[0002] With the increasing global pursuit of renewable energy, the development and utilization of coalbed methane (CBM) as a clean energy source is receiving growing attention. CBM is an important gas resource; its extraction not only effectively utilizes coal resources but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves the environment. However, the extraction and development of CBM faces certain technical challenges, particularly in the effective drainage and water reinjection of deep CBMs.

[0003] In the extraction of deep coalbed methane, it is often necessary to drain water from the coal seam to improve the permeability and exploitability of the gas while maintaining the stability of the groundwater environment. Therefore, a scientifically sound water injection technology is crucial. Existing coalbed methane drainage and reinjection devices suffer from various problems, such as clogging during injection, ineffective gas separation, and low filtration efficiency during water return, leading to poor injection results and even hindering subsequent coalbed methane extraction. Therefore, this invention provides a deep coalbed methane drainage and reinjection device. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Example: Figures 1-5As shown, a deep coalbed methane drainage and reinjection water device includes a water return shell 1. A bottom support 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water return shell 1. A water inlet component and a gas gathering component are provided at the top of the water return shell 1. A water outlet component is provided at the bottom of the water return shell 1. A filter component is provided inside the water return shell 1. A scraper is provided on the filter component. Through the above scheme, the water inlet component and the water outlet component realize the function of coalbed methane drainage and reinjection water. The gas gathering component collects and centrally processes the gas carried during water return. The filter component filters the water return to ensure smooth operation during water injection and avoids clogging of the water injection pipe, which would affect the water injection work. The scraper removes dirt from the inner wall of the water return shell 1 after long-term use.

[0022] The water inlet assembly includes a water inlet pump 4, which is fixedly installed on the top of the water return housing 1. The water inlet end of the water inlet pump 4 is connected to the external water return pipe, and the water outlet end of the water inlet pump 4 is connected to the inside of the water return housing 1. Through the above scheme, the water inlet pump 4 delivers the return water to the water return housing 1 through the external water return pipe, and filters it through the filter assembly.

[0023] The gas collection component includes a square-to-circular shape 2, which is fixedly installed on the top of the return water housing 1. A collection pipe 3 is connected to the square-to-circular shape 2 via a flange. The collection pipe 3 is connected to an external gas storage tank. A pressurizing pump is installed on the collection pipe 3. Through the above scheme, the gas enters the collection pipe 3 through the square-to-circular shape 2. The gas is then transported to the external gas storage tank for centralized treatment through the collection pipe 3 and the pressurizing pump.

[0024] The water outlet assembly includes an electronic plate valve 7. One end of the electronic plate valve 7 is connected to the bottom end of the return water housing 1 via a flange, and the other end of the electronic plate valve 7 is connected to the water outlet pipe 6 via a flange. The water outlet pipe 6 is connected to the external water injection pipe. A water outlet pump is installed on the external water injection pipe. Both the inlet water pump 4 and the water outlet pump are controlled by an external control device. With the above scheme, when the electronic plate valve 7 is opened, the water outlet pump delivers the filtered water from the electronic plate valve 7 to the water outlet pipe 6, and then the filtered water enters the external water injection pipe.

[0025] The filter assembly includes a filter box 14, which is slidably connected to the inside of the return water housing 1. A barrier net is provided on the filter box 14. Two symmetrically distributed sliding grooves 16 are provided on the top surface of the filter box 14 along its length. A sliding plate 15 is slidably installed within the sliding grooves 16.

The moisture-proof electric cylinder 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the return water housing 1. Through this design, the return water is filtered through the barrier net on the filter box 14. After filtration for a period of time, the cylinder arm of the moisture-proof electric cylinder 13 drives the filter box 14 to slide up and down inside the return water housing 1 via the sliding plate 15. When the filter box 14 rises to the notch in the return water housing 1, it is pulled to slide back and forth on the sliding plate 15, facilitating the cleaning of the barrier net on the filter box 14 by the operator.

[0026] The scraper section includes a soft scraper 17, which fits tightly inside the return water housing 1. The soft scraper 17 is fixedly installed on the filter box 14. With the above solution, when the filter box 14 moves upward inside the return water housing 1, the filter box 14 drives the soft scraper 17 to move upward, and the soft scraper 17 cleans the inner wall of the return water housing 1, ensuring that the water source is clean when water is injected.

[0027] The top of the return water housing 1 has a notch, which is connected to a sliding door 8. Two symmetrically distributed sliding plates 10 are fixedly installed on the sliding door 8. A second sliding plate 11 is fixedly installed on one end of the sliding door 8. The second sliding plate 11 is connected to the two sliding plates 10 to form a plate component. The surfaces of the sliding door 8 that contact the return water housing 1 are provided with sealing strips. A sealed space is formed by the sliding door 8, the return water housing 1, and the sealing strips on the sliding door 8, which facilitates the entry of the gas carried during water return into the gas collection component. A sliding slot 12 is provided at the notch to cooperate with the plate component. The sliding plates 10, 11, and 12 facilitate the installation of the sliding door 8 on the return water housing 1. Two symmetrically distributed handles 9 are fixedly installed on the top of the sliding door 8, which facilitate the removal or installation of the sliding door 8 by the operator.
