Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geological drilling technology, and in particular relates to a pressure sealing hole water stopper for geological drilling. Background Technology
[0002] Geological drilling is one of the most important geological exploration methods. Drilling rigs allow for the extraction of geological samples from different depths within the borehole, facilitating geological surveys of the area. However, during geological drilling, water backflow often occurs. If this phenomenon is not controlled, it can lead to significant water accumulation in the borehole, affecting the accuracy of the sample composition. To prevent water backflow, pressure-sealed borehole stoppers are used. These stoppers prevent water backflow within the borehole, ensuring the integrity of the samples taken. However, their practical application still has the following drawbacks:
[0003] 1. Existing pressure sealing hole water stoppers used in geological drilling are required not only to prevent water from flowing back up, but also to work well with the drilling rig. Therefore, the pressure sealing hole water stopper needs to contact the drill bit. However, as the drill bit rotates, there will be a certain gap between the pressure sealing hole water stopper and the drill bit, and some water will still flow back up through this gap.
[0004] 2. Existing pressure sealing hole water stoppers used for geological drilling cannot complete the task of watering the drill bit inside the hole to assist drilling work, because the water-stopping work is bidirectional rather than unidirectional. This not only greatly reduces the service life of the drill bit during prolonged drilling, but also causes the contact surface between the pressure sealing hole water stopper and the drill bit to become too hot.
[0005] 3. Existing pressure sealing borehole waterstops used in geological drilling are mostly made of metal to ensure their sustainability during use. The bottom inner wall of the waterstop is in contact with the drill rod, while its outer side is in contact with the water in the borehole. Since the water is permeable, it is easy for it to seep back into the interior of the waterstop.
[0006] Therefore, existing pressure sealing borehole stoppers for geological drilling cannot meet the needs of actual use, so there is an urgent need for improved technologies to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressure-sealing hole waterstop for geological drilling. Both the inner nest and the anti-detachment rubber sleeve are made of rubber material, which has high toughness and ensures a tight seal when in contact with the drill bit. The height of the waterstop plug within the plug cover can be adjusted via a pressure component. When the waterstop plug and plug cover are in an extended state, the water outlet on the outer wall of the waterstop plug is exposed, allowing water to flow from the top of the plug cover to the bottom. When the plug cover and waterstop plug are in a contracted state, the water outlet is sealed inside the plug cover, thus achieving a sealing and water-stopping effect. This solves the problems of existing pressure-sealing hole waterstops for geological drilling.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0009] This invention relates to a pressure sealing hole water stopper for geological drilling, comprising a plug cover, a water-stopping plug, and a pressure assembly. The plug cover has a fixing frame inside, and the water-stopping plug is snapped onto the bottom side wall of the plug cover. An outlet pipe is welded onto the bottom side wall of the water-stopping plug, and the pressure assembly is installed on the upper side wall of the water-stopping plug.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper side wall of the plug cover is provided with a fixing groove, and there are four fixing grooves in total, which are respectively located at the four quadrant points of the plug cover. The bottom side wall of the plug cover is provided with an adjustment groove; the adjustment groove is arranged in an L-shaped structure, and one end of the adjustment groove is sealed inside the plug cover, while the other end is hollowed out and opened on the bottom side wall of the plug cover.
[0011] Furthermore, the fixing frame is configured in the shape of a circular plate, with a fixing strip glued to the bottom side wall of the fixing frame, a circular hole in the center of the fixing frame, and an inner nesting device glued to the inner wall of the circular hole in the center of the fixing frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the water-stop plug is designed as a hollow frustum, and an abutment ring larger than the maximum diameter of the water-stop plug is bonded to the outer wall of the large-diameter end of the water-stop plug.
[0013] Furthermore, an upper sealing groove is provided on the upper side wall of the large-diameter end of the water-stop plug, and an upper sealing strip is bonded inside the upper sealing groove. A lower sealing plate is welded to the bottom side wall of the large-diameter end of the water-stop plug, and a lower sealing strip is bonded to the upper side wall of the lower sealing plate.
[0014] Furthermore, a side water outlet groove is provided on the outer wall of the water-stop plug between the abutting ring and the lower sealing plate, and a water outlet hole is provided inside the side water outlet groove.
[0015] Furthermore, the outlet pipe and the water-stop plug are interconnected, and an anti-detachment sleeve is bonded to the bottom inner circumferential side wall of the outlet pipe. There are a total of six pressure components on the upper side wall of the water-stop plug, and the six pressure components are arranged in a ring array structure.
[0016] Furthermore, the pressure assembly includes a pressure spring and a spring connecting ring. The spring connecting ring is bonded to the upper and lower end sidewalls of the pressure spring. One end sidewall of the pressure spring is bonded to the bottom inner wall of the adjustment groove through the spring connecting ring, and the other end sidewall of the pressure spring is bonded to the bottom sidewall of the abutting ring on the water-stop plug through the spring connecting ring.
[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. This invention, by setting up a plug cover, a fixing frame, and a water outlet pipe, allows the plug cover to contact the drill bit of the drilling rig through the fixing frame during use. The water outlet pipe at the bottom contacts the drill bit through an anti-detachment rubber sleeve on its inner wall. Simultaneously, the fixing frame also contacts the drill bit through an inner nest. Both the inner nest and the anti-detachment rubber sleeve are made of rubber material, which has high toughness and ensures a tight seal when in contact with the drill bit. This solves the problem of existing pressure sealing hole water stoppers used in geological drilling. In these devices, the pressure sealing hole water stopper not only needs to prevent water backflow but also needs to better cooperate with the drilling rig during drilling. Therefore, the pressure sealing hole water stopper needs to contact the drill bit. However, as the drill bit rotates, a certain gap exists between the pressure sealing hole water stopper and the drill bit, and some water still backflows through this gap.
[0019] 2. This invention, by setting up a pressure component and a water-stopping plug, allows for adjustment of the height of the water-stopping plug within the plug cover during use. When the water-stopping plug and plug cover are in an extended state, the water outlet on the outer wall of the water-stopping plug is exposed, allowing water to be poured in, causing water above the plug cover to flow downwards. When the plug cover and water-stopping plug are in a contracted state, the water outlet is sealed inside the plug cover, thus forming a sealing and water-stopping effect. This solves the problem of existing pressure-sealing hole water-stoppers used in geological drilling, which, when it is necessary to pour water into the drill bit inside the hole to assist drilling, cannot complete this task because the water-stopping work is bidirectional rather than unidirectional. Prolonged drilling not only greatly reduces the service life of the drill bit but also causes excessively high temperatures at the contact surface between the pressure-sealing hole water-stopper and the drill bit.
[0020] 3. This invention, by setting up a water outlet pipe and an anti-detachment sleeve, uses a metal water outlet pipe and a soft rubber sleeve. The outer wall of the anti-detachment sleeve is bonded to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe, thus preventing the sleeve from detaching on its own. The water outlet pipe, through the anti-detachment sleeve, contacts the drill rod, improving the tightness of the connection and preventing backflow of water in the borehole. This solves the problem of existing pressure-sealed borehole water stoppers used in geological drilling, which, in order to ensure their sustainability, are mostly made of metal. The bottom inner wall of the water stopper contacts the drill rod, while its outer side contacts the water in the borehole. Since this water is permeable, it is easy for it to backflow into the interior of the water stopper. Attached Figure Description
