Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of emergency rescue equipment, specifically to a combined rock-breaking drill for emergency rescue. Background Technology
[0002] Following major disasters such as earthquakes, mine accidents, landslides, and tunnel collapses, the rapid and precise drilling of life-detection holes or rescue passages is crucial for saving lives. Rescue passage holes are typically 800mm in diameter; however, the geological structure of the collapse bodies formed at disaster sites is extremely complex, usually composed of a mixture of loose debris, concrete blocks, reinforcing steel, soil, and large boulders and hard rock layers. Under the critical 72-hour window for rescue operations, this heterogeneous, unstable, and complex environment places extremely demanding requirements on the drilling equipment.
[0003] Currently, commonly used drilling tools in the field of emergency rescue mainly include rotary cutting drills, impact crushing drills, and the rotating cutterhead of tunnel boring machines for rock breaking. For example... Figure 1 As shown, conventional PDC drill bits and ball-tooth drill bits are designed for homogeneous rock formations. When encountering large boulders or high-strength concrete blocks, PDC cutting teeth are prone to chipping or excessive wear, while impact drill bits may break due to stress concentration caused by their monolithic structure. Furthermore, for loosely structured and unstable collapsing bodies, the small annular gap between the outer wall and the borehole wall of traditional drills during drilling makes them easily filled with debris, fluid soil, or small stones, generating significant frictional resistance and encapsulation forces, leading to "stuck" or "locked-in" drill bits. To enhance chip removal capabilities, the chip space of the drill bit is usually increased, but this often weakens the drill bit's strength and torsional resistance; conversely, to enhance borehole stability and prevent collapse, the gap between the drill bit and the borehole wall needs to be reduced, which in turn exacerbates the risk of stuck drill bits. Current technologies struggle to achieve a good balance between efficient chip removal and reliable anti-sticking. As shown in Figure 1, in traditional drilling rigs, excavated soil is discharged along the gap between the outer walls of borehole 101 and drill rod 102 during construction. In actual construction, this discharge can cause borehole enlargement, and horizontal drilling can easily lead to hole deviation, borehole collapse, and drill bit jamming, making further construction impossible. Furthermore, during construction in soft, collapsed building complexes, encountering boulders and reinforcing steel can cause the drill bit to slip, preventing further drilling. The inability to cut the reinforcing steel also hinders drilling progress.
[0004] As shown in Figure 2, Figure 3As shown, the cutterhead structure combines a disc cutter and a PDC (Power Distribution Center). During cutterhead rotation, the PDC cutters mounted on the cutterhead cutterhead are driven by a hydraulic cylinder to cut, while simultaneously the disc cutter on the cutterhead presses firmly against the rock surface. As the cutterhead rotates, the disc cutter rotates both around the central axis of the cutterhead and on its own axis. Under the thrust and torque of the cutterhead, the disc cutter cuts a series of concentric circular grooves on the working face. When the thrust exceeds the rock strength, the rock under the disc cutter tip is directly crushed, with the cutter tip penetrating the rock to form a crushing zone and radial cracks. With further pressure, when the cutter spacing S meets certain conditions, the cracks in the rock between adjacent cutters extend and intersect, forming rock fragments that collapse, thus completing one rock-breaking process. This type of cutterhead can still achieve rapid hole drilling even when encountering reinforcing steel bars.
[0005] From such Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 As shown in the rock-breaking drill, after the drill creates a rescue hole, the cutting tool blocks the front end of the created rescue hole, isolating the accident point and blocking the rescue passage. Therefore, it must be removed. The removal is done as a whole with the removal of the drill propulsion device. Since the rapid rescue passage is usually a hole with a diameter of 800mm, removal will cause the rescue passage created in the collapsed loose body to collapse, causing a new disaster. Utility Model Content
[0006] The present invention aims to provide a combined rock-breaking drill for emergency rescue, so as to achieve the dual effects of chip removal and anti-jamming.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a combined rock-breaking drill for emergency rescue, comprising an impactor, an impact drill bit, a slag discharge shaft, and an outer channel pipe extending along the axial direction. Multiple outer and inner disc-shaped cutters are evenly distributed radially at the front end of the outer channel pipe. The impactor is fixedly connected inside the slag discharge pipe, and the impact drill bit is fixedly connected to the front end of the impactor. The impact drill bit and the impactor are mounted inside the outer channel pipe with the support of the slag discharge shaft. A high-pressure water jet cutting head is also installed at the front end of the outer channel pipe.
