Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drilling rig construction, and relates to a mud wall protection drilling rig and a method, in particular to a mud wall protection drilling rig and a method suitable for karst areas. Background Art
[0002] At present, drilling rigs are widely used in the construction of infrastructure projects such as buildings and railways. As key infrastructure projects, the construction quality and efficiency of drilling rigs are of vital importance. Mud wall drilling rigs have always been favored by the engineering community because of their fast drilling speed, high pile-making efficiency, and good hole-making quality.
[0003] However, in practice, many construction sites are located in karst areas, where caves and weak interlayers are present. This causes the holes formed during drilling for cast-in-place piles, anchor bolts, geological exploration, and other projects in these interlayers to collapse, resulting in substandard drilling quality. This forces construction workers to slow down the drilling speed and adjust the mud material and proportion, seriously affecting the efficiency of the mud wall drilling rig and the quality of subsequent construction, resulting in economic losses. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and provide a mud wall protection drilling rig and method suitable for karst areas, which can quickly and effectively realize the wall protection process of the surrounding rock layer during the drilling process of the drilling rig, thereby avoiding the problems of low drilling efficiency and poor drilling quality caused by the collapse of the hole.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] The present invention provides a mud wall protection drilling rig suitable for karst areas, comprising a control device, an air pump, a mud injection device, a hot air flow ejection device, a drill rod and a drill bit. The drill rod is arranged at the axis position of the drill bit and is connected to the tail of the drill bit. The mud output end of the drill rod is connected to a sedimentation tank through a mud conveying pipe; the mud injection device is sleeved on the drill rod and connected to the mud tank through a mud conveying pipe; the hot air flow ejection device is sleeved on the drill rod and connected to the air pump through an air conveying pipe; the air pump, the drill bit, the mud injection device and the hot air flow ejection device are all communicatively connected or electrically connected to the control device.

[0008] Preferably, a power sensor is further provided in the drill bit cavity, and the power sensor is communicatively connected or electrically connected to the control device.
[0009] Preferably, an air flow control valve is provided on the air delivery pipe between the inflation pump and the hot air flow ejection device, and the air flow control valve is communicatively connected or electrically connected to the control device.
[0010] Preferably, a mud control valve is provided on the mud delivery pipe between the mud injection device and the mud pool, and the mud control valve is communicatively connected or electrically connected to the control device.
[0011] Preferably, the mud injection device is a circular ring structure with a cavity, and the cavity of the circular ring structure is connected to the mud conveying pipe.
[0012] Preferably, the mud injection device is provided with a plurality of mud injection holes in a circumferential direction along the outer wall of the annular structure.
[0013] Preferably, the hot air flow ejection device is a circular ring structure, and a plurality of ejection holes are circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the circular ring.
[0014] Preferably, a harness protection device is provided between the inner wall of the drill rod and the internal harness thereof, for preventing the mud in the drill rod from damaging the harness inside the rod.
[0015] A mud wall protection method suitable for karst areas using the above-mentioned wall protection drilling rig comprises the following steps:
[0016] S1: Dig sedimentation tanks and mud pools according to construction requirements;
[0017] S2: Obtain the rock layer structure and prepare the required concrete slurry in the slurry pool according to the designed proportion based on the rock layer structure;
[0018] S3: starting the control device to control the drill bit to drill forward, pressing the drilled concrete slurry with rock layer fragments into the drill rod, and transporting the concrete slurry with rock layer fragments to the sedimentation tank through the drill rod and the mud pipe (6);
[0019] S4: obtaining power information of the drill bit and mechanical information of the rock and soil layer when drilling forward;
[0020] S5: Based on the information obtained in S4, determine whether the rock and soil layer needs to be reinforced; if yes, execute S6-S8 in sequence; if not, execute S8 directly;
[0021] S6: The mud in the mud pool is introduced into the mud injection device, and the concrete mud is sprayed onto the soft soil layer or the rock cave surface around the drill bit;

