Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground gas extraction technology in coal mines, specifically to an automatic mixing device for sealing materials in underground gas extraction boreholes. Background Technology
[0002] Coal seam gas extraction is an important method for eliminating coal seam gas hazards in coal mines. The sealing quality of the borehole is a key factor affecting the gas extraction effect.
[0003] With the continuous development of borehole sealing materials, the sealing materials used for grouting and sealing boreholes in underground coal mine gas drainage are gradually shifting from traditional cement-based materials to inorganic phase change gel materials. Different types of sealing materials have different material formulations, and the water-to-material ratios also vary. Currently, the preparation of underground sealing materials still relies on manual labor, with most workers using experience to mix the materials. This lack of precision results in the sealing materials not achieving optimal performance, failing to improve sealing quality, and causing waste of sealing materials.
[0004] Meanwhile, existing sealing material preparation devices lack human-machine interaction and have a low degree of automation. During grouting, the amount of water and sealing material depends on manual observation and replenishment, and functions such as autonomous monitoring of grout volume and water shortage alarms are not possible. After grouting, manual cleaning of the container is still required, as the container cannot be automatically cleaned, increasing the workload of workers and severely restricting work efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need to propose an automatic mixing device for sealing materials in underground gas extraction boreholes to solve the aforementioned technical problems in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0039] Example
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment describes an automatic mixing device for sealing materials in underground gas extraction boreholes. The device includes a frame 10, a weighing assembly 11, a mixing chamber 8, an alarm, and a control panel 7.
[0041] A weighing assembly 11 is installed above the rack 10, and a mixing chamber 8 is installed above the weighing assembly 11. A feed inlet 20 is opened at the top of the mixing chamber 8. A control panel 7 is installed on the outer wall of the mixing chamber 8, and an alarm and a controller are installed inside the control panel 7. In this example, the controller is a PLC controller.
[0042] The weighing component 11 is used to weigh the sealing material in the mixing chamber 8, and the weighing component 11 is connected to the control system. In this embodiment, the weighing component 11 is an electronic scale.
[0043] A water injection pipe 6, which connects to the interior of the mixing chamber 8, is installed on the outer wall of the mixing chamber 8. A water injection pipe solenoid valve 17 and a flow meter 5, which is a mechanical flow meter, are installed on the water injection pipe 6. The control terminal of the water injection pipe solenoid valve 17 is connected to a controller.
[0044] A drain pipe 9 is provided at the bottom of the mixing chamber 8 to connect to the interior of the mixing chamber 8. A drain pipe solenoid valve 18 is provided on the drain pipe 9, and the control terminal signal of the drain pipe solenoid valve 18 is connected to the controller.
[0045] In this embodiment, a support member 21 is provided on the carrier 10, and a sealing material filling chamber 2 is provided on the support member 21. A control baffle 1 for limiting the flow of sealing material is provided at the bottom of the sealing material filling chamber 2. The control baffle 1 has a push-pull structure and can control the speed at which the sealing material is added to the mixing chamber 8. When the control baffle 1 is opened, the material begins to be added to the mixing chamber 8. The greater the degree to which the control baffle 1 is pulled outward, the larger the gap at the bottom outlet of the sealing material filling chamber 2, and the greater the filling speed of the sealing material. When it is pushed to completely block the entire outlet, the sealing material filling chamber 2 closes and the addition of material to the mixing chamber 8 stops.
[0046] The bottom outlet of the sealing material filling chamber 2 is located above the inlet 20 of the mixing chamber to ensure that the sealing material falls completely into the mixing chamber 8 during the filling process.
[0047] An electric motor 3 is installed above the mixing chamber 8, and the control terminal of the electric motor 3 is connected to a controller. A stirring assembly is installed inside the mixing chamber 8, and the output shaft of the electric motor 3 is connected to the stirring assembly, enabling the electric motor 3 to drive the stirring assembly to stir the sealing material.
[0048] In this embodiment, the stirring assembly consists of a connecting rod 15 and a stirring blade 14. The upper vertical rod of the connecting rod 15 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 3, and the lower vertical rod of the connecting rod 15 is connected to the stirring blade 14, which is a spiral stirring blade. The motor 3 can drive the spiral stirring blade 14 to stir the sealing material in the mixing chamber 8 through the connecting rod 15.
[0049] The control panel 7 also features a display screen and buttons, and an alarm is internally mounted on it. The display screen, buttons, and alarm signals are connected to the controller.
