A 18m hydraulic lifting flexible drilling tower is formed by a crown block, an upper tower, a two-layer table, a limit locking device, a lifter, a lower tower, an upright tower cylinder, an upright tower support, a fall tower support and a drilling tower chassis. The crown block is formed by three front and two back block groups, to be connected on the top of the upper tower via bolts, the drilling tower chassis is integral steel, the upright tower support is welded into A-shaped support via welding rectangle square tube to be welded on the drilling tower chassis, the lower and upper towers are welded via seamless steel tube into truss structure, the lower tower and the upright tower support are connected via a hinge base, the upper tower is sheathed in the lower tower, the upright tower cylinder is formed by two-stage flexible cylinder, the two-layer table is welded from steel tubes to be connected at 12.5-8.2m of the drilling tower via flanges, and the fall tower support is welded from section steel. The invention can drill 18m deep, with improved bearing ability, high efficiency and reduced cost.
