Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-stopping devices, and in particular to a layered water-stopping device for coalfield exploration. Background Technology
[0002] Layered water-stopping devices for coalfield hydrogeological exploration refer to technical solutions for controlling and isolating water at different strata by taking specific measures and devices in coalfield hydrogeological exploration and mining to effectively prevent water surge under hydrogeological conditions.
[0003] Common mechanical compression-type layered water-stopping devices use mechanical structures (such as lead screws, cams, wedge blocks, etc.) to compress annular airbags, causing them to expand radially and fit tightly against the well wall, thus achieving layered water-stopping isolation. As shown in a layered water-stopping device for coalfield hydrogeological exploration (its authorization announcement number is: CN222879662U), this type of annular sealing rubber strips are arranged at equal intervals. However, in reality, because the depths of different water layers in coalfields are not equidistantly layered, this type of layered water-stopping device cannot achieve sealing and water-stopping at different water layer depths, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a layered water-stopping device for coalfield exploration, which solves the aforementioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A layered water-stopping device for coalfield exploration, used to seal and stop water in underground water layers during coalfield exploration, including: The main cylinder has a first threaded protrusion end and a first threaded groove end at its top and bottom ends, respectively. The main cylinder has two lifting chambers and a first rotating chamber. The two lifting chambers are equipped with sealing and water-stopping components. The first rotating chamber is equipped with a screw assembly. The screw assembly is configured to drive the sealing and water-stopping components to expand radially and fit tightly against the coalfield underground water layer when it rotates, thereby achieving sealing and water-stopping. Several extension cylinders have a second threaded protrusion end and a second threaded groove end at their top and bottom ends, respectively. The first threaded protrusion end at the top of the main cylinder is threaded into the second threaded groove end at the bottom of the extension cylinder above it, thereby extending the length of the main cylinder. Several extension cylinders can be installed according to the depth of the underground water layer. A transmission component is provided inside the extension cylinder. The transmission component is configured to drive the screw assembly to rotate when it is inserted into the screw assembly.
[0006] Preferably, the second threaded protrusion at the top of the extension cylinder below the main cylinder is threaded into the first threaded groove at the bottom of the main cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, the lifting cavity is composed of a cylindrical cavity and four rectangular side openings.
[0008] Preferably, the sealing and water-stopping component includes: Two lifting plates, each consisting of a circular plate and four rectangular side blocks, are movably installed in two lifting cavities. The lifting plates are adapted to the lifting cavities. The circular plate on the lifting plate is movably installed in the cylindrical cavity of the lifting cavity, and the four rectangular side blocks on the lifting plate are movably installed in the four rectangular side openings of the lifting cavity. Two extrusion rings are fixedly installed on the outer side walls of four rectangular side blocks on two lifting plates, and both are movably sleeved on the main cylinder. The two extrusion rings have a bevel on the side that is close to each other. An annular airbag is fixedly mounted on an inclined surface on one side of two compression rings, with the outer side of the annular airbag protruding beyond the two compression rings.
[0009] Preferably, the screw assembly includes: A positioning ring is rotatably mounted within the first rotating cavity; A two-way lead screw is fixedly installed on a positioning ring. The threads at both ends of the screw have opposite directions and the threads at both ends pass through the two lifting discs respectively. The top and bottom ends of the screw have a first insertion end and a first insertion block end respectively.
[0010] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes: A fixing ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the extension tube, and has a second rotating cavity inside, the cross section of which is arranged in a cross shape. The transmission rod has a protruding ring on its body, which is rotatably installed in the second rotating cavity. Its top and bottom ends have a second insertion end and a second insertion block end, respectively.
[0011] Preferably, the second insert end located at the bottom of the transmission rod inside the extension cylinder above the main cylinder is inserted into the first insert end at the top of the lower bidirectional screw; the second insert end located at the top of the transmission rod inside the extension cylinder below the main cylinder is inserted into the first insert end at the bottom of the upper bidirectional screw.
[0012] The installer of this application assembles several extension cylinders at the top or top of the main cylinder to adjust the spacing between two adjacent main cylinders. This allows the distribution spacing between the annular airbags on the adjacent main cylinders to be adjusted according to the depth of different water layers in the coalfield. When performing layered water sealing, a wrench with a rectangular block head is inserted into the second insertion end at the top of the uppermost transmission rod, and the transmission rod is rotated to adjust the rotation of several bidirectional screws in the layered water sealing device. This allows several annular airbags to expand radially and fit tightly against the water layer in the coalfield, achieving water sealing. This application can seal water at different depths of water layers in the coalfield and is relatively convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] Common mechanical extrusion-type layered water-stopping devices feature multiple annular sealing rubber strips arranged at equal intervals. However, in reality, because different water layers in coalfields are not equidistantly spaced, this type of layered water-stopping device cannot effectively seal water at different depths, making it inconvenient to use. To solve this problem, this embodiment discloses a layered water-stopping device for coalfield exploration, used to seal and stop water in underground water layers during coalfield exploration, including: Figure 1 The main cylinder 100 and several extension cylinders 400 are shown. The height of the main cylinder 100 can be 1 meter, and the height of the extension cylinders 400 can be 0.5 meters.
