[0029] Please see Figure 1-3A geothermal extraction device for dry hot rock includes two bases 1, two pillars 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bases 1, a fixing plate 3 fixedly connected between the tops of the four pillars 2, an installation frame 4 fixedly connected between the upper surfaces of the two bases 1, and a heat exchanger 5 fixedly connected to the inner side of the installation frame 4. The inner side of the fixing plate 3 has an installation opening, and the inner side of the installation opening of the fixing plate 3 has a heat extraction structure for geothermal extraction.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat collection structure includes a shell 6 disposed inside the mounting port of the fixed plate 3, a heat absorption pipe 7 fixedly connected to the bottom shell opening of the shell 6, a sleeve 8 fixedly connected to the top shell opening of the shell 6, a rubber sealing gasket 9 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 8, a gas transmission pipe 10 disposed inside the rubber sealing gasket 9, and a steam pipe 11 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the gas transmission pipe 10.

[0031] The upper surface of the fixing plate 3 is provided with a connecting component for mounting the housing 6.

[0032] It should be noted that the drain outlet of the heat exchanger 5 is connected to a water guide pipe 12, and the right side wall of the shell 6 is provided with a water inlet. The end of the water guide pipe 12 away from the heat exchanger 5 is fixedly connected to the water inlet of the shell 6. By fixing the drain outlet of the heat exchanger 5 to the water inlet of the shell 6 through the water guide pipe 12, the recycling of low-temperature liquid medium in the geothermal extraction process is realized.

[0033] Two support columns 2 on the same side are arranged sequentially along the front and back direction of the base 1 on the same side. The mounting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the base 1 by bolts. The arrangement of the two support columns 2 on the same side along the front and back direction of the base 1 enhances the stability of the device. The fixed connection of the mounting frame 4 to the base 1 by bolts facilitates disassembly and maintenance, and improves the flexibility and maintainability of the device.

[0034] The inlet end of the heat exchanger 5 is fixedly connected to an external threaded connector 13, and the top end of the gas transmission pipe 10 is fixedly connected to an internal threaded connector 14. The gas transmission pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the heat exchanger 5 through the external threaded connector 13 and the internal threaded connector 14.

[0035] The bottom of the inner side of the heat absorber 7 is provided with a low-temperature liquid medium, which can be low-temperature liquid water. The outer wall of the steam pipe 11 is coated with a heat insulation coating. The low-temperature liquid medium at the bottom of the inner side of the heat absorber 7 can effectively absorb geothermal energy and improve the efficiency of geothermal extraction. The heat insulation coating on the outer wall of the steam pipe 11 reduces heat loss and maintains the high temperature of the steam, which is beneficial to the subsequent utilization of thermal energy.

[0036] The connecting assembly includes two frames 15 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate 3, a threaded rod 16 rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the frame 15, a handwheel 17 fixedly connected to the other end of the threaded rod 16, a threaded block 18 threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 16, and a positioning rod 19 fixedly connected to the opposite side wall of the two threaded blocks 18. Positioning blocks 20 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the housing 6, and positioning holes adapted to the positioning rod 19 are opened on the opposite side wall of the positioning blocks 20 on both the left and right sides. Through the connecting assembly composed of the frame 15, threaded rod 16, handwheel 17, threaded block 18 and positioning rod 19, the housing 6 can be quickly installed and disassembled, which is convenient for replacement and maintenance. At the same time, the positioning rod 19 cooperates with the positioning holes on the positioning blocks 20 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the housing 6 during the installation process.

[0037] The two frames 15 are located on the left and right sides of the housing 6, respectively. The left threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected to the inner right side wall of the same side frame 15, and the right threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected to the inner left side wall of the same side frame 15. The two frames 15 are located on the left and right sides of the housing 6, respectively, providing stable support for the housing 6.

[0038] The width and height of the threaded block 18 are equal to the width and height inside the frame 15, respectively. There are four positioning rods 19 on each side. The four positioning rods 19 on the left side are fixedly connected to the four corners of the right side wall of the threaded block 18 on the same side, and the four positioning rods 19 on the right side are fixedly connected to the four corners of the left side wall of the threaded block 18 on the same side. The width and height of the threaded block 18 are equal to the width and height inside the frame 15, which ensures the stability and reliability of the threaded block 18 inside the frame 15. The number of positioning rods 19 on each side is four, and they are fixedly connected to the four corners of the threaded block 18, which further enhances the stability and firmness of the housing 6 during installation.

[0039] In addition, the base 1, serving as the supporting structure for the entire device, is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure the stability and durability of the device. The support column 2 is made of high-strength steel or alloy materials, possessing sufficient rigidity and load-bearing capacity. The fixing plate 3 is made of high-strength, heat-resistant materials to adapt to working conditions in high-temperature environments. The mounting bracket 4 is also made with strength and corrosion resistance in mind to ensure the stability and safety of the heat exchanger 5.

[0040] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0041] During the operation of the device, the low-temperature liquid medium at the bottom of the inner side of the heat-absorbing tube 7 effectively absorbs geothermal energy from the dry hot rock strata through heat conduction. As the temperature of the low-temperature liquid medium rises, it gradually transforms into a gaseous state, carrying a large amount of heat energy. Subsequently, these gaseous media flow upward through the steam pipe 11. The heat insulation coating on the outer wall of the steam pipe 11 effectively reduces heat loss and ensures stable transmission of high-temperature steam. The steam then enters the gas transmission pipe 10 and is stably transmitted to the heat exchanger 5 through the tight fit of the external threaded connector 13 and the internal threaded connector 14. After the heat exchanger 5 transmits the heat, the steam is converted back into the low-temperature liquid medium. The low-temperature liquid medium is discharged from the drain port of the heat exchanger 5 and re-enters the heat-absorbing tube 7 through the water pipe 12, thus achieving the recycling of the low-temperature liquid medium.

[0042] When the device needs to be moved, the operator can turn the handwheel 17 to drive the threaded rod 16 to rotate within the frame 15. Since the threaded block 18 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 16, the rotation of the threaded rod 16 will drive the threaded block 18 to move within the frame 15. As the threaded block 18 moves, the positioning rod 19 fixedly connected to it will gradually disengage from the positioning holes on the positioning blocks 20 on the left and right sides of the housing 6, thereby releasing the lock on the housing 6. Then, rotate the gas pipe 10 to disengage the connection between the internal threaded connector 14 and the external threaded connector 13, and then remove the gas pipe 10 from the heat exchanger 5. At the same time, remove the bolts to remove the mounting bracket 4 and the heat exchanger 5 from the base 1. After that, pull the unlocked housing 6 out of the mounting port of the fixing plate 3, thereby completing the disassembly of the device components, reducing the overall weight of the device, and thus facilitating the movement of the device.
