The valve shaft assembly includes a valve shaft fixedly connected to the housing and a valve sleeve rotatably mounted on the valve shaft. The valve shaft has an axial flow channel, a return flow channel connected to the axial flow channel, and a plurality of first liquid guide holes connected to the axial flow channel and arranged in an annular manner along the circumference of the valve shaft. The valve sleeve has a plurality of second liquid guide holes arranged in an annular manner along its circumference and connected to each first liquid guide hole. When the first liquid guide hole and the second liquid guide hole are connected, a folding flow channel is formed. Through the periodic formation and disconnection of the folding flow channel, a violent water hammer phenomenon is formed in the housing, forming an oscillation force. An annular flow channel connected to the return flow channel is formed between the valve sleeve and the housing. The above-mentioned valve shaft assembly is a full metal part.

[0030] In the embodiment, after the drilling fluid flows through the twin turbine group 3, the twin turbine group 3 drives the turbine drive shaft 4 to rotate. Since the axial pulse valve 6 and the turbine drive shaft 4 are connected together by threads, the turbine drive shaft 4 and the axial pulse valve 6 will rotate together. An axial pulse valve slot 13 is provided on the axial pulse valve 6 for the circulation of drilling fluid. A slot is provided on the axial pulse reversing cavity 7, and when the axial pulse valve slot 13 is connected to the lower slot 14 of the pulse reversing cavity, the drilling fluid flows in from the upper slot 12 of the pulse reversing cavity and flows out from the lower slot 14 of the pulse reversing cavity, causing the pulse piston 8 to impact the disc spring 9 downward, thereby generating a self-excited pulse. When the axial pulse valve slot 13 is not connected to the lower slot 14 of the pulse reversing cavity, under the action of the disc spring 9, the pulse piston 8 moves upward, thereby generating a self-excited pulse;

Every time the turbine rotates one circle, the pulse piston 8 moves up and down four times, generating four self-excited pulses.
