Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of mine exhaust heat utilization system, belong to the energy-saving field invention creation. BACKGROUND

[0002] China's mining industry has a long history, since ancient times, mining industry has existed, and a relatively complete mining system is formed, since the reform and opening up, China's mining industry has entered a rapid development stage, the equipment and technology used are constantly progressing, and now, China's mining industry is moving towards green transformation and high-quality development. The situation under the mine is relatively complex, the underground space is narrow, and there are interconnected mine tunnels. Different mine tunnels have different work arrangements according to different work tasks. At the same time, there are pipelines and lines for ventilation and lighting in the mine, which produce some noise and dust. The temperature in the mine is very high, mainly due to the heat generated by mining equipment operation, blasting, high-temperature wall surface, and miners, which can reach 45°C, and the working environment is poor. Usually, the method to improve the underground mine heat environment is to send in a large amount of fresh air to absorb heat and suck a large amount of dust. High-temperature and high-pollution gas is directly discharged without treatment. The exhaust air temperature is usually higher than 30°C, which causes thermal pollution to the surrounding environment and destroys the ecology.

[0003] However, the existing mine ventilation heat utilization has some problems. The measures for mine ventilation and heat utilization are relatively simple, which cannot effectively solve the problem of heat utilization while enhancing the effect of mine ventilation. For example, Chinese patent 202411988314.7 discloses a mine ventilation and air exchange device for mining, which includes an outer cylinder. A circular filter screen is provided in the inner cavity of the outer cylinder. A monitoring module is provided at the bottom of the circular filter screen. When the device is used for mine ventilation, dust will adhere to the circular filter screen, dilute and remove the dust, and adjust the air quality underground. However, the design has the following shortcomings: first, the device can only treat dust and harmful gas in the mine, but it does not solve the problem of mine heat treatment, which will still cause pollution to the surrounding environment when discharged into the air; second, although the absorbed dust enters the receiving box, personnel still need to enter the mine to clean it regularly, which requires human intervention, making the device lack of automation. The present invention can use hot air in the mine as a low-temperature heat source for a heat pump, and the heat generated by the heat pump can be used to heat water. In addition, the cyclone dust collector and bag-type dust collector can effectively solve the problem of dust carried by mine hot air, reducing the pollution and damage of mine hot air to the surrounding environment.

The gaseous refrigerant after vaporization flows into the suction port of the compressor through the pipeline of the evaporator outlet naturally, and this process relies on the pressure difference of the refrigerant itself and the guidance of the system pipeline. The gaseous refrigerant after flowing into the compressor reduces the volume constantly, and the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant increase, and form high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the condenser along the exhaust pipeline, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the condenser exchanges heat with water, and heats the tap water. The heated hot water is stored in the high-level water tank, and the high-level water tank is mainly used for when needing water, and the water in the water tank flows downward along the pipeline by relying on the gravity, and provides water flow power for each water point, and guarantees that water can reach the required place smoothly. Meanwhile, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant after heat exchange with water in the condenser and temperature reduction directly flows into the throttling valve through the pipeline, and the throttling valve reduces the temperature and pressure of the high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and makes it transform into low-pressure and low-temperature liquid refrigerant, and flows into the evaporator through the liquid pipe to carry out the next cycle operation.

[0007] The utility model discloses the advantages are: the reuse of mine exhaust waste heat, green environmental protection, save power consumption, reduce the outlay and save the cost, reduce the energy consumption of mining area, at the same time, the waste heat utilization can reduce the underground temperature, reduce the risk of heat stroke of worker, reduce the probability of gas explosion, the temperature reduction hot air after heat exchange with evaporator refrigerant is discharged to the outside through exhaust vertical pipe, compared with the direct discharge to the outside through vertical shaft, can reduce the damage and pollution to the surrounding environment.
