillar 4000 from drilled through fully, which may result in direct drainage of the accumulated goaf water. The overall dimensions of the sectional coal pillar 4000 may be measured in advance before the drilling. Usually the radius of the drilled hole in the coal pillar may be 40 mm-150 mm, e.g., 42 mm in common situations, according to the specific stratigraphic configuration. To prevent the drainage of the accumulated goaf water in the mounting process, the drainage hole P1 arranged in the energy-absorbing and yielding terminal 200 of the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars shall be plugged in advance. Secondly, when the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars is inserted to the bottom of the drilled hole, the water drainage bushing 410 must be pressed by means of an implement, so that the water drainage bushing 410 presses the drilled hole and penetrates through the reserved 100 mm-200 mm length; in addition, the steel strand 100 is pulled outwards, so that the self-anchored bushing 420 initiates “squeeze-expand-split” actions, till the self-anchored bushing 420 is split to the crack-arresting ring 450; the resin anchoring agent accommodated in the bonding portion 460 is released as the bonding portion 460 is compressed by the wall of the self-anchored bushing 420, and completely seal the space between the self-anchored bushing 420 and the drilled hole. Thus, the self-anchored bushing 420 is self-anchored and fixed on the other side of the sectional coal pillar 4000 after it is split. Then, the anchor cable tray 500 is connected to the enlarged section 411 of the water drainage bushing 410 through the threaded connection, the water drainage bushing 410 is fixed, the steel strand 100 is tensioned, and the first lock 610 is pushed, and then pre-tightening force is applied under the constraint of the second lock 620; thus, the anchor cable is installed. Finally, after the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars is mounted and fixed stably in the sectional coal pillar 4000, the drainage hole P1 in the energy-absorbing and yielding terminal 200 may be opened for drainage of the accumulated goaf water at required time for a required duration. Specifically, in the case of the drainage of the accumulated goaf water, the fluid pressure in the bushing must be monitored, and the drainage hole must be opened for drainage once the fluid pressure exceeds a pressure threshold; usually, the pressure threshold is 0.2 MPa-0.5 MPa.

In summary, the self-anchored opposite-pulling anti-impact anchor cable for sectional coal pillars provided by the present invention can simultaneously realize three functions of safe drainage of accumulated water at the goaf side of the coal pillar, coordination of energy absorption and impact resistance with large deformation, and mechanical self-anchorage of the anchor cable.

While the present invention is described above in detail in some preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to those embodiments. Various simple variations may be made to the technical scheme of the present invention within the technical concept of the present invention. For example, the stressed expansion-cracking terminal arranged at the end of the steel strand may be removed, and a resin anchoring agent may be applied on the end of the steel strand, so that the end of the steel strand is directly bonded, mounted and positioned inside the drilled hole. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the possible combinations are not described specifically in the present invention. However, such simple variations and combinations shall also be deemed as having been disclosed and falling in the scope of protection of the present invention.
