[0002] Coalbed methane is a gas resource that is associated and coexistent with coal. It refers to hydrocarbon gas stored in coal seams, with methane as the main component. It is an unconventional natural gas. Coalbed methane is mainly adsorbed on the surface of coal matrix particles, with some hydrocarbon gas free in coal pores or dissolved in coal seam water. At present, the newly mined coalbed methane contains a lot of water vapor, so the water vapor needs to be separated.
[0003] In the prior art, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems in the technology:
[0004] (1) It is very inconvenient to separate water and gas from coalbed methane, and most water and gas separation equipment has a relatively complex structure and is usually used for precise water and gas separation in the later stage. As a result, there is often a lot of water and gas in the gas pipeline that has not been processed. After condensation, it is easy to form liquid accumulation, which is difficult to deal with in time;
[0005] (2) When the accumulated liquid after condensation accumulates too much, the amount of accumulated liquid inside the device will be too much to be discharged in time. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a water-gas separation device for coalbed methane exploitation, which has the advantages of being able to quickly separate water gas in coalbed methane and effectively treat the accumulated liquid produced after separation, thereby solving the problems raised in the background technology.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The coalbed methane is input into the separation box through the air inlet and hits the gravity separation plate, and the coalbed methane is blocked by the gravity separation plate. At the same time, multiple water guide plates and vertical water guide plates greatly increase the contact area with the coalbed methane, so that the water and coalbed methane mixture flows downward. Since the water droplets have weight and settle downward, the gas moves upward. When passing through the umbrella plate separator one, the larger water droplets entrained by the coalbed methane are separated, and the water droplets condense on the umbrella plate separator one and flow downward. After the rising natural gas passes through the three umbrella plate separators two, it passes through the foam breaking net to separate the fine water droplets entrained by the coalbed methane, so that they condense into larger water droplets and sink. The coalbed methane separated from the water is discharged from the exhaust port, and the sinking liquid also passes through an umbrella plate separator two to break and disperse the sinking liquid, so that the coalbed methane dissolved in the water can overflow, and the descending liquid accumulates at the bottom of the tank, and the liquid is collected, so that the coalbed methane can be discharged from the drain port one. This device can efficiently separate water and gas from coalbed methane.
[0016] 2. By providing an inner sealing cylinder, when the separated liquid is deposited at the bottom of the separation box, when the height of the liquid accumulation becomes higher, the height of the float plate will rise with the increase of the liquid level, and drive the position of the sealing plug to rise. When the height of the sealing plug rises to the drain hole, the sealing state of the sealing plug on the bottom of the inner sealing cylinder is released, so that the liquid is discharged from the inner sealing cylinder through the drain hole, and finally flows out from the second drain port, so that when the liquid level at the bottom of the separation box is too high, it can automatically flow out, effectively avoiding excessive liquid in the separation box, thereby controlling the liquid in the separation box within a certain threshold. At the same time, the setting of the liquid level tube allows the staff to intuitively see the amount of liquid in the separation box. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Among them, the number of the multiple water guide plates 6 is several, and the multiple water guide plates 6 are arranged in an inclined and staggered manner. The bottom end of the gravity separation plate 5 is fixedly connected with several vertical water guide plates 9. The number of the umbrella plate separators 7 is three, and they are located above the umbrella plate separators 8. The air inlet 2 inputs the coalbed methane into the separation box 1 and hits the gravity separation plate 5, and the coalbed methane is blocked by the gravity separation plate 5. At the same time, the multiple water guide plates 6 and the vertical water guide plates 9 greatly increase the contact area with the coalbed methane, so that the water and coalbed methane mixture flows downward. Because the water droplets have weight The downwardly deposited gas moves upward, and when passing through the umbrella plate separator 8, the larger water droplets entrained by the coalbed methane are separated, so that the water droplets condense on the umbrella plate separator 8 and flow downward. The rising natural gas passes through three umbrella plate separators 27, and then passes through the foam breaking net 20 to separate the fine water droplets entrained by the coalbed methane, so that they condense into larger water droplets and sink. The coalbed methane separated from the water is discharged from the exhaust port 4, and the sinking liquid also passes through an umbrella plate separator 27 to break up and disperse the sinking liquid, so that the coalbed methane dissolved in the water can overflow, and the descending liquid accumulates at the bottom of the tank.
