[0028] like Figure 1-3 A gas collecting device for collecting helium in mud is shown, including a gas collecting chamber 100, on the side of which a plurality of buoyancy structures 200 are arranged. The buoyancy structure 200 is a structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The purpose is to allow the buoyancy structure 200 to be partially immersed in the mud and reduce the impact force caused by the mud flow on the buoyancy structure.

[0029] The air collecting chamber 100 is surrounded by external enclosures on all sides and the top, and the total length of the air collecting chamber 100 is not greater than the length of the buoyancy structure 200 .

[0030] An inclined baffle 110 is provided at the front side, and the inclined baffle 110 is an inclined trapezoidal baffle.

[0031] A guide plate 120 is provided at the rear side of the air collecting chamber 100.

[0034] The gas extraction pipe 150 is connected to the on-site gas collection device to facilitate on-site gas collection for detection.

[0035] The buoyancy structure 200 is a first buoy 210 and a second buoy 220 welded on both sides of the gas collecting chamber 100.
