[0018] Please see Figs. 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a drill rod connection structure, including a first drill rod 1 and a second drill rod 12. The outer side of the connecting end of the first drill rod 1 is provided with an external thread 11, and the connecting end of the second drill rod 12 is provided with a threaded groove 13. The first drill rod 1 and the second drill rod 12 are spirally connected via the external thread 11 and the threaded groove 13. A fastening mechanism is used for the fixed connection of the first drill rod 1 and the second drill rod 12. The fastening mechanism includes a connecting block 14 and a connecting groove 15. The connecting block 14 is fixedly installed at the end of the first drill rod 1 where the external thread 11 is located. The connecting groove 15 is located in the middle of the threaded groove 13. The connecting block 14 is movably connected to the connecting groove 15. The dimensions of the connecting block 14 and the connecting groove 15 are matched. The interior of the connecting block 14 is provided with a sliding groove 16. A slot 17 is provided through the middle of the sliding groove 16 near the second drill rod 12. An insert block 18 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the connecting groove 15. The insert block 18 is movably connected to the slot 17, and the dimensions of the insert block 18 and the sliding groove 16 are matched. Two sets of adjusting blocks 2 are slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 16. The two sets of adjusting blocks 2 are arranged in pairs, and the sides of the adjusting blocks 2 are triangular. A guide rod 21 is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer side of the adjusting block 2. A fixing block 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the guide rod 21 on the outer side of the sliding groove 16. The fixing block 22 is movably connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 15.

[0019] In this technical solution, the threaded groove 13 is spirally connected to the external thread 11, which facilitates the fixed connection between the first drill rod 1 and the second drill rod 12. At this time, the connecting block 14 at one end of the first drill rod 1 is inserted into the connecting groove 15 inside the second drill rod 12. The insert block 18 is movably connected to the slot 17. One end of the insert block 18 can be inserted into the slide groove 16. Since the side of the adjusting block 2 is triangular, the insert block 18 can push the two sets of adjusting blocks 2 to move in opposite directions in the slide groove 16. The guide rod 21 can push the two sets of fixing blocks 22 to move in opposite directions and press against the inner wall of the connecting groove 15, further improving the connection stability between the first drill rod 1 and the second drill rod 12.

[0020] In this embodiment, two sets of springs 23 are provided inside the slide groove 16. The two ends of the springs 23 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting block 2 and the inner wall of the slide groove 16, respectively. The insert block 18 is movably connected to the adjusting block 2, and the guide rod 21 is matched with the size of the slide groove 16.

[0021] In this technical solution, when the first drill rod 1 and the second drill rod 12 are separated, and the external thread 11 is moved out of the thread groove 13, the insert block 18 is moved out of the slot 17. Through the elastic force of the spring 23, the two sets of adjusting blocks 2 can be pushed to move relative to each other in the slide groove 16. Through the guide rod 21, the two sets of fixing blocks 22 can be pulled to move relative to each other and separate from the inner wall of the connecting groove 15, which facilitates the separation of the first drill rod 1 and the second drill rod 12.

[0022] In this embodiment, a guide groove 24 is provided through the middle of the inner wall of the top and bottom ends of the slide groove 16. The guide rod 21 is slidably connected to the guide groove 24, and the spring 23 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 21.

[0023] In this technical solution, the sliding connection between the guide rod 21 and the guide groove 24 can improve the stability of the movement of the adjusting block 2 in the adjusting groove, and further improve the use effect of the fixed block 22. At the same time, the guide rod 21 can limit the spring 23 to prevent the spring 23 from tilting when it is compressed and extended, thus affecting the use effect.

[0024] In a drill pipe docking structure, the threaded groove 13 is screwed to the external thread 11, facilitating the fixed connection between the first drill pipe 1 and the second drill pipe 12. At this time, the connecting block 14 at one end of the first drill pipe 1 is inserted into the connecting groove 15 inside the second drill pipe 12. It is movably connected to the slot 17 via the insert block 18. One end of the insert block 18 can be inserted into the slide groove 16. Because the side of the adjusting block 2 is triangular, the insert block 18 can push the two sets of adjusting blocks 2 to move in opposite directions within the slide groove 16. The guide rod 21 can also push the two sets of... The fixing block 22 moves in the opposite direction and presses against the inner wall of the connecting groove 15, further improving the connection stability between the first drill rod 1 and the second drill rod 12. When the first drill rod 1 and the second drill rod 12 are separated and the external thread 11 moves out of the thread groove 13, the insert block 18 moves out of the slot 17. Under the elastic force of the spring 23, the two sets of adjusting blocks 2 can be pushed to move relative to each other in the sliding groove 16. The guide rod 21 can pull the two sets of fixing blocks 22 to move relative to each other and separate them from the inner wall of the connecting groove 15, which facilitates the separation of the first drill rod 1 and the second drill rod 12.
