Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drilling rig speed adjustment technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for adjusting the speed of a horizontal directional drilling rig. Background Technology

[0002] Horizontal directional drilling rigs are mainly used to lay pipelines or cables underground without extensive excavation, thereby avoiding ground damage, reducing environmental impact, improving project efficiency, and ensuring pipeline quality. This technology is widely used in urban construction, infrastructure construction, and pipeline engineering.

[0003] During the operation of a horizontal directional drilling rig, the pipeline must be pushed into the ground at the correct depth and direction to meet design requirements. Speed ​​adjustment can ensure accurate pipeline laying.

[0004] Properly adjusting the speed of a horizontal directional drilling rig can help reduce adverse environmental impacts. Excessive drilling speed can cause vibration and noise, disturbing the surrounding ecosystem and community. Slowing down the speed can reduce these impacts and meet environmental protection requirements.

[0005] Manual speed control suffers from a number of drawbacks, including insufficient precision, reliance on operator skills, slow response time, and difficulty in providing detailed data. Therefore, achieving dynamic speed adjustment of horizontal directional drilling rigs has become a new trend in technological development. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Historical drilling data includes: historical drill bit feed rate and historical drill bit rotation speed;

[0010] The average historical drill bit feed rate and the average historical drill bit rotation rate are calculated based on historical drilling data. The average historical drill bit feed rate is used as the initial drill bit feed rate, and the average historical drill bit rotation rate is used as the initial drill bit rotation rate.

[0011] Determine whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation speed based on historical drilling data;

[0012] Once it is determined whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation speed once, the operation adjustment cycle of the horizontal directional drilling rig is preset. At the beginning of each operation adjustment cycle, the operation data of the horizontal directional drilling rig is collected, and the operation data is used to determine whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation speed a second time.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, when determining whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and the initial drill bit rotation speed based on historical drilling data, the following steps are included:

[0065] Once it is determined whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation speed once, the operation adjustment cycle of the horizontal directional drilling rig is preset. At the beginning of each operation adjustment cycle, the operation data of the horizontal directional drilling rig is collected, and the operation data is used to determine whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation speed a second time.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the operating data includes: hydraulic oil temperature, hydraulic oil pressure, and hydraulic oil flow rate of the horizontal directional drilling rig hydraulic oil system.

[0067] Compared with existing technologies, this invention offers the following advantages: Firstly, it continuously collects operational data of the horizontal directional drilling rig throughout a complete historical drilling cycle, including historical drill bit feed rate and historical drill bit rotation rate. Based on this historical data, it calculates the average of these historical feed and rotation rates, using them as initial feed and rotation rates. Simultaneously, based on the evaluation results of historical data, it determines whether a one-time adjustment is necessary. The preset operational adjustment cycle for the horizontal directional drilling rig—i.e., how often a speed adjustment is performed—can be set according to project requirements and geological conditions. At the beginning of each operational adjustment cycle, operational data is collected, and the need for a secondary speed adjustment is determined based on this data. This invention, through continuous recording and analysis of operational data, helps establish more accurate project records, quality control, and subsequent analysis, improving project traceability and quality management. By achieving dynamic speed adjustment, the horizontal directional drilling rig can better adapt to different geological conditions and project requirements, improving project efficiency, quality, and safety, reducing costs, and providing more data support to ensure successful project completion.

[0071] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0072] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a method for adjusting the speed of a horizontal directional drilling rig, the method comprising:

[0073] S101: Obtain historical drilling data for a preset number of complete drilling cycles of a horizontal directional drilling rig;

[0074] Historical drilling data includes: historical drill bit feed rate and historical drill bit rotation speed;

[0075] S102: Calculate the average historical drill bit feed rate and the average historical drill bit rotation speed based on historical drilling data, and use the average historical drill bit feed rate as the initial drill bit feed rate and the average historical drill bit rotation speed as the initial drill bit rotation speed.

[0076] S103: Determine whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation speed based on historical drilling data;

[0077] S104: After determining whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation speed once, preset the operation adjustment cycle time of the horizontal directional drilling rig. At the beginning of each horizontal directional drilling rig operation adjustment cycle time, collect the operation data of the horizontal directional drilling rig, and determine whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation speed a second time based on the operation data.

