Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining engineering, specifically to a cleaning and water collection structure for trackless equipment underground. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid mechanization, automation, and intelligentization of mining, trackless equipment such as mining trucks, loaders, drilling rigs, and service vehicles are being used in underground operations, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving operational safety. However, trackless equipment is prone to accumulating dust, sludge, and oil during operation. Furthermore, prolonged operation can cause engine overheating, affecting normal equipment operation. Therefore, regular cleaning of trackless equipment is necessary in actual production. Cleaning removes oil and dust from the equipment surface, reducing equipment malfunctions caused by oil accumulation, effectively addressing the fire hazard caused by oil buildup on vehicles, and enabling faster and more efficient troubleshooting after cleaning, thus reducing the equipment failure rate.
[0003] During mining operations, the water used by trackless mining equipment often contains mud and other contaminants. If the water is not collected and discharged in a timely manner in the mining site and roadways, it will pose a great threat to underground safety production, such as flooding mine roadways and affecting the normal movement of workers and vehicles. Traditional water collection structures set up a water pool in a section of roadway. After the muddy wastewater enters the water pool, it is directly pumped to the central water tank. In actual production, due to cost, ore stability and other reasons, mines do not set up dedicated cleaning chambers for trackless equipment. Instead, water pipes are used to directly wash the equipment in the section roadway or other available areas, and the cleaning wastewater cannot be collected and treated uniformly. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a structure for cleaning and collecting water for trackless equipment in underground mines. This structure combines water collection and drainage, reducing the workload and difficulty of selecting a site for the mine. It also solves the problem of simultaneously cleaning trackless equipment and discharging both cleaning wastewater and production wastewater, greatly improving the safety and efficiency of underground operations.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A structure for cleaning and collecting water for trackless equipment in underground mines is characterized by comprising a cleaning platform, a cleaning equipment chamber, a sedimentation tank chamber, and a clear water tank chamber. The cleaning equipment chambers are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cleaning platform, with cold washing equipment placed on one side and hot washing equipment placed on the other. The sedimentation tank chamber has a ramp structure that can accommodate mechanical equipment. The inner wall of the sedimentation tank chamber is protected. The clear water tank chamber has a drainage equipment fixing platform located on both sides of the clear water tank chamber. I-beams are evenly spaced on the drainage equipment fixing platform, and drainage facilities are placed on the I-beams. Patterned steel plates are laid on the intervals between the I-beams. A water-retaining wall is provided between the sedimentation tank chamber and the clear water tank chamber, with pre-reserved drainage outlets on the water-retaining wall.
[0007] It also includes a sidewalk and guardrails. The sidewalk is located on one side of the sedimentation tank chamber, and the guardrails are set on one side of the sidewalk platform.
[0008] A lifting ring is installed above the drainage facility.
[0009] The equipment is fixed on a platform with I-beams spaced at equal intervals. Drainage facilities are placed on the I-beams, and the remaining space between the I-beams is covered with patterned steel plates. A lifting ring is installed above the drainage facilities.
[0010] The bottom plate of the cleaning equipment chamber is higher than the road surface of the cleaning platform. The cleaning platform is set downhill with a slope of 3‰ towards the water collection part. The slope structure of the sedimentation tank chamber is equipped with a concrete road surface, and the slope structure is set with a slope ratio of 1:10.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] (1) This utility model integrates the trackless equipment cleaning chamber with the segmented water tank, which reduces the difficulty and workload of chamber site selection. All production sewage and cleaning sewage are collected in one chamber, which reduces the amount of underground engineering and avoids the repeated treatment of sewage in the chamber by the operators, thereby improving the underground production efficiency.
[0013] (2) The present invention has symmetrically set up cold washing and hot washing equipment on both sides of the cleaning platform, which improves the quality and effect of cleaning.
[0014] (3) This utility model improves the stability of the original rock and isolates or reduces water seepage by isolating the original rock in the room through the concrete structure.
