[0031] The support frame is arranged on the ground surface and located in the well house. The support frame includes a first support beam 8, which extends in a first direction and is located outside the wellhead. Optionally, the first support beam 8 is 1.5 m high. The support frame also includes a second support beam 9, which extends in a second direction and is arranged on the top of the first support beam 8.

The second direction is Figure 1 The first direction is a horizontal direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0032] The axial flow fan 2 is arranged on the support frame;

[0033] Specifically, a mounting frame 10 is arranged above the second support beam 9, and an axial flow fan 2 is arranged on the mounting frame 10, which has a wind output end, and the wind output end is located directly above the wellhead. By starting the axial flow fan 2, the wind can be transported into the ventilation shaft 1 directly facing the wellhead;

[0034] Furthermore, a spring damper 11 is provided between the mounting frame 10 and the second support beam 9 to reduce vibration when the axial flow fan 2 is working, thereby improving the stability and safety of the equipment.

[0035] A heating device, which is arranged in the wellhead and used to heat the wind flow, and three heating devices are arranged in a first direction;

[0036] Specifically, the heating device includes a radiator 3 and an electric heating tube 4, the electric heating tube 4 extends along the second direction, a plurality of fins 5 are sleeved on the electric heating tube 4, the plurality of fins 5 are evenly arranged in the second direction, and the fins 5 extend along the third direction, and the airflow exchanges heat when passing through the fins 5, the electric heating tube 4 and the fins 5 are at the same temperature, and the fins can effectively increase the heat exchange area, thereby effectively heating the airflow; the third direction is Figure 2 In the middle vertical direction, the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction;

[0037] Furthermore, the radiator 3 is arranged at one end of the electric heating tube 4, which can emit infrared rays. Due to the energy transfer property of the wave, the microparticles in the wind flow resonate, the activity is improved, the internal energy is increased, and the temperature is increased; the far-infrared heating technology has the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection, high thermal efficiency, simple structure, green and safe, and temperature controllable;

[0038] The axial flow fan 2 is used to vertically supply air to the ventilation shaft 1, so that the airflow and the fins 5 reach the maximum heat exchange area, avoiding energy loss caused by the turning of the airflow; the temperature of the airflow increases after passing through the heating device, and the obtained warm air is used to adjust the microclimate temperature of the underground water-sealed cavern;

[0039] The heating device heats the airflow entering the ventilation shaft 1 during the severe cold period by two heating methods: radiation heating and contact heat exchange. The required heating amount of the airflow can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0040]

[0041] in, is the heating capacity required by the wind flow (kW); is the wellhead heat loss coefficient; is the air inlet volume at the wellhead; is the air density ( ); is the specific heat of air at constant pressure; is the air temperature after mixing; The outside wind temperature.

[0042] An energy supply device, used for providing energy to drive the heating device;

[0043] Specifically, the energy supply device includes a solar panel 12, which is arranged on the top of the roof 6 and is used to absorb solar energy and generate electrical energy;

[0044] Furthermore, the energy supply device also includes a battery group 13, which is arranged in the well house and is connected to the solar panel 12 through a wire 14, and the battery group 13 is connected to the heating device through the wire 14; the solar panel 12 is a semiconductor material, which can be a crystalline silicon semiconductor material. When sunlight shines on the solar panel 12, the semiconductor material absorbs the photon energy in the sunlight, and the electrons in the material are excited to generate direct current. After passing through the current regulator, a stable current is obtained, and the battery group 13 is powered and stored through the wire 14, which serves as the energy source of the heating device.

[0045] A control device for starting and stopping the heating device;

[0047] The control device also includes a temperature sensor 16 and a control switch 17. The temperature sensor 16 is arranged in the underground water-sealed cavern and is electrically connected to the temperature control center 15 for detecting the temperature in the underground water-sealed cavern. The control switch 17 is electrically connected to the temperature control center 15, and the control switch 17 is connected to the wire 14 connecting the battery pack 13 and the heating device for starting and stopping the heating device.

[0050] During the heating process, the temperature control center 15 continuously monitors the temperature in the underground water seal cavern. When the temperature in the underground water seal cavern is higher than the set upper temperature limit, the resistance value of the thermistor (NTC) in the temperature sensor 16 decreases, and the current increase signal is transmitted by the wire 14 to the I2C digital interface of the temperature control center 15.

[0051] Working principle: The temperature in the underground water-sealed cavern is detected by the temperature sensor 16. When the temperature is lower than the set lower temperature threshold, the temperature control center 15 turns on the heating device through the control switch 17. The heating device is powered on, and the radiator 3 and the electric heating tube 4 work. The wind flow entering the ventilation shaft 1 is radiated and heated by emitting infrared rays. The electric heating tube 4 exchanges heat with the wind flow through the fins 5 to heat the wind flow, thereby ensuring that the wind flow with heat is input into the ventilation shaft 1. The hot wind flow enters the underground water-sealed cavern to increase the internal temperature.

[0052] When the temperature is higher than the set upper temperature threshold, the temperature control center 15 turns off the heating device through the control switch 17, the heating device is powered off, the radiator 3 and the electric heating tube 4 stop working, and the airflow entering the ventilation shaft 1 no longer exchanges heat with the heating device, so that the airflow entering the ventilation shaft 1 is no longer heated, thereby achieving the purpose of stopping the temperature increase of the environment inside the underground water-sealed cavern, thereby achieving the purpose of energy-saving regulation of the environment inside the underground water-sealed cavern.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the present invention is not limited to the technical solution formed by a specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept. For example, the above features are replaced with the technical features with similar functions disclosed in the present invention (but not limited to) to form a technical solution.
