AI Technical Summary
In extreme geological environments with high altitude, high burial depth, high stress, high water pressure, and large drop, directional coring drilling is difficult to obtain rock cores from the riverbed and opposite valley areas. Especially when it is difficult to relocate large equipment or to build an auxiliary platform, existing technologies are not effective for coring.
Design a flexible directional coring drill bit. By combining a directional drill bit, a reamer, a stabilizer, and multiple coring drill rods, and using the stabilizer as a pivot point, the directional drill bit can be tilted to change the drilling direction, achieving arc-shaped drilling, passing through the riverbed of a kilometer-long river and reaching the opposite valley. The coring drill rods of existing equipment specifications are used to improve strength and reduce the need for customized equipment.
This technology enables easy core sampling from the riverbed and opposite valley without the need for an auxiliary platform, improving drilling efficiency, reducing equipment production costs, enhancing the strength and tensile strength of the drill pipe, and preventing breakage.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0021] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0022] Embodiment 1
[0023] The present application is a flexible guide coring drill tool, which comprises a guide drill bit 1, a reamer 2, a stabilizer 4 and a plurality of coring drill rods 3. The guide drill bit 1 comprises a connecting part 11 and a cutting part 12 arranged at one end of the connecting part 11. The end of the connecting part 11 away from the cutting part 12 is provided with an internal thread, and the end of the reamer 2 is provided with an external thread and is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the connecting part 11. The end of one of the coring drill rods 3 is provided with an external thread and is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the reamer 2, and the remaining plurality of coring drill rods 3 are sequentially connected to the coring drill rod 3 connected to the reamer 2. The end of each coring drill rod 3 towards the guide drill bit 1 is provided with an external thread, and the end away from the guide drill bit 1 is provided with a threaded hole. The positioning between the adjacent two coring drill rods 3 is achieved in a threaded connection manner. The stabilizer 4 is installed on the coring drill rod 3 connected to the reamer 2.
[0024] The outer diameter of the reamer 2 is greater than the outer diameter of the cutting part 12. After the cutting part 12 completes the drilling, the reamer 2 can effectively remove the coal residue or other obstacles in the collapsed hole to avoid accidents such as sticking and burying of the drill, and can gradually expand the diameter of the hole during the drilling process to meet the specific engineering requirements.
[0025] The coring drill rod 3 is internally configured with a rope coring mechanism (not shown in the figure). The coring drill rod 3 in the borehole does not need to be lifted to the ground surface, but completes the coring process in the coring drill rod 3 by means of a professional rope fishing tool, thereby reducing the number of lifting and lowering of the drill tool, shortening the auxiliary time and improving the drilling efficiency.
[0026] The outer diameter of the stabilizer 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the cutting part 12, and the difference between the outer diameter of the coring drill rod 3 and the outer diameter of the cutting part 12 is greater than 15 mm. In the prior art, the diameter of the stabilizer 4 is usually as equal as possible to the diameter of the cutting part 12, which maximally restricts the lateral swing of the pilot drill bit 1 and makes it drill along the specified trajectory. In the embodiment, the direction of the pilot drill bit 1 needs to be changed during drilling, that is, the pilot drill bit 1 needs to be tilted downward in the initial state, and then the tilt angle of the pilot drill bit 1 needs to be changed so that the tilt angle between the drilling hole and the horizontal plane gradually decreases during drilling, so that the coring drill rod 3 can pass through the bottom of the riverbed of the kilometer-level river and reach the bottom of the opposite valley to achieve the purpose of coring the riverbed and the opposite valley. Therefore, in the embodiment, the outer diameter of the stabilizer 4 is reduced so that the stabilizer 4 can serve as a rotating fulcrum in the drilling hole, and the multiple coring drill rods 3 will move downward under the action of their own gravity and adhere to the inner wall of the drilling hole, so that the pilot drill bit 1 is tilted upward, and the tilt angle between the drilling hole and the horizontal plane gradually decreases during subsequent drilling to facilitate passing through the riverbed of the kilometer-level river.
[0027] In the prior art, the difference between the outer diameter of the pilot drill bit 1 and the outer diameter of the coring drill rod 3 is 10 mm, which ensures the reasonable matching between the pilot drill bit 1 and the coring drill rod 3, reduces equipment loss, and improves drilling efficiency. For example, if the outer diameter of the cutting part 12 of the pilot drill bit 1 is 99 mm, a drill rod with an outer diameter of 89 mm is usually configured, but in the embodiment, the outer diameter of the cutting part 12 of the pilot drill bit 1 is 99 mm, and a coring drill rod 3 with an outer diameter of 72 mm is selected, and the difference between the outer diameter of the cutting part 12 and the outer diameter of the coring drill rod 3 is 27 mm. By reducing the outer diameter of the coring drill rod 3, the difference between the outer diameter of the coring drill rod 3 and the outer diameter of the cutting part 12 is increased, so that the coring drill rod 3 has enough space in the drilling hole to tilt the pilot drill bit 1 upward, thereby achieving the predetermined drilling trajectory. Since the coring drill rod 3 of the geological coring equipment has a fixed specification, the coring drill rod 3 with an outer diameter of 72 mm can be used with the existing geological coring equipment without the need for custom production of new equipment, thereby reducing the production cost of the equipment.
[0028] In the prior art, the wall thickness of the coring drill rod 3 is 7.8 mm, and in the embodiment, the wall thickness of the coring drill rod 3 is greater than 7.8 mm, specifically 8.8 mm-9.3 mm, which increases the strength of the coring drill rod 3 to prevent it from breaking. At the same time, the length and pitch of the internal and external threads of the coring drill rod 3 are optimized accordingly to improve the overall strength of the multiple coring drill rods 3 after being combined, which increases the maximum torque and tensile strength compared to the existing ordinary coring drill rod 3, and makes the coring drill rod 3 less prone to breaking.
[0029] The outer diameter of the stabilizer 4 in the embodiment is 97 mm. Compared with the prior art in which the outer diameter of the stabilizer 4 is equal to the outer diameter of the pilot bit 1, the embodiment reduces the outer diameter of the stabilizer 4, so that the stabilizer 4 has a space for adaptive swing while serving as the rotation fulcrum of the whole structure of the coring drill string, thereby realizing the change of the drilling direction of the coring drill pipe 3.
[0030] The stabilizer 4 is slidingly installed on the coring drill pipe 3 and detachably connected with the coring drill pipe 3. In the embodiment, the stabilizer 4 is provided with connecting bolts 41, and the coring drill pipe 3 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes for inserting the connecting bolts 41. The stabilizer 4 is detachably installed on the coring drill pipe 3 by means of bolt connection, so that the position of the rotation fulcrum of the whole structure can be adjusted, thereby enabling the drilling direction of the pilot bit 1 to be adjusted according to the actual situation on site. In other embodiments, the stabilizer 4 can be installed on the coring drill pipe 3 by welding. When the position of the stabilizer 4 needs to be changed, the new coring drill pipe 3 and stabilizer 4 connected with the reamer 2 are replaced, and the welding position of the stabilizer 4 on the coring drill pipe 3 is changed.
[0031] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
