[0047] Continuing to refer to
[0048] Other embodiments of the present disclosure provide a casting and curing method, which is based on the storable box-shaped filler casting and curing device of any of the above embodiments, and includes the following steps.
[0049] In S1, the actual size of the filler 10 and distances between fillers 10 are calculated according to an actual engineering filling rate demand.
[0050] In S2, the size of a mold, the material of the storage box 3 and the number and the size of various elements are selected according to the actual engineering requirements, the number and the size of frames 1 and a casting height are determined according to actual roof-contact needs, when a height of a cast filler 10 is less than 1 m, a layer of the mold is arranged for casting, and when the height of the cast filler 10 exceeds 1 m, multiple layers of molds are connected with connectors 4 to achieve one-time casting.
[0051] In S3, points for placement positions of the frames 1 are marked according to engineering calculation and actual requirements, the frames 1 are conveyed to a coal mining face to be spliced by more than two people; at first, the storage boxes 3 are placed in the frames 1, and the two frames 1 are spliced into a mold by bolts; the upper positioning frame assembly plug 12 at the uppermost frame 1 is removed, and the positioning frame assembly 2 is placed in the through groove; the positions of the storage boxes 3 are adjusted through the casting gates 5 to make the storage boxes 3 uniformly placed around the positioning frame assembly 2; then casting is started through the upper casting gates 5, the casting is stopped when the filler is cast to approach the positioning frame assembly; after the filler is initially set, the positioning frame assembly 2 is removed, the through groove is filled with the positioning frame assembly plug 12, and then the filler is continuously cast to reach a height of the mold.
[0052] In S4, after filling the filler 10 through the casting gates 5, a roof-contact material is supplemented before final solidification, and when the casting gates 5 are sheltered by the filler 10, the roof-contact material is supplemented through the first through grooves 13 after removing the positioning frame assembly plugs 12, and the positioning frame assembly plugs 12 are refilled into the first through grooves 13 after completing supplement of the roof-contact material.
[0053] Specifically, when the roofing roof-contact material needs to be supplemented, the positioning frame assembly plugs 12 are removed, then the roofing roof-contact material is supplemented into the frame through the first through grooves 13, and then the positioning frame assembly plugs 12 are replaced and secured in the first through grooves 13. After the roofing roof-contact material solidifies, the positioning frame assembly plugs 12 are removed together with the positioning frame assembly 2.
[0054] In S5, the mold is removed after the casting is completed for seven days, or casting strength reaches 80%, and whether to take out the storage boxes 3 or not is chosen as required, such that the cast filler 10 not only can prevent a roof from settling, but also can provide a certain supplementary strength for the filler 10 by using the cavity in the filler 10 and materials filled in the cavity inside the filler 10.
[0055] During specific application, Embodiment 1 is as follows.
[0056] In a coal mine, a goaf has a height of 1 m, and a buried depth of 500 m; a false roof is mudstone with a thickness of about 0.2 m; a direct roof is sandy rock and siltstone with a thickness of about 5 m, and a floor is siltstone. An abandoned goaf needs to be utilized for underground heat recovery. After calculation, to guarantee the support strength, it is necessary to cast a filler with the size of 2 m*2 m*1 m, and an energy storage material (such as a filling material containing PCM phase change material: a mass fraction of slurry is 72%, a mass ratio of cement to tailings is 1:4, and a filling slurry with 5% paraffin wax is added) is cast in the filler.
[0057] (1) A frame 1 with a height of 1 m and a thickness of 20 cm is selected, and the size dimension of each splice plate is: that the size of the long plate is 240 cm*20 cm*100 cm, the size of the short plate is 200 cm*20 cm*100 cm, and the size of the main beam of the positioning frame assembly 2 is 240 cm*40 cm*40 cm.
[0058] (2) During the selection of the storage box 3, the strength (the pressure bar is stable) needs to be calculated in actual engineering design to prioritize ensuring the strength of the filler 10, the corresponding size of the filler 10 is calculated according to a load applied by the roof, and the remaining space is designed as the space for the storage box 3. In this embodiment, the length and the width of the storage box 3 are 0.4 m*0.4 m, and the height of the storage box 3 is 1 m. Further, according to the internal space function of the filler 10, the storage box 3 is made of a flexible and deformable material, which is convenient for taking the storage box 3 out of the lower casting gate 5 after the filler 10 is cast for further filling of an energy storage material. If necessary, the filling material can be supplemented at the communicating member for connecting the storage box 3 to seal the periphery of the filler 10, thus reducing the heat loss and supplementing the strength of the filler 10.
