Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air jet and coal seam pressure relief and permeability enhancement, and in particular relates to a device and method capable of realizing self-adaptive adjustment of coal seam hole expansion angle. Background Art

[0002] As the main energy source in my country, coal is the "ballast stone" of energy supply. In the context of low-carbon economy, my country's energy structure optimization strategy emphasizes resolutely controlling the total growth of energy consumption. As a bottom-line energy guarantee, coal's efficient mining is extremely critical to my country's energy security. However, more than 70% of my country's coal seams are low-permeability coal seams, and gas extraction is difficult and time-consuming. The low gas extraction rate leads to an imbalance in coal mining, which seriously curbs the release of coal production capacity. At present, hydraulic measures are widely studied and applied in the field of coal seam permeability enhancement due to mature technical equipment and flexible application. Specific hydraulic measures include hydraulic slitting, hydraulic punching, and hydraulically driven mechanical tools with water as the working medium to break coal and increase permeability. For example, the publication number CN219808956U, the invention name is "a coal seam reamer", which uses high-pressure water pressure to expand the reamer through a compressed fast compression spring to break coal and increase permeability over a large range. The pressure required for this device to use pure water jets is relatively high, and the safety of the equipment is low. In addition, the length of the reaming tool is limited by the current material. A tool that is too long is prone to brittle breakage. Therefore, the current reaming tool cannot achieve large-diameter reaming. At the same time, if the peeled coal body cannot be removed in time, there is also a risk of clogging the closing device; the publication number is CN109630022A, and the name of the invention is "A composite drill bit", which also uses high pressure to provide the power for tool closing. In addition to the above-mentioned advantages and disadvantages, this device can more accurately control the closing of the tool by setting the pressure conversion in stages. However, when constructing through-layer drilling and reaming, it is inevitable that there will be a blank zone for reaming, and at the same time, the ground stress cannot be fully utilized. After the reaming construction, due to the intrusion of water into the coal seam, the reaming shape is more susceptible to the action of ground stress, resulting in deformation, creep, and collapse. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned problems. Based on the existing equipment and technology, the present invention proposes a reaming device and method that uses low-pressure air as a power medium to achieve self-adaptation of the coal seam reaming angle. The safety of the device is improved; and the new reamer can maximize the use of ground stress to achieve the stability of the reaming shape by adjusting the nozzle angle. At the same time, the Laval nozzle designed and developed based on aerodynamics and installed on the reamer can achieve high supersonic ejection of low-pressure gas jets, thereby achieving large-diameter reaming and permeability enhancement of coal seams, achieving efficient extraction of coal seam gas, and promoting the release of coal production capacity.

[0008] Furthermore, the control system includes a PLC integrated control board, and the gyroscope and the servo motor are both electrically connected to the PLC integrated control board.

[0009] Furthermore, the ratchet is an inner edge ratchet, including an outer inner edge bevel tooth surface and a central circular arc surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the center of the Laval nozzle is composed of a contraction section, a throat and an expansion section in sequence, and the outlet of the expansion section is connected to a straight channel in the center of the elastic block.

[0011] A method for adjusting a device capable of realizing adaptive adjustment of a coal seam hole expansion angle comprises the following steps:

[0012] S1. Before expanding the coal seam, first fix the pipeline and make the drill drill to the coal seam position;

[0013] S2. Place the resin ball into the inner hole of the drill pipe and re-thread the air braid to the drill pipe;

The deformation of the elastic block is less than the torque when the Laval nozzle rotates, that is, to ensure that the Laval nozzle can rotate and spray normally; two symmetrical nozzles are provided on the outside of the reamer housing, and the nozzle opening is larger than the inner diameter of the straight channel in the elastic block. This is to meet the needs of the Laval nozzle during rotational spraying, and the nozzle is connected to the straight channel nozzle; it also includes a control system and an angle adaptive adjustment device 6e, the angle adaptive adjustment device includes an internal gear 14 inserted in the air inlet end of the radial nozzle and having an interference fit with the inner wall of the radial nozzle, a spoke gear 15 meshing with the internal gear, the center of the spoke gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, and also includes a gyroscope, the servo motor, the gyroscope and the control system are all arranged in a cylindrical protective shell, and the protective shell is inserted at the end of the straight channel nozzle; the control system includes a PLC integrated control board, and the gyroscope and the servo motor are both electrically connected to the PLC integrated control board.

