[0003] After retrieval, a Chinese patent with the publication number CN 208900032 U and the name of a welded drill pipe with a flat-end joint has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, light product weight, small drilling friction resistance, and low processing difficulty. It is easy to operate, reduces the investment in supporting equipment, and is convenient for use in oil drilling; however, this structure does not have a reinforcement structure, which easily leads to the fracture of the welding part after long-term use, and easily causes the drill bit and the like to fall into the well, thus affecting the normal operation of drilling; another example is a Chinese patent with the publication number CN 213980681 U and the name of a small-joint friction-welded titanium alloy drill pipe. The pipe body size at the friction-welding position of the second cylindrical section is the same as the joint size, which can effectively reduce the outer diameter and wall thickness of the pipe body of the first cylindrical section, reduce the outer diameter of the second cylindrical section. Through the design of a small-taper double-shoulder joint thread, the torsional strength of the thread connection can be improved, the water hole diameter of the drill pipe can be increased, the outer diameter of the drill pipe joint can be reduced, the cost of the titanium alloy drill pipe can be reduced, and the applicability of the drill pipe in small-hole drilling conditions can be improved; however, when the welding part of this structure breaks, it will cause the drill pipe to fall, resulting in the problem that it is not easy to remove the broken drill pipe subsequently, thus affecting the normal operation of drilling. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model provides a butt-welding joint of a drill pipe to solve the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0016] A butt welding joint for drill pipes of the utility model includes a connector 1. Drill pipes 11 are welded to both the top and bottom of the connector 1. An insertion hole 111 is formed inside the drill pipe 11. A plug rod 122 is inserted into the insertion hole 111. A limit block 221 is fixedly connected to one end of the plug rod 122, and threads are provided on the outer wall surface of the other end. A first nut 222 is threadedly connected to the threaded portion of the plug rod 122.

[0017] Anti-falling components 12 are respectively arranged on the outer walls on both sides of the connector 1 that are symmetrical to each other. The anti-falling component 12 includes a guard plate 121. The guard plate 121 is an arc-shaped plate, and its arc-shaped concave surface contacts the outer surface of the drill pipe 11. A first insertion hole 211 is formed in the upper part of the guard plate 121. One end of the plug rod 122 passes through the first insertion holes 211 on the guard plates 121 on both sides of the drill pipe 11 and the insertion hole 111, and is fastened with the first nut 222. At this time, the side surface of the limit block 221 close to the guard plate 121 contacts the surface of the guard plate 121.

[0018] A positioning plug 212 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the side surface of the guard plate 121 close to the connector 1. A second insertion hole 213 is formed inside the positioning plug 212, and the second insertion hole 213 penetrates through the lower part of the guard plate 121. Two threaded rods 13 are respectively and spacedly fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the connector 1 that are symmetrical to each other. The threaded rods 13 pass through the second insertion holes 213, and a second nut 131 is threadedly connected to the outer walls thereof. A plane is provided on the lower part of the outer side wall of the guard plate 121, and the side surface of the second nut 131 close to the guard plate 121 contacts this plane, which can increase the contact area between the second nut 131 and the guard plate 121 and improve the fixing effect. Positioning blocks 14 are arranged on the connector 1 above and below each threaded rod 13. The side surface of the positioning block 14 close to the guard plate 121 is an arc-shaped surface, and the arc-shaped surface on the positioning block 14 is adapted to the arc-shaped concave surface on the guard plate 121. The positioning plug 212 is placed between the two positioning blocks 14 at the upper and lower ends of the threaded rod 13 and is inserted together with them, playing a role in positioning the positioning plug 212. The end surface of the positioning plug 212 far from the guard plate 121 contacts the surface of the connector 1.

[0019] When the utility model is in use, first weld the two ends of the connector 1 to the ends of two drill pipes 11 respectively. After the welding is completed, insert the threaded rod 13 into the second jack 213. At the same time, insert the positioning plug 212 between the two positioning blocks 14 on both sides of the threaded rod 13 to limit the guard plate 121. Then, fix the guard plate 121 with the second nut 131. At this time, the first jack 211 on the guard plate 121 corresponds to the jack 111. Then, insert one end of the insertion rod 122 into the first jack 211 and the jack 111 on the guard plate 121 and fasten it with the first nut 222; this installation method can disperse the vibration force and torsion force received by the drill pipe 11 during use to the insertion rod 122 and the guard plate 121, reduce the impact force, improve the service life, and make the welded joint between the drill pipe 11 and the connector 1 not easy to break. When the welded joint between the drill pipe 11 and the connector 1 breaks, the guard plate 121 can also support the connector 1, so as to avoid the situation that the drill pipe 11 or the drill bit below drops. At the same time, the positioning plug 212 can also play a supporting role through the cooperation with the positioning block 14, and can smoothly pull out the broken drill pipe 11 or drill bit from the drilling well, facilitating subsequent replacement or maintenance.
