[0027] This invention features a reasonable and compact structure, making it easy to use. It utilizes a guide tube fixed at an angle near the fault point in pipe 14, along with a drilling tool installed within the guide tube. This, combined with a drilling drive system, coolant circulation system, and control unit, enables remote automatic control to create a relatively larger elliptical inclined hole 31 in the pipe wall of pipe 14. This allows for easier and more convenient access to repair tools through the inclined hole 31, providing a larger working space and enabling the repair of a larger area. Furthermore, drilling eliminates the need for multiple detection methods or instruments to precisely locate the fault point; the guide tube only needs to be fixed near the fault point. Subsequent access to the detection tool through the inclined hole 31 makes it easier to detect the fault point from inside pipe 14. This effectively saves maintenance time, reduces the labor intensity and safety risks for repair personnel, and significantly improves the efficiency of maintenance and repair work.

[0028] The above-mentioned pressurized inclined orifice opening device for oil and gas transportation can be further optimized and / or improved according to actual needs:

[0029] Example 2: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the guide pipe includes a left guide pipe 15, a gate valve 16, and a right guide pipe 17. The right end of the left guide pipe 15 is detachably connected to the left end of the gate valve 16 via a connecting flange, and the right end of the gate valve 16 is detachably connected to the left end of the right guide pipe 17 via a connecting flange.

[0030] Example 3: As shown in the attached document Figure 3 As shown, it also includes an end cap 18. After removing the U-shaped support 1 and the drilling tool, the end cap 18 is screwed onto the outer side of the left end of the guide tube. With this configuration, when the oblique hole 31 is not used, the end cap 18 and the sealing gasket can effectively prevent dust from entering the guide tube or liquid from seeping out of the guide tube and polluting the environment.

[0031] Example 4: As shown in the appendix Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the coolant circulation system includes a pressure detection device 19, a coolant inlet pipe, a coolant circulation pump, a coolant tank, and a coolant outlet pipe.

The outlet is connected to the coolant tank by a coolant outlet pipe. The pressure detection device 19 and the coolant circulation pump are respectively connected to the control unit.

[0032] Through such a setting, the pressure detection device 19 can monitor the pressure in the guide pipe at any time, and when the cooling liquid overheats and the pressure in the guide pipe is too large, the control unit can adjust the cooling liquid circulating pump to speed up the flow of the cooling liquid, better cooling the drill tool and the pipe 14 wall.

[0034] Embodiment 6: as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the drill driving mechanism further comprises a hydraulic driving system, the rotary motor 3 is a hydraulic motor, and the linear actuator 8 is a hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic motor and the hydraulic cylinder are respectively connected with the hydraulic driving system, the hydraulic driving system comprises an oil tank 21, an oil pump 22, a motor control valve 23 and a cylinder control valve 24, the oil tank 21 is connected with the oil pump 22, the oil pump 22 is respectively connected with the motor control valve 23 and the cylinder control valve 24, the motor control valve 23 is connected with the hydraulic motor, the hydraulic motor is connected with the oil tank 21, the cylinder control valve 24 is respectively connected with the hydraulic cylinder and the oil tank 21, and the motor control valve 23 and the cylinder control valve 24 are respectively electrically connected with the control unit. Figure 1 2 Through such a setting, the hydraulic motor and the hydraulic cylinder can avoid the safety hazards brought by electrical equipment, and the load of the hydraulic actuator is larger than that of the pneumatic actuator, which is more suitable for the device; according to requirements, the hydraulic driving system can also be realized by a pump truck provided with a hydraulic pump through the existing known technology, the motor control valve 23 in the embodiment can be realized by a two-position two-way valve, the cylinder control valve 24 can be realized by a three-position four-way valve, and the hydraulic cylinder can be a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, so that the reaction action is faster when the feed and retreat of the drill tool are controlled.

[0035] Embodiment 6: as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the drill driving mechanism further comprises a hydraulic driving system, the rotary motor 3 is a hydraulic motor, and the linear actuator 8 is a hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic motor and the hydraulic cylinder are respectively connected with the hydraulic driving system, the hydraulic driving system comprises an oil tank 21, an oil pump 22, a motor control valve 23 and a cylinder control valve 24, the oil tank 21 is connected with the oil pump 22, the oil pump 22 is respectively connected with the motor control valve 23 and the cylinder control valve 24, the motor control valve 23 is connected with the hydraulic motor, the hydraulic motor is connected with the oil tank 21, the cylinder control valve 24 is respectively connected with the hydraulic cylinder and the oil tank 21, and the motor control valve 23 and the cylinder control valve 24 are respectively electrically connected with the control unit.

