[0001] This application belongs to the field of mine ventilation technology, specifically relating to an air volume regulating device and method for mine roadways. Background Technology
[0002] In some mines, ventilation tunnels are often sealed using materials such as slabs, bricks, and concrete. However, during exploration or goaf detection operations, these sealed areas need to be reopened, increasing production costs and wasting time, labor, and manpower. Furthermore, during the operation of the mine ventilation system, the air volume required in different areas varies with underground production activities. To ensure efficient airflow to the working area, ventilation structures such as air doors and windows are needed to regulate air volume and direction. However, traditional air doors or windows have limited air volume regulation capabilities and cannot achieve on-demand ventilation in their controlled areas.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the sensor module further includes a second differential pressure sensor for measuring the total differential pressure in the roadway. The second differential pressure sensor transmits the collected data to the main control unit via a wireless transmission module.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the sensor module includes a pressure sensor mounted on the airbag or an air supply pipe communicating with the airbag, for detecting the air pressure inside the airbag module.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solution of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0037] This application relates to a ventilation structure and its usage method developed for temporary enclosed passageways or areas requiring airflow variation. Specific embodiments according to this application will be described below with reference to Figure 1.
[0038] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, this application provides an air volume regulating device for mine roadways, including: an airbag module, an inflation module, and a fixing module.
[0039] The airbag module is composed of multiple airbags spliced together;
[0040] The airbag is coated with an organosilicon coating; the coating is used to improve its heat resistance and airtightness.
[0041] The shape and size of the airbag module can also be customized and modified according to the actual dimensions of the tunnel.
[0042] In some embodiments, the airbag may be a rectangular airbag;
[0043] Rectangular airbags are used because the volume change during inflation and deflation may be greater compared to materials such as round airbag rods, making them more suitable for opening and closing doors.
[0044] In some embodiments, the airbag may be a rubber airbag;
[0045] The airbag is fireproof, high-strength, corrosion-resistant, and has a flexible and controllable size. The entire device is flexible and can be adjusted for ventilation or closure by means of the airbag.
[0046] Compared to materials like polyurethane, rubber airbags are less expensive and offer better elasticity, flexibility, wear resistance, and sealing properties. Alternatively, airbags can be made by combining TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, also known as thermoplastic polyurethane rubber) with rubber. The outer layer of the airbag is made of TPU, providing heat resistance, high strength, and wear resistance, while the inner layer is made of rubber for better airtightness. Alternatively, modified polyamide 66, the material used in airbags for new energy vehicles, can also be used.
[0047] In some embodiments, a connecting strip is provided between each airbag, with a small hole in the middle, so that the inflation module can inflate each airbag.
[0048] In some embodiments, the connecting strip is made of rubber, which facilitates the deformation of the airbag and has good properties such as high temperature resistance, wear resistance, aging resistance, and airtightness, and is also low in cost.
[0049] The inflation module includes an air pump for inflation, an air supply valve, and a deflation valve. The air pump can also compress and deliver air, and the air supply valve can inflate the airbag. The deflation valve can automatically release the gas from the airbag.
[0050] The fixing module includes a first column, a second column, an upper guide rail, a lower guide rail, and guide wheels. The first column, upper guide rail, and lower guide rail are respectively installed on the left side, top, and bottom of the mine roadway. The left and right sides of the airbag module are fixed to the first and second columns respectively, forming an air door; the upper and lower sides of the airbag module are fixed to the upper and lower guide rails respectively; the upper and lower ends of the first column are fixed to the left sides of the upper and lower guide rails respectively; the upper and lower ends of the second column are equipped with guide wheels, which are paired with the guide rails and can roll on the pre-installed guide rails.
[0051] The airbag module is fixed between two columns and has a certain degree of flexibility. It can reach the rightmost end of the guide rail under the traction of the second column to achieve the closure of the tunnel.
[0052] In some embodiments, the right side surface of the first column is coated with an adhesive material, which can bond and fix the uninflated airbag module to it.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first column has two holes of suitable size, allowing the air supply valve and the air release valve of the airbag to pass through the first column.
[0054] In some embodiments, the upper and lower guide rails are provided with grooves on their left sides, and the upper and lower ends of the first column are respectively inserted into the grooves on the left sides of the upper and lower guide rails to achieve fixed and detachable installation.
[0055] In some embodiments, a first electromagnetic lock is installed on the second column, and a first adsorption plate paired with the first electromagnetic lock is installed on the right side of the airbag module; the first electromagnetic lock attracts the first adsorption plate to help fix the airbag to the second column.
