Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coal mine safety, in particular to a device for testing the solidity coefficient of frozen coal samples containing gas. Background Technique
[0002] Coal and gas outburst seriously affects the safety production of coal mines. In particular, the prevention and control of gas outburst during cross-cut uncovering of coal seams and in geological structure zones have become difficult problems that China urgently needs to overcome. The existing measures for preventing and controlling coal and gas outburst pay more attention to reducing the energy storage of coal seams and do not attach enough importance to improving the strength of coal bodies. Gas pressure and coal body strength are two key factors affecting coal and gas outburst. On the one hand, cryogenic freezing can inhibit gas desorption - reduce gas pressure, and on the other hand, it can improve the strength of coal bodies. Inspired by this, a new idea of freezing for outburst prevention has emerged: while implementing gas drainage measures according to regulations, artificial freezing is carried out on local areas such as cross-cut uncovering of coal seams or geological structure zones to quickly reduce the energy storage of coal seams and improve the strength of coal bodies, and effectively eliminate the gas outburst risk at cross-cut uncovering locations and in geological structure zones. The solidity coefficient of coal can characterize the strength characteristics of coal bodies, reflect the damage effect of coal bodies against in-situ stress and gas pressure, and the resistance to the initiation of coal and gas outburst.
[0003] Whether the measures of coal seam water injection plus artificial freezing can improve the strength of coal bodies or how much the strength of coal bodies has increased need to be proved through experiments. This involves a device for testing the solidity coefficient of frozen coal samples containing gas, which can test the solidity coefficient of coal samples under different low-temperature environments to explore the influence of low-temperature environments on the solidity coefficient of coal samples, and lay a theoretical foundation for mastering the freezing response characteristics of coal samples containing gas and the freezing outburst prevention mechanism.
[0004] However, the existing devices for testing the solidity coefficient of coal samples can only test the collected coal samples at room temperature. In terms of current instruments and equipment, it is difficult to test the solidity coefficient of frozen coal samples. The existing devices mainly have the following deficiencies:
[0005] 1. The frozen coal samples may melt after being taken out;
[0006] 2. Even if the frozen coal samples are taken out, the coal samples may melt when the drop hammer breaks the coal samples;
[0007] 3. The coal contains moisture, and the coal powder is extremely easy to become mud and cannot be screened;
[0008] 4. Manually operating the drop hammer is cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious, and the test error is relatively large;
[0009] 5. Most of the existing experiments test the solidity coefficient of coal samples when the coal body is exposed to the air, and cannot truly reflect the strength of coal bodies containing gas. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2, when it is necessary to test the solidity coefficient of the frozen coal sample, the temperature inside the freezing cabinet 1 is adjusted by the refrigeration mechanism 101 to, for example, -20°C.

The transparent cabinet door is opened, and each time 50 g of frozen coal sample with a particle size of 1 - 3 mm is added to the cylindrical barrel 4. The transparent cabinet door is closed, and then the electromagnet 14 is powered off to make the drop hammer fall freely and impact the frozen coal sample. Each frozen coal sample is impacted 5 times by the drop hammer; after the impact, the cylindrical barrel 4 is driven by the first servo motor 8 to move upward until the bottom of the cylindrical barrel 4 is above the push plate 10. Then, the ejector rod of the electric push rod 11 is reciprocated to drive the push plate 10 to push the crushed frozen coal sample at the top of the support column 3 onto the concave sieve 20; after all five frozen coal samples are crushed, the vibrator 23 is started, and the frozen coal sample with a particle size less than 0.5 mm is screened out through the concave sieve 20 and collected by a graduated cylinder with a diameter of 23 mm.
