The invention discloses a
coal mine underground directional hole close-range multi-
branch sidetrack drilling tool and a drilling method. The drilling tool comprises a guide drilling tool and a flexible
branch drilling tool capable of being inserted into the guide drilling tool; a section of positioning groove is formed in the inner wall of the guide drilling tool, and a guide opening allowing the flexible
branch drilling tool to stretch out is formed in the
pipe wall of a guide sleeve; the flexible branch drilling tool comprises an inner
drill rod, a positioning connector, a continuous
pipe, a bent connector and a spray head which are sequentially connected; and the positioning connector comprises a connector
pipe body, a positioning key arranged in the radial direction of the connector pipe body, and a positioning key adjusting piece used for adjusting the
radial position of the positioning key. By adjusting the posture of the guide drilling tool, the branch opening direction can be accurately controlled, and under guiding of the guide drilling tool, sidetrack drilling branch can be conducted in any direction in the radial direction of a
drill hole; and the number and the distance of branch holes are not affected by reserved branch points, all the branch holes are effectively in
lap joint, and disaster prevention and control blank zones are avoided.
