AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, nozzles need to be manually adjusted individually, and it is difficult to keep the opening of multiple nozzles consistent, resulting in inaccurate flow regulation and failing to meet the flow control requirements of complex downhole environments.
A drill string adapter with nozzles was designed. The locking mechanism releases the locking of the positioning rod, and the rotation of the outer ring drives the inner ring to rotate. The positioning rod is locked after being inserted into different positioning holes, so as to realize the synchronous rotation of multiple sets of liquid inlet holes and adjust the overlap angle of the nozzle channels to control the flow rate.
It enables precise control of drilling fluid flow, reduces friction between the outer ring and the well wall, prevents the positioning rod from breaking, and improves the safety and efficiency of drilling operations.

The traditional drill string structure is difficult to meet the requirements of efficient chip removal and stable wellbore pressure in these complex environments. For example, during the drilling process of high-angle wells and horizontal wells, cuttings are prone to accumulate at the low side of the wellbore, and more effective methods are needed to carry the cuttings out of the wellbore.
[0003] The continuous increase in drilling depth also makes the downhole environment more complex and variable, such as changes in temperature and pressure. In order to adapt to these changes, a device is needed that can optimize the flow of drilling fluid, and the drill string swivel joint with nozzles has emerged as the times require. It can better control the direction and flow of drilling fluid injection to cope with complex downhole environments.
[0004] During normal drilling, the annular return speed changes significantly at the change in the outer diameter of the drill string, which has a great impact on drilling operations. Part of the drilling fluid flows downward through the lower drill string and enters the lower annulus, and the other part of the drilling fluid directly passes through the nozzles in the passage and enters the upper annulus with the drilling fluid returning from the lower annulus. By adjusting the size of the nozzles, the return speed of the drilling fluid in the lower annulus can be controlled, thereby achieving the same return speed of the upper and lower annuli and reducing the change in the annular return speed.
