[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the utility model provides a mud circulation device, including a mud pool 2 and a mud pump 1, the mud pool 2 is connected to the mud pump 1, and the mud circulation device also includes a drilling platform 9, a fixed mud pipe 7, a suspended mud pipe 6, a drill pipe 5, a first mud pipe 3 and a second mud pipe 4, wherein:

[0033] The drilling platform 9 is anchored on the water surface and can float up and down with the rise and fall of the tide. The fixed mud pipe 7 is inserted into the underwater stratum. One end of the suspended mud pipe 6 is sleeved with the fixed mud pipe. The pipe surface of the suspended mud pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the drilling platform 9. The drill pipe 5 is sleeved with the fixed mud pipe 7. Drilling can be carried out in the drill pipe 5. One end of the first mud pipe 3 is connected to the drill pipe 5 and the other end is connected to the mud pump 1. One end of the second mud pipe 4 is connected to the suspended mud pipe 6 and the other end is connected to the mud pool 2.

[0034] In the mud circulation device of the utility model of the present application, considering that drilling and detection will be performed at fixed positions when drilling in water environments such as lakes and seas, the drilling platform 9 is anchored on the water surface and can float up and down with the rise and fall of the tide, which can ensure that the drilling platform 9 is not affected by water flow and hydrological conditions and is anchored on the same water surface at different times.
