Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fire-fighting equipment, in particular to an automatic fire extinguishing device for mine belt conveyors. Background Technique
[0002] At present, the mine environment is complex, and the belt system is generally relied on for mineral transportation in mining operations. However, in this process, belt conveyors are often at risk of local high temperature and aging and short-circuit of circuits due to natural factors such as vibration and friction, which are extremely likely to induce fire accidents. More seriously, a large amount of dust particles and explosive gases pervade deep in the mine. Catalyzed by factors such as static electricity, high-temperature friction, and short circuit generated during the long-term operation of the belt conveyor, these potential hazard sources are extremely likely to form mixed explosives, thereby triggering catastrophic explosions and fires, seriously threatening the lives and property safety of mining personnel.
[0003] Regrettably, the current detection means such as monitoring cameras and smoke detectors commonly used in mining areas have relatively single detection methods, not only poor stability but also limited reaction sensitivity, and it is difficult to meet the standard of intelligent monitoring. In an environment with thick smoke and dust, the smoke detector is more likely to trigger the fire extinguishing device due to misjudgment, resulting in unnecessary waste of resources and potential damage. In addition, the selection of fire extinguishing agents is also quite limited. Simply relying on water for fire extinguishing can control the fire to a certain extent, but it often causes irreversible damage to the belt conveyor equipment, such as rust of metal parts and damage to electrical equipment, undoubtedly increasing the maintenance cost and safety risk of mining area equipment.
[0004] Therefore, based on the above technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop an automatic fire extinguishing device for mine belt conveyors. Content of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0018] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present utility model will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present utility model by showing examples of the present utility model.
[0019] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a technical solution for an automatic fire extinguishing device for a mine belt conveyor: including a mine belt device, which is composed of a driving motor 15 and a conveyor belt 14. An automatic fire extinguishing component is arranged above the mine belt device. The automatic fire extinguishing component is composed of a PLC control host 1, a motor fire detection mechanism and a belt conveyor fire detection mechanism. The PLC control host 1 is connected to the motor fire detection mechanism and the belt conveyor fire detection mechanism. The belt conveyor fire detection mechanism includes a flame sensor 2 and an infrared thermal imager 3. The flame sensor 2 and the infrared thermal imager 3 are located above the mine belt device. The motor fire detection mechanism includes a cable-type temperature sensing cable 4, and the cable-type temperature sensing cable 4 is installed on the driving motor 15. The PLC control host 1 is connected to the driving motor 15 through a linkage feedback signal line 5. The PLC control host 1 is also connected to an audible and visual warning light 17, a manual starter 18 and a reset switch 19. The cable-type temperature sensing cable 4 is wound outside the driving motor 15, and the cable-type temperature sensing cable 4 is arranged in an "S" shape for contact temperature detection, mainly detecting fires caused by motor failures or high temperatures. A water-based agent bottle 16 is arranged above the mine belt device, and a dry powder agent bottle 13 is arranged on the side of the mine belt device. Release components are installed on both the water-based agent bottle 16 and the dry powder agent bottle 13;
[0020] The output ends of the water-based agent bottle 16 and the dry powder agent bottle 13 are respectively connected to a water-based agent main pipe 6 and a dry powder agent main pipe 12. The release components both include electric ball valves 9, and the electric ball valves 9 are connected to the PLC control host 1. The two electric ball valves 9 are respectively communicated with the water-based agent main pipe 6 and the dry powder agent main pipe 12. Pressure sensors 10 are installed on both the water-based agent bottle 16 and the dry powder agent bottle 13, and the pressure sensors 10 are connected to the PLC control host 1. Emergency manual valves 11 are installed on both the water-based agent main pipe 6 and the dry powder agent main pipe 12;
[0021] The tails of the water-based agent main pipe 6 and the dry powder agent main pipe 12 are both connected to a spray head pipeline 7, and multiple groups of agent spray heads 8 are installed on the spray head pipeline 7.
[0022] Working principle: When the mine belt conveyor is in a working state, this automatic fire extinguishing device comprehensively monitors each potential fire source point of the equipment. The PLC control host 1, as the core of the entire system, continuously receives and processes real-time data from the flame sensor 2, the infrared thermal imager 3, and the cable-type temperature sensing cable 4.
[0023] The flame sensor 2 mainly detects open flames around the equipment. Once a flame signal is detected, it will immediately feedback the information to the PLC control host 1. At the same time, the infrared thermal imager 3 detects temperature anomalies on the surface of the equipment in a non-contact manner to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of fire detection. It should be noted that this device uses an "AND" logic association, that is, only when both the flame sensor 2 and the infrared thermal imager 3 detect a fire signal at the same time, will the PLC control host 1 determine it as a real fire, thus avoiding false triggering.
[0024] After confirming the fire, the PLC control host 1 will immediately start the preset fire extinguishing program. First, it sends a stop signal to the drive motor 15 through the linkage feedback signal wire 5 to ensure that the belt conveyor stops running during the fire extinguishing process and prevent the spread of fire. Subsequently, the PLC control host 1 controls the corresponding electric ball valve 9 to open and selects to release water-based agent or dry powder agent according to the specific situation of the fire. The pressure sensor 10 monitors the pressure change in the agent bottle in real time to ensure the smooth and stable output of the agent.
[0025] The water-based agent and the dry powder agent are respectively transported to the nozzle pipeline 7 through the water-based agent main pipe 6 and the dry powder agent main pipe 12, and then evenly sprayed on the fire source area by multiple groups of agent nozzles 8. The water-based agent is mainly used to cool and suppress the flame, while the dry powder agent extinguishes the flame through chemical action and prevents re-ignition. The flexible selection and application of the two agents greatly improve the fire extinguishing efficiency and effect.
[0026] In addition, during the fire extinguishing process, the audible and visual warning light 17 will be started synchronously to emit a strong audible and visual alarm signal to remind the on-site personnel to pay attention and take corresponding safety measures. At the same time, the setting of the manual starter 18 and the reset switch 19 provides convenience for manual operation in case of emergency and system reset after fire extinguishing.
[0027] This mine belt conveyor automatic fire extinguishing device realizes the early detection and rapid response to the fire of the belt conveyor equipment through advanced detection technology and precise control system. Its unique "AND" logic association design, flexible selection of fire extinguishing agents, and perfect alarm and reset functions together constitute an efficient, reliable and intelligent fire extinguishing system, providing a strong guarantee for the safe operation of the mine belt conveyor.
[0028] When a fire occurs in the belt or the motor, both detect the fire through different detectors respectively, and use the signal output wire to feedback to the host. The host identifies through logic whether it is a fire in the belt area or the motor area, and then releases different agents through different fire extinguishing equipment to achieve the fire extinguishing effect.
[0029] I. Manual startup
[0030] When a person first discovers a fire or abnormal high temperature at the scene, the person can manually press the manual start switch without a warning time and with a rapid response.
[0031] II. Mechanical emergency start
[0032] In special cases, when the device cannot be started by automatic start or manual start, manually open the emergency manual valve to release the agent into the fire area.
