Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel boring machines, and in particular to a dust collection and reduction system for a comprehensive excavation working surface. Background Art

[0002] The dust generated when the tunnel boring machine cuts coal and rock accounts for about 90% of the total dust generated in the comprehensive excavation working face. Therefore, effectively controlling the dust hazards in the cutting link of the tunnel boring machine is the top priority of dust prevention work in the comprehensive excavation working face. During the operation of the tunnel boring machine, a large amount of fine dust is generated, which poses a serious threat to the environment and personnel health, and reduces work efficiency. At present, the commonly used dust reduction methods for comprehensive excavation working faces at home and abroad to address the problem of high-concentration dust mainly include spray dust reduction, ventilation dust reduction, coal seam water injection, and foam dust reduction. However, since both dust and separated coal gangue are explosive, ventilation dust reduction and spray dust reduction methods are risky.

[0003] The current coal seam water injection and foam dust reduction methods have been criticized for the difficulty of equipment maintenance, low energy recycling rate and single dust reduction method. At present, the main method to prevent and control the cutting dust of the tunnel boring machine is to spray dust inside and outside the tunnel boring machine. The internal spray is directly sprayed on the cut coal and rock through the nozzle on the tunnel boring machine cutting head to suppress the dust when it is generated. The external spray is sprayed into the dusty air through the nozzle installed outside the tunnel boring machine cutting head to capture the floating dust in the air. However, since most dust is highly hydrophobic and the surface tension of water is large, the capture rate of dust by water spray is low and the capture ability of respirable dust is extremely poor.

[0004] Therefore, developing an efficient and environmentally friendly dust collection and reduction system can not only improve the environmental quality of mining operations, but also achieve the rational use of resources, which is in line with the current strategic needs of green mine development.

[0030] Example 2: Figure 1-Figure 6 , including a tunneling machine body 100 and a cutting head 400, the rear end of the cutting head 400 is fixedly connected to a cutting head rotating shaft, and the cutting head 400 is rotatably mounted on the front end of the cutting arm of the tunneling machine body 100 through the cutting head rotating shaft; a spraying device for dust reduction is arranged at the front end of the tunneling machine body 100 and located on the outside of the cutting head 400; a conveying device for conveying coal blocks is arranged on the lower side of the tunneling machine body 100; the conveying device includes a shovel plate 500; the shovel plate 500 is installed on the front side of the tunneling machine body 100; rotating brushes 510 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the upper end of the shovel plate 500; there are two rotating brushes 510; a conveyor belt 520 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the tunneling machine body 100 and located on the rear side of the shovel plate 500; collecting Device; a brush shaft 511 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating brush 510; a gear 512 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the brush shaft 511; a first motor 513 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shovel plate 500; the output shaft of the first motor 513 is fixedly connected to the brush shaft 511; there are four gears 512, and the two brush shafts 511 are connected together through the gear 512; the collecting device includes a first fan 600; the first fan 600 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tunneling machine body 100, and the first fan 600 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 520; a collecting box 610 is fixedly installed on the other side of the conveyor belt 520; a dust box 620 is provided on the inner wall of the collecting box 610; a second fan 630 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the collecting box 610 and on the right side of the dust box 620;

[0031] The specific practical scenario of this embodiment is as follows: when the tunnel boring machine body 100 is in a working state, the rotating brush 510 rotates synchronously to send the coal blocks into the conveyor belt 520. The conveyor belt 520 adopts the existing technology. The conveyor belt 520 transports items in the opposite direction of the tunnel boring machine, and sends the coal blocks from the front of the tunnel boring machine to the rear of the tunnel boring machine through the dust collection device; when the first motor 513 is working, it can drive the brush shaft 511 to rotate, so that the gear 512 on the outer wall of the brush shaft 511, the number of gears 512 is four, so the two brush shafts 511 move in opposite directions, so that the two rotating brushes 510 cooperate with each other to transport the coal blocks to the conveyor belt 520; the first fan 600 is an air supply fan, and the second fan 630 is a dust suction fan.

Toward 601, it forms an angle of 90° with the moving direction of the conveyor belt 520. At the same time, when the second fan 630 is working, it can extract air from the inside of the collecting box 610, so that the collecting box 610 can inhale external air. The wind force provided by the first fan 600 and the second fan 630 cooperate with each other is less than the gravity of the coal block, but greater than the gravity and adsorption force of the foam-mud mixture attached to the outside of the coal block, so that during the transportation of the coal block, the foam-mud mixture that has adsorbed dust on the outside of the coal block surface is collected by the collecting device during the transportation process; the cleaned coal block is conveyed to the tail of the tunneling machine; the dust collecting box 620 can collect the foam-sludge mixture generated after dust collection and reduction. After further processing, the coal block will be separated into raw coal and coal gangue. The mixture inside the dust collecting box 620 will be injected into the coal gangue pile by grouting to fill the gaps between the coal gangue, block contact with air, and at the same time reduce the surface temperature of the coal gangue to reduce the occurrence of spontaneous combustion of the coal gangue pile.

[0032] The above structures and principles are all common standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0033] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when using the equipment, the cutting head 400 is started, and excavation is carried out through the cutting head 400, and at the same time, the first motor 513 is started to drive the brush shaft 511 fixedly connected to the first motor 513 to rotate, and the two rotating brushes 510 are rotated in different directions through the transmission connection of four gears 512, so that the coal blocks on the shovel plate 500 are transferred to the conveyor belt 520, and at the same time, the first fan 600 and the second fan 630 are started, and the first fan 600 and the second fan 630 cooperate with each other, so that the first fan 600 can provide wind power to blow the transported coal blocks, and at the same time When the second fan 630 is working, it can draw air from the inside of the collection box 610, so that the collection box 610 can inhale external air. The wind force provided by the first fan 600 and the second fan 630 cooperate with each other is less than the gravity of the coal block, but greater than the gravity and adsorption force of the foam-mud mixture attached to the outside of the coal block, so that during the transportation of the coal block, the foam-mud mixture that has adsorbed dust on the outside of the coal block surface can be sucked into the dust collecting box 620 during the transportation process, and then the mixture inside the dust collecting box 620 is injected into the coal gangue pile separated after further processing of the coal block through grouting.

[0034] Although the 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 the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
