Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tunnel construction, and particularly relates to a collection and processing device for detecting toxic and harmful gases in tunnels. Background Art

[0002] A tunnel is an engineering structure buried in the stratum and is a form of human utilization of underground space. Tunnels can be divided into traffic tunnels, hydraulic tunnels, municipal tunnels, and mine tunnels, etc. In 1970, the Tunnel Conference of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development integrated various factors and defined a tunnel as: "A cavity with a cross-sectional area greater than 2 square meters constructed underground in a specified shape and size for a certain purpose."

[0003] During the process of tunnel construction, there may be some cavities formed by ten-thousand-year physical and chemical reactions in the excavated soil mass. There may be some toxic gases, combustible gases, or toxic and harmful gases such as smoke formed during the excavation process in these cavities. During the tunnel excavation process, it is necessary to detect these toxic and harmful gases in real time. When the content of toxic and harmful gases exceeds the standard, it is necessary to take timely emergency responses.

[0004] The detection in the prior art is generally carried out through fixed detection instruments. However, the number of fixed detection instruments arranged is limited, and it is difficult to comprehensively monitor the tunnel. Moreover, as the tunnel is continuously excavated, new detectors need to be continuously arranged. The large number of detectors increases the cost, and the detected data cannot be actually transmitted, resulting in untimely emergency feedback from the supervision department and thus leading to accidents.

The traveling motor 3 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base 1. The traveling motor 3 is provided with a first output shaft 8 that extends horizontally to the right. A second ear plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base 1. The head of the first output shaft 8 is rotatably connected in the second ear plate 9. A worm 10 that meshes with the worm gear 7 is fixedly connected to the first output shaft 8. The steering wheel 4 is arranged below the left side of the base 1;

[0032] The collection and detection device includes a sampling cylinder 11 and a detection cylinder 12. The cross-section of the inner cavity of the sampling cylinder 11 is rectangular. The sampling cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the base 1. A reciprocating lead screw 13 is rotatably connected to the center of the lower surface of the bottom plate of the sampling cylinder 11. A rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reciprocating lead screw 13. The rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the base 1. A driven bevel gear 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 14. A driving bevel gear 16 that meshes with the driven bevel gear 15 is fixedly connected to the second output shaft. A piston 17 is hermetically and slidably connected in the sampling cylinder 11. The piston 17 meshes with the reciprocating lead screw 13. Air inlet pipes 18 are fixedly connected to the top plate of the sampling cylinder 11 in a circumferentially uniform manner. A first one-way valve 19 is provided in each air inlet pipe 18. The direction in which the first one-way valve 19 allows gas to pass is the direction pointing to the inner cavity of the sampling cylinder 11. The detection cylinders 12 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1 and one is arranged on each of the front, rear, and right sides of the sampling cylinder 11. Each detection cylinder 12 is connected to the sampling cylinder 11 through a communication pipe 20. An air outlet pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each detection cylinder 12. A second one-way valve 22 is provided in the air outlet pipe 21. The direction in which the second one-way valve 22 allows gas to pass is the direction away from the inner cavity of the detection cylinder 12. A combustible gas sensor 23, a toxic gas sensor 24, and a smoke sensor 25 are respectively fixedly connected in each detection cylinder 12.

A U-shaped shaft seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second output shaft 28. The steering wheel 4 is rotatably connected in the shaft seat 29.

[0035] In this embodiment:

[0036] During use, when the traveling motor 3 operates, it drives the first output shaft 8 and the worm 10 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. The worm wheel 7 meshing with the worm 10 rotates, thereby causing the axle 6 to rotate. The traveling wheels 2 fixedly connected to both ends of the axle 6 rotate, thus driving the device to move. When the steering motor 27 operates, it drives the second output shaft 28 to rotate, thereby driving the steering wheels 4 to rotate. The rotation of the steering wheels 4 can adjust the moving direction of the device.

[0037] When the first output shaft 8 rotates, it also drives the driving bevel gear 16 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. The driven bevel gear 15 meshing with it rotates, thereby causing the rotating shaft 14 and the reciprocating lead screw 13 to rotate. Since the piston 17 meshes with the reciprocating lead screw 13 and the piston 17 does not rotate in the rectangular sampling cylinder 11, when the reciprocating lead screw 13 rotates, the piston 17 moves up and down reciprocally.

[0038] When the piston 17 descends, it extracts the outside air into the sampling cylinder 11 through the intake pipe 18. Through the setting of the collection hood 26, the extraction area of the air is increased. When the piston 17 ascends, the air in the sampling cylinder 11 enters the detection cylinder 12 through the respective connecting pipes 20 and is discharged through the outlet pipe 21. Detection is carried out respectively by the combustible gas sensor 23, the toxic gas sensor 24, and the smoke sensor 25. As the device moves, different positions can be detected.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that it further includes the following content:

It further includes a second control box 33. A microprocessor 34 and a second storage battery 35 are fixedly connected inside the second control box 33.

[0044] In this embodiment:

[0045] A control signal is sent through the operation panel 38, and the control signal is sent to the main controller 32 through the wireless communication module 36. Thus, the steering motor 27 and the traveling motor 3 can be controlled through the main controller 32, and further, the movement and steering of the device can be controlled.

[0046] The data detected by the combustible gas sensor 23, the toxic gas sensor 24, and the smoke sensor 25 are sent to the microprocessor 34 through the wireless communication module 36. The digital signal is converted into an image signal through the first A / D converter 39 and displayed on the display screen 37. Thus, the content of various toxic and harmful gases can be monitored in real time, providing a basis for quick response.

[0047] The power levels of the first battery 30 and the second battery 35 can be monitored in a timely manner through the first power detection module 40 and the second power detection module 41, so that charging can be carried out in a timely manner.

[0052] Preferably, the microprocessor 34 is electrically connected to an alarm module 47, and the alarm module 47 is a buzzer.

[0053] In this embodiment:

[0054] Images are collected through the infrared camera 44.

The microprocessor 34 converts the received digital signal into an image signal and displays it on the display screen 37, thereby monitoring the environment inside the tunnel. At the same time, the traveling direction of the device can also be adjusted accordingly to reasonably avoid various obstacles.

[0055] When it is detected that the content of toxic and harmful gases exceeds the standard, the microprocessor 34 controls the alarm module 47 to work for reminder.

[0056] The real-time monitoring of the device is carried out through the GPS positioning module 46, so that the location where the content of toxic and harmful gases exceeds the standard can be known in a timely manner when an alarm occurs.
