Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of safety and disaster relief equipment, and in particular to a gas-liquid two-phase flow coaxial mixing chamber device. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of the intelligence level of mines, the production intensity of mines has also increased significantly. A large number of large-height fully-mechanized mining and large-height fully-mechanized caving working faces have emerged. Compared with general coal seam mining, the thickness of the coal cut increases, the amount of coal left in the goaf and the amount of air leakage in the goaf increase. The carbon monoxide produced by the accelerated oxidation and decomposition of the coal left in the goaf due to air leakage can easily cause the return air corner of the working face, and even the return air flow over-limit alarm. The foam generating devices in traditional coal mines are often plagued by bulky size, low efficiency and complex operation. In emergency situations such as fires or coal dust explosions, it is extremely important to quickly and effectively generate and deploy foam, but existing technologies often cannot meet this demand. In addition, since traditional devices require a large space and are not easy to move in the narrow mine environment, their flexibility and timeliness of use are limited. Existing foam generating devices often rely on external power drives, such as electric pumps or gas pressure. The application of these driving methods in coal mines is greatly limited, especially in environments where electricity cannot be supplied and compressed gas cannot be used. Furthermore, current equipment often fails to precisely control the ratio of air, water, and foam liquid when mixing, which directly impacts the foam's quality and effectiveness in sealing air leaks. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen are the most commonly used inert gases for underground firefighting. Filling the foam with inert gas allows the synergistic effects of the foam and inert gas to extinguish the fire, improving firefighting efficiency. The foam's performance is also a key factor in determining the effectiveness of an inert gas foam firefighting system, making the foam generator a key component of the system. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Foam generating devices in traditional coal mines are often plagued by bulky size, low efficiency and complex operation. In emergency situations, such as fires or coal dust explosions, it is extremely important to quickly and effectively generate and deploy foam, but existing technologies often cannot meet this demand. In addition, since traditional devices require a large space and are not easy to move in the narrow environment of a mine, their flexibility and timeliness of use are limited. Existing foam generating devices often rely on external power drives, such as electric pumps or gas pressure. The application of these driving methods in coal mines is greatly limited, especially in environments where power supply and compressed gas cannot be used. In the gas-liquid two-phase flow coaxial mixing chamber device provided in this application, the innovative structural design and parameter selection avoid the pulsation phenomenon in the pipeline caused by improper design or control of air flow and liquid flow or pressure during use, thereby realizing automatic absorption, efficient mixing and release of high-multiple foaming liquid. The compact and lightweight design makes the device not only easy to deploy, but also superior to traditional equipment in response flexibility and ease of operation. The modular structure ensures efficient maintenance and upgrade capabilities.

[0021] The structure of the gas-liquid two-phase flow coaxial mixing chamber device provided in this application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a gas-liquid two-phase flow coaxial mixing chamber device, comprising a first venturi tube 1, a second venturi tube 2 and a quick connector 3; the throat diameter of the second venturi tube 2 is smaller than the throat diameter of the first venturi tube 1; the diffusion section of the second venturi tube 2 is connected to the contraction section of the first venturi tube 2 through the quick connector 3; the contraction section of the second venturi tube 2 is connected to a straight pipe 4; the inlet section of the first venturi tube 1 is connected to an inert gas pipeline, the inlet section of the second venturi tube 2 is connected to a high-pressure water pipeline, and the inlet section of the straight pipe 4 is connected to a high-power foaming liquid pipeline; a turbulent mixing device 5 is provided in the throat of the first venturi tube 1.

[0023] The structures of the first and second Venturi tubes 1 and 2 primarily include an inlet section, a contraction section, a throat, and a divergence section. The inlet section is a short cylindrical section that marks the beginning of the fluid entering the Venturi tube. The contraction section, shaped like a tapered tube, is the gradually converging portion of the Venturi tube, accelerating the fluid as it passes through. The throat is a short straight section, the narrowest part of the Venturi tube, known as the throat. At the throat, the fluid velocity reaches its maximum and the static pressure reaches its minimum. The divergence section is the gradually expanding portion of the Venturi tube. In the divergence section, the fluid velocity gradually decreases and the static pressure gradually increases, converting the fluid's kinetic energy into static pressure energy. The second Venturi tube 2 is plugged into the first Venturi tube 1 via a quick connector 3, enabling quick and easy assembly and flexible operation. The quick connector 3 is made of stainless steel and is specifically designed based on the diameters of the first and second Venturi tubes 1 and 2. It can be connected or disconnected without tools, saving time, effort, and environmentally friendly features. During long-term use, if the first or second venturi tube 1, 2, becomes worn or damaged, only the damaged first or second venturi tube 1, 2, can be replaced, without having to replace both. The straight tube 4 and the second venturi tube 2 can be connected by a fixed connection such as welding, or a removable connection using a quick connector. The modular design of this device ensures efficient maintenance and upgrade capabilities, significantly reducing long-term costs.

