Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coal seam depressurization and permeability enhancement technology, and relates to a core rod jacking mechanical hole expansion device. Background Technology

[0002] my country possesses abundant coal reserves, which occupy a vital position in its energy structure and are a key pillar for ensuring national energy security. However, with the continuous increase in coal mining depth, the gas content and pressure in coal seams are constantly rising, significantly increasing the risk of gas accidents and posing a severe challenge to safe coal mine production. Gas drainage is a crucial step in ensuring safe production during coal mining. However, most coal seams in my country have poor permeability, classified as low-permeability coal seams, resulting in low gas drainage efficiency and failing to meet the dual requirements of safe production and efficient drainage. Therefore, improving gas drainage efficiency has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in current coal mining operations.

[0003] Coal seam permeability enhancement technology, as a core means to improve gas drainage efficiency, has received widespread attention. However, the confined working environment in coal mines places extremely stringent requirements on permeability enhancement equipment, which must possess characteristics such as high strength, small size, and ease of operation. Currently, traditional coal seam permeability enhancement technologies have many drawbacks. Traditional hydraulic or blasting enlargement technologies present significant safety risks during implementation, while the latter faces difficulties in implementation. High-pressure water jet cutting of coal can achieve coal cutting to a certain extent, but the equipment structure is complex, consumes a large amount of water, and the borehole wall is prone to collapse during the cutting process, affecting subsequent gas drainage operations. Blasting enlargement technology not only poses significant safety hazards, but also makes it difficult to precisely control the shape and size of the enlarged borehole, failing to meet the requirements of efficient gas drainage. When conventional drilling tools are used with ordinary drill bits, only cylindrical holes can be formed, failing to achieve "cavity" enlargement, resulting in limited permeability enhancement effects in the coal seam. Traditional mechanical hole enlargement methods mostly rely on the thrust of the drilling rig to achieve drill bit diameter change, resulting in slow hole enlargement speed and long working cycle, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of efficient gas extraction.

[0004] In summary, existing coal seam permeability enhancement technologies have shortcomings in terms of safety, perforation effect, and efficiency, failing to meet the needs of safe coal mine production and efficient gas extraction. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of coal seam perforation enhancement device to effectively improve the pressure relief and permeability enhancement effect of coal seams, providing a strong guarantee for safe production and efficient mining in coal mines.

[0061] Install the core drill rod 2 onto the drilling rig, connect the core drill rod jacking reamer 1 and the drill bit in sequence, adjust the opening height, inclination angle and azimuth angle, and carry out drilling operations.

The coal output of the enlarged section is recorded, and the enlargement tool is removed and properly stored after completion.

[0064] Furthermore, the composite rotating tail 3 can also be connected to the core drill rod 2 during drilling operations to assist in slag removal.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] This embodiment further optimizes the device structure based on specific embodiment 1 to improve operational efficiency and stability.

[0067] Improvement of the core rod jacking type reamer 1

[0068] The female connector cap 1-1 and the reamer core rod 1-2 are connected by a stop joint to limit the excessive displacement of the reamer core rod 1-2 towards the core rod drill rod 2.

[0069] A compression spring 1-6 is fitted onto one end of the reamer core rod 1-2 near the male connector 1-5. Its two ends are respectively connected to the outer protrusion of the reamer core rod 1-2 and the male connector 1-5, providing elastic force in the direction of the female connector cover 1-1 to accelerate the closing of the cutter arm 1-3.

[0070] Improvements to core drill rod 2

[0071] The outer wall of the drill rod body 2-1 adopts a shallow thread design to enhance the friction with the inner wall of the borehole; the inner cavity is provided with a groove for the installation of the drill rod core rod 2-2, and axial advance space is reserved.

[0072] The drill rod core 2-2 has a limiting protrusion on its outer side, and the drill rod body 2-1 has a corresponding stop in its groove to achieve axial limiting.

[0073] Specifically, the drill rod core 2-2 is installed into the drill rod body 2-1 through one end of the drill rod body 2-1. After installation, the male connector of the drill rod body is welded to the drill rod body 2-1, and then the drill rod core 2-2, which forms a stop connection with the drill rod body 2-1, is installed into the drill rod body 2-1.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the core rod jacking type reamer 1 is Φ96mm, the length is 650mm, the length of the cutter arm is 200mm, and the length of the groove for installing the cutter arm is 210mm.

[0075] The drill rod body 2-1 has an outer diameter of Φ76mm and a length of 1000mm, and the drill rod core rod 2-2 has an outer diameter of Φ30mm and a length of 1000mm.

[0076] The inlet 3-1 of the composite rotating water jet has a size of Φ25mm. In the hydraulic thruster, the hydraulic pipeline has a size of Φ10mm, the oil pressure is 2-4MPa, and the guide rod stroke is 100mm.

[0077] The method of using this core rod jacking type mechanical reaming device is as follows:

[0078] As in Example 1, complete the drilling operation and install the relevant components.

[0079] Control of the opening and closing of blade arms 1-3:

[0080] Opening: The guide rod 4-3 of the hydraulic thruster 4 moves toward the bottom of the hole under hydraulic drive, pushing the drill rod core rod 2-2 and the reamer core rod 1-2 to move. The cutter arm 1-3 opens through gear meshing and is maintained in the open state by hydraulic pressure.

[0081] Closure: When the hydraulic drive stops, the cutter arm 1-3 is automatically closed by the pressure of the inner wall of the borehole. The compression spring 1-6 helps the reamer core rod 1-2 to reset, driving the drill core rod 2-2 and guide rod 4-3 back to their original positions.

[0082] Specifically, Example 2 involves a cross-seam borehole reaming operation with a coal seam thickness of 6m, a borehole depth of 40m, and an inclination angle of 80°. The entire coal seam section of the cross-seam borehole is reamed to a depth of 6m. The coal output of the reamed section is recorded. After reaming is completed, the reaming drill bit is removed and properly stored, and the borehole is sealed for continuous pumping.

[0083] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this technical solution, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
