Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of coal mine underground tunnel drilling, and relates to a wired transmission drill rod, in particular to a bidirectional self-locking transmission wired transmission drill rod for coal mine underground directional drilling and a method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The drill rod is one of important components of the coal mine underground directional drilling equipment, which mainly plays functions of transmitting the drilling power of the drilling machine, conveying the flushing fluid provided by the mud pump, and assisting the borehole-in and borehole-out data communication of the measurement-while-drilling system.

[0003] The wired transmission drill rod is a special drill rod used in cooperation with the wired measurement-while-drilling system, and currently mainly adopts a center cable passing structure. For example, the authorized invention patent ZL200710018252.7 realizes high-speed transmission of the borehole-in and borehole-out bidirectional signals, but has the following disadvantages in actual use.

[0004] (A) High failure rate of hard connection of the center cable passing device. When the existing wired transmission drill rod is connected, the drill rod body and the center cable passing device are synchronously connected, and the center cable passing device needs to bear a large torque and thrust force, so that the connection is easily damaged, resulting in a high overall failure rate of the drill rod and affecting the transmission stability.

[0005] (B) Easy loosening of the drill rod connection. The existing wired transmission drill rod is connected by using the male thread and the female thread at both ends of the drill rod body, and the male thread and the female thread generally adopt a normal thread. When the drill rod is rotated in the normal direction, the thread connection is firm, but when the drill rod is rotated in the reverse direction for disassembly or is alternately rotated in the normal direction and the reverse direction for drag reduction drilling in the long hole, the thread of the drill rod in the hole is easily loosened, resulting in accidents such as drill rod falling in the hole.

[0006] (C) Low accident handling capacity. In the directional drilling construction process, accidents such as hole sticking and drill sticking are inevitable. The existing wired transmission drill rod only has a normal direction rotation transmission function, and cannot meet the needs of normal direction and reverse direction alternating rotation vibration for unblocking and reverse rotation of all drill tools for drill pulling out, so that the accident handling means is single, the handling cost is high, and the success rate is low.

[0023] The application also protects a use method of the bidirectional self-locking transmission wired drill rod for underground directional drilling of a coal mine, which comprises the following steps:

[0024] Step one, initial state:

[0025] Before the drill rod is used, the first thrust seat and the reciprocating seat of the transmission assembly are located at the front end under the elastic force of the elastic body, and the positioning ball is exposed from the bottom of the positioning cavity of the limiting ball seat under the limitation of the reciprocating seat.

[0026] Step two, drill rod installation:

[0027] The outer wall of the male joint is machined with a male thread, and the inner wall of the female joint is machined with a female thread; for the adjacent front drill pipe and rear drill pipe to be connected, the drill pipe clamp of the drilling machine clamps the front drill pipe, the power head of the drilling machine rotates the rear drill pipe in the forward direction, the female thread of the female joint of the rear drill pipe is connected with the male thread of the male joint of the front drill pipe, the locking shaft of the locking seat of the front drill pipe pushes the positioning ball of the rear drill pipe to move radially outward to retract the positioning cavity, and the positioning ball of the rear drill pipe pushes the reciprocating seat and the first thrust seat of the rear drill pipe to move backward, compressing the elastic body and moving the whole transmission assembly backward.

[0028] After the female thread of the female joint of the rear drill pipe is connected with the male thread of the male joint of the front drill pipe, the positioning cavity of the limiting ball seat of the rear drill pipe is opposite to the arc-shaped groove on the locking seat of the front drill pipe, the elastic body of the rear drill pipe pushes the first thrust seat and the reciprocating seat of the rear drill pipe to move forward, so that the positioning ball moves radially inward to expose the positioning cavity and enter the arc-shaped groove; at the same time, the first thrust boss of the limiting ball seat of the rear drill pipe is in contact with the fourth thrust boss of the second thrust seat of the front drill pipe, the fastening transmission assembly of the front drill pipe is limited and cannot move axially; the fastening transmission assembly of the rear drill pipe is not limited and can move axially.

