Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mine dust removal and ventilation, specifically to a coal release dust suppression device and coal release dust suppression system for a fully mechanized top coal caving support. Background Technology

[0002] The longwall top coal caving process generates a large amount of dust (including coal dust and rock dust) during coal release, which not only seriously endangers the health of workers but also threatens the safe mining of the face. Therefore, the problem of dust control during coal release urgently needs to be solved. To address this technical issue, existing technologies propose installing dust suppression nozzles on the longwall top coal caving support for spraying dust during coal release. However, most of these nozzles are directly installed on the shield beam, tail beam, roof beam, and sidewalls (e.g., patent: a multi-point spray dust suppression device for longwall top coal caving faces). While placing the nozzles on the roof beam and shield beam can compensate for the incomplete dust suppression caused by nozzles on the tail beam and shield beam, the disadvantage is that it sprays dust onto the workers, which is counterproductive. Furthermore, some water mist from the nozzles on the shield beam also sprays onto the workers. The above problems are caused by incomplete dust suppression by the nozzles on the shield beam and tail beam. Therefore, if the setting of the nozzles on the shield beam and tail beam can be optimized, the dust can be controlled near the coal discharge port during the coal discharge process, so that the dust does not enter the workers' activity area. There is no need to set nozzles on the top beam and side plate, which can save water and improve the workers' working environment. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a dust suppression device for top coal caving supports in fully mechanized top coal caving, comprising a top coal caving hydraulic support and a dust suppression component.

[0011] This utility model proposes an intelligent coal release and dust suppression device for a fully mechanized top coal caving support, including the aforementioned coal release and dust suppression device for a fully mechanized top coal caving support, and further including a first fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor and a second fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor. The first fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor is located near a first nozzle, and the second fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor is located near a second nozzle.

It eliminates the need for nozzles on the top beam and side panels, thus saving water and improving the working environment for workers. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figures 1-2As shown, this utility model discloses a coal caving support dust suppression device, including a top coal caving hydraulic support and a dust suppression component. The top coal caving hydraulic support includes a shield beam 3, a tail beam 4, a front connecting rod 7, and a rear connecting rod 6. The rear end of the front connecting rod 7 is connected to the front middle part of the shield beam 3, and the rear end of the rear connecting rod 6 is connected to the middle part of the shield beam 3. The front ends of the front connecting rod 7 and the rear connecting rod 6 are connected to a base 9. A hydraulic column 5 is provided on the base 9, and a top beam 2 is connected to the top of the hydraulic column 5. The front end of the top beam 2 is connected to the rear end of the front beam 1, and the rear end is connected to the front end of the shield beam 3. The front end of the front beam 1 is also connected to a side guard plate 8. The front end of the base 9 is also connected to a front scraper conveyor 10. A tail beam 4 is slidably disposed inside the rear end of the shield beam 3. The tail beam 4 can slide into or out of the shield beam 3. A rear scraper conveyor 11 is disposed below the rear end of the shield beam 3 and the tail beam 4. The dust suppression assembly includes components disposed in the middle of the shield beam 3 along the width direction of the hydraulic support. The main water pipe 12 is specifically located at the lower part of the connection between the rear connecting rod 6 and the shield beam 3. Two first branch water pipes 14 extend from the main water pipe 12 along the length of the shield beam. A first valve 19 is provided at the front of each first branch water pipe 14, and two first nozzles 16 are spaced apart at the rear. The first nozzles 16 are located at the rear end of the shield beam 3, adjacent to the front of the rear scraper conveyor 11, and the spray direction of the first nozzles 16 is downward. Two second branch water pipes 13 extend vertically downward from the main water pipe 12, corresponding to the positions of the two first branch water pipes 14. A second valve 20 is provided at the top of each second branch water pipe 13, and three second nozzles 15 are spaced apart at the same height. The spray direction of the second nozzles 15 is backward. The opening degree of the first valve 19 and the second valve 20 is adjustable. A dust curtain 17 is vertically provided in the middle and rear part of the shield beam 3. The dust curtain 17 is preferably a rollable dust curtain.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides a coal release and dust suppression system for a fully mechanized top coal caving support, including sequentially adjacent... n Dust suppression device for coal release on top coal caving supports in fully mechanized top coal caving. n The main water pipes 12 of the dust suppression device of the longwall top coal caving support are connected in sequence, and the main water pipe 12 of the dust suppression component of the longwall top coal caving support at one end is connected to the water supply system; in the dust suppression system, all the first branch water pipes 14 and the second branch water pipes 13 are set at equal intervals along the width direction of the hydraulic support.

