Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline unblocking, and relates to a method for unblocking an underground extraction pipeline. Background Art
[0002] my country's coal mines have complex geological structures and coal seam occurrence conditions. Over 50% of currently operating mines are gassy or experience coal and gas outbursts, including 757 mines with coal and gas outbursts and 1,024 with gassy coal. Regulations require that all mines with gassy or coal and gas outbursts in my country have established gas extraction systems. However, investigations have revealed that while average gas extraction rates in countries like Russia, the United States, and Australia exceed 50%, the average extraction rate in most mines in my country is only 23%.
[0003] The low gas extraction rate in my country's mines is primarily due to two factors. First, over 95% of my country's high-gas and outburst mines operate in coal seams with low permeability, making coal seam gas extraction extremely difficult. Second, during actual mine gas extraction, large amounts of fissure water and coal slag from the coal strata, driven by gravity and negative pressure, enter the gas extraction pipelines, causing blockage. Field research and field surveys conducted on multiple gas control projects at our institute revealed that gas extraction pipelines are severely clogged at key locations such as "low points" and "inflection points" after long-term operation. In some areas, blockages extend up to one-quarter to one-third of the entire pipeline cross-section. Furthermore, coal slag is dispersed and deposited 30 to 40 meters before and after these key locations. This blockage dramatically reduces the effective extraction cross-section of the extraction pipelines and significantly increases the pressure drop caused by the negative extraction pressure. This significantly increases the power consumption of the gas extraction equipment, significantly reduces gas extraction efficiency, and in severe cases, can even lead to complete failure of the entire gas extraction system.
[0004] To address the problem of gas extraction pipe networks being prone to blockage, some coal companies and research institutes have developed supporting slag removal technologies and equipment. Currently, most mines in my country primarily use equipment such as negative pressure water release devices to address this issue. However, research has found that after long-term operation, these devices often experience blockages in the floats, as coal slag from the gas extraction pipe networks flows into the devices along with the water. This causes the automatic negative pressure water release to frequently malfunction, requiring frequent maintenance. Huainan Mining Group has developed a combined filtering and slag removal device, which adds a control gate valve in the middle of the slag remover to divide it into two upper and lower chambers. When the extraction system is operating normally, the gate valve is opened, and the coal slag pumped in can fall along the baffle to the bottom of the tank and separate from the gas. When removing the slag, the gate valve is closed to separate the lower chamber from the upper chamber, and the upper chamber can continue to be extracted because the lower chamber is separated from the negative pressure. The slag removal operation can be carried out by opening the air vent. However, this method requires manual control of the gate valve to complete the fixed-point slag removal operation, which is only suitable for intercepting coal slag at the front end of the drilling site. At the same time, this method artificially increases the resistance of the extraction system; North China University of Science and Technology has developed a A visual water drainage and slag removal system for gas extraction pipelines, which is controlled by a solenoid valve. The large-box water drainer has high water discharge efficiency, strong reliability and slag removal function. However, due to its large size, this method is only suitable for pipelines such as gas extraction main pipes, and belongs to fixed-point slag removal. Our institute has also developed a new type of drawer-type slag remover for gas extraction pipelines. The screen baffle of the slag remover adopts a drawer-type structure design, which has the characteristics of optional screen and easy cleaning. It has high slag removal efficiency and easy maintenance. It is suitable for installation in gas extraction main pipes, trunk pipes and branch pipes. However, this method also requires manual cleaning, and the screen baffle of the slag remover is easy to clog and requires frequent maintenance.
[0005] The aforementioned research has resulted in various forms and principles of slag removal equipment for gas extraction pipelines. However, these findings have not been widely adopted in mines nationwide for two main reasons: first, the slag removal equipment itself is prone to clogging, requiring regular maintenance by dedicated personnel; second, the aforementioned technology and equipment employ "passive" slag removal. Since most coal slag cannot enter the slag removal equipment installed lower in the extraction pipeline due to negative pressure, the accumulated slag along the gas extraction pipeline walls cannot be effectively removed. To clean the accumulated slag from the gas extraction pipeline walls, a mine must undergo the following process: suspending extraction at the mining face or goaf, dismantling the pipeline and physically cleaning it, reinstalling the extraction pipeline, and finally resuming gas extraction. This method severely impacts continuous extraction and safe production at the mining face. Furthermore, underground coal mine extraction pipeline networks typically span tens of thousands of meters, making manual disassembly and installation time-consuming and labor-intensive, and posing significant safety risks.
[0006] Therefore, in view of the difficulties that existing slag removal technology and equipment are fixed-point removal, easy to clog and time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is urgent to develop a new slag removal technology and equipment to effectively remove the coal slag deposited in the gas extraction pipeline network and improve the efficiency of coal seam gas extraction.

