Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coal mine ventilation and dust control, and relates to a coal mine fully mechanized tunneling face air distribution device. Background Technology
[0002] The tunneling face is one of the most dust-polluted locations in underground coal mines. Long-pressure short-extraction ventilation and dust removal is the most effective dust control measure for tunneling faces. In the long-pressure short-extraction ventilation and dust removal system, the ventilation control device plays an important role in preventing the spread of dust at the face, which greatly improves the dust removal efficiency of the tunneling face.
[0003] Currently, there are two main types of air control devices: flexible and rigid. Flexible devices are mostly made of rubber duct cloth, which causes large swaying of the radial air outlet and unstable airflow during use, easily affecting the air control effect. Rigid devices are mostly made of stainless steel, which is heavy, inconvenient to move, complicated to connect with the rubber duct, and the air direction of the radial air outlet cannot be adjusted. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a ventilation device for coal mine tunneling faces, which is lightweight, easy to move and install, and has adjustable air volume and direction.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a ventilation device for a coal mine fully mechanized tunneling face: including a cylinder, the cylinder having an axial airflow channel and a radial airflow channel, and a first air duct connecting section and a second air duct connecting section that cooperate with a rubber air duct respectively provided at both ends of the cylinder;
[0006] The connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the second air duct connecting section in a manner that passes through the cylinder body, and the butterfly valve is installed in the second air duct connecting section and fixedly connected to the connecting rod;
[0007] The radial airflow channel is opened on the side of the cylinder. Multiple air vanes are installed in the radial airflow channel. The edge of each air vane is slidably connected to the inner wall of the radial airflow channel. The limiting rod slides along the axial direction of the cylinder through the radial airflow channel and through each air vane.
[0008] Optionally, two lifting rings are fixed on one side of the cylinder surface.
[0009] Optionally, both the first and second air duct connecting sections have concave grooves on their surfaces.
[0010] Optionally, a sealing ring is fixed at the edge of the butterfly valve to improve the sealing performance between the butterfly valve and the inner wall of the cylinder.
[0011] Optionally, the cylinder has a T-shaped structure with an axial length L1 of 1.0m and a radial length L2 of 0.7m.
[0012] Optionally, the angle adjustment range of the wind vane is -15° to +15°.
[0013] Optionally, the cylinder body can be made of polyurethane.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] (1) The cylinder is made of wear-resistant, flame-retardant and antistatic polyurethane material, weighing about 7.5kg, which greatly reduces the weight of the device and makes it more convenient to move and install.
[0016] (2) There are concave grooves on the connecting sections at both ends of the cylinder. When connecting, simply put the rubber air duct into the concave groove and tighten the tightening belt. The operation is simple and the connection is convenient when connecting with the rubber air duct.
[0017] (3) The wind direction of the radial air outlet can be changed by changing the angle of the wind vane. The wind direction adjustment range is -15° to +15°. When the wind direction angle is 0° to +15°, it is more conducive to wind and dust control at the tunnel face. When the wind direction angle is -15° to 0°, the dust in the superimposed section can be diluted in time.

[0028] Please see Figs. 1-4 This is a ventilation distribution device for a fully mechanized coal mine tunneling face, comprising a cylinder 1, a lifting ring 2, a first ventilation duct connecting section 3, a second ventilation duct connecting section 4, a butterfly valve 5, a wind vane 6, a connecting rod 7, a limiting rod 8, an axial airflow channel 9, and a radial airflow channel 10. The cylinder 1, as the main structure of the entire device, is designed with both axial airflow channels 9 and radial airflow channels 10. The axial airflow channel 9 runs through both ends of the cylinder 1 along its axis, allowing the main airflow to pass through. The radial airflow channel 10 is located on the side of the cylinder 1, used for regulating and distributing airflow.
[0029] At both ends of the cylinder 1, a first air duct connecting section 3 and a second air duct connecting section 4 are respectively provided. These two connecting sections are designed to fit and connect with the rubber air duct to ensure smooth airflow. To enhance the stability and sealing of the connection, both the first air duct connecting section 3 and the second air duct connecting section 4 have concave grooves on their surfaces to engage with the corresponding structure of the rubber air duct.
[0030] A connecting rod 7 is rotatably mounted across the cylinder 1 on the second air duct connecting section 4. One end of the connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the butterfly valve 5. By rotating the connecting rod 7, the butterfly valve 5 can be opened or closed inside the cylinder 1, thereby controlling the airflow of the axial airflow channel 9. To ensure the sealing between the butterfly valve 5 and the inner wall of the cylinder 1, a sealing ring is fixedly provided at the edge of the butterfly valve 5.
[0031] Multiple air vanes 6 are provided within the radial airflow channel 10. The edge of each air vane 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the radial airflow channel 10, allowing the air vane 6 to be angled within a certain range. To achieve adjustment and fixation of the air vane 6 angle, a limiting rod 8 is slidably inserted along the axial direction of the cylinder 1. The limiting rod 8 passes through the center hole of each air vane 6, and the angle of the air vane 6 can be locked or unlocked by moving the position of the limiting rod 8. In this embodiment, the angle adjustment range of the air vane 6 is -15° to +15° to meet the airflow adjustment requirements under different operating conditions.
[0032] To facilitate the hoisting and movement of the device, two lifting rings 2 are fixed to one side of the surface of the cylinder 1. The design of the lifting rings 2 allows operators to use hoisting equipment to hoist and move the entire device, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.
[0033] In this embodiment, the cylinder 1 is made of polyurethane. Polyurethane has excellent properties such as light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in harsh environments such as coal mines. Furthermore, the cylinder 1 is designed as a T-shaped structure, with an axial length L1 of 1.0m and a radial length L2 of 0.7m to meet the airflow distribution requirements in actual use.
[0034] The working principle of the ventilation distribution device for a fully mechanized coal mine tunneling face provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0035] In use, first, the device is suspended together with the rubber ventilation duct using the lifting ring 2. Then, the rubber ventilation duct is fitted into the concave grooves of the first ventilation duct connecting section 3 and the second ventilation duct connecting section 4, and the tightening strap is pulled tight, which can achieve quick and easy connection. During tunneling operations, the rotation angle of the butterfly valve 5 is controlled by the connecting rod 7 to adjust the axial and radial air volume, so that most of the airflow flows out radially, achieving dust control by utilizing the wall adhesion effect. The exhaust angle of the wind vane 6 is controlled by adjusting the limit rod 8 according to the site conditions, thereby changing the radial air outlet. The device is made of polyurethane material, which has the advantages of wear resistance, flame retardancy, and antistatic properties. The device weighs about 7.5 kg, which greatly reduces the weight of the device and makes it easier to move and install. The wind direction of the radial air outlet is changed by changing the angle of the wind vane. The wind direction adjustment range is -15° to +15°. When the wind direction angle is 0° to +15°, it is more conducive to wind and dust control at the tunnel face. When the wind direction angle is -15° to 0°, it can dilute the dust in the stacked section in time.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this technical solution, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
