Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of roadway dust removal technology, and relates to an airflow purification device for the return air roadway of a fully mechanized mining face. Background Technology
[0002] In the coal mining sector, fully mechanized longwall faces (MLTs) have significantly improved coal production efficiency due to their high degree of mechanization and intensive mining operations. However, this efficient mining method has also brought about a serious dust pollution problem. Because of the high dust generation intensity, dust control at fully mechanized longwall faces has become a crucial aspect of ensuring safe production and the health of workers. To address dust pollution at fully mechanized longwall faces, the industry has adopted a series of control measures. Regarding coal mining machine operations, spray dust suppression technology is used, which combines water mist with dust through spraying, causing it to settle. Spray-induced dust-laden airflow control technology utilizes the airflow generated by the spray to change the direction of the dust-laden airflow, achieving dust suppression. There is also coal mining machine controlled dust suppression technology, which reduces dust generation and diffusion by optimizing the operating parameters and control methods of the coal mining machine. In the hydraulic support area, dust collection and guiding devices for the supports and dust-falling guide devices for the hydraulic support side guard plates are installed to guide and collect dust, reducing dust concentration. These measures have effectively solved most of the dust problems to a certain extent, but some dust still enters the return air roadway with the return air flow from the working face, causing dust pollution in the return air roadway.
[0003] To address dust pollution in return air roadways, current methods primarily employ spray dust suppression technology and dust collection nets. In practical applications, spray dust suppression typically requires positioning the spray nozzle at the top of the roadway and using an upwind spraying method to achieve ideal dust reduction. While this method allows for sufficient contact between the water mist and the dust-laden airflow, improving dust suppression efficiency, the large amount of water mist generated by the spray diffuses into the air, severely impacting the visibility of nearby workers and causing significant inconvenience and safety hazards. Dust collection nets, to some extent, avoid the visibility problems associated with spray dust suppression. However, they also have significant drawbacks. Installing dust collection nets in the roadway significantly affects the operation and movement of vehicles, hindering normal vehicle passage and reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, because dust collection nets cannot achieve full cross-section coverage, gaps exist that allow dust leakage, resulting in poor dust collection effectiveness.
[0004] In actual working face production, the aforementioned two dust control measures often remain unused due to their respective shortcomings. This exacerbates dust pollution in the return air roadway of the fully mechanized mining face, threatening not only the health of workers but also potentially causing safety accidents and disrupting normal coal production.
[0005] Based on this, this application proposes an airflow purification device for the return air roadway of a fully mechanized mining face, which aims to effectively control dust pollution in the return air roadway of a fully mechanized mining face, while solving the problems of dust collection nets affecting roadway vehicle operations and spray dust suppression interfering with the visibility of operators.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0013] Furthermore, a movable component is provided at the bottom of the frame component to enable the frame component to move.
[0014] Furthermore, the wheels of the moving component adopt a universal wheel structure to enable the frame component to move in all directions.
[0015] Furthermore, the rotating lower component is hinged to the frame component via a hinge structure, so that the rotating lower component and the frame component can be arranged at different angles.
[0016] Furthermore, the rotating upper component is connected to the frame component via a hinge structure, so that the rotating upper component and the frame component can be arranged at different angles.
[0017] Furthermore, the frame component consists of a lower structure and an upper structure, with a passage for work vehicles to pass through in the middle. The lower structure and the upper structure are connected by a sleeve structure so that the upper structure can move up and down when connected to the lower structure.
[0018] Furthermore, the lifting component is a lifting hydraulic cylinder, with one end connected to the lower structure and the other end connected to the upper structure, to drive the lifting of the upper structure in the frame component.
[0019] Furthermore, the lifting component can adjust the height of the upper structure in the frame component according to the change in the height of the roadway.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides an airflow purification device for the return air roadway of a fully mechanized mining face, including a frame component 1, a lifting component 2, a rotating lower component 3, a rotating upper component 4, a spraying component 5, and a moving component 6.
