[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] A stepped reverse circulation impact hammer suitable for drilling ultra-deep bridge piles on water platforms includes a gravity cylinder 10. The gravity cylinder 10 has a hollow cavity 13 through which a slag discharge pipe passes and runs vertically through the cylinder. The hollow cavity 13 runs vertically through the gravity cylinder 10. Multiple annular gravity rings 30 are formed at the lower part of the gravity cylinder 10. The diameters of the multiple annular gravity rings 30 decrease from large to small. They are arranged in a stepped manner from top to bottom along the gravity cylinder 10. The multiple annular gravity rings 30 are arranged sequentially at intervals and nested sequentially at intervals. Multiple hammer teeth 31 are provided at the bottom of the annular gravity rings 30.

[0027] The aforementioned stepped reverse circulation impact hammer, suitable for drilling ultra-deep bridge piles on water platforms, is driven by a drilling rig to drill in pile holes with steel casings. The reverse circulation impact hammer drills into the rock or strata in the pile hole through multiple annular gravity rings 30. The annular gravity rings 30 use multiple hammer teeth 31 to drill in a stepped manner, which is used for multi-level cutting of strata, improving the counterweight of the impact hammer, increasing the impact force, and increasing the drilling efficiency. It also adopts an air-lift reverse circulation structure to remove slag through a slag discharge pipe in the cavity, so as to improve the drilling efficiency and solve the problem of low drilling efficiency in the drilling process of ultra-deep bridge piles.

[0028] A slag discharge pipe is connected to the gravity cylinder 10. The slag discharge pipe passes through the hollow cavity 13. The bottom of the slag discharge pipe has a slag discharge inlet, and the top of the slag discharge pipe has a slag discharge outlet. A vent pipe is installed in the slag discharge pipe. The outer end of the vent pipe extends to the outside of the slag discharge pipe and is connected to the air compressor. The inner end of the vent pipe is placed in the slag discharge pipe and has an air outlet.

[0029] During the impact drilling process of the impact hammer in the steel casing, the air compressor injects high-pressure gas into the pile hole through the air pipe. The high-pressure gas impacts the bottom of the pile hole, and the mud in the pile hole carries the slag and is discharged from the pile hole from bottom to top through the slag discharge pipe.

[0030] In this embodiment, a through-hole area 33 is formed between adjacent annular gravity rings 30. This facilitates the reduction of obstruction to the impact hammer by rock fragments through the through-hole area 33, thereby increasing the drilling efficiency of the impact hammer.

[0031] In this embodiment, multiple connecting strips 32 are provided between adjacent annular gravity rings 30. The connecting strips 32 are arranged at an angle, and the two ends of the connecting strips 32 are respectively connected to two adjacent annular gravity rings 30. The multiple connecting strips 32 are arranged around the annular gravity rings 30 at intervals in the circumference, and a hollow area 33 is formed between adjacent connecting strips 32.

[0032] The design of the inclined connecting strip 32 and the hollow area 33 enhances the stability and slag discharge capacity of the impact hammer; the connecting strip 32 can also enhance the connection between adjacent annular gravity rings 30.

[0033] In this embodiment, a plurality of triangular gravity plates 20 are provided on the outer periphery of the gravity cylinder 10. The plurality of triangular gravity plates 20 are arranged vertically around the outer periphery of the gravity cylinder 10 at intervals. The annular gravity ring 30 is connected to the gravity cylinder 10 through the triangular gravity plates 20. The plurality of annular gravity rings 30 are fixedly connected along the direction from the middle part of the triangular gravity plate 20 to the bottom of the triangular gravity plate 20.

[0034] The triangular gravity plate 20 increases the counterweight of the gravity cylinder 10, thereby increasing the impact force of the impact hammer. The triangular gravity plate 20 can also be used to connect and fix multiple annular gravity rings 30.

[0035] In this embodiment, a hanging plate 21 is provided on the triangular gravity plate 20, and multiple hanging plates 21 are connected through a retrieval ring 40. The retrieval ring 40 is arranged around the circumference of the gravity cylinder 10, and the retrieval ring 40 is spaced apart from the outer wall of the gravity cylinder 10.

[0036] The hanging plate 21 is used to guide the retrieval ring 40, which facilitates retrieval when the impact hammer falls; the retrieval ring 40 can be made by winding multiple steel wire ropes together.

[0037] In this embodiment, the retrieval ring 40 is located above the annular gravity ring 30, and the retrieval ring 40 and the annular gravity ring 30 are arranged vertically. This facilitates retrieval when the impact hammer falls and prevents the annular gravity ring 30 from obstructing the retrieval process.

[0038] In this embodiment, a plurality of fixed impact teeth 11 are welded to the bottom of the gravity cylinder 10, and the plurality of fixed impact teeth 11 are arranged at intervals around the bottom of the gravity cylinder 10. In this way, the gravity cylinder 10 can be driven into the pile hole with steel casing by the plurality of fixed impact teeth 11, thereby increasing the counterweight of the impact hammer, increasing the impact force, and increasing the drilling efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, a double-hole hanging plate 12 is welded to the top of the gravity cylinder 10.

[0040] The double-hole lifting plate 12 is used to connect two steel wire ropes on the winch of the drilling rig. The two steel wire ropes synchronously pull the reverse circulation impact hammer, so that the reverse circulation impact hammer always maintains balance during the drilling process. In this way, the impact hammer can achieve the synergistic effect of circumferential directional impact, active multi-directional impact and radial directional impact during the drilling process. This not only improves the drilling speed, but also ensures the verticality and overall quality of the pile hole, thereby achieving efficient and precise drilling operations under complex geological conditions.

[0041] In this embodiment, after drilling, a wall brush 50 is installed on the annular gravity ring 30, and the wall brush 50 is arranged around the circumference of the annular gravity ring 30.

[0042] The reverse circulation impact hammer is operated by the drilling rig moving up and down. The reverse circulation impact hammer uses the wall brush 50 to clean the inner wall of the steel casing, removing the mud attached to the inner wall of the steel casing, so that the steel casing can be recycled later.

[0043] In this embodiment, the wall brush 50 includes a fixing ring 51, which is arranged in a ring shape and is horizontally arranged along the radial direction of the annular gravity ring 30. The fixing ring 51 is provided with a plurality of flexible bristle bodies 52, which are arranged around the fixing ring 51 at intervals in the circumference. A stiffening plate 53 is protruding on the fixing ring 51, and the fixing ring 51 and the annular gravity ring 30 are connected by the stiffening plate 53.

[0044] The fixing ring 51 can be welded and fixed to the first annular gravity ring 30 on the upper part of the gravity cylinder 10 by the stiffening plate 53. The fixing ring 51 uses multiple flexible brushes 52 to brush away the mud attached to the inner wall of the steel casing. The brushes 52 can be made from the end of a steel wire rope, which not only has suitable rigidity to brush away the mud, but also has a certain degree of elastic deformation.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
