露天矿强化开采不仅与设备有关,而且与开拓、采矿方法有关,后者是一个设计原理问题。如果这些问题不改进,既使引进了先进的采矿设备,也达不到强化开采的目的。我们从苏联六十年代以来露采设计原理的发展和美国露采设计的一些做法,对我国金属露天矿现在设计方法中的几个问题作一分析并提出改进意见。 Opencast mining is not only related to equipment and mining, and exploration and mining methods, the latter is a design principle. If these problems are not improved, even if advanced mining equipment are introduced, the goal of intensified mining will not be achieved. From the development of the design principle of the dew mining in the 1960s in the Soviet Union and some practices of the open mining design in the United States, we analyze some problems in the present design method of the metal open pit mine in our country and put forward some suggestions for improvement.
