Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of geothermal water collection devices, in particular to a simple geothermal water collection device. Background Art
[0002] Geothermal energy is a green and clean resource, and the development and utilization of hydrothermal geothermal resources is a key approach. Clarifying the mechanisms of geothermal water formation can provide a basis for the environmentally friendly and sustainable development of geothermal resources. Associated gases, often containing carbon dioxide, methane, and helium, are common in geothermal wells and other water wells, making them valuable research targets for geological researchers. Analyzing the composition and isotopic characteristics of these gases can reveal deep geological settings and structural features, and even reveal hidden natural gas reservoirs. Therefore, the collection and acquisition of these gases is essential.
[0003] Currently, collecting these gases typically involves water drainage. To do this, first fill the gas collecting bottle with water, cover the bottle mouth with a glass sheet, and then stand it upside down in a sink. Once bubbles are continuously and evenly released from the tube opening, insert the tube into the water-filled gas collecting bottle. Once bubbles are seen emerging from the outer edge of the bottle mouth and the liquid level drops to the bottle mouth, the gas has been fully collected. At this point, cover the bottle mouth with a glass sheet, remove the bottle from the water, and place it upright or upside down on a table.
[0004] However, geothermal water wells and other wells usually encounter a mixture of gas and water, with more water and less gas. Using this method, the small amount of gas is difficult to collect; at the same time, the water temperature in geothermal water wells is relatively high, and using the drainage collection method under high temperature poses many safety hazards to operators. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a simple geothermal water collection device to address the above technical problems.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a simple geothermal water collection device, including a geothermal well, a water pump, a pipeline, a water collection channel and a collection bucket, a bucket cover is installed on the collection bucket, an upper clamp and a lower clamp are installed on the collection bucket, a mounting ring is provided on the lower clamp, a rotating rod is rotatably connected in the mounting ring, a plurality of fixing plates 1 are installed on the upper clamp, and a plurality of fixing plates 2 are installed on the rotating rod, the fixing plates 1 and the fixing plates 2 correspond to each other one by one, both fixing plates 1 and 2 are provided with bolt holes, and bolt connectors are threadedly connected in the bolt holes, and also includes a handle, both ends of the handle are provided with through holes, the bolt connectors pass through the through holes, the fixing plates 2 are symmetrically arranged around the collection bucket, and the spacing between the fixing plates 1 and 2 is the same as the spacing between the two symmetrically arranged fixing plates 2.
[0007] Preferably, both the upper clamp and the lower clamp are provided with thermometer slots, and thermometers are installed in the thermometer slots.
[0008] Preferably, the collection barrel is a 6L high-temperature resistant plastic barrel.
[0009] Preferably, there are several thermometer slots, and the thermometer slots are located on a side close to the first fixing plate.
[0010] Preferably, the thermometer slot is made of high-temperature resistant elastic rubber.
[0011] Preferably, an anti-scalding handle is installed on the handle.
[0012] Compared with the existing technology, this technical solution has at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The handle is mounted on the fixing plate 1 and the fixing plate 2 by means of a bolt connector, so that the handle on the collection bucket is side-mounted. By pressing the handle, the collection bucket can be pressed into the water collection channel for collection, thus preventing the staff from direct contact with the geothermal water.
[0014] After the collection is completed, the two ends of the handle are connected to the two symmetrically arranged fixing plates through bolt connectors, so that the collection barrel can be turned into an inverted state with the barrel lid facing downward. Therefore, the larger capacity of the collection barrel can collect more associated gas. Compared with the previous method of sealing only with the barrel lid, the inverted method ensures that the gas-water mixture in the geothermal water is not affected by the external environment and does not cause water chemical changes and gas escape.