[0017] like Figure 3 As shown, the top and bottom ends of the main cylinder 100 are respectively provided with a first threaded protrusion end 110 and a first threaded groove end 120. Several extension cylinders 400 are provided with a second threaded protrusion end 410 and a second threaded groove end 420 at their top and bottom ends, respectively. The first threaded protrusion end 110 at the top of the main cylinder 100 is threadedly installed in the second threaded groove end 420 at the bottom of the extension cylinder 400 above it, thereby extending the length of the main cylinder 100. Several extension cylinders 400 can be installed at both ends of the main cylinder 100 according to the depth of the underground water layer. The second threaded protrusion end 410 at the top of the extension cylinder 400 below the main cylinder 100 is threadedly installed in the first threaded groove end 120 at the bottom of the main cylinder 100.
[0018] like Figure 6 As shown, the main cylinder 100 has two lifting chambers 101. Each lifting chamber 101 is composed of a cylindrical cavity and four rectangular side openings. A sealing and water-stopping assembly 200 is installed in each of the two lifting chambers 101. The sealing and water-stopping assembly 200 includes: two lifting plates 210, two compression rings 220, and an annular airbag 230. Each lifting plate 210 is composed of a circular plate and four rectangular side blocks. The two lifting plates 210 are movably installed within two lifting chambers 101, and the lifting plates 210 are adapted to the lifting chambers 101. The circular plate on the lifting plate 210 is movably installed within the cylindrical cavity of the lifting chamber 101, and the four rectangular side blocks on the lifting plate 210 are movably installed within the four rectangular side openings of the lifting chamber 101. The two compression rings 220 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the four rectangular side blocks on the two lifting plates 210, and are movably sleeved on the main cylinder 100. The sides of the two compression rings 220 that are close to each other each have a slope 2201. The annular airbag 230 is fixedly installed on the slope 2201 on the sides of the two compression rings 220 that are close to each other, and the outer surface of the annular airbag 230 protrudes beyond the two compression rings 220.
[0019] Continue as Figure 6As shown, the main cylinder 100 has a first rotating cavity 102, and a screw assembly 300 is provided in the first rotating cavity 102. The screw assembly 300 is configured to drive the sealing and water-stopping assembly 200 to expand radially and fit tightly against the coalfield underground water layer when it rotates, so as to achieve sealing and water-stopping. The screw assembly 300 includes: a positioning ring 310 and a bidirectional lead screw 320; the positioning ring 310 is rotatably installed in the first rotating cavity 102; the bidirectional lead screw 320 is fixedly installed on the positioning ring 310, the threads at both ends of the screw are opposite and the threads at both ends respectively pass through the outside of the two lifting discs 210, and the top and bottom ends of the screw have a first insertion end 3201 and a first insertion block end 3202 respectively.
[0020] When the adjusting double-acting screw 320 rotates, it can synchronously drive the two lifting discs 210 to slide and approach each other in the two lifting chambers 101 of the main cylinder 100, thereby driving the two extrusion rings 220 to approach each other and extrude the annular airbag 230, so that the annular airbag 230 expands radially and fits tightly against the water leakage point of the well wall in the coalfield, thereby achieving sealing and water isolation.
[0021] Continue as Figure 6 As shown, a transmission assembly 500 is provided inside the extension cylinder 400. The transmission assembly 500 is configured to drive the screw assembly 300 to rotate when it is inserted into the screw assembly 300. The transmission assembly 500 includes: a fixed ring 510 and a transmission rod 520; the fixed ring 510 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the extension cylinder 400, and has a second rotating cavity 5101 inside, the cross section of the second rotating cavity 5101 being arranged in a cross shape; the transmission rod 520 has a protruding ring on its rod body, the protruding ring on its rod body being rotatably installed in the second rotating cavity 5101, and its top and bottom ends respectively having a second insertion end 5201 and a second insertion block end 5202; When the second threaded groove end 420 at the bottom of the extension cylinder 400 is screwed downwards onto the first threaded protrusion end 110 at the top of the main cylinder 100, the second insert end 5202 at the bottom of the transmission rod 520 inside the extension cylinder 400 is aligned with the first insertion end 3201 at the top of the bidirectional lead screw 320 inserted into the lower main cylinder 100. This prevents the transmission rod 520 from rotating during the screwing process of the extension cylinder 400, thereby preventing the bidirectional lead screw 320 inside the main cylinder 100 from rotating during the threaded connection of the extension cylinder 400 to the main cylinder 100.
[0022] Continue as Figure 6As shown, the second insert end 5202 at the bottom of the transmission rod 520 inside the extension cylinder 400 above the main cylinder 100 is inserted into the first insert end 3201 at the top of the lower bidirectional lead screw 320; the second insert end 5201 at the top of the transmission rod 520 inside the extension cylinder 400 below the main cylinder 100 is inserted into the first insert end 3202 at the bottom of the upper bidirectional lead screw 320.
[0023] The specific implementation method is as follows: After measuring the depth of different water layers in the coalfield, the installer assembles several extension cylinders 400 at the top or top of the main cylinder 100 according to the depth of different water layers. This allows for adjustment of the distance between two adjacent main cylinders 100, so that the distribution distance between the annular airbags 230 on the adjacent main cylinders 100 can be adjusted according to the depth of different water layers in the coalfield. When performing layered water sealing, the wrench head with a rectangular block head is inserted into the second insertion end 5201 at the top of the uppermost transmission rod 520, and the transmission rod 520 is rotated and adjusted. This allows for the rotation adjustment of several bidirectional screws 320 in the layered water sealing device, which simultaneously causes several annular airbags 230 to expand radially and fit tightly against the water layer in the coalfield, achieving water sealing. This application can seal and stop water at different depths of water layers in the coalfield, and is relatively convenient to use.
