The invention provides escape channels from collapse or underwater areas. An escape channel is mounted in a main tunnel, and oxygen-feeding pipes, energy-feeding pipes and a lighting system are mounted in the escape channel; escape channels are mounted in the branch tunnels leading to the working face of each mining area, and the oxygen-feeding pipes, the energy-feeding pipes and the lighting system are mounted in each escape channel; the escape channels in the main tunnel are connected and communicated with the escape channels in the branch tunnels, and the oxygen-feeding pipes and the energy-feeding pipes in the escape channel in the main tunnel are respectively communicated and connected with the oxygen-feeding pipes and the energy-feeding pipes in the escape channels in the branch tunnels; an auxiliary escape channel is mounted in the escape channel of each branch tunnel, and the oxygen-feeding pipe and the energy-feeding pipe are further mounted in the auxiliary escape channel; and a second valve of an isolated cabin is further mounted in the auxiliary escape channel, and a first valve and a third valve of the isolated cabin are mounted in the escape channels of the branch tunnels. The escape channels of the invention have the advantages of independent system, simple structure and easy implementation and are capable of providing the trapped with energy need to stay alive at any time and helping the trapped to escape smoothly, thus being the significant safety facilities in the mining areas.
