Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating equipment technology, specifically to a mobile heating device for winter construction of tunnels in cold regions. Background Technology
[0002] According to tunnel construction safety and electrical safety regulations, the use of ordinary electric heaters for heating is strictly prohibited during tunnel construction operations. The main reasons are as follows: I. Safety Risks. 1. Fire Risk: Electric heaters are high-power heating devices. Tunnels often contain flammable materials (such as oil, waterproofing materials, cable insulation, etc.), and ventilation is limited. Overheating or short circuits can easily cause fires. 2. Suffocation and Poisoning Due to Insufficient Ventilation. The enclosed space inside a tunnel means electric heaters will increase oxygen consumption. If ventilation is poor, it may cause oxygen deficiency or carbon monoxide accumulation among construction workers (especially when internal combustion equipment is present). 3. Electrical Safety Hazards: The damp environment in tunnels can easily lead to insulation failure and leakage in electric heaters, causing electric shock accidents. II. Violation of Construction Regulations. 1. The use of open flames and non-explosion-proof electric heating equipment is strictly prohibited. Safety regulations clearly stipulate that open flames are not allowed for heating in tunnels, and ordinary electric heaters do not meet explosion-proof and waterproof requirements, making them illegal equipment. 2. Voltage Level Restrictions: Damp areas within the tunnel require the use of safe voltages (such as 36V, 24V, or even 12V). Ordinary electric heaters typically require 220V power; exceeding these standards increases the risk. 3. Power Load Restrictions: The total load for tunnel power usage must be strictly calculated. Temporarily adding high-power equipment may cause line overload tripping, affecting the operation of critical systems such as ventilation and lighting.
[0003] Application No. 2010206028582 discloses a heating stove, specifically a heating stove for use in tunnel construction during winter. This invention solves the problems of low average effective utilization rate of heat generated by existing radiator-equipped water-cooled boilers, resulting in significant energy waste; increased construction costs due to the need to increase the number of radiators and boilers to ensure heating area; and wasted time and manpower. This invention includes a combustion furnace body, a heat source furnace body, a fan, and multiple hot air delivery pipes. The combustion furnace body is located inside the heat source furnace body, forming a sealed air cavity between them. The fan is located at the lower end of the heat source furnace body, and its outlet is connected to the sealed air cavity. Multiple hot air delivery pipes are installed at the upper end of the heat source furnace body, and each hot air delivery pipe is connected to the sealed air cavity. This invention is used for heating inside tunnels during winter construction.
[0004] While the above technical solutions can solve the heating problem during tunnel construction in winter, the following problems still exist: 1. Limited use: The air composition inside the tunnel is complex, and when there are flammable and explosive gases in the air, open flame heating equipment can easily cause safety accidents; 2. High safety risks: Open flame heating equipment consumes a lot of oxygen, which can easily cause asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning accidents, and other flammable materials can easily be ignited; 3. Difficult to move, limiting the heating range. Utility Model Content

[0014] The principle of this utility model: To solve the problems of limited use, high safety risks, and difficulty in moving existing winter tunnel construction heating devices, this utility model achieves this through the following technical solution: This utility model adopts a combination of electric heating and water heating. Radiators are installed on the four sides of the outer wall of the carriage. There is a water tank inside the carriage, with heating rods at the bottom of the tank to heat the heat-conducting medium, purified water. There is a hot water outlet at the top of the tank. A water pump pumps hot water into the inlet of the radiators. After heat exchange, the water temperature drops and flows out from the outlet of the radiator. It then re-enters the water tank through the return outlet. Due to the influence of temperature on water density, cold water accumulates at the bottom of the tank. After being heated by the heating rods, the hot water rises to the top of the tank and re-enters the radiators through the hot water outlet to complete another heat exchange, converting electrical energy into heat energy. The hot water outlet has four branch pipes, which are connected to the four radiators respectively. Electric... The solenoid valve can independently control the operation of four radiators. The heating rods are powered by an external low-voltage power supply, which is boosted by a boost module. The low-voltage power supply is connected to the power input port, which is connected to the boost module. The boosted power is output from the power output port, which is connected to the heating rods. To ensure the normal operation of the boost module and control chip in the control box and to avoid the effects of high humidity in the tunnel, the PTC heating element in the control box is activated during the preheating stage of the heating device. The heat generated dries the moisture in the control box, and the moisture is exhausted by a fan through the ventilation openings on the top and side walls of the control box, keeping the control box dry and ensuring stable operation of the device. The control chip is existing technology, and mature products can be purchased from the market. The control chip is powered by an external low-voltage power supply and mainly controls the working status of the heating rods, PTC heating elements, fans, solenoid valves, and temperature sensors to realize functions such as heating, dehumidification, and heat supply.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A mobile heating device for winter construction of tunnels in cold regions is easy to operate, portable, can be used in complex tunnel environments, has strong adaptability, is safe and reliable, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and can provide a comfortable working environment for workers.
