Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of coal mining and coal mine safety, and relates to a one-stop rapid and accurate determination device for coal seam gas content. Background Art

[0002] Coal mine gas is a catastrophic gas that causes accidents such as coal and gas outbursts and gas explosions. It is also a high-quality clean energy source, but if not utilized, it is a source of greenhouse gas pollution. The gas content of coal seams is the basic data for predicting the amount of gas outburst in mines, formulating scientific and reasonable gas disaster prevention and control measures, utilizing coalbed methane (gas) resources, and measuring methane emissions. Traditional gas content determination requires taking coal samples underground, sealing the coal samples, and measuring the desorption amount at normal pressure. After the desorption amount is measured underground, the coal samples need to be brought to the surface, crushed in the laboratory, and the crushing desorption amount is measured. The measurement time is long and labor-intensive. The desorption amount measurement requires manual reading, which is highly arbitrary and has large errors.

[0003] In view of this, some scholars have begun to explore the underground integrated measurement technology of coal seam gas content, and have developed an underground compressed air-driven granular coal crushing device, using a flow sensor to measure the gas desorption amount. However, the existing underground granular coal high-efficiency crushing devices all use vane-type pneumatic motors. Affected by environmental factors such as high temperature, high humidity, and heavy dust underground, the vane-type pneumatic motor has poor reliability and is prone to sparks when the blades rub against the motor housing. More importantly, a large amount of heat is generated during the coal sample crushing process, causing the internal temperature of the crushing device to increase sharply, and the internal gas to expand, affecting the accuracy of gas content measurement. Secondly, gas mass flow meters have the disadvantages of being difficult to accurately measure the amount of gas micro-desorption, and large measurement errors when the desorption amount fluctuates, which seriously restricts the accurate measurement of coal seam gas content.
