Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vertical shaft construction technology, and in particular to a device for collecting and treating smoke and dust during vertical shaft TBM tunneling. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of society, the importance attached to the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and the continuous development of high-speed rail and subway, our country has become the country with the most and most complex and diverse tunnels in the world. When tunnel operations were first started, the methods used were relatively backward, the risk factor was relatively high, the amount of dust was relatively large, and the noise pollution was serious. However, at present, with the development of the times and the continuous improvement of the level of science and technology, we have begun to pay attention to the technological development of tunnels, starting from aspects such as safety and rationality, mechanical construction, rational planning and environmental protection.

[0003] However, both traditional manual drilling and blasting and TBM technology construction generate dust and harmful gases during the construction process. Especially in the construction of vertical shaft TBMs, some of the rock cut by the equipment cannot be discharged in time. After being repeatedly cut and ground by the cutterhead, it will turn into powder, resulting in a significant increase in dust concentration. Furthermore, many tunnels are now being constructed in various protected areas and forests, where residents inevitably live. Without dust suppression measures, it will cause great harm to the environment and residents' lives.

[0004] Currently, the main method for dust suppression during tunnel construction is through forced-in or extraction ventilation. While this method can expel dust from the tunnel, it causes significant environmental pollution outside. Water mist dust suppression is also used in tunnels, but large amounts of water should not be used inside, especially since vertical shafts already contain a large amount of powdery rock debris. Direct use of water mist dust suppression would cause the water-dust mixture to fall and accumulate on the equipment under gravity, thus affecting construction. Therefore, it is essential to address the issue of smoke and dust from vertical shaft TBM excavation spreading outside the tunnel, and to resolve the impact of construction on the environment and residents' lives at its source. Utility Model Content

Multiple sets of high-pressure water mist pipes are fixedly installed inside the water mist chamber, and each high-pressure water mist pipe is fixedly equipped with a high-pressure water mist nozzle.

[0008] To minimize the impact on the construction process, preferably, the top of the cover has an opening, and a baffle is provided on the opening.

[0010] To facilitate the fixing of the air duct, a fixing plate is further fixedly installed on the outer wall of the water mist chamber, a fixing clamp is fixedly installed on the fixing plate, and a movable clamp is installed on the fixing plate by bolts. The air duct is arranged between the fixing clamp and the movable clamp, and a shock-absorbing pad is fixedly installed between the fixing plate and the outer wall of the water mist chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, rubber pads are fixedly provided on the inner walls of both the fixed clamp and the movable clamp, and the inside of the rubber pads abuts against the outer wall of the air duct.

This can solve the problem of dust spreading outward during vertical shaft TBM excavation from the source, complete the dust suppression before the dust spreads, save a lot of dust suppression costs, reduce the impact of construction on the environment and residents' lives, and ensure the progress of the project.

[0015] 2. This dust collection and treatment device for vertical shaft TBM excavation construction uses fixed and movable clamps to fix the air duct to the outer wall of the water mist chamber, reducing shaking during use.

[0025] Example:

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 A dust collection and treatment device for vertical shaft TBM excavation includes a cover 2 fixed to the top of the vertical shaft body 1. The cover 2 is a rotating disc-shaped structure, preferably made of aluminum alloy. The outer wall of the vertical shaft body 1 and the bottom of the cover 2 are fixedly connected by a triangular bracket. A sealing gasket is fixedly installed on the bottom end face of the cover 2 and the top end face of the vertical shaft body 1 to reduce the leakage of smoke. Anti-rust paint is fixedly installed on the cover 2. An opening is provided at the top of the cover 2, and a cover 3 is provided on the opening. The opening allows personnel, materials and equipment to enter and exit the vertical shaft body 1. It also includes a water mist chamber 7 for dust suppression and a smoke exhaust section for dust extraction. The input end of the smoke exhaust section extends into the shaft body 1 through the cover 2, and the output end of the smoke exhaust section is connected to the water mist chamber 7. Multiple sets of high-pressure water mist pipes 6 are fixedly installed in the water mist chamber 7. There are two to ten sets of high-pressure water mist pipes 6, preferably four sets. High-pressure water mist nozzles are fixedly installed on each set of high-pressure water mist pipes 6.

