[0006] Furthermore, the first connector body, the first reinforcing rib, and the first connecting sleeve are integrally formed, and the first reinforcing ribs are arranged in a ring array with the first connector body as the center and are distributed in six groups.
[0007] Furthermore, the first combination holes are arranged in a ring array structure with the first connecting sleeve as the center and there are four groups of them, and the first docking holes are arranged in a ring array structure with the first connector body as the center and there are six groups of them.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the first combination hole, the first stabilizing bolt is threadedly connected to the first mating thread, and both the first connecting head component and the second connecting head component are made of titanium alloy.
[0009] Furthermore, the second connector component includes a second connector body, a second reinforcing rib, a second connecting sleeve, a second combined hole, a second mating thread, a second mating hole, and a support component.

[0013] This utility model provides an impact-resistant drill rod connector structure for drilling rigs, which has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. This utility model, by providing a first connecting head component and a second connecting head component, both made of titanium alloy, gives the first and second connecting head components high strength, low density, corrosion resistance, and excellent structural strength and impact resistance. This allows them to withstand significant impact forces and torques during drilling operations, ensuring the stability and safety of the drill pipe connection and effectively improving the structural stability and durability of the drill pipe connector. This meets the needs of drilling operations under complex geological conditions. Furthermore, the first and second connecting head components are connected by an embedded threaded connection structure of the first and second connecting sleeves, ensuring a tight fit between the connectors. In addition to ensuring stability, after the first and second connecting sleeves are tightened together, the fixing bolts are screwed into the first and second combination holes in sequence, thereby further enhancing the stability and safety of the first and second connecting head components. This effectively prevents potential risks such as drill rod detachment or breakage caused by loose connections. This design not only enhances the overall stability of the connecting head structure, allowing the drill rod to remain stable during rotation and advance, but also provides first and second reinforcing ribs on the outer surfaces of the first and second connecting head components, respectively. These ribs enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the connecting head components, making them more resistant to external impacts and pressures, and further improving the reliability and durability of the connecting head in complex working environments.
[0015] This invention features a first stabilizing bolt, a first mating thread, and a first mating hole, as well as a second stabilizing bolt, a second mating thread, and a second mating hole, each installed and configured at the other end of a first and second connecting head component. The first stabilizing bolt connects to the first mating hole via a threaded structure, and the second stabilizing bolt connects to the second mating hole via a threaded structure. This design not only provides additional fixing but also enhances the structural stability of the drill rod after connection. When the drill rod operates under complex geological conditions, these structural features ensure the durability and safety of the drill rod connection, effectively preventing accidents caused by unstable connections. Furthermore, the first and second mating holes facilitate the connection of the drill rod to other related equipment, further enhancing the flexibility and practicality of the entire drilling system. On the other hand, the first connecting head component and the second connecting head component... When the head components are joined, the support component is horizontally inserted into the interior of the first connector body, thereby providing further support and reinforcement between the first and second connector components, improving the overall rigidity and stability of the structure. The design of the support component ensures that the entire connector structure maintains good stability and durability during drilling operations, even in the face of complex geological conditions or strong impacts. This effectively prevents potential risks such as drill pipe detachment or breakage due to loosening or deformation. In addition, the support component helps to disperse and mitigate stress and vibration generated during drilling operations, further extending the service life of the drill pipe connector. Furthermore, the structure also considers ease of operation. The threaded connection of the fixing bolt, the first stabilizing bolt, and the second stabilizing bolt allows workers to install and disassemble quickly and accurately, greatly improving the efficiency of drilling operations.

Then, the first stabilizing bolt 4 is connected to the first mating hole 106 through the threaded structure, and the second stabilizing bolt 5 is connected to the second mating hole 206 through the threaded structure, thereby achieving a stable connection of the drill rod.
[0025] During use, since both the first connector component 1 and the second connector component 2 are made of titanium alloy, the connector structure has high strength, low density, corrosion resistance, and excellent structural strength and impact resistance. It can withstand significant impact force and torque, ensuring the stability and safety of the drill pipe connection.
