Method for up-down replacement collaborative mining of close distance coal seams

The invention discloses a method for up-down replacement collaborative mining of close distance coal seams. The method is suitable for use of underground coal mines. The method includes three stages of coal seam mining sequence design, mining roadway and working face excavating and mining replacement design and stoping interval design, according to the coal quality conditions and market requirements, a main coal mining seam and a cooperating coal mining seam are determined, a first mining face haulage way and a tail gate are drifted along a bottom plate of the main coal mining seam, and meanwhile, a cooperating mining face mining roadway is arranged in the stress decreasing area of the cooperating coal mining seam; and when the main mining face is stoped at a certain distance, the cooperating mining face is then stoped, the mining sequence is repeated until the close distance coal seams are stoped. The technical problem of close distance coal seam mining at the single-wing mining areais effectively solved, the mine replacement tension and working face mining effect are relieved, and safe, high-efficiency and high recovery mining of the close distance coal seams is realized.
