[0041] The main frame 2 has a built-in water supply pipe, which is connected to multiple spray devices 1 and a water supply device 4. Water flowing out of the water outlet 33 of the moisture capture device enters the water supply device 4 through the water inlet 41 of the water supply device, and after being filtered by the filter net 42 and the filter element 43, the water filtered by the water supply device 4 is pumped to the water supply pipe by the water supply motor 44 and transported to multiple spray devices 1.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the water delivery device 4 is a cylindrical structure. The filter element 43 is filled with activated carbon, and the filling space is greater than 70%. The pore size of the water filter net 42 is not less than 200 meshes.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the spray device 1 includes a small hole throttling device for controlling the spray flow of the spray device 1. The water supply pipe is a height-adjustable water supply pipe to adapt to the height adjustment of the main frame 2.

[0045] The present invention provides a circulating water curtain type tunnel cooling and dust removal device, which utilizes the principle that tiny water mist absorbs dust and heat, and arranges a water curtain structure composed of tiny water mist in a tunnel (such as a subway tunnel or a mine tunnel) to achieve the purpose of tunnel dust and lowering the ambient temperature, creating a suitable working environment, and by adjusting the height of the main support 2, it can adapt to all tunnel construction environments and separate the construction area and the non-construction area.

[0046] The working process of a circulating water curtain type tunnel cooling and dust removal device provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0047] By adjusting the height of the main support 2 to adapt to tunnel sections of different sizes, tiny water mist is sprayed out by multiple spray devices 1 to fully absorb heat and dust in the tunnel. The exhaust fan 37 in the water storage chamber at the bottom of the moisture capture device 3 draws air, and the tiny water mist that absorbs dust and heat in the tunnel is sucked into the air inlet duct 36 wrapped by the phase change material interlayer 35, and flows into the water storage chamber at the bottom of the moisture capture device 3 after being cooled by the phase change material interlayer 35.

[0048] The phase change material interlayer 35 absorbs the heat generated by the liquefaction of the water mist, and is cooled by the cooling water layer 34 covering the outer side of the phase change material interlayer 35. Cooling water is injected into the cooling water layer inlet 31, and after the phase change material interlayer 35 is cooled by the cooling water layer 34, it flows out from the cooling water layer outlet 32, converges to the water outlet 33 of the moisture capture device, and is sent to the water delivery device 4 together with the water flowing out of the water storage chamber.

[0049] The water flowing out of the water outlet 33 of the water collection device 3 enters the water supply device 4 through the water inlet 41 of the water supply device 4, and after being filtered by the filter net 42 and the filter element 43, the water supply motor 44 pumps the filtered water of the water supply device 4 to the water supply pipeline and transports it to multiple spray devices 1.

[0050] The water in the water storage chamber at the bottom of the moisture collection device 3 is sucked into the water by the exhaust fan 37 , undergoes a first sedimentation in the water storage chamber at the bottom of the moisture collection device 3 , flows through the inclined moisture collection device water outlet 33 and reaches the water delivery device 4 .

[0051] There is a cavity blocked by a water filter net 42 between the water inlet 41 of the water supply device 4 and the filter element 43. The water flowing into the cavity through the water inlet 41 of the water supply device 4 completes the second sedimentation, then completes the first filtration through the water filter net 42, and then completes the second filtration through the filter element 43. The water generated after the second filtration is delivered to multiple spray devices 1 through the water supply pipe built into the main frame 2 by the water supply motor 44.

[0052] The muddy water first precipitated in the water storage chamber at the bottom of the moisture trapping device 3 is removed by disassembling the water outlet 33 of the moisture trapping device, and the muddy water second precipitated in the cavity of the water delivery device 4 is removed by disassembling the water inlet 41 of the water delivery device. The filter element 43 is replaced after reaching the service life.
