Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drilling equipment technology, and in particular to a device for preventing deviation in long boreholes with small inclination angles. Background Technology

[0002] In many fields such as mining, geological exploration, and construction, long boreholes with small inclination angles are often required. However, during actual drilling, the drill rod is prone to deviation due to various factors such as complex and variable geological conditions, the weight of the drill rod itself, and vibrations during drilling. Once the drill rod deviates, it not only causes the borehole trajectory to deviate from the predetermined design, reducing drilling accuracy and affecting the smooth progress of subsequent projects—for example, in mining, it may be impossible to accurately reach the predetermined ore layer, resulting in resource waste; in construction, it may affect the stability and safety of buildings.

[0003] Furthermore, drill pipe misalignment can lead to problems such as drill pipe breakage and accelerated drill bit wear, increasing equipment maintenance costs, extending construction cycles, and in severe cases, even causing the entire drilling operation to fail, resulting in huge economic losses for enterprises. Currently, existing drill pipe anti-misalignment devices on the market are either complex in structure and cumbersome in operation, making them difficult to install and debug quickly and effectively in actual construction; or their anti-misalignment effect is unsatisfactory and cannot meet the increasingly demanding drilling accuracy requirements.

[0004] To address this problem, a device for preventing deviation in long boreholes with small inclination angles has been invented. Utility Model Content

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 One embodiment shown is as follows: The anti-deviation device for long boreholes with small inclination angles includes a fixed frame 1, which provides a stable support foundation for the entire device. A swing frame 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1, allowing the swing frame 2 to swing relative to the fixed frame 1. A slidable sliding cylinder 3 is slidably connected to the swing frame 2 via a sliding rail and a slider. The sliding cylinder 3 has a through hole that matches the outer diameter of the drill rod 4, allowing the drill rod 4 to move within the sliding cylinder 3 and move axially along the sliding cylinder 3. A guide assembly 5 is installed at one end of the sliding cylinder 3, guiding the drill rod 4 as it passes through. A moving assembly 6 is installed on the swing frame 2, driving the guide assembly 5 to move together with the sliding cylinder 3. An angle adjustment assembly 7 is provided on the fixed frame 1, allowing the angle of the swing frame 2 to be adjusted.

[0028] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: After the entire device is installed, the drill rod 4 passes through the sliding cylinder 3 and the guide assembly 5 to perform drilling operations. The swing frame 2 can change its angle under the action of the angle adjustment assembly 7 to adapt to different small-angle drilling requirements; the guide assembly 5 can be adjusted on the swing frame 2 under the drive of the moving assembly 6 to better guide the drill rod 4.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 One embodiment shown is as follows: the guide assembly 5 comprises multiple split guide sleeve segments 8, which are arranged sequentially. Each guide sleeve segment 8 has a spiral guide groove 9 machined on its inner wall, and multiple guide blocks 10 that can slide along the guide groove 9 are installed within the guide groove 9. The drill rod 4 passes through each guide sleeve segment 8, and the outer wall of the drill rod 4 contacts and connects with the guide block 10, thereby guiding the drill rod 4. A connecting assembly 11 is provided between two adjacent guide sleeve segments 8.

[0030] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: During the drilling process, when the drill rod 4 passes through the guide sleeve segment 8, the guide block 10 slides in the spiral guide groove 9. At the same time, the guide block 10 contacts the drill rod 4, restricting the radial movement of the drill rod 4 and providing a spiral guide path for the drill rod 4, effectively preventing the drill rod 4 from deviating.

[0031] Reference Figure 7 One embodiment shown is as follows: the connecting assembly 11 includes a connecting flange 14 and guide sleeve segments 8. The connecting flange 14 fixes the connecting assembly 11 to the sliding cylinder 3. Each end of the guide sleeve segment 8 is fixedly connected to a connecting flange 14. Multiple fastening bolts 12 are provided on the connecting flange 14. By passing the fastening bolts 12 through the corresponding bolt holes on the connecting flange 14 of two connected guide sleeve segments 8 and tightening the nuts, the two guide sleeve segments 8 are connected. The guide grooves 9 between the two connected guide sleeve segments 8 are interconnected to ensure the continuity of guidance.

[0032] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: the cooperation between the connecting flange 14 and the fastening bolt 12 makes the installation and disassembly of the guide sleeve segment 8 more convenient, and facilitates the replacement of damaged guide sleeve segments 8. The mutual connection of the guide grooves 9 ensures that the guiding effect of the drill pipe 4 is not interrupted when passing through different guide sleeve segments 8, and continuously and stably guides the drill pipe 4.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 One embodiment shown is as follows: The moving component 6 includes a second rotating shaft 13, which is rotatably connected to the swing frame 2 via a bearing housing. A second driving gear 15 is fixedly mounted on the second rotating shaft 13. A second driven shaft 16 is also rotatably connected to the swing frame 2 via another set of bearing housings. A second intermediate gear 17, which can mesh with the second driving gear 15, is fixedly mounted on the second driven shaft 16. A second driven gear 18 is also fixedly mounted on the second driven shaft 16. A rack 19 is fixed to the sliding cylinder 3 by welding or other fixing methods, and this rack 19 can mesh with the second driven gear 18.