[0050] A liquid level sensor 16 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing chamber 8, and the liquid level sensor 16 is connected to the controller. When the amount of slurry in the mixing chamber 8 is lower than the set value, the liquid level sensor 16 transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the alarm to sound to remind the staff to mix slurry again, thus realizing the real-time monitoring and alarm function of slurry volume.
[0051] Control panel 7 is the human-machine interface. Workers can select the equipment operation mode as needed. The operation modes include material weighing, slurry monitoring, water injection control, slurry stirring, tank cleaning, etc.
[0052] This embodiment also includes a sealing material storage chamber 13 on the carrier 10 for storing spare sealing materials. The sealing material storage chamber 13 is located near the sealing material filling chamber 2 to facilitate the storage, transportation and replenishment of sealing materials during the downhole sealing process.
[0053] An opening is provided at the top of the mixing chamber 8, and a mixing chamber cover 4 is provided on the opening. The mixing chamber cover 4 is provided with a handle, which facilitates opening and closing the mixing chamber cover 4. The opening is used for inspection or subsequent maintenance of the interior of the mixing chamber 8.
[0054] The bottom plate 19 of the mixing chamber is inclined, with the side of the bottom plate 19 closest to the drain pipe 9 being lower than the other side of the bottom plate 19, and the position where the drain pipe 9 is connected is the lowest point of the bottom plate 19. The inclined bottom plate 19 facilitates the outflow of slurry in the mixing chamber 8, reduces residue, and avoids waste of sealing material.
[0055] The bottom of the shelf 10 is equipped with four casters 12, which can move the entire device.
[0056] In this embodiment, the motor 3 is an intrinsically safe motor. The motor 3 is connected to two spiral stirring blades 14 through the connecting rod 15. The shape and number of stirring blades 14 can be reasonably changed according to the actual situation.
[0057] The working process of an automatic mixing device for sealing materials in downhole gas extraction boreholes in this embodiment is briefly described as follows:
[0058] (1) Before the grouting process begins, move the device to a suitable position, pour the sealing material into the sealing material filling chamber 2, open the control panel 7, and select the material weighing function. Open the filling chamber control baffle 1, and the sealing material falls into the mixing chamber 8. At the same time, observe the filling weight on the display screen of the control panel 7. When it approaches the target ratio, push the control baffle 1 to reduce the gap at the bottom outlet of the sealing material filling chamber 2, so as to reduce the filling speed of the sealing material. When the filling amount of sealing material reaches the target amount, push the control baffle 1 until the outlet of the sealing material filling chamber 2 is completely closed, and stop the filling.
[0059] (2) After the material is added, connect the water injection pipe 6 to the downhole water pipe, select the water injection function on the control panel 7, and the controller controls the solenoid valve 17 of the water injection pipe to open and inject water into the mixing chamber 8. At the same time, observe the flow meter 5. When the water inflow reaches the target value of the water-material ratio, close the solenoid valve 17 of the water injection pipe and stop the water injection.
[0060] (3) After water injection is completed, select the stirring function on the control panel 7. The intrinsically safe motor 3 will start and run at low speed for ten minutes to achieve water mixing and stirring.
[0061] (4) After mixing, connect the grouting pump to the drain pipe 9, and use the control panel 7 to open the drain pipe solenoid valve 18 to perform grouting.
[0062] (5) During the grouting process, the liquid level sensor 16 will sense the liquid level of the grout in the mixing chamber 8 in real time. If the grout volume is lower than the set value, the alarm in the control panel 7 will sound a buzzer to remind you to mix the grout again.
[0063] (6) After grouting is completed, first use the control panel 7 to close the drain pipe solenoid valve 18 and ensure that the water injection pipe 6 is connected to the well water pipe. Select the water injection function on the control panel 7. The controller controls the water injection pipe solenoid valve 17 to open and inject water. At the same time, observe the flow meter 5. When the required amount of water for cleaning is reached, close the water injection pipe solenoid valve 17 to stop water injection. Then select the cleaning function on the control panel 7. At this time, the intrinsically safe motor 3 rotates at high speed, driving the spiral stirring fan blade 14 to rotate at high speed to clean the inner wall of the mixing chamber 8 and the surface of the stirring fan blade 14. The stirring process is repeated 3 times, each time for five minutes.
[0064] (7) After cleaning, use the control panel 7 to open the drain pipe solenoid valve 18 to drain the sewage.

For those skilled in the art, it will be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model.