[0022] The usage method of Example 1 is as follows: When it is necessary to release coal from a certain top coal caving hydraulic support, the tail beam 4 is retracted to the shield beam 3 to start releasing coal. The released coal is transported out by the rear scraper conveyor 11. At the same time, the first valve 19 and the second valve 20 in the dust suppression component on the top coal caving hydraulic support are opened. The first nozzle 16 sprays downward to suppress dust, reducing the movement of dust forward and forming the first layer of dust blocking, which greatly reduces the dust concentration. The dust that cannot be blocked moves forward, and then the dust curtain 17 forms the second layer of dust blocking. Due to the impact of coal release, the dust curtain 17 will move, and the dust curtain 17 cannot achieve absolute sealing, that is, the dust blocking amount 17 cannot completely block the dust, but only a small amount of dust continues to move forward through the dust blocking amount 17. The second nozzle 15 sprays backward to suppress dust and block the dust from moving forward, thereby preventing the dust from entering below the top beam 2 where the workers are working. This achieves the goal of controlling the dust near the coal release port, so that the dust no longer enters the workers' activity area. There is no need to install nozzles on the top beam and the side plate, which can save water and improve the workers' working environment. Finally, coal discharge is stopped, and the tail beam 4 extends out of the shield beam 3 to block the gangue 18 outside the hydraulic support for top coal discharge. It should be noted that since the dust concentration at the first nozzle 16 is much higher than that at the second nozzle 15, the spray volume at the second nozzle 15 can be controlled to be less than that at the first nozzle 16. This is specifically achieved by controlling the opening degree of the first valve 19 and the second valve 20.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model further provides an intelligent coal release and dust suppression device for a fully mechanized top coal caving support. In addition to the coal release and dust suppression device for a fully mechanized top coal caving support as described in Embodiment 1, it also includes a first fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor and a second fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor. The first fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor is located near the first nozzle 16, and the second fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor is located near the second nozzle 15, preferably at the lowest point of the second nozzle 15. The first and second fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensors are of model FBG-DC100. In this embodiment, the first valve 19 and the second valve 20 are intrinsically safe intelligent electric ball valves for mining, model Q941F-16C. DN100; the first fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor and the second fiber Bragg grating dust concentration sensor; the first valve 19 and the second valve 20 are connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC) (Siemens S7-1200 / 1500). The PLC controller sets the spray dust suppression concentration or spray dust suppression pressure corresponding to different dust concentrations; for example, when the dust concentration is less than or equal to 5 mg / m³... 3 When the valve opening is set to 50%, the corresponding nozzle water pressure is 1.6 MPa; when the dust concentration is greater than or equal to 10 mg / m³ 3When the valve opening is set to 80%, the corresponding nozzle water pressure is 3.1 MPa; when the dust concentration is 5~10 mg / m³ 3 When the dust concentration is between 5 mg / m³, set the dust concentration to 5 mg / m³. 3 For every additional 1 mg / m 3 The valve opening is increased in increments of 6% from 50%, and the nozzle water pressure is increased in increments of 0.3 MPa from 1.6 MPa (see Table 1 below for details). The above settings only require inputting the minimum and maximum target dust concentrations, valve opening, and the increments at which the valve is open into the PLC controller interface.

[0026]

[0027] This embodiment also provides an intelligent coal release and dust suppression system for fully mechanized top coal caving supports, comprising sequentially adjacent... n Intelligent coal feeding and dust suppression device for fully mechanized top coal caving supports. n The main water pipes 12 of the intelligent coal feeding and dust suppression device of the fully mechanized top coal caving support are connected in sequence, and the main water pipe 12 of the coal feeding and dust suppression component of the fully mechanized top coal caving support at one end is connected to the water supply system; in the dust suppression system, all the first branch water pipes 14 and the second branch water pipes 13 are set at equal intervals along the width direction of the hydraulic support.

[0028] The usage method of Example 2 is as follows: When it is necessary to release coal from a certain top coal caving hydraulic support, the tail beam 4 is retracted into the shield beam 3 to start releasing coal. The released coal is transported out by the rear scraper conveyor 11. At the same time, the first valve 19 and the second valve 20 in the dust suppression component on the top coal caving hydraulic support are opened. The first nozzle 16 sprays downward to suppress dust, reducing the movement of dust forward and forming the first layer of dust blocking, which greatly reduces the dust concentration. The dust that cannot be blocked moves forward, and then the dust curtain 17 forms the second layer of dust blocking. Due to the impact of coal release, the dust curtain 17 will move, and the dust curtain 17 cannot achieve absolute sealing, that is, the dust blocking amount 17 cannot completely block the dust, but only a small amount of dust continues to move forward through the dust blocking amount 17. The second nozzle 15 sprays backward to suppress dust and block the dust from moving forward, thereby preventing the dust from entering below the top beam 2 where the workers are working. This achieves the goal of controlling the dust near the coal release port, so that the dust no longer enters the workers' activity area. There is no need to install nozzles on the top beam and the side plate, which can save water and improve the workers' working environment. Finally, coal discharge is stopped, and the tail beam 4 is extended beyond the shield beam 3 to block the gangue 18 outside the hydraulic support for top coal discharge. During the coal discharge process, the first fiber optic dust concentration sensor and the second fiber optic dust concentration sensor respectively collect the dust concentration at their respective locations. When the dust concentration does not exceed 5 mg / m³, 3At that time, the valve opening was 50%, and the nozzle water pressure was 1.6 MPa; the dust concentration was equal to or greater than 10 mg / m³. 3 At that time, the valve opening was 80%, and the nozzle water pressure was 3.1 MPa; the dust concentration was 5~10 mg / m³. 3 Between these times, for every 1 mg / m³ increase in dust concentration 3 The valve opening increases in increments of 6%, and the corresponding nozzle water pressure increases in increments of 0.3 MPa.
