[0002] In fields such as geological exploration, mineral resource development, and infrastructure construction, core drilling is an important means of obtaining underground information. With the increase in exploration depth and the increasing requirements for the accuracy of underground information, traditional core drilling and measurement technologies face many challenges.
[0003] In existing wireline coring tools, the main function of the retaining ring is to fix the retaining ring and prevent its axial movement. However, in actual drilling operations, there are some problems. First, when the core enters the inner tube, the core is prone to tilting due to the lack of a guiding structure, which increases the risk of core breakage. Second, the existing retaining ring has a large frictional resistance between it and the core, which has an adverse effect on the core extraction efficiency. Third, the existing retaining ring cannot adapt to the irregular shape of the core in complex formations.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] First Embodiment
[0029] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the first embodiment of a retaining ring structure for a wireline coring tool with a straightening and guiding function provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the centering retainer ring. A retainer ring structure for a wireline coring drill bit with centering and guiding functions includes:
[0030] 1. Core drill bit; 2. Snap ring seat; 3. Multiple snap rings; 4. Straightening retainer; 5. Hole expander; and 6. Inner tube.
[0031] The inner tube 6 is disposed at one end of the core drill bit 1;
[0032] The snap ring seat 2 is disposed inside the inner tube 6, and multiple snap rings 3 are disposed inside the snap ring seat 2. The straightening retaining ring 4 is disposed inside the core drill bit 1 and located at one end of the snap ring 3.
[0033] The expander 5 is disposed on the surface of the inner tube 6.
[0034] The core drill bit 1 is used to extract cylindrical rock samples from the formation.
[0035] The inner tube 6 is a stationary tube used to contain the rock core.

[0037] The integrated device is made of wear-resistant polyetheretherketone composite material or surface-hardened alloy steel.
[0038] Dimensions: The inner diameter of the centering ring is 0.3-0.5mm larger than the inner diameter of the drill bit, and it matches the stepped hole of the snap ring seat.
[0039] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 It was learned that the guide chamfer design:
[0040] A 30° guide slope is set at the upper chamfer, which has the function of guiding the rock core into the inner tube;
[0041] The lower chamfer is designed as a 30° transition surface, which is a foolproof design and also improves the service life of the straightening ring.
[0042] Installation structure:
[0043] The straightening retaining ring 4 is installed in the stepped hole of the snap ring seat with a clearance fit;
[0044] The upper part of the straightening retaining ring 4 has an inner tube male thread, and the lower part has an inner conical surface of the snap ring seat 2, which causes the straightening retaining ring 4 to move up and down within a certain area.
[0045] Working in conjunction with snap ring 3:
[0046] The inner diameter of the straightening retaining ring 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the snap ring 3, thus constraining the axial movement of the snap ring 3 and preventing the snap ring 3 from entering the inner hole of the inner tube 6;
[0047] A gap of about 10mm is maintained between the bottom surface of the straightening retaining ring 4 and the inner step of the retaining ring seat 2 to avoid core blockage.
[0048] Insert the snap ring 3 into the inner hole of the snap ring seat 2 with the smaller outer diameter end facing inwards. Insert the retaining ring 4 into the stepped hole of the snap ring seat 2. Screw the snap ring seat 2 onto the external thread of the inner tube 6. Screw the core drill bit 1 onto the external thread of the reamer 5. Insert the snap ring seat 2 into the inner hole of the reamer 5 until it reaches a certain distance from the inner end face of the core drill bit 1.

[0050] This utility model provides a retaining ring structure for a wireline coring drill with a straightening and guiding function, which improves the quality of coring: the breakage rate and wear rate of the rock core are reduced through the effect of the guide chamfer.
[0051] Enhanced formation adaptability: It can adapt to the coring requirements of irregular rock cores in fractured strata;
[0052] Extended service life: Due to the use of wear-resistant materials, the service life of the centering retaining ring 4 is longer than that of traditional retaining rings.
