Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dust suppression devices, and in particular to a spray dust suppression device for the coal chutes of a fully mechanized longwall mining face. Background Technology
[0002] Top-coal caving mining technology is a highly efficient coal mining method developed for thick and extra-thick coal seams (typically greater than 5 meters in thickness). Its core lies in achieving the dual operation of bottom coal recovery and top coal body crushing and venting through integrated mechanized processes. Top-coal caving mining technology involves setting up a longwall face with a mining height of 2-3 meters at the bottom of the coal seam, and using integrated mechanized mining processes to recover the bottom coal. Simultaneously, through mine pressure or manual auxiliary measures (such as blasting or water injection softening), the top coal above the working face is crushed into loose material, which is then released and recovered through the coal vent at the rear of the hydraulic support.
[0003] During top coal caving mining, a large amount of dust is generated as coal blocks fall at high speed from the high-level working face to the conveying equipment or the ground during the tail-end coal falling stage.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] Spray dust suppression is a new type of dust suppression technology. Its principle is to utilize the fact that the microparticles generated by the spray are extremely small and have a surface tension of almost zero. When sprayed into the air, they can quickly adsorb dust particles of various sizes in the air, thus forming an effective dust control. A related technology discloses a high-altitude water mist dust suppression device for construction sites. Its structure includes a dust suppression device, a control box, a heat dissipation window, a fixed frame, a support frame, an observation window, hinges, a handle, a box door, a lock, wheels, an upper cover, a rotating bracket, a fixed rod, a sprayer, and water pipes. The right end of the control box is welded to the left end of the dust suppression device. The control box is a hollow cuboid structure. The front end of the dust suppression device is connected to the rear end of the fixed frame via a slot. The outer wall of the observation window is bonded to the inner wall of the fixed frame. The rear end of the heat dissipation window is connected to the front end of the control box via a slot. The bottom of the upper cover is fixedly connected to the top of the dust suppression device with screws. This invention provides a high-altitude water mist dust suppression device for construction sites. The device includes a dust suppression unit and a lifting device, allowing the sprayer to spray and suppress high-altitude dust, greatly increasing the dust suppression range and further improving the construction environment. Furthermore, the buffer significantly disperses the load pressure on the top rod, extending its service life. The aforementioned related technologies, which simply rely on sprayers for dust suppression, also suffer from the problems mentioned in the background of this application. For top-coal caving mining technology, this method cannot improve dust suppression efficiency. To address these issues, this application provides the following solution:
[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 This invention provides a dust suppression spray device at the coal chutes of a fully mechanized longwall mining face, comprising:
[0032] The support frame 1 is installed on the top coal caving mining device 3 via the moving device 2;
[0033] The spray assembly includes a horizontal water mist component and a vertical isolation component. The horizontal water mist component is fixedly connected to the front end of the support frame 1 and is used to horizontally atomize and reduce dust during coal falling. The vertical isolation component is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame 1 and is used to form a water mist isolation curtain along the vertical direction. The water mist isolation curtain is used to isolate the dust during coal falling.
[0034] The collection assembly includes a collector and a filter. The collector is set on the coal mine conveyor belt 4 at the bottom and is located below the water mist isolation curtain. It is used to collect water and dust. The filter is installed inside the collector to filter dust.
[0035] Two cleaning components are installed on the horizontal water mist component and the vertical isolation component, respectively. The cleaning components are used to clean the water outlets on the horizontal water mist component and the vertical isolation component.
[0036] In one embodiment of this application, during use, the top coal caving mining device 3 mines the coal mine. When the top coal falls to the coal conveyor belt 4 below, a large amount of dust is generated. The dust is suppressed by water mist generated by the horizontal water mist component and by water mist isolation curtain generated by the vertical isolation component. The water curtain and dust are collected by the collection component below. After collection, the water is filtered by the filter component and can be reused.
[0037] Specifically, the mobile device 2 is preferably a multi-axis moving stage, used to control the movement of the spray assembly.

