DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The subject matter described herein will now be discussed with reference to example implementations. It should be understood that discussions of these implementations are merely provided to enable those skilled in the art to better understand so as to be able to implement the subject matter described herein, and variations of elements discussed can be made by one skilled in the art within the scope of the present specification. Various examples can omit, substitute, or add various procedures or components as appropriate. Also, it should be understood that instead of being mounted on a single device, the features described in some examples can be distributed across multiple devices.
[0031] As shown in Figure 1 - Figure 3 The present embodiment provides a dust falling device for a mining working face, which comprises a machine body 100, a rocker arm 110, and a cutting head 130 connected by a rotating shaft 120. The machine body 100, the rocker arm 110, the rotating shaft 120, and the cutting head 130 form an existing machine, and thus the specific structure and connection mode of the machine body 100, the rocker arm 110, the rotating shaft 120, and the cutting head 130 are not described in detail in the present embodiment. The present embodiment further comprises:
[0032] A source combination box 200 is arranged outside the machine body 100. The source combination box 200 comprises a water storage tank, a foaming liquid storage tank, and a compressed gas storage tank fixedly connected outside the machine body 100. An appropriate amount of dust suppressant can be added to the inside of the foaming liquid storage tank to ensure that the foaming liquid has good dust suppression performance. The water storage tank, the foaming liquid storage tank, and the compressed gas storage tank are all fixedly connected with a mine rubber pipe outside. The mine rubber pipe can adapt to the harsh coal mining environment with high risk and high wear;
[0033] The foam generating mechanism 300 is located outside the rocker arm 110 and connected to the power supply assembly box 200. The power supply assembly box 200 provides water, foaming liquid and compressed gas to the foam generating mechanism 300 so that the foam generating mechanism 300 generates foam.
[0034] A foam output mechanism 400 is disposed outside the rocker arm 110 and connected to the foam generating mechanism 300. The foam output mechanism 400 includes a conical output cover 410 fixedly sleeved outside the rotating shaft 120. The end of the conical output cover 410 away from the cutting head 130 is connected to two U-shaped distribution chambers 440 that bypass the rocker arm 110. The ends of the two U-shaped distribution chambers 440 away from the conical output cover 410 are connected to a foam bend 450 connected to the foam cylinder 331 described below. The high-pressure foam generated by the foam generating mechanism 300 can enter the two U-shaped distribution chambers 440 through the foam bend 450. The foam enters the U-shaped distribution chamber 440 and then the conical output hood 410. The conical output hood 410 is equipped with a nano-level honeycomb mesh 420 near the cutting head 130. The nano-level honeycomb mesh 420 is made of corrosion-resistant metal or high-strength engineering plastic. The foam passing through the nano-level honeycomb mesh 420 can be highly segmented to generate a large number of micron and nano-level foams, thereby effectively improving the foam's coverage and dust suppression effect. The foam inside the conical output hood 410 can be sprayed at an angle through the nano-level honeycomb mesh 420 and form an annular foam dust suppression area that wraps around the cutting head 130.
[0035] The above structure allows high-pressure foam to enter the conical output hood 410 and then be sprayed out in large quantities of micron and nano-sized foam through the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420 to form an annular foam dust suppression area that surrounds the cutting head 130, thereby effectively preventing dust from escaping to the outside.
[0036] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the foam generating mechanism 300 is mounted on the outside of the rocker arm 110 via a bracket. The foam generating mechanism 300 includes an explosion-proof water valve 310, an ejector 320, and a spiral device 330 fixedly connected to the outside of the bracket. The explosion-proof water valve 310, the ejector 320, and the spiral device 330 work together to generate uniform high-pressure foam.
[0037] The inlet of the explosion-proof water valve 310 is connected to the mining hose outside the water storage tank, and the outlet of the explosion-proof water valve 310 is connected to the ejector 320. By activating the explosion-proof water valve 310, high-pressure water can be input into the ejector 320 through the mining hose.
[0038] The jet injector 320 includes a pre-mixing pipe 321 and a post-diffuser pipe 322 that are fixedly connected to each other. A jet nozzle 323 connected to the outlet of an explosion-proof water valve 310 is installed inside the pre-mixing pipe 321. The jet nozzle 323 and the internal space of the pre-mixing pipe 321 form a suction chamber 324. A liquid suction pipe 325 and an air suction pipe 326 connected to the suction chamber 324 are provided outside the pre-mixing pipe 321. The liquid suction pipe 325 is connected to a mining hose outside the foaming liquid storage tank. The suction pipe 326 is connected to the mining hose outside the compressed gas storage tank. After the high-pressure water enters through the jet nozzle 323, according to Bernoulli's theorem, the fluid velocity increases and the pressure decreases accordingly, so that the suction chamber 324 outside the jet nozzle 323 will form a negative pressure environment, so that the liquid suction pipe 325 and the air suction pipe 326 will draw in the foaming liquid and high-pressure gas. The water, foaming liquid and high-pressure gas are concentrated and mixed inside the pre-mixing pipe 321 and then enter the post-diffuser pipe 322 for diffusion mixing.
[0039] The spiral device 330 includes a foam cylinder 331 connected to the post-diffuser 322. The foam cylinder 331 is equipped with spiral blades 332 extending axially. The foam that has been diffused and mixed inside the post-diffuser 322 enters the foam cylinder 331 and continues to mix along the axial direction of the spiral blades 332. The foam cylinder 331 is also equipped with a foaming net 333 that is away from the post-diffuser 322. The uniformly mixed foam first passes through the foaming net 333 to generate a large number of fine foams, and then enters the foam bend 450.
