Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to geological exploration, and in particular to a core drilling tool for geological exploration. Background Technology

[0002] Geological exploration refers to the process of systematically investigating and studying the Earth's surface and internal structure, material composition, resource distribution, and geological structure through a series of scientific methods and technical means. Its core purpose is to explore natural resources such as minerals, energy, and groundwater, and to provide geological basis for engineering construction, disaster prevention and control, and environmental protection.

[0003] During geological exploration, drilling and sampling are required. Current technology generally involves using a drilling rig to drive the drill bit into the bottom layer and take samples. The drill bit is used to collect and preserve underground soil, rock and other samples.

[0004] In related technologies, drilling tools are generally open, thick-walled, hollow cylindrical structures, mainly consisting of drill rods and drill bits connected in sequence. The drill bit drills through the strata, and the soil and rock are cut into columns and stored in the hollow structure of the drilling tool.

[0005] In existing drilling tools, as the drill bit penetrates deeper into the strata, rock cuttings and soil accumulate, increasing the friction between the drill bit and the borehole wall, which can cause the drill bit to get stuck. To avoid this, cutter wings are typically installed at the drill bit to widen the borehole wall and reduce the contact between the borehole wall and the drill bit, thus reducing friction. However, in existing technologies, the cutter wings are generally integrally formed with the drill bit and are not adjustable. They cannot be adjusted to retract or extend according to the magnitude of friction between the borehole wall and the drill bit, resulting in ineffective energy consumption when the borehole wall friction is low. Utility Model Content

The protrusions are circumferentially spaced around the axis of the collar and are configured to cooperate with the blade wings.

[0013] The apex of the bump is a wedge-shaped tip, the width of which is the vertical distance from the surface of the collar to the tip, and is used to trigger the radial displacement of the blade.

[0014] The limiting mechanism is located on the drill bit to limit the rotation range of the collar.

[0015] Preferably, the standard section includes an inner rod and an outer rod, with the outer rod sleeved on the outer surface of the inner rod;

[0019] Preferably, the drill bit further includes a connecting pipe, which is fixedly connected to the top of the drill bit, and a collar is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting pipe.

[0020] The connecting tube is detachably connected to the lower end of the vertically adjacent inner rod, and the connecting tube and the inner rod have the same diameter.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Example 1: This example aims to propose a core drilling tool for geological exploration.

[0036] Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a standard section, a drill bit 4, multiple blade deployment structures 8, and a limiting mechanism 9.

[0037] Multiple standard sections can be detachably connected to form a drill pipe. A standard section includes an inner rod 1 and an outer rod 2. The outer rod 2 is sleeved on the outer surface of the inner rod 1. The inner rod 1 is provided with an axial limiting structure that is connected to the outer rod 2, so that the inner rod 1 can be rotated when the outer rod 2 rotates.

[0038] A limit key 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner rod 1, and a vertical limit groove is provided on the inner wall of the outer rod 2. The vertical limit groove is slidably connected to the limit key 5.

[0039] The top of the drill bit 4 has an annular mounting groove with an upper opening. A vertically arranged torsion spring 10 is fixedly connected in the annular mounting groove. A collar 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the torsion spring 10. The collar 6 is rotatably sleeved on the upper part of the drill bit 4. A limit block 7 is provided on the top of the collar 6. The limit block 7 is slidably connected to the vertical limit groove on the vertically adjacent outer rod 2, so that the collar 6 can be driven to rotate when the outer rod 2 rotates.

[0040] The drill bit 4 also includes a connecting pipe 3, which is fixedly connected to the top of the drill bit 4. The collar 6 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting pipe 3. The connecting pipe 3 is detachably connected to the lower end of the vertically adjacent inner rod 1. The detachable connection can be a threaded connection. The connecting pipe 3 and the inner rod 1 have the same diameter, so that after the drill bit 4 is connected to the drill rod, the outer rod 2 moves downward and is connected to the limiting block 7 set on the top of the collar 6.

[0041] The drill bit 4 is provided with multiple circumferential grooves around the axis of the drill bit 4, and the grooves are vertically arranged with their openings facing away from the axis of the drill bit 4.

[0042] All blade wing deployment structures 8 are guided and set in the slide grooves, and the blade wing deployment structures 8 correspond one-to-one with the slide grooves.

