DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the following further detailed description of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0025] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , a double-pipe grouting bit structure, driven by a drilling rig, includes a tricone bit 1, a first outer pipe 2, a third outer pipe 4, a first inner pipe 5, and a second inner pipe 6; the tricone bit 1 is used for drilling in hard strata, and both the first outer pipe 2 and the third outer pipe 4 are cylindrical structures, and the third outer pipe 4 is connected to the drilling rig.

[0026] The tricone bit 1 is located at the end of the first outer pipe 2, and a second outer pipe 3 is arranged between the first outer pipe 2 and the third outer pipe 4; the second outer pipe 3 is a cylindrical structure; wherein, the central axes of the first outer pipe 2 and the second outer pipe 3 have an included angle, and the included angle is 0.5 - 3°.

[0027] The second outer sleeve 3 is detachably connected to the first outer sleeve 2 and the third outer sleeve 4 respectively; it can be detachably replaced.

[0028] The first inner tube 5 is located in the first inner hole 21 of the first outer sleeve 2, the second inner tube 6 is located in the second inner hole 31 of the second outer sleeve 3, and the second inner tube 6 is provided with a central hole 61; the central hole 61 extends along the length direction of the second inner tube 6 and is used for conveying the slurry.

[0029] A mixing connection tube 7 is arranged between the first inner tube 5 and the second inner tube 6. The mixing connection tube 7 is provided with a mixing chamber 71 and a material conveying hole 72; both ends of the mixing connection tube 7 are connected to the first inner tube 5 and the second inner tube 6, and the mixing connection tube 7 is used for connection and mixing of materials.

[0030] The mixing chamber 71 is used to realize the mixing of at least two kinds of slurries, and the material conveying hole 72 is used for conveying the mixed slurry.

[0031] The central hole 61 of the second inner tube 6 is successively communicated with the mixing chamber 71, the material conveying hole 72, the second inner hole 31 and the first inner hole 21, so as to realize that the slurry flows through the central hole 61, the mixing chamber 71, the material conveying hole 72, the second inner hole 31 and the first inner hole 21 in sequence, and finally is output from the position close to the tricone bit 1 to realize grouting.

[0032] The inner diameter of the first outer sleeve 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the first inner hole 21, so as to form an annular gap between the outer diameter of the first inner hole 21 and the inner diameter of the first outer sleeve 2, and this annular gap is used for the slurry to pass through.

[0033] The central hole 61 of the second inner tube 6 extends along the length direction of the second inner tube 6; the second inner tube 6 is rotationally connected to the second outer sleeve 3 and the third outer sleeve 4, and the second inner tube 6 is driven to rotate by the power head of the drill rig.

[0034] The mixing connection tube 7 is located in the second inner hole 31 of the second outer sleeve 3, and the outer diameter of the mixing connection tube 7 is smaller than the aperture of the second inner hole 31, so as to form an annular gap between the hole wall of the second inner hole 31 and the outer diameter of the mixing connection tube 7, and this annular gap is used for the slurry to pass through.

[0035] The mixing chamber 71 on the mixing connection tube 7 faces the central hole 61. Both ends of the material conveying hole 72 are respectively communicated with the mixing chamber 71 and the second inner hole 31. One end of the mixing chamber 71 far from the second inner tube 6 has a termination end; after the slurry is mixed in the mixing chamber 71, it is blocked by the termination end and can only flow out from the material conveying hole 72.

[0036] One end of the material conveying hole 72 far from the mixing chamber 71 is located on the outer circumferential wall of the mixing connection tube 7, so as to convey the mixed slurry from inside the mixing chamber 71 to the second inner hole 31 outside the mixing connection tube 7.

[0037] The material feeding hole 72 is arranged obliquely with respect to the axis of the mixing connection pipe 7, and the material feeding holes 72 are arranged in a circumferential array with respect to the axis of the mixing connection pipe 7, ensuring the flow rate of the slurry transportation and preventing the solidification of the mixed slurry.

[0038] A first material feeding pipe 8 and a second material feeding pipe 9 are arranged in the central hole 61. Both the first material feeding pipe 8 and the second material feeding pipe 9 extend along the central hole 61 and the ends of the first material feeding pipe 8 and the second material feeding pipe 9 face the mixing chamber 71. The first material feeding pipe 8 is connected to the drilling rig and is used for transporting the first type of slurry; the second material feeding pipe 9 is connected to the drilling rig and is used for transporting the second type of slurry.

[0039] The mixing connection pipe 7 is detachably and sealingly connected to the second inner pipe 6 to prevent slurry leakage; the mixing connection pipe 7 is detachably connected to the first inner pipe 5, specifically by a pin connection; the tricone bit 1 is connected to one end of the first inner pipe 5 away from the mixing connection pipe 7, and the mixing connection pipe 7 plays the roles of mixing and transmission.

[0040] One end of the third outer sleeve 4 away from the second outer sleeve 3 is connected to the power head on the drill rig of the drilling rig, and the power head on the drill rig drives the third outer sleeve 4 to rotate.

[0041] A probe bin is arranged on the second outer sleeve 3, and a probe 10 is arranged in the probe bin. The probe 10 can sense the position, inclination angle, and rotation angle of the second outer sleeve 3 and can transmit the sensed data back to the drilling rig to ensure the accurate directional drilling of the drill bit.

[0042] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0043] During the construction process, when fixed-point grouting is required, first, the drilling rig moves to a specific position, then the drill rig's drill frame flips until it is inclined and maintains the posture. Subsequently, the power head on the drill frame starts to drive the third outer sleeve 4 and the second inner pipe 5 to rotate.

[0044] The second inner pipe 5 rotates, driving the mixing connection pipe 7 and the first inner pipe 5 to rotate, and finally realizing the operation of the tricone bit 1 to drill in the hard formation.

[0045] The third outer sleeve 4 rotates, driving the second outer sleeve 3 to rotate, and finally driving the first outer sleeve 2 to rotate; since there is an included angle between the axes of the first outer sleeve 2 and the second outer sleeve 3, the rotation of the first outer sleeve 2 and the second outer sleeve 3 by a specific angle can realize the adjustment of the underground drilling direction.

[0046] During the drilling process of the drill bit, the probe 10 in the probe bin of the second outer sleeve 3 detects and transmits signals to make the directional drilling construction trajectory accurate.

[0047] When the tricone bit 1 drills to a specific position where grouting is required, the water pump on the drilling rig starts to deliver slurries into the first feed pipe 8 and the second feed pipe 9 respectively, and the slurries delivered in the first feed pipe 8 and the second feed pipe 9 are of different materials.

[0048] The slurries are delivered through the first feed pipe 8 and the second feed pipe 9. When they are output from the ends of the first feed pipe 8 and the second feed pipe 9, they reach the mixing chamber 71 of the mixing connection pipe 7. The two slurries are mixed here. After mixing, under the action of pressure, they pass through the feed holes 72 and reach the annular gap between the inner wall of the second inner hole 31 of the second outer pipe 3 and the outer wall of the first inner pipe 5. Subsequently, they reach the annular gap between the inner wall of the first inner hole 21 of the first outer pipe 2 and the outer wall of the first inner pipe 5, and finally flow from the position close to the tricone bit 1 to the specific position where grouting is required, achieving the effect of directional drilling and fixed-point grouting in the hard bottom layer without withdrawing the drill.
