Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hydraulic drilling composite fracturing and permeability-enhancing coal seams, and relates to a device and method for monitoring the rotation speed of a self-rotating jet drill bit. Background Art
[0002] In the field of hydraulic drilling composite fracturing and permeability enhancement technology for coal seams, the use of continuous oil tubing to drive a self-rotating jet drill bit to drill and break the coal into holes is a key step in the subsequent implementation of hydraulic fracturing. Studies have shown that the coal breaking efficiency of a self-rotating jet drill bit increases first and then decreases with the change in the ratio of rotation speed to pressure, that is, there is an optimal speed range under a specific pressure. However, existing technologies have not yet solved the problem of real-time monitoring of the rotation speed of a self-rotating jet drill bit. Due to the lack of a reliable speed monitoring method, it is impossible to accurately obtain the dynamic change law of the drill bit's speed under a single pressure, making it difficult to stabilize the drill bit's operating state within the advantageous range with higher coal breaking efficiency through speed control means.
[0003] While some technologies currently attempt to monitor the rotational speed of rotating equipment, these solutions primarily rely on contact sensors or conventional optical measurement methods. In high-pressure water jet environments, contact sensors are susceptible to damage from the impact of the water flow, and their mounting structure can interfere with the drill bit's self-rotating motion. Conventional optical measurement methods, however, struggle to achieve stable and accurate speed capture even under high-speed rotation due to issues such as water mist and background interference. Existing technologies lack a non-contact speed monitoring solution designed for the specialized operating conditions of self-rotating jet drill bits. In particular, there is a lack of effective measures to suppress water mist interference and ensure stable optical signal transmission in high-pressure water jet environments. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a non-contact speed monitoring method that can adapt to complex working conditions underground, so as to obtain the speed data of the self-rotating jet drill bit under different pressures in real time, and provide technical support for optimizing the drill bit operating parameters and improving the coal seam breaking efficiency.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A device for monitoring the rotation speed of a self-rotating jet drill bit, comprising a water tank, a high-pressure pump, a self-rotating jet drill bit, a water shield, a data processing terminal, a laser transmitter and receiver, and reflective stickers;
[0007] The water outlet of the water tank is connected to the water inlet of the high-pressure pump through a pipeline, and the water outlet of the high-pressure pump is connected to the water inlet of the self-rotating jet drill through a high-pressure pipeline;
[0008] The water shield is fixedly arranged at the front end of the self-rotating jet drill bit, and a center hole is provided in the center thereof. The axis of the center hole coincides with the axis of the self-rotating jet drill bit, and the diameter of the center hole is 10 mm larger than the diameter of the drill bit;
[0009] The reflective sticker is attached to the nozzle body surface at the front end of the self-rotating jet drill bit;
[0010] The laser transmitter and receiver are fixedly installed, and the laser they emit is perpendicular to the surface of the reflective tape, and the distance between the laser transmitter and receiver and the reflective tape is 5 to 200 mm;
[0011] The laser transmitter and receiver are electrically connected to the data processing terminal via a data line, and are used to convert the reflected light signal into rotation speed data and transmit it to the data processing terminal.
[0012] Optionally, the nozzle body surface of the self-rotating jet drill is matte-finished.
[0013] Optionally, an anti-blowout structure is provided at the pipe connection between the high-pressure pump and the self-rotating jet drill bit.
[0014] A method for monitoring the rotation speed of a self-rotating jet drill bit, using the above-mentioned device, comprises the following steps:
[0015] Step 1: Matte the nozzle body of the self-rotating jet drill and stick a reflective sticker on the surface of the nozzle body;
[0016] Step 2: Connect the water tank, high-pressure pump and self-rotating jet drill in sequence, and perform anti-blowout treatment on each pipe joint;
[0017] Step 3: Fix the water shield to ensure that the axis of its center hole coincides with the axis of the self-rotating jet drill bit;
[0018] Step 4: Fix the laser transmitter and receiver so that the laser they emit shines vertically on the reflective tape, and the distance between them is controlled within 5 to 200 mm.
[0019] Step 5: Connect the laser transmitter and receiver to the data processing terminal and set the acquisition frequency to 20Hz;
[0020] Step 6: Start the high-pressure pump and slowly increase the pressure. Record the pressure when the rotary jet drill bit starts to rotate as the starting pressure p0, and then turn off the high-pressure pump.
[0021] Step 7: Turn on the high-pressure pump and set the pressure pj = pi + 1 MPa (i = 0, 1, 2...; j = 1, 2, 3...). Record the speed through the data processing terminal. After the speed stabilizes, continue recording for 5 seconds and turn off the high-pressure pump.
[0022] Step 8: Repeat step 7 to obtain the change pattern of the drill bit speed under different pressures.
[0023] Optionally, the incremental step of the pressure pj in step 7 is 1 MPa.
[0024] Optionally, the laser transmitter and receiver in step 5 is set to a real-time data transmission mode.
[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0026] This solution solves the technical challenge of real-time monitoring of the rotational speed of a self-rotating jet drill bit through the collaborative design of non-contact optical monitoring and hydraulic systems. The specific effects are as follows:
[0027] High-precision dynamic monitoring
[0028] A laser transmitter and receiver vertically illuminates the reflective tape on the drill head's nozzle body. Combined with a 20Hz high-frequency data acquisition and processing terminal, the system accurately captures the instantaneous rotational speed of the drill head during high-speed rotation (error <±0.5%). The matte finish on the nozzle body effectively suppresses ambient light interference, and the directional reflective properties of the reflective tape ensure excellent signal-to-noise ratio in low-light environments. The 5-200mm laser ranging range balances near-field anti-fog interference with far-field installation flexibility.
[0029] Adaptability of high-pressure water jet working conditions
[0030] The water shield and its center hole design (10mm larger in diameter than the drill bit and coaxially fixed) are core innovations that break through the limitations of the downhole environment:
[0031] Water mist blocking: The water shield physically isolates the water mist generated by the high-pressure water jet to prevent the laser path from being scattered and interfered with;
[0032] Dynamic compatibility: 10mm gap ensures the free rotation of the drill bit while maintaining a minimal water mist escape channel;
[0033] Stable structure: Coaxial installation avoids mechanical collision caused by rotation eccentricity and ensures long-term monitoring stability.
[0034] Engineering safety and operational convenience
[0035] The pipeline anti-breakout structure can resist high-pressure water hammer impact (pressure can reach over 30MPa) to prevent the equipment from loosening during the monitoring process;
[0036] The pressure gradient control method (adjusting from the starting pressure p0 in 1 MPa steps) can systematically establish a pressure-speed mapping model to avoid transient fluctuation errors;
[0037] The entire process does not require modification of the drill body; only reflective stickers and a fixed water shield are required, reducing on-site deployment time.
[0038] Coal crushing efficiency optimization value
[0039] Based on the real-time acquired rotational speed variation patterns under different pressures, the coal crushing efficiency advantage range (such as the peak speed pressure point) can be accurately located.
[0040] In summary, this solution combines the innovative optical monitoring structure with the depth of hydraulic parameter control, providing reliable technical support for safe and efficient mining in coal mines.
