Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of atmospheric pollution technology, and in particular relates to a dust removal device for mining machines. Background Technology

[0002] Mining machines are specialized equipment used to extract mineral resources (such as coal, metallic ores, and non-metallic ores). They separate and transport ore from rock masses through cutting, crushing, stripping, and tunneling. When mining machines are working (such as cutting, crushing, and transporting), they generate a large amount of dust. If this dust is not controlled, it can cause multiple problems. Therefore, dust removal equipment must be provided. For example, the patent with patent publication number CN215539502U proposes a dust removal device for mining machinery.

[0003] To ensure effective dust removal, a two-stage dust collection system is commonly used for dust control in mining machines. The first stage uses a heavy-duty cyclone separator to intercept large dust particles, while the second stage uses a wear-resistant bag filter to treat fine dust. The core function of the cyclone separator is to separate large dust particles. Its operation relies on centrifugal force to cause the dust to settle after impacting the cylinder wall. When highly viscous dust directly enters the cyclone separator, the large, sticky dust particles will adhere to the cylinder wall due to their own stickiness (especially at the ash discharge port at the bottom of the cone), gradually forming "scaling," which reduces the effective flow cross-section of the separator. Small dust particles, when centrifugal force decreases, can even cause complete blockage in severe cases. Furthermore, highly adhesive small dust particles can easily adhere to the filter bag surface if they continue to enter the baghouse dust collector, leading to cleaning failure and affecting the stable operation of the baghouse dust collector. In the crushing and mining of metal mines, the dust particles generated are highly dry, and the dry state strengthens the adsorption force between dust particles, resulting in greater stickiness. Directly using cyclone separators and baghouse dust collectors for dust removal can easily cause blockage problems in both, affecting the continuous operation of dust removal.

An electric slide rail 52 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of feedback shell 51. A moving plate 53 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slider inside electric slide rail 52.

A compression spring 511 that is sleeved on the outside of the pressure rod 59 is fixedly connected between the pressure plate 510 and the moving plate 53.

