[0002] According to the requirements of the "Coal Mine Safety Regulations" and "Coal Mine Fire Prevention and Extinguishing Regulations", when nitrogen injection is used as a fire prevention and extinguishing measure in the goaf of a fully-mechanized mining face, the concentration of nitrogen gas injected into the goaf shall not be less than 97%. Since the nitrogen production equipment cannot achieve intelligent regulation of nitrogen production flow and concentration, it is necessary to manually reduce the compressed air flow of the nitrogen production equipment and open the nitrogen production equipment exhaust valve to discharge unqualified nitrogen into the air at the beginning of the nitrogen production operation, until the nitrogen concentration reaches the standard, and then gradually increase the nitrogen flow or close the exhaust valve to enter the normal nitrogen injection process.

[0003] In the actual underground nitrogen injection process, due to the influence of factors such as the aging of the nitrogen production equipment and the performance of the air compressor, the nitrogen injection operators need to always observe the display value of the nitrogen sensor to ensure that the sensor display value is not less than 97%. If the nitrogen concentration is less than 97%, it is necessary to reduce the nitrogen injection flow rate to ensure the nitrogen concentration. In particular, when the nitrogen production equipment is started, the nitrogen concentration output by the nitrogen production equipment is basically close to the nitrogen concentration in the air. The operation of controlling the concentration of nitrogen output by the nitrogen production equipment by manually adjusting the nitrogen production flow rate is relatively frequent and complicated, and it is difficult to ensure that the nitrogen concentration injected into the goaf is fully in compliance with regulations.

[0021] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model, the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0022] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments of the following disclosure.

[0023] like Figure 1-5As shown, a nitrogen concentration and flow rate automatic control device for underground nitrogen injection operation includes a nitrogen making device 1 known for nitrogen production, wherein the nitrogen making device 1 refers to an existing product, such as the NZN-80 high-purity cutting nitrogen making device produced by Hangzhou Newzhuo Technology Group Co., Ltd. Two gate valves 2 are installed at the gas outlet of the nitrogen making device 1, wherein one of the gate valves 2 is used to simulate the opening height, and the gate valve 2 opening height analog data is transmitted to a known programmable controller in the nitrogen making device 1, and the programmable controller program of the nitrogen making device 1 is modified to realize the linkage between the gate valve 2 and the known nitrogen sensor in the nitrogen making device 1, so as to achieve automatic control of the nitrogen flow rate and concentration of the nitrogen making device 1. At this time, the nitrogen making device 1 is not connected to the underground space, and sufficient reaction time and operation time can flow out for automatic control of the nitrogen flow rate and concentration of the nitrogen making device 1. Then, the opening height of the other gate valve 2 is controlled to be consistent with the previous gate valve 2 opening height, so that the nitrogen that has been regulated in the nitrogen making device 1 can be transported to the underground, and its function is to prevent the gate valve 2 from being opened suddenly. When the gate valve 2 is opened Some time ago, the nitrogen production flow and concentration of the nitrogen making equipment 1 could not meet the standards, affecting the efficiency. The two gate valves 2 were connected end to end, and the air inlet end of one of the gate valves 2 was connected to the air outlet of the nitrogen making equipment 1. A threaded sleeve 5 was rotatably connected in the valve body of the gate valve 2. A sinking groove 9 was provided on the top edge of the valve plate in the gate valve 2 to be plugged into the threaded sleeve 5. A screw rod 8 was fixedly connected to the bottom of the sinking groove 9 to be threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 5. The screw rod 8 threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 5 is rotated to drive the valve plate of the gate valve 2 to rise and fall in the valve body of the gate valve 2. The side of the valve plate 2 is embedded in the valve body of the gate valve 2 at the same height as the nitrogen making equipment 1, and the side of the valve body of the gate valve 2 is fixedly connected with a partition 15 which is plugged into the bottom edge of the valve plate of the gate valve 2 and is flush with the inner wall of the valve body of the gate valve 2. As shown in the figure, the partition 15 ensures that the valve plate of the gate valve 2 will not tilt when it is lifted or lowered. The two sides of the bottom edge of the valve plate in the gate valve 2 are fixedly connected with distance sensors 11. The distance sensor 11 can be an infrared distance sensor. The distance sensor 11 is used to measure the lifting height of the valve plate of the gate valve 2 when the first worm gear 3 rotates a corresponding number of times.

[0024] Further discussion: The top end of the threaded sleeve 5 passes through the top edge of the valve body of the gate valve 2, and extends outward and is fixedly connected to the first worm wheel 3. The top edge of the valve body of the gate valve 2 is rotatably connected to the first worm 7 which meshes with the first worm wheel 3. The first worm wheel 3 which is meshed with the first worm wheel 3 rotates through the rotation of the first worm 7, and then the threaded sleeve 5 rotates. Conversely, the self-locking property between the worm wheel and the worm is utilized to ensure that the threaded sleeve 5 will not rotate actively, thereby ensuring that the internal screw 8 and the valve plate of the gate valve 2 will not rise or fall actively under the action of gravity.

