DESCRIPTION: Coal Mine Detection Robot mainly detects mash gas and carbon monoxide. The mash gas is the generic terms of the mixed gas which mainly make up of methane (CH4) in the underground of the coal mine shaft, and sometimes it abbreviate to methane. It is a kind of gas that formed during the process of coal-forming and stored in a large number among the coal bed, and the most damaging gas in the underground of the coal mine shaft. The detection methods of
mash gas in the underground of coal mine shaft mainly have optical interference way, thermal conductivity way, semiconductor air-sensitive way, electrochemistry way, isotopic carrier catalytic combustion way, infra-red spectrum absorption way. The detection methods of carbon monoxide gas in the underground of coalmine shaft mainly have solid state sensor, electrochemistry sensor , isotopic carrier catalytic combustion way, infra-red spectrum way. The principle of carbon monoxide gas detection is just like the principle of the last four ways of mash gas detection. Optical interference way is using spectral inter ferro metric principle to detect gas. Thermal conductivity way is using thermal conductivity gas- Sensing material for the thermal conductivity of gas and air, and realizes the difference of gas detection.
Semiconductor air-sensitive way is using some metal oxide in heating conditions (600 degrees Celsius) the thin-film resistors with the concentration of gas detection contact and the Characteristics of the gas detection. Electrochemistry way is using the diaphragm spreading the sorbent electrolyte measured by electrolysis gas. Carrier catalytic combustion type of detector is using sensitive elements of gas, gas in catalytic effect on surface, without flame combustion heat release, concentration of gas detection.
