Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of roller cutter type rock boring machines, in particular to a dust removal device for roller cutter type rock boring machines. Background Art
[0002] Bolter miners are essential equipment for tunneling coal mines. However, when faced with hard rock, bolter miners are unable to operate, and full-face hard rock tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are usually the only option. While TBMs can handle hard rock, they are much larger than bolter miners. Furthermore, since coal mine tunnels are generally rectangular, the circular face needs to be trimmed to a rectangular shape after the TBM completes excavation. A roller cutter tunnel boring machine can overcome these shortcomings. For example, Chinese invention patent publication number CN116677400A discloses a roller cutter hard rock tunnel boring machine whose cutterhead can move up, down, left, and right to cut hard rock without the need for reshaping.
[0003] Like conventional tunnel boring machines, roller cutters generate significant amounts of coal and rock dust during the hard rock cutting process. However, the cutting mechanism of a roller cutter is larger than that of a fully-mechanized tunnel boring machine (TMM) or bolter miner, resulting in greater dust generation than conventional coal and rock cutting equipment. Conventional TBMs operate in an enclosed excavation area, while roller cutters operate in an open space, resulting in greater dust emissions. Furthermore, due to the limited moving parts of the cutting mechanism, conventional fully-mechanized tunnel boring machines, such as drum bolter miners, typically have dust removal sprayers located only on the left and right sides of the boom and on top. This makes it difficult to fully encompass the cutting mechanism, hindering the desired dust reduction effect.
[0004] Based on this, the utility model designs a dust removal device for a roller cutter type rock tunnel boring machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in a variety of different ways as defined and covered below.
[0024] See also Figure 1-2The utility model provides a technical solution: a dust removal device for a roller cutter rock boring machine, comprising a tunneling boom 1 and a tunneling cutter disc 11 installed at one end of the tunneling boom 1, and further comprising a first spraying part, a second spraying part 111 and a dust reduction medium conveying part. The first spraying part is installed on the tunneling boom 1, and sprays the dust reduction medium above and to the side of the tunneling cutter disc 11 to absorb and reduce the scattered dust; the second spraying part 111 is arranged on the bottom surface of the tunneling cutter disc 11, and sprays the dust reduction medium from the bottom of the tunneling cutter disc 11 to absorb and reduce the scattered dust. Dust; The dust reduction medium conveying part is used to convey the dust reduction medium to the first spraying part and the second spraying part 111, and the dust reduction medium is sprayed from the bottom, top and side of the tunneling cutter head 11 by the first spraying part and the second spraying part 111 to achieve full coverage of the tunneling cutter head 11, and the dust generated by the tunneling cutter head 11 during the tunneling process is fully adsorbed and dusted, effectively reducing the dust content in the working environment. At the same time, a second spraying part 111 is provided at the bottom of the tunneling cutter head 11, which can effectively block the dust escaping from the tunneling face along the bottom of the tunneling boom 1 to the working area.
[0025] Specifically, the second spraying portion 111 is disc-shaped and fixed to the bottom surface of the excavation cutter head 11. A plurality of nozzles are arranged circumferentially on the side of the second spraying portion 111. The nozzles installed on the second spraying portion 111 are arranged radially, so that the dust reduction coverage range of the second spraying portion 111 when working is fan-shaped, and the excavation cutter head 11 is fully covered from the bottom of the excavation cutter head 11. Since the excavation cutter head 11 of the roller cutter rock tunnel boring machine is disc-shaped, the second spraying portion 111 is set to be disc-shaped, and a plurality of nozzles are installed on the side of the second spraying portion 111 along the circumferential direction of the second spraying portion 111. At the same time, the second The direction of the nozzle on the spraying part 111 is the same as the radial direction of the second spraying part 111, that is, when the second spraying part 111 is performing dust reduction operation, the dust reduction medium is sprayed from the nozzle on the second spraying part 111, and the overall coverage range is fan-shaped, and the span of the fan is greater than 180°, thereby achieving full coverage of the bottom of the excavation cutter head 11. If the dust generated by the excavation cutter head 11 during the excavation operation escapes downward, it will definitely come into contact with the dust reduction medium sprayed from the nozzle on the second spraying part 111, so that the dust emitted downward by the excavation cutter head 11 during the excavation operation can be well suppressed.
[0026] Furthermore, the second spraying portion 111 is coaxially arranged with the excavation cutter disc 11 , so that the second spraying portion 111 can evenly spray the dust reduction medium to the bottom of the excavation cutter disc 11 through the nozzles on its side.
