Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a smoke protection testing device for coal mine conveyor belts. Background Technology
[0002] Smoke protection, a basic safety feature for conveyor belts, requires regular testing. This protection device is suspended above the top of the conveyor head plate (above 3 meters). There is no effective testing method, and most mines replace it periodically. This method is costly and inevitably requires manual climbing. A few mines use spray reagents, requiring manual climbing for testing. This approach is unsafe, and the activation of the smoke protection device often triggers fire sprinkler systems, soaking the workers and increasing safety hazards. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to overcome the defects of the existing testing methods for smoke protection devices of coal mine conveyor belts, and to provide a testing device for smoke protection of coal mine conveyor belts.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this coal mine conveyor smoke protection testing device includes a smoke agent container and a matching smoke sensor. The smoke agent container includes a bottle-shaped shell and a piston base plate. The bottle-shaped shell includes a nozzle and a cylindrical body. The nozzle is located at the front end of the cylindrical body, and the rear end of the cylindrical body is open. The piston base plate is located inside the bottle-shaped shell, and a sealing sleeve is provided between its outer edge and the inner wall of the cylindrical body of the bottle-shaped shell. The smoke agent container contains a smoke simulating agent. The nozzle of the smoke agent container is located below the matching smoke sensor, and the nozzle has an outwardly conductive... The one-way valve also includes a fixed pulley, a pull rope, a stop post, and a slide. It is equipped with a front and rear suspension on the tunnel roof. The fixed pulley is fixed to the rear suspension, and the rear end of the stop post is fixed to the lower end of the front suspension. The front end of the stop post abuts against the piston base plate. The slide includes a front ring, a rear ring, and a U-shaped frame. The front ring is connected to the front end of the U-shaped frame, fits over the nozzle, and presses against the front end of the cylindrical body. The rear ring fits over the cylindrical body. A connecting rod is located at the rear of the U-shaped frame. One end of the pull rope is connected to the connecting rod, and the other end passes over the fixed pulley and connects to a pull ring. The pull ring is located away from the spray nozzle. The smoke simulant can be the American CRC02105 smoke detector test kit PR02105 Smoke Test smoke simulant. It is available on Taobao and Tianjin Chuangya Technology Co., Ltd.
[0005] With this design, during testing, the operator only needs to pull the pull ring from a distance. This pulls the aerosol container backward via the slide, while the piston base plate remains stationary under the support of the abutment. The pressure of the smoke simulator inside the aerosol container increases, overcoming the one-way valve and being ejected from the nozzle. If the smoke protection device activates normally, no replacement or maintenance is necessary.
[0006] If the smoke protection device fails to activate properly, it indicates that the device is damaged and needs to be replaced or repaired promptly. Because the pull ring is far from the spray nozzle, the spray will not get wet even if the smoke protection device is activated. After the test, release the pull ring; the one-way valve will reset and close, and the smoke agent container will stop spraying the smoke simulator.
[0007] As an optimization, the nozzle has a central hole, which is wider at the front and narrower at the rear. A tapered tube section is provided between the front and rear sections, and a spherical valve core and a helical spring are located inside the front section. A sealing cap is also fitted over the nozzle, with a through hole in the center of the cap. The two ends of the helical spring abut against the spherical valve core and the sealing cap, respectively, forming the one-way valve. This design is simple, convenient, and reliable.
[0008] As an optimization, the front suspension includes a base plate and two connecting plates. Each connecting plate has a vertically elongated slot in the middle. The two connecting plates are staggered, with their two vertical slots partially overlapping and fixed by bolts passing through the overlapping portion. The upper end of the upper connecting plate is welded to the base plate and fixed to the roof of the connecting passageway via the base plate. The rear end of the abutment is fixed to the front side of the lower end of the front suspension. With this design, the length of the front suspension can be adjusted by changing the length of the overlapping portion of the vertical slots on the two connecting plates.
[0009] This coal mine conveyor smoke protection testing device has the advantages of simple structure, convenient use, and no wetness to the staff during testing, making it suitable for use in underground coal mine conveyor belts. Attached Figure Description