[0066] See also Figures 1 to 24 , which is a method for unblocking an underground extraction pipeline. A plurality of fixed tees 21 are arranged on the extraction pipeline 7 at set intervals to divide the extraction pipeline 7 into several sections. The fixed tees 21 serve as access ports and slag discharge outlets for unblocking and cleaning. The unblocking device 1 enters the extraction pipeline 7 from the fixed tees. While the extraction pipeline 7 is continuously pumped, the extraction pipeline 7 is unblocked in sections using a high-pressure jet. A gate valve 22 is installed on each fixed tee 21 to control the opening and closing of the access port.
[0067] When clearing the blockage, a slag discharge tee 23 is connected to the gate valve 22 of one of the fixed tee pipes 21, and a diverting conveyor 24 is installed in the slag discharge tee pipe 23. The fixed tee pipe 21, the gate valve 22, and the diverting conveyor 23 together constitute an integrated diverting and slag discharge device 2.
[0068] The gate valve on the fixed tee pipe adjacent to the fixed tee pipe 21 for the unblocking operation is connected to the water discharger 4. Part of the water slag generated by the unblocking operation enters the slag discharge device 3 through the integrated slag discharge device 2, and the other part enters the water discharger 4.
[0069] The slag discharge tee 23 comprises a straight pipe 231 and a side pipe 232 obliquely mounted on the sidewall of the straight pipe 231. One end of the straight pipe 231 is detachably connected to the gate valve 22, while the diverter conveyor 24 is inserted from the other end of the straight pipe 231, passing through the gate valve 22 and extending into the fixed tee 21. A pipe delivery channel is provided within the diverter conveyor 24. One end of the side pipe 232 communicates with the gate valve 22 through the straight pipe 231, while the other end is connected to the slag discharge device 3. A sealing ring 25 is mounted on the end of the straight pipe 231 away from the gate valve 22. The sealing ring 25 is installed between the diverter conveyor 24 and the straight pipe 231 to prevent slag liquid from flowing out of the straight pipe 231. The end surface of the sealing ring 25 near the side pipe 232 is inclined and tilted toward the side pipe 232, allowing the slag liquid to flow into the side pipe 232 through the inclined surface. Sealing rings 27 are installed between the sealing ring 25 and the straight pipe 231 , and between the sealing ring 25 and the diverting conveyor 24 .
[0070] The diverting conveyor 24 comprises a hollow tube 243 and a diverting head 241, which is threadedly connected to one end of the hollow tube 243. A diverting bend is provided within the diverting head 241, with one end opening communicating with the hollow tube 243 and the other end opening located on the sidewall of the diverting head 241.

At this time, the water slag flowing into the extraction pipeline is temporarily stored in the buffer cavity 32, which does not affect the extraction pipeline unblocking operation.
[0086] After the slag in the slag discharge chamber 31 is completely discharged, the gravity of the float 314 drives the push rod 315 downward, causing the movable magnetic device 316 and the fixed magnetic device 317 to separate. At this time, the positive pressure check valve 311 and the second negative pressure check valve 313 are closed together, and the first negative pressure check valve 322 is then opened.

