Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of coal mine drilling, and relates to a method for preventing blowouts and removing dust at the entrance of compressed air drilling in coal mines and for transferring drill cuttings. Specifically, it relates to an automatic slag removal system and method for rotating sealing blowout prevention and dust removal at the entrance of compressed air drilling in coal mines. Background Technology

[0002] In coal mines, compressed air drilling is used for drilling holes for gas control, water exploration, and geological structure exploration. Compressed air drilling causes minimal disturbance to the borehole wall, which is beneficial for drilling in complex geological conditions and results in a high borehole success rate. Furthermore, in recent years, compressed air drilling has been combined with directional drilling to develop pneumatic directional drilling. In gas control drilling in soft, fractured coal seams, this technology not only improves borehole depth and success rate but also offers the advantages of controllable borehole trajectory, high borehole coverage accuracy, and effective avoidance of blind spots in gas control. It has become one of the main technologies for gas control in soft, fractured coal seam mines. However, both compressed air drilling and pneumatic directional drilling present two major challenges: severe dust pollution and the risk of gas exceedance accidents. To address these challenges, numerous researchers have conducted studies. For the severe dust pollution problem, a jet-type dust removal device has been developed. This device uses a high-pressure jet to create a high negative pressure, drawing dust returning from the borehole into the dust removal unit, where it is then suppressed by water mist. Dust collectors were used in conjunction with windbreak curtains for dust removal. Dust returning from the orifice was first removed by a jet dust collector, and any remaining dust was then separated by the windbreak curtain before being removed again by the dust collector. A dust pump truck was developed, integrating the jet dust collector onto a tracked vehicle for easy relocation. However, none of the aforementioned dust collectors achieved a completely sealed dust removal process; a significant amount of dust still returned from the gaps between the dust collector and the drill pipe annulus, polluting the on-site working environment and failing to achieve 100% dust removal. In areas with high gas content... Regarding limitations, various types of blowout preventers (BOPs) have been developed. In recent years, automatic BOPs have been developed. When a large amount of gas is detected surging from the borehole, the automatic controller quickly shuts down the BOP, sealing the gas inside the borehole. However, this automatic BOP is a normally open type, meaning it remains open during drilling. When gas is detected surging from the borehole opening, the time available for the BOP to close is very limited, leading to the possibility of delayed closure and gas leakage. Therefore, the risk of exceeding gas limits still exists. Medium-pressure air drilling in soft, fractured coal seams often generates a large amount of drill cuttings. Currently, manual cleaning is the primary method, resulting in high labor intensity for workers and the fact that cleaning drill cuttings typically takes up drilling time, impacting drilling efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0036] This invention discloses an automatic slag removal system and method for rotary sealing blowout prevention and dust suppression at the borehole opening of a coal mine compressed air drilling rig, comprising a borehole pipe, a borehole four-way valve, a first sealing component, a second sealing component, a filter-type negative pressure bag, and an automatic slag removal device. The automatic slag removal device includes a flexible spiral slag remover, a slag removal hose, a slag collection port, a pneumatic motor, and a slag collection device. During drilling, the second sealing component tightly adheres to the drill rod to achieve a seal and moves forward with the drill rod as it rotates. The drilling rig drives the drill rod to rotate and drill forward. When the drilling stroke ends, the first sealing component tightly adheres to the drill rod and seals. Then, the second sealing component is separated from the drill rod and moves backward to its original position. The second sealing component then tightly adheres to the drill rod again to seal, and the first sealing component is then separated from the drill rod. The drilling rig drives the drill rod to rotate and drill forward, repeating this process until the borehole reaches the designed depth. During drilling, a large amount of dust returned from the borehole reaches the four-way cavity at the borehole opening. Under the suction of negative pressure, the solid particles in the dust are filtered out through a filter-type negative pressure bag. The filtered dust and gas enter the main negative pressure pipeline. Drill cuttings generated during drilling are transported to the drill cuttings collection device via the four-way slag discharge port at the borehole opening and an automatic slag discharge device. This system can achieve full rotary sealing during drilling, is suitable for drilling tools of various structures, prevents gas outbursts that could cause accidents, and effectively separates solid particles from the dust during drilling, preventing them from entering the main negative pressure pipeline and clogging it. In addition, it achieves fully enclosed automatic transfer of drill cuttings, improving the level of automation and reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0037] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic slag removal system for rotary sealing blowout prevention and dust removal at the borehole of a coal mine compressed air drilling hole. The system is characterized by including a borehole pipe 1, a borehole four-way connector 2, a first sealing component 3, a second sealing component 4, a filter-type negative pressure bag 5, and an automatic slag removal device 6.

