[0026] In order to have a further understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present application, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0027] Figure 1 A structural diagram of the coal mine underground fireproof device of the present application embodiment is shown. Figure 2 A structural diagram of the coal mine underground fireproof device of the present application embodiment is shown. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the plastic film when it is unfolded in the shown embodiment is shown. Figure 3 A change schematic diagram of the plastic film covering the coal block is shown. Figure 4 A structural diagram of a gas monitoring module is shown. Figure 5 A structural diagram of a filter cartridge screen is shown. Figure 6 A structural diagram of an air inlet cover is shown.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 4 The present application embodiment provides a coal mine underground fireproof device, which comprises a controller, the controller can be arranged at a suitable position, for example, arranged in a gas detection module 1; the gas monitoring module 1, such as Figure 4As shown, the gas monitoring module 1 is provided with a sensing chamber 25, and the sensing chamber 25 is provided with a gas sensor 251, which can be one or more gas sensors, such as a gas sensor and / or a carbon monoxide sensor, and the gas monitoring module 1 is provided with an air inlet pipe 23, and the air inlet pipe 23 is provided with a fan 24 and leads to the sensing chamber 25, and the air inlet pipe 23 introduces underground gas into the sensing chamber 25 and is sensed by the gas sensor 251 to determine whether to perform a fire prevention operation; the fire prevention module 3 is arranged on the wall surface 1, and the gas monitoring module 1 can be arranged on the fire prevention module 3, and the fire prevention module is internally provided with a plastic film roll 32, one end of the plastic film roll 32 is fixed to the inner wall of the fire prevention module 1, one end of the bottom plate 311 of the fire prevention module 3 is hinged to the side plate close to the wall surface 1, the other end is provided with an iron sheet 34 and is attached to the upper side plate under the magnetic attraction force through an electromagnet 33, and the electromagnet 33 is arranged on the upper side plate; wherein, when the gas monitoring module 1 senses that the concentration of one or more gases exceeds the standard, the controller de-energizes the electromagnet 33, the bottom plate 311 is opened, and the plastic film roll 32 rolls down and spreads.

[0029] When the gas monitoring module 1 does not monitor that the gas concentration exceeds the standard, the bottom plate 311 is attached to the upper side plate through the action of the electromagnet 33, and the bottom plate 311 is in a closed state; when the gas monitoring module 1 senses that the concentration of one or more gases exceeds the standard, the controller de-energizes the electromagnet 33, as shown in Figure 2 The bottom plate 311 is opened, and the plastic film roll 32 can roll down and spread under its own gravity.

[0030] For coal spontaneous combustion, the ignition point is often located in the coal seam below the ground surface, and the oxygen supply required for combustion is mainly due to the leakage of cracks connected to the outside, therefore, by laying a plastic film on the surface of the coal seam, the oxygen supply required for coal spontaneous combustion can be effectively weakened or even blocked. In this regard, it has been recorded in the prior art documents, for example, “Study on Prevention and Control Technology of Spontaneous Combustion in Gob of Shallow Depth L-type Fully Mechanized Caving Face” (Kang Jian-ting et al., Coal Science and Technology, pages 129-134, April 1, 2018), discloses a three-way pipe for filling in a mine, and specifically discloses (see pages 129-134) that a plastic film is used to fully cover the ground surface of the gob for treating spontaneous combustion in the gob.

[0031] In the embodiment of the utility model, even if the plastic film cannot completely seal the ground, it can also weaken the oxygen supply. As shown in Figure 3As shown, as the oxidation reaction proceeds, the plastic film further consumes oxygen while wrapping the coal seam more tightly, further weakening the oxygen supply and preventing the spread of spontaneous combustion. Even if it cannot completely block the oxygen supply, it makes the oxygen supply extremely limited, achieving effective control of coal spontaneous combustion. This is because the oxygen required for coal spontaneous combustion is obtained through a large network of cracks, and as long as a part of the crack outlet is closed, the oxygen supply for coal spontaneous combustion can be greatly weakened. In order to further ensure the sealing and oxygen-blocking effect, the plastic film 32 can be provided as a double-layer film, or capsules containing fire extinguishing substances such as fire extinguishing gel can be further provided on the plastic film 32 to further improve the fireproof effect. Alternatively, the plastic film 32 is provided as a double-layer film, and fire extinguishing substances are provided between the two layers of film.

[0032] In the prior art coal mine underground fireproof device, the fire extinguishing purpose is mainly achieved by spraying fire extinguishing substances. Since the spraying is often blind, the consumption is large and the cost is high. In the embodiment of the present application, the fire extinguishing purpose is achieved by blocking the oxygen supply with the help of plastic film covering. Compared with spraying fire extinguishing substances, the plastic film roll can naturally be laid to achieve covering, the covering area is wider, and waste plastic can also be used, and the plastic film can be reused, and the cost is lower. In order to achieve better coverage, the staff can set up multiple plastic film rolls according to the needs to meet the needs of large-area coverage.

