The turbine shell 10 is provided with a turbine stator 6 inside, and the right end of the turbine shell 10 is connected with the lower shell 11 through threads. The left end of the turbine shaft 14 extends into the flow guide 2 and is supported by bearing set one 3. The turbine rotor 7 is connected with the turbine shaft 14 through keys 8. The flow blocking ring 12 is installed at the right end of the turbine shaft 14, and bearing set two 13 is installed at the right end of the flow blocking ring 12. The turbine shaft 14 is connected with the lower stub shaft 19 through threads at the end. The lower shell 11 is provided with a centralizer 15, and the right end of the lower shell 11 is connected with the lower end cover 18 through threads. The right end of the lower stub shaft 19 is connected with the guide shoe through threads. The guide shoe is connected with the casing through the casing joint.

[0022] The turbine stator 6 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the turbine shell 10. Adjustment sleeve one 4 and adjustment sleeve two 9 are respectively installed between the flow guide 2 and the turbine stator 6 and between the lower shell and the turbine stator 6 to press the turbine stator 6.

[0023] The bearing set one 3 is limited by the left end shaft shoulder of the turbine shaft.

[0024] The turbine rotor 7 is connected with the turbine shaft 14 through keys 8, and the pressure ring 5 is connected with the turbine shaft 14 through threads. The left end of the pressure ring 5 is screwed on the left end of the turbine shaft 14 to limit the axial movement, and the right end is limited by the shaft shoulder.

[0025] The left end of the flow blocking ring 12 is tightly attached to the right end shaft shoulder of the turbine shaft 14, and the flow blocking ring 12 is limited by the bearing set two 13.

[0027] The working principle of the present application is as follows: When working, the upper joint 1 is connected with the casing tail through the casing collar; the drilling fluid enters from the upper joint 1, then continues to flow into the vortex turbine stator 6 and the vortex turbine rotor 7 through the flow hole on the flow guide 2, and forms an impact, at this time, the liquid can be converted into mechanical energy; the vortex turbine rotor 7 is connected with the vortex turbine shaft 14 through the key 8, so that the vortex turbine rotor 7 drives the vortex turbine shaft 14 to rotate; since the vortex turbine shaft 14 is screwed with the lower short shaft 19, the lower short shaft 19 is driven to rotate; the lower short shaft 19 can be directly connected with the guide shoe, so that the guide shoe is driven to rotate at high speed and scrape the well wall, so as to clean the obstacles on the well wall.

[0028] The drilling fluid flows through the channel: firstly flows into from the upper joint 1, then flows through the flow channel of the vortex turbine stator 6 and the vortex turbine rotor 7 through the flow hole on the flow guide 2, then flows into the end of the vortex turbine shaft 14 through the flow hole on the vortex turbine shaft 14 due to the blocking effect of the flow blocking ring 12, and finally flows through the inner cavity of the lower short shaft 19, and is sprayed out through the water hole on the guide shoe.
