Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, tunnel ventilation fans are typically installed in tunnels during construction to ventilate the tunnel environment. Existing tunnel ventilation fans are usually tunnel jet fans, which include jet fans with pipe silencers fixed at both ends. A metal mesh is also installed inside one end of the silencer. However, after installation, the direction of the air inlet and outlet of this type of tunnel fan is fixed. When tunnel construction is underway, it is not convenient to align the air inlet with areas where dust is generated during construction. Therefore, although it can ventilate the tunnel, its compatibility with tunnel construction is low. Utility Model Content

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, a tunnel ventilation fan for tunnel construction includes a movable base frame 1. A fan 2 is detachably and fixedly installed on the upper part of the movable base frame 1. The fan 2 is a jet fan. Silencers 3 are installed on flanges at both ends of the fan 2. The silencers 3 are silencers for tunnel ventilation fans. The silencers 3 are detachably and fixedly installed with the movable base frame 1. A housing 5 is embedded and fixedly installed inside the movable base frame 1. A rotating air duct assembly 6 is provided in cooperation with the housing 5.

[0020] In this implementation plan, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2As shown, the rotating duct assembly 6 includes a rotating tube 61. One end of the rotating tube 61 is flanged and connected to a flexible hose 62. The flexible hose 62 is an accordion-style telescopic rubber hose. A rotating shaft 63 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating tube 61. A driven gear 64 and an encoder 67 are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 63, respectively. A driving gear 65 is meshed on one side of the driven gear 64. A motor 66 is driven and installed at the lower part of the driving gear 65. An encoder mounting bracket 68 is fixedly installed on one side of the encoder 67. The motor 66 drives the rotating shaft 63 to rotate through the driving gear 65 and the driven gear 64, thereby driving one end of the rotating tube 61 to rotate and adjust the orientation of the air inlet of the rotating tube 61. The encoder 67 is used to detect the rotation angle and number of rotations of the rotating shaft 63 and transmit the data to the power distribution control box. The user can control the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 63 by controlling the rotation of the motor 66 through the power distribution control box. The flexible hose 62 allows one end of the rotating tube 61 to have a certain range of motion relative to the silencer 3, so that the rotating tube 61 can adjust the orientation of the air inlet.

[0021] In this embodiment, specifically, a metal mesh plate 4 can be detachably and fixedly installed inside the outer end of each silencer 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, specifically, the encoder mounting bracket 68 and the motor 66 are both fixedly installed inside the housing 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, specifically, the lower end bearing of the rotating shaft 63 is installed inside the housing 5.

[0024] In this embodiment, specifically, the upper end of the rotating shaft 63 passes through the housing 5 and is installed with the housing 5 via a sealed bearing.

[0025] In this embodiment, specifically, the flexible hose 62 is flanged and connected to the end of one of the silencers 3 that is furthest from the fan 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, specifically, a power distribution control box is also installed inside the mobile base frame 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, specifically, the power distribution control box is electrically connected to the fan 2, the motor 66 and the encoder 67, and the power distribution control box serves to supply power and control the fan 2, the motor 66 and the encoder 67.

[0028] Working principle

[0029] In this invention, the tunnel fan is moved to the vicinity of the tunnel construction site, and one end of the air outlet is connected to the tunnel exhaust network through an external pipeline. The position of the rotating pipe 61 can be adjusted by rotating the air duct assembly 6 so that the air inlet of the rotating pipe 61 can be aligned with the construction location, thereby expelling the dust generated during the construction process. This is more suitable for tunnel construction. The fan 2 draws air out of the tunnel to provide ventilation. The silencer 3 is used to reduce the noise generated by the fan 2 during operation. The metal mesh plate 4 prevents large objects from entering the silencer 3.

[0030] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution of this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