[0025] The operating principle of this invention is described as follows: According to requirements, the dust collection hood 12, together with the elastic telescopic tube 11, is fixed at the location where the mining machine mainly generates dust. The induced draft fan 10, together with the induced draft pipe 9, forms a negative pressure suction force within the dust collection hood 12, rapidly drawing the generated dust into the cyclone separator 7 and the bag filter 8 for processing. The cyclone separator 7 intercepts large dust particles, and the bag filter 8 processes fine powder. The laser dust sensor 22 in the dust-laden gas state detection mechanism 2 monitors the dust concentration in the inhaled dust-laden gas in real time and feeds back a signal value to the PLC controller 13. The PLC controller 13 then adjusts the setting of the miniature laser rangefinder 57 within the feedback adjustment mechanism 5 based on the signal fed back by the laser dust sensor 22. Specifically, when a high dust concentration is detected, the PLC controller 13 sets a smaller distance threshold for the miniature laser rangefinder 57. The PLC controller 13 then controls the electric slide rail 52 to drive the moving plate 53 and potentiometer 54 to move until the distance between the moving plate 53 and the miniature laser rangefinder 57 reaches the threshold set by the miniature laser rangefinder 57. The movement of the potentiometer 54 causes the transmission gear 55 connected to its rotating end to mesh with the transmission rack 56, thus causing the rotating end of the potentiometer 54 to rotate. This gradually reduces the resistance of the potentiometer 54. The potentiometer 54 is connected in series in the power supply circuit of the induced draft fan 10, which is a DC motor. The increased power supply current of the induced draft fan 10 results in a higher operating power and a larger ventilation volume for the dust-laden gas. Conversely, when the detected dust concentration decreases, the PLC controller 13 sets a higher distance threshold for the miniature laser rangefinder 57. At this time, the electric slide rail 52 drives the moving plate 53 and potentiometer 54 to move in the opposite direction until the distance threshold set by the miniature laser rangefinder 57 is reached again. Furthermore, the reverse movement of the potentiometer 54 increases its resistance, causing a decrease in the power of the induced draft fan 10 and a decrease in the ventilation volume for the dust-laden gas. This achieves automatic adjustment of the ventilation volume based on changes in dust concentration, as dust concentration is not constant during mining operations. When the workload is high, the instantaneous dust concentration can rise sharply. When the workload is low, the dust concentration will drop significantly. If the air volume of the induced draft fan 10 is fixed, when the dust concentration rises sharply, the fixed air volume cannot remove the excessive dust in time (the amount of dust generated per unit time is greater than the carrying capacity of the induced draft fan 10). This causes the dust-laden airflow to overflow from the mining machine working face (such as near the cutting head or transfer point), resulting in the dust concentration in the working environment exceeding the standard, which endangers the health of workers and violates environmental protection regulations. Moreover, the induced draft fan 10 is the main energy-consuming equipment of the dust removal system. Its energy consumption is proportional to the cube of the air volume (a 10% reduction in air volume can reduce energy consumption by 27%). In the fixed air volume mode, the "passage volume" at low dust concentration will cause huge energy waste. The online moisture content sensor 23 inside the dust-laden gas state detection mechanism 2 monitors the dryness of dust particles in the dust-laden airflow in real time. When the detected dryness of the dust particles is high enough to affect the operation of the cyclone separator 7 and the bag filter 8, the pre-spray water conditioning mechanism 3 is triggered. Specifically, the PLC controller 13 controls the power supply equipment to supply power to the thrust electromagnetic plate 68 inside the triggering mechanism 6 based on the signal fed back by the online moisture content sensor 23. The thrust electromagnetic plate 68 generates the same magnetism as the thrust permanent magnet plate 67 when energized, thereby making the insulation Plate 63 drives conductive plate 65 to move toward electrical contact plate 66 against the elastic force of reset spring 64. The lower the humidity of the dust-laden airflow detected by online moisture content sensor 23, the greater the current supplied by the power supply equipment to the thrust electromagnetic plate 68. When the moisture content of the dust-laden airflow detected by online moisture content sensor 23 is low to the threshold, the power supply current of thrust electromagnetic plate 68 is sufficient, thereby enabling thrust electromagnetic plate 68 to generate sufficient magnetic thrust, so that conductive plate 65 and electrical contact plate 66 come into contact, connecting the power supply circuit of pre-spray water conditioning mechanism 3, so that pre-spray water conditioning mechanism 3 is put into operation. Water pump 36, in conjunction with water supply pipe 35, draws water from an external source and delivers it to the hollow water supply cylinder 34. The water is then sprayed out through multiple spray nozzles 33 to humidify the dust-laden airflow. PLC controller 13 adjusts the opening and closing degree of the electrically controlled gate valve 37 on water supply pipe 35 based on the dryness of the dust-laden airflow fed back by online moisture content sensor 23. The drier the dust-laden airflow, the greater the amount of water needed to reduce the stickiness of the dust particles. In this case, PLC controller 13 controls the opening and closing degree of electrically controlled gate valve 37 to be larger, performing a larger amount of water spraying. Furthermore, PLC controller 13 also synchronously adjusts the opening and closing degree of electrically controlled gate valve 37 based on the dust concentration fed back by laser dust sensor 22. Since higher dust concentrations result in increased power for induced draft fan 10, PLC controller 13... The total amount of dust to be processed per unit time is calculated by multiplying the dust concentration and ventilation volume. The opening and closing degree of the electrically controlled gate valve 37 is then adjusted accordingly. In short, the drier the dust particles, the higher the dust concentration, and the greater the ventilation volume, the greater the opening and closing degree of the electrically controlled gate valve 37 will be, allowing more water to be delivered to the spray head 33 for humidification of the dust particles. This ensures the stability of the subsequent operation of the cyclone separator 7 and bag filter 8, because a dry state strengthens the adsorption forces between dust particles. These forces are the essential source of "stickiness." The "stickiness" of dust particles is essentially the mutual adsorption force between particles, among which van der Waals forces (intermolecular electrostatic attraction) are one of the most fundamental forces. The magnitude of van der Waals forces is inversely proportional to the sixth power of the inter-particle surface distance (the closer the distance, the stronger the force). When dust is extremely dry, the particle surface has almost no moisture, and adjacent particles can directly contact each other (the distance shrinks to the nanometer scale). Van der Waals forces will increase dramatically due to the shortened distance. In mining operations (cutting, crushing, and transporting), dust particles generate a large amount of static charge due to friction and collision. The "sticky effect" of static electricity is greatly amplified when dry. In dry dust, there is almost no conductive medium, and static charge cannot dissipate, accumulating on the particle surface over a long period. At this time, particles with opposite charges will be strongly attracted by "electrostatic attraction" (similar to a magnet attracting iron filings), forming stable "clumps," resulting in a significant increase in viscosity. The core function of the cyclone separator 7 is to separate large dust particles. The operation relies on centrifugal force to cause dust to settle after impacting the cylinder wall. If sticky dust directly enters the cyclone separator 7, large sticky dust particles will adhere to the cylinder wall due to their own stickiness (especially the ash discharge port at the bottom of the cone), gradually forming "scaling". This leads to a reduction in the effective flow cross-section of the cyclone separator 7, a decrease in centrifugal force, and in severe cases, even complete blockage. For the small dust particles that subsequently enter the bag filter 8, if the sticky small particles are not treated, they will stick to the surface of the filter bag like "glue", causing the dust removal to fail. After the pre-spray water conditioning mechanism 3 adaptively sprays water on the dust particles, the water forms a uniform water film on the surface of the dust particles, separating the dust particles that were originally in direct contact. This greatly weakens the intermolecular forces (van der Waals forces) between the particles, and the water film can conduct electric charge.This process rapidly dissipates the static charge on the particle surface, causing the polar water molecules to adhere to the dust surface, balancing the charge distribution of the particles, reducing the attraction between opposite charges, and thus lowering the adhesion between particles. This effectively prevents dust particles from easily causing blockages in the cyclone separator 7 and bag filter 8. The PLC controller 13 also self-adjusts the angle threshold of the encoder 48 in the inlet air velocity self-regulation mechanism 4 based on the dust concentration signal fed back by the laser dust sensor 22. Specifically, when the dust concentration signal is higher, the PLC controller 13 sets the angle threshold of the encoder 48 to be lower, that is, the servo motor 47 drives the transmission shaft 45 to rotate a smaller angle. The transmission shaft 45, in conjunction with the bevel gear assembly 46, drives the rotating shaft 42 to drive the regulating flap 43 to rotate a smaller angle, making the ventilation cross-sectional area of ​​the ventilation shell 41 relatively larger. This is because when the dust concentration reported by the laser dust sensor 22 is higher, the PLC controller 13 will cooperate with the feedback adjustment mechanism 5 to control the power of the induced draft fan 10 to increase, thereby increasing the ventilation air volume. In order to ensure the stability of the air velocity of the dust-laden airflow entering the cyclone separator 7, simultaneously increasing the cross-sectional area of ​​the ventilation opening can effectively reduce the air velocity. Wind speed = air volume / inlet cross-sectional area. When the air volume increases, the inlet cross-sectional area increases simultaneously to ensure stable wind speed. The separation efficiency and stability of the cyclone separator 7 are highly dependent on the inlet wind speed, internal flow field distribution, and dust discharge smoothness. Under normal operating conditions, the optimal inlet wind speed of the cyclone separator 7 is 12-20 m / s. If the wind speed is too low (<12 m / s), the centrifugal force will be insufficient, the separation efficiency of coarse particles will decrease, and more coarse powder will enter the bag filter 8, aggravating the wear of the filter bag. If the wind speed is too high (>25 m / s), the internal vortex of the cyclone separator 7 will be intensified, and the separated dust will be re-rolled up ("back mixing phenomenon"), and the separation efficiency will decrease. At the same time, the high-speed airflow will wash the cylinder wall, aggravating the wear of the equipment (especially the cone section and dust discharge port). By adjusting the inlet wind speed of the cyclone separator 7, the problem caused by the change in ventilation volume due to the change in dust concentration can be effectively solved. When the PLC controller 13 controls the movement of the electric slide rail 52 based on the signal fed back from the laser dust sensor 22, the movement of the moving plate 53 driven by the electric slide rail 52 will drive the pressure rod 59 and the pressure plate 510 to press against the programmable electronic pressure switch 58 through the pressure force of the compression spring 511. The pressure force generated by the compression spring 511 is based on the formula f=kx, so that the pressure value of the pressure plate 510 on the programmable electronic pressure switch 58 is linearly positively correlated with the deformation of the compression spring 511. That is, the higher the dust concentration and the greater the ventilation volume, the greater the pressure value of the pressure plate 510 on the programmable electronic pressure switch 58. The programmable electronic pressure switch 58 feeds back signals to the PLC controller 13 based on several preset pressure parameter ranges to control the number of filter bag units put into the bag dust collector 8. The greater the pressure on the programmable electronic pressure switch 58, the more filter bag units the PLC controller 13 controls the bag filter 8 to open (the use of filter bag units in the bag filter 8 is existing technology and will not be elaborated here). This is because when the air volume increases, a relatively small number of filter bag units will cause the filtration speed of a single filter bag unit to be too fast, which will shorten the life of the filter bag fibers due to the high-speed airflow and cause fine dust to easily penetrate the filter bag. Conversely, when the air volume is low, a relatively large number of filter bag units will cause the filtration speed of a single filter bag unit to be too slow, resulting in slow dust deposition, low filter bag utilization, uneven system resistance distribution, and affecting the stable operation of the bag filter 8. The number of filter bag units put into the bag filter 8 is automatically adjusted based on the ventilation air volume to ensure the stable filtration speed of the bag filter 8.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
