Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In municipal engineering, communication engineering and other underground pipeline laying construction, horizontal directional drilling technology is widely used due to its small impact on the surrounding environment, high construction efficiency and other advantages.

[0003] Patent No. CN221400356U discloses a horizontal directional drilling pipe dragging device. The reamer of the patent adopts a hollow design. After the drill cuttings enter the reamer, the differential speed of the drill rod and the spiral conveying rod causes the drill cuttings to be discharged in time, allowing the drill cuttings generated by reaming to continuously enter the reamer, reducing the flow of drill cuttings between the pipeline and the hole wall, and reducing the possibility of scratching the pipeline, preventing damage to the pipeline anticorrosion layer and affecting the service life. The pipe dragging head is driven by an electric push rod to move the connecting rod, forcing the fixed block to tightly contact the inner wall of the pipeline, thereby achieving quick connection of the pipe dragging head body and the pipeline. When the pipeline and the hole wall rub, the resistance of the fixed block to the pipeline can be increased, making the connection more reliable.

[0004] Under normal circumstances, the pipeline used in pipe dragging construction is mostly PE pipe or PP pipe, and the pipeline laying distance is generally long.