[0034] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: When the second rotating shaft 13 is rotated, the second driving gear 15 rotates accordingly. Through meshing with the second intermediate gear 17, it drives the second driven shaft 16 to rotate, thereby causing the second driven gear 18 to rotate. The meshing of the second driven gear 18 with the rack 19 converts the rotation of the second driven gear 18 into the linear movement of the sliding cylinder 3, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the guide component 5.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 8One embodiment shown is as follows: A ratchet assembly 20 is provided on the swing frame 2 to limit the second rotating shaft 13. The ratchet assembly 20 includes two ratchet wheels 21 fixed to the second rotating shaft 13. On the swing frame 2, pawls 22 corresponding to the ratchet wheels 21 are hinged by pins, and the pawls 22 can be inserted between the ratchet teeth on the ratchet wheels 21. A spring plate 23 is also installed on the swing frame 2, and the spring plate 23 contacts the pawls 22 to provide the force for the pawls 22 to insert between the ratchet teeth.

[0036] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: after the second rotating shaft 13 rotates to adjust the position of the guide component 5, the pawl 22 is inserted between the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 21 under the action of the spring plate 23, preventing the second rotating shaft 13 from rotating in the opposite direction, preventing the position of the guide component 5 from changing due to vibration or other reasons, and ensuring the stability of the position of the guide component 5.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 One embodiment shown is as follows: The angle adjustment assembly 7 includes a first drive shaft 24, which is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1 via bearings. A first drive gear 25 is fixedly mounted on the first drive shaft 24. A rotatable first driven shaft 26 is also mounted on the fixed frame 1 via another set of bearings. A first driven gear 27, capable of meshing with the first drive gear 25, is mounted on the first driven shaft 26. A first rotating handle 28 is mounted at one end of the first driven shaft 26 for easy rotation by the operator; the other end of the first driven shaft 26 is fixedly connected to the swing frame 2. A locking mechanism 29 is provided on the fixed frame 1 for locking the first drive gear 25.

[0038] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: the operator rotates the first rotating handle 28, which drives the first driven shaft 26 to rotate, and the first driven gear 27 rotates accordingly. Through meshing with the first driving gear 25, the first driving shaft 24 is driven to rotate, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the swing frame 2. When the appropriate angle is adjusted, the first driving gear 25 is locked by the locking mechanism 29 to fix the angle of the swing frame 2.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 One embodiment shown is as follows: The locking mechanism 29 includes a locking block 30, which is slidably connected to the fixed frame 1 and can be inserted between two adjacent teeth of the first drive gear 25. A locking rod 31 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1 via a pin, and the locking rod 31 can contact the locking block 30. When the locking rod 31 rotates, it engages with the locking block 30, limiting the locking block 30's position.

[0040] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: after the swing frame 2 is adjusted to a suitable angle, the locking block 30 is inserted between the teeth of the first drive gear 25, and then the locking rod 31 is rotated to engage with the locking block 30, thereby restricting the movement of the locking block 30, preventing the first drive gear 25 from rotating, fixing the angle of the swing frame 2, and ensuring the stability of the device during the drilling process.

[0041] The working principle of this device is as follows: The device is installed and fixed, with the drill rod 4 passing through the sliding cylinder 3 and the guide assembly 5. The operator can rotate the first rotating handle 28 according to the small inclination angle requirement of the drilling design. The first rotating handle 28 drives the first driven shaft 26 to rotate, and the first driven gear 27 on the first driven shaft 26 rotates accordingly. The first driving gear 25, meshing with the first driven gear 27, drives the first driving shaft 24 to rotate, thereby achieving angle adjustment of the swing frame 2 relative to the fixed frame 1. After adjustment, the first driving gear 25 is locked by the locking mechanism 29. The locking block 30 of the locking mechanism 29 is inserted between adjacent teeth of the first driving gear 25, and the rotating lever 31 engages with the locking block 30, preventing the first driving gear 25 from rotating and ensuring the angle of the swing frame 2 is fixed.

[0042] During drilling, the guide assembly 5 plays a crucial role. The drill rod 4 passes through multiple split guide sleeve segments 8, and the guide blocks 10 within the spiral guide grooves 9 on the inner wall of the guide sleeve segments 8 contact the drill rod 4. The guide blocks 10 slide within the spiral guide grooves 9, providing a spiral guide path for the drill rod 4, restricting the radial movement of the drill rod 4, and preventing the drill rod 4 from deviating. Adjacent guide sleeve segments 8 are connected by connecting flanges 14 and fastening bolts 12, and the guide grooves 9 are interconnected to ensure the continuity of guidance.

[0043] When the position of the guide assembly 5 needs to be adjusted, the second rotating shaft 13 is rotated. The second driving gear 15 on the second rotating shaft 13 rotates accordingly, driving the second intermediate gear 17 meshing with it to rotate. The second intermediate gear 17 drives the second driven shaft 16 to rotate, causing the second driven gear 18 on the second driven shaft 16 to rotate. Since the rack 19 is fixed on the sliding cylinder 3, the second driven gear 18 meshes with the rack 19, thereby driving the sliding cylinder 3 to slide along the swing frame 2, realizing the adjustment of the position of the guide assembly 5 to adapt to different needs during the drilling process. After the adjustment is completed, the ratchet assembly 20 plays a role. The pawl 22 is inserted between the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 21 under the action of the spring plate 23, preventing the second rotating shaft 13 from rotating due to vibration or other unexpected situations, and ensuring the stability of the position of the guide assembly 5.

[0044] The working principle of this device has been explained through the above embodiments. These embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
