AI Technical Summary
During the drilling process, traditional bending screw drilling tools produce periodic alternating stresses in the PDC drill bit due to geometric bending angles, resulting in uneven wear of cutting teeth, local wear and deformation of the drill bit body, increasing the risk of damage, intensifying the wear of the diameter-keeping teeth, and deformation and damage of the diameter-keeping structure.
A downhole tool with guide function is designed, including housing assembly, screw assembly, push block and flow limit assembly. By providing a push block that can move radially in the housing assembly, the current limiting assembly is used to control the on-off between the telescopic cavity and the first flow chamber. When the two are connected, high-pressure liquid enters the telescopic cavity to protrude, and acts with the well wall to cause the drill bit to laterally displace, realizing directional drilling.
It effectively reduces the wear of drill bit-related structures, extends the service life of the drill bit, and avoids the drill tool being subjected to lateral forces for a long time during drilling.

[0018] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following figures, so once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0019] As mentioned in the background technology, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, this embodiment provides a downhole tool with a steering function, including: The housing assembly 1 can rotate around its own axis when driven by the top driving device; The screw assembly 2 is arranged inside the housing assembly 1, one end of which extends out of the housing assembly 1 and is connected to the drill bit 7. The screw assembly 2 has a first flow cavity 201 inside, and a telescopic cavity 101 between the screw assembly 2 and the housing assembly 1. The screw assembly 2 can rotate relative to the housing assembly 1 under the action of high-pressure liquid; A push block 3, which is disposed on the housing assembly 1 at a position corresponding to the telescopic cavity 101 and can move radially along the housing assembly 1; The flow limiting component 4 has a first state and a second state. When in the first state, the telescopic cavity 101 is connected to the first flow cavity 201, and the push block 3 extends out of the shell component 1. When in the second state, the telescopic cavity 101 is separated from the first flow cavity 201, and the push block 3 is flush with the shell component 1.
[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, one end of the housing component 1 can be connected to the ground drilling rig through a drill string. The top drive device is arranged on the ground and is a supporting equipment of the ground drilling rig. It can drive the housing component 1 to rotate around its own axis. The screw assembly 2 is inserted into the housing component 1, and one end thereof extends out of the housing component 1 to connect with the drill bit 7. The first circulation chamber 201 is the internal space of the screw assembly 2. The telescopic chamber 101 is located between the screw assembly 2 and the housing component 1, and is arranged around the side of the screw assembly 2 close to the drill bit 7. The ground drilling rig is also equipped with a mud pump for pumping high-pressure liquid into the drilling tool. The high-pressure liquid can be respectively filled between the screw assembly 2 and the housing component 1, and into the first circulation chamber 201. When the high-pressure liquid is filled between the screw assembly 2 and the housing component 1, the screw assembly 2 can rotate relative to the housing component 1, thereby driving the drill bit 7 to rotate for drilling.
[0021] A mounting hole is provided on the housing component 1 at a position corresponding to the telescopic cavity 101, and a limiting portion extending toward the center position of the mounting hole is provided at the open end of the mounting hole. The push block 3 is provided in the mounting hole and can move radially along the housing component 1 in the mounting hole. The push block 3 has a protrusion extending radially along the end of the housing component 1 close to the housing component 1, and the protrusion can abut against the limiting portion to limit the movement of the push block 3 away from the screw assembly 2. The axial direction of the protrusion abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole and can slidably contact the inner wall of the mounting hole; the flow limiting component 4 is provided in the first flow cavity 201, and is used to control the connection and disconnection of the first flow cavity 201 and the telescopic cavity 101. When directional drilling is required, the housing component 1 is driven to rotate by the top drive device, so that the push block 3 is located in the opposite direction of the drilling direction required by the drill bit 7. The first circulation chamber 201 is connected to the telescopic chamber 101 through the flow limiting component 4, and the mud pump pumps high-pressure liquid into the telescopic chamber 101 through the first circulation chamber 201. The push block 3 moves radially away from the screw assembly 2 along the outer shell assembly 1 under the action of liquid pressure until the protrusion abuts against the limiting portion. At this time, the push block 3 extends out of the outer shell assembly 1. When drilling, the drill bit 7 is laterally displaced through the interaction between the push block 3 and the well wall, thereby realizing directional drilling; when composite drilling is required, the first circulation chamber 201 is separated from the telescopic chamber 101 by the flow limiting component 4, and the push block 3 is retracted to be flush with the outer shell assembly 1 under the action of the well wall. The drill bit 7 is no longer subjected to lateral force, and the screw assembly 2 drives the drill bit 7 to perform composite drilling under the action of high-pressure liquid.
[0022] By arranging a push block 3 on the shell component 1 that can move radially along the shell component 1, and using the flow limiting component 4 to control the connection and disconnection of the telescopic chamber 101 and the first flow chamber 201, when the two are connected, high-pressure liquid enters the telescopic chamber 101 to make the push block 3 extend out of the shell component 1, and reacts with the well wall to cause the drill bit 7 to produce lateral displacement. At the same time, the shell component 1 can be driven by the top drive device to rotate to control the specific direction of the displacement of the drill bit 7, thereby realizing directional drilling. Compared with traditional bent screw drilling tools, the push block 3 can be retracted into the telescopic chamber 101 outside the directional drilling stage to keep the shell component 1 flush, thereby preventing the drill tool from being subjected to lateral force for a long time during drilling, effectively reducing the wear of the relevant structures of the drill bit 7, and greatly extending its service life.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the current limiting component 4 also includes a driving member 41 and a current limiting mechanism, both of which are arranged inside the first flow chamber 201. The current limiting mechanism has a first channel 401 inside, and the two ends of the first channel 401 are respectively connected to the first flow chamber 201 and the telescopic chamber 101. A mushroom head 42 is fixed to the driving end of the driving member 41. The mushroom head 42 can move along the axial direction of the shell component 1 under the drive of the driving member 41 to control the opening and closing of the first channel 401, thereby switching the current limiting component 4 between the first state and the second state.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving member 41 and the flow limiting mechanism are both arranged in the first circulation chamber 201. The driving member 41 adopts a motor, and its driving end is fixedly connected to the mushroom head 42. The driving member 41 is also provided with a control circuit for controlling the start and stop of the driving member 41. The flow limiting mechanism includes a flow limiting ring 44 and a flow channel conversion seat 45.

