[0002] With the rapid economic development and the improvement of people's living standards, engineering construction has shown characteristics such as large project quantities and fast construction speeds. Geotechnical engineering investigation is an essential procedure in engineering construction, and drilling construction is an important field investigation method among them. During the drilling construction process, excessive heat is generated due to the friction between the drill bit and the soil layer or rock formation. In order to cool the drill bit, lubricate the drilling tool, protect the hole wall, and discharge the rock and soil debris generated during drilling, it is necessary to establish a mud circulation between the drill hole and the mud pit during the drilling of the drill rig to achieve the continuous flow of mud in the drill hole.

[0003] Traditional mud circulation systems mostly adopt the method of digging a mud pit after drilling through the surface ground or surrounding the mud pit with clay bags. The mud discharged during drilling is discharged into the mud pit through a pipeline. The mud and slag in the mud settle at the bottom of the pit, and the upper clear slurry is pumped away by a mud pump and pressed into the drill hole again as a flushing fluid, and so on in a cycle.

[0004] With the improvement of social development level, on the basis of the previous requirements for project quality and safety, contemporary society has put forward higher requirements for the construction process from the perspectives of environmental protection, humanization, etc. Especially for urban construction and water operations, there are very strict requirements for noise, dust, and the discharge of construction waste generated during the construction process. The above traditional mud circulation system has a greater impact on the ground, is prone to mud leakage, pollutes and damages the surrounding environment, and the mud is difficult to recycle and is difficult to handle. Obviously, it is difficult to meet the environmental protection requirements of urban civilized construction and water drilling operations; in addition, when drilling in special areas such as concrete hardened roads and waters in urban areas, there are also problems such as the inability to dig or difficult excavation of mud pits.

The casing 1 is vertically arranged, one end of the casing 1 is arranged in a pre-drilled hole, and the other end of the casing 1 is connected to the bottom of the first open-top box 3 through the protective pipe 2 and the protective cap 4. The first open-top box 3 is connected to the second open-top box 9 through a set of connection components, and the second open-top box 9 is connected to the third open-top box 10 through another set of connection components. Any of the above components can be replaced in case of damage, so as to effectively extend the service life of this drilling mud circulation environmental protection system.

[0020] The first open-top box 3 is a drill cuttings collection chamber, the second open-top box 9 is a mud circulation chamber, and the third open-top box 10 is a flushing fluid discharge chamber. The main function of the first open-top box 3 is to collect drill cuttings and preliminarily precipitate mud; the main function of the second open-top box 9 is for mud circulation and secondary precipitation of mud; the main function of the third open-top box 10 is to discharge the flushing fluid. The inside of the third open-top box 10 is connected to a mud pump, and the mud pump is connected to the drill hole. The clear slurry after two precipitations and filtrations is used as the flushing fluid and is pressed into the drill hole through the mud pump in the third open-top box 10, realizing the circulating flow of the mud.