[0008] The principle and advantages of this scheme are as follows: In the process of rapidly constructing emergency rescue boreholes, this type of emergency rescue drilling tool uses an impact drill bit in the middle to break rocks, resulting in strong overall rock-breaking ability and fast drilling speed; the periphery uses disc cutters to grind and break rocks, improving the drill bit's adaptability to geological environments; and high-pressure water cutting heads are used between the disc cutters to break rocks and cut reinforcing steel and other skeleton materials. Through this combination of rock-breaking methods, the adaptability to complex environments during the formation of rescue holes is improved, the drilling efficiency is increased, and the rescue time is shortened.
[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the outer channel pipe consists of a front connector, a drive female connector, a connecting inner pipe, and a connecting outer pipe. The connecting inner pipe and the connecting outer pipe are coaxial and their ends are fixedly connected to the front connector and the drive female connector, respectively. The outer disc-shaped cutter, the inner disc-shaped cutter, and the high-pressure water jet cutting head are all mounted on the front connector. The split structure facilitates manufacturing, transportation, and rapid on-site assembly and replacement, making it particularly suitable for the time-sensitive requirements of emergency rescue. The connecting inner pipe and the connecting outer pipe form a stable annular channel, providing a reliable path for high-pressure fluid transportation.
[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, both the inner and outer walls of the front connector and the drive female connector at opposite ends are provided with constricted notches, and the two ends of the connecting inner tube and the connecting outer tube are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding constricted notches. The constricted notch design forms a positioning step, making the docking and installation of the connecting inner tube and the connecting outer tube more convenient and accurate, ensuring the coaxiality of the inner and outer tubes, thereby ensuring the stability and dynamic balance performance of the overall drill bit structure. At the same time, this plug-in mating structure increases the welding or connection area, significantly enhancing the strength and sealing reliability of the connection node, and can withstand the huge torque and vibration during drilling.
[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, both the front connector and the drive female connector are provided with jet channels, and a high-pressure jet pipe communicating with the jet channels at both ends is provided between the inner connecting pipe and the outer connecting pipe. The high-pressure jet pipe and the jet channels constitute a jet pipeline. Placing the high-pressure jet pipe in the annular space between the inner and outer connecting pipes avoids the risk of entanglement and damage to the external pipelines, ensuring that high-pressure water can be safely and efficiently delivered from the rear end of the drilling rig to the front end of the hydraulic cutting head, providing continuous power for hydraulic cutting.
[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the end of the drive female connector away from the front connector is provided with an annular groove communicating with the jet channel. The design of the annular groove allows high-pressure fluid to be injected into the jet channel from the circumference through devices such as rotary joints, simplifying the connection interface between the drill bit and the external high-pressure pumping system, and realizing rapid docking and sealed fluid supply under continuous rotation.
[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, a back pressure valve is also installed on the front connector, and the back pressure valve is connected to the jet channel on the front connector. During the high-pressure water flow rock breaking process, in the low-pressure state, the high-pressure water flows out from the back pressure valve to cool and discharge slag; in the high-pressure state, the high-pressure water flow pushes the back pressure valve to close, and the high-pressure water flow is sprayed out from the high-pressure water cutting head to break the rock.
[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the front connector is provided with multiple disc-shaped hob shafts, and multiple outer and inner disc-shaped hobs are connected to corresponding disc-shaped hob shafts. By setting disc-shaped hob shafts to install the outer and inner disc-shaped hobs, each outer and inner disc-shaped hob can rotate independently and flexibly around the disc-shaped hob shaft, minimizing sliding friction and reducing working resistance and wear.
[0015] Preferably, as an improvement, the slag discharge shaft includes a slag discharge pipe and helical blades fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slag discharge pipe, with the helical blades fitting against the inner wall of the outer channel pipe. The rotating helical blades can generate a strong axial conveying force, continuously and rapidly pushing the debris and slag generated from rock breaking towards the rear of the drill pipe. This effectively solves the problems of poor slag discharge, slag clogging the drill bit, and high frictional resistance that easily occur in loose, fluid-plastic formations.
[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, the impactor is fixedly connected inside the slag discharge pipe, with the outer mating surface of the impactor tightly fitted to the inner mating surface of the slag discharge pipe. By embedding the impactor inside and tightly fitting it into the slag discharge pipe, the slag discharge pipe simultaneously serves as a protective sleeve and a torque transmission shaft.
[0017] Preferably, as an improvement, the rear end of the impactor is provided with a threaded joint. This facilitates the quick installation and disassembly of the drill string and efficiently transmits the drilling rig's thrust and rotational torque to the entire front end of the drill string, ensuring the effective transmission of impact energy and tunneling force.
