[0026] This utility model consists of a drain valve body 4, a valve core 5, a valve core ball valve 6, and a sampling connector 7.

[0027] Figure 1 The upper end of the drain valve body 4 is connected to the exhaust port of the sampling tube ball valve 2 at the lower end of the gas sampling tube 1. There is a valve core mounting hole 8 on the side wall of the drain valve body 4. One end of the valve core 5 is connected to the valve core mounting hole 8 on the side wall of the drain valve body 4. The other end of the valve core 5 is connected to the rear end of the sampling connector 7 through the valve core ball valve 6. The front end of the sampling connector 7 is connected to the opening of the gas collection bag 3.

[0028] Figure 1 , 2 The drain valve body 4 is equipped with a filter screen 15 and a sealing gasket 16 at the upper part of the interior. The sealing gasket 16 is interference-fitted with the drain valve body 4. The gas enters the drain valve body 4 through the filter screen 15 to ensure the purity of the sampled gas.

[0029] Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, the lower end of the drain valve body 4 has a drain port 9, and inside the drain port 9 is a float ball 10, which is pressed against the drain port 9. The upper part of the drain port 9 is a sliding hole 17, and the upper end of the sliding hole 17 is a conical opening 18. The arc of the conical opening 18 matches the lower part of the float ball 10, and the lower part of the float ball 10 is placed in the conical opening 18. Below the sliding hole 17 is a disc-shaped groove 19, and the lower end of the float ball 10 is connected to a float rod 20. The diameter of the float rod 20 matches the diameter of the sliding hole 17, and the length of the float rod 20 is greater than the length of the sliding hole 17. The float rod 20 is inserted into the sliding hole 17, and the float rod 20 and the sliding hole 17 are in a sliding fit. A disc is fixedly connected to the lower end of the float rod 20. The disc is embedded in the disc-shaped groove 19 at the lower end of the drain outlet 9. The disc and the disc-shaped groove are in a sliding fit. Two bosses 21 are fixed on both sides of the disc. The two bosses 21 are located in the disc-shaped groove 19 below the sliding hole 17. When the float 10 floats up due to the buoyancy of the condensate in the drain valve body 4, the float rod 20 plays a role in positioning the float 10 to prevent it from deviating. The disc at the lower end of the float rod 20 has two bosses 21. When the float 10 floats to the highest position, the bosses 21 can ensure the drainage gap in the disc-shaped groove 19, allowing for normal drainage.

[0030] Figure 1 , 5 The display shows that the rear of the sampling connector 7 is a cylindrical body, and the front is a sampling tube. The cylindrical body and the sampling tube are connected by a tapered joint. The rear cylindrical body of the sampling connector 7 is connected to the outlet end of the valve core ball valve 6, and the sampling tube at the front of the sampling connector 7 is inserted into the opening of the gas collecting bag 3. During gas intake, the gas passes through the valve core ball valve 6 and then through the sampling connector 7 into the gas collecting bag 3. During gas exhaust, the gas is also discharged through the sampling connector 7 and the valve core ball valve 6.

[0031] Figure 1 , 4 The valve core 5 is cylindrical. Inside the valve core 5 are two air inlet channels 11 and air outlet channels 12 arranged parallel to each other along the length direction. One end of each of the two gas channels in the valve core 5 is a large diameter end 22, and the other end is a small diameter vent pipe 23. A sealing ball 13 and a compression spring 14 are arranged sequentially in the two gas channels.

[0032] Figure 1 , 4As shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8, the small-diameter vent pipe 23 in the air inlet channel 11 of the air collection bag of valve core 5 is opposite to the drain valve body 4, the large-diameter end 22 of the air inlet channel 11 of the air collection bag is opposite to the valve core ball valve 6, the sealing ball 13 is located at the rear of the small-diameter vent pipe 23, the compression spring 14 is located at the rear of the sealing ball 13, the compression spring 14 of the air collection bag air inlet channel 11 has an air inlet spring seat 24 at the rear, the air inlet spring seat 24 has an air inlet 25 at the center, and the rear air inlet hole 25 of the air inlet spring seat 24 is opposite to the air inlet of the valve core ball valve 4.

