[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a reverse circulation positioning drill bit, including: a drill string 2, cutting teeth 5, cutting blades 6, a first cutting head 7, a positioning drill tip 8, and a second cutting head 9; the drill string 2 has a sand discharge channel 13 inside, the lower end of the drill string 2 is connected to the cutting blades 6, the outer edge of the cutting blades 6 is provided with cutting teeth 5, and the front end of the cutting teeth 5 is inlaid with the first cutting head 7; the positioning drill tip 8 is disposed on the crown of the cutting blades 6, and the front end of the positioning drill tip 8 is inlaid with the second cutting head 9.
[0027] The reverse circulation positioning drill bit provided in this application embodiment, after the drill bit is connected to the external drill rod, firstly positions the part to be drilled by the positioning drill tip 8 set at the foremost end. The positioning drill tip 8 is aligned with the center of the hole to be drilled. At this time, the second cutter head 9 connected to the positioning drill tip 8 effectively protects the positioning drill tip 8 and reduces the wear of the positioning drill tip 8. Then, the drilling and rock breaking process is carried out. At this time, the cutting blade 6 drives the cutting teeth 5 to rotate at high speed, and the rock breaking is completed under the action of the first cutter head 7. Furthermore, the rock debris produced by rock breaking enters the sand discharge channel 13 and is discharged upward along the drill string 2, which is the origin of the reverse circulation in the reverse circulation positioning drill bit.
[0028] To further optimize the technical solution and enhance the structural stability of the reverse circulation positioning drill bit, ensuring that it does not become loose during drilling, the reverse circulation positioning drill bit provided in this application embodiment further includes: a center frame 3, which is installed on the drill string 2, and the bottom end of the center frame 3 is connected to the side edge of the cutting blade 6. The center frame 3 is connected to both the drill string 2 and the cutting blade 6, serving as a structural support and providing stable structural support for all components of the reverse circulation positioning drill bit. Simultaneously, the connection between the center frame 3 and the side edge of the cutting blade 6 further centrally fixes the cutting blade 6, ensuring that the cutting blade 6 can rotate around the central axis of the drill string 2 during drilling, preventing drill bit deviation due to uneven force on the cutting blade 6, and effectively ensuring the verticality and diameter accuracy of the borehole. Furthermore, it also disperses the impact force generated by the cutting blade 6 during drilling due to rock breaking or other hard materials, effectively protecting the drill string 2 from excessive stress damage.
[0029] To further optimize the technical solution, in the embodiment of this application, the center frame 3 has a rectangular frame structure. The long side of the center frame 3 is equidistant from the two ends of the cutting blade 6, and the short side of the center frame 3 is twice the diameter of the drill string 2. The bottom edge of the rectangular frame structure of the center frame 3 connects to the two side edges of the cutting blade 6, effectively preventing the cutting blade 6 from deflecting during drilling and ensuring that the drilling process remains linear. Simultaneously, the rectangular frame design of the center frame 3 and its corresponding length makes it compact and lightweight, ensuring that the center frame 3 will not cause any additional adverse effects on the drilling process after installation, and also ensuring sufficient structural stability.
[0030] The reverse circulation positioning drill bit provided in this application embodiment further includes: a gauge-keeping tooth 4, which is disposed on the side of the center frame 3. The gauge-keeping tooth 4 disposed on the side of the center frame 3 can prevent the wear of the various components of the reverse circulation positioning drill bit by external rocks during the tunneling process, effectively extending its service life; the gauge-keeping tooth 4 can also limit the cutting blade 6, preventing the first cutter head 7 connected to the cutting blade 6 from shaking or being squeezed and enlarged during the drilling process, ensuring that the borehole diameter meets the preset requirements, and better achieving the accuracy of the drilling position.
[0031] To facilitate connection with external drill pipes or other drilling tool components, the reverse circulation positioning drill bit provided in this application embodiment further includes a connector 1, which is installed above the drill bit. This connector 1 connection structure effectively ensures the stability of power transmission and the sealing of the drilling fluid flow path during drilling.