[0033] After the plastic film is spread, the oxygen supply for coal spontaneous combustion is greatly weakened, and the coal spontaneous combustion is either completely blocked or the development process is greatly delayed. At this time, the staff on the surface or underground can further process according to the signal feedback of the gas monitoring module, so that the fire monitoring of the goaf and the blind lane is more targeted.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application achieves the blocking of coal spontaneous combustion by covering the ground with plastic film, so it is necessary to discover in the early stage of coal spontaneous combustion, and the sensitivity of gas monitoring is required to be higher, and the embodiment of the present application also hopes to improve the timeliness of coal mine underground fire prevention. Since the underground environment has a high dust content, the appearance of dust often seriously affects the sensitivity and service life of the gas sensor, therefore, the present application also improves the problem of high dust content.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 6, the gas monitoring module 30 is provided with a dust removal device 31. The dust removal device 31 is provided with a dust removal fan 311 and a dust removal filter 312. The dust removal fan 311 is arranged on the side of the dust removal filter 312, and the dust removal filter 312 is arranged on the side of the gas sensor 301. The dust removal fan 311 is arranged to suck the dust in the air and pass it through the dust removal filter 312, so that the dust in the air is removed and the dust content is reduced. Figure 4As shown, the air inlet 22 of the air inlet pipe 23 is provided with an air inlet cover 231 in the shape of a cone. The purpose of providing the air inlet cover 231 is to allow some dust to adhere to the inner surface of the air inlet cover 231 when the external air enters, thereby reducing some of the dust. In order to increase the adhesion surface area of the air inlet cover, protrusions 2311 can be provided on the inner surface of the air inlet cover 231. As the dust accumulated or adhered to the inner surface of the air inlet cover 231 gradually increases, some of the dust that has coagulated into lumps will fall off due to gravity. Further, the air inlet cover 231 is made of elastic material. Since the air inlet cover 231 is made of elastic material, when the external air enters, the air inlet cover 231 will vibrate due to the vibration of the airflow, thereby facilitating the shaking off of some of the dust accumulated on the inner surface, achieving a certain degree of self-cleaning. In the embodiment, the air inlet 22 is provided at the bottom of the gas detection module 2, which is also for the purpose of reducing dust accumulation by gravity.

[0036] Further, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , a filter cartridge net 232 is provided at the air inlet 22, which includes an air inlet filter net 2321 and a filter cartridge 2322 extending from the air inlet filter net 2321. The filter cartridge 2322 is provided with air outlet holes 23211. The air inlet filter net 2321 is embedded in the air inlet 22, and the filter cartridge 2322 extends in the air inlet pipe 22. The air passing through the air inlet cover 231 is further filtered by the air inlet filter net 2321, so that the dust is further filtered, and then passes through the filter cartridge 2322 through the air outlet holes 23211 into the air inlet pipe 23. When passing through the filter cartridge 2322, some of the remaining dust is adhered to the filter cartridge 2322.

[0037] Further, as shown in Figure 5 , the air outlet holes 23211 are provided on the side of the filter cartridge 2322, while the top of the filter cartridge 2322 is not open. In the airflow, the driving force of the dust movement is mainly derived from the airflow. When the airflow enters the filter cartridge 2322, since the air outlet holes 23211 are provided on the side and the top is not open, the top becomes a dead angle of the airflow, where the airflow speed is the slowest, and the solid particles with the original speed hit the top of the filter cartridge 2322 due to inertia, so that some of the dust is adhered to the top of the filter cartridge 2322, further filtering the dust. Further, downstream of the filter cartridge net 232, an internal filter net 233 is provided in the air inlet pipe 23 to further filter the dust.

[0038] Further, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the elbow filter screen 234 is arranged at the elbow of the air inlet pipe 23, and the fan 24 is arranged downstream of the elbow. When the airflow passes through the elbow, the remaining dust will adhere to the elbow filter screen 234 due to inertia, or even pass through the elbow filter screen 234 to reach the back of the elbow filter screen 234. After that, the airflow purified by multiple times passes through the fan 24 to reach the sensing chamber 25. After multiple purifications, the corrosion of the dust to the fan is also minimized. Because multiple filters are arranged, and the air inlet cover made of elastic material can also achieve a certain degree of self-purification, so that the maintenance period of the gas monitoring module 2 is greatly extended, which is beneficial for the monitoring of the goaf and blind lane with a large amount of monitoring tasks.

[0039] The coal mine underground fireproof device provided by the utility model reduces the influence of underground dust on the gas sensor, improves the timeliness of fire warning, lays plastic film in time, reduces oxygen supply, slows down or even blocks the development of coal spontaneous combustion, and improves the effectiveness of fire prevention and control.
