However, without auxiliary measures, the depth of the flexible pipe in the drilling hole is very limited, and the actual sealing position of the drilling hole cannot meet the design requirements of the deep drilling hole sealing, which directly affects the accuracy of the gas extraction effect and the gas pressure measurement result.

[0010] Furthermore, the pulling mechanism includes a steel wire rope and a second connector. The second connector is fixed inside the positioning pipe and is located between the keyway and the positioning mechanism. A rope-threading groove is provided on the side wall of the positioning pipe and is located on one side of the second connector.

[0022] S6. Disconnect the wire rope from the first bolt and reconnect the end of the wire rope connected to the first bolt to one end of the sealing flexible tube. Then pull the other end of the wire rope to pull the sealing flexible tube to the designated position in the borehole, thus completing the lowering operation of the sealing flexible tube in the borehole.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made by those skilled in the art to all other embodiments obtained without creative effort should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a borehole suspension device, including a locking pipe 1, a flexible expansion sleeve 9, a variable element 13, and a steel wire rope 16; the locking pipe 1 is a rigid hollow cylinder, with its inner end being a closed conical shape or a reduced-diameter platform, and its outer end being an open shape.
[0032] The positioning pipe 1 is provided with a vent hole 2, a third through bolt hole 3, a second through bolt hole 5, a rope groove 7, and a keyway 8 sequentially from the inner end to the outer end. The vent holes 2 are evenly distributed on a section of the side wall of the positioning pipe 1 near the inner end, and all penetrate the side wall of the positioning pipe 1. The design of the vent holes facilitates subsequent gas pressure measurement. The third through bolt hole 3 is located near the 1 / 3 position of the positioning pipe 1 near the inner end, perpendicularly penetrates the side wall of the positioning pipe 1, and is threadedly connected to the third bolt 4. The second through bolt hole 5 is located near the outer end of the locking pipe 1 at about 1 / 3 of its length, perpendicularly penetrating the side wall of the locking pipe 1, and is threadedly connected to the second bolt 6; the rope groove 7 is located on the side wall of the locking pipe 1 and is located on one side of the second bolt 6, and is arranged perpendicularly to the second through bolt hole 5 in space; the keyway 8 is located at the outer end of the locking pipe 1 and is arranged parallel to the rope groove 7, and the line connecting the centerline of the rope groove 7 and the axis of the locking pipe 1 forms a 90° angle with the line connecting the centerline of the keyway 8 and the axis of the locking pipe 1;
[0033] The flexible expansion sleeve 9 is sleeved in the middle of the positioning pipe 1. The inner end of the flexible expansion sleeve 9 (i.e. the side near the sealed end of the positioning pipe 1) is fixed to the third bolt 4 by the upper fixing wire 10, and the outer end (i.e. the side near the open end of the positioning pipe 1) is fixed to the sliding ring 12 by the lower fixing wire 11.
[0034] The sliding ring 12 is a hollow circular tube, which is sleeved on the outside of the locking pipe 1 and can slide along the locking pipe 1. The cross-section of the sliding ring 12 is concave.
[0035] The cross-section of the variable member 13 is a horizontally convex shape. Its outer end is threaded and connected to the drill rod, and its inner end is a hollow cylinder. The inner end of the variable member 13 is provided with a first through screw hole 14, which is threaded to the first bolt 15.
[0036] The variable element 13 can be embedded inside the locking pipe 1, and one end of the first bolt 15 can be inserted into the keyway 8; when the drilling rig drives the drill rod to rotate and advance, the variable element 13 can drive the locking pipe 1 to rotate and advance in the borehole through the keyway 8.
[0037] One end of the steel wire rope 16 is fixed to the first bolt 15, and the other end passes through the second bolt 6 inside the locking pipe 1 and exits through the rope groove 7 to the outside of the locking pipe 1.
[0038] This embodiment also discloses a method for using an in-hole suspension device, including the following steps:
[0039] S1. After drilling is completed, remove all drill rods from the borehole in sequence and unload the drill bit.
[0040] S2. Assemble the suspension device inside the borehole, connect the variable member 13 to the drill rod, fix one end of the steel wire rope 16 to the first bolt 15, and pass the other end through the second bolt 6 inside the locking pipe 1 and out of the locking pipe 1 through the rope groove 7; then, put the locking pipe 1 on the outside of the variable member 13, at which time the first bolt 15 is embedded in the keyway 8.
[0041] S3. Use the drill rod of the drilling rig to slowly send the suspension device inside the borehole into the borehole, while gradually extending the steel wire rope 16 so that it extends in the borehole in sync with the suspension device inside the borehole.
[0042] S4. After the suspension device inside the borehole is lowered to the designated position (e.g., ... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown), tighten the steel wire rope 16 outside the hole and slowly withdraw the drill rod. The variable element 13 moves outward with the drill rod, causing the locking pipe 1 to move backward synchronously. Meanwhile, the flexible expansion sleeve 9 gradually contracts due to friction with the borehole wall. The sliding ring 12 slides towards the sealing end of the locking pipe 1 and finally stops near the third through bolt hole 3. At this time, the flexible expansion sleeve 9 is fully contracted and fully contacts the borehole wall, so that the locking pipe 1 is fixed in the borehole and forms a suspended fixed state.
[0043] S5. Continue to slowly withdraw the drill pipe while gradually extending the wire rope 16. The variable joint 13 separates from the locking pipe 1, and drives the wire rope 16 to pass around the second through bolt hole 5 and gradually retreat. Withdraw all drill pipes from the borehole in sequence. At this time, the wire rope 16 forms a pulley structure inside the locking pipe 1 (e.g., Figure 3 , Figure 4 (as shown)
[0044] S6. Disconnect the end of the wire rope 16 from the variable member 13, and reconnect the end to one end of the sealing flexible pipe. Then pull the other end of the wire rope 16 to lower the sealing flexible pipe to the designated position, completing the lowering operation of the sealing flexible pipe into the medium-length borehole.
[0045] This invention proposes a borehole suspension device. This device is simple and reliable in structure. It allows the positioning pipe to be lowered to any designated position within the borehole using a drilling rig and drill rod, and its positioning is achieved through a positioning mechanism. Then, a traction mechanism lowers the flexible sealing pipe to the designated position within the borehole. This solves the problem of difficulty in lowering the flexible sealing pipe in medium-length boreholes in pressurized sealing and "direct pipe connection" processes. It improves the lowering depth and accuracy of the flexible sealing pipe in medium-length boreholes, fully meeting the sealing requirements of medium-length boreholes and ensuring that the sealing effect is not affected. This improves the gas extraction efficiency and the accuracy of gas pressure measurement results in coal mining operations, bringing convenience to coal mine gas extraction work.