[0015] (4) By setting up guardrails on one side of the sidewalk, this utility model improves the safety of subsequent workers and prevents them from falling into the sedimentation tank. Setting up a gate at the entrance of the sedimentation tank chamber can ensure that people do not accidentally enter and further improve the safety of underground operations. Setting up I-beams on the platforms on both sides of the clear water tank chamber and laying steel plates on the steel beams makes it easy to fix the drainage equipment on the I-beams and also provides a working platform for subsequent installation and maintenance. At the same time, it can also prevent workers from falling into the clear water tank and improve the safety of underground operations. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a structure for cleaning and collecting water for trackless equipment in underground mines is characterized by comprising a cleaning platform 11, a cleaning equipment chamber 12, a sedimentation tank chamber 3, and a clear water tank chamber 6. The cleaning equipment chamber 12 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cleaning platform 11, with cold washing equipment placed on one side and hot washing equipment placed on the other. The sedimentation tank chamber 23 is provided with a ramp structure that can accommodate mechanical equipment. The inner wall of the sedimentation tank chamber 23 is provided with a protective wall 24. Clear water... A drainage equipment fixing platform 27 is installed inside the pool chamber 26. The drainage equipment fixing platform 27 is located on both sides of the clear water pool chamber 26. I-beam steel beams 271 are evenly spaced on the drainage equipment fixing platform 27. Drainage facilities 272 are placed on the I-beam steel beams 271. Patterned steel plates 273 are laid on the intervals of the I-beam steel beams 271. A water retaining wall 25 is provided between the sedimentation pool chamber 23 and the clear water pool chamber 26. Drainage outlets 251 are reserved on the water retaining wall 25.

The slope structure of the sedimentation tank chamber 23 is provided with a concrete road surface, and the slope structure is set with a slope ratio of 1:10.
[0025] When this utility model is in use, if it is necessary to clean the trackless equipment, the driver will drive the trackless equipment to the cleaning platform 11 in the trackless equipment cleaning section 1. The cleaning personnel will start the cold washing equipment or hot washing equipment in the cleaning equipment chamber 12 to clean the trackless equipment. The wastewater from the cleaning will be discharged along the road surface into the water collection section 2 for sedimentation.
[0026] When water collection is required, wastewater from the trackless equipment cleaning, as well as production wastewater from the segmented mining area and roadways, enters the sedimentation chamber 23 of the water collection section 2 via ditches or concrete pavement. The wastewater settles in the sedimentation chamber 23, separating the settled water from the silt. The silt is at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber 23, while the clear water is on top of the silt. When the height of the clear water exceeds the drainage outlet 251 reserved on the retaining wall 25, the clear water enters the clear water chamber 26. The drainage facility 272, fixed to the I-beam 271 on the drainage facility platform 27, is activated to pump the clear water to the central water tank. When cleaning the silt in the sedimentation chamber 23, workers drive the sludge removal equipment along the concrete pavement to remove the silt.
[0027] In this implementation case, the cleaning platform 11 is made of 300mm thick concrete. The platform is constructed with a 3‰ slope towards the water collection section 2. The width and length of the platform are determined according to the specifications of the largest trackless equipment for underground cleaning.
[0028] In this implementation case, the bottom plate of the sedimentation cleaning equipment chamber 12 is 400mm higher than the road surface of the cleaning platform 11.
[0029] In this implementation case, the sedimentation tank chamber 23 is constructed as a downhill slope with a gradient of 1:10, and a 300mm concrete pavement is laid on the slope.
[0030] In this implementation case, the retaining wall 24 is constructed of 200mm of concrete.
[0031] In this implementation case, the sidewalk 21 is made of concrete and has a width of not less than 800mm.
[0032] In this implementation case, a 200mm×200mm (width×height) drainage outlet 251 is reserved on the water retaining wall 25.
[0033] In this implementation case, the drainage equipment fixing platform 27 is made of concrete masonry, with a platform width of 800mm. Four I-beam steel beams 271 are set on the platform at a spacing of 1000m. Drainage facilities 272 are placed on the I-beam steel beams 271, and 8mm thick patterned steel plates 273 are laid on the other spaces of the I-beam steel beams 271.
[0034] In this implementation case, a lifting ring 261 is installed inside the clear water tank chamber 26 and above the drainage facility 272.
[0035] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
