Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal mine hydraulic systems, specifically to a pollution prevention system and method for a fully mechanized mining face hydraulic system. Background Technology

[0002] The hydraulic system used in fully mechanized longwall mining faces in coal mines mainly refers to multiple sets of hydraulic shield supports and corresponding supporting emulsion feed and return pipeline systems. The emulsion is uniformly mixed with water in the emulsion pump box and fed into the inlet chambers of each hydraulic support by the emulsion pump station. Then, it flows directly back to the emulsion pump box from the outlet of each hydraulic support, completing one cycle. During long-term use, the hydraulic system may be contaminated by both the surrounding environment (primarily because the plunger carries dust and other impurities adhering to its surface into the cylinder during retraction, contaminating the emulsion) and the surrounding environment (primarily because the emulsion adhering to the plunger diffuses into the surrounding air during extension).

[0003] In the existing technology, the main pollution prevention measures for the hydraulic system of fully mechanized mining face are to filter the contaminated emulsion, etc. The core purpose is to ensure the normal operation of the hydraulic system, but there are no effective protective measures against pollution caused by the diffusion of emulsion into the environment. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, a pollution prevention system for a hydraulic system in a fully mechanized mining face includes multiple pollution prevention devices installed on the hydraulic cylinder. Each pollution prevention device includes a contact ring 13 sleeved on the plunger 2 of the hydraulic cylinder. An annular guide channel 15 is provided on each of the two end faces of the contact ring 13, and the guide channel 15 is connected to multiple guide grooves 14 penetrating the inner wall of the contact ring 13. One guide channel 15 facing the cylinder body 1 of the hydraulic cylinder is also connected to at least one suction pipe 10, and the other guide channel 15 facing away from the cylinder body 1 of the hydraulic cylinder is also connected to at least one injection pipe 11.

[0026] During the excavation of the fully mechanized mining face, a pollution prevention device is installed on the hydraulic cylinder. Specifically, a contact ring 13 is fitted onto the plunger 2 of the hydraulic cylinder. Then, during the operation of the hydraulic cylinder, when the plunger 2 extends, a negative pressure environment is created in a guide channel 15 facing the cylinder body 1 using an air extraction device through a suction pipe 10, thereby removing the emulsion adhering to the surface of the plunger 2 and preventing the emulsion from polluting the environment. When the plunger 2 retracts, a positive pressure environment is created in a guide channel 15 facing away from the cylinder body 1 using an air jet device through a jet pipe 11, thereby blowing away the impurities adhering to the surface of the plunger 2 and preventing the impurities from contaminating the emulsion.

[0027] This invention can prevent the emulsion of the hydraulic cylinder system from flowing out into the environment and causing pollution, and can also prevent dust and other impurities on the longwall mining face from contaminating the emulsion with the plunger 2, thus ensuring the stable operation of the hydraulic system.

[0028] Considering that both the suction pipe 10 and the injection pipe 11 require external equipment, and that the guide channel 15 connecting the suction pipe 10 faces the cylinder body 1, which would obstruct the installation of the suction pipe 10 and its connection with the suction equipment, an inner sleeve 7 is fitted around the periphery of the contact ring 13 to avoid this situation. The inner sleeve 7 has at least one suction channel 8 and at least one injection channel 9. Both the suction channel 8 and the injection channel 9 extend axially along the inner sleeve 7 and penetrate the end of the inner sleeve 7 facing away from the cylinder body 1. The suction channel 8 connects the guide channel 15 and the suction pipe 10, and the injection channel 9 connects the guide channel 15 and the injection pipe 11. By adding the inner sleeve 7 and providing the suction channel 8 and injection channel 9, both facing away from the cylinder body 1, it is easier to install the suction pipe 10 and the injection pipe 11, and easier to connect the suction equipment and the injection equipment.

[0029] To improve the sealing performance between the inner sleeve 7 and the contact ring 13 and prevent air leakage, the suction channel 8 and the guide channel 15, as well as the injection channel 9 and the guide channel 15, are connected by a connecting pipe 12. The suction channel 8, injection channel 9, and guide channel 15 are all connected to a mating hole 16 for accommodating the connecting pipe 12. The connecting pipe 12 can be inserted into the suction channel 8, injection channel 9, or guide channel 15 through the mating hole 16, thereby preventing gas leakage from the gap between the contact ring 13 and the inner sleeve 7.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the specific structure of the connecting pipe 12 is as follows: the connecting pipe 12 includes a pipe body 17, and sealing rings 20 are provided at both ends of the pipe body 17, and the outer diameter of the sealing rings 20 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe body 17. The sealing rings 20 can further enhance the sealing performance between the pipe body 17 and each channel, thereby further preventing gas leakage.