[0036] Structural description:
[0037] The frame component 1 is the main structure of the device, used for the passage of working vehicles. It consists of a lower structure and an upper structure. The lower structure comprises two sets of parallel vertical frames, providing a passage for working vehicles in the middle of the frame component 1. Each of the two sets of parallel frames has a set of moving parts 6 at its bottom. The moving parts 6 employ a caster wheel structure, allowing the frame component 1 to move freely in various directions within the tunnel. The upper structure is a rectangular frame connected to the lower structure via a sleeve structure, enabling it to move up and down on the lower structure to adapt to tunnels of different heights.
[0038] Specifically, the upper structure has four vertically arranged columns at its bottom, and the lower structure has four sleeves that match the four columns. The columns are inserted into the sleeves to form a sleeve structure, so that the upper structure can move up and down when connected to the lower structure.
[0039] The lifting component 2 is a lifting hydraulic cylinder, which is set on both sides of the frame component 1. One end is connected to the lower structure and the other end is connected to the upper structure. The upper structure is lifted and lowered by the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder, thereby adjusting the height of the device to adapt to the changes in the height of the roadway.
[0040] A spraying component 5 is provided in the middle of the upper structure of the frame component 1. The spraying component 5 includes a set of spray nozzles and a water pipe connected to the spray nozzles, which can spray water mist onto the area through which the vehicle passes to settle dust in the air.
[0041] The rotating lower component 3 is hinged to one side of the lower structure of the frame component 1 via a hinge structure, allowing it to rotate around the hinge structure and thus form different angle arrangements with the frame component 1. A dust-collecting net is provided in the middle of the rotating lower component 3 for collecting dust; a spraying component is provided on its upper part to spray water mist onto the dust-collecting net, further enhancing the dust-collecting effect.
[0042] The rotating upper component 4 is connected to one side of the upper structure of the frame component 1 via a hinge structure, and can also rotate around the hinge structure to form different angle arrangements with the frame component 1. A dust-collecting net is provided in the middle of the rotating upper component 4 to collect dust, and it rises and falls together with the upper structure to adapt to changes in the tunnel height.
[0043] In operation, the device is moved to a suitable position in the return airway via the moving component 6. The lifting component 2 adjusts the position of the upper structure according to the roadway height, adapting the device to the roadway environment. The rotating lower component 3 and rotating upper component 4 are adjusted to appropriate angles to accommodate different roadway widths and structures, maximizing dust collection efficiency. The spraying components 5 on the frame component 1 and the rotating lower component 3 simultaneously spray water mist, settling and collecting dust. Operating vehicles can pass through the internal space of the frame component 1 without obstruction.
[0044] This embodiment provides a basic airflow purification device that can effectively control dust in alleyways while ensuring convenient vehicle passage.
[0045] Example 2
[0046] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1, adding automated control functions to enhance the performance and adaptability of the device.
[0047] Similar to Embodiment 1, the airflow purification device in this embodiment includes a frame component 1, a lifting component 2, a rotating lower component 3, a rotating upper component 4, a spray component 5, and a moving component 6, with its basic structure being consistent with Embodiment 1. The frame component 1 consists of a lower structure and an upper structure, connected by a sleeve structure; the moving component 6 adopts a caster wheel structure; the lifting component 2 is a lifting hydraulic cylinder; the spray component 5 is located in the middle of the upper structure and on the rotating lower component 3; the rotating lower component 3 and the rotating upper component 4 are respectively connected to the lower structure and the upper structure through hinge structures, and a dust collection net is provided in the middle between them.
[0048] In this embodiment, the following improved features have been added:
[0049] A dust concentration sensor is installed on the top of the frame component 1 to monitor the wind speed and dust concentration in the tunnel in real time.
[0050] A control system has been added to the device, which is connected to the dust concentration sensor and the spray component 5.
[0051] In operation, the device is moved to a suitable position in the return air duct via the moving component 6. The control system automatically adjusts the spray volume based on data collected by the dust concentration sensor, and the spray component 5 automatically adjusts the spray volume according to real-time dust concentration data to ensure efficient dust control. Operating vehicles can still pass through the internal space of the frame component 1 without being affected.
[0052] Advantages: This embodiment achieves intelligent operation of the device by introducing sensors and a control system, which can automatically adjust the working status according to changes in the tunnel environment, thereby improving purification efficiency and adaptability.
