[0036] See also Figure 1 to Figure 3 It is a self-locking drill pipe braid, which consists of a braid body 1 and a self-resetting push rod 2 at the front end of the braid. When cooling water of appropriate pressure is passed into the braid body 1, the self-resetting push rod 2, under the action of pressure, presses the self-locking core rod 3 of the forward and reverse drill pipe, so that the drill pipes are self-locked after being connected. This design ensures that no matter whether the drill pipes are forward or reverse, the drill pipes will not be separated, thereby improving the stability and safety of the drill pipe connection.

[0037] The self-locking drill pipe water braid is mainly composed of the following components:

[0038] Water braid inner sleeve 1: It is installed on the water braid shell 4 through the bearing 3 and the clamping cover 2. The water braid shell 4 can rotate around the water braid inner sleeve 1, and its inner hole allows water to flow through, thereby realizing water supply to the drill pipe through the water braid shell.

[0039] Water braid housing 4: One end of the housing is combined with the water braid inner sleeve 1, and the other end is equipped with a self-resetting push rod 5. The main structure of the water braid housing 4 includes a bearing mounting hole 41, a sealing hole 42, a sliding sealing cavity 43, a water outlet hole 44, a push rod guide hole 45 and a connecting thread 46. The sealing hole 42 cooperates with the water braid inner sleeve 1 to form a seal under the action of the sealing ring to ensure pressure transmission and water flow transmission; the sliding sealing cavity 43 cooperates with the self-resetting push rod 5 to achieve the forward and backward movement of the self-resetting push rod under the action of water pressure, thereby transmitting water pressure; when the water pressure reaches a certain value, the water outlet hole 44 allows the self-resetting push rod 5 to move forward, so that the water in the water braid inner sleeve 1 is connected through the hole system in the self-resetting push rod 5 and flows to the hole system of the next drill rod; the push rod guide hole 45 allows the self-resetting push rod 5 to slide freely therein; the connecting thread 46 is connected with the thread of the adjacent drill rod to achieve the connection of the drill rod and ensure the corresponding sealing function.

[0040] Self-resetting push rod 5: installed in the water braid housing 4, rotates with the housing during use, completes the connection of the front and rear holes of the water braid, and realizes that the water in the water braid inner sleeve 1 flows to the hole system of the water braid housing 4. The self-resetting push rod 5 is mainly composed of a sink hole 51, a water hole 52, an annular groove 53 and a guide rod 54. The water in the water braid inner sleeve 1 is connected to the water outlet hole 44 of the water braid housing 4 through the sink hole 51, the water hole 52 and the annular groove 53.

[0041] Figure 3 The figure is a schematic diagram of a forward and reverse drill rod, where A represents the drill rod body, B represents the self-locking device, and C represents the reset spring. The drill rod body 1 is used to connect adjacent drill rods. After connection, the self-locking device B is embedded in the tooth profile of the drill rod body A under the action of external force, thereby realizing the self-locking of adjacent drill rods. When the external force is removed, the self-locking device B, under the action of the reset spring C, separates the meshing tooth profiles from each other, thereby realizing mutual separation when the adjacent drill rods rotate.

[0042] The main function of the water braid is to achieve self-locking of the active drill pipe and the forward and reverse drill pipe. The following are the detailed steps for self-locking and unlocking the drill pipe:

[0043] Drill rod self-locking:

[0044] (1) Fix the reverse drill rod on the drilling rig chuck or other device;

[0045] (2) Screw the water braid into the drill pipe fixed on the drilling rig;

[0046] (3) Screw the added reverse drill rod into the reverse drill rod fixed on the drilling rig;

[0047] (4) Pressurized water is injected into the water braid to move the reverse drill pipe self-locking device forward and self-lock with the drill pipe adjacent to the drill pipe fixed on the drilling rig.

[0048] Drill rod unlock:

[0049] (1) Cut off the pressurized water in the water braid, so that the reverse drill rod self-locking device fixed on the drilling rig is unlocked from the adjacent drill rod under the action of the reset spring 6;

[0050] (2) Reverse the chuck to disassemble the adjacent drill rods.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