[0033] With this structure, the sealing ball 13 and the compression spring 14 in the gas collection bag inlet channel 11 can allow gas with a certain pressure to enter the gas collection bag inlet channel 11 from the drain valve body 4, and then enter the gas collection bag 3; at the same time, the sealing ball 13 and the compression spring 14 can prevent the gas in the gas collection bag 3 from entering the drain valve body 4.

[0034] Figure 1 , 4 As shown in sections 6, 7, and 9, the small-diameter vent pipe 23 in the exhaust channel 12 of the gas collection bag of valve core 5 is opposite to the air inlet of the ball valve 6. The large-diameter end 22 of the exhaust channel 12 is opposite to the drain valve body 4. The sealing ball 13 is located behind the small-diameter vent pipe 23, and the compression spring 14 is located behind the sealing ball 13. An exhaust spring seat 26 is located behind the compression spring 14 of the exhaust channel 12. The rear end of the exhaust spring seat 26 is opposite to the drain valve body 4. The exhaust spring seat 26 is cylindrical and can block the exhaust channel 12 of the gas collection bag during the exhaust process, preventing gas from entering the drain valve body 4 from the gas collection bag 3. There is an exhaust hole 27 on the side wall of the exhaust channel 12 of the gas collection bag, allowing gas to be discharged.

[0035] The function of the gas collection bag exhaust channel 12 is opposite to that of the gas collection bag inlet channel 11. The sealing ball 13 and the compression spring 14 in the gas collection bag exhaust channel 12 allow the gas for gas washing operation to enter the gas collection bag exhaust channel 12 from the gas collection bag 3 and then be discharged from the exhaust hole 27. At the same time, the sealing ball 13 and the compression spring 14 prevent the gas in the drain valve body 4 from entering the gas collection bag 3.

[0036] Figure 6 As shown, the sealing ball 13 has a ball handle 28 at the rear. The ball handle 28 is a round rod. The ball handle 28 is inserted into the front opening of the compression spring 14, which can ensure that the sealing ball 13 and the compression spring 14 move synchronously and will not detach.

[0037] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0038] First, connect the upper end of the drain valve body 4 to the sampling tube ball valve 2 at the lower end of the gas sampling tube 1. At the same time, connect the valve core 5 connected to the side of the drain valve body 4 to the valve core ball valve 6. Then connect the valve core ball valve 6 to the rear end of the sampling connector 7. Connect the front end of the sampling connector 7 to the opening of the gas collection bag 3.

[0039] Then, the sampling tube ball valve 2 is opened, and the gas enters the drain valve body 4. The gas contains a small amount of solid impurities, which are filtered through the filter screen 4. The gas condensate also enters the drain valve body 4 through the filter screen.

[0040] When the condensate water level in the drain valve body 4 reaches a certain height, the float ball 10 floats up due to the buoyancy of the condensate water. A gap appears between the lower end of the float ball 10 and the drain outlet 9, and the condensate water is discharged from the drain outlet 9, thus realizing the drainage operation.

[0041] When coal gas is continuously fed into the drain valve body 4 for sampling, when the coal gas pressure exceeds the pressure of the compression spring 14 in the gas collection bag inlet channel 11, the coal gas can push open the vent pipe 23 through the sealing ball 13. The coal gas enters the gas collection bag inlet channel 11 through the vent pipe 23, and then enters the valve core ball valve 6 from the large diameter end 22 at the rear of the gas collection bag inlet channel 11. It then enters the gas collection bag 3 through the valve core ball valve 6 and the sampling connector 7.

[0042] When performing the venting operation, the operator squeezes the gas collection bag 3, and the gas can push the sealed ball 13 in the gas collection bag venting channel 12 out of the vent pipe 23 and then enter the gas collection bag venting channel 12. The gas is discharged through the vent hole 27 on the side wall of the gas collection bag venting channel 12.

[0043] By repeatedly performing air intake and exhaust operations, the gas collection bag 3 can be washed. After multiple washes, the original residual gas in the gas collection bag 3 is basically discharged, and the quality of the collected gas is higher, which is beneficial to the accuracy of the test results.
