Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coal mine geological exploration drilling engineering, in particular to a device with near-bit measurement of torque and feed force while drilling. Background Technique

[0002] During the mining process, if there are significant differences in the mechanical properties of coal and rock masses, it will cause uneven stress distribution and easily lead to local stress concentration, which provides conditions for inducing dynamic disasters such as coal and gas outbursts. Measurement while drilling is a technology for real-time measurement during the drilling process. When the mechanical parameters of coal and rock masses change, the parameters while drilling during the drilling process will also change accordingly. Therefore, the mechanical property changes of the coal and rock masses in front of the drill bit can be inversely deduced by monitoring and analyzing the parameters while drilling, thereby preventing the occurrence of dynamic disasters such as coal and gas outbursts.

[0003] At present, the testing of the uniaxial compressive strength of rocks at home and abroad mainly includes indoor mechanical testing and in-situ testing on-site. Conventional mechanical property testing requires coring from on-site boreholes, maintaining the cored specimens and transporting them to the laboratory for mechanical property testing. The process is cumbersome, complex, has a long cycle, and is costly. Currently, the point load test method is generally used on-site to predict the compressive strength of rocks. The experimental research results show that there is a significant correlation between the point load strength of rocks and the uniaxial compressive strength. However, the conversion coefficients between the point load strength and the uniaxial compressive strength of different types of rocks are different, and accurate and rapid prediction cannot be achieved, which has certain limitations. Although there are some measurement-while-drilling devices currently, since strain gauges are mainly relied on for data acquisition in the measurement-while-drilling devices, once damaged, they cannot be repaired and replaced in time. At the same time, measurement while drilling mainly relies on internal batteries for power supply. When the battery power is insufficient, the battery needs to be disassembled and replaced, resulting in complex operation and affecting the subsequent use of the measurement-while-drilling device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a device with near-bit measurement of torque and feed force while drilling, which can facilitate the maintenance of strain gauges and can charge the battery without disassembling the battery, thereby ensuring the efficient and stable use of the measurement-while-drilling device.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a device with near-bit measurement of torque and feed force while drilling, including a measurement-while-drilling drill pipe, a charging base, and an information processing device;

[0006] The measurement-while-drilling drill pipe includes a strain section of the pipe body and a main section of the pipe body. The strain section of the pipe body is coaxially connected to the main section of the pipe body, and the outer diameter of the strain section of the pipe body is smaller than that of the main section of the pipe body. An annular groove is formed on the circumferential surface of the strain section of the pipe body, and a strain gauge is installed in the annular groove for collecting axial strain data and radial strain data of the strain section of the pipe body. A protective sleeve is sleeved on the strain section of the pipe body and covers the annular groove for protecting the strain gauge. An open-ended cavity and a plug wedge are arranged in the main section of the pipe body, and an electronic circuit device is installed in the cavity for receiving the data collected by the strain gauge and sending the data to an information processing device. The plug wedge seals the cavity, and a first wireless charging module is arranged inside the plug wedge. The first wireless charging module is connected to the electronic circuit device for charging the built-in power supply of the electronic circuit device during wireless charging.

[0007] A second wireless charging module is arranged on the charging base. During wireless charging, the measurement-while-drilling drill pipe is installed on the charging base, and the first wireless charging module is wirelessly powered by the second wireless charging module to charge the built-in power supply of the electronic circuit device.

[0008] The information processing device communicates with the electronic circuit device wirelessly for receiving the data fed back by the electronic circuit device and obtaining the real-time torque and feed force of the drill pipe during drilling after processing the data.

[0009] Furthermore, a first installation groove and a second protrusion are respectively arranged on the circumferential surface of the strain section of the pipe body on both sides of the annular groove, and a second installation groove and a first protrusion are respectively arranged on the inner walls of the protective sleeve near both ends. When the protective sleeve is sleeved on the strain section of the pipe body, the first protrusion is located in the first installation groove and the second protrusion is located in the second installation groove for detachably fixing the protective sleeve on the strain section of the pipe body.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the protective sleeve is the same as that of the main section of the pipe body. This structure facilitates subsequent drilling.

[0011] Further, the electronic circuit device includes a power supply, a voltage regulator, a signal receiving module, an operational amplifier module, a control module, a storage module, a push-button switch, and a communication module. The signal receiving module is connected to the strain gauge and is used to receive the real-time voltage signal transmitted by the strain gauge. The operational amplifier module is respectively connected to the signal receiving module and the control module and is used to amplify the voltage signal transmitted by the signal receiving module and then transmit it to the control module. The control module is respectively connected to the storage module and the communication module and is used to send the data to the information processing device through the communication module and store the data in the storage module at the same time. The power supply supplies power to the signal receiving module, the operational amplifier module, the control module, the storage module, and the communication module through the voltage regulator. The push-button switch is connected to the control module and is used to control the opening and closing of the electronic circuit device. A switch hole is formed in the circumferential surface of the main body section of the rod, and the switch hole extends into the cavity so that the push-button switch is located in the switch hole for externally controlling the push-button switch. The electronic circuit device with this structure can meet the required detection requirements.

[0012] Further, a first water flow channel is axially formed inside the strain section of the rod, and two second water flow channels are axially formed inside the strain sections of the rod on both sides of the cavity. Both of the two second water flow channels are communicated with the first water flow channel and are used to discharge the water inside the drill hole through the first water flow channel and the second water flow channels when the drill bit drills.

[0013] Further, a male thread is formed at the end of the strain section of the rod, and a female thread is formed at the end of the main body section of the rod, which is convenient for connecting with the drill bit and other drill pipes.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model adopts a combination of a measurement-while-drilling drill pipe, a charging base, and an information processing device, and has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. During the drilling process of the drill bit, the measurement-while-drilling drill pipe of the present utility model can obtain the electrical signals representing the axial strain and radial strain of the strain section of the rod in real time through the strain gauge, and after being wirelessly transmitted to the information processing device through the electronic circuit device for processing, the torque and feed force borne by the drill pipe during the drilling process can be obtained in real time. And the outside of the strain gauge is a protective sleeve, which can effectively prevent the broken rock blocks around the drill hole from impacting the strain gauge during the drilling process, thus ensuring the stable operation of the strain gauge. At the same time, after a measurement-while-drilling is completed, since the protective sleeve is detachably connected, it is convenient to disassemble and repair the strain gauge to ensure the accuracy and stability of subsequent measurement-while-drilling.

[0016] 2. After a measurement-while-drilling is completed, there is no need to take out the internal power supply. Only need to place the measurement-while-drilling drill pipe on the charging base. At this time, the wireless charging module two of the charging base wirelessly supplies power to the wireless charging module one to charge the built-in power supply of the electronic circuit device, so as to quickly realize the power supply without disassembly and facilitate the subsequent efficient and stable use of the measurement-while-drilling drill pipe.