[0031] The sealing ring 20 is specifically configured as follows: An annular slot is provided on the outer wall of each end of the tube body 17, and a positioning ring 18 is placed in the slot, extending out of the slot. The positioning ring 18 is fixedly connected to the sealing ring 20 via a connecting sleeve 19. The sealing ring 20, connecting sleeve 19, and positioning ring 18 are all made of elastic material, allowing them to be compressed during the insertion of the connecting tube 12 into each channel, thus ensuring smooth insertion of the connecting tube 12. Furthermore, they can expand after the connecting tube 12 is in place, thereby limiting the position of the connecting tube 12 and ensuring its stability.

[0032] To facilitate the installation of the anti-pollution device and avoid damage to the hydraulic cylinder itself, an outer sleeve 5 is detachably connected to the peripheral wall of the inner sleeve 7 via multiple connecting bolts 6. The outer sleeve 5 is fitted onto the cylinder body 1 and secured by a fastening assembly. The fastening assembly includes a clamping ring 3 coaxially fixedly connected to the outer sleeve 5, and a fastening ring 4 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the clamping ring 3. By utilizing the cooperation of the clamping ring 3 and the fastening ring 4, the outer sleeve 5 is secured to the cylinder body 1 without the need for drilling or other operations on the cylinder body 1, thereby avoiding damage to the cylinder body 1.

[0033] To simplify the system structure, the present invention combines the suction device and the jetting device into one unit. Specifically, the system also includes an airflow device, which comprises a housing 21 connected to two air guide pipes 24. One air guide pipe 24 is connected to all jet pipes 11 and has an exhaust fan 25 inside. The other air guide pipe 24 is connected to all suction pipes 10 and has an intake fan 30 inside. A filter assembly is detachably installed inside the housing 21, located between the two air guide pipes 24. In the airflow device, the exhaust fan 25 is used to discharge the gas in the housing 21, realizing the jetting function, and the intake fan 30 is used to draw external gas into the housing 21, realizing the suction function. The air guide pipes 24 are used to connect to the jet pipes 11 or the suction pipes 10. In use, by controlling the operation of the exhaust fan 25 and the intake fan 30, the jetting or suction function can be achieved, thereby drawing the emulsion adhering to the surface of the plunger 2 into the housing 1, or blowing away the impurities adhering to the surface of the plunger 2. The filter assembly prevents the emulsion that is drawn in during the pumping process from being blown out again during the blowing process, thus preventing environmental pollution.

[0034] Because the air duct 24 needs to connect to multiple injection pipes 11 or suction pipes 10, for ease of connection, the end of the air duct 24 away from the housing 21 is closed by a cover plate 28, and the cover plate 28 has multiple through holes 29 for connecting the injection pipes 11 or suction pipes 10.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, after a period of use, the filter assembly may become clogged, resulting in a decrease in filtration efficiency and requiring cleaning. To facilitate the removal, cleaning, or replacement of the filter assembly, the filter assembly includes a frame 26 and a filter screen 23 fixedly installed inside the frame 26. A disassembly slot is provided on the side wall of the housing 21. After the frame 26 extends out of the disassembly slot, a connecting plate 27 is fixedly connected, and the connecting plate 27 is detachably connected to the housing 21. When it is necessary to remove the filter assembly, simply disassemble the connecting plate 27 from the housing 21 and then pull the filter assembly out through the disassembly slot, which is simple and convenient. The connecting plate 27 and the housing 21 can be connected by bolts. It should be noted that, in order to ensure the filtration effect, when the frame 26 is inserted into the housing 21, it needs to fit snugly against the inner wall of the housing 21. If necessary, a sealing ring can be added around the frame 26 to prevent the gas containing emulsion drawn in by the intake fan 30 from bypassing the filter screen 23 and being directly blown out by the exhaust fan 25.

[0036] To improve the stability of the filter assembly and prevent gas containing emulsion from being blown out directly by the exhaust fan 25 without passing through the filter screen 23 due to the filter assembly shaking, a positioning seat 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the housing 21. The disassembly and assembly slot is opened on the top of the housing 21. The positioning seat 22 has a receiving groove in the middle for holding the frame 26. Inserting the frame 26 into the receiving groove can position the frame 26, thereby preventing the filter assembly from tilting.
