Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coal mining, in particular to a hole sealer for coal mines. Background Art

[0002] As coal mining depths increase, many mines face the challenge of pre-extraction from high-gas, low-permeability coal seams, a serious obstacle to safe production. Gas extraction is the primary method for addressing gas outbursts and outbursts during mining. However, this process can also present challenges such as low extraction concentration, poor efficiency, and short duration. One of the most significant limitations is the sealing capacity of the borehole, which directly impacts extraction effectiveness.

[0003] After the borehole is sealed, after a period of time, the borehole will deform and crack, causing the sealing device to be unable to make close contact with the coal wall, resulting in air leakage and making the borehole ineffective.

[0004] Therefore, commonly used sealing devices and methods all have defects to varying degrees after the initial sealing, which makes it necessary to improve the sealing device. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned technical deficiencies, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a coal mine sealer to solve the technical defect that cracks caused by deformation of the drill hole cannot be sealed again.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a coal mine sealer, including an extraction pipe 1, which is arranged in a borehole for extracting gas. The extraction pipe 1 is provided with a plurality of sealing air bags 2 filled with sealing material, and the space between every two sealing air bags 2 is filled with sealing material.

[0030] Specifically, the plugging material is a mixture of hydrogel and water. The hydrogel includes, but is not limited to, any one of propylene glycol, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and water-soluble urea-formaldehyde resin. When the hydrogel comes into contact with water, it forms a gel-like substance with good pressure resistance, hereinafter referred to as the plugging material. The plugging material penetrates into the cracks surrounding the borehole, effectively improving the sealing performance of the sealing section. The hydrogel also has a certain degree of moisture retention and elasticity. After a period of extraction, it can deform as the borehole deteriorates, maintaining a tight seal against the cracks on the borehole's inner wall.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 6 As shown, a sealing ring 7 is provided at the connection between the blocking airbag 2 and the extraction tube 1 , and the sealing ring 7 is made of stainless steel.

[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, a slurry storage air bag 3 is provided on the extraction pipe 1, and the slurry storage air bag 3 is located between the two blocking air bags 2.

[0033] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4As shown, a water-injected airbag 31 is provided in the slurry storage airbag 3. Correspondingly, the water-injected airbag 31 is connected to the water pump through a water pipe. The crushing pressure of the water-injected airbag 31 is less than the crushing pressure of the slurry storage airbag 31. A hydrosol gel is provided between the slurry storage airbag 3 and the water-injected airbag 31.

[0034] Specifically, a one-way valve may be provided at the connection between the water injection airbag 31 and the water pipe to open and close the water injection.

[0035] The water-injected airbag 31 expands by injecting water. When the pressure reaches the expansion limit, the water-injected airbag 31 ruptures. At this time, the water and the hydrosol gel are mixed to form a blocking material. At this time, water continues to be injected into the slurry storage airbag 3. When the expansion limit is reached, the slurry storage airbag 3 ruptures, and the blocking material flows to the crack to block it.

[0036] After a period of sealing, the borehole may deform and crack. Considering that if the newly added cracks are sealed by continuing to inject water and apply pressure, water will enter the cracks before the hydrogel mixture. Excessive water injection into the coal mine borehole will change the physical and mechanical properties of the coal seam, making it softer and increasing the risk of collapse. To this end, this embodiment uses the following structure to perform multiple sealing:

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a slurry outlet valve 21 is provided on the inner side of the blocking airbag 2, and a pressurizing bag 4 is provided in the blocking airbag 2. Specifically, the pressurizing bag 4 can be an airbag or a water bag.

[0038] The blocking material is directly filled into the blocking airbag 2, or the blocking material in the blocking airbag 2 is generated in the same manner as that of the slurry storage airbag 3, which will not be described in detail here.

[0039] A pressure sensor is installed on the extraction pipe 1 and connected to an external pressure gauge to monitor the pressure in the borehole between the plugging airbags 2. Staff check the pressure gauge daily. When the pressure is less than 2.5MPa, the booster bag 4 is filled with water or inflated with air. After the booster bag 4 expands, it squeezes the plugging material in the plugging airbags 2 outward. At this time, the slurry discharge valve 21 is opened, and the plugging material flows through the slurry discharge valve 21 into the borehole between the two plugging airbags 2. Under the action of pressure, the plugging material flows into the newly added cracks, performing multiple plugging operations.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, although the blocking section can block the cracks with the water-soluble gel mixture, there may still be small cracks in the blocking airbag 2 that cannot be blocked. Therefore, this embodiment further improves the blocking airbag 2, specifically:

[0042] A plurality of interconnected annular airbags 22 are provided on the blocking airbag 2, and a cavity 23 is formed between every two annular airbags 22. The inner side of the annular airbag 22 is opened, and a thin sheet 24 is provided at the opening. Specifically, when the pressure in the blocking airbag 2 is greater than 0.8 MPa, the thin sheet 24 falls off from the opening of the annular airbag 22, and the blocking material in the annular airbag 22 fills the cavity 23 and flows into the crack to block it, thereby reducing the possibility of air leakage from the blocking airbag 2.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, considering that when the hydrogel is mixed with water, if it is not stirred, the mixing time is too long in a static state, and lumps are easily generated, which affects the sealing effect, therefore, this embodiment is further improved on the basis of the first embodiment, specifically:

[0045] Multiple groups of cylindrical capsules 6 are arranged in a circular pattern on the extraction tube 1, each positioned between two sealing airbags 2. Elastic cords 61 are placed between each pair of cylindrical capsules 6, and magnetic plates 62 are attached to each cylindrical capsule 6 to attract each other. Specifically, when the cylindrical capsules 6 are inflated, the elastic cords 61 remain taut. When the cylindrical capsules 6 are deflated, the elastic cords 61 retract, causing the magnetic plates 62 on adjacent cylindrical capsules 6 to attract each other. Before the extraction tube 1 enters the borehole, the cylindrical capsules 6 adhere to the extraction tube 1 through attraction and are placed within the water-injection airbag 31.

[0046] After repeated stirring, the hydrosol gel mixes with water and becomes viscous, which creates resistance to the return of the cylindrical capsule 6 . At this time, the cylindrical capsule 6 is further inflated until it contacts the inner wall of the borehole.

[0047] The cylindrical capsule 6 is further inflated to play a supporting role and prevent the coal seam at the drill hole from collapsing.

[0048] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
