[0020] When the well inclination angle reaches or approaches 90°, and the wellbore is drilled to a certain length horizontally, horizontal wells are drilled during the exploration of oil and gas. However, during the process of drilling horizontal wells, the friction between the drill bit and the well wall is too great when turning from the vertical shaft to the horizontal shaft. This increases the difficulty of turning the drill bit and makes it impossible to adjust the turning angle of the drill bit accurately. As a result, the workers need to constantly adjust the forward direction of the drill bit, increasing the workload of moving the drill bit from the vertical shaft to the horizontal shaft. At the same time, after the drill bit enters the oil or gas layer, the drill bit detaches from the well wall, making it impossible for the drill bit to turn well, which increases the difficulty of turning the drill bit in oil or gas.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-9 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a hydraulic drilling tool for horizontal wells in oil and gas, including a drilling rig 1, which drills holes in the soil. A drilling feed device 2 is installed on the drilling rig 1. During the drilling process, the drilling feed device 2 changes the drilling direction of the drilling rig 1, thereby changing the drilling trajectory of the drilling rig 1.
[0022] However, during drilling operations, to facilitate the control of the drilling direction by the drilling feed device 2 and enable accurate adjustment of the drilling angle, the structure of the drilling feed device 2 is described in detail. The drilling feed device 2 comprises several drilling feed components arranged in a ring on the drilling rig 1. Each drilling feed component includes a positioning component 21 and a pusher component 22 mounted on the positioning component 21. When the drilling rig 1 needs to turn, the positioning component 21 pushes the pusher component 22, causing it to contact the well wall drilled by the drilling rig 1, thereby changing the drilling direction of the drilling rig 1. Simultaneously, the positioning component 21 pushes the pusher component 22... When the pusher 22 is tilted and contacts the well wall, the direction of the force exerted by the pusher 22 on the well wall is changed, allowing the positioning component 21 to adjust the drilling rig 1 at multiple angles. This allows the drilling rig 1 to turn in different directions. At the same time, based on the push of the pusher 22 when it contacts the well wall, the operator can accurately operate the drilling direction of the drilling rig 1, reducing the difficulty of controlling the movement of the drilling rig 1. Furthermore, after the drilling rig 1 enters the liquid, the resistance of the pusher 22 to the liquid changes the drilling direction of the drilling rig 1, allowing the drilling rig 1 to adjust its direction in oil or natural gas, reducing the difficulty of changing the angle of the drilling rig 1.
[0023] The following describes the structure of the positioning component 21 and the pushing component 22, and provides a corresponding detailed description of the structure of the drilling rig 1. Please refer to the following description. Figures 3-9 As shown, the positioning component 21 includes an arc-shaped positioning arc plate 211. The drilling rig 1 includes a drill rod 11 and an installation pipe 13 fixed to one end of the drill rod 11. The other end of the installation pipe 13 is fixedly connected to a drill bit 12. The inner arc surface of the positioning arc plate 211 contacts the side wall of the installation pipe 13, and several positioning arc plates 211 are interconnected to wrap the outside of the installation pipe 13. Several connecting plates 23 are connected together on the side walls of the contacting components between the several positioning arc plates 211. The drilling device 2 is fixed to the drilling rig 1 by the several positioning arc plates 211 fixed to the installation pipe 13. At the same time, the drilling device 2 is located near the drill bit 12. When the pusher 22 pushes the well wall, it is easy to change the drilling direction of the drill bit 12 and reduce the difficulty of adjusting the angle of the drilling rig 1.
[0024] Meanwhile, the outer edge of the drill bit 12 and the outer edges of several positioning arc plates 211 are on the same arc surface, and the radius of the drill rod 11 is smaller than the radius of the drill bit 12. Thus, when the drill bit 12 is drilling in a straight line, the drilling device 2 will not obstruct the drilling of the drill bit 12, and the drill rod 11 can move along the drilling channel of the drill bit 12.
[0025] The positioning arc plate 211 has a placement groove 212, and a rotating groove 213 is formed on the side of the placement groove 212 near the drill bit 12. The pusher 22 includes an arc-shaped push plate 222, one end of which is hinged to a rotating block 221. The rotating block 221 is rotatably disposed inside the rotating groove 213. The push plate 222 is disposed in the placement groove 212. During use, the rotating block 221 rotates in the rotating groove 213, and the push plate 222 rotates around the position hinged to the rotating block 221. The outer arc surface of the push plate 222 and the outer arc surface of the positioning arc plate 211 are also connected. The arc surfaces are on the same arc surface, and a contact arc surface 217 is provided on the side wall of the placement groove 212 away from the rotation groove 213. There is a gap between the contact arc surface 217 and the push plate 222. When the rotating block 221 rotates in the rotation groove 213, the push plate 222 rotates with the rotating block 221. When the push plate 222 rotates in the placement groove 212, one side of the push plate 222 does not contact the side wall of the contact arc surface 217. This ensures that the contact arc surface 217 will not hinder the movement of the push plate 222 when the push plate 222 rotates.
