Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mine ventilation monitoring systems, and in particular to an intelligent mine local ventilation fan monitoring system. Background Technology
[0002] Mining environments are complex and dangerous, making ventilation systems crucial for ensuring safe production. Traditional mine ventilation systems rely primarily on manual adjustment and periodic inspections, resulting in issues such as inadequate real-time monitoring, difficulty in precisely controlling ventilation effectiveness, high energy consumption, and delayed fault diagnosis. These shortcomings not only increase safety hazards but also negatively impact production efficiency and resource utilization.
[0003] With the advancement of intelligent mine construction, mine ventilation management is gradually developing towards intelligence and automation. Intelligent local ventilation systems, through the introduction of sensors, IoT technology, and data analysis platforms, achieve real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of ventilation equipment. This system can precisely adjust the operating status of local ventilators, improve ventilation efficiency, ensure air quality at the working face, and effectively save energy.
[0004] However, existing mine ventilation management still has problems: First, traditional mine ventilation systems rely on manual inspection and adjustment, lacking real-time monitoring, resulting in unstable ventilation effects; Second, intelligent monitoring systems use sensors and data acquisition equipment for real-time monitoring, but still suffer from poor system stability and low automation; Third, automatic adjustment and energy-saving control of local ventilation fans have not been fully realized in some systems and urgently need optimization.

The external power supply of the mining explosion-proof and intrinsically safe DC regulated power supply is AC660V / 127V.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

The data is then transmitted sequentially via a mine control cable to two mine explosion-proof and intrinsically safe fan monitoring substations, a mine intrinsically safe network switch, and a normal industrial control main unit. The system enables timely data uploads to understand the ventilation status within the mine. Based on this data, the ventilation fan is controlled by an explosion-proof and intrinsically safe dual-power frequency converter. Combined with parameter control, the coordinated operation of the ventilation fan achieves energy savings.

Multiple sets of mine explosion-proof and intrinsically safe ventilation fan monitoring substations 18 and 29 can be set up. Data detection modules are installed in the mine as needed to achieve comprehensive data monitoring in the mine.
[0027] The data detection module includes a low-concentration methane sensor 10 for coal mines, a temperature sensor 11 for mines, a carbon monoxide sensor 12 for mines, an intrinsically safe vibration sensor 13 for mines, and a wind speed sensor 14 for mines. These sensors can detect the methane concentration, temperature, carbon monoxide concentration, vibration amplitude, and wind speed in the mine, respectively. Combined with the industrial control host, the module can send a signal to the explosion-proof and intrinsically safe dual-power frequency converter 15 for the ventilation fan, enabling it to control the ventilation fan 16 to operate in coordination.

Surge protector 5 is connected to the 2KVh uninterruptible power supply 4 via power lines. The external power supply for surge protector 5 is 220VAC to ensure long-term operation.
[0029] Printer 1, normal industrial control host 2, and standby industrial control host 3 are connected to mining intrinsically safe network switch 7 via mining communication cables. Mining intrinsically safe network switch 7 is connected to mining explosion-proof and intrinsically safe DC regulated power supply 6 via mining cables. The external power supply of mining explosion-proof and intrinsically safe DC regulated power supply 6 is AC660V / 127V, which can stably supply power to the equipment and ensure long-term operation.
[0030] The explosion-proof and intrinsically safe ventilation monitoring substation 1 (8) and the explosion-proof and intrinsically safe ventilation monitoring substation 2 (9) are connected to each other via a mining communication optical cable and a mining intrinsically safe network switch 7. The explosion-proof and intrinsically safe ventilation monitoring substation 1 (8) and the explosion-proof and intrinsically safe ventilation monitoring substation 2 (9) are connected to a coal mine low-concentration methane sensor 10, a mine temperature sensor 11, a mine carbon monoxide sensor 12, a mine intrinsically safe vibration sensor 13, and a mine wind speed sensor 14 via mining control cables.

[0033] Working Principle: During data detection, the interoperability of the low-concentration methane sensor 10, mine temperature sensor 11, mine carbon monoxide sensor 12, intrinsically safe vibration sensor 13, and mine wind speed sensor 14 in the mine enables the detection of methane concentration, mine temperature, carbon monoxide concentration, vibration amplitude, and wind speed within the mine. The data is transmitted via mine control cables to mine explosion-proof and intrinsically safe fan monitoring substation 1 (8) and mine explosion-proof and intrinsically safe fan monitoring substation 2 (9). Mine explosion-proof and intrinsically safe fan monitoring substation 1 (8) and mine explosion-proof and intrinsically safe fan monitoring substation 2 (9) transmit the data via mine communication optical cables to mine intrinsically safe network switch 7 and normal industrial control host 2. Timely data uploads allow for monitoring of ventilation status within the mine. Based on this data and combined with parameter control, the ventilation fan 16 operates in coordination. The main control unit 2 sends signals to the explosion-proof and intrinsically safe dual-power frequency converter 15 for the ventilation fan. The explosion-proof and intrinsically safe dual-power frequency converter 15 then controls the ventilation fan 16 to operate at different intensities, ensuring stable ventilation throughout the mine. Tailored ventilation solutions achieve energy savings. The coordinated operation of the equipment enables intelligent control of ventilation within the mine. The use of a 2KVh uninterruptible power supply 4 and a mine-use explosion-proof and intrinsically safe DC regulated power supply 6 provides a stable power supply guarantee, ensuring long-term stable operation within the mine.
