The connecting post is screwed to the bottom of the air extraction tube, the slide tube is fixed to the bottom of the connecting post, the conical tube is fixed to the lower part of the slide tube, and the valve ball is located at the bottom of the conical tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the small end face of the tapered tube faces downward, the bottom of the tapered tube has an opening, and the diameter of the valve ball is larger than the diameter of the opening.

[0008] Furthermore, the joint mechanism includes a sliding pipe and a gas sampling pipe. The sliding pipe is slidably connected to the slide rail pipe, and the gas sampling pipe is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding pipe. The gas sampling pipe is screwed to the gas pipeline.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a coal seam gas sampling device includes: an extraction pipe 1 for extracting gas, with an outlet pipe 11 on the side wall of the extraction pipe 1; an inlet head 2 detachably attached to the bottom of the extraction pipe 1; a connector mechanism 3 slidably connected to the side wall of the inlet head 2; an extraction mechanism 4 slidably connected to the inner wall of the extraction pipe 1; an auxiliary mechanism 5 located at the bottom of the extraction mechanism 4, the auxiliary mechanism 5 including a suction fan 51; and a gas collecting bag 6 detachably connected to the outlet pipe 11.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the air inlet head 2 includes a connecting column 21, a slide tube 22, a conical tube 23, and a valve ball 24. The side wall of the connecting column 21 is provided with external threads. The connecting column 21 is screwed to the bottom of the suction pipe 1. The internal parts of the suction pipe 1 can be quickly disassembled and inspected by screwing. The diameter of the slide tube 31 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting column 21. The slide tube 22 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting column 21, and the conical tube 23 is fixed to the lower part of the slide tube 22. An air passage runs through the connecting column 21, the slide tube 22, and the conical tube 23. The collected gas enters the suction pipe 1 from the air passage. The valve ball 24 is located at the bottom of the conical tube 23.

[0027] The small end face of the conical tube 23 faces downward, and the bottom of the conical tube 23 is provided with an opening 231, which is the bottom of the air passage. The diameter of the valve ball 24 is larger than the diameter of the opening 231. When the device is in a vertical state, the valve ball 24 blocks the lower part of the conical tube 23 under the action of gravity, so that the gas below cannot enter the air passage, and the suction pipe 1 is in a closed state.

[0028] The connector mechanism 3 is used to connect the sampling port of the coal seam gas exhaust pipe. The connector mechanism 3 includes a sliding pipe 31 and a gas sampling pipe 32. The sliding pipe 31 is slidably connected to the slide pipe 22. The slide pipe 22 can extend and retract relative to the sliding pipe 31. The gas sampling pipe 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding pipe 31. The inner wall of the gas sampling pipe 32 is provided with internal threads. The gas sampling pipe 32 is screwed to the gas pipeline. The contact area between the gas sampling pipe 32 and the sampling port is increased by the screwing method, which reduces the amount of gas leakage.

[0029] The outer wall of the slide tube 22 is provided with a protruding slider 221, and the inner wall of the sliding tube 31 is provided with a groove 311. The slider 221 slides in the groove 311. The groove 311 restricts the movement direction of the slider 221, so that the slide tube 22 moves vertically on the sliding tube 31. The outer wall of the slide tube 22 is in contact with the inner wall of the sliding tube 31. Both the outer wall of the slide tube 22 and the inner wall of the sliding tube 31 are coated with rubber, thereby reducing the emission of gas and ensuring the purity of the gas collected.

[0030] A crossbar 321 is fixed to the inner wall of the gas sampling pipe 32, passing through the axis of the gas sampling pipe 32. A valve stem 322 is located in the middle of the crossbar 321. The diameter of the valve stem 322 is smaller than the diameter of the opening 231. The valve stem 322 is vertically upward and located below the valve ball 24. The valve stem 322 can push the valve ball 24. During sampling, pushing the air inlet head 2 downward causes the valve ball 24 to move upward, creating a gap between the valve ball 24 and the opening 231. The collected gas can then enter the extraction pipe 1 through this gap. After sampling, pulling the extraction pipe 1 upward causes the conical pipe 23 to move upward as well. At this point, the valve stem 322 disengages from the opening 231, and the valve ball 24 re-seals the opening 231 due to gravity. Sampling can be quickly started and stopped by sliding the extraction pipe 1 up and down, enhancing the convenience of sampling.

[0031] The suction mechanism 4 creates a negative pressure inside the suction pipe 1, facilitating the entry of collected methane gas into the suction pipe 1. The suction mechanism 4 includes a sealing plate 41 and a push-pull rod 42. A sealing ring 411 is provided on the side wall of the sealing plate 41, slidably connected to the inner wall of the suction pipe 1. The sealing ring 411 is tightly fitted against the inner wall of the suction pipe 1 to prevent leakage. The sealing ring 411 needs to be replaced promptly when it is severely worn. The push-pull rod 42 is fixed to the upper part of the sealing plate 41 and passes through the top of the suction pipe 1. During use, pulling the push-pull rod 42 moves the sealing plate 41 up and down. A scale line is provided on the side wall of the push-pull rod 42. When the scale line is located outside the suction pipe 1, the auxiliary mechanism 5 is located above the outlet pipe 11, allowing methane gas to enter the outlet pipe 11.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, the auxiliary mechanism 5 also includes a motor 52 and a protective cover 53. The fixed end of the motor 52 is fixed to the bottom of the enclosed plate 41, and the output end of the motor 52 is fixed to the suction fan 51. After the motor 52 starts, it drives the suction fan 51 to rotate, thereby increasing the airflow speed and improving the gas collection speed. The protective cover 53 surrounds the motor 52 and the suction fan 51. The bottom of the protective cover 53 is provided with air holes. The protective cover 53 protects the suction fan 51 from being damaged by the impact of coal slag entering the suction pipe 1 on the fan blades. The air holes allow the suction fan 51 to draw air and accelerate gas circulation.

[0033] A first valve 12 is provided in the middle of the side wall of the vent pipe 11. When the first valve 12 is closed, the vent pipe 11 cannot emit gas. When the first valve 12 is opened, the gas in the suction pipe 1 flows out from the vent pipe 11. When only a small amount of gas is collected, the first valve 12 is closed, so that the collected gas is stored in the suction pipe 1. When a large amount of gas is collected, a gas collecting bag 6 is installed at the vent pipe 11 to transfer the gas into the gas collecting bag 6.

[0034] The gas collecting bladder 6 has a collecting tube 61 on its side wall. The end of the collecting tube 61 is screwed to the gas outlet tube 11. The middle part of the collecting tube 61 has a second valve 62. When a large amount of gas needs to be collected, the collecting tube 61 is screwed into the gas outlet tube 11. After collection is completed, the first valve 12 and the second valve 62 are closed in sequence. Then the collecting tube 61 can be removed from the gas outlet tube 11.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