[0024] The working principle of the Venturi tube is mainly based on the Bernoulli equation, which states that in an incompressible, stable fluid, as the velocity increases, the static pressure of the fluid will decrease; conversely, as the velocity decreases, the static pressure of the fluid will increase. Specifically, when the fluid passes through the Venturi tube, the flow velocity reaches its maximum and the static pressure reaches its lowest at the narrowest part of the pipe (the throat). As the velocity of the fluid increases, the static pressure energy is converted into dynamic pressure energy. After the throat, the pipe gradually expands, the flow velocity gradually decreases, the static pressure gradually increases, and the dynamic pressure energy is converted into static pressure energy again. When the two fluids enter the pipe through the two sides of the Venturi tube respectively, they are strongly mixed together by the high-speed fluid at the throat.

[0025] The gas-liquid two-phase flow coaxial mixing chamber device structure in this embodiment includes two Venturi chambers, and the second Venturi tube 2 includes a first-level Venturi chamber. High-pressure water automatically absorbs high-multiple foaming liquid into the first-level Venturi chamber through the inlet section of the second Venturi tube 2. The two are preliminarily mixed in the first-level Venturi chamber. After the mixing is completed, they enter the first Venturi tube 1 through the diffusion end of the second Venturi tube 2. At this time, inert gas is filled from the inlet section of the first Venturi tube 1, and further mixing is carried out in the second-level Venturi chamber and the turbulent mixing section in the first Venturi tube 1. During the mixing process, bubbles are generated and broken, and cross-flow is continuously carried out to mix gas and liquid, forming stable bubbles. A uniformly distributed and dense bubbly two-phase flow is ejected at high speed from the diffusion section of the first Venturi tube 1, generating high-quality inert bubbles.

[0026] In some embodiments, a first baffle 11 is disposed within the contraction section of the first Venturi tube 1. The first baffle 11 is tilted, and the angle A between the first baffle 11 and the top line of the first Venturi tube 1 is symmetrical. The tilted first baffle 11 enhances the acceleration effect of the contraction section of the first Venturi tube 1 on the fluid, thereby increasing the flow rate of the fluid passing through.

[0027] In some embodiments, a second baffle 21 is disposed within the converging section of the second Venturi tube 2. The second baffle 21 is tilted, forming an angle B between the second baffle 21 and the top line of the second Venturi tube 2. The two second baffles 21 are symmetrically disposed. The tilted second baffles 21 enhance the acceleration effect of the converging section of the second Venturi tube 2 on the fluid, thereby increasing the velocity of the fluid flowing therethrough.

[0028] In some embodiments, the inlet section of the first venturi tube 1 is provided with a first flange joint 12, and the first venturi tube 1 is connected to the inert gas pipeline through the first flange joint 12; the inlet section of the second venturi tube 2 is provided with a second flange joint 22, and the second venturi tube 2 is connected to the inert gas pipeline through the second flange joint 22, and the end of the straight pipe 4 away from the second venturi tube 2 is provided with an anti-leakage quick-release joint 41. The flange joint is easy to disassemble, has high strength, and good sealing performance. When connecting the flanges, you only need to align the two flanges and then fix them with bolts. The installation and maintenance process is simple and convenient, which can save time and labor costs. At the same time, the flange connection can withstand greater pressure and tension, has good sealing performance, and can effectively prevent fluid leakage. The anti-leakage quick-release joint 41 can also adopt the structural form of a flange joint, or can adopt the form of a plug-in or snap-on joint. In addition, sensors can be set at the inlet section of the first venturi tube 1, the inlet section of the second venturi tube 2 or the inlet section of the straight tube 4 to measure the volumes of the inert gas, high-pressure water and high-power foaming liquid, and accurately control the ratio of high-pressure water, high-power foaming liquid and inert gas.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the turbulent mixing device 5 includes a front bracket 51, a rear bracket 52, a connecting shaft 53 and a spiral blade 54 arranged in the first venturi tube 1; the front bracket 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the throat of the first venturi tube 1, the rear bracket 52 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the throat of the first venturi tube 1, one end of the connecting shaft 53 is rotatably connected to the front bracket 51, and the other end of the connecting shaft 53 is rotatably connected to the rear bracket 52, and the spiral blade 54 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 53 along the connecting shaft 53.

