Abstract

The invention discloses a goaf coal spontaneous combustion precise monitoring and fire preventing and extinguishing method, and belongs to the technical field of coal mine fire prevention and control. A foam box protected by a high-pressure-resistant shell is placed on the side, close to a return airway, of a goaf of a coal seam stope face, the foam box is connected with a multifunctional data collector and an inflation pump which are located at the end of the return airway through a signal transmission line and a gas conveying pipeline, and a temperature detector and an index gas concentration detector are fixed to the inner side face of the foam box. The method is used for monitoring goaf temperature and index gas concentration. If it is monitored that the temperature and / or the index gas concentration of a certain position exceed the critical value, it is judged that the position has the coal spontaneous combustion danger, nitrogen or carbon dioxide can be immediately inflated into a foam box at the monitoring point through an inflation pump, foam mixed liquid in the foam box is excited to generate foam, and the foam flows into the goaf for fire extinguishing; and stopping gas injection after the temperature and the index gas concentration data of the monitoring point are recovered below the critical value. If the foam mixed liquid in the foam box is used up, but the temperature and / or the index gas concentration of the monitoring point still exceed the critical value, nitrogen or carbon dioxide can be continuously injected into the area until the temperature and the index gas concentration of the monitoring point are recovered to be below the critical value, and therefore goaf coal spontaneous combustion monitoring and fire preventing and extinguishing work are achieved. The method is simple and convenient to operate, can accurately and timely monitor the spontaneous combustion danger of the goaf coal, and realizes accurate fire prevention and extinguishing.

[0002] Spontaneous combustion of coal in goaf is one of the main disasters faced in the process of coal mining in my country, which affects the normal coal seam mining activities. The coal in the goaf of coal mines is slowly oxidized under the condition of continuous air leakage, which affects the concentration and temperature changes of the index gas in the goaf, and increases the risk of spontaneous combustion of coal in the goaf to a certain extent. At present, the monitoring of spontaneous combustion of coal in goaf usually adopts the methods of bundle tube monitoring, infrared monitoring and manual sampling. It is necessary to deploy bundle tube monitoring system and temperature sensor and other equipment in advance, or the technicians go down the well to collect gas and take the ground analyzer to analyze the gas composition to monitor the risk of spontaneous combustion of coal in the goaf of the working face. However, the existing monitoring equipment and means can only be used for monitoring near the mining working face or near the two lanes, and it is impossible to achieve accurate monitoring of the fire hazard area of ​​the entire goaf; and in terms of fire prevention and extinguishing in the goaf, the current grouting, inert gas injection and other technologies cannot achieve accurate fire prevention and extinguishing work. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an accurate monitoring and fire prevention method that can effectively target the spontaneous combustion of coal in closed goaf. Summary of the invention

At this time, the multifunctional data collector sends an alarm signal; The second stage: once the multifunctional data collector sends out an alarm signal, nitrogen or carbon dioxide is immediately filled into the gas pipeline of the monitoring point using an air pump. When the gas pressure in the gas pipeline reaches a specific value, the pressure-sensitive sealing cover automatically opens, allowing nitrogen or carbon dioxide gas to enter the foam box, stimulating the foam mixture in the foam box to produce foam, and then flowing into the goaf to extinguish the fire; stop gas injection after the temperature and index gas concentration of the monitoring point are restored to below the critical value; The third stage: If the foam mixture in the foam box has been used up, but the temperature and / or index gas concentration at the monitoring point still exceeds the critical value, nitrogen or carbon dioxide can continue to be injected into the area through the air pump to implement fire extinguishing until the temperature and index gas concentration at the monitoring point return to below the critical value, thereby realizing the spontaneous combustion monitoring and fire prevention and extinguishing of coal in the goaf.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