[0027] In use, the top of the shaft body 1 is covered by the cover 2, and a smoke exhaust fan 4 is fixedly installed on the cover 2. A water mist chamber 7 is fixedly installed on the outside of the shaft body 1. The smoke exhaust fan 4 can draw out the smoke and dust in the shaft body 1 and transport it into the water mist chamber 7. Under the action of the high-pressure water mist pipe 6 and the high-pressure water mist nozzle, the dust suppression effect can be achieved. This can solve the problem of dust spreading outward during the shaft TBM excavation process from the source, complete the dust suppression before the dust spreads, save a lot of dust suppression costs, reduce the impact of construction on the environment and residents' lives, and ensure the progress of the project.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 Here, we design the smoke exhaust section as a smoke exhaust fan 4. The input end of the smoke exhaust fan 4 extends into the vertical shaft body 1 through the cover 2, and the output end of the smoke exhaust fan 4 is connected to one end of the water mist chamber 7 through the air duct 5. There are multiple sets of smoke exhaust fans 4. Here, we prefer two sets. When in use, by starting the smoke exhaust fan 4, air is drawn from the vertical shaft body 1, and the smoke and dust generated during construction can be transported to the water mist chamber 7 through the air duct 5, so as to deal with the smoke and dust in time and improve the use effect.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A fixing plate 9 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the water mist chamber 7. A fixing clip 901 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 9. A movable clip 902, corresponding to the fixing clip 901, is detachably installed on the fixing plate 9 via bolts. The air duct 5 is placed between the fixing clip 901 and the movable clip 902 to fix the air duct 5. A shock-absorbing pad 904 is fixedly installed between the fixing plate 9 and the outer wall of the water mist chamber 7. Rubber pads 903 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the fixing clip 901 and the movable clip 902. The duct 5 abuts against the outer wall. During use, the duct 5 can be fixed to the outer wall of the mist chamber 7 by using the fixed clamp 901 and the movable clamp 902, reducing shaking during use. In addition, a shock-absorbing pad 904 is fixedly installed between the fixed plate 9 and the mist chamber 7 to reduce vibration and ensure normal use. Furthermore, a rubber pad 903 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed clamp 901 and the movable clamp 902, which not only improves the fixing effect of the duct 5 and avoids damaging the duct 5, but also has a certain buffering and shock-absorbing effect.

[0030] Reference Figures 2-4A drain pipe 8 with a valve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water mist chamber 7. An inclined surface is fixedly installed at the bottom inner part of the water mist chamber 7, with the inlet of the drain pipe 8 located at the bottom of the inclined surface. An exhaust port 701 is opened at the other end of the water mist chamber 7. An arc-shaped cover 702 is fixedly installed on the end face of the exhaust port 701 inside the water mist chamber 7. The opening of the arc-shaped cover 702 faces downwards, providing a certain degree of obstruction to the flue gas and preventing it from flowing directly to the exhaust port 701. A valve is fixedly installed on the outer end face of the exhaust port 701. The system includes a mounting frame 10, which is fixed to the outer wall of the mist chamber 7 with screws. A filter screen 11 is fixedly installed at one end of the mounting frame 10 that extends into the exhaust port 701. During use, a drain pipe 8 is fixedly installed on the mist chamber 7 to facilitate the treatment of the smoke and dust collected inside the mist chamber 7. An exhaust port 701 is provided on the mist chamber 7 to facilitate the discharge of gas inside the mist chamber 7. The filter screen 11 installed in the exhaust port 701 can reduce the amount of smoke and dust carried by the gas during discharge and improve the performance.

[0031] In this invention, the TBM tunneling machine generates a large amount of dust and smoke during the tunneling process in the shaft body 1. Under the action of ventilation, this dust and smoke moves towards the tunnel entrance and is blocked by the aluminum alloy cover 2. At this time, it can be discharged in a concentrated manner by the exhaust fan 4 and enters the water mist room 7 through the air duct 5. In the water mist room 7, the high-pressure water mist system is used to reduce the dust into mud and water, and finally discharge it through the sewage pipe 8.

[0032] In practical use, a 10m diameter, 2mm thick aluminum alloy cover 2 is installed at the opening of the main shaft 1, and reinforced with 5cm angle steel to prevent deformation. The cover 2 is treated with anti-rust paint to prevent rusting, and fixed inside the opening on all four sides. A 3m long and 3m wide movable opening is set on the door for personnel, materials, and equipment to enter and exit. Preferably, two 1.1m diameter circular smoke exhaust outlets are set on the door, and each is equipped with a 1.1m diameter fan 4 with a power of 4kW. The dust discharged by the smoke exhaust fans 4 is connected to a 5m high, 5m long at the bottom, and 3m wide water mist chamber 7 using a duct 5. The high-pressure water mist pipes 6 are arranged at 1m intervals, each 2.8m long, and a high-pressure water mist nozzle is set at 0.4m intervals. The water mist chamber 7 can be constructed using prefabricated materials. During construction, a sewage system must be in place and the chamber must be airtight to prevent dust leakage.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