The fixed magnetic device 494 is fixedly mounted on the top of the water collection chamber 41 and opposite the movable magnetic device 493. After the float 491 rises, the movable magnetic device 493 and the fixed magnetic device 494 are attracted to each other. The magnetic force and the buoyancy of the float 491 jointly maintain the open state of the positive pressure one-way valve 42. The magnetic force between the movable magnetic device 493 and the fixed magnetic device 494 is less than the gravity of the float 491; when the water in the water collecting cavity 41 separates from the float 491, the float 491 separates the movable magnetic device 493 from the fixed magnetic device 494 under the action of gravity, automatically descends, and closes the positive pressure one-way valve 42.

[0093] After the water residue in the water collecting chamber 41 is drained, the top rod 492 moves downward under the action of the gravity of the float 491, so that the movable magnetic device 493 and the fixed magnetic device 494 are separated. At this time, the positive pressure one-way valve 42 and the second negative pressure one-way valve 44 are closed together, and the first negative pressure one-way valve 48 is then opened.

[0102] The process of unblocking the extraction pipeline is as follows:
[0103] First, hoist or push the declogging device 1 to the cleaning section of the gas extraction pipeline 7, connect one end of the hydraulic pipe 6 to the self-propelled declogging nozzle 5, and the other end to the high-pressure pump group 14, connect the high-pressure pump group 14 to the mine water supply pipeline, and connect the reel motor 122, the propulsion motor, and the clamping cylinder 132 to the mine compressed air pipeline.
[0104] Connect the integrated deflection and slag discharge device 2 to one of the fixed tees 21. Insert the deflection conveyor 24 into the slag discharge tee 23 and secure it. The side pipe 232 of the slag discharge tee 23 is connected to the slag discharge device 3. The fixed tee adjacent to the fixed tee 21 is connected to the water drain 4.
[0105] Then, open the clamping cylinder 132 to move the upper plate 134 downward, clamp the hydraulic pipe 6 between the driving wheel 137 and the driven wheel 135, turn on the propulsion motor to rotate the driving wheel 137, drive the hydraulic pipe 6 forward, push the self-propelled unblocking nozzle 5 into the extraction pipeline, open the ball valve, and start the high-pressure pump group 14 to deliver high-pressure water to the self-propelled unblocking nozzle 5.
[0106] Next, the self-propelled unclogging nozzle 5 performs unclogging operations in the extraction pipeline. High-pressure water is ejected from the front nozzle 531, the rotating nozzle 532, the rear nozzle 521, and the side nozzle 522, forming a high-speed water jet to flush and clean the blockages in the extraction pipeline and remove the blockages from the extraction pipeline. The jet from the rotating nozzle 532 generates a reaction force on the rotating nozzle, causing the rotating nozzle to rotate on the rotating shaft 54, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the blockages in the extraction pipeline. The jet from the rear nozzle 521 generates a reaction force on the tailstock 52, causing the tailstock 52 to drive the shell 51 forward, thereby achieving the self-propelling function of the self-propelled unclogging nozzle 5. The cleaning speed is adjusted by controlling the water pressure during the cleaning process.
[0107] During the cleaning and unblocking process, the slag discharge device 3 simultaneously collects and discharges the water slag, and part of the water slag enters the adjacent water discharger 4.
[0108] When the self-propelled unclogging nozzle 5 completes the unclogging operation, the high-pressure pump group 14 is turned off, the propulsion motor and the hose reel motor 122 are reversed, and the hydraulic hose 6 is reeled in. The direction of the steering head 241 is adjusted to continue the unclogging operation at the other end of the extraction pipeline.
[0109] Before automatic unblocking and deslagging operations, establish one gas extraction parameter observation point upstream and downstream of the drainage pipe tee in the pipeline network. Before and after the automatic unblocking and deslagging operations are completed, observe extraction parameters such as mixed flow and negative pressure at the upstream and downstream drainage branch pipe observation points at least once daily for 5-10 days. Before and after the automatic jet unblocking and deslagging operations are completed, analyze the monitoring data for parameters such as negative pressure and flow at the upstream and downstream nodes in real time to evaluate the drainage effect after the unblocking.