[0040] The above structure enables the jet injector 320 to perform primary foaming technology and the spiral injector 330 to perform secondary foaming technology. The primary foaming of the jet injector 320 and the secondary foaming of the spiral injector 330 can provide a foundation for the subsequent tertiary foaming of the nanoscale honeycomb mesh 420.
[0041] In addition, such as Figure 5 - Figure 6 As shown, the conical output hood 410 consists of an annular plate, an inner cylinder hood, and an outer conical hood. One side of the annular plate is fixedly connected to the U-shaped distribution chamber 440, and the other side of the annular plate is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder hood and the outer conical hood. The conical output hood 410 is equipped with an adjusting component 430 for adjusting the foam spray thickness. The amount of dust generated in different cutting scenarios varies greatly. The adjusting component 430 can adjust the foam spray thickness according to the amount of dust generated, avoiding the problem of foam waste due to excessive thickness and ineffective dust suppression due to excessive thinness.
[0042] The adjusting component 430 includes a movable sleeve 431 slidably connected to the outside of the inner cylinder cover. The outer conical surface of the movable sleeve 431 is inclined with the outer conical cover to ensure that the foam can be output at an angle to form an annular foam dust suppression area that surrounds the cutting head 130. Figure 5The movable sleeve 431 is closest to the nano-level honeycomb mesh 420. At this time, the foam thickness sprayed through the nano-level honeycomb mesh 420 is at its maximum. Two connecting rods 432 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the end of the movable sleeve 431 near the annular plate. Both connecting rods 432 pass through the annular plate and are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 433. A through hole is opened in the middle of the connecting plate 433. A threaded sleeve 434 is rotatably connected to the outside of the through hole through a rotating cylinder. A threaded rod 435 is threadedly connected inside the threaded sleeve 434, passing through the through hole and fixedly connected to the outside of the outer cone cover. By rotating the threaded sleeve 434, the movable sleeve 431 can be moved through the connecting plate 433 and the connecting rod 432. The further the movable sleeve 431 is from the nano-level honeycomb mesh 420, the smaller the gap between the movable sleeve 431 and the outer cone cover, and the smaller the foam thickness sprayed through the nano-level honeycomb mesh 420. Conversely, the closer the movable sleeve 431 is to the outer cone cover, the larger the foam thickness.
[0043] The above structure allows the movable sleeve 431 to move to change the distance between itself and the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420, thereby changing the thickness of the foam sprayed by the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420, avoiding the problem of foam waste caused by excessive thickness and ineffective dust suppression caused by excessive thinness.
[0044] The specific working principle of this implementation is as follows: First, ensure that each storage tank in the power supply combination box 200 is in the power supply state. An appropriate amount of dust suppressant can be added inside the foaming liquid storage tank to ensure that the foaming liquid has good dust suppression performance.
[0045] Then, the explosion-proof water valve 310 is activated, allowing high-pressure water to enter the jet nozzle 323 of the jet injector 320 through the mining hose. After the high-pressure water jet nozzle 323 enters, a negative pressure environment is formed inside the suction chamber 324, causing the liquid suction pipe 325 and the air suction pipe 326 to draw in foaming liquid and high-pressure gas through the mining hose. This allows the water, foaming liquid, and high-pressure gas to be concentrated and mixed inside the pre-mixing pipe 321. The concentrated foam then enters the post-diffuser pipe 322 for diffusion and mixing. The diffused and mixed foam then enters the foam cylinder 331 and continues to mix along the axial extension direction of the spiral blades 332 to form uniform foam. The uniformly mixed foam then passes through the foaming net 333 to generate a large number of fine foams. In other words, water, foaming liquid, and high-pressure gas can undergo primary foaming through the jet injector 320 and secondary foaming through the spiral injector 330 to form a large number of uniform, high-pressure fine foams.
[0046] Subsequently, uniform, high-pressure fine foam enters two U-shaped distribution chambers 440 through foam bend 450, then enters conical output hood 410. The foam inside conical output hood 410 then enters the gap between moving sleeve 431 and outer cone hood, and finally passes through nano-level honeycomb mesh 420 to spray out a large number of micron and nano-level foams, forming an annular foam dust suppression area that wraps around cutting head 130, thereby effectively preventing dust from escaping to the outside.
[0047] When the thickness of the foam sprayed by the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420 needs to be adjusted according to the amount of dust generated, the threaded sleeves 434 on both sides can be rotated. Taking the rotation of one threaded sleeve 434 as an example, by rotating the threaded sleeve 434, the connecting plate 433 drives the moving sleeve 431 to move through the connecting rod 432, thereby changing the distance between the moving sleeve 431 and the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420. The farther the moving sleeve 431 is from the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420, the smaller the gap between the moving sleeve 431 and the outer cone, and the thinner the foam sprayed through the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420. Conversely, the closer the moving sleeve 431 is to the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420, the larger the gap between the moving sleeve 431 and the outer cone, and the thicker the foam sprayed through the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420. In this way, the thickness of the foam sprayed by the nano-scale honeycomb mesh 420 can be adjusted, avoiding the problems of excessive foam waste due to excessive thickness and ineffective dust suppression due to excessive thinness.
[0048] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the embodiments are not limited to the specific implementation methods described above. The specific implementation methods described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the embodiments described above, all of which are within the protection scope of the embodiments described above.
