Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining engineering, specifically a water collection structure for trackless mining equipment in underground mines. Background Technology
[0002] Mining operations are often accompanied by groundwater, water used in trackless mining operations, and overflow water from backfilling. The water often contains mud and other substances. If the water is not collected and drained in a timely manner in the mining site and roadways, it will pose a great threat to underground safety production, such as flooding mine roadways and affecting the normal movement of workers and vehicles.
[0003] Traditional water collection structures involve setting up a water tank in a section of the tunnel. Sewage containing mud enters the water tank and is then directly pumped to a central water reservoir. This method damages the pumps and drainage pipes due to the mud in the sewage, and also increases the amount of mud in the central water reservoir. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a water collection structure for underground trackless mining equipment. It has the advantages of enabling sewage to settle within the water collection structure and allowing mechanical equipment to replace manual cleaning of sludge, thus solving the problem of sludge in sewage damaging water pumps and drainage pipes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A water collection structure for trackless mining equipment in underground mines includes a sedimentation tank chamber and a clear water tank chamber. The sedimentation tank chamber is equipped with a ramp structure that can accommodate mechanical equipment. The inner wall of the sedimentation tank chamber is protected. The clear water tank chamber is equipped with a drainage equipment fixing platform located on both sides of the clear water tank chamber. I-beams are evenly spaced on the drainage equipment fixing platform, and drainage facilities are placed on the I-beams. Patterned steel plates are laid on the intervals between the I-beams. A water retaining wall is provided between the sedimentation tank chamber and the clear water tank chamber, and drainage outlets are reserved on the water retaining wall.
[0007] It also includes a sidewalk and guardrails. The sidewalk is located on one side of the sedimentation tank chamber, and the guardrails are set on one side of the sidewalk platform.
[0008] A lifting ring is installed above the drainage facility.
[0009] The sedimentation tank chamber entrance is equipped with a fence gate, and the sloping structure of the sedimentation tank chamber is provided with a concrete pavement. The sloping structure is designed with a slope ratio of 1:10.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] (1) By setting the sedimentation tank downhill, this utility model facilitates the collection of sewage in the sedimentation tank, ensuring timely collection and sedimentation of sewage in the mining area and roadway. On the other hand, the downhill setting facilitates the entry of mechanical equipment into the sedimentation tank, allowing mechanical sludge removal to replace manual sludge removal, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving work efficiency. The installation of concrete walls, a walkway on the other side, and concrete paving at the bottom ensures that the end and side walls of the chamber will not be significantly damaged when the mechanical equipment cleans the sludge in the sedimentation tank, extending the service life of the chamber. On the other hand, the concrete setting ensures that sewage does not directly corrode the end walls and sides of the chamber, improving the stability of the original rock of the end walls and sides while effectively preventing water seepage. At the same time, the walkway set on one side of the sedimentation tank chamber facilitates the installation and maintenance of subsequent drainage equipment and isolates the original rock on one side of the sedimentation tank from sewage, improving the stability of the original rock.
[0012] (2) By setting up guardrails on one side of the sidewalk, this utility model improves the safety of subsequent workers and prevents them from falling into the sedimentation tank. Setting up a gate at the entrance of the sedimentation tank chamber can ensure that people do not accidentally enter and further improve the safety of underground operations. Setting up I-beams on the platforms on both sides of the clear water tank chamber and laying steel plates on the steel beams makes it easy to fix the drainage equipment on the I-beams and also provides a working platform for subsequent installation and maintenance. At the same time, it can also prevent workers from falling into the clear water tank and improve the safety of underground operations.
[0013] (3) This utility model achieves sedimentation and filtration of sewage by setting up a water-retaining wall between the sedimentation tank and the clear water tank and reserving a drainage outlet on the water-retaining wall. It leaves the sludge in the sedimentation tank and allows the clear water to enter the clear water tank, which facilitates subsequent drainage and reduces the wear of the drainage equipment by the sludge.

[0027] In this embodiment, a 200mm × 200mm (width × height) drainage outlet 51 is reserved on the retaining wall 5.
[0028] In this implementation case, the drainage equipment fixing platform 7 is made of concrete and has a width of 800mm. Four I-beam steel beams 71 are set on the platform at a spacing of 1000m. Drainage facilities 72 are placed on the I-beam steel beams 71, and 8mm thick patterned steel plates 73 are laid on the other spaces of the I-beam steel beams 71.
