[0002] With the increasing demands for environmental protection from the state, the environmental management of underground mines has become a crucial aspect. The main sources of dust in underground mines are blasting during mining, exhaust fumes from transport vehicles, and dust generated during ore unloading at unloading stations. Controlling blasting fumes and vehicle exhaust, combined with continuous improvement of production processes and exhaust gas purification equipment, can effectively reduce dust. Dust generated at unloading stations also requires further management.
[0003] Currently, the unloading conditions at various mine loading stations differ, and the moisture content of the ore also varies. Especially in mines with lower ore moisture content, the unloading process after the locomotive passes through the unloading station creates a dusty environment, preventing personnel from entering the site. Electrical and mechanical equipment suffers from severe dust accumulation, increasing the workload of equipment maintenance and posing significant safety hazards for both routine inspections and equipment operation. Therefore, it is necessary to innovatively design a spray system for underground unloading stations to reduce dust, thereby improving the on-site environment and eliminating the potential hazards of excessive dust accumulation.
