[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0018] The following will combine Figs. 1-2 A detailed description of a drilling torque impactor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be provided.

[0019] Example:

[0020] This utility model provides a drilling torque impactor, referenced... Figs. 1-2 As shown, the device includes a main body 1 for a drilling impeller-driven torque impactor. A rotatable impeller shaft 2 is installed inside the main body 1. A convex ring 3 is integrally formed in the middle of the impeller shaft 2. A sleeve 4 is fitted onto the upper part of the impeller shaft 2 above the convex ring 3. An impeller 5 is welded inside the sleeve 4. An external thread 6 is provided on the upper part of the impeller shaft 2, and a locking nut 7 is connected to the impeller shaft 2 via the external thread 6. In this structure, the impeller 5 inside the impeller-driven torque impactor main body 1 is welded to the sleeve 4. The sleeve 4 is then fitted onto the impeller shaft 2, and the locking nut 7, in conjunction with the convex ring 3, locks and fixes it to the impeller shaft 2. Later, when the impeller 5 wears out due to long-term use of the impeller-driven torque impactor main body 1, personnel only need to remove the locking nut 7 and then remove the sleeve 4 from the impeller shaft 2 to disassemble the entire impeller 5 and replace it with a new one. This eliminates the need to replace the entire impeller shaft 2 structure, saving on later maintenance costs.

[0021] refer to Figs. 1-2 As shown, the outer wall of the upper impeller shaft 2 of the convex ring 3 is integrally constructed with multiple key bars 9, and the inner wall of the sleeve 4 is fitted with multiple keyways 10. The key bars 9 and keyways 10 are adapted to be inserted into each other. This structure uses the cooperation between the key bars 9 and keyways 10 to prevent the sleeve 4 and the impeller shaft 2 from rotating relative to each other, while ensuring stable power transmission between the impeller 5 and the impeller shaft 2.

[0022] refer to Figs. 1-2 As shown, there are two locking nuts 7, which serve to prevent loosening.

[0023] refer to Figs. 1-2As shown, a guide hole 11 is provided in the middle of the impeller shaft 2, and a reversing fluid hole 12 is provided in the lower part of the impeller shaft 2. The impeller shaft 2 has an axial through structure from the guide hole 11 to the reversing fluid hole 12. This structure allows drilling fluid to enter the interior of the impeller shaft 2 through the guide hole 11 and flow into the reversing fluid hole 12. The circumferential fluid hole 12 allows drilling fluid to enter between the support ring and the impeller shaft 2, thereby driving the impact cone to perform cyclic oscillating cone impact.

[0024] It should be noted that the specific structure and principle of the impeller-driven torque impactor body 1 have been disclosed, and can be found in patent CN111456624B. Its specific structural features also include an upper connector, a middle body, an impact hammer, and a lower connector. One end of the upper connector is fixedly connected to one end of the middle body, and the other end of the middle body is fitted onto one end of the lower connector and rotatably sealed to it. A middle body baffle is provided radially inside the middle body, and a lower connector baffle is provided radially inside the lower connector. Stepped structures are provided on both sides of the impeller shaft 2. A flow-diverting plate is fixedly provided on the side of the middle body that is fixed to the upper connector. The flow-diverting plate has several flow-diverting holes. One end of the impeller shaft 2 is inserted into the flow-diverting plate and limited by the stepped structure at that end. The other end of the impeller shaft 2 passes through the middle body baffle and is limited by the stepped structure at that end. The impeller 5 and the guide hole 11 on the impeller shaft 2 are located between the flow-diverting plate and the middle body baffle. The components are arranged axially in sequence, with the reversing fluid hole 12 located on one side where the impeller shaft 2 passes through the middle body baffle; a throttling nozzle seat is located in the center of the lower connector baffle, and four evenly distributed pressure relief holes are provided on the lower connector baffle around the throttling nozzle seat; four impact baffles are fixedly provided vertically to the lower connector baffle, so that two adjacent pressure relief holes are located between two impact baffles to form an impact cavity; the impact hammer includes a support ring, on which two centrally symmetrical fan-shaped impact fans are provided, and a flow hole is provided on the support ring between the two fan-shaped impact fans; the impact hammer is located between the lower connector baffle and the middle body baffle, and the impeller shaft 2 passes through the support ring and communicates with the throttling nozzle seat; upper cylindrical roller bearings and lower cylindrical roller bearings are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the impact hammer and the impeller shaft 2 in contact; upper tapered roller bearings and lower tapered roller bearings are respectively provided between the impeller shaft 2 and the diversion orifice plate and the middle body baffle;

[0025] When the impeller-driven torque impactor is running, the drilling fluid enters the interior of the main body through the diversion plate, impacting the impeller and causing the impeller shaft 2 to rotate. The drilling fluid enters the impeller shaft 2 through the guide hole 11, and flows into the space between the support ring and the impeller shaft 2 through the reversing fluid hole 12. It then enters the pressure relief hole or impacts the impact fan through the flow hole, causing the impact fan to rotate back and forth in the impact chamber. When the impact fan covers one of the pressure relief holes in the impact chamber, it can expose the other pressure relief hole.

[0026] The implementation principle of a drilling torque impactor according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the impeller 5 inside the impeller-driven torque impactor body 1 is welded to the casing 4, and then the casing 4 is fitted onto the impeller shaft 2. Then, the locking nut 7 and the convex ring 3 are used to lock and fix it on the impeller shaft 2. Later, when the impeller 5 wears due to long-term use of the impeller-driven torque impactor body 1, the personnel only need to remove the locking nut 7 and then remove the casing 4 from the impeller shaft 2, thereby disassembling the entire impeller 5 and replacing it with a new one. This eliminates the need to replace the entire impeller shaft 2 structure, reducing the maintenance cost of the impeller-driven torque impactor body 1 in the later stages.

[0027] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