Figure 1 2 Through such a setting, the hydraulic motor and the hydraulic cylinder can avoid the safety hazards brought by electrical equipment, and the load of the hydraulic actuator is larger than that of the pneumatic actuator, which is more suitable for the device; according to requirements, the hydraulic driving system can also be realized by a pump truck provided with a hydraulic pump through the existing known technology, the motor control valve 23 in the embodiment can be realized by a two-position two-way valve, the cylinder control valve 24 can be realized by a three-position four-way valve, and the hydraulic cylinder can be a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, so that the reaction action is faster when the feed and retreat of the drill tool are controlled.

[0037] ​​​With this configuration, when the drill bit 27 is severely worn, only the drill bit 27 needs to be replaced, which can effectively reduce the cost of use. The support ring 28 is used to prevent the excessively long tool bar 25 from bending and deforming, which would affect the drilling effect. In this embodiment, the support ring 28 is implemented by a rolling bearing. The inner ring of the rolling bearing is fixed together with the tool bar 25 by an interference fit. When the tool bar 25 rotates, the outer ring of the bearing rotates, which can reduce the wear of the outer side of the support ring 28 on the inner wall of the guide tube and reliably support the tool bar 25, preventing the tool bar 25 from becoming unstable. The gap between the balls also facilitates the flow of coolant. In order to facilitate the monitoring of the pressure of the coolant before and after the support ring 28, a pressure detection device 19 can also be set on the upper left side of the guide tube.

[0038] Example 8: As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, it also includes a support rod 29 and a clamp 30. A support rod 29, oriented with an upper left and lower right inclination, is located on the lower left side of the guide tube. A clamp 30 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the support rod 29. During use, after the clamp 30 is installed on the pipe 14, the support rod 29, the pipe 14, and the guide tube can form a triangular support. When the drilling tool is working, this effectively prevents loosening or cracking at the connection between the right end of the guide tube and the pipe 14. Depending on the requirements, the clamp 30 is a split clamp used in existing known technologies for connecting valves or pipelines.

[0039] The method for using the pipeline pressure inclined hole drilling device for oil and gas transmission is performed in the following manner. First, a suitable position is selected near the fault point of the pipeline 14, and the surface of the pipeline 14 at the position is cleaned. Then, the right end of the guide pipe is fixedly installed with the cleaned surface of the pipeline 14, and a cooling liquid circulating system is connected and installed to the guide pipe. Second, the drilling, drilling driving mechanism and hydraulic driving system are assembled together, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is controlled to extend to the left by a certain distance through the control unit, so that a certain distance is maintained between the hydraulic motor and the guide seat 2. Then, the drilling cutter is put into the guide pipe by opening the gate valve 16, and the combined sealing member 20 is installed to the left outer side of the cutter rod 25. Then, the drilling driving mechanism is installed to the outer side of the left end of the guide pipe. Third, the cooling liquid circulating pump is opened to pump the cooling liquid into the guide pipe. When the cooling liquid fills the guide pipe, the cooling liquid circulating pump is closed. The sealing performance between the left guide pipe 15, the gate valve 16 and the right guide pipe 17, and between the right guide pipe 17 and the surface of the pipeline 14 is tested. If the sealing performance is qualified, the next process is performed. Fourth, the oil pump 22 is opened to start the rotation of the hydraulic motor. Then, the cooling liquid circulating pump is opened. Then, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is controlled to retract to the right, so that the drilling cutter is fed to the right along the guide pipe in the axial direction. When the right end of the drilling cutter contacts the surface of the pipeline 14, the pipeline wall is automatically started to be drilled. When the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is retracted to the right to the minimum stroke, the pipeline 14 is drilled, and the inclined hole 31 is drilled and processed. Fifth, the cooling liquid circulating pump is closed. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is controlled to extend to the left, so that the drilling cutter is separated from the inclined hole 31. The hydraulic motor is closed. The drilling driving mechanism is detached from the guide pipe. The drilling driving mechanism is moved to the left, so that the drilling cutter is pulled out from the left end of the guide pipe. The gate valve 16 is closed in time during the process of taking out the drilling cutter. Then, the cooling liquid inlet pipe and the cooling liquid outlet pipe are detached. The cooling liquid inlet 12 and the cooling liquid outlet 13 are closed by the sealing plug. Finally, the left end of the guide pipe is closed by the end cover 18 and the sealing gasket.

[0040] The above drilling method can effectively solve the problems of the orthogonal drilling method, such as accurate positioning of the fault point, small size of the drilled circular hole, small operation space of the maintenance worker and tools, limited drilling position, high labor intensity of manual drilling, long operation time and low operation efficiency. The inclined hole 31 has a larger diameter, and is at a certain angle with the pipeline 14. The inclined hole 31 is more convenient for the downhole tools to carry out the axial maintenance, repair and detection operation along the pipeline 14.

[0041] The above technical features constitute the embodiments of the present application, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. The unnecessary technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