When the driving member 41 controls the mushroom head 42 to move closer to the flow limiting ring 44, the flow channel conversion seat 45 is connected to the first channel 401. The push block 3 moves sideways until the mushroom head 42 closes the first channel 401. At this time, the first circulation chamber 201 is separated from the telescopic chamber 101. The push block 3 can move radially along the outer shell component 1 toward the screw assembly 2 under the action of the well wall until it is flush with the outer shell component 1, that is, the above-mentioned second state. When the driving member 41 controls the mushroom head 42 to move away from the limiting ring 44 until the first channel 401 connects the first circulation chamber 201 and the telescopic chamber 101, the high-pressure liquid can enter the telescopic chamber 101 through the first channel 401. Under the action of the high-pressure liquid, the push block 3 moves radially along the outer shell component 1 away from the screw assembly 2 until it extends out of the outer shell component 1, that is, the above-mentioned first state.

A telescopic cavity 101 is formed between the core shaft 22 and the first housing 12, and a first through hole 221 is also provided thereon. The two ends of the first through hole 221 are respectively connected to the first channel 401 and the telescopic cavity 101. The stator 11 cooperates with the rotor 21 to drive the core shaft 22 and the drill bit 7 to rotate relative to the housing assembly 1 under the action of high-pressure liquid.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the stator 11 includes a stator shell and a rubber bushing injected on the inner wall of the stator shell, the rubber bushing has an inner spiral, and the rotor 21 has an outer spiral. The rotor 21 is inserted into and between the rubber bushing to form a spiral sealing chamber. When the high-pressure liquid pumped out by the mud pump enters the spiral sealing chamber, the pressure energy is converted into mechanical energy, so that the rotor 21 rotates relative to the stator 11. At the same time, as the rotor 21 rotates, the high-pressure liquid passes through the spiral sealing chamber; the core shaft 22 is connected to one end of the rotor 21, which is connected to the inside of the rotor 21 to form the above-mentioned first flow chamber 201, and the above-mentioned telescopic chamber 101 is formed between the outer wall of the core shaft 22 and the inner wall of the first shell 12. The push block 3 is arranged on the first shell 12, and a first through hole 221 is opened on the core shaft 22.

The two static bearings are respectively fixed on the inner walls close to the two ends of the first shell 12, and the two dynamic bearings correspond to the two static bearings fixed on the outer wall of the core shaft 22. The static bearings and the dynamic bearings are filled with hard alloy material so that the two can rotate relative to each other. The two flow-limiting bearing groups 5 form a closed space between the outer wall of the core shaft 22 and the inner wall of the first shell 12, that is, the above-mentioned telescopic cavity 101.

The second flow chamber 102 is connected to the first part through the second through hole 211, and the first part can also be connected to the drilling well through the hollow structure of the drill bit 7. The high-pressure liquid flows into the second flow chamber 102 after passing through the spiral sealing chamber, and then is discharged into the drilling well from the first part through the second through hole 211. The high-pressure liquid entering the rotor 21 can enter the telescopic chamber 101 through the second part and the first channel 401.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a communication component is also included, which includes a second shell 51. The second shell 51 is connected to the end of the shell component 1 away from the drill bit 7. A transmitting assembly 52 and a receiving assembly 53 that are electrically connected to each other are provided in the second shell 51.
