Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geological exploration technology, specifically to a drill pipe joint. Background Technology

[0002] The drill pipe is a rod that connects the drilling tools and the drill bit during drilling operations and transmits power. One end of the drill pipe is connected to a water tap via a drill pipe connector, allowing high-pressure flushing fluid to be injected into the drill pipe. This fluid cools the heat generated by friction during drill bit drilling and flushes the outer wall of the drill bit when it is lifted. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the existing drill pipe connector technology to provide high-pressure flushing fluid during drill bit drilling without the need to switch the water pump on and off, and to stop flushing the rock core when the drill pipe is lifted.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drill pipe connector, characterized in that it comprises: an upper connector; the upper connector is provided with a main water supply pipe; a water supply component connected to the upper connector; the water supply component is provided with a first water supply pipe and a second water supply pipe; the first water supply pipe and the second water supply pipe are respectively connected to the main water supply pipe; a lower connector slidably connected to the water supply component; when the lower connector is close to the upper connector, the first water supply pipe opens and connects to the main water supply pipe, while the second water supply pipe closes; when the lower connector is away from the upper connector, the first water supply pipe closes, while the second water supply pipe opens and connects to the main water supply pipe.

[0005] In this embodiment, the main water pipe is a through hole arranged along the axis of the upper connector.

[0006] In this embodiment, the end of the upper connector away from the lower connector is provided with an internal thread structure; the end of the lower connector away from the upper connector is provided with an external thread structure.

[0007] In this embodiment, the end of the upper connector away from the lower connector is connected to an input water source; the end of the lower connector away from the upper connector is connected to the drill rod.

[0008] In this embodiment, the water-conducting component includes: a connecting portion connected to the upper connecting portion; a body connected to the connecting portion; the body is provided with a first water-conducting pipe and a second water-conducting pipe; through holes are provided in the axial direction of the connecting portion and the body, so that the first water-conducting pipe and the second water-conducting pipe are respectively connected to the main water-conducting pipe; the lower connecting portion is sleeved on the outside of the body; and a blocking portion connected to the body; the lower connecting portion slides along the axial direction of the body, and both ends are blocked by the upper connecting portion and the blocking portion respectively, so as to prevent the lower connecting portion from sliding out of the body.

[0009] In this embodiment, the first water pipe and the second water pipe each include a plurality of connecting holes arranged along the radial direction of the body.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the connecting portion is threadedly connected to the upper connector.

[0011] In this embodiment, the connecting part is provided with an external thread structure, and the connection between the upper connector and the connecting part is provided with an internal thread structure.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the body is a non-cylindrical structure to prevent the water-passing component from rotating with the upper connector.

[0013] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the body is hexahedral.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the drill pipe joint of this utility model has the following advantages: by setting a first water pipe and a second water pipe on the water supply component, the drill bit can be cooled and the outer wall of the drill pipe can be flushed. When the drill bit is lowered, the lower connector is close to the upper connector. At this time, the first water pipe is opened and connected to the main water pipe, while the second water pipe is closed. At this time, high-pressure flushing fluid flows from the drill pipe to cool the drill bit. When the drill bit is raised, the lower connector is away from the upper connector. The first water pipe is closed, while the second water pipe is opened and connected to the main water pipe. At this time, high-pressure flushing fluid flows out from the outer wall of the drill pipe and stops flushing the rock core. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the upper connector according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2As shown, the upper connector 100 has a through hole 101 along its axial direction, which is configured as the main water supply pipe. Both ends of the upper connector are provided with internal thread structures (102, 103). The internal thread structure 102 is connected to an input water source (such as a water pump, not shown in the figure), which is used to transport high-pressure flushing fluid. The internal thread structure 103 is connected to the water supply component 200.

[0025] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a water-passing component according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the water supply component 200 includes: a connecting part 201 connected to the upper connecting part 100; a body 202 connected to the connecting part 201; a first water supply pipe and a second water supply pipe are provided on the body 202; through holes are provided in the axial direction of the connecting part 201 and the body 202 so that the first water supply pipe and the second water supply pipe are respectively connected to the main water supply pipe; a lower connecting part 300 is sleeved on the outside of the body 202; a blocking part 203 connected to the body 202; the lower connecting part 300 slides along the axial direction of the body 202, and both ends are blocked by the upper connecting part 100 and the blocking part 203 respectively to prevent the lower connecting part 300 from sliding out of the body 202.

[0026] In one specific embodiment of this application, the connecting part 201 is provided with an external thread structure, which is connected to the internal thread structure 103 of the upper connector 100.

[0027] In one specific embodiment of this application, the first water pipe and the second water pipe each include a plurality of connecting holes arranged radially along the body 202.

[0028] Specifically, the first water supply pipe consists of several connecting holes 204 near the blocking part 203; the second water supply pipe consists of several connecting holes 205 away from the blocking part 203.

[0029] In one specific embodiment of this application, in order to prevent the water-conducting component 200 from rotating with the upper connector 100, the body 202 is configured as a non-cylindrical structure; preferably, the cross-section of the body 202 is hexahedral.

At this time, high-pressure flushing fluid flows into the drill pipe to cool the drill bit. When the drill bit is lifted, refer to... Figure 1 When the lower connector 300 is moved away from the upper connector 100, the first water pipe is closed, and at the same time the second water pipe is opened and connected to the main water pipe, the high-pressure flushing fluid flows out from the outer wall of the drill pipe and no longer flushes the rock core.
