[0031] Specifically, the vibration generating mechanism 3 comprises a disc spring outer tube 31, an adjusting sleeve 32, a disc spring piece group 35, an upper gasket 34, a lower gasket 36, a piston sleeve 37, a positioning element and a coaxial sealing piston 30, the disc spring piece group 35 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper shaft 1, and the two ends of the disc spring piece group 35 abut against and are pre-tightened with the upper gasket 34 and the lower gasket 36 respectively, that is, in the initial state, the disc spring piece group 35 is in the compressed state, and during the process of lowering the drilling tool into the well, the weight of the lower drilling tool acts on the contact surface between the adjusting sleeve 32 and the upper gasket 34, and the disc spring piece group 35 does not contract after being subjected to the downward pulling force of the upper gasket 34 due to the axial pre-tightening force of the disc spring piece group 35 during assembly; the two ends of the adjusting sleeve 32 abut against the lower end of the upper joint 2 and the upper end of the upper gasket 34 respectively, the upper end of the positioning element is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the lower end of the upper shaft 1 and abuts against the lower end of the lower gasket 36, the coaxial sealing piston 30 is installed on the outer periphery of the positioning element and is axially positioned by the positioning element, and the positioning element can communicate the upper shaft 1 and the rotary valve mechanism 4, so that the drilling fluid can flow into the rotary valve mechanism 4 from the inner cavity of the positioning element, and the opening and closing of the water passage in the rotary valve mechanism 4 are realized, the piston sleeve 37 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the coaxial sealing piston 30 and the positioning element, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the positioning element and the inner wall of the piston sleeve 37, which ensures that when the water passage in the rotary valve mechanism 4 is closed, the drilling fluid can enter the gap between the positioning element and the piston sleeve 37 and impact the coaxial sealing piston 30, the upper end of the piston sleeve 37 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the disc spring outer tube 31, and the lower end of the piston sleeve 37 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the upper end of the outer tube 41.

This vibration will convert the friction between the drilling tool of thousands of meters underground and the well wall from static friction to dynamic friction, which will greatly reduce the friction resistance of the drilling tool and improve the transmission efficiency of the drilling pressure.

[0032] The vibration generating mechanism 3 further comprises an anti-drop ring 33, the outer periphery of the upper mandrel 1 is provided with a mandrel step, the end face of the mandrel step is arranged towards the disc spring piece group 35, the upper end of the anti-drop ring 33 is in contact with the end face of the mandrel step, the other end of the anti-drop ring 33 is in contact with the upper end of the upper gasket 34, and the anti-drop ring 33 is arranged to prevent the occurrence of the downhole accident of the "core extraction" of the drilling tool components after the upper joint 2 is disconnected from the disc spring outer tube 31.

[0033] The inner wall of the upper end of the upper joint 2 and the outer wall of the upper mandrel 1 are inserted and connected through spline cooperation, that is, the inner wall of the upper joint 2 and the outer wall of the upper mandrel 1 are circumferentially limited and torque-transmitted through the cooperation of the male spline 22 and the female spline 23, and the dustproof ring 21 is further arranged between the inner wall of the upper joint 2 and the outer wall of the upper mandrel 1, and the dustproof ring 21 is arranged close to the upper end of the upper joint 2.

[0034] The positioning element comprises an upper positioning tube 38 and a lower positioning tube 39, the upper end of the upper positioning tube 38 is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the lower end of the upper mandrel 1, the outer periphery of the upper positioning tube 38 is provided with an upper step, the end face of the upper step is arranged towards the lower joint 5, the coaxial sealing piston 30 and the lower positioning tube 39 are both sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper positioning tube 38, and the lower positioning tube 39 is threadedly connected to the upper positioning tube 38, one side of the coaxial sealing piston 30 is in contact with the end face of the upper step, and the other side of the coaxial sealing piston 30 is in contact with the upper end of the lower positioning tube 39, and the axial limitation of the coaxial sealing piston 30 is realized through the cooperation of the upper positioning tube 38 and the lower positioning tube 39.

[0035] The valve rotating mechanism 4 comprises, from outside to inside, an outer pipe 41, a flow guide pipe 42, a sealing pipe 44, a slow valve 45, a fast valve 46 and a sealing core shaft 47. The inner wall of the outer pipe 41 and the outer wall of the flow guide pipe 42 are provided with limiting step surfaces in an interference fit, and the limiting step surfaces are arranged in an up-down manner and are coincident with each other to realize limiting function. A water passing channel 422 is formed in the side wall of the flow guide pipe 42 to communicate with the inside of the flow guide pipe 42, so that the fluid flowing through the opening at the upper end of the outer pipe 41 can enter the water passing channel 422. A plurality of water passing holes 441 are formed in the side wall of the sealing pipe 44 in an axial arrangement.

The fast valve 46 and the slow valve 45 are protected in a certain cavity by the sealing pipe 44 and the sealing core shaft 47 to reduce the erosion degree of the fluid and prolong the service life. The weight of the slow valve 45 is greater than that of the fast valve 46, so that the rotating speed of the slow valve 45 is lower than that of the fast valve 46.

The lower end of the slow valve 45 is provided with a slow valve arc-shaped water channel 453, and the lower end of the fast valve 46 is provided with a fast valve arc-shaped water channel 463. The water passing channel 422 is communicated with the slow valve arc-shaped water channel 453, so that the rotating speeds of the fast valve 46 and the slow valve 45 are different due to the weight difference when subjected to pressure difference, the fast valve 46 and the slow valve 45 are relatively rotated to make the slow valve arc-shaped water channel 453 communicated with or not communicated with the fast valve arc-shaped water channel 463, and different states of the valve rotating mechanism 4 are realized.

The limiting key 471 can extend through the two communication channels and be limited on the inner wall of the sealing pipe 44. There is a gap between the side wall of the communication channel and the limiting key 471. When the fluid passes through the water passing channel 422 and forms swirling, the chambers on both sides of the limiting key 471 (i.e. the first chamber 473 and the second chamber 474 formed between the two end surfaces of the communication channel, the outer wall of the limiting key 471 and the limiting surface 472) form a pressure difference, so as to drive the fast valve 46 and the slow valve 45 to rotate.

The two limiting surfaces 472 on the same side are respectively used for limiting the end surfaces of the two communication channels during the rotation of the fast valve 46 and the slow valve 45. The upper end and the lower end of the sealing core shaft 47 are respectively connected with an upper cover 43 and a lower cover 49, and the sealing pipe 44, the slow valve 45 and the fast valve 46 are limited between the upper cover 43 and the lower cover 49 to facilitate the relative movement between the structures.The lower end surface of the upper cover 43 contacts the upper end surfaces of the sealing core shaft 47, the fast valve 46, the slow valve 45 and the sealing pipe 44, the upper end surface of the fast valve 46, the upper end surface of the slow valve 45 and the lower end surface of the upper cover 43 are in clearance fit, and a limiting step surface is arranged on the inner wall of the flow guide pipe 42, and the partial outer edge of the upper cover 43 can be limited at the limiting step surface, the inner passage of the sealing core shaft 47 can be communicated with the second cavity 474, and the lower end of the inner passage of the sealing core shaft 47 can be communicated with the inside of the lower joint 5.
