Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of underground coal gasification, specifically to an igniter for underground coal gasification. Background Technology

[0002] Underground coal gasification involves burning and gasifying underground coal into coal gas within the coal seam, which is then transported to the surface for use as an energy source or chemical feedstock. It is particularly suitable for coal seams that are unminable or uneconomical to mine using conventional methods, as well as for secondary or multiple mining operations in coal mines. The product gas can be processed and transported through pipelines, or it can be used directly for power generation or chemical synthesis. Therefore, underground coal gasification technology offers significant economic and environmental benefits, greatly improving the utilization rate and level of coal resources. It is an important research and development direction for clean coal technology in various countries. Therefore, an igniter is required when using underground coal gasification.

[0003] Existing coal underground gasification igniters still have some shortcomings in use. Due to the certain depth of the borehole and the relatively damp bottom of the borehole, the risk of combustibles extinguishing during combustion is relatively high, which makes it impossible to ignite the coal seam and reduces the ignition success rate.

[0004] To solve the above problems, one can refer to the prior art (Chinese patent application number CN201320821149.7, publication date 2014-05-28) which discloses a coal underground gasification ignition device. Before ignition, the moisture at the bottom of the borehole can be discharged by high-pressure air, and a dry environment is formed at the bottom of the borehole, which reduces the risk of the combustible material going out during combustion and improves the ignition success rate.

[0005] Although the above-mentioned device can solve the existing problems, it still has certain shortcomings in use. During the ignition process, it is necessary to ensure sufficient oxygen. However, the existing igniter is located inside the borehole, and the oxygen level at its bottom is relatively low, which leads to certain shortcomings in the ignition process.

[0006] Therefore, we proposed that an igniter for underground coal gasification can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an igniter for underground coal gasification, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that current igniters on the market need to ensure sufficient oxygen during the ignition process, but existing igniters are set inside the borehole, and the oxygen content at the bottom is relatively low, resulting in relatively low ignition efficiency.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an igniter for underground coal gasification, comprising a horizontal cylinder, a support column fixed at the bottom edge of the outer side of the horizontal cylinder, the bottom of the support column being in contact with the horizontal ground, and an oxygen inhalation box being connected to the left side of the horizontal cylinder.

[0009] The oxygen box is also provided with several sets of through holes on the outside. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the rear side of the horizontal cylinder. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the outside of the oxygen inhalation mechanism. One end of the oxygen inhalation mechanism is connected to the igniter body through the air inlet pipe. The bottom of the igniter body extends into the drilled hole.

[0010] An injection mechanism is also provided at the top of the horizontal cylinder, and the vertical tube included in the injection mechanism is embedded at the outer end of the fuel tank.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the oxygen inhalation mechanism includes an end of a crankshaft fixedly connected to the output end of a drive motor, the other end of the crankshaft being rotatably disposed inside the horizontal cylinder, the protruding outer side of the crankshaft being rotatably connected to the end of a connecting rod, the other outer side of the connecting rod being connected to the outer side of a movable shaft, one side of the movable shaft being fixed to the edge of a moving disk, a piston rod being fixed to the side of the moving disk away from the movable shaft, the outer side of the piston rod being slidably disposed inside the inhalation pipe, the outer sides of both ends of the inhalation pipe being fixed to the inner side of a partition, the outer edge of the partition being fixed to the inner wall of the oxygen inhalation chamber, the end of the inhalation pipe near the through hole being connected to an inlet pipe via a five-way valve, and the bottom end of the inlet pipe extending out of the bottom of the horizontal cylinder and connected to the top of the igniter body.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a one-way air inlet valve is also installed on the side of the air inlet pipe near the through hole, and a one-way air outlet valve is provided at the end of the air inlet pipe connected to the five-way valve.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, one end of the piston rod is attached to the inner side of the suction pipe, and the piston rod forms a back-and-forth moving structure with the inner wall of the suction pipe through the moving disk.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This igniter for underground coal gasification is equipped with an oxygen intake mechanism. This mechanism allows gas to be absorbed through a through-hole on one side of the oxygen tank and transported to the output end of the igniter body via an inlet pipe.

This ensures stable gas delivery through the intake pipe and delivers the gas to the output end of the igniter body, resulting in more efficient ignition.

[0018] Furthermore, an air intake pipe is provided, with a one-way air intake valve at the end of the air intake pipe and a one-way air outlet valve at the connection point of the air intake pipe through the five-way valve, which can effectively and continuously deliver gas.

[0019] Furthermore, multiple sets of piston rods and suction pipes are installed, which enable efficient gas delivery and processing.

[0020] 2. A fuel tank is installed, and the combustible liquid in the fuel tank is transported by a pump, so that the combustible liquid is injected stably through the feed pipe, the vertical pipe and the nozzle.

[0021] Furthermore, a vertical pipe is installed, which is arranged in a ring shape and is separated from the air intake pipe, allowing for independent conveying and processing. Attached Figure Description
