Specifically, the elastic member 41 can be a telescopic spring, and both ends of the telescopic spring respectively abut between the abutting plate 314 and the support plate 339 to achieve shock absorption.

[0036] Specifically, a first key groove 341 is formed on the inner side of the drive sleeve body 334 to accommodate the connection key 39. The number of the first key grooves 341 can be multiple, and the multiple first key grooves 341 can be arranged circumferentially along the drive sleeve body 334. The first key groove 341 can be arranged at the other end of the drive sleeve 33 opposite to the end where the guide key 335 is provided, that is, the first key groove 341 and the flange portion 332 are located at the same end of the drive sleeve body 334.

The semi-circular portion is located at one end of the rectangular portion, and the end of the rectangular portion is flush with the end of the drive sleeve body 334, that is, one end of the first key groove 341 is open to facilitate the installation of the connection key 39.

[0037] Specifically, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9, on the inner side of the driving sleeve body 334, there is a driving key 343 for cooperating with the drill pipe 90 of the rotary drilling rig. On the outer side wall of the drill pipe 90, there is an outer drill pipe key 902 to cooperate with the driving member 343 to realize the connection between the driving sleeve 32 and the drill pipe 90, so that the drill pipe 90 can rotate together with the driving sleeve 33 and the transmission shaft 35. The number of the driving keys 343 can be multiple, and the multiple driving keys 343 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the driving sleeve body 334.

[0038] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 10 to 11 , the transmission shaft 35 is a hollow cylindrical shape.

[0039] Specifically, on the inner side of the transmission shaft 35, there is also a boss 354 protruding towards the inside of the transmission shaft 35, and the second keyway 352 is arranged on the boss 354. By arranging the boss 354, the distance from the fastener 37 to the edge of the boss 354 can be effectively increased, that is, the distance from the fastener 37 to the driving sleeve body 334 can be increased, the fillet weld between the driving sleeve body 334 and the flange part 332 can be increased. On the one hand, the connection strength between the driving sleeve body 334 and the flange part 332 can be increased, and on the other hand, there is enough space to facilitate the installation of the fastener 37; at the same time, the boss 354 can also ensure the opening position of the second keyway 352. Specifically, the boss 354 is arranged at one end of the transmission shaft 35 adjacent to the driving sleeve.

[0040] Specifically, at one end of the transmission shaft 35 adjacent to the driving sleeve 33, there is also a connection hole 356 for connecting with the fastener 37. Specifically, the connection hole 356 is arranged at the position of the transmission shaft 35 where the boss 354 is provided to increase the distance between the connection hole 356 and the driving sleeve 33 when the transmission shaft 35 is connected to the driving sleeve 33. Specifically, the connection hole 356 can be a threaded hole. The fastener 37 can specifically be a bolt, and the fastener 37 passes through the installation hole 337 and is threadedly connected with the connection hole 356. Specifically, the connection hole 356 is arranged on the end face of the transmission shaft 35, that is, on the top of the transmission shaft 35.

[0041] Specifically, a connection part 358 is also provided on the outer side of the transmission shaft 35 to connect the gear 45, so as to transmit the power to the transmission shaft 35 and then to the drill pipe 90. The gear 45 can be connected to the connection part 358 of the transmission shaft 35 through a locking member 47.

[0042] Specifically, a pin hole 359 is also formed on the transmission shaft 35. Specifically, the pin hole 359 transversely penetrates the side wall of the transmission shaft 35. The pin hole 359 is formed at the opposite end of the transmission shaft 35 from the end connected to the drive sleeve 33. Specifically, the number of the pin holes 359 can be multiple, and the multiple pin holes 359 can be arranged along the circumferential direction of the transmission shaft 35.

[0043] Specifically, a mud-proof hole 361 is also formed at the opposite end of the transmission shaft 35 from the end connected to the drive sleeve 33, so that the muddy water lifted by the drill pipe is discharged from here. Specifically, the mud-proof hole 361 is formed on the end face of the transmission shaft 35. The number of the mud-proof holes 361 can be multiple.

[0044] Please refer to again Figure 3 The power head driving structure further includes a pressure plate 49, and the pressure plate 49 is connected to the end of the transmission shaft 35 opposite to the drive sleeve 33. Specifically, the pressure plate 49 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 35 through a connecting member 51. More specifically, a fixing plate 492 is provided on the pressure plate 49, and the connecting member 51 is a pin shaft, which passes through the fixing plate 492 of the pressure plate 49 and the pin hole 359 of the transmission shaft 35, so as to fixedly connect the pressure plate 49 to the transmission shaft 35.

[0045] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the connection key 39 can also be directly formed on the transmission shaft 35 or the drive sleeve 33 by integral molding or the like, and then cooperate with the key groove on the drive sleeve 33 or the transmission shaft 35. The connection key 39 can also be fixed on the transmission shaft 35 or the drive sleeve 33 by welding or the like, and then cooperate with the key groove on the drive sleeve 33 or the transmission shaft 35. It can be understood that the connection key 39 can also be fixed on the end face of the drive sleeve 33 (i.e., the bottom of the drive sleeve 33), and a key groove is formed on the end face of the transmission shaft 35, so that the connection key 39 cooperates with the key groove. It can be understood that the connection key 39 can also be fixed on the end face of the transmission shaft 35 (i.e., the top of the transmission shaft 35), and a key groove is formed on the end face of the drive sleeve 33, so that the connection key 39 cooperates with the key groove.

[0046] In the power head driving structure of the present invention, since the drive disk and the transmission shaft are connected not only by fasteners but also by a connection key, when subjected to a radial force, the connection key can resist the radial force, and when subjected to an eccentric load, the connection key can resist the eccentric load. Therefore, the strength of the power head driving structure is greatly improved, and the ability of the power head driving structure to resist loads is improved. In this way, the fasteners can also be protected and are not easily cut off under the action of the radial force.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 12, the present invention also provides a rotary drilling rig, which includes the above-mentioned power head drive structure.