[0056] In some embodiments, the first adsorption plate is a rectangular steel sheet. The shape and material of the first adsorption plate can be adjusted according to the actual use of the first electromagnetic lock. It can be other shapes and materials, as long as it can be paired with the first electromagnetic lock and assist the airbag in being fixed to the second column under the attraction of the first electromagnetic lock.
[0057] In some embodiments, the first and second columns may be made of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy or glass fiber composite material, which is lightweight, easy to disassemble and transport, and has high strength.
[0058] In some embodiments, the first column includes two support sections, which can be bolted together to form the first column. When the airbag module needs to be replaced or the device needs to be removed, the first column can be separated into two sections for disassembly of the device. This structure facilitates assembly and disassembly.
[0059] In some embodiments, the rightmost ends of the upper and lower guide rails are respectively equipped with second electromagnetic locks for locking with the second column, thereby achieving the closure of the entire tunnel.
[0060] To accommodate ventilation adjustments, the airbag module has three states: fully inflated (e.g., the airbag module's pressure is at its maximum withstand pressure), completely sealing the roadway; partially inflated (e.g., the airbag module's pressure is half of its maximum withstand pressure), creating gap ventilation (opening degree 20%-80%, e.g., 50%); and low-pressure state, where the airbag module shrinks to its minimum volume, and the device's opening degree reaches over 80%.
[0061] Based on the actual air pressure conditions in the tunnel, the air pressure range within the airbag module under different states and the corresponding inflation / deflation parameters (such as inflation / deflation duration) for switching between different states are predetermined. During state switching, the state switching process can be precisely controlled based on the air pressure range within the airbag module under the three states and the corresponding inflation / deflation parameters for switching between different states.
[0062] In some embodiments, the inflation module further includes an inflation valve (such as a gate valve or a full-bore ball valve) disposed on the inflation pipeline of the air pump. The inflation valve can supply air when fully open. Since the device is frequently inflated and deflated, the pressure requirements for the inflation valve are high, resulting in significant wear. The presence of an inflation valve provides redundancy, enhancing safety and long-term reliability.
[0063] In some embodiments, the gas supply valve, the vent valve, and the gas pipeline valve are all solenoid valves for remote control.
[0064] In some embodiments, the gas pipeline valve may be a gate valve or a full-bore ball valve. Gate valves or full-bore ball valves have low gas delivery resistance and low pressure loss, which can reduce energy loss. Full-bore ball valves are preferred because they have no necking effect, smooth flow lines, and better performance in terms of pressure loss.
[0065] In some embodiments, the device further includes a sensor module and a central control module;
[0066] The fixing module, inflation module, sensor module, and main control module are communicatively connected. The main control module is used to receive data collected by the sensor module, control the inflation module to inflate and deflate the airbag model, and control the movement of the guide wheels of the fixing module.
[0067] The main control module includes a main control unit and a wireless communication module. The main control unit is wirelessly connected to the fixing module, the inflation module, the sensor module and the main control module through the wireless communication module.
[0068] The sensor module includes a first differential pressure sensor for measuring the pressure difference before and after the damper and a wind speed sensor for measuring the wind speed in the roadway. The first differential pressure sensor and the wind speed sensor transmit the collected data to the main control unit through a wireless transmission module.
[0069] In one possible implementation, the sensor module further includes a second differential pressure sensor for measuring the total differential pressure in the roadway. The second differential pressure sensor transmits the collected data to the main control unit via a wireless transmission module.
[0070] In some embodiments, the first differential pressure sensor and the wind speed sensor may be integrated sensors.
[0071] In some embodiments, the sensor module further includes a pressure sensor, which is installed on the airbag module and can detect changes in air pressure inside the airbag module at all times, and transmit the collected data to the main control unit via a wireless transmission module.
[0072] The main control module also includes an input / output module, which inputs control information.
[0073] The input / output module includes a display, which is connected to the main control unit and is used to display the status parameters collected by the sensor module, such as the inflation status parameters returned by the air pressure sensor.
[0074] The input / output module includes a first switch (such as a push-button switch) for switching between ventilation mode and non-ventilation mode.
[0075] In non-ventilated mode, the airbag module is fully inflated, the second column is locked at the rightmost end of the guide rail, the air door is closed, and the tunnel is completely sealed.
[0076] The ventilation modes include semi-ventilation mode and full ventilation mode.
[0077] In semi-ventilation mode, the airbag module is in a semi-inflated state, the second column moves to the midpoint of the guide rail, and the air damper is half-open. In full ventilation mode, the airbag module is in a low-pressure state, the second column retracts to its initial position, and the air damper is fully open. In addition, the main control unit has a remote control switch to control the air supply valve, air release valve, and air pump, thereby enabling remote control of the inflation operation.