[0040] The orifice pipe 1, orifice cross 2, first sealing assembly 3, and second sealing assembly 4 are sequentially arranged from the orifice to the outside of the drill pipe and fitted over it. The front end of the orifice cross 2 is connected to the orifice pipe 1 via a flange, the rear end to the first sealing assembly 3, the upper end to a filter-type negative pressure bag 5, and the lower end to an automatic slag removal device 6. Both the first sealing assembly 3 and the second sealing assembly 4 can alternately and automatically seal the outer annulus of the drill pipe according to the drilling progress to prevent gas and coal dust from escaping during drilling. The second sealing assembly 4 can move forward with the drill pipe during drilling and... After drilling is completed, it moves backward to reset; the filter-type negative pressure bag 5 can filter solid particles in the dust generated during drilling and introduce the filtered dust and gas into the main negative pressure pipeline 8 through the circular steel pipe 503 to achieve filtering and dust removal of drilling dust and gas and pre-extraction of gas, thereby preventing gas from surging out and causing gas over-limit accidents. At the same time, it can effectively prevent a large number of solid particles from being sucked into the main negative pressure pipeline 8, causing blockage of the negative pressure system; the automatic slag discharge device 6 can automatically transfer the drilling slag that falls from the orifice four-way 2 in a fully enclosed manner, improving the level of automation and reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0041] The first sealing component 3 and the second sealing component 4 are connected by a plug-in connection, and the second sealing component 4 can be axially moved and reset by the return spring 3110.

[0042] The first sealing assembly 3 includes a first cylindrical outer shell 311 and a first sealing inner cylinder 312 therein, and a first bearing 313 between the two. A first expandable bladder 314 is provided on the inner wall of the first sealing inner cylinder 312, and a first sealing velvet 315 is provided on the outer side of the first expandable bladder 314.

[0043] The second sealing assembly 4 includes a second cylindrical outer shell 411 and a second sealing inner cylinder 412 therein, and a second bearing 413 between the two. A second expandable bladder 414 is provided on the inner wall of the second sealing inner cylinder 412, and a second sealing velvet 415 is provided on the outer side of the second expandable bladder 414.

[0044] The front end of the first cylindrical outer shell 311 is connected to the rear port of the orifice four-way 2 via a flange. The side wall is provided with a first air inlet 316, and the rear side wall is provided with an annular groove 317 with a rear opening. The first cylindrical outer shell 311 and the first sealed inner cylinder 312 are unidirectionally moved by the first bearing 313 and sealed by the first sealing ring 319. The side wall of the first sealed inner cylinder 312 is provided with a first inner air inlet 318, which can connect to the inside of the first expandable bag 314 and the first air inlet 316. More specifically, the first sealing ring 319 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the first bearing 313, and the first air inlet 316 and the first inner air inlet 318 are both located between the two first sealing rings 319.

[0045] The front end of the second cylindrical outer shell 411 can be inserted into the annular groove 317, and an axial return spring 3110 is provided between its front end and the bottom of the annular groove 317. The side wall is provided with a second air inlet 416. The second cylindrical outer shell 411 can move axially along the annular groove 317, and the moving distance is the length of a single drilling stroke. The second cylindrical outer shell 411 and the second sealed inner cylinder 412 achieve single movement through the second bearing 413 and achieve sealing through the second sealing ring 418. The side wall of the second sealed inner cylinder 412 is provided with a second inner air inlet 417, which can connect to the second expandable bladder 414 and the second air inlet 416. More specifically, the second sealing ring 418 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the second bearing 413, and the second air inlet 416 and the second inner air inlet 417 are both located between the two second sealing rings 418.

[0046] During drilling, compressed air is alternately supplied to the first sealing component 3 and the second sealing component 4, causing the expandable bag to expand and bulge. The sealing cloth fits tightly against the drill rod to achieve a seal, preventing gas and coal dust from overflowing from the gap during drilling and solving the problem of excessive gas during drilling.

