Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal mine operating equipment, and in particular to an intelligent ventilation system for local ventilation of an underground coal mine excavation working face. Background Art

[0002] Coal mines are areas where humans extract coal resources in coal-rich areas. They are generally divided into underground and open-pit mines. When the coal seam is far from the surface, the coal is usually mined by tunneling underground, which is an underground coal mine. When the coal seam is very close to the surface, the coal is usually mined directly by removing the surface soil layer, which is an open-pit coal mine. The vast majority of coal mines in my country are underground coal mines.

[0003] Existing ventilation systems used in underground coal mines are difficult to install and disassemble. In the event of a mine collapse, ventilation pipes can easily break, depriving trapped individuals of oxygen. Furthermore, since the hydraulic oil must be drained before installing the liquid oxygen pipeline, the supports used in the mines need to be frequently installed and disassembled, making them prone to failure. Consequently, coal mines often use inferior support systems, increasing the risk of mine collapse. Therefore, a new type of ventilation system is needed. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent ventilation system for local ventilation of an underground coal mine working face, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the system comprises two columns 1, each hinged with a curved rod 2 at its top. A thimble 3 is positioned between the two columns 1. The thimble 3 is inserted into the rock wall at the top of the mine shaft, and the upper end of the curved rod 2 is fixed to the thimble 3. The columns 1, curved rod 2, and thimble 3 form a framework, and multiple frameworks are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the mine shaft.

[0032] An arc-shaped strip tube 9 is placed on the arc-shaped rod 2, and an air intake pipe 92 and an exhaust pipe 93 are fixedly installed on the arc-shaped strip tube 9. The air intake pipe 92 and the exhaust pipe 93 both pass through the arc-shaped strip tube 9. The air intake pipe 92 is located above the exhaust pipe 93, and a hose 94 is fixedly installed on the top of the arc-shaped strip tube 9.

[0033] A connecting pipe 10 is fixedly installed between the air intake pipes 92 of adjacent frames, and is combined with the attached Figure 1 The exhaust pipes 93 of adjacent frames are also connected together via connecting pipes 10. Air from outside is transported to the depths of the mine via intake pipe 92, where it is discharged through hose 94. This increases the oxygen content deep within the mine. An air delivery device is placed outside the mine and docked with intake pipe 92, delivering air from outside to intake pipe 92. Because the air delivery device is conventional, it is not described in detail and is not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The exhaust pipe 93 is provided with a plurality of small holes. Since carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the carbon dioxide produced by human breathing accumulates below the mine, so the exhaust pipe 93 is positioned low. The carbon dioxide in the mine is discharged through the exhaust pipe 93.

[0035] The curved strip tube 9 is a solid tube, embedded with an oxygen tank 13, an air chamber 15, and an air pump 17. The air inlet of the air pump 17 extends outside the curved strip tube 9, and the exhaust end of the air pump 17 is welded to the exhaust pipe 93. The air pump 17 delivers carbon dioxide into the exhaust pipe 93. Because the frames are arranged from the mine entrance to the depths, the air pumps 17 in each frame work together to discharge carbon dioxide from deep within the mine.

[0036] The air chamber 15 is welded to the hose 94. Two branches 153 are fixedly installed on the side of the air chamber 15 away from the hose 94. One branch 153 is welded to the air inlet pipe 92, and the other branch 153 is welded to the oxygen tank 13. A diaphragm 151 and a fragile barrier 152 are fixedly bonded inside the air chamber 15. One end of the fragile barrier 152 is bonded to the diaphragm 151. Figure 7 As shown, the branch 153 connected to the oxygen tank 13 is blocked by the cooperation of the septum 151 and the fragile barrier 152 .

[0037] Under normal circumstances, only the air delivery device continuously injects air into the mine. However, in the event of a landslide, the mine passageway becomes blocked by rubble, trapping personnel. At this point, the vibration of the curved tube 9 causes the fragile barrier 152 within the air chamber 15 to shatter, allowing the oxygen in the oxygen tank 13 to communicate with the hose 94, resulting in continuous oxygen release. This ensures sufficient oxygen deep within the mine, preventing trapped personnel from suffocating due to lack of oxygen during a mine collapse.

