[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a downhole drainage device, including a three-way pipe 1 and a compressed air system 2. The compressed air system 2 is connected to a PLC control box 16, and the PLC control box 16 is connected to and controls the multi-channel compressed air system 2. The three-way pipe 1 is connected to a drain pipe 3, an exhaust pipe 4 and an extraction pipe 5. A drain valve 6 is provided on the drain pipe 3, an exhaust valve 7 is provided on the exhaust pipe 4, and a water blowing pipe 8 is provided in the extraction pipe 5. The compressed air system 2 includes an air supply pipe 9, a pneumatic angle seat valve 10, a compressed air pipe 11 and a hose 12. A solenoid valve 13 is provided on the air supply pipe 9, the pneumatic angle seat valve 10 is located between the air supply pipe 9 and the compressed air pipe 11, and the hose 12 is located between the compressed air pipe 11 and the water blowing pipe 8.

[0025] During drainage, close the exhaust valve 7, open the drain valve 6 and the solenoid valve 13, and the air supply pipe sends compressed air from the air compressor into the pneumatic angle seat valve 10. Under the action of the compressed air, the pneumatic angle seat valve 10 opens and connects the compressed air pipe 11. The compressed air enters the water blowing pipe 8 in the extraction pipe 5 through the hose 12 and enters the gas borehole through the water blowing pipe 8. The water accumulated in the gas borehole is discharged through the drain pipe 3 under the action of the compressed air. After the drainage is completed, close the drain valve 6 and the solenoid valve 13, and open the exhaust valve 7 to start gas extraction.

[0026] In this embodiment, the compressed air system 2 also includes an oil mist lubricator 14, which is installed on the air supply pipe 9. The oil mist lubricator 14 is used to provide controllable oil mist lubrication for the pneumatic angle seat valve 10 and the solenoid valve 13, so as to reduce friction, prevent wear and extend the service life of the pneumatic angle seat valve 10 and the solenoid valve 13.

[0027] In this embodiment, the compressed air system 2 also includes a steam-water separator 15, which is installed on the air supply pipe 9. The steam-water separator 15 is used to remove moisture, oil mist and other liquid contaminants from the compressed air, ensuring a dry and clean air supply, thereby protecting the pneumatic angle seat valve 10, extending the service life of the pneumatic angle seat valve 10 and improving the system reliability.

[0028] In this embodiment, the solenoid valve 13 is an intrinsically safe pneumatic solenoid valve for mining.

[0029] In this embodiment, each compressed air pipe 11 is provided with multiple flexible hoses 12, and multiple extraction pipes 5 are provided. The number of extraction pipes 5 is the same as the number of flexible hoses 12 and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0030] In this embodiment, the compressed air pipe 11 is connected to the flange of the pneumatic angle seat valve 10.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