[0030] During the mixing process of high-pressure water, inert gas, and highly foamed liquid, the turbulence and vortices generated by the spoiler destabilize the gas-liquid interface, thereby promoting the diffusion and dissolution of gas molecules into the liquid. This turbulence not only increases the contact area between the gas and liquid but also reduces the size of bubbles, making the gas more easily absorbed by the liquid. Furthermore, by altering the direction and velocity of fluid flow, the spoiler enhances contact and mixing between the inert gas and highly foamed liquid, preventing excessive or insufficient gas concentrations and thus improving mixing quality.

[0031] In some embodiments, the spiral blade 54 is a spiral wire mesh structure.

[0032] In some embodiments, the angle A is 21°±2°.

[0033] In some embodiments, the angle B is 21°±2°.

[0034] Optimization results based on fluid dynamics and experimental verification. This cone angle range helps to achieve the best fluid acceleration and pressure drop effects in the Venturi tube. When the fluid passes through the contraction section of the Venturi tube, the setting of the cone angle will affect the velocity and pressure changes of the fluid. A smaller cone angle will cause the fluid to accelerate too early in the contraction section, and may not fully utilize the gradual contraction and expansion characteristics of the Venturi tube to achieve effective pressure drop and flow measurement. A larger cone angle may cause the fluid to generate excessive resistance in the contraction section, affecting the smooth passage of the fluid and measurement accuracy. After theoretical calculation and experimental verification, a cone angle range of 21°±2° can achieve a balance between fluid acceleration and pressure drop, allowing the Venturi tube to perform well in various application scenarios. It is a more ideal choice for the contraction section of the Venturi tube.

[0035] It’s important to note that the specific design and application of a Venturi tube may vary depending on the fluid medium, operating conditions, and measurement requirements. Therefore, in actual applications, the tapered angle of the Venturi tube may need to be optimized and adjusted based on the specific situation.

[0036] According to the above technical features, the gas-liquid two-phase flow coaxial mixing chamber device provided by the present application, when in use, high-pressure water enters the first-level Venturi chamber in the second Venturi tube 2 from the inlet section of the second Venturi tube 2, at this time, the high-multiple foaming liquid is automatically sucked into the first-level Venturi chamber from the straight tube 4, and the high-multiple foaming liquid and high-pressure water are mixed. The mixed solution is referred to as a mixed solution, and the mixed solution enters the second-level Venturi chamber in the first Venturi tube 1 from the diffusion section of the second Venturi tube 2. At this time, the inlet section of the first Venturi 1 is filled with inert gas, and the inert gas is further mixed with the mixed solution. The mixed solution is ejected at high speed from the diffusion section of the first Venturi tube 1 through the turbulent mixing device 5 in the throat, generating high-quality inert bubbles.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0038] 1. Improved energy efficiency: The gas-liquid two-phase flow coaxial mixing chamber device adopts the independently developed gas-liquid two-phase flow coaxial mixing chamber structure design, which uses the pressure difference of the fluid itself to inhale inert gas and high-expansion foaming liquid. It is convenient and fast, reduces dependence on external power sources, and significantly improves on-site use efficiency.

[0039] 2. Ease of operation: Compared to traditional foam generation systems, the gas-liquid two-phase flow coaxial mixing chamber device can be quickly deployed and the foam generation process can be initiated without complex setup or debugging. This is particularly valuable in emergency situations, shortening response time and improving disaster relief efficiency.

[0040] 3. Consistency and quality of generated foam: The carefully designed device provides a stable negative pressure environment, ensuring the consistency of the mixing ratio of inert gas and foam liquid. By optimizing the gas-liquid mixing ratio and testing the equilibrium bubble breaking mechanism and other key steps, the generated foam characteristics (such as size, density and persistence) are more stable.

[0041] 4. Compact structure, suitable for use in narrow spaces: For application sites with limited space such as coal mines, this utility model adopts a modular and compact design, which is easy to carry and arrange in confined spaces with narrow passages.

[0042] 5. Reduced maintenance and operating costs: Since the device design adopts modular components that can be quickly disassembled and reassembled, maintenance and replacement of parts become very simple and quick, which not only reduces the need for tools and maintenance time, but also significantly reduces the cost of long-term use.

[0043] 6. Improved reliability: The optimization of the foam liquid supply system in the utility model ensures a stable supply of foam liquid even under pressure fluctuations, avoiding the degradation of foam quality caused by unstable foam liquid supply, thereby improving the reliability of the entire system.
