TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to geological exploration equipment technical field, concretely relates to a kind of environmental protection type drilling flushing fluid circulating device with simple structure, it is convenient to move, mud does not leak, slag is smoothly discharged, and it occupies small space. BACKGROUND
[0002] Engineering geological drilling is a kind of exploration method using drilling tool to drill into rock-soil layer to form borehole, then taking out rock-soil sample, identifying stratum or carrying out in-situ test. Among them, rotary drilling is the most widely used drilling technology. Rotary drilling machine needs to use flushing fluid to cool drill bit and drilling tool, suspend and carry out rock debris during rotary drilling process, in addition, flushing fluid also plays the function of balancing ground pressure, preventing hole wall collapse and lubricating drilling tool to reduce drilling tool wear. Therefore, normal circulation of flushing fluid is the basis to ensure the smooth progress of engineering geological drilling.
[0003] In traditional rotary drilling work, mud is often used as flushing fluid, so mud pool is excavated near borehole to store and deploy mud, so that mud can be normally circulated as flushing fluid. However, manual excavation of mud pool has the following disadvantages: excavation of mud pool will damage the ground, especially when urban road surveying, it is not only difficult to excavate, but also has high recovery cost, and also affects the environmental aesthetics; and directly excavating mud pool to store mud in soil body is also easy to cause mud leakage, which leads to environmental pollution and slurry waste, and it is also difficult to be recycled, which is not conducive to environmental protection; at the same time, the excavated mud pit needs to be backfilled after drilling is completed, which increases the drilling workload and is not convenient to use.
[0004] Therefore, in the prior art, ground storage tank is arranged near borehole, and overflowed mud is directly guided to storage tank by pipeline, then mud is pumped into drill pipe by mud pump and pipeline, so as to avoid the inconvenience of excavating mud pool on ground; however, since overflowed mud needs to be guided to storage tank by pipeline, sealing structure needs to be used between drill pipe and slag discharge pipe, which not only leads to complex structure, but also causes trouble in later maintenance, and storage tank needs to occupy additional ground space, which affects well site layout. In addition, in the prior art, movable flushing fluid circulating vehicle is provided, electric control system is arranged on the top of flushing fluid circulating vehicle, waste liquid input pipe and purified liquid output pipe are arranged on flushing fluid circulating vehicle, and flushing fluid purification circulating system is arranged between waste liquid input pipe and purified liquid output pipe inside flushing fluid circulating vehicle; so that flushing fluid can be recycled and purified without falling to the ground, which solves the problem that flushing fluid waste directly accumulates in flushing fluid pool, leading to serious pollution at construction site, large waste of flushing fluid resources and recycling difficulty, and also facilitates flexible and on-demand movement and recycling. However, sealing structure also needs to be arranged between drill pipe and slag discharge pipe, which causes the difficulty of complex structure and maintenance trouble, and also needs to occupy additional ground space.
[0005] Therefore, developing a flushing liquid circulating device with simple structure, convenient movement, no mud leakage, smooth slag discharge and small space occupation has positive practical significance for engineering geological drilling. The utility model discloses

[0011] Further, the top end of the inflatable sleeve is connected to a gas pipe extending through the bottom end of the sedimentation tank and extending to the outside or above the sedimentation tank, and the end of the gas pipe away from the inflatable sleeve is connected to a gas supply system.
[0012] Further, the sedimentation tank is an open slot with a circular or polygonal shape, the slurry outlet cylinder is fixedly penetrated through the center position of the bottom end of the sedimentation tank, and the at least two lugs are uniformly distributed on the outer wall of the sedimentation tank.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. This utility model uses a closed-loop circulation tank assembly (sedimentation tank + discharge cylinder) to replace the open-air mud pit, combined with sealing rings (such as sponge rings, rubber rings or inflatable sleeves) to seal the borehole, thereby avoiding the problem of mud leakage polluting the soil and groundwater; moreover, the sedimentation tank structure surrounding the discharge cylinder does not require the excavation of a mud pit, and the device can be directly installed using the borehole structure, which is especially suitable for sensitive areas such as urban road surveys, avoiding ground damage and restoration costs, and improving construction efficiency; and through the lifting lugs on the outer wall of the sedimentation tank, the device can be quickly hoisted and moved without complex earthwork, reducing the construction cycle and labor costs, thereby solving the environmental protection and construction problems of traditional mud pits.
[0019] 2. This utility model, by setting a slurry outlet cylinder that can pass through the drill rod, and the outer diameter of the slurry outlet cylinder is smaller than the borehole diameter, allows the flushing fluid carrying rock cuttings to enter the gap between the slurry outlet cylinder and the drill rod from the borehole with a larger cross-sectional area and overflow. Because the cross-sectional area of the gap through which it passes is greatly reduced, the flow rate of the flushing fluid mixed with rock cuttings increases under pressure, which can quickly carry out the mixed rock cuttings and avoid the problem of rock cuttings settling to the bottom due to the low flow rate, thereby improving the smoothness of slag removal and drilling efficiency.
[0020] 3. The inner diameter of the discharge cylinder of this utility model is larger than the outer diameter of the drill pipe and the outer diameter is smaller than the borehole diameter. Combined with the top bevel design and baffle guidance, it can ensure that rock cuttings are efficiently discharged with the flushing fluid to reduce the risk of blockage, and can also block and retain rock cuttings in the sedimentation tank to prevent them from being pumped back into the borehole, thus improving the smoothness of slag discharge and the slag trapping effect. Moreover, the sedimentation tank surrounds the discharge cylinder to form an integrated and compact structure, so it occupies significantly less space than traditional storage tanks or mud pits. Since the mud overflows directly from the top of the discharge cylinder into the sedimentation tank, there is no need to set a sealing structure at the outlet end of the discharge cylinder, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing the amount of subsequent maintenance work, thus achieving the purpose of optimizing the flushing fluid circulation efficiency and space occupation.
[0021] 4. The sealing ring of this utility model adopts an adaptive sealing technology with an inverted conical ring or an inflatable sleeve design, which can adapt to drilling holes of different diameters and does not require a complex sealing structure (such as traditional pipeline sealing), reducing the risk of leakage and the difficulty of maintenance (such as the inflatable sleeve expanding through an air pipe to achieve dynamic sealing; the inverted conical ring automatically adhering to the hole wall by gravity); and by adding a splash guard that snaps onto the sedimentation tank, mud splashing can be reduced, thereby ensuring operational safety and avoiding the risk of mud leakage, thus improving sealing performance and ease of maintenance.
[0022] In summary, this utility model solves the pain points of traditional drilling flushing fluid storage and circulation with low cost and high reliability through structural innovation and functional integration. It is especially suitable for urban road surveys, environmentally sensitive areas (such as water sources and ecological protection areas), and short-term or mobile exploration projects. Furthermore, by improving environmental friendliness, economy, and ease of operation, it provides an effective solution for the sustainable development of engineering geological drilling.
