Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of drilling and sampling equipment, specifically relating to a spring-loaded release mechanism for a wireline coring drill. Background Technology

[0002] With the sustained and rapid development of my country's economy, the demand for mineral resource extraction and geological exploration is becoming increasingly urgent. This has not only driven the advancement of drilling technology but also placed higher demands on drilling equipment. Wireline coring drills, as a highly efficient and economical drilling tool, play an irreplaceable role in the exploration and development of mineral resources. However, when coring in complex formations, core tube blockage has become one of the key factors restricting the effectiveness of wireline coring drills.

[0003] The spring-loaded positioning mechanism uses a hinged spring-loaded plate to rotate and retrieve the spring-loaded chuck. During normal drilling, the spring-loaded plate stably holds the inner tube assembly, ensuring smooth drilling. However, in the event of core blockage, the inner tube assembly shifts upwards, and the spring-loaded plate loses its rotation space, easily jamming against the spring-loaded stop head, leading to failed retrieval of the inner tube assembly. This not only increases drilling costs but may also damage drilling equipment and reduce drilling efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0039] Working principle

[0040] As attached Figures 1 to 6As shown, during normal use, the locking block 55 opens under the action of the return spring 54 and abuts against the limiting step 11 formed by the spring-loaded stop head 9 and the spring-loaded chamber 10, thereby positioning the inner assembly. The retrieval device grabs the retrieval spearhead 1 with the retrieval hook and lifts it upward. At this time, the spearhead seat 2 drives the connecting pipe 3, the spring-loaded pipe 4, and the release pipe 6 to move upward together. Since the locking block 55 has a wedge-shaped surface 59 at the top corner, when the spring-loaded pipe 4 moves upward, it will push the locking block 55 to retract inward and break away from the limitation of the limiting step 11, thus completing the retrieval action. When a blockage or other internal assembly jamming occurs, a downward force is applied to the spearhead 1, which is transmitted to the spring-loaded retaining tube 4 through the spearhead seat 2. The spring-loaded retaining tube 4 acts on the rebound assembly 7 through the bottom fixing plate I 16. At this time, the compression spring 74 on the rebound assembly 7 is compressed, causing the connecting rod 76 to slide along the track groove 75 until the rebound assembly 7 reaches its minimum stroke and the applied force stops. The track groove 75 limits the stroke of the connecting rod 76 and causes the connecting rod 76 to retract into the housing 71. During this process, the release assembly 5 moves downward with the spring-loaded retaining tube 4. When it enters the release tube 6, the return spring 54 is compressed, and the release assembly 5 is housed inside the spring-loaded retaining tube 4. After the applied force stops, the spring-loaded retaining tube 6 is released. The retrieval device grabs the retrieval spearhead 1 and lifts it upwards, achieving the overall lifting of the internal assembly and completing the unblocking. When the unblocking mechanism needs to be used again after unblocking, a downward force is applied to the retrieval spearhead 1, which is transmitted to the rebound assembly 7 through the spearhead seat 2. At this time, the compression spring 74 is compressed again and drives the connecting rod 76 to move upwards until it stops applying force at the minimum stroke of the rebound assembly 7. At this time, the connecting rod 76 releases the stroke limitation of the trajectory groove 75, the spring force of the compression spring 74 is released and acts on the spring-loaded tube 4 through the rebound assembly 7. The unblocking assembly 5 moves upwards with the spring-loaded tube 4 and disengages from the unblocking tube 6. The reset spring 54 resets and drives the locking block 55 to reset, preparing for the next operation.
