TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a downhole power drilling tool for oil drilling, in particular to a high-torque screw drilling tool for oil drilling and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The liquid-driven downhole power drilling tool, also known as downhole motor or power machine, is a drilling tool specially designed for downhole power drilling, and its core function is to convert the liquid energy on the ground into mechanical energy in the downhole, and then drive the drill bit to generate torque to break the rock. This drilling method is called downhole power drilling. Its working principle is: when the high-pressure drilling fluid enters the screw drilling tool, it will be extruded through the spiral channel between the stator (pump cylinder) and the rotor (screw); this process will form alternating high-pressure and low-pressure chambers between the stator and the rotor; due to the pressure difference, the rotor will produce eccentric displacement, i.e. eccentric torque; as the drilling fluid continues to flow down, new high-pressure and low-pressure chambers are continuously generated, which continuously push the rotor to displace under the action of pressure difference; in this way, the rotor continuously rotates in the screw drilling tool and generates mechanical energy. In short, when the drilling fluid flows through the motor, the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet drives the rotation of the rotor, and then the torque and rotational speed are transmitted to the drill bit through the universal shaft and transmission shaft, realizing the conversion of pressure energy of liquid to mechanical energy.
[0003] However, the existing technology has the following problems: the rotor (screw) is in the inner cavity of the stator (pump cylinder), which determines that the cross-sectional outer diameter of the screw is smaller than the cross-sectional inner diameter of the pump cylinder. Since the drill bit connected below will inevitably encounter rock layers during drilling, it is desirable to have a larger torque of the drill bit. The torque of the drill bit comes from the torque transmitted by the screw. The existing screw is made of high-strength steel, so theoretically, the torque can only be increased by machining a thicker screw, which results in a larger size of the screw drilling tool. The size of the wellbore limits the upper limit of the size of the screw drilling tool. Therefore, how to further increase the torque of the rotor (screw) is a problem to be solved.
[0004] In addition, it should be noted that the diameter of the shaft and the relationship of the transmitted torque are as follows: the diameter of the shaft has a crucial influence on the torque it can transmit. According to the principle of mechanics, torque is the force that causes the shaft to rotate, and the shaft needs to have sufficient strength and stiffness to withstand and transmit this torque. The larger the diameter of the shaft, the stronger its torsional resistance, and the greater the torque it can transmit. This is because the torsional section modulus of the shaft is proportional to the cube of the diameter. Simply put, the torsional section modulus is an index that measures the shaft's resistance to torsional failure. The larger the value, the less likely the shaft is to deform or fail when subjected to torque. SUMMARY

9. The method of using the high-torque screw drill bit for oil drilling according to claim 5, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: I. Assembling high-torque screw drill bits for oil drilling First, the rubber bushing (6) is vulcanized and fixed to the inner wall of the rotary pump barrel (7), and the inner wall of the rubber bushing (6) is uniformly provided with a spiral curved surface (6.1). Then, rotary stabilizers (3) are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the rotary pump barrel (7), and fixed and limited by stabilizer retaining rings (8). Then, the fixing screw (2) is installed in the inner cavity of the rotary pump barrel (7), the upper end of the fixing screw (2) is connected to the upper screw connector (1), the lower end of the fixing screw (2) is connected to the lower screw connector (12), the bearing assembly (5) and the upper sealing cap (4) are installed in the annular space between the inner wall of the rotary pump barrel (7) and the upper screw connector (1), and the bearing assembly (5) and the lower fixing cap (9) are installed in the annular space between the inner wall of the rotary pump barrel (7) and the lower screw connector (12). II. Application of high-torque screw drill bits for oil drilling: A screw connector (1) is connected to the lower end of the coiled tubing (14). The high-torque screw drill bit for oil drilling is sent into the well through the coiled tubing (14). The rotary stabilizer (3) plays the role of stabilizing the rotary pump barrel (7). Then, high-pressure power fluid is injected into the coiled tubing (14) at the wellhead. The high-pressure power fluid enters the screw connector (1) through the coiled tubing (14) and then enters the spiral sealing cavity formed by the spiral curved surface (6.1) of the rubber bushing (6) and the spiral groove of the fixed screw (2) through the high-pressure fluid flow channel (2.1). The fixed screw (2) serves as the stator and the rotary pump barrel (7) serves as the rotor. The conversion of liquid pressure energy into mechanical energy is completed, and the rotation of the rotary pump barrel (7) is realized. This drives the drill bit (15) connected to the lower end of the rotary pump barrel (7) to rotate, thus realizing the drilling action of the drill bit (15). In addition, since multiple sets of external centralizing blocks (3.6) and fluid passage grooves (3.5) are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the outer centralizing body (3.4) of the rotary centralizer (3), after the high-pressure power fluid drives the rotary pump barrel (7) to rotate, it continues to spray downward through the end of the drill bit (15). The sand and gravel generated by the drill bit (15) are mixed with the high-pressure power fluid to form mud, and then move upward along the fluid passage groove (3.5) of the rotary centralizer (3). Finally, the mud is discharged upward to the surface along the annulus between the coiled tubing (14) and the wellbore (16).