[0025] The top of the foam-breaking net 20 is fixedly connected to a vertical pole 21, the top of the air cylinder 3 is threadedly connected to a cover 19, the inner wall of the cover 19 abuts against the top of the vertical pole 21, and the foam-breaking net 20 can be easily taken out and replaced after the cover 19 is opened.
[0026] Among them, a liquid level tube 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the separation box 1, and the liquid level tube 10 is connected with the separation box 1, so that the staff can intuitively see the amount of liquid in the separation box 1.
[0027] Among them, the inner bottom of the separation box 1 is fixedly connected with an inner sealing cylinder 13, the inner sealing cylinder 13 corresponds to the position of the drain port 12, a sealing plug 15 is arranged inside the inner sealing cylinder 13, a plurality of drainage holes 14 are opened on the upper part of the side wall of the inner sealing cylinder 13, the top of the sealing plug 15 is fixedly connected with a limit rod 16, the inner bottom of the separation box 1 is fixedly connected with a guide rod 17, the surface of the guide rod 17 is slidably sleeved with a floating plate 18, and the floating plate 18 is fixedly connected with the top of the limit rod 16. When the separated liquid is deposited at the bottom of the separation box 1, when the height of the liquid accumulation becomes higher At this time, the height of the float plate 18 will rise with the increase of the liquid level, and drive the position of the sealing plug 15 to rise. When the height of the sealing plug 15 rises to the drain hole 14, the sealing state of the sealing plug 15 on the bottom of the inner sealing tube 13 is released, so that the liquid is discharged from the inner sealing tube 13 through the drain hole 14, and finally flows out from the drain port 2 12, so that when the liquid level at the bottom of the separation box 1 is too high, it can automatically flow out, effectively avoiding excessive liquid in the separation box 1, thereby controlling the liquid in the separation box 1 within a certain threshold.
[0028] Working principle: when the device is in use, the air inlet 2 inputs the coalbed methane into the separation box 1 and hits the gravity separation plate 5, and the coalbed methane is blocked by the gravity separation plate 5. At the same time, the multiple water guide plates 6 and the vertical water guide plates 9 greatly increase the contact area with the coalbed methane, so that the water and coalbed methane mixture flows downward. Since the water droplets have weight and settle downward, the gas moves upward. When passing through the umbrella plate separator 8, the larger water droplets entrained by the coalbed methane are separated, and the water droplets condense on the umbrella plate separator 8 and flow downward. After the rising natural gas passes through the three umbrella plate separators 7, it passes through the foam breaking net 20 to separate the fine water droplets entrained by the coalbed methane, so that they condense into larger water droplets and sink. The coalbed methane separated from the water is discharged from the exhaust port 4, and the sinking liquid also passes through an umbrella plate separator 7 to break up and disperse the sinking liquid. In this way, the coalbed methane dissolved in the water can overflow, and the descending liquid accumulates at the bottom of the tank and is collected, so that the coalbed methane can be discharged from the drain port 11 conveniently. When the separated liquid is deposited at the bottom of the separation box 1, when the height of the liquid accumulation becomes higher, the height of the float plate 18 will rise with the increase of the liquid level, and drive the position of the sealing plug 15 to rise. When the height of the sealing plug 15 rises to the drain hole 14, the sealing state of the sealing plug 15 on the bottom of the inner sealing tube 13 is released, so that the liquid is discharged from the inner sealing tube 13 through the drain hole 14, and finally flows out from the drain port 2 12, so that when the liquid level at the bottom of the separation box 1 is too high, it can automatically flow out, effectively avoiding excessive liquid in the separation box 1, thereby controlling the liquid in the separation box 1 within a certain threshold.
