Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mine safety, in particular to a spontaneous combustion detection and fire extinguishing device in an underground coal mine. Background Art

[0002] Coal spontaneous combustion can not only produce a large amount of toxic and harmful gases, but also easily cause thermal disasters such as gas explosions. In the early stages of coal spontaneous combustion, it does not produce a lot of smoke and obvious flames, but it can produce a large amount of toxic and harmful gases, posing a huge threat to the lives of workers underground in coal mines. Coal mines are prone to accumulate a large amount of flammable and explosive gases during the mining process. The coal body is prone to detonate flammable and explosive gases during spontaneous combustion. After the gas is detonated, coal dust accumulates in a relatively closed space. Under the action of the ignition source, it is easy to cause a coal dust explosion.

[0003] The existing referenceable Chinese utility model patent with announcement number: CN215949361U discloses a monitoring and fire-extinguishing device for preventing spontaneous combustion of coal seams in underground coal mine drilling, including: an orifice insert, an orifice water injection pipe, a slag discharge pipe, an exhaust pipe, a visualization device, a first CO monitoring device and a second CO monitoring device. The orifice insert is used to be sealed and inserted in the borehole, and the orifice water injection pipe, the slag discharge pipe and the exhaust pipe are all connected to the side wall of the orifice insert, and when in use, the orifice water injection pipe, the slag discharge pipe and the exhaust pipe are located outside the borehole. The visualization device is connected to the exhaust pipe, and the dust in the exhaust air can be observed through the visualization device. The first CO monitoring device is arranged at a position outside the borehole near the borehole to monitor the CO leaking from the borehole. The second CO monitoring device is arranged in the tube cavity of the exhaust pipe at the gas outlet end. The monitoring and fire-extinguishing device for preventing spontaneous combustion of the utility model can timely detect the change of CO concentration in the borehole, and timely extinguish the fire, thereby reducing the harm of harmful gases to on-site construction personnel.

[0004] Existing detection fire extinguishing devices are generally connected in series through nitrogen pipelines, so that when a fire extinguishing device at a certain place in the mine detects that the carbon monoxide concentration is too high, the fire extinguishing device will allow the nitrogen in the pipeline to enter the mine, so that a section of the mine is filled with nitrogen, thereby isolating oxygen, so that the coal mine is extinguished without combustion-supporting gas. Since nitrogen needs to be introduced on both sides before and after the spontaneous combustion point to isolate the oxygen inside the tunnels on both sides of the spontaneous combustion point, this method turns on a fire extinguishing device at one place, and the air pressure inside the lower pipeline is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the nitrogen flow rate of the lower fire extinguishing device, affecting the blocking efficiency. At the same time, most of the existing detection fire extinguishing devices only monitor whether spontaneous combustion occurs in coal mines through the carbon monoxide content. Since natural oxidation of coal mines will produce carbon monoxide, this method has low reliability. Utility Model Content

[0009] As an optimal technical solution of the utility model, a top cover is movably installed on the top of the shell, connecting plates are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the shell, a limiting ring is fixedly installed on the outside of the air pump, and a fixing plate is fixedly installed on the left end of the air pump; the shell can protect the air pump.

[0010] As the preferred technical solution of the utility model, the top cover is movably connected to the outer shell by bolts, and the connected plates are installed on the left and right sides of the outer shell in a mirror-symmetrical manner and front-to-back symmetrical manner with the center of the outer shell as a reference, and the bottom ends of the limit ring and the fixing plate are fixedly connected to the outer shell; the top cover can close the top end of the outer shell.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the branch pipe is fixedly connected to the shell through a partition, and the rear end of the branch pipe transversely penetrates the rear wall of the shell from front to back; the branch pipe can facilitate nitrogen to enter the exhaust pipe.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the air intake pipe is connected to the branch pipe through an air pump, the air intake pipe penetrates the front wall of the shell horizontally from front to back, and the exhaust pipe penetrates the bottom surface of the shell; the air intake pipe can facilitate nitrogen to enter the air pump.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the detection tube is connected to the gas pipe, and the fixing frame is symmetrically installed on the upper and lower sides of the detection tube with the center of the detection tube as a reference; the detection tube can limit the gas flow direction.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the carbon monoxide sensor is fixedly installed at the center of the fixing frame above the detection tube, and the ethylene sensor is fixedly installed at the center of the fixing frame below the detection tube; the fixing frame can fix the carbon monoxide sensor and the ethylene sensor.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a spontaneous combustion detection and extinguishing device for underground coal mines, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The utility model provides an ethylene sensor. In the adsorbed gas of coal, there is no CH gas component. When the coal temperature reaches 108.8°C during the heating and oxidation process of coal, CH (ethylene) is generated, and ethane (CH) and propane (CH) and other gases are generated at the same time, indicating that a high temperature point above 108.8°C exists. Through the setting of the gas pipeline, one end of the gas pipeline is located at the opening at the lower end of the harness pipe, and the other end is connected to the gas detection equipment outside the mine. At the same time, a detection tube is connected to the bottom of the gas pipeline. When the gas passes through the detection tube, the carbon monoxide sensor can detect the carbon monoxide content of the gas, and the ethylene sensor can detect whether there is ethylene in the gas. The logic controller performs logical operations on the monitoring data of the carbon monoxide sensor and the ethylene sensor, and controls the opening of the solenoid valve according to the operation results so that nitrogen enters the mine from the pipeline. This method can improve the reliability of the device.

[0017] 2. The utility model sets an air pump. After the logic controller determines that coal spontaneous combustion has occurred based on the monitoring data of the carbon monoxide sensor and the ethylene sensor, the logic controller will start the air pump. After the air pump is started, nitrogen will be transported from the air intake pipe to the inside of the branch pipe. Since the branch pipe is connected to the solenoid valve at the bottom, the permeability of the solenoid valve is smaller than that of the nitrogen delivery pipe, which will gradually increase the internal air pressure of the nitrogen delivery pipe on the rear side of the fire extinguishing device. In this way, the internal air pressure of the nitrogen delivery pipe between the fire extinguishing devices on both sides of the fire point can be maintained at a certain pressure, thereby avoiding a small nitrogen flow rate at the rear end due to insufficient air pressure in the pipeline, which affects the nitrogen plugging efficiency.

[0034] When in use, it is necessary to install it every fifty meters underground, and connect the air intake pipe 19 of the corresponding equipment with the branch pipe 15 end to end, and limit the position of the gas pipe 111 through the harness pipe 110. The end of the gas pipe 111 needs to be connected to the gas monitoring equipment outside the mine through an electromagnetic valve. There is no C2H4 gas component in the adsorbed gas of the coal. When the coal temperature reaches 108.8°C during the heating and oxidation process of the coal, C2H4 (ethylene) is produced, and ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8) and other gases are also produced, indicating that a high temperature point above 108.8°C exists.