[0025] Further discussion: A rectangular frame 13 is fixedly connected between the two gate valves 2, one end of the first worm 7 extends outward to have a protrusion that penetrates the gate valve 2, and the end face of the protrusion is fixedly connected to a slave bevel gear 14 rotatably connected to the rectangular frame 13, and a main bevel gear 12 for meshing with the slave bevel gear 14 is slidably connected to the rectangular frame 13. By moving the main bevel gear 12 to mesh with any one of the slave bevel gears 14, the slave bevel gear 14 can be driven to rotate by the main bevel gear 12, thereby realizing the rotation of the first worm 7 at the corresponding position.

[0026] A sliding seat 19 for mounting the main bevel gear 12 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the rectangular frame 13, and a motor 6 for driving the sliding seat 19 to rotate is plugged into the bottom edge of the sliding seat 19. A first electric push rod 4 for driving the motor 6 to move is fixedly connected to one of the gate valves 2. The motor 6 slides along the bottom edge of the rectangular frame 13 by telescoping the first electric push rod 4 on the gate valve 2, and reciprocates between the two slave bevel gears 14, while the sliding seat 19 moves with the movement of the motor 6, and the sliding seat 19 is driven to rotate by the motor 6. The number of revolutions of the motor 6 is controlled, thereby controlling the number of revolutions of the sliding seat 19.

[0027] The upper surface of the sliding seat 19 is rotatably connected to a second worm gear 10 for fixing the main bevel gear 12, and the sliding seat 19 is rotatably connected to a second worm 18 meshing with the second worm gear 10. When the sliding seat 19 moves close to one of the slave bevel gears 14, the second worm 18 is used to drive the second worm gear 10 to rotate, so that the main bevel gear 12 can be rotated on the surface of the sliding seat 19, ensuring that the teeth of the main bevel gear 12 and the slave bevel gear 14 are aligned, so as to ensure smooth meshing, and when the second worm 18 stops rotating, the corresponding second worm gear 10 cannot rotate, so the second worm gear 10 and the main bevel gear 12 can rotate with the rotation of the sliding seat 19.

[0028] One end of the second worm 18 extends outward and is fixedly connected to a spur gear 17, a rack 16 meshing with the spur gear 17 is slidably connected to the sliding seat 19, and a second electric push rod 20 for cooperating with the rack 16 is installed on the sliding seat 19. The second electric push rod 20 on the surface of the sliding seat 19 is driven to rotate by installing a mobile power supply on the sliding seat 19, and the rack 16 is moved by the extension and retraction of the second electric push rod 20 on the surface of the sliding seat 19, thereby realizing the spur gear 17 driving the second worm 18 to rotate.

[0029] Working principle: the motor 6 moves to the main bevel gear 12 and meshes with one of the slave bevel gears 14, and then the motor 6 drives the sliding seat 19 to drive the main bevel gear 12 to rotate, thereby realizing that the slave bevel gear 14 drives the first worm 7 to rotate, and the first worm 7 rotates to realize the rotation of the meshing first worm wheel 3, thereby realizing the rotation of the threaded sleeve 5, and through the rotation of the threaded sleeve 5, the screw rod 8 threadedly connected thereto drives the valve plate of the gate valve 2 to rise and fall in the valve body of the gate valve 2 to open to a certain height, and transmits the gate valve 2 opening height analog data to the known programmable controller in the nitrogen making equipment 1, and the nitrogen making equipment 1 can be modified. The programming controller program automatically adjusts and controls the nitrogen production flow and concentration of the nitrogen equipment 1, and then the motor 6 moves to the main bevel gear 12 to mesh with its other slave bevel gear 14, and then the motor 6 drives the sliding seat 19 to drive the main bevel gear 12 to rotate, thereby realizing that the other slave bevel gear 14 drives the other first worm 7 to rotate, and the other first worm 7 rotates to realize the rotation of the other meshing connected first worm wheel 3, thereby realizing the rotation of the other threaded sleeve 5, and through the rotation of the other threaded sleeve 5, the other screw rod 8 threadedly connected thereto drives the other gate valve 2 valve plate to rise and fall in the valve body of the gate valve 2 to open to a corresponding height.

[0030] The wiring diagram of the nitrogen making equipment 1, the first electric push rod 4, the second electric push rod 20, the motor 6 and the distance sensor 11 in the utility model belongs to the common knowledge in the field, and its working principle is a well-known technology. The model is selected according to the actual use. Therefore, the control method and wiring arrangement of the nitrogen making equipment 1, the first electric push rod 4, the second electric push rod 20, the motor 6 and the distance sensor 11 are no longer explained in detail.

Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes and apply it to other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