10. The method of using the high-torque screw drill bit for oil drilling according to claim 8, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: I. Assembling high-torque screw drill bits for oil drilling First, the rubber bushing (6) is vulcanized and fixed to the inner wall of the rotary pump barrel (7), and the inner wall of the rubber bushing (6) is uniformly provided with a spiral curved surface (6.1). Then, rotary stabilizers (3) are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the rotary pump barrel (7), and fixed and limited by stabilizer retaining rings (8). Then, the fixing screw (2) is installed in the inner cavity of the rotary pump barrel (7), the upper end of the fixing screw (2) is connected to the upper screw connector (1), the lower end of the fixing screw (2) is connected to the lower screw connector (12), the bearing assembly (5) and the upper sealing cap (4) are installed in the annular space between the inner wall of the rotary pump barrel (7) and the upper screw connector (1), and the bearing assembly (5) and the lower fixing cap (9) are installed in the annular space between the inner wall of the rotary pump barrel (7) and the lower screw connector (12). II. Application of high-torque screw drill bits for oil drilling: A screw connector (1) is connected to the lower end of the coiled tubing (14). The high-torque screw drill string for oil drilling is sent into the well through the coiled tubing (14). The rotary stabilizer (3) acts as a stabilizer for the rotary pump barrel (7). Then, high-pressure power fluid is injected into the coiled tubing (14) at the wellhead. The high-pressure power fluid enters the screw connector (1) through the coiled tubing (14) and then enters the helical surface (6.1) of the rubber bushing (6) through the high-pressure fluid flow channel (2.1). In the spiral sealing cavity formed by the spiral groove of the fixed screw (2), the fixed screw (2) acts as the stator and the rotary pump barrel (7) acts as the rotor, completing the conversion of liquid pressure energy into mechanical energy, realizing the rotation of the rotary pump barrel (7), which in turn drives the drill bit (15) connected to the lower end of the rotary pump barrel (7) to rotate, realizing the drilling action of the drill bit (15). Since the diameter of the rotary pump barrel (7) is larger than the diameter of the fixed screw (2), the torque of the screw drill tool is greatly improved. In addition, since multiple sets of external centralizing blocks (3.6) and fluid passage grooves (3.5) are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the outer centralizing body (3.4) of the rotary centralizer (3), after the high-pressure power fluid drives the rotary pump barrel (7) to rotate, it continues to spray downward through the end of the drill bit (15). The sand and gravel generated by the drill bit (15) are mixed with the high-pressure power fluid to form mud, and then move upward along the fluid passage groove (3.5) of the rotary centralizer (3). Since the spiral-shaped auxiliary blades (10) are installed on the outer wall of the rotary pump barrel (7), the upward-moving mud helps to drive the rotation of the rotary pump barrel (7), further improving the torque transmission of the rotary pump barrel (7). Finally, the mud is discharged upward to the surface along the annulus between the coiled tubing (14) and the wellbore (16).