[0034] A method for adjusting a device capable of realizing adaptive adjustment of a coal seam hole expansion angle comprises the following steps:

[0035] S1. Before expanding the coal seam, first fix the pipeline and make the drill drill to the coal seam position;

[0036] S2. Place the resin ball into the inner hole of the drill pipe and re-thread the air braid to the drill pipe;

[0037] S3. Adjust the air compressor to 0.5MPa, open the valve on the air braid, and count for 1-2 minutes according to the drilling depth, waiting for the resin balls to be transported to the gas inlet end of the center flow channel of the reamer and block the center flow channel.

[0038] S4. Adjust the air compressor to the required working pressure, and the gas enters through the straight channel nozzles on both sides of the reamer inlet end;

[0039] S5. The angle adaptive adjustment device drives the Laval nozzle to rotate by meshing with the gear installed in the ratchet radial flow channel tube to achieve angle adjustment;

[0040] S6. After passing through the straight channel nozzle, the gas enters the ratchet radial channel tube, and then is accelerated to hypersonic speed through the Laval nozzle and ejected for hole expansion.

[0041] When used specifically, first, install the reamer between the drill rod 4 and the drill bit 7, and the drill rig 5 drives the drill rod 4, the reamer 6, and the drill bit 7 to drill and expand to the coal seam 8. The resin ball 21 is disassembled and inserted into the central channel of the drill rod 4 through the connection between the air braid 3 and the drill rod. The relationship between the diameter d1 of the resin ball, the diameter d2 of the air braid 2 channel, and the diameter d3 of the drill rod channel is d3>d1>d2. The ball designed in this way can smoothly pass through the central channel of the drill rod without falling into the internal flow channel of the air braid. Turn on the air compressor to make it slightly lower than the required working pressure, open the valve 3a on the air braid 3, and after timing for 1 minute, adjust the air compressor to the required working pressure, so as to prevent the resin ball from moving rapidly under the force of the gas and causing impact and crushing. After the compressed gas passes through the air braid 3, it carries the resin ball 21 to move in the central channel of the drill rod 4 until it reaches the inlet end of the central flow channel 6b of the reamer. At this time, the resin ball 21 blocks the central flow channel because its diameter is larger than that of the central flow channel 6b; the gas is divided into two streams in the reamer 6, flowing along path one and path two respectively. Path one: the gas passes through the straight channel nozzle 6a installed on the reamer 6, then enters the radial nozzle 6f installed in the ratchet structure 6c, and finally enters the Laval nozzle 6d to accelerate to hypersonic speed and eject; path two is the same as path one and will not be repeated. The reamer nozzle angle adaptive adjustment device is coordinated by the ratchet 9 and the control system 6e; when the reaming starts, the control system senses the angle change through the built-in gyroscope and transmits the data signal to the PLC integrated control board, and the PLC integrated control board sends instructions to control the servo motor, which cooperates with the spoke gear 15 through the output end of the servo motor, and the spoke gear 15 is meshed with the internal gear 14. The inner gear 14 is installed in the radial flow channel tube with an interference fit; the outer wall of the radial flow channel tube is fixedly matched with the central circular arc surface of the ratchet 9, and the radial flow channel tube drives the blocking fast 11 to rotate when rotating. The blocking fast 11 is fixed by the large pin 10 and can only rotate around the pin. The elastic sheet cooperates with the blocking fast 11 through the small pin 13, and the engagement of the blocking fast 11 with the ratchet bevel tooth surface 9b during the rotation process can effectively prevent the radial flow channel tube from retracting and rotating. The gas outlet section of the radial flow channel tube cooperates with the Laval nozzle 6d; the servo motor drives the spoke gear 15 to move, and the spoke gear 15 engages with the inner gear 14 installed in the radial flow channel tube, and then drives the radial flow channel tube to rotate, and finally drives the Laval nozzle 6d to rotate to achieve angle adjustment; the elastic block 19 is installed in the nozzle angle adjustment range 6d, and the middle straight channel 20 cooperates with the Laval nozzle 6d to prevent the coal slag from falling into the reamer during the coal breaking and hole expansion process. The gas enters the Laval nozzle 6d, first passes through the contraction section 16, and is accelerated to the local sonic speed at the throat 17, and then continues to be accelerated to the supersonic speed in the expansion section 18 before being ejected to expand the hole.