[0043] The blade wing deployment structure 8 includes blade wing 801 and protrusions 802. Blade wing 801 is slidably disposed in a groove. Blade wing 801 is vertically disposed and can be radially displaced. Protrusions 802 are circumferentially spaced around the axis of collar 6. Protrusions 802 are configured to cooperate with blade wing 801. Protrusions 802 and blade wing 801 correspond one-to-one. When collar 6 rotates, protrusions 802 can contact blade wing 801 and push blade wing 801 to move.

[0044] The apex of the protrusion 802 is a wedge-shaped tip, the width of which is the vertical distance from the surface of the collar 6 to the tip, and is used to trigger the radial displacement of the blade 801.

[0045] The blade wing deployment structure 8 also includes two support rods 803 and two strip-shaped sliding openings 804. The two support rods 803 are arranged vertically and alternately in the sliding groove. Both ends of the support rods 803 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. The strip-shaped sliding openings 804 are opened on the blade wing 801. The strip-shaped sliding openings 804 extend perpendicular to the extension direction of the blade wing 801, and the two strip-shaped sliding openings 804 are arranged vertically and alternately. The support rods 803 are slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding strip-shaped sliding openings 804, so that the blade wing 801 can slide radially. This allows the blade wing 801 to switch between two states: completely within the sliding groove and partially extending outside the sliding groove, so that the blade wing 801 can be retracted and deployed.

[0046] The reset component includes a spring 805. The blade 801 has a relief groove at one end near the axis of the sliding drill bit 4, and the relief groove is perpendicular to the sliding groove. The spring 805 is located at the bottom of the relief groove and is arranged along the extension direction of the relief groove. The spring 805 is fixedly connected between the inner wall of the sliding groove and the inner wall of the relief groove, so that when the protrusion 802 resets, the blade 801 can reset synchronously.

[0047] The limiting mechanism 9 is provided on the drill bit 4 to limit the rotation range of the collar 6. The limiting mechanism 9 includes a baffle 901 and a limiting plate 902. The baffle 901 is fixedly connected to the top of the drill bit 4, and the limiting plate 902 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the collar 6. The baffle 901 and the limiting plate 902 are provided for blocking.

[0048] The baffle 901 and the protrusion 802 are laterally adjacent, and the limiting plate 902 is located between the baffle 901 and the protrusion 802. When the apex of the protrusion 802 contacts the outer surface of the blade 801, the limiting plate 902 contacts the baffle 901. When the collar 6 rotates, it drives the limiting plate 902 to move circumferentially until the baffle 901 contacts the limiting plate 902. When the baffle 901 contacts the limiting plate 902, the drill bit 4 and the drill rod resume transmission connection. The rotation of the drill rod continues to drive the drill bit 4 to rotate, limiting the rotation angle of the collar 6. When the protrusion 802 triggers the guide displacement of the blade 801, the drill bit 4 can continue to rotate, thereby driving the blade 801 to rotate.

[0049] Working principle: When the friction between the hole wall and the drill bit 4 is too great, the torsion spring 10 undergoes elastic deformation, the collar 6 rotates, and the rotation of the collar 6 causes the protrusion 802 to contact the blade 801. Multiple protrusions 802 on the collar 6 are in contact with the blade 801, which stretches the spring 805. The blade 801 slides along the corresponding guide groove, causing the blade 801 to move away from the drill bit 4, thereby causing the blade 801 to unfold and scrape against the hole wall, which expands the inner wall of the hole and reduces the friction between the drill bit 4 and the hole wall. When the friction between the hole wall and the drill bit 4 is reduced to the point that the torsion spring 10 can no longer undergo elastic deformation, the collar 6 gradually returns to its original position, the protrusion 802 disengages from the blade 801, and the blade 801 returns to its original position under the action of the potential energy of the spring 805, thereby causing the blade 801 to retract.

[0050] Therefore, the deployment and retraction of the cutter wing 801 can be automatically switched according to the magnitude of the friction between the drill bit 4 and the hole wall, thereby reducing the risk of the drill bit 4 getting stuck and retracting the cutter wing 801 in a timely manner to reduce energy consumption.

[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims and not by the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