[0038] The curved tube 9 is also fixedly embedded with a control module 14 and a carbon dioxide detector 16. The control module 14 is electrically connected to the carbon dioxide detector 16 and the air pump 17, respectively. The carbon dioxide detector 16 is used to detect the carbon dioxide concentration in the mine, allowing workers to promptly monitor the air content in the mine. If the carbon dioxide concentration is detected to be too high, work can be stopped immediately to avoid dangerous operations.

[0039] A recess 11 is defined in the center of the column 1. A hollow truncated cone 7 is fixedly mounted within this recess. An air bag 71 is bonded to the outward-facing side of the cone 7. A compressed gas tank 72 is fixedly mounted within the cone 7. A trigger block 8 is embedded within the column 1 opposite the cone 7. This trigger block 8 is equipped with a pin 81 that can penetrate the cone 7 to puncture the compressed gas tank 72.

[0040] Combined with attachment Figure 10 A miniature electric push rod 82 is welded to the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the trigger block 8. A rubber strip 83 is fixedly bonded to the movable end of the miniature electric push rod 82. The end of the rubber strip 83, which is away from the miniature electric push rod 82, is fixedly bonded to the end of the pin 81. The upper and lower rubber strips 83 are in contact with each other. A pressure measuring module 84 and a battery are fixedly installed in the trigger block 8.

[0041] Pressure measuring module 84, a battery, and micro electric push rod 82 are electrically connected. When debris strikes the frame during a landslide, pressure measuring module 84 detects the pressure change, causing micro electric push rod 82 to extend and push rubber strip 83. Rubber strip 83 extends outward, pushing pin 81 into frustum block 7, causing pin 81 to puncture gas cylinder 72.

[0042] The gas compressed tank 72 is punctured, releasing the gas inside and causing the air bag 71 to swell, supporting both sides of the column 1. This also slows down the deformation of the entire frame, thereby providing workers with time to escape in the event of a mine collapse.

[0043] Ejector pin 3 has an access port 31 on its side and an exhaust port 32 at its bottom. Access port 31 communicates with exhaust port 32 and is used to connect to hose 94. Ejector pin 3 has a bolt 5 on its side, which secures the top of the curved rod 2 to ejector pin 3. A hook 33 is welded to the bottom of ejector pin 3. When the curved rod 2 and ejector pin 3 are secured together, a wiring slot 331 is formed between hook 33 and the curved rod 2.

[0044] The wiring card slot 331 is used to fix cables, wires and other lines to prevent workers from tripping over too many lines when walking.

[0045] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the curved rod 2 is penetrated by multiple positioning rods 4. The positioning rods 4 are bent with a hammer, with both ends of the positioning rods 4 bent upward to contact the mine roof wall, thereby locking the curved bar tube 9 and securing it. The outer surface of the curved bar tube 9 is coated with a foam filling layer 91. This foam filling layer 91 ensures better contact between the curved bar tube 9 and the mine roof wall and also protects the curved bar tube 9.

[0046] A base plate 6 is placed between the two columns 1. The base plate 6 is aligned with the bottom end of the column 1. A screw 61 is threadedly connected to the end of the base plate 6. A through hole 12 is opened at the lower end of the column 1. The screw 61 passes through the through hole 12 and is inserted into the rock wall of the mine.

[0047] In summary, the intelligent ventilation system for local ventilation of the underground excavation working face of a coal mine is provided with a column 1, an arc-shaped rod 2 and an ejector pin 3, which form a frame supporting the rock wall. The arc-shaped strip pipe 9, the air inlet pipe 92, the exhaust pipe 93 and the hose 94 cooperate to discharge the carbon dioxide in the mine and transport the air to ensure that there is sufficient oxygen in the mine and achieve the ventilation effect. The air chamber 15, the partition 151 and the fragile partition 152 cooperate to break the fragile partition 152 when the mine collapses, so that the oxygen tank 13 can release oxygen to the outside, thereby preventing the trapped people from suffocating due to defects. Further improve the survival rate of workers in the event of a mine accident.

[0048] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