[0078] The guide wheels on the second column can be rotated forward and backward under the remote control of the main control unit, thereby driving the second column to move left and right within the guide rail.
[0079] The input / output module includes a second switch (such as a push-button switch). In non-ventilation mode, if temporary passage is required after the tunnel is closed, the air door can be opened using the second switch.
[0080] It should be understood that the second switch is connected to the main control unit and sends the switch signal to the main control unit. The main control switch sends the switch signal to the guide wheel through the wireless communication module to realize remote control switching.
[0081] The door opening time threshold T is set via the input / output module. In non-ventilation mode, if the distance sensor or air pressure sensor detects that the door is open, a timer is started. If the calculated continuous opening time of the door exceeds the time threshold T, the main control unit automatically remotely controls the guide wheel to move the second column to the rightmost end of the guide rail for locking, thus automatically closing the door. This prevents staff from temporarily opening the door and forgetting to close it, ensuring automatic closing after a certain time.
[0082] [Corrected according to Rule 91, 16.06.2025] As shown in Figure 4, this application embodiment also provides a method for adjusting the air volume in a mine roadway. Using the above-mentioned device, the guide wheel drives the second column to move left and right along the guide rail, thereby driving the air door to open or close, realizing the ventilation and closure of the roadway, and realizing the air volume adjustment of the mine roadway.
[0083] When the entire device is put into use, the staff first installs the guide rails at the corresponding positions in the tunnel. According to the actual dimensions, they select an appropriate number of airbags of different sizes and attach them to the fixed support pillars. The first pillar is fixedly installed on the upper and lower guide rails. Then, the airbag modules are fixed to the second pillar. At this point, the air pump can be controlled by the main control unit to inflate the airbags. The airbags are not completely filled, leaving appropriate space so that the airbags will not close the tunnel under extreme conditions.
[0084] During inflation, the inflation time can be determined by the data displayed on the screen, so as to control the inflation status of the airbag module.
[0085] When it is necessary to close the tunnel, switch the system to non-ventilated mode, wait for the air to be fully charged, and then use the main control unit to control the second column to move to the right, locking the second column to the rightmost end of the guide rail, thus closing the tunnel section. Closure is achieved through an electromagnetic lock, which reduces friction and wear.
[0086] When the tunnel needs to be opened for operation, the electromagnetic lock is unlocked and the second column is moved by the remote control guide wheel, thus leaving enough space for people to enter the tunnel. Since there is a pre-reserved redundant space, the airbag module is not fully inflated and does not need to be completely deflated before the second column and airbag module can return to the left side.
[0087] When ventilation adjustment is required, the device is switched to ventilation mode, and the desired wind speed is selected as the target wind speed. The main control unit calculates the corresponding target opening based on the target wind speed and determines the required air pressure of the airbag module as the target air pressure based on the target opening. The target opening corresponds to the target position of the second column on the guide rail. The air pressure sensor collects the air pressure of the airbag module in the current state and transmits it to the main control unit to control the air pump to start and inflate the airbag module through the air supply valve or deflate it through the air release valve until the air pressure reaches the target air pressure. At the same time, the guide wheel is controlled to move the second column to the target position. The wind speed sensor collects the real-time wind speed of the roadway after adjustment and calculates the real-time wind speed V of the roadway after adjustment. 实时 and the preset target wind speed V 目标 The percentage of error e = (V 实时 -V 目标 ) / V 目标 *100%. If the error percentage exceeds the set threshold, the opening of the damper will be fine-tuned until the target wind speed is reached.
[0088] In some embodiments, the main control unit calculates the target opening θ of the damper according to the following formula. 目标 :
[0089] In the formula, ΔP 总 The total differential pressure in the roadway (MPa) is typically provided by the ventilation fan and does not change frequently. However, in cases where the ventilation fan malfunctions or cannot provide data, this data can be obtained by installing second differential pressure sensors at the beginning and end of the roadway. R 巷道 The roadway friction resistance (Ns) 2 / m 8 V 目标 Let ζ represent the local drag coefficient of the damper, and A be the preset target wind speed. 总 Indicates the total ventilation area of the damper (m²) 2 A 总 ×θ 目标 Let the damper opening be θ 目标 The effective ventilation area of the damper (m²) 2 ); indicates air density, using actual downhole measurements (kg / m³). 3 ); R 巷道 and A 总 The value of ζ can be measured by field instruments. 闭合 This refers to the local frictional resistance coefficient of the damper when it is fully closed; ζ 闭合 ×(1-θ 目标 ) 2 Indicates that the damper opening is θ 目标 The local frictional resistance coefficient of the damper under the following conditions;
[0090] With the damper opening at a known angle θ0, the corresponding pressure difference ΔP across the damper is measured using the first differential pressure sensor. 门 Real-time wind speed V in the alley 实时 Then through the formula The corresponding local resistance coefficient ζ0 of the damper is obtained. ζ0 and θ0 are then used as the values of the local resistance coefficient ζ and the damper opening θ, respectively, and substituted into the empirical formula ζ = ζ 闭合 ×(1-θ) 2 ζ can be obtained 闭合 .
