Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of underground coal mine ventilation safety, and particularly relates to a threaded explosion-proof intake device for an explosion-proof exhaust ventilator. Background Art

[0002] During the coal mining process, environments such as coal roadways, semi-coal rock roadways, rock roadways with gas outburst or ejection, and outburst coal seams all face the significant risk of gas accumulation and the possible formation of an explosive gas environment. Once the gas concentration in the roadway reaches the explosion limit, any potential ignition source may trigger a catastrophic explosion accident. Therefore, for equipment operating in such explosive gas environments, its safety performance requirements are extremely strict, and it must be ensured that the equipment can maintain an absolute safe state even under extreme conditions. To meet this requirement, equipment used in explosive environments usually needs to have two independent protection mechanisms to ensure that its equipment protection level (EPL) reaches the highest Ma level. At this level, even if one layer of protection fails, there are additional measures to ensure the reliable safety performance of the equipment. As a typical representative of such equipment, the Ma-level explosion-proof exhaust ventilator with positive pressure protection inside usually adopts a dual protection design of an explosion-proof enclosure and filling positive pressure non-explosive gas inside the enclosure to achieve its explosion-proof level.

[0003] However, in practical applications, there are a series of technical problems with the intake device for inflating the inside of the motor housing. Traditional intake devices often have difficulty finding a balance between the intake speed and the explosion-proof performance. Specifically, when the diameter of the intake pipe is designed to be relatively large, although it can meet the requirement of rapid intake inside the housing, an overly large diameter often exceeds the requirement of the explosion-proof gap (such as the maximum value specified in the GB3836 standard), resulting in the explosion-proof enclosure losing its explosion-proof function; conversely, if the diameter of the intake pipe is designed to be relatively small, although it can meet the requirement of the explosion-proof gap, the intake speed will become too slow to meet the actual demand for the intake speed inside the housing.

[0004] Therefore, developing an intake device that can not only ensure rapid intake but also ensure the explosion-proof performance is not lost is of great significance for improving the safety and reliability of explosion-proof exhaust ventilators. The proposal of this invention is precisely to solve this technical problem, aiming to provide an intake device that not only meets the intake speed requirement inside the housing but also conforms to the explosion-proof gap standard to meet the stringent requirements for the safety performance of equipment in explosive gas environments such as coal mining. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a threaded explosion-proof intake device for an explosion-proof exhaust ventilator to solve the technical problems existing in the intake devices of explosion-proof exhaust ventilators used in explosive gas environments such as existing coal roadways, semi-coal rock roadways, rock roadways with gas outburst, gas ejection areas, and outburst coal seams.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An explosion-proof extraction type ventilator threaded flameproof intake device, comprising:

[0008] An intake pipe, which is threadedly connected to one end of an intake screw;

[0009] The outer lower part of the intake screw is provided with an external thread, which cooperates with the internal thread of the motor housing to form a threaded flameproof surface; the upper end of the intake screw is an internal thread blind hole for connecting the intake pipe, and a plurality of intake side holes communicating with the threaded flameproof surface are provided at the lower end of the internal thread blind hole;

[0010] Gas sequentially enters the interior of the motor housing through the intake pipe, the internal thread blind hole and the intake side holes of the intake screw, and the threaded mating clearance.

[0011] Further, the effective number of engaged threads n in the threaded flameproof surface meets the requirements of the GB3836 standard, and the threaded clearance simultaneously meets the requirements of explosion-proof performance and intake speed.

[0012] Further, the number of intake side holes of the intake screw is 4 - 8, the hole diameter is 2 - 5 mm, and they are evenly distributed along the circumference.

[0013] Further, a first sealing ring is provided between the intake pipe and the intake screw to achieve sealing.

[0014] Further, a second sealing ring is provided between the intake screw and the motor housing to achieve sealing.

[0015] Further, the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are made of fluororubber, and the temperature resistance range is -30°C to 200°C.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. Greatly reduce the technical difficulty of the internal positive pressure Ma type extraction ventilator

[0018] This intake device physically separates the motor flameproof housing from the external intake pipe with a threaded flameproof surface and clarifies the boundary, avoiding the subsequent safety mark certificate certification from also considering the intake pipe and the gas source part as part of the motor flameproof housing for joint inspection, greatly reducing the design, manufacturing and testing technical difficulties of the internal positive pressure type extraction ventilator, and facilitating the subsequent popularization and application of this type of ventilator.

[0019] 2. Practicality improvement of efficient intake and structural optimization

[0020] Innovative adoption of a gas passage with multi-intake side holes for shunt + threaded clearance diffusion: Multiple intake side holes (with a total flow area up to 120% of the intake pipe) are provided at the lower end of the intake screw blind hole, which can not only meet the rapid inflation demand but also avoid the risk of explosion failure, solving the contradiction between "explosion failure with large pipe diameter" and "low efficiency with small pipe diameter" in traditional designs.

[0021] 3. Industry application value of coal mine safety upgrade

[0022] This device provides core technical support for the internally pressurized Ma-class explosion-proof ventilator: By continuously exhausting dirty air to a dedicated return airway for 24 hours, it is expected to reduce the dust concentration in the airway by more than 70%, significantly improving the working environment of miners. Its modular design (such as replaceable intake screws) is compatible with different models of ventilators, successfully breaking through the restriction in the "Coal Mine Safety Regulations" on the prohibition of exhaust fans in coal roadways and gas outburst areas, providing key equipment guarantee for the construction of intelligent mines.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a threaded explosion-proof intake device for an explosion-proof extraction ventilator, including an intake pipe 1, an intake screw 3 and a motor housing 5. The intake pipe 1 is threadedly connected to the steel intake screw 3, and the external thread of the intake screw 3 and the internal thread of the motor housing 5 form a threaded explosion-proof surface.

[0031] The intake screw 3 is a steel component, and its lower part at the outer end is provided with an external thread, which cooperates with the internal thread of the motor housing 5 to form a threaded explosion-proof surface; the upper end of the intake screw 3 is an internal thread blind hole 31, and a plurality of intake side holes 32 are provided at the lower end of the internal thread blind hole 31.

[0032] The intake pipe 1 is threadedly connected into the internal thread blind hole 31 of the intake screw 3.

[0033] Furthermore, it further includes a first sealing ring 2 and a second sealing ring 4, which are respectively used for airtight sealing between the intake pipe 1 and the intake screw 3, and between the intake screw 3 and the motor housing 5; specifically, the first sealing ring 2 and the second sealing ring 4 are made of fluororubber, and the temperature resistance range is -30°C to 200°C.

[0034] The second sealing ring 4 is arranged between the nut of the intake screw 3 and the motor housing 5. An outwardly protruding annular protrusion is provided on the intake pipe 1, and the first sealing ring 2 is arranged between the annular protrusion and the upper surface of the intake screw 3, and the first sealing ring 2 is pressed against the upper surface of the intake screw 3 by the annular protrusion.

[0035] The gas passage of this intake device is as follows: Gas enters the housing through the intake pipe 1 → the internal thread blind hole 31 → the intake side hole 32 → the thread clearance. The thread clearance serves as both an explosion-proof barrier and a gas passage.

[0036] Furthermore, the effective number of mating thread turns of the thread flameproof joint is limited to n. When n meets the requirements of the GB3836 standard and the thread clearance meets the intake speed requirement, this intake device can meet the usage requirements.

[0040] Working process: The positive-pressure gas enters the inner cavity of the motor housing evenly through the intake pipe → the screw inner cavity (internal thread blind hole) → the intake side hole for diffusion → the thread clearance.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and scope of the present technical solution, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
