Coal resources are abundant, but underground coal mining is also accompanied by many safety accidents every year, of which gas accidents account for more than 30%. Therefore, directional drilling before coal mining and then implementing gas extraction is an effective means to avoid gas accidents. Crawler directional drilling rigs are generally used in underground coal mines, equipped with a wired measurement while drilling system to implement directional drilling in different stratum structures.

[0003] However, the wired measurement while drilling probes in existing wired measurement while drilling systems have the following problems during use: 1) Since the transmission connection unit of the general wired measurement while drilling probes is isolated by insulating materials, and the internal circuit board skeleton and the directional joint on one side are an integrated structure, when used in various complex working conditions, vibration and impact cause damage to the probe transmission connection unit or damage to sensors and chips on the circuit skeleton, thereby causing damage to the probe; 2) Existing measurement while drilling probes generally use software compensation to achieve precision calibration. For example, the installation deviation of the acceleration sensor and the magnetic sensor is large, and simple software compensation cannot achieve high-precision measurement. For directional drilling with target shooting requirements, accurate drilling cannot be achieved, resulting in drilling failure. Utility Model Content