[0029] Step three, drill pipe locking:

[0030] After repeating step two to complete the addition of all drill pipes, a fastening water feeder is added to the tail of the last drill pipe, the inner core of the fastening water feeder is in contact with the second thrust seat of the last drill pipe, and the fastening transmission assembly of the last drill pipe is limited and cannot move axially; at this time, the fastening transmission assemblies of the first drill pipe to the last drill pipe are all limited and cannot move axially, and the connection between the first drill pipe and the last drill pipe is all locked.

[0031] Step four, directional drilling or accident handling:

[0032] The drill pipe is rotated by the drilling machine in the forward direction, in the reverse direction, or in the alternating forward and reverse directions to perform directional drilling or in-hole accident handling.

[0033] Step five, drill pipe unlocking:

[0034] The fastening water feeder is removed from the tail of the last drill pipe, the fastening transmission assembly of the last drill pipe is unblocked and restores the axial movement function; the fastening transmission assemblies of the remaining drill pipes continue to be blocked and remain in the locked state.

[0035] Step six, drill pipe disassembly:

[0036] The front drill rod is clamped using the drill rig chuck, and the rear drill rod is rotated in the opposite direction using the drill rig power head. The female thread of the rear drill rod disengages from the male thread of the front drill rod. The locking shaft of the front drill rod locking seat pushes the positioning ball of the rear drill rod to move outward and retract into the positioning chamber. The positioning ball of the rear drill rod pushes its reciprocating seat and the first thrust seat to move backward, compressing the elastic body, and the entire tightening transmission assembly moves backward. At the same time, the first thrust boss of the limiting ball seat of the rear drill rod gradually disengages from the fourth thrust boss of the second thrust seat of the front drill rod. The tightening transmission assembly of the front drill rod is released from its limit and restores its axial movement function. After the threads are untangled, the rear drill rod is removed from the drill rig.

[0037] In step two, after the female thread of the rear drill rod is connected to the male thread of the front drill rod, the male plug of the rear drill rod enters the second thrust seat of the front drill rod, the conical spring of the rear drill rod contacts the female socket of the front drill rod, and the locking transmission assembly of the rear drill rod and the locking transmission assembly of the front drill rod are electrically connected to form a wired signal transmission channel inside and outside the hole.

[0038] Step four includes three operating conditions: forward rotary transmission, reverse rotary transmission, and alternating forward and reverse rotary transmission.

[0039] The aforementioned forward rotary transmission condition:

[0040] When the drilling rig rotates the drill rod in the forward direction, the adjacent drill rods with positive thread connection continue to maintain a tight connection and transmit the forward rotation power to the bottom of the hole.

[0041] The aforementioned reverse rotary transmission condition:

[0042] When the drill rod reverses, the connecting threads of adjacent drill rods are subjected to loosening torque, causing them to tend to separate. Under the pressure of the tightening transmission component, the reciprocating seat keeps the positioning ball within the locking seat. There is no relative movement between the locking seat and the positioning ball. Adjacent drill rods lack loosening space and continue to maintain a tight connection, transmitting the reverse rotation power to the bottom of the hole.

[0043] The aforementioned alternating forward and reverse rotation transmission condition:

[0044] When the drill rod is rotated alternately in both forward and reverse directions, adjacent drill rods remain tightly connected in the forward rotation and in the reverse rotation, and the power of the alternating forward and reverse rotation is transmitted to the bottom of the hole.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0046] (I) The application adopts the technical means of floating connection, axial limiting and root-by-root locking and unlocking, realizes the lossless flexible connection, bidirectional rotary self-locking and bidirectional power transmission of the wired transmission drill rod transmission assembly, improves the working reliability and use safety of the wired transmission drill rod, and provides protection for the super-long directional hole construction and hole accident prevention and treatment.

