Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of shield - type rodless drilling devices, and specifically refers to a shield - type rodless drilling device. Background Art
[0002] Existing various drilling rigs engaged in drilling construction basically adopt rod - type drilling, that is, the drilling rig provides the rotary torque and the force for up - and - down movement to the drill pipe, and then drives the drill bit installed at the bottom of the drill pipe to rotate and move up and down to achieve the cutting of rock formations. In addition, the drill pipe is generally processed with a central hole as the channel for the downward flow of drilling medium or the upward flow of rock cuttings.
[0003] The disadvantages of rod - type drilling are that during the drilling process, as the drilling depth increases, drill pipes need to be added, and when pulling out the drill or dealing with accidents in the hole, drill pipes need to be disassembled. This process of assembling and disassembling drill pipes has become a heavy and essential step in drilling construction, thus greatly reducing the construction efficiency, increasing the construction cost and the labor intensity of workers. In addition, the frequent assembling and disassembling of drill pipes also makes the drilling process discontinuous, the construction period too long, and prone to accidents such as borehole bending and collapse.

[0030] During specific use, the construction process of the positive - circulation drilling with mud in this application is as Figures 2 to 5 shown. The specific working process is as follows:
[0031] ① Remove the reverse circulation cover 4 and plug the interface of the medium delivery pipe 2. Operate to extend the piston rod of the support hydraulic cylinder 26. The piston rod pushes the second wedge block 29 and the first wedge block 28 to slide, and then pushes the support palm 27 to slide outwards until it tightens against the borehole wall. Then operate the hydraulic motor 22 to rotate. The speed and torque of the hydraulic motor 22 are transmitted to the drill bit 18 through the pinion 20 and the external gear ring 19, driving the drill bit 18 to rotate and cut the rock formation. At the same time, the drilling medium enters from the upper part of the medium delivery pipe 2, passes through the medium delivery channel 12 of the rotary joint 9, the medium delivery channel 15 of the slewing device 13 and the medium delivery channel 16 of the drill bit 18 and enters the bottom of the hole, assisting the drill bit 18 to cut the rock and soil and lubricate and cool it. The rock cuttings generated by the cutting of the drill bit 18 are mixed with the drilling medium under the agitation of the drill bit 18 to form a rock slag mixture. The rock slag mixture rises along the annular space between the drilling device and the borehole wall under the action of the remaining pressure of the drilling medium until it is discharged out of the hole, as Figure 2 shown.
[0032] ② As the rock and soil near the drill bit 18 are cut and discharged out of the hole, the rotary resistance of the drill bit 18 decreases. At this time, operate the reverse drilling hydraulic cylinder 10 to push the movable sleeve 24 downward, and then push the drill bit 18 downward to continue cutting the rock and soil below the drill bit 18, as Figure 3 shown.
[0033] ③ As the drilling continues, when the reverse drilling hydraulic cylinder 10 reaches the end of its stroke, the drill bit 18 stops rotating. Operate to retract the piston rod of the support hydraulic cylinder 26. The piston rod pulls the first wedge block 29 and the second wedge block 28 to slide, and then pulls the support palm 27 to slide inwards until it completely disengages from the borehole wall. Then operate the reverse drilling hydraulic cylinder 10 to retract, and then pull the support body 5, the reverse circulation chamber 3, the hydraulic pipe 30, the medium delivery pipe 2, the fixed slag discharge pipe 31, etc. to move downward together, as Figure 4 shown.
[0034] ④ After the reverse drilling hydraulic cylinder 10 is completely retracted, operate again to make the support palm 27 press tightly against the borehole wall again, and then make the drill bit 18 rotate again. The drilling medium re-enters the bottom of the hole from the upper part of the medium delivery pipe 2, and the next drilling stroke begins, as Figure 5 shown.
[0035] ⑤ Repeat the above steps until the drill bit 18 reaches the required drilling depth.
[0036] ⑥ During the above drilling process, the centralizer 21 and the support palm 27 together ensure that the entire drilling device does not deviate greatly, thus ensuring that the borehole trajectory is basically straight.
[0037] ⑦ When the drill needs to be lifted after the drilling is completed, operate to retract the support palm 27, and then use the lifting wire rope 1 to lift the device out of the hole as a whole, and the drilling construction is completed.
[0038] The construction process of the present application using reverse circulation drilling is basically the same as that of normal circulation drilling. The differences are as follows: ① It is necessary to install a reverse circulation cover 4 and connect the medium delivery pipe 2; ② The drilling medium (mud, compressed air, foam, etc.) enters through the medium delivery pipe 2, passes through the medium delivery channel 12 of the rotary joint 9, the medium delivery channel 15 of the slewing device 13, and the medium delivery channel 16 of the drill bit 18 and enters the bottom of the hole; ③ The rock slag mixture generated during drilling is divided into two parts under the remaining pressure of the drilling medium. One part ascends along the annular space between the drilling device and the hole wall of the borehole, but stops after being blocked by the reverse circulation cover 4. The other part passes through the slag discharge channel 17 of the drill bit 18, the slag discharge channel 14 of the slewing device 13, the slag discharge channel 11 of the rotary joint 9, the movable slag discharge pipe 8, the first sealing sleeve 6, and enters the reverse circulation chamber 3 through the reverse circulation chamber 3, and is discharged out of the hole through the fixed slag discharge pipe 31. As Figure 6 shown.
[0039] The difference between the air-lift reverse circulation drilling used in the present application and the reverse circulation drilling is as follows: ① It is necessary to remove the reverse circulation cover; ② Two drilling media, namely mud and compressed air, are required; ③ The mud enters the bottom of the hole from the annular space between the drilling device and the borehole and fills the entire hole column; ④ The compressed air enters the reverse circulation chamber 3 from the medium delivery pipe 2; ⑤ The rock slag generated by the cutting of the drill bit 18 ascends after being mixed with the mud at the bottom of the hole, passes through the slag discharge channel 17 of the drill bit 18, the slag discharge channel 14 of the slewing device 13, the slag discharge channel 11 of the rotary joint 9, the movable slag discharge pipe 8, and the first sealing sleeve 6 and then enters the reverse circulation chamber 3, and forms a solid, liquid, and gas three-phase mixture with the compressed air in the reverse circulation chamber 3. The mixture is discharged out of the hole through the slag discharge pipe 31 under the action of the external mud pressure. As Figure 7 shown.
[0040] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0041] Drilling without drill pipes is realized, saving the heavy labor of transporting, disassembling and assembling drill pipes, and raising and lowering the drill, etc., greatly saving the construction cost and reducing the labor intensity of workers; The drilling process can be continuous without interruption and drill to the bottom in one go, improving the construction efficiency; The actions such as the rotation, reverse drilling, and support of the drilling device are interlocked, and the drilling process is fully automatic, enabling unmanned and intelligent operation; The energy output by the drill rig is mainly used for cutting rock and soil and discharging slag, with high energy utilization rate; Multiple drilling processes such as normal mud circulation, reverse mud circulation, and foam drilling can be used for construction; Almost no auxiliary tools are required except for the main machine and drilling medium treatment equipment during drilling, so the floor area is very small and it is also very convenient to transfer the site.
[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
