[0075] The first connection assembly 803 is connected to the inner drill tower 4 through the first housing 801 and is used to drive the second drill pipe to be connected on the first connection assembly 803 to contact the second prior drill pipe when the inner drill tower 4 moves, and drive the casing to be connected on the first connection assembly 803 to contact the prior casing;
[0076] The drilling system is used to drive the drill pipe connector 8031 to rotate to lock the second drill pipe to be connected and the second prior drill pipe when the second drill pipe to be connected contacts the second prior drill pipe, and drive the casing connector 8032 to rotate to lock the casing to be connected and the prior casing when the casing to be connected contacts the prior casing, and drill downward after locking.
[0077] In this application, the second adjusting device 902 drives the second seat body 901 to move relative to the inner drill tower 4, so as to more precisely adjust the distance between the second power head 9 and the plane to be drilled. Moreover, by providing a through hole 9031 for the prior casing to pass through, and then clamping the second prior drill pipe passing out of the prior casing through the pad fork device 9032, it is convenient for the second drill pipe to be connected and the second prior drill pipe, and the casing to be connected and the prior casing to be accurately docked during subsequent drilling.
[0078] In this embodiment, the through hole 9031 is provided in the middle of the second seat body 901, and the pad fork device 9032 is telescopically arranged on one side of the second seat body 901 facing the first power head 8, and is used to clamp the second prior drill pipe when extending, and retract when the second drill pipe to be connected is locked with the second prior drill pipe.
[0079] As Figure 1 、 2 As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 8, the grasping device 5 includes a connected grasping part 501 and a flipping part 502. The grasping part 501 has at least one grasping end for grasping the first drill pipe to be connected, and the flipping part 502 is used to drive the grasping part 501 to switch between the grasping position and the delivering position, so that the grasping end grasps the first drill pipe to be connected at the grasping position;
[0080] The drill pipe connector 8031 is used to move to the first docking position to dock with the end of the first drill pipe to be connected on the grasping part 501 when the grasping part 501 is in the delivering position;
[0081] The centering and locking device 7 includes a tightening assembly 701 and a centering assembly 702. The centering assembly 702 is arranged on the side of the tightening assembly 701 away from the plane to be drilled, and is used to center the first drill pipe to be connected; the tightening assembly 701 is used to clamp and tighten the first drill pipe to be connected and the first prior drill pipe after the first drill pipe to be connected is centered;
[0082] When the drilling system is used for locking the first drill pipe to be connected and the prior drill pipe, it drives the drill pipe connector 8031 and the casing connector 8032 to drill downward.
[0083] With the combined action of the grasping part 501, the flipping part 502 and the drill pipe connector 8031 in this application, the efficient grasping and precise delivery of the first drill pipe to be connected are realized. The whole process is mechanized and automated without manual intervention, which not only simplifies the operation process, but also significantly improves the operation efficiency. Further, through the combined cooperation of the tightening assembly 701 and the centering assembly 702 in the centering and locking device 7, the alignment between the first drill pipe to be connected and the first prior drill pipe is realized, ensuring the tight locking between the first drill pipe to be connected and the first prior drill pipe, thereby improving the stability of the first drill pipe to be connected and the first prior drill pipe during drilling.
[0084] As Figure 4As shown, specifically, the tightening assembly 701 includes a back clamp 7011, a main clamp 7012, and a tightening oil cylinder 7013. The back clamp 7011 is closer to the plane to be drilled than the main clamp 7012. The back clamp 7011 is used to clamp the end of the first previously drilled drill pipe, and the main clamp 7012 is used to clamp the tail of the first drill pipe to be connected.
[0085] The tightening oil cylinder 7013 is connected to the main clamp 7012 and is used to drive the first drill pipe to be connected to rotate when the main clamp 7012 clamps the first drill pipe to be connected, so that the first drill pipe to be connected is locked with the first previously drilled drill pipe.
[0086] After the centralizing assembly 702 of the present application centralizes the first drill pipe to be connected, the main clamp 7012 clamps the tail of the first drill pipe to be connected, and the tightening oil cylinder 7013 drives the main clamp 7012 to rotate so that the first drill pipe to be connected is locked with the first previously drilled drill pipe. This design not only simplifies the locking process, improves the operation efficiency, but also ensures the firmness and reliability of the drill pipe connection, effectively avoiding potential safety hazards caused by loose connection.