[0047] (II) The signal transmission assembly of the application is lossless and flexible. The fastening transmission assembly of the drill rod can move axially in the drill rod body. During the drill rod adding process, the fastening transmission assembly of the rear drill rod moves backward and does not contact the fastening transmission assembly of the front drill rod. After the drill rod is added, the fastening transmission assembly of the front drill rod is locked by the limiting ball seat of the rear drill rod, and under the action of the elastic body, the fastening transmission assembly of the rear drill rod moves forward and contacts the fastening transmission assembly of the front drill rod, but the fastening transmission assembly of the rear drill rod is not locked. During the whole drill rod adding process, the fastening transmission assembly of the drill rod does not bear the connection torque and propelling force of the drill rod, thereby improving the service life of the fastening transmission assembly and the stability of signal transmission.

[0048] (III) The drill rod of the application is connected and fastened during forward and reverse rotation. The locking seat of the front drill rod cooperates with the limiting ball seat, the positioning ball and the reciprocating seat of the rear drill rod to axially limit and lock the connecting thread between the adjacent drill rods, so that the adjacent drill rods lack a loosening space and are always in a fastened connection state during forward and reverse rotation.

[0049] (IV) The drill rod locking of the application does not affect the drill rod disassembly. During the drill rod adding process, the drill rods are locked root by root, and after each drill rod is added, the previous drill rod is locked, and the last drill rod remains unlocked. During the drill rod disassembly process, the drill rods are unlocked root by root, and after each drill rod is disassembled, the previous drill rod is unlocked, and the remaining drill rods remain locked, so that the drill rod loosening does not occur during the disassembly process.

[0050] (V) The automatic locking and unlocking of the application has high reliability. The drill rod mainly relies on the axial movement of the reciprocating seat and the fastening transmission assembly for axial limiting, root-by-root locking and root-by-root unlocking, and the power mainly comes from the spatial installation relationship of the limiting ball seat, the first thrust seat and the second thrust seat and the elastic force of the elastic body, so that the locking and unlocking have high reliability and stability without external power.

During drill rod disassembly, from back to front, the positioning ball, locking seat, reciprocating seat, and tightening transmission assembly of each drill rod are unlocked one by one.

[0093] This embodiment describes the method of using the bidirectional self-locking wired transmission drill rod for directional drilling in coal mines, as given in Embodiment 1. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0094] Step 1, Initial State:

[0095] Before the drill pipe is used, the first thrust seat 801 and the reciprocating seat 4 of the tightening transmission assembly 8 are located at the foremost position under the elastic force of the elastic body 807, and the positioning ball 3 is exposed from the bottom of the positioning chamber 204 of the limiting ball seat 2 under the restriction of the reciprocating seat 4.

[0096] Step 2, Drill pipe installation:

[0097] The outer wall of the male connector 101 is machined with male threads, and the inner wall of the female connector 102 is machined with female threads. For adjacent front and rear drill rods to be connected, the drill rig's chuck clamps the front drill rod, and the drill rig's power head rotates the rear drill rod in the forward direction, connecting the female thread of the rear drill rod's female connector 102 with the male thread of the front drill rod's male connector 101. The locking shaft 501 of the locking seat 5 of the front drill rod pushes the positioning ball 3 of the rear drill rod to move radially outward and retract the positioning chamber 204. The positioning ball 3 of the rear drill rod pushes the reciprocating seat 4 and the first thrust seat 801 of the rear drill rod to move backward, compressing the elastic body 807, and the entire tightening transmission assembly 8 moves backward.

[0098] After the female thread of the female connector 102 of the rear drill rod is connected to the male thread of the male connector 101 of the front drill rod, the positioning chamber 204 of the limiting ball seat 2 of the rear drill rod is opposite to the arc groove 503 on the locking seat 5 of the front drill rod. The elastic body 807 of the rear drill rod pushes the first thrust seat 801 and the reciprocating seat 4 of the rear drill rod forward, causing the positioning ball 3 to move radially inward to expose the positioning chamber 204 and enter the arc groove 503. At the same time, the first thrust boss 203 of the limiting ball seat 2 of the rear drill rod contacts the fourth thrust boss 80304 of the second thrust seat 803 of the front drill rod. The locking transmission assembly 8 of the front drill rod is limited and cannot move axially. The locking transmission assembly 8 of the rear drill rod is not limited and can move axially.