Several spray components are installed on both the first spray pipe 5 and the second spray pipe 6 along the axial direction.
[0039] In one embodiment of this application, water mist is sprayed horizontally through the first spray pipe 5 to directly reduce dust generated during coal falling, and a vertical water curtain is generated through the second spray pipe 6 to block and reduce dust.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, the first rotating shaft 14 is driven by an external motor. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 14 drives the sealing slide plate 11 to move through the meshing first gear 15 and the first toothed plate 13, thereby enabling the selection of different atomizing nozzles 12, and also having the function of adjusting the atomizing spray angle.
[0044] As an optional implementation, the cleaning component includes a rotating ring 16 rotatably connected to the first spray pipe 5 and the second spray pipe 6.

[0045] In one embodiment of this application, a cleaning roller 18 is provided on the rotating ring 16. The cleaning brush 19 on the cleaning roller 18 cleans the atomizing nozzle 12 to prevent dust from clogging the atomizing nozzle 12 when not in use, thus ensuring the stability of atomization dust reduction.
[0046] As an optional implementation, the rotating ring 16 has an elongated hole 20, and a second toothed plate 21 is fixedly connected inside the elongated hole 20. A second rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the first spray pipe 5 and the second spray pipe 6. A plurality of second gears 23 are fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 22, and the second gears 23 mesh with the second toothed plate 21.
[0047] In one embodiment of this application, the second rotating shaft 22 is controlled to rotate by an external motor. When the second rotating shaft 22 rotates, it drives the rotating ring 16 to rotate through the meshing second gear 23 and the second toothed plate 21, thereby cleaning the atomizing nozzle 12 through the cleaning brush 19.
[0048] As an optional implementation, a plurality of third toothed plates 24 are fixedly connected to the first spray pipe 5 and the second spray pipe 6, and a third gear 25 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the cleaning roller 18, the third gear 25 meshing with the third toothed plates 24.
[0049] In one embodiment of this application, when the third gear 25 rotates on the third gear plate 24, it drives the connected cleaning roller 18 to rotate, thereby cleaning the atomizing nozzle 12.
[0050] As an optional implementation, the collection device includes a collection trough 26, which is fixedly connected to the coal mine conveyor belt 4. A receiving hopper 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection trough 26, and the bottom of the collection trough 26 is connected to the water storage tank 7 through a conveying pipe 28.
[0051] In one embodiment of this application, the water curtain and dust formed are collected by a collection tank 26.
[0052] As an optional implementation, the filter element includes a filter plate 29 fixedly connected in the collection tank 26. The filter plate 29 has an inverted V-shaped cross section and a scraper is provided on the filter plate 29 for cleaning the filtered material on the filter plate 29.
[0053] In one embodiment of this application, the filter plate 29 is an inverted V-shaped structure used to filter water carrying dust. An external fan can also be connected to the collection tank 26 to generate suction inside and collect the dust-laden water mist. The filter plate 29 is then cleaned by a scraper to avoid clogging and ensure collection efficiency.
[0054] As an optional implementation, the scraping component includes a support frame 30 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the filter plate 29. A vertical rod 31 is slidably connected inside the support frame 30. A spring 32 is sleeved on the vertical rod 31. The top and bottom ends of the spring 32 are fixedly connected to the support frame 30 and the bottom end of the vertical rod 31, respectively. A cleaning frame 33 is fixedly connected to the top end of the vertical rod 31 through the filter plate 29. The cleaning frame 33 is used to clean the filter plate 29. A cam 34 is rotatably connected inside the collection groove 26. The cam 34 is set to contact the top end of the cleaning frame 33.
[0055] In one embodiment of this application, the cleaning frame 33 is driven to move downward by the rotation of the cam 34. The cleaning frame 33 is made of elastic metal. When it moves downward, its bottom end contacts the filter plate 29 and slides downward on the surface, pushing the filtered material to the bottom end. Conversely, the cleaning frame 33 moves upward and separates from the filter plate 29.
