[0031] As Figs. 1-3 shown, a micro reamer, comprising: a shell 1, the shell 1 is a segmented cylindrical structure, both ends are large cylinders 11, the middle is a small cylinder 12, a plurality of first group of ribbons 2 and second group of ribbons 3 are arranged on the side wall of the small cylinder 12 respectively, and the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 are arranged alternately, the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 are distributed on the shell 1 at equal intervals, wherein the first group of ribbons 2 is a trapezoidal structure, and the end close to the large cylinder 11 is low, and the end away from the large cylinder 11 is high, the end close to the large cylinder 11 of the second group of ribbons 3 is an arc structure, and the end away from the large cylinder 11 is a square structure; the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 are used for expanding the pipe wall and removing rock debris; and the surface of the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 is provided with a wear-resistant layer, the wear-resistant layer is used for resisting wear; the first group of ribbons 2, the second group of ribbons 3 and the shell 1 are integrally formed.
[0032] In the present application, the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 are provided with a wear-resistant layer on the surface, which can significantly improve the service life and reliability of the micro reamer by reducing the friction coefficient, enhancing the surface hardness and corrosion resistance; the setting of the wear-resistant layer can reduce the wear and scratch of the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 in complex strata or high-load operation, avoid the problems of jamming, occlusion or corrosion caused by increased friction, and at the same time, the self-lubricating property can reduce the maintenance frequency, adapt to harsh working conditions such as high temperature and high pressure, and finally realize efficient and stable cutting or reaming operation.
[0033] Meanwhile, the shell 1, the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 are integrally formed through high-temperature and high-pressure sintering technology and nano-enhanced material composite process; the technology uniformly mixes hard alloy powder and nano-level reinforced materials (such as cubic boron nitride and graphene), forms a transition layer of the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 and the shell 1 through gradient matching in the mold, and then combines the two into a whole at the atomic level by using ultra-high pressure sintering; this way eliminates the interface defects of traditional welding or bonding, greatly improves the bonding strength and impact resistance, and at the same time, disperses stress through nano materials to avoid the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 from falling off the shell 1, significantly prolonging the service life of the micro reamer; the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3 are arranged alternately, which not only enhances the guidance and stability, but also optimizes the chip removal effect.
[0034] Further, the first group of ribbons 2 comprises: first ribbons A21 and first ribbons B22, which are obliquely and symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the shell 1, and the top of the opposite ends of the first ribbons A21 and the first ribbons B22 are respectively provided with first wear-resistant layers 23; and the side wall of the same side end of the first ribbons A21 and the first ribbons B22 is provided with an equal number of first wear-resistant columns 24; the second group of ribbons 3 comprises: second ribbons A31 and second ribbons B32, which are obliquely and symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the shell 1, and the top of the opposite ends of the second ribbons A31 and the second ribbons B32 are respectively provided with second wear-resistant layers 33; and the side wall of the same side end of the second ribbons A31 and the second ribbons B32 is provided with an equal number of second wear-resistant columns 34.
[0035] In the embodiment, the first ribbons A21 and the first ribbons B22, and the second ribbons A31 and the second ribbons B32 are symmetrically and obliquely arranged on the shell 1. This design not only enhances the guidance and stability of the tool, so that the micro reamer remains centered and reduces the risk of deviation during drilling, but also optimizes the chip removal effect. The oblique ribbons effectively guide the rock debris out, avoiding blockage. In addition, the symmetric layout ensures uniform pressure distribution during operation, reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by local stress concentration, and improves wear resistance, because the wear is more evenly distributed on the contact surface, prolonging the service life of the micro reamer.
[0036] Further, the wear-resistant layers comprise: first wear-resistant layers 23 and second wear-resistant layers 33, the first wear-resistant layers 23 are arranged on the top of the opposite ends of the first ribbons A21 and the first ribbons B22; and the second wear-resistant layers 33 are arranged on the top of the opposite ends of the second ribbons A31 and the second ribbons B32.
[0037] In the embodiment, the first wear-resistant layers 23 and the second wear-resistant layers 33 are tungsten carbide alloy wear-resistant layers. The laser cladding technology is used to form a coating with specific properties on the surface of the first wear-resistant layers 23 and the second wear-resistant layers 33. This process is achieved by precisely controlling the energy density and scanning speed of the laser, ensuring good metallurgical bonding between the cladding layer and the substrate. This technology can significantly improve the hardness and wear resistance of the surface of the first group of ribbons 2 and the second group of ribbons 3. Laser cladding is an advanced surface treatment technology that uses a high-energy laser beam to melt and deposit selected materials (usually in powder or filament form) onto the surface of the substrate material. At the same time, the tungsten carbide alloy wear-resistant layer has extremely high hardness and can effectively resist wear. Its arrangement can significantly prolong the service life of the micro reamer.
[0038] Further, the first wear-resistant columns 24 and the second wear-resistant columns 34 are located on the same side and are staggered.
[0039] In this embodiment, the first group of ribbons 2 has 4 wear-resistant columns 24 each, and the second group of ribbons 3 has 3 wear-resistant columns 34 each. Each wear-resistant column 24 on the first ribbons A21 and B22 is staggered with each wear-resistant column 34 on the second ribbons A31 and B32, and all wear-resistant columns 24 and 34 are arranged on the same side. This design can significantly improve the wear resistance and working efficiency of the tool. The staggered wear-resistant columns not only increase the key support points when contacting the formation, but also improve the cutting stability and guidance. Moreover, the wear distribution is more uniform, reducing the risk of local excessive wear, thereby prolonging the service life of the tool. In addition, such a layout helps to optimize the debris discharge path and prevent clogging, further improving the stability and efficiency during drilling. Overall, this design enhances the adaptability and reliability of the equipment in complex geological conditions.
[0040] Further, the first wear-resistant column 24 and the second wear-resistant column 34 are each provided with a diamond compact. Diamond compact is a composite material sintered from polycrystalline diamond powder and hard alloy substrate under high temperature and high pressure. It has extremely high hardness and wear resistance, significantly improving its wear resistance compared to existing hard alloys. Diamond compact can also maintain cutting efficiency for a long time under extreme conditions, reducing the frequency of replacement. It can also improve drilling efficiency, especially in soft to medium hard formations, as it can more effectively cut rock and reduce drilling time.
[0041] At the same time, by adding nanoscale materials (such as cubic boron nitride or graphene) to the diamond compact, it can disperse the impact force of the diamond compact like a "cushion", reducing stress concentration between the diamond layer and the substrate. This significantly improves the impact resistance of the diamond compact, making it less likely to fall off the ribbons, thereby prolonging the service life of the micro-expander.
[0042] Further, one end of the large cylinder 11 is provided with a tapered threaded hole 13, and the other end of the large cylinder 11 is provided with a tapered threaded column 14. The tapered threaded hole 13 is usually connected with a drill pipe, a drill collar or other downhole tool assembly, and the tapered threaded column 14 is usually directly connected with other drilling tools such as a drill bit, a stabilizer or another section of drill pipe.

Those skilled in the art belonging to the utility model technical field can make various changes and decorations without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be defined by the claims.
