[0017] In this embodiment of the invention, a rapid downhole measurement device and method for coal seam gas pressure are provided. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 As shown.
[0018] A rapid downhole measurement device for coal seam gas pressure includes a flexible bag 1, a one-way valve 2, a pressure sensor 3, a sealing rod 4, a support rod 5, and a data acquisition and transmission unit 6.
[0019] The flexible bag 1 is a bag-shaped structure made of flexible material with a certain strength and is airtight. The open end of the flexible bag 1 is provided with a first interface 11.
[0020] One-way valve 2 is located at the end inside the flexible bag 1, and the air inlet of one-way valve 2 is connected to the outside of the flexible bag 1. Gas outside the flexible bag 1 can enter the flexible bag 1 through one-way valve 2, but gas inside the flexible bag 1 cannot escape through one-way valve 2.
[0021] Pressure sensors 3 are disposed on the inner wall of the flexible bag 1. Multiple pressure sensors 3 are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the flexible bag 1. Gas pressure is sensed by multiple pressure sensors 3, and mutual calibration is performed between the pressure sensors 3 to avoid test errors caused by the failure of a single pressure sensor 3.
[0022] Placing the pressure sensor 3 inside the flexible bag 1 can prevent external interference and achieve accurate sensing of gas pressure.
[0023] The sealing rod 4 is a cylindrical structure. The sealing rod 4 is used to seal the opening of the drill hole 7. The inner end of the sealing rod 4 is provided with a second interface 41.
[0024] One end of the support rod 5 is connected to the inner end of the sealing rod 4. The support rod 5 extends into the interior of the flexible bag 1 from the first interface 11 and supports the flexible bag 1. The first interface 11 is connected to the second interface 41.
[0025] The data acquisition and transmission unit 6 is connected to the pressure sensor 3 via the signal cable 8, and is used to acquire and transmit the pressure data uploaded by the pressure sensor 3.
[0026] The signal cable 8 is located inside the support rod 5 and the sealing rod 4 to protect the signal cable 8 and prevent it from being exposed and damaged by impacts inside the drill hole 7.
[0027] The support rod 5 is configured as multiple rods. Two adjacent support rods 5 are connected end to end by a snap or thread, and the last support rod 5 is connected to the inner end of the sealing rod 4 by a snap or thread.
[0028] One end of the signal cable 8 passing through the inside of the first support rod 5 is connected to the pressure sensor 3; the two ends of the support rod 5 are respectively provided with a first signal connector and a second signal connector, and the two ends of the signal cable 8 are respectively connected to the first signal connector and the second signal connector; the two adjacent support rods 5 are connected by the first signal connector and the second signal connector; the inner end of the sealing rod 4 is provided with a third signal connector, and the third signal connector is connected to the data acquisition and transmission unit 6 via the signal cable 8; the second signal connector and the third signal connector of the last support rod 5 are connected by signal.
[0029] Thus, a signal cable 8 is installed inside each support rod 5 and the sealing rod 4. During the assembly and connection between the support rods 5 and between the support rod 5 and the sealing rod, signal connection is achieved between the data acquisition and transmission unit 6 and the pressure sensor 3 through the signal connection between the first signal connector and the second signal connector, and between the second signal connector and the third signal connector.
[0030] The data acquisition and transmission unit 6 is located inside the sealing rod 4 to protect the data acquisition and transmission unit 6.
[0031] The data acquisition and transmission unit 6 includes a controller 61, a storage module 62, and a data transmission module 63. The controller 61 is connected to the pressure sensor 3, the storage module 62, and the data transmission module 63 via signal cables. The pressure sensor 3 uploads pressure data to the controller 61 and stores it in the storage module 62. The data transmission module 63 transmits the pressure data to the data receiving terminal. Specifically, the data transmission module 63 is a Bluetooth wireless transmission module, and the data receiving terminal is an explosion-proof smartphone. The data transmission module 63 communicates with the explosion-proof smartphone via Bluetooth to transmit the pressure data.
[0032] The sealing rod 4 also houses a battery 60, which powers the data acquisition and transmission unit 6 and the pressure sensor 3.
[0033] A rapid downhole method for measuring coal seam gas pressure, using the rapid downhole measurement device for coal seam gas pressure described in this embodiment, comprises the following steps: S1. Drilling borehole 7 in the coal seam for gas pressure measurement.
[0034] S2. Insert the first support rod 5 into the interior of the flexible bag 1 through the first interface 11. The first support rod 5 drives the flexible bag 1 to extend into the drill hole 7. Then connect the subsequent support rods 5 in sequence and insert them into the interior of the flexible bag 1. Each subsequent support rod 5 drives the flexible bag 1 to extend into the drill hole 7. The last support rod 5 is connected to the inner end of the sealing rod 4. Connect the first interface 11 to the second interface 41. At the opening of the drill hole 7, seal the circumferential sidewall of the sealing rod 4 with the sealing material 9 or the sealing device.
[0035] S3. Gas from borehole 7 enters the flexible bag 1 through the inlet of one-way valve 2. The flexible bag 1 expands, and the pressure sensor 3 on the inner wall of the flexible bag 1 senses the gas pressure. The data acquisition and transmission unit 6 collects and transmits the pressure data to the data receiving terminal. When the adsorption and desorption of gas in the coal seam surrounding borehole 7 reaches equilibrium, the gas pressure sensed by the pressure sensor 3 in the flexible bag 1 reaches its maximum, and the flexible bag 1 no longer deforms. The pressure at this time is the coal seam gas pressure.
