Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved airflow regulator particularly to a louver type airflow regulator such as might be used in mining shafts, tunnels, raises, roadways and the like, hereinafter referred to as mine passages, to control or regulate airflow therethrough
  • Underground mines typically have a number of raises that act as a conduit for fresh air, with raises often formed on an air intake side of an ore body and on air return or opposite side of the ore body. Airflow at various levels in the mine or, in the case of metalliferous mines, individual mining areas called stopes, is then controlled by airflow regulators arranged, inter alia, at the entrances or exits of these raises.
  • airflow regulators used in mines are referred to as drop-board regulators and have been in use for some time.
  • Drop-board regulators typically comprise a steel H section frame fabricated in compartments of a convenient size. Into each compartment, hardwood boards are dropped down between the flanges of the H section.
  • the aperture of the regulator can be adjusted in area thereby altering the quantity of the airflow that is allowed into a given section of a mine.
  • drop-board regulators require manual adjustment.
  • a miner has to physically remove all the boards from the regulator. This is a heavy, arduous, and time consuming task which wastes man hours and reduces mine efficiencies.
  • WO2006/108228 discloses an improved louver type airflow regulator in which airflow is controlled by adjusting the degree to which the louver blades are open and which are free to swing into a fully open position during blasting or stope firing but return to the original positions after such a firing by means of a weight, gas strut or a spring.
  • the present invention relates to improvements in the airflow regulators disclosed in WO2006/108228.
  • an airflow regulator for a mine passage comprising:
  • louver blade pivotable to a predetermined position which in a range from a closed position in which the louver blade restricts at least a portion of the passage to an open position in which air is readily able to flow in the passage; and a linkage mechanism for pivoting the louver blade wherein the linkage mechanism includes a biasing strut mechanism which only activates to pivot the louver blade into the open position when a predetermined airflow is reached and biases the louver blade to its predetermined position after the airflow has reduced to less than the predetermined airflow.
  • the biasing strut mechanism forms part of the linkage mechanism when not activated and is generally movable with the linkage mechanism when not activated and so it allows the louver blades to be moved between open and closed positions without a substantial input of force being required.
  • the present invention is a significant improvement on the prior art, as it means that the degree of ventilation may be easily changed without too great a force having to be exerted on the linkage mechanism.
  • This arrangement is particularly advantageous as it allows for the air flow regulator to be easily automated, e.g. by provision of a powered actuator to move the strut mechanism.
  • the invention provides an air flow regulator that has the same strength as those of the prior art, but is reduced in weight and more flexible in its operation. Owing to the weight reduction, air flow regulators made to the present invention are easier to transport and install.
  • the regulator may comprise a plurality of louver blades.
  • the regulator may be an intake regulator and may comprise a plurality of louver blades which overlap in the closed position to close or restrict at least a portion of the passage.
  • the regulator may be an exhaust regulator and may comprise a plurality of louver blades which do not overlap in the closed position.
  • the regulator may comprise a frame in which the louver blade is mounted.
  • the louver blade may be mounted in a frame such that it may pivot therein around a lengthwise axis.
  • the biasing strut mechanism may be a constant force biasing strut mechanism which only activates when a predetermined constant force has been reached, e.g. from the air-flow creating a force on the louver blade that is connected to the strut mechanism via the linkage mechanism.
  • the biasing strut mechanism may activate by becoming compressible.
  • the predetermined constant force may be chosen to have a value in a range from the maximum amount of force required to move the louver blades and the force generated by the predetermined airflow. A person of skill in the art would easily be able to determine a suitable force at which the biasing strut mechanism would activate.
  • the predetermined airflow may be an airflow or pressure change from a deliberate or accidental explosion in a mine, for example from blasting or stope firing.
  • the biasing strut mechanism may comprise a fluid strut, for example a gas strut.
  • the biasing strut mechanism may have a cylinder, a piston and a piston rod.
  • the biasing strut mechanism may comprise a spring.
  • the strut mechanism is only activated when force in excess of 4000 Newton is applied to it, however the force can be varied to suit the required airflow regulator design.
  • the linkage mechanism may include a linkage bar that is operatively coupled to a louver blade via a linkage arm.
  • a linkage arm may be fixed to a louver blade and the other end of which is pivotally mounted to the linkage bar to urge the louver blades to the predetermined position.
  • the linkage bar may be vertically oriented.
  • the linkage mechanism has a selectively variable length wherein the regulator is arranged so that the louver blade is in a closed position when the linkage mechanism has a maximum length and the louver blade is in an open position when the linkage mechanism has a minimum length.
