Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] As shown Figures 1-4 in the figure, the utility model provides a technical solution: a cuttings collection device for coalbed methane exploration, which includes a housing 1. A plurality of support legs 2 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the housing 1. A rotating shaft 9 is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the housing 1, and the rotating shaft 9 is inclined. As shown Figure 3 in the figure, in order to achieve the effect of the inclination of the rotating shaft 9, the lower left corner and the upper right corner of the housing 1 are inclined. A motor 3 for rotating the rotating shaft 9 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the housing 1. A feeding assembly 6 is arranged in the left part of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The user can add the raw material to be cleaned, that is, the mixture of mud and cuttings, into the device through the feeding assembly 6. A plurality of connecting rods 91 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 9. One ends of the plurality of connecting rods 91 away from the rotating shaft 9 are commonly fixedly connected to a spiral pipe 8. The axis of the spiral pipe 8 coincides with that of the rotating shaft 9, that is, the spiral pipe 8 is inclined like the rotating shaft 9. Therefore, when the motor 3 works, the spiral pipe 8 can be driven to continuously rotate through the rotating shaft 9.

[0027] Specifically, a partition plate 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The partition plate 11 divides the bottom part of the inner cavity of the housing 1 into left and right two parts for dry-wet separation. A heating device 7 is arranged at the lower part of the right end of the partition plate 11. A storage box 4 is arranged at the upper part of the right end of the partition plate 11. The storage box 4 is slidably connected to the front wall of the inner cavity of the housing 1. A handle is arranged at the front end of the storage box 4. The user can pull out the storage box 4 through the handle to take out the cuttings. The heating device 7 is a prior art and can continuously heat to dry the cuttings in the storage box 4.

[0028] In addition, as shown Figure 2 and Figure 3 in the figure, ventilation openings 5 are arranged at the positions corresponding to the storage box 4 and the heating device 7 on the right end of the housing 1. When the storage box 4 works, the hot and humid air can be discharged through the corresponding ventilation openings 5. When the heating device 7 works, it can dissipate heat through the corresponding ventilation openings 5.

[0029] Furthermore, as shown Figures 3-6 in the figure, the feeding assembly 6 includes an inclined first straight connecting pipe 62. The first straight connecting pipe 62 is fixedly installed at the lower left corner of the inner surface of the housing 1. The first straight connecting pipe 62 is sleeved on the lower part of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 9. The upper side of the middle part of the outer surface of the first straight connecting pipe 62 is also fixedly connected to a second straight connecting pipe 61. The second straight connecting pipe 61 is communicated with the first straight connecting pipe 62. The upper end of the second straight connecting pipe 61 passes through the top wall of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The upper end of the second straight connecting pipe 61 is fixedly connected to a feeding funnel 65. A bearing 64 is arranged at the end of the first straight connecting pipe 62 away from the motor 3. During operation, the raw material can be added to the device through the feeding funnel 65, and the raw material will enter the first straight connecting pipe 62 along the feeding funnel 65 and the second straight connecting pipe 61.

[0030] In addition, a connecting pipe 81 is jointly provided between the lower end of the spiral pipe 8 and the bearing 64. The upper part of the outer surface of the connecting pipe 81 is bent in the same shape as the spiral pipe 8, and the lower part of the outer surface of the connecting pipe 81 is inclined coaxially with the first straight connecting pipe 62. It can be simply understood that the connecting pipe 81 is the part for connecting the spiral pipe 8 and the first straight connecting pipe 62. The lower part of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 9 sequentially passes through the connecting pipe 81, the bearing 64, and the first straight connecting pipe 62.

[0031] Furthermore, a spiral blade 63 is fixed to the lower part of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 9. The upper side of the outer surface of the spiral blade 63 corresponds to the bent part of the connecting pipe 81. The spiral blade 63 will rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 9. While the spiral blade 63 is continuously rotating, the raw materials entering the first straight connecting pipe 62 from the second straight connecting pipe 61 will be conveyed upward by the spiral blade 63 until they reach the uppermost end of the spiral blade 63 and fall into the bent part of the connecting pipe 81, and then enter the spiral pipe 8.

[0032] In addition, a plurality of hollow holes are formed on the outer surface of the spiral pipe 8. The diameter of the hollow holes is smaller than the diameter of the cuttings. The upper side of the outer surface of the spiral pipe 8 corresponds to the upper side of the storage box 4.

[0033] Furthermore, in the working state, the left cavity of the outer shell 1 is filled with a cleaning liquid, and the liquid level of the cleaning liquid is not higher than the upper end surface of the partition plate 11. Therefore, as Figure 7 shown, when the cuttings are in the spiral pipe 8, with the continuous rotation of the spiral pipe 8, they will be conveyed along the bent part of the connecting pipe 81 and the contour of the spiral pipe 8. For each revolution of the rotating shaft 9, the raw materials in the spiral pipe 8 are advanced forward by one pitch until they fall into the storage box 4. Its principle is the same as that of an Archimedes screw pump. And during the continuous rotation of the spiral pipe 8, the mud in the raw materials will be washed out through the hollow holes on the surface of the spiral pipe 8.

[0034] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: For the cuttings collection device for coalbed methane exploration, when the motor 3 is working, it can drive the spiral pipe 8 to rotate continuously through the rotating shaft 9. The user can add raw materials to the device through the feeding funnel 65. The raw materials will enter the first straight connecting pipe 62 along the feeding funnel 65 and the second straight connecting pipe 61. While the spiral blade 63 is continuously rotating with the rotating shaft 9, the raw materials will be conveyed upward by the spiral blade 63 until they reach the uppermost end of the spiral blade 63 and fall into the bent part of the connecting pipe 81, and then enter the spiral pipe 8;

[0035] When the cuttings are in the spiral pipe 8, with the continuous rotation of the spiral pipe 8, they will be conveyed along the bent part of the connecting pipe 81 and the contour of the spiral pipe 8 until they fall into the storage box 4. And during the continuous rotation of the spiral pipe 8, the mud in the raw materials will be washed out through the hollow holes on the surface of the spiral pipe 8;

[0036] After the cleaned cuttings fall into the storage box 4, the heating device 7 will continuously heat to dry the cuttings in the storage box 4.

[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification only illustrate the principles of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
