[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in order to address the problems of low efficiency, high energy consumption, and negative impact on personnel health in traditional tunnel construction ventilation, a tunnel construction ventilation and smoke extraction device is designed. The device includes an air supply pipe 2 and a return air pipe 3 extending into the tunnel face 1. The air supply pipe 2 and the return air pipe 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the tunnel. At the ends of the air supply pipe 2 and the return air pipe 3 located outside the tunnel, a blower 4 and an exhaust fan 5 are respectively installed. The blower 4 and the exhaust fan 5 are variable frequency fans. Several air outlets are distributed along the length of the air supply pipe 2 and the return air pipe 3, which are the air supply outlet and the exhaust outlet, respectively.

[0034] The air supply duct 2 includes several segmented air supply ducts 201, with relay air supply fans 6 installed between the segmented air supply ducts 201. The return air duct 3 includes several segmented return air ducts 301, with relay exhaust fans 7 installed between the segmented return air ducts 301. The relay air supply fans 6 transport gas from the segmented air supply ducts 201 connected to them near the outside of the tunnel to the segmented air supply ducts 201 connected to them near the inside of the tunnel; the relay exhaust fans 7 transport gas from the segmented return air ducts 301 connected to them near the inside of the tunnel to the segmented return air ducts 301 connected to them near the outside of the tunnel.

[0035] In practical use, as the tunnel excavation depth increases, a relay air supply fan 6 and a relay exhaust fan 7 are connected in series on the air supply pipe 2 and the return air pipe 3 at certain intervals to compensate for the resistance loss of fresh air during the transportation process. At the same time, the accuracy of air volume control at each air outlet is improved by controlling the fluid head in each control pipe section through the relay fans.

[0036] Air outlets are provided at intervals along the length of the air supply duct 2 and the return air duct 3, and the air outlets distributed on the air supply duct 2 and the return air duct 3 are arranged equidistantly and alternately.

[0037] Preferably, both the air supply duct 2 and the return air duct 3 are rectangular tubes for easy installation. The air outlet of the blower 4 and the air supply duct 2, as well as the air inlet of the exhaust fan 5 and the return air duct 3, are connected by flexible joints 11. The flexible joints 11 are round-square duct flexible joints to achieve transitional connection between the air outlet of the blower 4 and the air supply duct 2, and between the air inlet of the exhaust fan 5 and the return air duct 3.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] As Figure 3 shown, the air supply pipe 2 and the air return pipe 3 are provided with air outlet assemblies 8, the air outlet assembly 8 comprises an air pipe 801 rotatably connected to the air outlet by a bearing, the upper end of the air pipe 801 is provided with a ball head 802, one side of the ball head 802 is provided with an air hole 803, and the ball head 802 is provided with a channel communicating with the air pipe 801 and the air hole 803.

[0040] The air outlet assembly 8 is modularly designed to facilitate installation, and by rotating the air pipe 801, the direction of the air hole 803 can be adjusted to strengthen the heat and mass exchange of air in the tunnel and enhance the mixing effect of fresh air and air in the tunnel.

[0041] The air outlet is provided with an electromagnetic regulating valve 9, which can be a BONDON brand 4V210-08 electromagnetic valve, which is used to adjust the air inlet or air outlet.

[0042] The air outlet is provided with an air speed sensor 10 for detecting the air speed and air volume of the air outlet, which facilitates the adjustment of the opening of the electromagnetic regulating valve 9 according to the air volume. In this embodiment, a RS-FS-* type pipe air speed and air volume sensor transmitter of Jiandarenke is installed on the air pipe 801.

[0043] In specific use, the dust sensor or pollution detection equipment is used to monitor the pollution concentration of each section in the tunnel, and then the required ventilation volume of the region is determined, the opening of the corresponding electromagnetic regulating valve 9 of the region is adjusted, and the frequency of the relay exhaust fan 7 downstream of the corresponding section of the air return pipe 301 is adjusted, to realize the control of air volume and airflow organization in different regions of the tunnel, and to achieve the effect of implementing different types of control strategies for different construction conditions, to efficiently remove different types of pollution caused by construction.

[0044] Compared with the traditional press-in type, suction type and mixed type tunnel ventilation mode, the device realizes the rapid positioning and rapid discharge of pollutants in the tunnel through the combination of air supply and discharge, multiple air outlets and multiple measurement points, greatly reduces the residence time of pollutants in the tunnel compared with the traditional ventilation mode, controls the air volume and airflow organization, further reduces the air supply volume and the size of the air pipe equipment, reduces energy consumption, and reduces the influence of ventilation equipment on normal construction. Through the form of multi-stage relay fan, the outlet static pressure difference between each air outlet is reduced, on the one hand, the energy loss of gas transportation is reduced, on the other hand, the difficulty of air volume control and hydraulic balance between each air outlet is reduced, and the accuracy of air volume control is greatly improved.