[0087] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the centralizing assembly 702 includes a first centralizing member 7022 and a second centralizing member 7021. The first centralizing member 7022 is located on the side of the main clamp 7012 away from the back clamp 7011 and faces the jaw 70121 of the main clamp 7012, and is used to centrally position the first drill pipe to be connected on the main clamp 7012 for the first time; the second centralizing member 7021 is farther away from the main clamp 7012 than the first centralizing member 7022, and is used to centrally position the first drill pipe to be connected on the main clamp 7012 for the second time. In the present application, the first drill pipe to be connected is centrally positioned multiple times by the first centralizing member 7022 and the second centralizing member 7021, so that the first drill pipe to be connected can be better docked with the first previously drilled drill pipe, improving the firmness and reliability of the drill pipe connection.
[0088] As Figures 1-8 shown, the second centralizing member 7021 includes a first fitting portion 70211 and a second fitting portion 70212. The first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212 are connected to form a preset angle, and elastic pads are provided on the sides of the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212 facing each other.
[0089] A preset angle is formed between the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212, and the preset angle is between 40° and 60°; or an angle adjusting member is provided between the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212, and the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212 are connected by the angle adjusting member, and the angle adjusting member is used to adjust the opening angle between the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212.
[0090] In the present application, the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212 are connected to form a preset included angle, enabling the second centering member 7021 to closely fit the surface of the first drill pipe to be connected, thereby improving the centering effect. Moreover, by providing elastic pads on both the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212, the friction between the first drill pipe to be connected and the fitting portion is effectively reduced, and the wear of the equipment is decreased. Further, the present application also provides two implementation manners for connecting the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212. In one embodiment, the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212 are integrally formed to form a preset included angle, and the preset angle is between 40° and 60°. The selection of this range not only ensures good support of the centering assembly 702 for the drill pipe but also avoids inconvenient operation caused by an excessive angle. In addition, in another embodiment, when the centering assembly 702 uses an angle adjusting member to connect the first fitting portion 70211 and the second fitting portion 70212, the opening angle between the two can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to drill pipes with different diameters or under different drilling conditions, further enhancing the applicability and flexibility of the centering assembly 702.
[0091] As Figures 1-8 shown, the drilling mechanism of the present application further includes an electric control system 11, which is arranged on the frame 1 and electrically connected to the support device 10 and the transportation device 3;
[0092] There is a lifting device 12 between the frame 1 and the outer drill tower 2. The lifting device 12 is respectively connected to the frame 1 and the outer drill tower 2 and is used to rotate the outer drill tower 2 above the frame 1 and incline it relative to the frame 1, or rotate the outer drill tower 2 to the side of the frame 1 and make it perpendicular to the plane to be drilled.
[0093] Among them, the electric control system 11 includes a control console, an electric control cabinet, etc.
[0094] By separately arranging the electric control system 11 and the drilling system on different frames in the drilling mechanism of the present application, the space allocation is made more reasonable. Moreover, there is a lifting device 12 between the frame 1 and the outer drill tower 2. The design of the lifting device 12 enables the outer drill tower 2 to flexibly switch between the inclined position above the frame 1 and the side position. This function not only facilitates the layout and adjustment of the drilling mechanism in different operating environments but also greatly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment. For example, when it is necessary to cross an obstacle or perform special-angle drilling, the lifting device 12 can quickly adjust the position of the outer drill tower 2 to ensure the smooth progress of the drilling operation. In addition, the lifting device 12 also simplifies the transportation and storage process of the drilling mechanism, reducing the operation difficulty and cost.

A rotating member 703 is provided between the centering and locking device 7 and the outer drill tower 2. The centering and locking device 7 is connected to the outer drill tower 2 through the rotating member 703 and is used to rotate relative to the outer drill tower 2 so as to switch between the first side 401 and the second side 402. In this application, by detachably arranging the second power head 9 on the inner drill tower 4, the drilling mechanism can quickly replace or adjust the power head according to different operation requirements, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. Secondly, the centering and locking device 7 is connected to the outer drill tower 2 through the rotating member 703, realizing the rotating function relative to the outer drill tower 2, being located on the first side 401 during centering and locking and on the second side 402 when the power head is drilling.
[0096] A detachable fastener (not shown in the figure) is provided on the casing connector 8032. The casing connector 8032 is connected to the casing to be connected through the fastener; or a threaded structure (not shown in the figure) for connecting with the casing to be connected is provided on the inner wall of the casing connector 8032.
