Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of underground shallow gas detection, and in particular to a shallow gas collection device that automatically separates water and gas. Background Art

[0002] Shallow underground hazardous gases refer to natural gas, primarily methane, produced by a series of physical and biochemical reactions within underground organic matter. Shallow gas is typically buried at depths of less than 1,500 meters. This flammable and explosive gas can easily cause engineering hazards and production safety accidents when disturbed by engineering unloading. Therefore, drilling and degassing are essential for underground construction projects in areas rich in shallow gas. Given that over 90% of shallow gas is methane, which is flammable and can be used as fuel, collecting shallow gas during the drilling and degassing process has significant economic value.

[0003] Although shallow gas is relatively shallow, it is often overlain by clayey soils with poor permeability, resulting in high shallow gas pressure. During the borehole degassing process, gas and water are ejected simultaneously at high speeds under pressure, often resulting in only a water-gas mixture being collected, affecting gas collection and purity. Separating the water and gas during the borehole degassing process to collect pure gas is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a shallow gas collection device that automatically separates water and gas, so as to solve the problem in the related art that only water-gas mixtures can be collected but pure gas cannot be collected.

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0017] The terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0018] like Figure 1As shown, a shallow gas collection device for automatically separating water and gas includes a probe rod 9, the lower end of the probe rod 9 is provided with a water-permeable and breathable mud guard tube 4 and a probe side wall 2, the top of the probe side wall 2 is provided with a probe 1, the upper end of the water-permeable and breathable mud guard tube 4 is connected to the bottom end of the probe rod 9, and the lower end of the water-permeable and breathable mud guard tube 4 is inserted into the cavity formed by the probe side wall 2, and a cycloidal reducer 6 is provided in the middle of the cavity of the probe rod 9, the lower end of the cycloidal reducer 6 is communicated with the water-permeable and breathable mud guard tube 4, and the upper end of the cycloidal reducer 6 is connected to the water storage tank 13 through a plastic conduit 8.

[0019] A bottom support 3 is provided at the bottom end of the water-permeable and air-permeable mud guard tube 4 , and the bottom support 3 cooperates with a limit block on the top inner side wall of the probe side wall 2 .

[0020] The water-permeable and air-permeable mud guard tube side wall 5 of the water-permeable and air-permeable mud guard tube 4 is provided with air holes.

[0021] A connector 7 is further provided between the upper end of the cyclotron reducer 6 and the plastic conduit 8 .

[0022] A valve 10 is provided between the plastic conduit 8 and the water storage tank 13 .

[0023] An air storage tank 11 is provided on the top of the water storage tank 13 , and a perforated air-permeable partition 12 is provided between the water storage tank 13 and the air storage tank 11 .

[0024] The water-permeable and air-permeable mud-blocking pipe can effectively block mud and sand from flowing into the probe pipe, thereby preventing the probe pipe from being blocked.

[0025] The probe is a conical movable probe, and the probe and the probe rod are slidingly connected. When the probe rod is pulled up, the friction of the surrounding soil separates the probe from the probe rod, and water vapor enters the probe rod from the bottom and surrounding areas.

[0026] The cyclonic reducer is designed with multiple cyclonic water flow channels inside. These channels may be spiral or circuitous, and their main function is to slow down the water flow.

[0027] The number of swirling water flow channels of the swirling reducer can be freely set until the purpose of reducing the speed of the water-gas mixture is achieved.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a method for automatically separating water vapor and collecting shallow gas comprises the following steps:

[0029] Use static pressure equipment to drive the probe 1 into a shallow gas storage area at a certain depth underground, connect the equipment, and open the valve 10.

[0030] Gradually pull up the probe rod 9. The probe 1 is slidably connected to the probe rod 9. When the probe rod is pulled up, the friction of the surrounding soil separates the probe from the probe rod, exposing the water-permeable and air-permeable mud guard tube 4. Gas and water enter the probe rod 9 from around the air-mud guard tube.

[0031] High-speed and high-pressure water-gas mixture enters the main channel.

[0032] A portion of the high-speed and high-pressure water-gas mixture enters the right detour channel 1 and the left detour channel 2.

[0033] Another part of the high-speed and high-pressure water-gas mixture enters and is discharged from the right detour channel 1 and the left detour channel 1.

[0034] The water-gas mixture gushing out from the right detour channel 1 and the left detour channel 1 meets the water-gas mixture passing through the main channel, and the speed of the water-gas mixture decreases.

[0035] A portion of the water-air mixture with reduced velocity continues to pass through the main channel.

[0036] Another part of the water-gas mixture with reduced velocity enters the right circuitous channel 2 and the left circuitous channel 2.

[0037] The water-gas mixture flowing out from the right detour channel 2 and the left detour channel 2 meets the water-gas mixture passing through the main channel again, and the speed of the water-gas mixture is further reduced.

[0038] Similarly, the water-gas mixture is divided into two parts again. One part of the water-gas mixture passes through the right detour channel 3, the left detour channel 3 and the right detour channel 4, the left detour channel 4 again, and meets the water-gas mixture in the main channel, and the speed of the water-gas mixture is reduced again.

[0039] After multiple speed reductions, the low-speed water-gas mixture is transmitted to the plastic conduit 8.

[0040] The low-speed water-gas mixture is introduced into the water storage tank 13 through the valve 10.

[0041] Since the gas in the low-speed water-gas mixture is mainly methane with a low density, the gas floats upward and enters the gas storage tank 11 through the breathable partition 12.

[0042] Finally, the gas is collected in the gas storage tank 11 and the water is collected in the water storage tank 14, thus achieving water-gas separation.

[0043] In summary, the device protected by this application for automatically separating water vapor and collecting shallow gas realizes the automatic collection of shallow gas, providing the possibility for further analysis, testing and effective utilization of shallow gas. In addition, the device has a simple structure, low cost, and is reusable. The collection method is convenient, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0044] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations of the present application are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