[0032] To further optimize the technical solution, in the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, the outer side of the connector 1 is provided with a connecting buckle 12, and the inner side of the connector 1 is provided with a connecting thread 11. The connecting buckle 12 can quickly connect the drill bit with the corresponding slot of the external drill rod or other drilling tool components, improving the stability and reliability of the connection structure and effectively improving the efficiency of connection and installation. It can prevent the reverse circulation positioning drill bit from separating from the drill rod due to high-speed rotation and vibration during drilling, effectively simplifying the installation and disassembly process and improving work efficiency. The connecting thread 11 set inside the connector 1 plays an auxiliary role in fixing and sealing. It cooperates with the external thread of the external drill rod to further enhance the connection strength, while ensuring the sealing of the slag discharge process. It effectively prevents the high-pressure airflow or slag in the sand discharge channel 13 from leaking from the connection gap, ensuring the negative pressure suction effect of reverse circulation slag discharge.
[0033] To further optimize the technical solution, in the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, the cutting blade 6 is provided with a drill bit chip removal hole 10, which is connected to the sand removal channel 13. The connection between the drill bit chip removal hole 10 and the sand removal channel 13 allows the drilled rock debris to be better collected and enter the sand removal channel 13, thus assisting in chip removal and preventing accumulation inside the sand removal channel 13.
[0034] To further optimize the technical solution, in the embodiment of this application, the cutting edge length of the cutting tooth 5 is 0.5 times the transverse width of the drill bit chip removal hole 10, and the cross-sectional area of the drill bit chip removal hole 10 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the sand removal channel 13. The design that the cutting edge length of the cutting tooth 5 is 0.5 times the transverse width of the drill bit chip removal hole 10, while ensuring drilling efficiency, further optimizes the chip removal effect and prevents the accumulation of slag. At the same time, the design that the cross-sectional area of the drill bit chip removal hole 10 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the sand removal channel 13 can further prevent the sand removal channel 13 from becoming clogged.
[0035] To further optimize the technical solution, in the embodiment of this application, the spacing between adjacent cutting teeth 5 is 13 cm, and the angle between the cutting teeth 5 and the edge of the cutting blade 6 is 90°. The design of a spacing of 13 cm between adjacent cutting teeth 5 ensures drilling into rock while effectively preventing teeth from getting stuck; at the same time, the design of a 90° angle between the cutting teeth 5 and the edge of the cutting blade 6, while ensuring drilling into rock, also prevents wear on the cutting teeth 5.
[0036] To further optimize the technical solution, in the embodiment of this application, the cutting blade 6 has a cross-shaped structure with a apex angle of 118°. The cross-shaped layout divides the cutting blade 6 into four evenly distributed cutting areas, maximizing the use of the circumferential space during the rotation of the reverse circulation positioning drill bit and avoiding localized cutting blind spots and uneven rock-breaking efficiency. Simultaneously, during drilling, the rock debris generated accumulates at the cross-shaped intersection, i.e., the center position, allowing for debris accumulation without additional structural guidance. Furthermore, the drill bit's chip removal hole 10 can be positioned at this intersection, further effectively preventing blockage caused by rock debris accumulation. The 118° apex angle design of the cutting blade 6, according to calculations, effectively ensures drilling efficiency and reduces wear, lowering equipment losses for the reverse circulation positioning drill bit.
[0037] In summary, this application provides a reverse circulation positioning drill bit, comprising: a drill string, cutting teeth, cutting blades, a first cutting head, a positioning drill tip, and a second cutting head; the drill string has a sand discharge channel inside, the lower end of the drill string is connected to the cutting blades, the outer edge of the cutting blades is provided with the cutting teeth, and the front end of the cutting teeth is embedded with the first cutting head; the positioning drill tip is disposed at the crown of the cutting blades, and the front end of the positioning drill tip is embedded with the second cutting head. In this application, under the action of gravity, the drilling fluid flows downward, and at the same time, during the advance of the drill bit, rock cuttings enter the drill pipe connected to the drill string through the sand discharge channel and return upward. By modifying the circulation path, the efficiency of rock cuttings return can be significantly improved. The reverse circulation positioning drill bit provided by this application has the advantages of high drilling efficiency, continuous cuttings removal, and extended drill bit life; in addition, the reverse circulation positioning drill bit reduces mud consumption and waste mud treatment pressure, is economical and environmentally friendly, and performs excellently in large-diameter boreholes.
