[0003] Currently, when mining coalbed methane in thin coal seams, it is necessary to first drain water and depressurize the coalbed methane into free gas before collection. However, the coal and rock in thin coal seams are relatively soft, and coal dust is easily generated during the mining process. Coal dust can easily cause pump jamming, and after pump jamming, coal dust needs to be cleaned, making the collection process intermittent and greatly increasing the collection time.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a high-efficiency coalbed methane extraction device for large-spacing thin coal seam groups to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the invention, a high-efficiency coalbed methane extraction device for a group of thin coal seams with large spacing includes a main pipe 1, a branch pipe 2, a coal powder filter assembly 3, and a coal discharge mechanism 4. The branch pipe 2 is fixedly installed on the main pipe 1. The main pipe 1 is provided with a coal powder filter assembly 3. Coal storage chambers 5 are fixedly provided on both sides of the coal powder filter assembly 3. The coal discharge mechanism 4 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the coal storage chambers 5.
[0027] The coal powder filter assembly 3 includes a housing 31, a support base 32, a collection plate 33, and a conveyor belt 34. The housing 31 is fixedly installed in the main pipe 1. Multiple support bases 32 are staggered and inclined on the housing 31. The conveyor belt 34 is installed on the support base 32. The conveyor belt 34 is driven by a motor. Multiple collection plates 33 are installed on the conveyor belt 34.
[0028] Furthermore, the support base 32 passes through the outer shell 31 and extends into the coal storage chamber 5.
[0029] During implementation, a vertical well and multiple horizontal wells are drilled using a drilling rig. The coal seam in the horizontal wells is drained and depressurized. Then, multiple branch pipes 2 are extended into the horizontal wells and connected to the main pipe 1. The main pipe is connected to an extraction pump to extract coalbed methane from the coal seam. During the extraction process, the coalbed methane can pass through the surface of the support base 32. Coal powder mixed in the coalbed methane can be stuck in the groove 331 in the collection plate 33. Then, the coal powder on the collection plate 33 is transported to the coal storage chamber 5 by the conveyor belt 34, and the coal discharge mechanism 4 is used to transport the coal powder to the outside of the main pipe 1, thereby achieving the separation of coalbed methane and coal powder, preventing coal powder from blocking the pump, and thus improving the extraction efficiency of coalbed methane.
[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 3The conveyor belt 34 has multiple deflector seats 341 symmetrically arranged on both sides. The right-angle end of the collecting plate 33 is rotatably arranged between two symmetrical deflector seats 341. The conveyor belt 34 is provided with a baffle 35. A spring 36 is fixedly arranged between the collecting plate 33 and the baffle 35. A stop block 37 is fixedly arranged on the conveyor belt 34. The collecting plate 33 is pressed against the stop block 37 by the action of the spring 36.
[0031] Specifically, a baffle 35 is provided on the conveyor belt 34, which can hold the collecting plate 33 against the stop block 37 by a spring 36, so that the inner side of the right-angled surface of the collecting plate 33 faces downward and the right-angled surface of the collecting plate 33 is set as an inwardly concave arc surface, which can gather the coal powder and make it easy to trap the coal powder in the groove 311. In addition, a support rod 51 is provided in the coal storage chamber 5. When the collecting plate 33 enters the coal storage chamber 5, the collecting plate 33 can be deflected under the action of the support rod 51 and squeeze the spring 36. Subsequently, after the collecting plate 33 leaves the range of the support rod 51, the collecting plate 33 strikes the stop block 37 under the action of the spring 36, thereby generating vibration, causing the coal powder in the groove 311 to fall into the coal storage chamber 5, thereby filtering the coal powder mixed in the coalbed methane.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , 3 The outer shell 31 has a notch 311 for the collection plate to pass through, and an elastic pad 312 is provided in the notch 311;
[0033] A stop bar 38 is fixedly provided between the deflection seat 341 and the stop block 37. The stop bar 38 can squeeze the elastic pad 312 and make the elastic pad 312 slide along the surface of the stop bar 38.
[0034] Specifically, the elastic pad 312 is provided to isolate the outer shell 31 from the coal storage chamber 5, preventing coal dust in the coal storage chamber 5 from re-entering the outer shell 31. Furthermore, a stop bar 38 is provided between the deflection seat 341 and the stop block 37, which can preferentially squeeze the elastic pad 312 to deflect it when the collecting plate 33 passes through the notch 311, preventing the elastic pad 312 from contacting the collecting plate 33, thereby preventing coal dust on the collecting plate 33 from falling into the outer shell 31.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 The collecting plate 33 is a right-angled plate, and its right-angled surface is concave inward in an arc shape;
[0036] Furthermore, the inner right-angled surface of the collecting plate 33 is provided with a plurality of grooves 331 for collecting coal powder.
[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , 3A support rod 51 is fixedly installed in the coal storage chamber 5 near the support base 32. The support rod 51 can squeeze the collecting plate 33 to cause it to deflect.
[0038] An arc-shaped plate 52 is fixedly installed on the coal storage chamber 5, and the arc-shaped plate 52 is located above the support base 32.
[0039] During implementation, when the collecting plate 33 passes through the notch 311 and enters the coal storage chamber 5, the support rod 51 squeezes the collecting plate 33 to deflect it and squeezes the spring 36. Subsequently, after the collecting plate 33 leaves the squeezing range of the support rod 51, the collecting plate 33 strikes the stop block 37 under the action of the spring 36, causing the coal powder stuck in the groove 331 of the collecting plate 33 to fall into the coal storage chamber 5. An arc-shaped plate 52 is provided on the coal storage chamber 5. The arc-shaped plate 52 can protect the collecting plate 33 located below, thereby preventing the coal powder on the collecting plate 33 above from falling back onto the collecting plate 33 below.
[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 The coal discharge mechanism 4 includes a base 41 and a turntable 42. The base 41 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the coal storage chamber 5, and a discharge chamber 43 is opened in the base 41. The turntable 42 is sealed and rotatably installed in the discharge chamber 43.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 An inclined surface is provided above the base 41;
[0042] The discharge chamber 43 is provided with discharge port 431 above and discharge port 432 below;
[0043] The turntable 42 has a slot 421 that is the same size as the discharge port 431 and discharge port 432.
[0044] During implementation, when the coal powder on the collecting plate 33 falls to the bottom of the coal storage chamber 5, the coal powder slides down the inclined surface to the discharge port 431. Then, the turntable 42 rotates, causing the slot 421 to rotate to the discharge port 431. The coal powder falls into the slot 421 through the discharge port 431. Then, the turntable 42 rotates, causing the slot 421 to rotate to the discharge port 432, thereby discharging the coal powder into the coal storage chamber 5. During this process, the turntable 42 remains sealed while rotating in the base 41 to prevent the discharged coal powder from being re-inhaled into the main pipe 1.
[0045] In summary, when implementing this invention, it is preferable to use a drilling rig to drill vertical wells and multiple horizontal wells to drain and depressurize the coal seam in the horizontal wells. Then, multiple branch pipes 2 are extended into the horizontal wells and connected to the main pipe 1. The main pipe is externally connected to a pump to extract coalbed methane from the coal seam. During the extraction process, the coal powder filter assembly 3 is used to filter the coal powder in the coalbed methane and transport the coal powder to the coal storage chamber 5. Then, the coal discharge mechanism 4 is used to discharge the coal powder to the outside of the coal storage chamber 5, effectively preventing the coal powder from getting stuck in the pump, thereby improving the extraction efficiency of coalbed methane.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