[0026] To allow the push plate 222 to rotate and move, a mounting groove 225 is provided on the lower side of the push plate 222. A hinge column is rotatably connected to the placement groove 212, and a hydraulic rod 215 is hinged to the hinge column. One end of the piston rod of the hydraulic rod 215 is hinged to a hinge frame, which is rotatably connected to the push plate 222. When the piston rod on the hydraulic rod 215 extends outward, it drives one end of the push plate 222 to move outward from the placement groove 212. To ensure that the rotational position of the push plate 222 is restricted and fixed, and to ensure that the push plate 222 moves along a predetermined trajectory, the following measures are taken. The hinge column is installed in the placement slot 212 near the rotating slot 213, and the hinge frame is installed in the installation slot 225 off-center. When the piston rod of the hydraulic rod 215 extends outward, the push plate 222 moves obliquely upward toward the placement slot 212, so that one end of the push plate 222 is tilted and the tilted push plate 222 contacts the well wall. Through the pushing force of the tilting movement of the pusher 22 on the well wall, the positioning member 21 completes the multi-angle adjustment of the drilling rig 1, so that the drilling rig 1 can turn in different directions.
[0027] To ensure that the push plate 222 can rotate normally, a rotation notch 214 is provided on one side of the rotation groove 213. When the push plate 222 rotates, one side of the push plate 222 enters the rotation notch 214. The rotation notch 214 is set on one side of the rotation direction of the push plate 222. When the push plate 222 rotates, one side of the push plate 222 enters the rotation notch 214. At the same time, the rotation notch 214 is set on one side of the rotation groove 213. This restricts the rotation direction of the push plate 222, so that the push plate 222 can only rotate in the direction of the rotation notch 214.
[0028] When the push plate 222 is tilted, it will push the well wall after contacting it, thereby changing the drilling direction of the drill bit 12. In order to improve the stability of the contact between the push plate 222 and the well wall, an arc-shaped upper push block 216 is fixed on the placement groove 212 at a position away from the rotating groove 213. The upper push block 216 is located on the side of the placement groove 212 away from the rotating notch 214. When the push plate 222 is placed in the placement groove 212, the upper push block 216 contacts the side wall of the mounting groove 225. When the hydraulic rod 215 pushes the push plate 222 to tilt, the upper push block 216 supports the push plate 222 through contact with the mounting groove 225, thereby improving the stability of the contact between the push plate 222 and the side wall of the well wall.
[0029] In order to reduce the friction between the push plate 222 and the well wall, an installation slot 223 is provided on the upper side of the push plate 222. Several rollers 224 are rotatably connected in the installation slot 223, and the rollers 224 are inclined in the installation slot 223. When the push plate 222 is in contact with the well wall, the rollers 224 and the well wall roll and rub against each other.
[0030] Usage process: When drilling rig 1 is performing straight drilling, push plate 222 is positioned inside placement slot 212. When drilling rig 1 needs to turn to change the drilling angle, the piston rod in hydraulic rod 215 extends outward, causing one end of push plate 222 to rotate towards the rotation notch 214. Due to the support of upper push block 216 on push plate 222 and the pull of rotating block 221 on pusher 22 when hydraulic rod 215 pushes push plate 222, rotating block 221 rotates in rotation slot 213, and push plate 222... Rotating around the rotating block 221 causes the push plate 222 to move obliquely upward towards the placement slot 212. The moving push plate 222 contacts the well wall, and the roller shaft 224 rolls against the well wall, reducing the friction between the well wall and the push plate 222. At the same time, the tilted push plate 222 pushes against the well wall, changing the drilling direction of the drill bit 12. The angle and distance of the push plate 222 can be controlled to control the extent of the angle change of the drill bit 12, making it convenient for the operator to control the drilling direction of the drill bit 12.
[0031] When the drill bit 12 drills into oil or natural gas, the inclined pusher 22 forms a blade, which causes the drill rig 1 to drive the drilling device 2 to rotate and move, thereby adjusting the direction of the drill rig 1. This solves the problem of the drill rig 1 turning in oil or natural gas, and makes the drill rig 1 able to adjust its direction in oil or natural gas, reducing the difficulty of the drill rig 1 changing its angle.
