Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mine ventilation equipment, and in particular to a mine safety ventilation device. Background Technology

[0002] In mining operations, mine safety ventilation systems play a crucial role. They are responsible for continuously supplying fresh air to the underground working environment while expelling harmful gases, dust, and fumes generated underground. They are key equipment for ensuring safe production in mines and protecting the health of underground workers.

[0003] In poorly ventilated areas such as dead-end roadways, blind roadways, and near goaf areas, local ventilation fans can be installed to deliver fresh air to designated areas. As the core component of the ventilation system, the fan generates power through the rotation of its blades, driving airflow within the system. Ventilation ducts guide airflow to various work areas. During continuous use, due to the harsh underground environment and the presence of large amounts of dust and particulate matter in the air, the inner walls, filters, and blades of the fan accumulate significant dust. Over time, the overall weight of the fan also changes.

[0004] Existing mine safety ventilation devices cannot monitor the amount of dust inside the fans, making it impossible for workers to understand the dust accumulation inside the fans in a timely manner and to take effective dust removal measures at the appropriate time. This not only increases the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance, but may also threaten the lives of underground workers due to poor ventilation. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 A mine safety ventilation device includes: a support sleeve 100; a ventilation fan 200 disposed inside the support sleeve 100; a pressure sensor 402 installed on the support sleeve 100, the pressure sensor 402 being disposed below the ventilation fan 200, the housing of the ventilation fan 200 being connected to the pressure sensor 402; and an alarm 404 installed on the support sleeve 100, the alarm 404 being connected to the pressure sensor 402.

[0028] In this embodiment, a fixing seat 400 is installed at the bottom of the support sleeve 100. The fixing seat 400 has a sturdy block structure and is made of high-strength metal material, such as Q345 steel, which has good pressure resistance and deformation resistance. The pressure sensor 402 is installed inside the support sleeve 100. Through a high-precision pressure sensing element, it monitors the pressure changes transmitted from the ventilator 200 in real time and monitors the weight changes of the ventilator 200. When there is a lot of dust and impurities attached to the ventilator 200, the weight will change accordingly. The pressure sensor 402 can monitor this change. When the pressure sensor 402 detects that the weight change of the ventilator 200 exceeds a preset threshold, it transmits the signal to the controller 403. After analysis and processing, the controller 403 triggers the alarm 404 to issue an alarm signal, reminding the staff to clean the ventilator 200 in time.

[0029] The ventilator 200 includes: a movable sleeve 300 installed inside the ventilator 200; a filter screen 301 installed on the inner ring of the movable sleeve 300; a displacement sensor 203 installed inside the ventilator 200, the displacement sensor 203 being used to monitor the displacement state of the movable sleeve 300; a movable groove 201 formed on the inner wall of the ventilator, the displacement sensor 203 being installed on the inner wall of the movable groove 201; and a movable block 202 installed inside the movable groove 201, the movable sleeve 300 being connected to the movable block 202.

[0030] The ventilator 200 is the core component of the entire ventilation system, responsible for generating a powerful airflow to achieve ventilation and air exchange in the mine. Inside the ventilator 200 is a movable sleeve 300, a cylindrical structure made of lightweight and high-strength aluminum alloy, possessing excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The inner ring of the movable sleeve 300 is fitted with a filter screen 301, made of stainless steel using a fine weaving process, achieving high filtration accuracy and effectively intercepting dust and particulate matter in the air.

[0031] Inside the ventilator 200, a displacement sensor 203 is also installed. The displacement sensor 203 uses a high-precision linear displacement sensor, such as the Omron E2E-X series. When the ventilator 200 is running, as dust continuously adheres to the filter 301, the weight of the filter 301 increases, and the ventilation effect of the filter 301 deteriorates. Driven by the air pressure, the movable sleeve 300 moves, and the movable block 202 moves synchronously within the movable groove 201. The displacement sensor 203 monitors the displacement state of the movable block 202 in real time. By detecting the change in displacement, it indirectly reflects the amount of dust accumulated on the filter 301. When the displacement change reaches a certain level, it indicates that a significant amount of dust has accumulated on the filter 301, requiring cleaning.

[0032] The support sleeve 100 includes: a fixed base 400, installed on the support sleeve 100, the fixed base 400 being positioned below the ventilator 200; a detection base 401, installed inside the fixed base 400, one end of the detection base 401 penetrating the support sleeve 100 and connected to the ventilator 200, a pressure sensor 402 being positioned inside the fixed base 400, the other end of the detection base 401 being connected to the pressure sensor 402; a controller 403, installed inside the fixed base 400, an alarm 404 being connected to the pressure sensor 402 via the controller 403; and several shock absorbers 101, installed on the inner wall of the support sleeve 100 in a circular array, the shock absorbers 101 being positioned between the ventilator 200 and the support sleeve 100; a fixing groove is provided on the fixed base 400, and the detection base 401 is connected within the fixing groove.