[0091] The guide wheel is equipped with a stepper motor, which can move precisely along the guide rail under the control of the main control unit to adjust the real-time opening θ of the damper; based on the calculated target opening θ of the damper... 目标 The wind speed is adjusted by regulating the real-time opening θ of the damper.
[0092] Adjust the real-time opening θ of the damper to the target opening θ. 目标Then, the real-time wind speed V in the roadway after adjustment was detected using a wind speed sensor. 实时 ; Calculate the real-time wind speed V in the roadway after adjustment 实时 and the preset target wind speed V 目标 The percentage of error e = (V 实时 -V 目标 ) / V 目标 *100%. If the error percentage exceeds the set threshold of 5%, the opening of the damper will be fine-tuned until the target wind speed is reached.
[0093] In some embodiments, the set threshold is 5%.
[0094] Wind speed changes are not linear. When the guide wheel moves, it may move too fast, causing it to bounce back and forth at the target wind speed position, always maintaining a certain difference from the target wind speed. This application first uses an empirical formula to calculate the opening corresponding to the target wind speed, estimating the damper opening corresponding to the target wind speed. After calculation, the guide wheel is controlled to move the second column to the position corresponding to that opening. If there is an error between the wind speed at that position and the target wind speed, the guide wheel can be moved left or right for fine adjustments to quickly reach the target wind speed.
[0095] In some embodiments, a scale is provided inside the guide rail, which can be used to measure the total length of the guide rail and can also serve as a basis for periodic manual inspection and maintenance. After long-term use, the device may experience movement or inaccurate measurement due to wear of the guide wheel, dust obstruction of the distance measuring laser sensor, etc. The scale inside the guide rail can facilitate observation of whether the actual distance moved by the guide wheel is consistent with the preset distance.
[0096] In some embodiments, the sensor module further includes distance sensors installed at the ends of the second column and the guide rail, respectively, for detecting the distance between the second column and the end of the guide rail, and obtaining the real-time opening θ of the damper by comparing the detected distance with the total length of the guide rail.
[0097] In the formula, θ represents the damper opening degree (%), and L 距 L represents the distance (m) between the second column and the end of the guide rail. Max This indicates the total length of the guide rail (m).
[0098] The real-time opening degree of the damper can be transmitted to the main control unit via a wireless transmission module, providing data for adjusting the wind speed.
[0099] In some embodiments, the ranging sensor may be an infrared ranging sensor or a laser ranging sensor.
[0100] In other implementations, when the device needs to be ventilated, the state is adjusted to ventilation mode, and the desired target opening degree is selected. The target opening degree corresponds to the target position of the second column on the guide rail. The main control unit determines the required air pressure of the airbag module as the target air pressure based on the target opening degree. The air pressure sensor collects the air pressure of the airbag module in the current state and transmits it to the main control unit to control the air pump to start and inflate the airbag module through the air supply valve or deflate it through the air release valve until the air pressure of the airbag module reaches the target air pressure. At the same time, the guide wheel is controlled to drive the second column to move to the target position.
[0101] In some embodiments, after selecting a target wind speed, it can be first determined whether the target wind speed meets the prescribed range. For example, the "Safety Regulations for Metal and Non-metal Mines" and the "Safety Regulations for Coal Mines" stipulate that the wind speed in underground transport roadways, mining area intake ventilation ducts, and other areas should not exceed 4 m / s to prevent dust and discomfort to personnel, while also needing to be greater than 0.25 m / s to prevent the accumulation of gases such as methane. Therefore, it is determined whether the target wind speed meets the prescribed range. If it does not meet the prescribed range, the staff is reminded to reset it, thereby preventing misoperation and ensuring safety.
[0102] In some embodiments, before making ventilation adjustments, it is first verified that the sensor can acquire complete data to ensure the integrity and reliability of the device.
