Microwave pulse electric field vibration and cracking anti-reflection gas extraction promoting device and method

The invention provides a microwave pulse electric field vibration synergistic fracturing and permeability increasing gas extraction promoting device and method, and relates to the technical field of low-permeability coal seam fracturing and permeability increasing. According to the method, multi-physical field coupling synergistic interaction is achieved, and the fracturing efficiency and range are greatly improved. According to the invention, deep collaboration of multiple physical fields is realized through a specific time sequence and energy ratio. The thermal stress generated by microwave preheating enables a large number of microcracks to be generated in the coal body and soften the coal quality, and the resistivity and the medium strength of the coal body are reduced. In the state, the pulsed electric field with lower voltage can preferentially and effectively break down and expand the fracture network along the micro-fracture path; meanwhile, high-frequency mechanical vibration not only efficiently transmits energy to the tip of the fracture to generate stress concentration to promote extension of the fracture, but also disturbs coal particles to promote gas desorption. Through three-field cooperation, cracks can be more efficiently initiated, expanded and communicated in a three-dimensional space, a three-dimensional complex crack network far beyond the action range of a single technology is formed, and the overall permeability of a coal seam is remarkably improved.

Sand control non-magnetic hydraulic oscillator

This invention provides a sand-proof, non-magnetic hydraulic oscillator, relating to the technical field of hydraulic oscillators. The sand-proof, non-magnetic hydraulic oscillator includes an upper connector, one end of which is fitted with the oscillator body. A rotating impeller drives a rotating connecting shaft, which in turn drives a conveying auger. The conveying auger, in turn, drives a rotating scraper. The rotating scraper agitates the sand adhering to the surface of the sand-blocking filter, preventing a large amount of sand from accumulating on the filter surface. After agitating the sand into the liquid medium, the conveying auger's spiral pushing direction—from the sand-blocking filter towards the rotating impeller—causes the liquid medium containing a large amount of sand to move away from the filter, increasing the sand's fluidity and effectively preventing clogging of the filter. This then drives the motor, preventing the accumulation of sand and gravel impurities in the medium between the rotor and stator after drilling stops, thus solving the problems of difficulty in restarting and jamming during construction.