[0045] Through the air outlet assembly with adjustable air direction, the ventilation system can adjust the air outlet direction for the working conditions of blasting of the tunnel face, welding, etc., to adjust the air flow organization form inside the tunnel, increase the exhaust efficiency, and make the gas flow direction inside the tunnel adjust accordingly according to the position of the pollutants, minimize the diffusion area of the pollutants inside the tunnel, and ensure the safety and health of the construction personnel.

[0046] Embodiment 3:

[0047] The air volume and pressure control strategies of the air supply fan 4, the exhaust fan 5, and the relay air supply fan 6 and the relay exhaust fan 7 outside the tunnel are as follows:

[0048] According to the concentrations of various pollutants detected by the segmented area detection, and according to the control concentration standards of various pollutants, the air supply volume and the exhaust volume of the air outlet are determined. When the detection data of each item meets the standard, the air volume of the air outlet is controlled at the minimum value; when the pollutants detected by the detection point in the exhaust outlet at a certain position exceed the set threshold, the air volume of the exhaust outlet is appropriately increased according to the proportion of the over-standard concentration of the pollutants, until the maximum air volume of the air outlet is reached. At the same time, the air volume of the nearest air supply outlet on both sides of the exhaust outlet is correspondingly increased, and the sum of the increased air volumes of the two air supply outlets is equal to the exhaust volume of the exhaust outlet. After the air volume of each air supply and exhaust outlet inside the tunnel is determined, the required air volume of the air supply fan and the exhaust fan outside the tunnel and each relay fan can be calculated.

[0049] After the installation of each air supply and exhaust outlet inside the tunnel is completed, the air flow organization form inside the tunnel can be flexibly adjusted through the control of the air volume of each air outlet, and the control strategy of the air flow organization according to different construction working conditions inside the tunnel is as follows:

[0050] (1) When no blasting, welding, or other construction work is performed inside the tunnel, no harmful pollutant is discharged, and only a small number of personnel exist inside the tunnel, only the air supply or exhaust system can be started at this time, and the tunnel is a single form of pressure-in or suction-out ventilation at this time.

[0051] (2) When the tunnel face blasting is completed, a large amount of dust is generated near the tunnel face, the angles of the air supply outlet and the exhaust outlet closest to the tunnel face are controlled at this time, so that they are directed towards the tunnel face, and the electromagnetic valves of all other air outlets are closed, and the air supply fan and the exhaust fan are started to the maximum air volume. It should be noted that the air volume of the exhaust fan should be slightly larger than that of the air supply fan at this time, so that the end of the tunnel face is in a negative pressure state, promoting the flow of the gas inside the tunnel towards the tunnel face, preventing the diffusion of dust inside the tunnel. By adjusting the angle of the air outlet and increasing the air volume and speed, the air flow of the air supply outlet can be directly blown to the vicinity of the tunnel face, the mixing of the gas and the dust is strengthened, the air flow is driven, the dust accumulation caused by local vortex near the tunnel face is prevented, and the ventilation efficiency is improved, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0052] (3) When the tunnel is in the construction state, the air pollutant concentration of the exhaust outlet of the tunnel is used to determine the air volume QP1, QP2 of each exhaust outlet, the air volume QP1 of the opposite air supply outlet between the two exhaust outlets is QP1= (QP1+QP2) / 2, and the airflow organization form in the tunnel is as shown in Figure 5

[0053] (4) When the metal welding and spray mixing construction operations are performed in the tunnel, multiple work faces and multiple pollutant emission sources are simultaneously formed in the long tunnel, the airflow organization is adjusted on the original form, and the air volume adjustment of a single region is increased. The air volume of the two exhaust outlets adjacent to the detected pollutant is reduced, and the air volume reduction amount of the two exhaust outlets is equal to the air volume increase amount of the exhaust outlet at the detected pollutant, thereby forming the local negative pressure near the pollutant, preventing the diffusion of the pollutant to the airflow mixing on both sides, and as shown in Figure 6

[0054] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred technical solutions of the utility model, and should not be regarded as the limitation of the utility model. The embodiments in the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in the case of no conflict. The protection scope of the utility model should be the technical solutions recorded in the claims, including the equivalent replacement solutions of the technical features in the technical solutions recorded in the claims. That is, the equivalent replacement improvement in this range is also within the protection scope of the utility model.​​
