Detailed Implementation Methods

[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0036] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a water curtain dust removal system for coal mines, which includes: a spray section 1, a water collection section 2, and a water supply pipe 3.

[0037] The sprinkler section 1 is installed at the top of the tunnel, the water supply pipe 3 is installed on the side wall of the tunnel, and the branch pipe 4 is fixedly installed parallel to the tunnel on the upper end of the side wall of the tunnel. One end of the branch pipe 4 is open and the other end is closed. The water supply pipe 3 is threaded into the open end of the branch pipe 4. The top surface of the branch pipe 4 has multiple branch holes 8 for spirally connecting the sprinkler pipes 5. The branch holes 8 are spirally connected to the sprinkler pipes 5. The sprinkler pipes 5 are connected end to end through the main pipe of the tee 6. The branch pipe ends of the tee 6 are equipped with nozzles 7, thus forming the sprinkler section 9. Dust screens 10 are vertically installed at certain intervals L in the sprinkler section.

[0038] In this embodiment, when installing the water curtain dust removal system, all pipes are fixed to the inner wall of the tunnel using pipe clamps.

[0039] When using the water curtain dust removal system, water flows into the diversion pipe 4 through the water supply pipe 3. The diversion pipe 4 sends the water into the connected spray pipe 5, which then flows through the nozzle 7 and sprays out to form a dust removal water mist. The water mist adsorbs dust and other particles in the air in the tunnel and falls under the action of gravity, concentrating in the water collection section 2. Another part of the water mist is carried by the wind to the dust screen 10, forming a dust removal water curtain with a better dust collection effect. A large amount of water mist and dust are adsorbed and collected on the dust screen 10 and flow downwards, concentrating in the water collection section 2.

[0040] Preferably, the number of diversion holes 8 to be activated on the diversion pipe 4 is increased or decreased based on the actual working conditions in the roadway. When the roadway is large enough, the amount of dust is large enough, and the dust concentration is high, two or more diversion holes 8 can be activated simultaneously. At this time, the other unactivated diversion holes 8 are in a blocked state, which can form multiple spray sections 9 to improve dust removal efficiency. In addition, the number of nozzles on the spray section can also be increased or decreased according to the actual working conditions, and the spray direction of the nozzles can also be changed according to the actual working conditions, which also improves the dust removal effect and efficiency.

[0041] Preferred, such as Figure 4 As shown, the spray pipe 5 has two structures, long and short. The first section of the spray pipe connected to the first diversion hole on the diversion pipe 4 uses a long spray hose 502, while the first section of the spray pipe connected to the second diversion hole on the diversion pipe 4 uses a short spray hose 501. This allows all the nozzles on the first and second spray sections to be arranged in an alternating array, increasing the overall density of the water curtain and improving the adsorption efficiency of the water curtain for dust.

[0042] Preferably, when installing the water curtain dust removal system, the spray pipe 5 is a flexible hose, which allows the layout and shape of the spray section 9 to be changed arbitrarily. When the tunnel is arched, the spray section 9 can be arranged in an arch shape to fit the top of the tunnel arch; when the tunnel is square, the spray section 9 can be arranged in a straight line to fit the top of the tunnel, effectively increasing the distribution of water mist on the tunnel cross section.

[0043] Preferably, when the water curtain dust removal system is started, the layout and shape of the spray section 9 can be flexibly changed due to changes in airflow and dust movement in the tunnel caused by time, air volume and tunnel deformation, so as to form a water mist distribution across the entire cross section of the tunnel, thereby achieving more efficient dust removal.

[0044] Preferably, when starting the water curtain dust removal system, the direction of any section of the spray section 9 nozzle 7 can be changed so that the nozzle 7 faces the dust net 10, forming a dust removal water curtain with higher dust collection efficiency, which significantly improves the dust removal efficiency.

[0045] The water collection section 2 includes a gravity-flow sludge collection trough 12, a load-bearing beam 13, a load-bearing horizontal axis 14, and a water-leaking grid 15. The gravity-flow sludge collection trough 12 is a wedge-shaped groove dug on the leeward side below the spray section 1 in the roadway. One end of the groove is dug deeper and the other end is dug shallower, so that the entire groove is trapezoidal when viewed from the side. The load-bearing beam 13 is designed to fit the trapezoidal groove in a wedge shape. There are two load-bearing beams 13, which are placed in the gravity-flow sludge collection trough 12 at a certain distance from each other on the left and right, so that the inclined surface of the load-bearing beam 13 coincides with the inclined surface of the gravity-flow sludge collection trough 12. It is used to support the weight of passing equipment and materials. The upper surface of the load-bearing beam 13 has a certain length and width so that it can fit the length of the gravity-flow sludge collection trough 12. The load-bearing horizontal axis 14 is installed horizontally through the array on the left and right load-bearing beams 13 to support the weight of the workers passing through. The water-leaking grille 15 is made of stainless steel and is fixedly connected to the load-bearing beams 13 and the load-bearing horizontal axis 14, so that the weight of the workers passing through can be evenly distributed on the load-bearing horizontal axis 14, and water mist and droplets can be leaked down and collected in the gravity-flow sludge collection tank 12.

[0046] In this embodiment, when using the water curtain dust removal system, the spray section 9 sprays water mist through the nozzles 7 to form a water curtain. Dust is adsorbed by the water mist and falls towards the drainage grille 15 under gravity. The drainage grille 15 allows the wastewater carrying the dust to pass through and drips into the gravity-flow sludge collection tank 12. Under the action of the airflow in the tunnel, most of the water mist sprayed by the spray section 9 drifts towards the dust barrier 10, forming a dust removal water curtain, adsorbing a large amount of dust carried by the airflow, and falling to the tunnel floor. The wastewater then flows through the drainage grille 15 into the gravity-flow sludge collection tank 12. The gravity-flow sludge collection tank 12 has a trapezoidal design. The wastewater flowing into the gravity-flow sludge collection tank 12 flows towards the deeper drainage ditch under gravity, and the wastewater in the drainage ditch flows into the longitudinal drainage ditch for discharge. When equipment or materials pass through, they pass through the left and right load-bearing beams 13 respectively. When workers pass through, they can step on the drainage grille 15 to pass through. The drainage grille 15 distributes the workers' weight evenly on the load-bearing horizontal axis 14, and the load-bearing horizontal axis 14 concentrates the weight on the left and right load-bearing beams 13.
