AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing underwater hole opening equipment cannot complete the opening, sealing and fixing of the double-layer shell/bottom structure hull at one time, resulting in long process flow, complex equipment structure, and high operational difficulty and cost.

Method used

A drill bit including an outer drill bit and an inner drill bit is designed. It is connected by shears. The outer drill bit is responsible for opening and outer sealing, and the inner drill bit is responsible for the inner sealing and fixing, and sealing is achieved using a barb-shaped pressing ring and compression sealing ring. After the shears are broken, the inner drill bit independently completes the inner hole and sealing.

Benefits of technology

The opening, sealing and fixing of the double-layer shell/bottom structure hull is achieved at one time underwater, reducing the difficulty of operation and operating costs, and is suitable for hulls of different spacings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0015] A drill bit for opening holes in the hull of a double-layer hull / bottom structure, which consists of two major parts: an outer drill bit and an inner drill bit. The inner drill bit and the outer drill bit are connected by shear pins 13. Above the outer saw-shaped hole saw 1 in the outer drill bit, it is connected to the outer tap 2. Above the outer tap 2, it is connected to the outer sealing thread 3. Above the outer sealing thread 3, it is connected to the outer drill bit body 5. The outside of the outer drill bit body 5 is connected to the outer sealing baffle 4. In the inner drill bit, above the inner saw-shaped hole saw 16, it is connected to the inner tap 15. Above the inner tap 15, it is connected to the inner sealing thread 14. Above the inner sealing thread 14, it is connected to the central pipe 8. The outside of the central pipe 8 is connected to the inner sealing baffle 6. Above it, it is connected to the valve 9. Above the valve 9, it is connected to the quick connector 10. A compression sealing ring 12 is arranged in the annulus between the outer drill bit body 5 and the central pipe 8. An annular gasket 7 is placed above the compression sealing ring 12. A barbed compression ring 11 is placed on the annular gasket 7. The barbed structure on the outside of the barbed compression ring 11 matches the barbed structure in the inner control of the outer drill bit body 5. After the outer drill bit completes hole opening and sealing, the torque between the inner drill bit and the outer drill bit exceeds the yield strength of the shear pins, and the shear pins are cut off to achieve the separation between the inner drill bit and the outer drill bit. After the inner drill bit completes hole opening and sealing, the barbed compression ring 11 is pressed downwards. During the downward movement of the barbed compression ring 11, it locks with the barbed structure of the outer drill bit body and presses the annular gasket 7 to move downwards. The annular gasket 7 presses the compression sealing ring 12 to expand, completing the sealing between the central pipe 8 of the inner drill bit and the outer drill bit, and the hole opening of the double-layer hull / bottom is completed.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] A drill bit for opening holes in the hull of a double - hull / bottom structure relates to a drill bit that can perform operations such as opening holes, sealing, and fixing on the hull of a double - hull / bottom structure underwater in an uninterrupted step. A drill bit for opening holes in the hull of a double - hull ship, used in conjunction with a special underwater hole - opening machine, includes an outer serrated hole - opening drill bit 1, an outer tap 2, an outer sealing thread 3, an outer sealing baffle 4, an outer drill bit body 5, an inner sealing baffle 6, an annular gasket 7, a central tube 8, a valve 9, a quick - connector 10, a barbed compression ring 11, a compression sealing ring 12, a shear pin 13, an inner sealing thread 14, an inner tap 15, and an inner serrated hole - opening drill bit 16. The central tube 8 rotates with the power tong of the underwater hole - opening machine and moves towards the hull in a direction perpendicular to the hole - opening surface. The outer serrated hole - opening drill bit 1 drills a round hole in the outer hull under the action of pressure and torque. The outer tap 2 continues to move with the central tube and drills an internal thread on the inner side of the drilled round hole. The outer sealing thread 3 is connected to the thread tapped by the outer tap 2 during the continuous drilling process. A sealing gasket 17 is provided at the bottom of the outer sealing baffle 4, which forms a second seal by pressing on the outer hull under the action of the tensile force of the thread. After the outer sealing baffle 4 is tightened, the resistance to the central tube 8 rises sharply. Therefore, the torque borne by the shear pin 13 also rises sharply, exceeding its shear yield limit and breaking. After that, the central tube 8, the inner sealing thread 14, the inner tap 15, and the inner serrated hole - opening drill bit 16 continue to feed along the original direction until the inner serrated hole - opening drill bit 16 reaches the inner hull of the ship and drills a round hole. The inner tap 15 continues to feed with the inner serrated hole - opening drill bit 16 and taps an internal thread on the inner layer of the drilled round hole. The inner sealing thread 14 is connected to the tapped internal thread during the continuous feeding process. Subsequently, the inner sealing baffle 6 is tightened on the inner hull of the ship to form a second seal. The barbed compression ring 11 is pressed along the central tube 8 towards the drill bit direction. The barbed compression ring 11 transmits the pressure to the annular gasket 7 and the compression sealing ring 12. The compression sealing ring 12 contracts radially under the action of pressure and seals with the central tube 8 until a seal is formed. The barbed compression ring 11 is locked with the barbed structure of the outer drill bit body 5, and the processes of opening holes, sealing, and fixing are completed. The present invention can complete operations such as opening holes, sealing, and fixing on the double - hull / bottom ship hull at one time, greatly reducing the workload of underwater operations; it can be applied to hulls with different distances between the inner and outer hulls / bottoms of the ship.
