Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of underground dust removal technology, and in particular relates to an underground spray device. Background Technology
[0002] During underground mining operations, a large amount of dust is generated. The confined space underground is filled with dust, which poses a significant health risk to workers who often work underground for extended periods. Furthermore, the high dust levels can easily cause explosions and serious safety accidents. Traditionally, dust suppression systems using water spray are installed underground to remove dust and improve the working environment. However, the atomization effect of water spray alone is unsatisfactory, often resulting in dripping water that doesn't cover the entire tunnel face. Additionally, since underground water is typically recycled, the inlet pipe is prone to blockage. A filter is usually added to the nozzle inlet, but cleaning this filter is inconvenient. Since the spray nozzles are usually suspended from the ceiling, cleaning requires climbing, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and carries the risk of falls. Chinese utility model CN 208406441 U discloses a spray dust suppression system with a backwashing device on the water inlet pipe for simple rinsing of the filter. However, the low temperature of underground water results in poor rinsing effectiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem solved by this utility model is that existing downhole spraying devices have small spray area, inconvenient filtration and cleaning, and poor cleaning effect.
[0004] This utility model provides a downhole spraying device, including a spraying pipeline, a water supply pipeline, a cleaning water tank, a backwashing pipeline, a nozzle, and a PLC controller. The nozzle is connected to the water supply pipeline via the spraying pipeline. A first filter element is provided at the outlet of the water supply pipeline, and a first shut-off valve and a second shut-off valve are respectively provided upstream and downstream of the first filter element.
[0005] The cleaning water tank is connected downstream of the first filter element via a backwashing pipeline. An electric heater and a thermometer are respectively installed on both sides of the cleaning water tank. A backwashing valve is installed on the backwashing pipeline. A first drain valve is connected between the first shut-off valve and the first filter element. The input terminal of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the thermometer, and the output terminal of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the first shut-off valve, the second shut-off valve, the backwashing valve, the first drain valve, and the electric heater switch.
[0006] Furthermore, it also includes an air supply pipeline, which is connected to the spray pipeline. A second filter element is provided at the air outlet of the air supply pipeline. A third shut-off valve and a fourth shut-off valve are respectively provided upstream and downstream of the second filter element. The downstream of the second filter element is connected to the backwashing pipeline via a pipeline. A second drain valve is provided between the third shut-off valve and the first filter element. The third shut-off valve, the fourth shut-off valve, and the second drain valve are all electrically connected to the output terminal of the PLC controller.
[0007] Furthermore, the PLC controller controls the first, second, third, and fourth shut-off valves to be in the open state, while other valves are in the closed state. The spray pipeline mixes and atomizes air and water. Every time the spray pipeline runs for a period of time T1, the PLC controller controls the backwash valve, the first and second drain valves to be in the open state, and other valves to be in the closed state, to clean the first and second filter elements. The cleaning time is T2.
[0008] Furthermore, when the thermometer temperature is below 40°C, the PLC controller controls the electric heater switch to turn on; when the thermometer temperature is above 60°C, the PLC controller controls the electric heater switch to turn off.
[0009] Furthermore, every 6-8 hours of operation of the nozzle, the PLC controller controls the backwash valve to clean the first and second filter elements for 3-5 minutes.
[0010] Furthermore, the nozzle is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple nozzles are arranged in parallel.
[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second filter elements are washable filter elements.
[0012] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The underground spray device of the present invention uses a cleaning water tank to backwash the filter element with hot water, which cleans it thoroughly. At the same time, it realizes automatic cleaning and cyclic cleaning through PLC controller, which is easy to operate and improves cleaning efficiency. In addition, the addition of an air supply pipe makes the spray area larger and the atomization effect better, further improving the underground working environment. Attached Figure Description