[0047] The first expandable bladder 314 and the second expandable bladder 414 are made of deformable material, which can expand rapidly under the action of high pressure gas, with a pressure bearing capacity of not less than 1 MPa, and at the same time have good wear resistance; the first sealing fleece 315 and the second sealing fleece 415 are made of soft fleece material, which has good wear resistance.

[0048] The filter-type negative pressure bag 5 has two layers, an inner layer 501 that is breathable but does not allow solid particles to pass through, and an outer layer 502 that is not breathable. The upper port of the four-way valve 2 is connected to the space between the inner layer 501 and the outer layer 502. A circular steel pipe 503 extends from the inner layer 501 and connects to the main negative pressure pipeline 8. The side wall of the circular steel pipe 503 located in the inner layer 501 section has mesh. A large amount of dust and gas generated during drilling is drawn into the filter-type negative pressure bag 5 through the four-way valve 2 under negative pressure. Under the filtering effect of the inner layer 501, the solid particles in the dust are filtered out, while the filtered dust and gas pass through the inner layer 501 into the circular steel pipe 503, and finally into the main negative pressure pipeline 8. This achieves filtration and dust removal of drilling dust and gas, as well as pre-extraction of gas, thereby preventing gas outbursts and gas exceeding limits. At the same time, it can effectively prevent a large amount of solid particles from being sucked into the main negative pressure pipeline 8, causing blockage of the negative pressure system.

[0049] The automatic cuttings removal device 6 includes a cuttings removal hose 601, a cuttings collection port 602, a flexible spiral cuttings remover 603, a pneumatic motor 604, and a cuttings collection device 605. The cuttings collection port 602 is connected to the cuttings removal hose 601, and its upper end is connected to a four-way connector 2. The flexible spiral cuttings remover 603 is located inside the cuttings removal hose 601, and the pneumatic motor 604 drives the flexible spiral cuttings remover 603 to rotate. The cuttings collection device 605 is located at the end of the cuttings removal hose 601. During drilling, high-pressure gas drives the pneumatic motor 604, which in turn drives the flexible spiral cuttings remover 603 to rotate. The cuttings that fall from the four-way connector 2 into the cuttings collection port 602 are then transferred through the cuttings removal hose 601 to the cuttings collection device 605, achieving fully enclosed automatic transfer of the cuttings, improving the level of automation, and reducing the labor intensity of operators. The slag discharge hose 601 is made of flexible material, and the spiral slag discharger has a flexible structure, which can be used for the transfer of drilling slag on various routes.

[0050] This embodiment describes the use of a rotary sealing blowout prevention, dust suppression, and automatic slag removal system at the borehole inlet of an underground compressed air drill in a coal mine for drilling operations. The specific steps include:

[0051] Step 1: Connect the orifice pipe, orifice four-way valve, first sealing assembly, second sealing assembly, filter negative pressure bag, and automatic slag discharge device in sequence;

[0052] Step 2: Connect the first sealing assembly, the second sealing assembly, and the pneumatic motor to the air supply pipeline respectively; connect the filter-type negative pressure bag and the upper end of the circular steel pipe to the main negative pressure pipeline;

[0053] Step 3: Open the air supply valve of the air supply pipeline to supply air to the pneumatic motor. The flexible spiral slag remover starts to rotate. The drill cuttings generated during the drilling process are transferred to the drill cuttings collection device through the rotating flexible spiral slag remover and the slag removal hose.

[0054] Step 4: Open the air supply valve of the air supply pipeline to supply air to the second sealing component. Wait for the second expandable bladder to expand and bulge, and the second sealing cloth to fit tightly against the drill rod.

[0055] Step 5: Start drilling. When the drilling rig feed device finishes one stroke of drilling, open the air supply valve of the air supply line to supply air to the first sealing component. When the first expandable bladder expands and the first sealing cloth is tightly attached to the drill rod, open the air supply line depressurization valve to depressurize the second sealing component. The second expandable bladder contracts and the second sealing cloth separates from the drill rod. Under the action of the return spring, the second sealing component returns to its initial position.

[0056] Step 6: Open the air supply valve of the air supply line to supply air to the second sealing component. When the second expandable bladder expands and the second sealing cloth is tightly attached to the drill rod, open the pressure relief valve of the air supply line to depressurize the first sealing component, the first expandable bladder contracts, the first sealing cloth separates from the drill rod, and the next stroke of drilling begins.

[0057] Step 7: Repeat steps 5 and 6 to complete the drilling.