[0078] It is understandable that the real-time dynamic speed adjustment in this embodiment can keep the drilling process highly efficient, which helps to reduce unnecessary pauses and waiting time, improve the overall efficiency of the project, and ensure the accurate laying of pipelines by adjusting the drill bit feed speed and rotation speed according to the actual situation, thereby improving the quality and reliability of the project and avoiding drill bit wear, equipment failure and repetitive work caused by unnecessary speeds that are too fast or too slow, thus reducing maintenance costs and the overall cost of the project.

[0079] In one specific embodiment of this application, when determining whether to adjust the initial drill bit feed rate and the initial drill bit rotation speed based on historical drilling data, the method includes:

[0080] Based on the historical drilling data within a preset number of historical complete drilling cycles, the ratio between the historical drill bit feed rate and the historical drill bit rotation rate within each historical complete drilling cycle is calculated, and the average value is calculated based on the ratio between the historical drill bit feed rate and the historical drill bit rotation rate within each historical complete drilling cycle to obtain the first speed ratio Ca.

[0081] Let the average initial drill bit feed rate be denoted as Aa, and the average initial drill bit rotation speed be denoted as Ba;

[0082] The second speed ratio Cb is obtained by calculating the ratio between the initial average drill bit feed rate Aa and the initial average drill bit rotation speed Ba, where Cb = Ba / Aa.

[0083] Calculate the speed ratio difference C between the first speed ratio Ca and the second speed ratio Cb;

[0084] Pre-set the maximum threshold Cmax for the speed ratio difference;

[0085] When |C| > Cmax, it is determined that the initial drill bit feed rate and the initial drill bit rotation speed need to be adjusted once.

[0086] When |C|≤Cmax, it is determined that no adjustment is needed to the initial drill bit feed rate and the initial drill bit rotation speed. The average value of the initial drill bit feed rate Aa is used as the first adjustment drill bit feed rate Ab, and the average value of the initial drill bit rotation speed Ba is used as the first adjustment drill bit rotation speed Bb.

[0087] Understandably, collecting and recording historical drilling data within a complete historical drilling cycle, including the drill bit's feed rate and rotational speed, and calculating the ratio between the drill bit's feed rate and rotational speed within each complete historical drilling cycle represents the relationship between feed rate and rotational speed in each cycle. Using the initial average drill bit feed rate Aa and the initial average drill bit rotational speed Ba, a second speed ratio is calculated, representing the relationship between feed rate and rotational speed in the initial state. The speed ratio difference C between the first speed ratio Ca and the second speed ratio Cb determines whether speed adjustment is needed. By monitoring and adjusting the drill bit's feed rate and rotational speed to ensure they maintain a certain proportional relationship based on historical data, and making appropriate adjustments when exceeding thresholds to maintain stable operation, it helps improve the efficiency and safety of drilling operations.

[0088] In one specific embodiment of this application, when it is determined that an adjustment needs to be made to the initial drill bit feed rate and the initial drill bit rotation speed, the following steps are included:

[0089] A first preset speed ratio difference threshold C1, a second preset speed ratio difference threshold C2, a third preset speed ratio difference threshold C3, and a fourth preset speed ratio difference threshold C4 are preset, and C1 > C2 > C3 > C4 > Cmax; a first preset adjustment coefficient c1, a second preset adjustment coefficient c2, a third preset adjustment coefficient c3, and a fourth preset adjustment coefficient c4 are preset, and 0.8 < c1 < c2 < 0.9 < c3 < c4 < 1;

[0090] When |C|≤C4, the fourth preset adjustment coefficient c4 is selected to adjust the average initial drill bit feed rate Aa. The adjusted average initial drill bit feed rate is Aa*c4.

[0091] When C4<|C|≤C3, the third preset adjustment coefficient c3 is selected to adjust the average initial drill bit feed rate Aa. The adjusted average initial drill bit feed rate is Aa*c3.

[0092] When C3 < |C| ≤ C2, the second preset adjustment coefficient c2 is selected to adjust the average initial drill bit feed rate Aa. The adjusted average initial drill bit feed rate is Aa*c2.

[0093] When C2<|C|≤C1, the first preset adjustment coefficient c1 is selected to adjust the initial average drill bit feed rate Aa. The adjusted initial average drill bit feed rate is Aa*c1.

