Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air boosting technology in underground coal mines, and in particular to a high-pressure, high-flow boosting device for use in underground coal mines. Background Technology

[0002] In the mining of extra-thick coal seams, to achieve a pressure-driven, uniform de-hazard-clearing process, it is urgently necessary to apply intelligent energy-enhancing and flow-promoting equipment with high flow rate and high pressure characteristics underground in coal mines. Specifically, the equipment outlet pressure should reach 3MPa and the volumetric flow rate should reach 1500m³. 3 / h.

[0003] The development of such equipment requires initial screening of suitable models. In the industrial sector, commonly used positive displacement compressors for gas boosting and compression mainly include reciprocating piston compressors and rotary screw compressors. Among them, reciprocating piston compressors have a wide pressure range (up to 350MPa) and a wide flow range (up to 500m³ / h). 3 While it boasts high energy efficiency, according to the "Notice of the State Administration of Work Safety on Issuing the Catalogue of Outdated Safety Technologies, Processes and Equipment (2016)" (Anjian Zongkeji

[2016] No. 137) issued by the State Administration of Work Safety in 2016 and the "Notice of the State Administration of Mine Safety on Issuing the Catalogue of Advanced and Applicable Technologies and Equipment for Mine Safety Promotion and the Catalogue of Outdated Processes and Equipment Elimination in 2024" issued by the State Administration of Mine Safety in June 2024, reciprocating piston compressors have been explicitly prohibited from use in the mining sector. Therefore, this model has been excluded.

[0004] Based on the above, due to industry regulations, existing single screw air compressors cannot meet the requirements of 1500m. 3 The required flow rate is / h, necessitating the connection of a flow booster to increase the overall flow rate. However, existing flow boosters are excessively large, especially in underground coal mine environments where their integrated frame structure makes transportation extremely difficult, severely restricting their deployment and application underground. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A high-pressure, high-flow-rate booster for use in underground coal mines includes a first frame 110, a second frame 120, an air compressor main unit 20, a gas-liquid separator 30, and a cooler 40. The cooler 40 integrates air cooling channels and liquid cooling channels. The first frame 110 and the second frame 120 are detachably connected. The air compressor main unit 20 is mounted on the first frame 110. The cooler 40 is mounted on the second frame 120. The gas-liquid separator 30 is mounted on the first frame 110. On frame 110 or second frame 120; the output end of the air compressor main unit 20 is connected to the input end of the gas-liquid separator 30 via a first pipe 710; the air output end of the gas-liquid separator 30 is connected to the input end of the air cooling channel via a second pipe 720; the liquid output end of the gas-liquid separator 30 is connected to the input end of the liquid cooling channel via a third pipe 730; the output end of the liquid cooling channel is connected to the oil inlet of the air compressor main unit 20 via a fourth pipe 740.

[0035] The transportation and installation principle of this high-pressure, high-flow-rate booster equipment used in underground coal mines is based on its detachable frame structure and pre-installation design. The specific process is as follows:

[0036] During the factory delivery phase, the manufacturer pre-installs the air compressor main unit 20 and the gas-liquid separator 30 on the first frame 110 according to the equipment's structural layout, and pre-installs the cooler 40 on the second frame 120, completing the integrated assembly of each component with its corresponding frame. This pre-installation method allows most of the assembly work to be completed before delivery, reducing the installation steps on-site in the mine.

[0037] In the transportation process, since the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 are detachably connected, they can be separated and transported separately. The two separated frames are smaller in size, which can adapt to the narrow and complex transportation channels in coal mines, effectively solving the problem of transportation difficulties of traditional integrated frame structures and reducing the risk of equipment damage due to space constraints during transportation.

[0038] Upon arrival at the installation site, the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 are moved to their preset installation positions and securely connected as a single unit using a detachable connection structure. Then, following the preset piping connections, the output end of the air compressor 20 is connected to the input end of the gas-liquid separator 30 via the first pipe 710; the air output end of the gas-liquid separator 30 is connected to the air cooling channel input end of the cooler 40 via the second pipe 720; the liquid output end of the gas-liquid separator 30 is connected to the liquid cooling channel input end of the cooler 40 via the third pipe 730; and the liquid cooling channel output end is connected to the oil inlet of the air compressor 20 via the fourth pipe 740. This completes the installation and commissioning of the entire equipment, allowing for rapid deployment.

[0039] This invention also includes a pre-filter 50, the input end of which is connected to a gas supply device, and the pre-filter 50 is connected to the air inlet of the air compressor main unit 20. The input end of the pre-filter 50 is connected to the gas supply device, and the output end is connected to the air inlet of the air compressor main unit 20, forming the first purification barrier before the gas enters the air compressor main unit 20.

[0040] Furthermore, the pre-filter 50 is fixedly mounted on the second frame 120. The gas-liquid separator 30 is mounted on the first frame 110. From a spatial layout perspective, this separate arrangement can fully utilize the load-bearing space of the two frames, avoiding the space congestion problem caused by excessive concentration of components on the same frame. The air compressor main unit 20 and the gas-liquid separator 30 on the first frame 110 are arranged close to each other, which can shorten the length of the first pipeline 710 between them, reduce the pressure loss of gas during transmission, and improve the gas transmission efficiency; while the pre-filter 50 and the cooler 40 are installed together on the second frame 120, which can also make the spatial distribution of gas pretreatment and cooling stages more reasonable, and facilitate the compact design of the overall structure.

[0041] In terms of transportation and installation, since the pre-filter 50 and the gas-liquid separator 30 are pre-assembled components of different frames, the weight and volume of the two frames can be balanced during disassembly and transportation, avoiding increased transportation difficulties due to excessive load or size of a single frame. During installation, each component is pre-assembled with its corresponding frame, requiring only the connection of the frame and key pipelines, further simplifying the installation process on-site and improving installation convenience.

[0042] Furthermore, both the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 are equipped with gantry frames 60.

[0043] From a lifting perspective, the gantry 60 can serve as a dedicated lifting structure, facilitating the lifting and transport of the two frames separately using lifting equipment during equipment transportation and underground movement. This design solves the stress point problem during the handling of the frames and pre-installed components, making lifting operations more stable and safer, and significantly reducing the difficulty and risk of manual handling. It is particularly suitable for the equipment relocation needs in the complex environment of underground coal mines.

[0044] In terms of structural strength, the gantry 60 effectively enhances the overall rigidity of the corresponding frame. Since the air compressor main unit 20, gas-liquid separator 30, cooler 40 and other components are installed on the frame, they need to bear a certain weight. The presence of the gantry can distribute the load on the frame, reduce the deformation of the frame caused by vibration and uneven stress during equipment operation or transportation, ensure the stability of the installation position of each component, and thus maintain the sealing of pipeline connections and reduce the failure rate.

[0045] Furthermore, once the equipment is installed underground and the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 are connected as a whole, connecting a reinforcing rod between the two gantry frames according to actual needs can further enhance the connection strength and overall stability of the two frames. The reinforcing rod connects the two gantry frames into a single load-bearing unit, improving the equipment's ability to resist external impacts and its own vibrations during operation, preventing loosening of the frame connections after long-term use, and providing structural protection for the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0046] Furthermore, an oil filter is installed on the fourth pipeline 740. From the perspective of oil purification, during the circulation process, the oil may be mixed with impurities such as metal shavings generated by equipment wear, sealant residue, and dust from the outside. The oil filter can filter the oil flowing from the liquid cooling channel output end to the oil inlet of the air compressor main unit 20, effectively intercepting these impurities and preventing them from entering the air compressor main unit.

[0047] Furthermore, a check valve is installed on the first pipeline 710. From the perspective of media flow control, the check valve only allows the media to flow unidirectionally from the output end of the air compressor main unit 20 to the input end of the gas-liquid separator 30, which can effectively prevent the media in the gas-liquid separator from flowing back due to pressure fluctuations or other reasons. This anti-backflow function can prevent the media that has entered the gas-liquid separator from flowing back to the air compressor main unit, prevent the impact caused by the backflow of the media inside the main unit, and reduce unnecessary energy loss.

[0048] Furthermore, the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 are connected by a plurality of fasteners. Bolts and nuts can be used as fasteners. A plurality of corresponding flanges are provided on the first frame 110 and the second frame 120, and the bolts pass through the flange holes and are then locked with nuts. Of course, other existing fasteners can also be used to connect the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 according to this invention.

[0049] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
