Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of underground drilling measurement instruments in coal mines, and relates to a multi-functional directional detection equipment for cableless drilling based on gravity. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most methods for detecting directional structures and low-resistivity hazards along coal seams in underground coal mines involve omnidirectional drilling within the coal seam. This method has the drawback of not being able to detect directional structures and low-resistivity hazards along the coal seam, and there is significant ambiguity in the post-processing of data measured by the borehole probe and in the accurate detection of directional structures and low-resistivity hazards. This invention addresses these shortcomings by employing a gravity-eccentric measurement probe design. The probe contains both a directional structure measurement module and a low-resistivity hazard detection module, and rolling bearings at both ends allow for unimpeded rotation. Therefore, during drilling-while-drilling directional structure measurement and low-resistivity hazard detection around the borehole in underground coal mines, the gravity-eccentric measurement probe remains in the vertical direction at all times, ultimately achieving the goal of directional structure measurement and low-resistivity hazard detection around the entire borehole. Furthermore, the multi-functional directional detection equipment for cableless drilling under gravity based on the present invention is applicable to both actual underground coal mine drilling and secondary re-measurement operations, thus broadening the application scope of the present invention in underground coal mines.

[0036] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.
[0037] In this disclosure, "axial direction" refers to the axial direction in which the intermediate shaft assembly or the two-shaft assembly is located. In this disclosure, "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" refer to the orientation shown in the figure. "Top", "bottom" and "side" refer to the top, bottom and perimeter of the figure, respectively. Unless otherwise specified, the above provisions apply to all contents of this disclosure.
[0038] This invention improves upon the shortcomings of existing measurement methods. The cableless, multi-functional directional drilling detection equipment based on gravity utilizes a spiral non-magnetic drill rod, optimized into a spiral shape to facilitate the removal of cuttings and slag during downhole drilling. The rubber injection-molded integrated component is optimized into a four-wing structure to enhance the stability and durability of the measuring probe within the spiral non-magnetic drill rod. The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, further illustrates this improvement.
[0039] Combination Figure 1-8 This utility model discloses a multi-functional directional drilling equipment based on gravity-based cableless drilling. It includes a spiral non-magnetic drill rod 1, within which a first end support assembly 3, a gravity eccentricity measuring assembly 2, and a second end support assembly 4 are sequentially arranged axially. The first end support assembly 3 and the second end support assembly 4 jointly support the gravity eccentricity measuring assembly 2 for 360° axial free rotation. Under the influence of gravity eccentricity, the measuring direction of the gravity eccentricity measuring assembly 2 is always on the vertical gravity line of the coal seam to be measured. The first end support assembly 3 is equipped with a first shock-absorbing plug 34, with a first bearing 32 and a first bearing outer sleeve 33 fitted at the outer end of the first shock-absorbing plug 34, and a first shock-absorbing bracket 31 installed outside the first bearing outer sleeve 33. The second end support assembly 4 is equipped with a second shock-absorbing plug 43, with a second bearing 42 and a second bearing outer sleeve 44 fitted at the outer end of the second shock-absorbing plug 43, and a second shock-absorbing bracket 41 installed outside the second bearing outer sleeve 44. Because the gravity eccentric measurement component 2 installed inside the spiral non-magnetic drill rod 1 is designed with gravity eccentricity, this equipment can always keep the measuring probe in the vertical direction when measuring the surrounding structure of the borehole and detecting low-resistivity hazards around the borehole in underground coal mines. Ultimately, the entire equipment can achieve the purpose of directional detection during the drilling process. It has excellent seismic resistance and water leakage prevention performance. Moreover, the installation process is simple, the seismic performance is high, and the circuit connection and measurement data are more stable and reliable.
[0040] In the embodiments disclosed herein, one end of the first shock-absorbing plug 34 is a solid, tapered piece, with a first bearing 32 fitted over it; the other end of the first shock-absorbing plug 34 is a tubular structure, and is embedded in the end of the gravity eccentricity measuring component 2 for sealing connection. More specifically, the first shock-absorbing bracket 31 consists of multiple protruding blocks spaced circumferentially, and both it and the first bearing outer sleeve 33 are integrally injection molded from rubber; the maximum outer diameter of the first shock-absorbing bracket 31 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the first shock-absorbing plug 34, and the protruding blocks extend axially and are evenly arranged in four pieces, providing more uniform shock-absorbing support in the circumferential direction. The first bearing 32, the first shock-absorbing plug 34, and the molded part are all formed by an internal and external tight fit, forming a single first end support component 3. This effectively reduces vibration during drilling vibration of the measuring probe.