[0099] As a preferred embodiment, in step two, after the female thread of the rear drill rod is connected to the male thread of the front drill rod, the male plug 804 of the rear drill rod enters the second thrust seat 803 of the front drill rod, the conical spring 805 of the rear drill rod contacts the female socket 806 of the front drill rod, and the locking transmission component 8 of the rear drill rod and the locking transmission component 8 of the front drill rod are electrically connected to form a wired signal transmission channel inside and outside the hole.

[0100] Step 3, Drill pipe locking:

[0101] After repeating step two to complete the installation of all drill rods, add a water supply fastener to the tail of the last drill rod. The inner core of the water supply fastener contacts the second thrust seat 803 of the last drill rod, and the locking transmission assembly 8 of the last drill rod is limited and cannot move axially. At this time, the locking transmission assemblies 8 from the first drill rod to the last drill rod are all limited and cannot move axially, and the connection between the first drill rod and the last drill rod is completely locked.

[0102] Step 4, directional drilling or accident handling:

[0103] The drill rod is rotated forward, backward, or alternately in both directions by the drilling rig to carry out directional drilling or handle accidents inside the hole.

[0104] As a preferred embodiment, step four includes three working conditions: forward rotary transmission, reverse rotary transmission, and alternating forward and reverse rotary transmission.

[0105] Forward rotary transmission operation:

[0106] When the drilling rig rotates the drill rod in the forward direction, the adjacent drill rods with positive thread connection continue to maintain a tight connection and transmit the forward rotation power to the bottom of the hole.

[0107] Reverse rotary transmission operation:

[0108] When the drill rod reverses, the connecting threads of adjacent drill rods are subjected to loosening torque, resulting in a tendency to separate. Under the pressure of the tightening transmission component 8, the reciprocating seat 4 keeps the positioning ball 3 within the locking seat 5. The locking seat 5 and the positioning ball 3 cannot generate relative movement. The adjacent drill rods lack loosening space and continue to maintain a tight connection, transmitting the reverse rotation power to the bottom of the hole.

[0109] Alternating forward and reverse rotation transmission operation:

[0110] When the drill rod is rotated alternately in both forward and reverse directions, adjacent drill rods remain tightly connected in the forward rotation and in the reverse rotation, and the power of the alternating forward and reverse rotation is transmitted to the bottom of the hole.

[0111] Step 5, unlock the drill pipe:

[0112] Remove the water supply device from the tail of the last drill rod. The locking transmission assembly 8 of the last drill rod is released from its limit and the axial movement function is restored. The locking transmission assemblies 8 of the remaining drill rods remain locked and limited.

[0113] Step 6, Drill pipe disassembly:

[0114] The front drill rod is clamped using the drill rig chuck, and the rear drill rod is rotated in the opposite direction using the drill rig power head. The female thread of the rear drill rod disengages from the male thread of the front drill rod. The locking shaft 501 of the front drill rod locking seat 5 pushes the positioning ball 3 of the rear drill rod to move outward and retract into the positioning chamber 204. The positioning ball 3 of the rear drill rod pushes its reciprocating seat 4 and the first thrust seat 801 to move backward, compressing the elastic body 807. The entire tightening transmission assembly 8 moves backward. At the same time, the first thrust boss 203 of the limiting ball seat 2 of the rear drill rod gradually disengages from the fourth thrust boss 80304 of the second thrust seat 803 of the front drill rod. The tightening transmission assembly 8 of the front drill rod is released from its limit and resumes its axial movement function. After the threads are untangled, the rear drill rod is removed from the drill rig.
