Abstract:

To effectively prevent and control coal mine underground belt conveyor fire accidents and ensure the safety of lives and property of coal mine workers, the fire causes, combustion characteristics, smoke flow characteristics, monitoring and early warning technologies, and prevention measures of mine belt conveyor fires were systematically analyzed. Then, further prospects were proposed based on the current research status. The results showed that the main causes of belt conveyor fire were friction temperature rise, electrical equipment failure, and open flame. There were some limitations for the tunnel fire model and corresponding numerical simulation parameters used to study the fire combustion and smoke flow characteristics of belt conveyors, the actual working conditions and environmental parameters of the transportation tunnel should be comprehensively considered. Although there were monitoring and early warning systems for belt conveyor fires in China, they had some limitations. It was necessary to introduce emerging technologies such as 5G, big data, and artificial intelligence, and combine them with hardware detection and personnel management to improve the coal mine belt conveyor fire prevention and control system, and then comprehensively promote the construction of safety and intelligent in coal mine.

Key words: belt conveyor fire, fire smoke flow characteristics, monitoring and early warning, fire causes, combustion characteristics, prevention and control measures