  • the linkage mechanism has a position control mechanism to selectively vary the length of the linkage mechanism.
  • the position control mechanism may be manually operated.
  • it may comprise an externally threaded rod located above a hollow strut and a handle and threaded sleeve, arranged such that by turning the handle the threaded rod may be raised or lowered into the hollow strut.
  • the position control mechanism may be automated, for example it might be in the form of a powered actuator operated by compressed air, electrically or hydraulically.
  • the actuator may also comprise a manually operated position control mechanism.
  • the linkage mechanism may have a minimum length by activation of the biasing strut mechanism or by operation of the position control mechanism.
  • the powered actuator may be remotely operated.
  • Use of remote operation is particularly useful if the airflow regulator is positioned in a location that is difficult to reach or unsafe to reach due to contaminated air.
  • remote operation can dramatically increase the speed at which the degree of ventilation may be altered. This leads to improved safety and efficiency.
  • the biasing strut mechanism is provided between the linkage bar and the position control mechanism.
  • one end of the biasing strut mechanism typically the cylinder end, may be mounted to the linkage bar by a bracket or the like fixed to the linkage bar such that movement of the linkage bar moves that end of the biasing strut mechanism.
  • the cylinder end may be pivotally mounted to the linkage bar.
  • the piston rod may be mounted to the position control mechanism.
  • the present invention provides a louver type airflow regulator which allows for continuous positional adjustment of the blades and uses a preferably constant force strut mechanism for return movement of the louvers which is relatively uncompressed at rest.
  • louver type airflow regulator for a mine passage comprising:
  • louver blades mounted in a frame and pivoting therein around a lengthwise axis between a predetermined position in which the louver blades combine to close or restrict at least a portion of the passage
  • the louver blades are arranged to open or open further, unless already fully open, and including a return mechanism to cause the blades to return to their predetermined position after the airflow has reduced to less than the predetermined airflow, and
  • the return mechanism includes a biasing means in the form of a strut mechanism that is operatively connected to a linkage mechanism that acts on one or more of the louver blades to urge them into the predetermined position and wherein the return mechanism is such that the strut mechanism is not activated except when the blades open after the predetermined airflow is reached.
  • the strut mechanism is a gas strut comprising a cylinder, piston and piston rod.
  • the gas strut is preferably a constant force strut mechanism which only moves/is activated when force in excess of 4000 Newtons is applied to it or some other predetermined force.
  • the return mechanism may includes a vertically oriented linkage bar that is coupled to each louver blade via a linkage arm one end of which is fixed to the louver blades and the other end of which is pivotally mounted to the linkage bar.
  • one end of the gas strut typically the cylinder end is pivotally mounted to the linkage bar by a bracket or the like fixed to the bar 25 such that movement of the bar moves that end of the strut.
  • a free end of the piston rod is preferably mounted to means for raising and lowering that end that hence the linkage bar.
  • the means is an externally threaded rod located above a hollow strut and a handle and threaded sleeve, turning the handle raising and lowering the threaded rod.
  • predetermined airflow can include within its scope 5 predetermined air pressure, and typically, though not exclusively relates to an increase in airflow/pressure due to blasting/stope firing.
  • Airflow will typically act on the blades due to air currents which may flow in either direction through the regulator. However these flows of normal ventilation air will not typically be of sufficient force to cause the louver blades to move.

It would also be possible to use a non lapped arrangement for an exhaust louver regulator.
  • An adjustment and biasing mechanism 90 for acting on each louver blade 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 is provided.
  • the adjustment and biasing mechanism 90 includes a vertical linkage bar 30 that is coupled to each louver blade 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 via linkage arms in the form of double brackets 32 , one end of which is fixed (welded) to the louver blades 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 and the other end of which is mounted by a respective coupling pivot 34 to the linkage bar 30 .

  • a position control mechanism 58 which includes a handle 60 in the form of cruciform intersecting levers, or a wheel, is fixed to an internally threaded sleeve 62 located above a hollow strut 64 .

Adjustment is also continuous between the fully open and closed positions by simple rotation of the handle/levers 60 , to set the louver blades 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 to allow the required amount of ventilation.
  • the gas strut 50 only becomes compressed during greatly increased air flow 100 such as would occur during blasting or stope firing when the position of the threaded rod 59 remains fixed and the louver blades 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 rotate in an anti-clockwise or upward direction “A”, pushing the piston rod 54 into the cylinder 52 and compressing the gas strut 50 .
  • Such action provides a bias to return the louver blades 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 to their set position after the greatly increased air flow 100 has subsided after firing.
