The invention provides a
system and method for achieving natural striding, falling and filling of
coal beds, flexible roadway protection and complete gob-side entry retaining. Gob-side entry retaining is conducted in a primary mining retaining and protecting area, small
coal columns are reserved on one side of a goaf to support and block gangues sliding down from the goaf,
anchor bolt support is conducted in a roadway, and three types of roadway-side supporting technologies are adopted in a normal
recovery period according to the thickness of the
coal beds and the
lithology of a top plate and a base plate. According to the
system and method, influences of coal column concentrated stress are eliminated, the roadway strata behavior appearing degree is greatly lowered, the gob-side entry retaining is guaranteed to meet requirements for safety in production, disaster accidents such as
fire disasters and coal and gas outbursts caused by the reserved coal columns are eliminated, the roadway digging rate is lowered, the
ton-coal cost is reduced, the
working environment is improved, the high yield and the high-efficiency are achieved, the working face is continuously and rapidly pushed forward, and a
solid foundation is established for eliminating the short supply of successive excavating. The medium-inclining and sharp-inclining coal
bed goaf top plate naturally strides, falls and slides down to conduct filling under the action of the gravity, and the filling cost of the top plate is zero.