[0041] In the embodiments disclosed herein, one end of the second damping plug 43 is a solid, tapered piece, with a second bearing 42 fitted over it; the other end of the second damping plug 43 is a tubular structure, fitted and sealed to the end of the gravity eccentricity measuring assembly 2; the second damping bracket 41 consists of multiple circumferentially spaced protrusions, both integrally injection molded with rubber as the second bearing sleeve 44; the maximum outer diameter of the second damping bracket 41 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the second damping plug, and the protrusions extend axially and are evenly arranged in four sections, providing more uniform circumferential damping support. This effectively dampens the measuring probe during drilling vibrations.
[0042] The first bearing 32 and the second bearing 42 are preferably 61804 deep groove ball bearings. The structure of the first damping plug 34 is basically the same as that of the second damping plug 43, except that the structure is adapted to the axial mounting end of the specific gravity eccentricity measuring component 2.
[0043] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the gravity eccentric measurement component 2 is provided with a gravity eccentric tube 21, and an eccentric block 211 is provided along the outer edge of the gravity eccentric tube 21, which extends axially and is radially thickened; the thickness of the eccentric block 211 is 3 to 7 mm, preferably 5 mm; in order to ensure that the measuring probe can always detect the top and bottom plates of the coal seam during the drilling process.
[0044] In the embodiments of this disclosure, a module mounting frame 22 is also provided inside the gravity eccentric tube 21. The module mounting frame 22 has at least a semi-open module mounting position 222 along the axial direction, and a tubular module mounting cavity 223 is also provided in axial communication with the module mounting position 222. For example, a mounting head 221 is also provided at the end of the module mounting position 222 of the module mounting frame 22 for fixing the module mounting frame 22 to the second shock-absorbing plug 43 on the second end support assembly 4. The module mounting position 222 is used to install the first measurement module 23. The module mounting cavity 223 is used to place the second measurement module 24, the third measurement module 26 and the battery 27. All the modules involved in the detection are firmly installed in the module mounting frame 22, which is not only structurally stable, but also compact and has good space utilization, which is conducive to downhole data collection.
[0045] In the embodiments disclosed herein, it is preferable that a shock absorber 25 may also be fitted over the third measurement module 26. The shock absorber 25 is a tubular component with multiple buffer slots arranged axially on the pipe wall, which is beneficial for shock absorption and buffering of the data collection module.
[0046] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the third measurement module 26 is a cylindrical block with a connector 261 at one end and a positioning groove 262 carved along the axial direction on its outer wall. The second measurement module 24 and the third measurement module 26 have basically the same structure, both being embedded in the module mounting frame 22 using a plug-in structure, and cooperating with the structure on the module mounting frame 22 through the positioning groove 262 to achieve positioning and restrictive installation. For example, the third measurement module 26 is a structural detection module, and the second measurement module 24 is a low-resistivity hazard detection module.
[0047] In the embodiments of this disclosure, a spiral annular groove 11 is excavated on the outer wall of the spiral non-magnetic drill rod 1, and positioning brackets 5 are respectively embedded in the ends of the spiral non-magnetic drill rod 1; the wall thickness between the positioning brackets 5 is greater than the wall thickness at the ends. Specifically, a positioning bracket mounting position is provided on the inner wall of the spiral non-magnetic drill rod 1 for mounting the positioning brackets 5 along the vertical axis; the positioning bracket 5 is a disc-shaped bracket with a bracket mounting hole 51 at its center, and multiple buffer cavities 52 are provided around the bracket mounting hole 51.
[0048] This utility model relates to a gravity-based, storage-type top and bottom plate directional detection equipment. It employs rolling bearings at both ends of the gravity-eccentric measuring probe for unobstructed rotation. Therefore, during drilling around coal mines for structural detection and low-resistivity hazard directional detection, the gravity-eccentric measuring probe remains vertically aligned, ultimately enabling comprehensive borehole structural and low-resistivity hazard directional detection. This utility model also provides a complete set of cableless, multi-functional directional detection equipment based on gravity, exhibiting superior seismic resistance and water leakage prevention. Furthermore, it features simple installation, high seismic resistance, and more stable and reliable circuit connections and measurement data.