[0094] After selecting the i-th preset adjustment coefficient ci to adjust the initial average drill bit feed rate Aa, i = 1, 2, 3, 4, and obtaining the adjusted initial average drill bit feed rate Aa*ci, the adjusted initial average drill bit feed rate Aa*ci is used as the first adjustment of the drill bit feed rate Ab.

[0095] The first-adjustment drill bit rotation speed Bb is calculated based on the first speed ratio Ca and the first-adjustment drill bit feed speed Ab, where Bb = Ca * Ab.

[0096] It is understood that in this embodiment, by comparing the speed ratio difference C with the value in the threshold matrix C0, the corresponding preset adjustment coefficient is selected according to different situations to adjust the speed, so as to ensure that the feed speed and rotation speed of the drill bit maintain a certain proportional relationship based on historical data. This can help optimize the drilling operation and make it more efficient and stable.

[0097] In one specific embodiment of this application, when collecting the operating data of the horizontal directional drilling rig during its operation adjustment cycle, and determining whether to perform a secondary adjustment to the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation rate based on the operating data, the process includes:

[0100] Pre-set the maximum hydraulic oil flow rate threshold Fmax and the minimum hydraulic oil flow rate threshold Fmin;

[0101] When F0 > Fmax or F0 < Fmin, it is determined that the initial drill bit feed rate and the initial drill bit rotation speed should be adjusted a second time.

[0102] When Fmax≥F0≥Fmin, it is determined that the initial drill bit feed rate and initial drill bit rotation rate will not be adjusted again.

[0103] It is understood that in this embodiment, the hydraulic oil flow rate F0 is compared with the preset hydraulic oil flow rate threshold. The stability of the horizontal directional drilling rig is determined based on whether the hydraulic oil flow rate is within the preset threshold range. If it is within the preset threshold range, the operation is stable and no secondary adjustment is required.

[0104] In one specific embodiment of this application, determining whether to make a secondary adjustment to the initial drill bit feed rate and the initial drill bit rotation speed includes:

[0105] Pre-set the secondary judgment adjustment coefficient X0;

[0113] Obtain the hydraulic oil temperature E0 of the horizontal directional drilling rig's hydraulic oil system;

[0114] The first preset hydraulic oil temperature threshold E1, the second preset hydraulic oil temperature threshold E2, the third preset hydraulic oil temperature threshold E3, and the fourth preset hydraulic oil temperature threshold E4 are preset, and E1 > E2 > E3 > E4; the first preset adjustment coefficient e1, the second preset adjustment coefficient e2, the third preset adjustment coefficient e3, and the fourth preset adjustment coefficient e4 are preset, and 1.1 > e1 > e2 > 1 > e3 > e4 > 0.9;

[0115] When E0≥E1, the first preset adjustment coefficient e1 is selected to perform a second adjustment on the adjusted secondary judgment adjustment coefficient X0*di. The adjusted secondary judgment adjustment coefficient after the second adjustment is X0*di*e1.

[0116] When E1>E0≥E2, the second preset adjustment coefficient e2 is selected to perform a second adjustment on the adjusted secondary judgment adjustment coefficient X0*di. The adjusted secondary judgment adjustment coefficient after the second adjustment is X0*di*e2.

[0118] When E3>E0≥E4, the fourth preset adjustment coefficient e4 is selected to perform a second adjustment on the adjusted secondary judgment adjustment coefficient X0*di. The adjusted secondary judgment adjustment coefficient is X0*di*e4.

[0119] It is understood that in this embodiment, by selecting an appropriate preset adjustment coefficient based on different hydraulic oil pressure and temperature conditions, a secondary judgment adjustment coefficient is made to better control the operation of the horizontal directional drilling rig, thereby ensuring stability and efficiency under various environmental conditions. This comprehensive control strategy can improve machine performance and safety.

[0120] In one specific embodiment of this application, after selecting the i-th preset adjustment coefficient ei to perform a secondary adjustment on the adjusted secondary judgment adjustment coefficient X0*di, i = 1, 2, 3, 4, and obtaining the secondary judgment adjustment coefficient X0*di*ei after secondary adjustment, the method further includes:
