The invention belongs to the technical field of drilling machines, and particularly relates to a drilling machine for exploration engineering. The drilling machine comprises an L-shaped mud blocking rod, a jack, a Z-shaped rod, a sleeve, a spring, a connecting rod, a mounting frame, a guide rod, a first chain wheel, a threaded rod, a sliding block, a first motor, a shaft rod, a second chain wheel,a chain, a push handle, a fixing rod, a mounting plate, a second motor, a drill pipe, rollers, a U-shaped plate and a steel wire brush. According to the drilling machine for the exploration engineering, due to the cooperation of the chain wheels, the threaded rod, the mounting plate, the sliding block, the jack and the chain, better and quicker drilling can be carried out, the working intensity of workers is greatly reduced, a large amount of labor is liberated, and meanwhile, the drilling efficiency is improved. The steel wire brush, the L-shaped mud blocking rod, the sleeve, the spring andthe U-shaped plate are matched with one another so that soil on the surface of the drill pipe can be better cleaned away, the problem that the drilling efficiency is poor due to too much soil on the surface of the drill pipe is avoided, and the drilling time is greatly shortened.