[0059] (3) Two second bolt holes 6 are uniformly distributed on each of the two splice plates of the frame 1, which are formed in a long back plate along the thickness direction and a short side plate arranged in the length direction, respectively. In this embodiment, the frame 1 has a thickness of 20 cm, the center of the second bolt hole 6 on the long plate is located at a position with a horizontal distance of 10 cm away from an adjacent boundary and a vertical distance of 30 cm away from another adjacent boundary, and the second bolt hole 6 has a radius of 5 cm; the casting gate 5 is located at a position with a horizontal distance of 60 cm away from an adjacent boundary and a vertical distance of 30 cm away from another adjacent boundary, and the casting gate 5 has a radium of 10 cm; and the through groove is located at a center position of the long plate and has the size of 40 cm*20 cm*40 cm. The center of the second bolt hole 6 on the short plate is located at a position with a horizontal distance of 10 cm away from an adjacent boundary and a vertical distance of 30 cm from another adjacent boundary, and the casting gate 5 is located at a position with a horizontal distance of 50 cm away from an adjacent boundary and a vertical distance of 30 cm away from another adjacent boundary, and the casting gate 5 has a radius of 10 cm; and the through groove is located at a center position of the short plate and has the size of 40 cm*20 cm*40 cm. Therefore, various holes can be butted joint after the frames 1 are overturned, thus achieving fixation and installation.
[0060] (4) Elements are assembled, the storage boxes 3 are placed at designed positions, and the frames 1 are combined and assembled outside the storage boxes to form a square mold. The positioning frame assembly plug 12 on the frame 1 is removed, the positioning frame assembly 2 is inserted into the through grooves, and the positions of the storage boxes 3 are adjusted so as to be uniformly distributed around the positioning frame assembly 2 and make the communicating members extend into the lower casting gates 5 of the mold. In this case, the assembly of the elements is completed, the casting is started through the upper casting gates 5 of the mold. The casting is stopped when the casting height approaches the positioning frame assembly 2, and then the positioning frame assembly 2 is pulled out. In this case, the lower casting gates 5 of the mold are blocked with the casting gate plugs 11, the casting is continued until the casting height is 1 m, and then the positioning frame assembly plug 12 is installed until the filler is set.
[0061] (5) A roof-contact material is supplemented. After all the fillers 10 have solidified and have initial strength, the storage boxes 3 are drawn out from the lower casting gates 5 of the mold through the communicating members, and heat transfer tubes are placed from the upper and lower casting gates 5 of the mold to further fill a heat storage material.
[0062] (6) After final solidification is completed, the casting strength reaches 80% or the casting is completed for seven days, and the frames 1 can be removed and recycled.
Embodiment 2
[0063] The underground space of coal mine is required to be used for nuclear waste storage, and a goaf of which has a height of 2 m, and a buried depth is 350 m. A false roof is mudstone with a thickness of about 0.1 m, a direct roof is sandy rock and siltstone with a thickness of about 3 m, and the floor is siltstone. At present, a box-shaped filler is used for supporting the goaf, and the size of the filler 10 is initially set as 2 m*2 m*2 m, with specific steps as follows.
[0064] (1) The actual size of the filler 10 and the distances between the fillers 10 are calculated according to the requirements of actual engineering conditions. In this embodiment, as a lead container is needed for radioactive waste storage, and there are certain requirements for a thickness of the container, so the size of an internal space of the filler 10 needs to be considered when designing this embodiment. Take a fuel rod as an example, the fuel rod has a length of 500 mm and a diameter of 1 cm, a required shielding layer thickness is about 15 cm (15 cm from the top, the bottom, the left and the right), and thus the size of the internal space to be constructed needs to meet the storage size requirements of radioactive waste, and it is determined that the size of the storage box 3 should be greater than 0.31 m*0.31 m*0.8 m, and the storage box 3 is selected for a column storage box 3. The internal space of the filler 10 can be designed to be 0.4 m*0.4 m*2 m, and then the size of the filler 10 is 2 m*2 m*2 m, which meet the requirements.
[0065] (2) The reasonable frame 1 and the reasonable storage box 3 are selected according to the actual engineering requirements. In this embodiment, the length and width of the filler 10 should be the same as those in Embodiment 1, and the frame 1 the same as that in Embodiment 1 can be used. The storage box 3 is made of lead, has the size 0.4 m*0.4 m*2 m, and can be internally provided with a partition for filling radioactive waste.
[0066] (3) As can be seen from step (2) that the same frame 1 as in Embodiment 1 is selected in this embodiment, but because the filling height is 2 m, four frames 1 and four connectors 4 are selected to combine to form a double-layer casting mold, and the filler 10 with a height of 2 m is cast at one time, which can save the cost and time of making the frame 1, achieve reuse and improve the production efficiency. The specific casting step can refer to step (4) in Embodiment 1.
[0067] (4) After the filler 10 is initially set, the roof-contact material is supplemented.
[0068] (5) After final solidification is completed, the casting strength reaches 80% or the casting is completed for seven days, the frames 1 can be removed and recycled.