[0025] The present invention utilizes a mud injection device and a hot air jet device mounted on the drill pipe, allowing the drill rig to simultaneously spray concrete slurry onto the rock layer surrounding the drill bit and onto the hole walls that require reinforcement. The hot air jet device rapidly dries and solidifies the slurry, forming a protective wall, effectively reinforcing karst caves and weak interlayers, preventing hole collapse. Furthermore, the hot air jet from the hot air jet device directly blows onto the concrete slurry within the hole, adding an upward force to the drilling fluid and slurry, increasing slurry rotation efficiency and further improving drilling efficiency. The simple device and low modification cost effectively improve construction efficiency and reduce economic losses caused by hole collapse.
[0026] In addition, the setting of control devices, cutting force sensors and power sensors realizes the intelligent spraying protection of the entire wall protection drilling rig, which can not only effectively improve construction efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of construction workers, but also save mud and reduce construction costs.
[0027] By utilizing the above-mentioned mud wall drilling rig method, mud is sprayed on the surrounding rock formations to reinforce them during the drilling process of the drill bit, and high-temperature airflow is sprayed, so that the hole wall after the mud is sprayed can quickly form a protective wall, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the hole from collapsing. This method has a clear principle and is easy to implement. It greatly improves the construction efficiency of construction personnel, improves the drilling quality, and effectively reduces the economic losses caused by hole collapse.

[0042] See also Figure 3 The present invention also provides a mud wall protection method suitable for karst areas using the above-mentioned wall protection drilling rig, comprising the following steps:
[0043] S1: Digging a sedimentation tank 7 and a mud pool 4 according to construction requirements: To ensure that the mud wall drilling rig and other facilities work normally and safely, the site must first be designed and arranged according to construction requirements, and a sedimentation tank 7 and a mud pool 4 must be dug.
[0044] S2: Obtain the rock layer structure, and prepare the required concrete mud in the mud pool 4 according to the rock layer structure and the designed ratio: artificially prepare the mud required for drilling (clay, bentonite, etc.) and concrete mud.
[0045] S3: Start the control device 1 to control the drill bit 11 to drill forward, press the drilled concrete mud with rock layer fragments into the drill rod 13, and transport the concrete mud with rock layer fragments to the sedimentation tank 7 through the drill rod 13 and the mud pipe 6, so that the mud required for drilling can be recycled.
[0046] S4: Obtaining the power information of the drill bit 11 and the mechanical information of the rock and soil layer when it drills forward: Using the thin-walled cylindrical cutting force sensor and the power sensor 10, obtain the power information of the drill bit 11 and the mechanical information of the rock and soil layer when it drills forward, and transmit the information to the control device 1.
[0047] S5: Based on the information obtained in S4, determine whether the rock and soil layer needs to be reinforced; if yes, execute S6-S8 in sequence; if no, execute S8 directly: if the cutting force of the drill bit 11 is less than ten kilonewtons, it is determined that the mechanical properties of the rock and soil layer are poor; or when the cutting force of the drill bit fluctuates and the power is relatively small, it is necessary to further determine whether the group of strata needs to be reinforced. If the group of strata needs to be sprayed with concrete mud, execute the next step.
[0048] S6: The mud in the mud pool 4 is introduced into the mud injection device 12, and concrete mud is sprayed onto the soft soil layer or rock cave surface around the drill bit 11: the control device 1 is used to start the mud control valve 5, and the concrete mud is sent into the inner ring of the mud injection device 12 through the mud conveying pipe 14, and the mud injection device 12 is started to spray the concrete mud through the mud injection hole onto the rock and soil layer to be reinforced.
[0049] S7: Use the control device 1 to control the air pump 2 to pump the superheated air flow to the hot air flow ejection device 8, and spray the superheated air flow on the soft soil layer or cave sprayed with concrete mud to solidify the concrete mud: Use the control device 1 to start the air flow control valve 3, and transport the high-temperature air flow to the hot air flow ejection device 8 through the air pipe 15, and spray it onto the rock and soil layer sprayed with concrete mud, so that it can be quickly air-dried to complete the reinforcement of the rock and soil layer. The hot air flow is directly blown onto the freshly ejected concrete mud to accelerate the solidification speed of the concrete mud. It can also add an upward force to the drilling fluid and mud, making the mud rotation efficiency higher and further improving the rotation efficiency.
[0050] S8: The hole drilled by the drill bit 11 is inspected. After passing the inspection, underwater concrete pouring is performed on it and the hole is cleaned to complete the mud wall protection process in the karst area. According to national standards, when the hole position deviation of the hole drilled by the drill bit 11 is less than or equal to 30mm and the verticality is less than 1%, it is checked twice with a sediment thickness meter or a heavy hammer to ensure that the sediment at the bottom of the hole is less than or equal to 50mm, the curvature of the steel cage is less than 1%, and the pile top elevation is controlled within 1D (the outer diameter of the pile foundation end) and greater than or equal to 600mm, the hole quality is judged to be qualified.
