However, after long-term accumulation, coal undergoes continuous oxidation in the coal bin, resulting in heat accumulation, continuous temperature rise of the coal, and ultimately leading to coal spontaneous combustion. Coal spontaneous combustion not only causes certain economic losses but also easily causes fires.

[0003] In the prior art, there has been some research on methods for preventing coal spontaneous combustion. Referring to the patent document with the application number 202320874226.9, it discloses a silo body and a nitrogen supply pipe.