[0027] In this embodiment, the first spraying part includes a first tube body 12, two second tube bodies 13 and two third tube bodies 14 installed at different positions of the tunneling boom 1. Nozzles are installed on the first tube body 12, the second tube body 13 and the third tube body 14. Dust reduction medium is sprayed from different positions and directions to cover the top of the tunneling cutter disc 11. The dust reduction medium is sprayed through the nozzles on the first tube body 12, the second tube body 13 and the third tube body 14 to fully cover the top and sides of the tunneling cutter disc 11. In cooperation with the first spraying part, the dust reduction medium is sprayed from the bottom of the tunneling cutter disc 11 to achieve all-round coverage of the tunneling cutter disc 11 without dead angles.
[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the first tube body 12 is fixed to the end of the tunneling arm 1 on which the tunneling cutter disc 11 is installed. The first tube body 12 is arc-shaped and is coaxially arranged with the tunneling cutter disc 11, and the plurality of nozzles on the first tube body 12 are arranged circumferentially along the side of the first tube body 12, so that the dust reduction medium sprayed by the nozzles on the first tube body 12 is fan-shaped. The two second tube bodies 13 are respectively fixed on both sides of one end of the tunneling arm 1 on which the tunneling cutter disc 11 is installed, and the axial direction of the second tube body 13 is the same as the length direction of the tunneling arm 1. Several nozzles arranged along the axial direction of the second tube body 13 on the second tube body 13 spray dust reduction medium from the top of the tunneling cutter disc 11 to both sides of the tunneling cutter disc 11. The two third tube bodies 14 are respectively fixed on both sides of the tunneling arm 1 close to the tunneling cutter disc 11. The axial direction of the third tube body 14 is the same as the axial direction of the tunneling cutter disc 11. The dust reduction medium is sprayed from the rear end of the tunneling cutter disc 11 to both sides of the tunneling cutter disc 11 through several nozzles arranged along the axial direction of the third tube body 14 on the third tube body 14.
[0029] In this embodiment, a fan-shaped dust reduction medium is sprayed above the excavation cutter disc 11 by the nozzle on the side of the first tube body 12, and the front end of the excavation cutter disc 11 is fully covered. The dust reduction medium is sprayed from the top of the excavation cutter disc 11 to both sides of the excavation cutter disc 11 by the nozzle installed on the second tube body 13, and the side of the excavation cutter disc 11 is fully covered. At the same time, the fan-shaped range formed by the dust reduction medium sprayed by the nozzle on the first tube body 12 is connected to the rectangular range formed by the dust reduction medium sprayed by the nozzle on the second tube body 13, forming a U-shape as a whole. Achieve full coverage of the top of the tunneling cutterhead 11, and finally cooperate with the third tube body 14 to spray the dust reduction medium from the rear end of the tunneling cutterhead 11 to the side of the tunneling cutterhead 11, so as to achieve full coverage of the tunneling cutterhead 11 without dead angles by the dust reduction medium. During the tunneling operation of the tunneling cutterhead 11, the dust generated will be intercepted by the dust reduction medium regardless of whether it escapes upward, downward or toward the tunneling arm 1 to the working area. When the dust contacts the dust reduction medium, it will be adsorbed by it and then fall, achieving the effect of all-round dust suppression and improving the working environment of the staff.
[0030] like Figure 1-2As shown, the dust reduction medium conveying part includes a storage box 2 and a conveying device 3. The dust reduction medium in the storage box 2 is conveyed to the first spraying part and the second spraying part 111 through the conveying device 3. The storage box 2 and the conveying device 3 can be fixed on the excavation boom 1, and then the conveying device 3 is connected to the first pipe body 12, the second pipe body 13, the third pipe body 14 and the second spraying part 111 through the pipeline to realize the conveying of the dust reduction medium.
[0031] In this embodiment, the dust reduction medium is water, and the nozzle is an atomizing nozzle. The water is atomized by the atomizing nozzle and then sprayed out. The water mist comes into contact with the dust and absorbs the dust to achieve the dust reduction effect.
[0032] In this embodiment, the dust reduction medium is foam, and the nozzle is a foam nozzle. The foam mixture is transported to the foam nozzle through the conveying device 3. After the air is sucked in by the foam nozzle, air foam is formed and sprayed out. The water consumption of foam dust removal can be reduced by 30%-80%, which can avoid the sinking of the comprehensive tunneling machine caused by excessive water consumption; and its dust suppression efficiency is 3-5 times higher than that of spraying water, which can improve the vision of the tunneling driver and reduce safety hazards.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
