[0020] The utility model provides an embodiment:

[0021] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, an automated dust suppression system for commercial coal includes a mixing drum 1, a dust suppression solution tank 2, a spray pipeline 3, and a controller. The mixing drum 1 is provided with a dust suppressant feed port and a water inlet. The mixing drum 1 uses a built-in mixer to mix the dust suppressant and clean water into a dust suppression mixed solution. The mixing drum 1 transports the dust suppression mixed solution to the dust suppression solution tank 2 via a built-in submersible pump. A pressure pump 2.2 is provided on the second liquid outlet pipeline 2.1 of the dust suppression solution tank 2. The second liquid outlet pipeline 2.1 is connected to the spray pipeline 3. The spray end of the spray pipeline 3 is provided with a solenoid valve 3.1 and a spray head 3.2. The controller is used to connect to the electronic control components of the automated dust suppression system for commercial coal. The electronic control components in this application include electric gate valves, liquid level gauges, solenoid valves, infrared sensors, mixing motors, pressure pumps, submersible pumps, etc.

[0022] Specifically, clean water from the clean water tank is first injected into the mixing barrel, and the dust suppressant in the mixing barrel and the clean water are prepared into a dust suppression mixed solution in a certain proportion. The dust suppression mixed solution is transported to the dust suppression solution tank by a submersible pump. Under the action of the pressure pump, the dust suppression solution is delivered to the spray pipeline 3 along the second liquid outlet pipeline 2.1 for spraying dust suppression operation.

[0023] In this embodiment, the clean water tank 4 is connected to a water inlet pipe 4.1, a water outlet pipe 4.2, a first sewage pipe 4.3, and a first overflow pipe 4.4. A first liquid level gauge 4.5 is built into the clean water tank 4. The first electric gate valve 4.6 on the water inlet pipe 4.1 is electrically connected to the first liquid level gauge 4.5. The ends of the first sewage pipe 4.3 and the first overflow pipe 4.4 share a common pipe section. A first manual gate valve 4.7 is provided on the first sewage pipe 4.3 and is located at the front end of the connection point between the first sewage pipe 4.3 and the first overflow pipe 4.4.

[0024] The first level gauge in the clean water tank is set to monitor between 0.2 and 1.5 meters. When the water level in the tank falls below 0.2 meters, the first electric gate valve on the clean water inlet pipe automatically opens, injecting clean water into the tank. When the water level in the tank rises to 1.5 meters, the first electric gate valve automatically closes, stopping the injection of water into the tank. To prevent the first electric gate valve from losing control, a first overflow pipe is installed to automatically overflow the clean water. To facilitate tank maintenance, a first sewage pipe is installed at the lower edge of the tank to facilitate the removal of settled sewage during maintenance. To achieve both practicality and job standardization of the pipeline, the first overflow pipe and a section of the first sewage pipe are shared. A manual gate valve is installed before the intersection of the pipes to ensure that sewage discharge and overflow are not affected.

[0025] The mixing drum 1 is connected to the clean water tank 4 via the outlet pipe 4.2. The mixing drum 1 is connected to the dust suppression solution tank 2 via the first outlet pipe 1.1 and the return pipe 1.2. A filter 1.3 is installed on the first outlet pipe 1.1. A second level gauge 1.4 is built into the mixing drum 1. A second electric gate valve 1.5 on the outlet pipe 4.2 is electrically connected to the second level gauge 1.4. The mixing drum utilizes a one-in-one standby operation strategy, with two mixers and two submersible pumps to ensure uninterrupted dust suppression operations. Dust suppressant and clean water are mixed in a mixer at a ratio of 1:6 to form a dust suppression mixture. A second level gauge is installed in the mixing drum, with a monitoring range set to 0.2 to 1.5 meters. Under manual monitoring, dust suppressant is added manually through the feed port. The liquid is mixed evenly within 15 minutes and then transferred to the solution storage tank.

[0026] The dust suppression solution tank 2 is also connected to a second overflow pipe 2.3 and a second sewage pipe 2.4. The ends of the second overflow pipe 2.3 and the second sewage pipe 2.4 are connected to the return liquid pipe 1.2. A second manual gate valve 2.5 is provided on the second sewage pipe 2.4 and the second manual gate valve 2.5 is located at the front end of the connection point of the second overflow pipe 2.3 and the second sewage pipe 2.4.

[0027] The dust suppression solution tank is essentially the same as the clean water tank, differing in that its second overflow pipe is connected to the mixing drum. When the solution in the tank exceeds the upper limit, it automatically flows back into the mixing drum. Furthermore, when the tank is cleaned and repaired, the sediment at the bottom of the tank also flows back into the mixing drum. Because dust suppressants are expensive, costing approximately 10,000 yuan per ton, this prevents wasteful discharge of dust suppression solution. The prepared solution is stored in the dust suppression tank. When loading begins, a pressure pump delivers the solution along the second outlet pipe 2.1 to the spray pipe 3 for spraying, where it is then circulated back into the dust suppression tank.

[0028] The second liquid outlet pipeline 2.1 is also provided with a third electric gate valve 2.6, a flow meter 2.7, and a pressure gauge 2.8. A cleaning pipeline 5 is connected between the second liquid outlet pipeline 2.1 and the water outlet pipe 4.2. A fourth electric gate valve 5.1 is provided on the cleaning pipeline 5. The connection point between the cleaning pipeline 5 and the water outlet pipe 4.2 is located between the second electric gate valve 1.5 and the clean water tank 4. The connection point between the cleaning pipeline 5 and the second liquid outlet pipeline 2.1 is located between the pressure pump 2.2 and the dust suppression solution tank 2.

[0029] A fifth electric gate valve 3.3 is provided on the spray pipeline 3. Several spray branch pipes 3.4 are connected to the spray pipeline 3. Each spray branch pipe 3.4 is provided with several spray heads 3.2. The end of the spray pipeline 3 is connected to the circulation pipeline 6. The end of the circulation pipeline 6 is forked, one of which is connected to the second liquid outlet pipeline 2.1, and the other is directly connected to the dust suppression solution tank 2.

[0030] It also includes an infrared start-stop component, which includes an infrared sensor 7 and a solenoid valve 3.1. Two sets of infrared sensors 7 are installed before and after the spraying positions on both sides of the track. The solenoid valve 3.1 is installed on the spray branch pipe 3.4 and is electrically connected to the infrared sensor 7. Figure 2 As shown, the spraying dust suppression operation on the roof is completely automated.

[0031] Working process: Two sets of infrared sensors are installed before and after the spraying positions on both sides of the track. When the dispatching winch starts and moves forward and the vehicle moves to the designated position, the first set of infrared sensors is interrupted, the solenoid valve at the front end of the sprinkler head opens, and the sprinkler head sprays dust suppressant; the second set of infrared sensors is turned on, and the solenoid valve closes to stop the spraying operation.

[0032] The dust suppression spray system operates stably and reliably. The implementation of an automated solution reduces manual labor, enabling unmanned operation and meeting the dust suppression and environmental protection requirements for railway loading and transportation. By properly setting the spraying time, the moisture index of commercial coal is maintained within the specified range, thus avoiding material waste and coal quality loss during transportation.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