[0033] The aforementioned controller 403 employs an industrial-grade programmable logic controller (PLC), such as the Siemens S7-200 series. The shock absorber 101 utilizes a spring and rubber composite structure, with one end connected to the inner wall of the support sleeve 100 and secured by pre-embedded bolts or welded connectors; the other end contacts the outer casing of the ventilation fan 200, providing effective vibration damping between the ventilation fan 200 and the support sleeve 100. When the ventilation fan 200 vibrates during operation, the shock absorber 101 effectively absorbs and disperses vibration energy, reducing the impact of vibration on the support sleeve 100 and the entire ventilation system, ensuring stable operation of the ventilation system.

[0034] During operation, the ventilator 200, as a core component, is activated, generating a powerful airflow to perform ventilation and air exchange in the mine, supplying fresh air and expelling harmful gases and dust. The pressure sensor 402, located within the bottom mounting base 400 of the support sleeve 100, is connected to the ventilator 200's outer casing via a detection base 401. Its high-precision pressure sensing element monitors the pressure transmitted by the ventilator 200 in real time. As mining operations continue, dust and impurities accumulate on the inner wall of the ventilator 200, the filter 301, and the fan blades, causing an increase in the ventilator 200's weight. The pressure sensor 402 detects this pressure change and converts it into data representing the weight change of the ventilator 200.

[0035] The inner ring filter 301 of the movable sleeve 300 inside the ventilator 200 intercepts dust and particulate matter in the air. As dust continuously accumulates, the weight of the filter 301 increases and the ventilation effect deteriorates. Under the action of wind pressure, the movable sleeve 300 drives the movable block 202 to move within the movable groove 201. The displacement sensor 203 monitors the displacement state of the movable block 202 in real time, and detects the amount of displacement change to indirectly reflect the amount of dust accumulation on the filter 301. The pressure sensor 402 transmits the weight change data of the ventilator 200 to the controller 403 inside the fixed base 400, and the displacement sensor 203 also transmits the displacement change data related to the amount of dust accumulation on the filter 301 to the controller 403. The controller 403 uses an industrial-grade programmable logic controller 403 (PLC), such as the Siemens S7-200 series, to analyze and process this data.

[0036] When the controller 403 determines that the weight change of the fan 200 transmitted by the pressure sensor 402 exceeds a preset threshold, or the displacement change transmitted by the displacement sensor 203 reaches a certain level, indicating that a large amount of dust has accumulated inside the fan 200, the controller 403 triggers the alarm 404 to issue an alarm signal. Upon receiving the alarm, personnel promptly clean the fan 200 to ensure its normal operation and the stability and reliability of the ventilation system. During the operation of the fan 200, the shock absorber 101 plays a crucial role. The shock absorber 101 adopts a spring and rubber composite structure, distributed in a circumferential array between the inner wall of the support sleeve 100 and the outer shell of the fan 200, and is fixed by pre-embedded bolts or welded connectors. It effectively absorbs and disperses the vibration energy generated by the operation of the fan 200, reducing the impact of vibration on the support sleeve 100 and the entire ventilation device, and maintaining the stable operation of the ventilation device.

[0037] In summary, compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] By installing a pressure sensor 402 below the ventilator 200, the weight change of the ventilator 200 due to dust adhesion can be monitored in real time; at the same time, the displacement sensor 203 inside the ventilator 200 can be used to monitor the displacement state of the moving sleeve 300 caused by dust accumulation and weight increase on the filter screen 301, so as to accurately reflect the amount of dust in the fan.

[0039] When the pressure sensor 402 detects that the weight change of the fan 200 exceeds the preset threshold, or the displacement sensor 203 detects that the displacement change reaches a certain level, the controller 403 will trigger the alarm 404 to issue an alarm, so that the staff can understand the dust accumulation inside the fan in a timely manner and take dust removal measures at the appropriate time to avoid equipment failure due to excessive dust accumulation, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance.

[0040] By timely monitoring and cleaning of dust inside the fan, the ventilation fan 200 is ensured to maintain good ventilation at all times, stably supplying fresh air to the mine, effectively preventing the accumulation of harmful gases due to poor ventilation, reducing safety hazards, and providing strong protection for safe production in the mine.
