[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An inclined casing structure for assisting horizontal directional drilling through hard rock includes a down-the-hole hammer 4, an auger rod 3, a steel casing 1, and a limit bracket 2. The down-the-hole hammer 4 includes a circular main drill bit 41, an annular auxiliary drill bit 42 sleeved outside the circular main drill bit 41, and a guide screw rod 43 coaxially fixedly connected to the circular main drill bit 41. The circular main drill bit 41 and the annular auxiliary drill bit 42 are spirally connected so that the circular main drill bit 41 rotates together with the annular auxiliary drill bit 42 when the circular main drill bit 41 is rotated forward, and the annular auxiliary drill bit 42 can be withdrawn from the circular main drill bit 41 when the circular main drill bit 41 is reversed. The auger rod 3 and the guide screw rod 43 are coaxially welded via a connecting pipe 31. The steel casing 1 is sleeved over the auger rod 3 and the circular main drill bit 41, and the annular auxiliary drill bit 42 is located between the circular main drill bit 41 and the steel casing 1. A sealing convex ring 421 is integrally formed on the annular auxiliary drill bit 42 . The sealing convex ring 421 is arranged outside the steel casing 1 , and the outer diameter of the sealing convex ring 421 is larger than the inner diameter of the steel casing 1 , so as to improve the sealing between the steel casing 1 and the circular main drill bit 41 .

The mud generated by drilling can also be spirally discharged through the steel casing 1 and the auger 3 for unified treatment. The circular main drill bit 41 and the annular auxiliary drill bit 42 cooperate with each other to improve drilling performance. At the same time, the annular auxiliary drill bit 42 and the sealing protrusion can improve the sealing between the steel casing 1 and the circular main drill bit 41, further improving the working capacity of the down-the-hole hammer 4. The limit bracket 2 and the limit plate 21 facilitate supporting the portion of the steel casing 1 located on the ground, improving the stability of the steel casing 1.
