Abstract:

In view of the ″blind spot″ of underground automatic dust prevention and the low intelligence of the mine sprinklers, a variable spraying system of intelligent mine sprinklers was developed. Firstly, the spraying model was established by using SolidWorks software and ANSYS Fluent simulation software. Secondly, the influence of wind velocity on the spraying range of the sprinkler under different working conditions was analyzed. Finally, the spraying range of the sprinkler under four wind velocity conditions of 0.9, 3.45, 4.4 m/s, and 6.7 m/s was simulated and verified. The results show that when the nozzle diameter is constant, the output of water mist particles of the nozzle is affected by the water velocity of the nozzle, and with the increase in water flow, the output of dust particles increases, and the spraying amount of the spraying system increases. At the same water velocity, with the increase in wind velocity, the fog droplet particles are affected by the wind, and the captured particles falling to the ground decrease, or in other words, the spraying range decreases. Therefore, when the dust reduction area is fixed, with the strengthening of the environmental wind field, the water flow should be appropriately increased to improve the spraying uniformity and effective dust reduction effect.

Key words: Fluent, mine sprinkler, spraying system, simulation, dust reduction