[0015] By rotating the rod and installing it in the mounting ring, when the handle is changed from side mounting to inverted mounting, the bolt fasteners on one fixing plate are removed, and then the handle is rotated to install the removed end of the handle on the second fixing plate, which is more convenient and quick;
[0016] By setting up thermometers installed in multiple thermometer slots, the temperature of geothermal water can be recorded while collecting associated gas, thereby making the experimental records more accurate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a simple geothermal water collection device, including a geothermal well 1, a water pump 2, a pipeline 3, a water collection channel 4 and a collection bucket 5. A bucket cover 51 is installed on the collection bucket 5, an upper clamp 6 and a lower clamp 7 are installed on the collection bucket 5, and a mounting ring 8 is provided on the lower clamp 7. A rotating rod 9 is rotatably connected in the mounting ring 8. A plurality of fixing plates 1 61 are installed on the upper clamp 6, and a plurality of fixing plates 2 91 are installed on the rotating rod 9. The fixing plates 1 61 and the fixing plates 2 91 correspond to each other one by one. Both the fixing plates 1 61 and the fixing plates 2 91 are provided with bolt holes 62, and the bolt connectors 63 are threadedly connected to the bolt holes 62. The device also includes a handle 10, and both ends of the handle 10 are provided with through holes, and the bolt connectors 63 pass through the through holes. The fixing plates 2 91 are symmetrically arranged around the collection bucket 5, and the spacing between the fixing plates 1 61 and the fixing plates 2 91 is the same as the spacing between the two symmetrically arranged fixing plates 2 91.
[0024] In this embodiment, after the geothermal well 1 is completed, the high-temperature groundwater in the well is transported through the pipeline 3 by the water pump 2. During the transportation, it passes through the water collection channel 4 and is collected in the water collection bucket 5. Before collection, the two ends of the handle 10 are respectively installed on the fixing plate 1 61 of the upper clamp 6 and the fixing plate 2 91 of the lower clamp 7 via the bolt connector 63, so that the handle 10 is mounted on the collection bucket 5 from the side. During collection, the lid 51 of the collection bucket 5 is opened, and the sampler holds the handle 10 and places the collection bucket 5 into the geothermal water collection channel 4, allowing the geothermal water to submerge the collection bucket 5. As a result, the geothermal water is automatically pressed into the collection bucket 5. After observing that the water is full, the collection bucket 5 is quickly removed, and the bottle body of the collection bucket 5 is gently squeezed to ensure that it is full, and the bottle cap 51 is immediately screwed back on. After the collection is completed, to prevent a small amount of gas from escaping and to reduce the inconvenience of sample extraction, the two ends of the handle 10 are installed on the two symmetrical fixing plates 91, so that the handle 10 is mounted from the side to the reverse, making it easier to carry it back to the laboratory. When the handle 10 is changed from side mounting to reverse mounting, it is only necessary to remove the bolt connector 63 between the fixing plate 1 61 and one end of the handle 10. Then, the side-mounted handle 10 drives the rotating rod 9 connected to the fixing plate 2 91 to rotate 180° within the mounting ring 8. When it is then changed from side mounting, the end of the handle 10 connected to the fixing plate 2 91 is rotated 90° around the bolt connector 63. Finally, the unmounted end of the handle 10 is mounted through the bolt connector 63, thereby conveniently changing the handle 10 from side mounting to reverse mounting.
[0025] In some embodiments, to further improve the accuracy of experimental data, a thermometer slot 11 is installed on both the upper clamp 6 and the lower clamp 7. A thermometer 12 is installed in the thermometer slot 11. After the collection barrel 5 is collected and the bottle cap 51 is screwed back on, the temperature of the thermometer 12 can be observed to record the data.
[0026] In some embodiments, in order to enable the collection barrel 5 to collect sufficient associated gas, the collection barrel 5 is preferably a 6L high-temperature resistant plastic barrel. It is worth mentioning that the collection barrel 5 should be a disposable product.
[0027] In some embodiments, to ensure the accuracy of the thermometer 12, multiple thermometer slots 11 are provided, and the thermometer slots 11 are located on the side close to the fixing plate 1 61. This allows the thermometer 12 to be installed at the end away from the side handle 10, allowing the thermometer 12 to measure the temperature of geothermal water at a deeper level.
[0028] In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the thermometer 12, the thermometer slot 11 is preferably made of high-temperature resistant elastic rubber. Therefore, due to the elasticity of the thermometer slot 11, the thermometer slot 11 can be reset after the thermometer 12 is installed to lock the thermometer 12 and prevent it from falling off.
[0029] In some embodiments, in order to further prevent the high-temperature geothermal water from harming the collectors, a scald-proof handle 101 is installed on the handle 10 .

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
