The scraper is controlled by the external air source to extend and contact the drilling tool, so that the scraper can scrape the mud on the drilling tool.

[0037] The grouting assembly includes a rotor 3 and a liquid inlet 4. The rotor 3 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the shell 1. The two ends of the liquid inlet 4 are respectively connected to the rotor 3 and the mud pump. The drilling fluid enters the rotor 3 from the mud pump, thereby driving the rotor 3 to rotate to flush the drill bit and transport the drilling fluid to the wellbore.

[0038] A further optimized solution is that the scraper includes a telescopic rod 5 fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the outer shell 1, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to a cleaning block 6, the cleaning block 6 is in contact with the drilling tool, and the telescopic rod 5 is connected to the air inlet 2.
