Horizontal-to-Vertical Drilling Module Guide Plate Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mechanical borehole wall coring tools face difficulties in designing guide plates for both hydraulic and electric motor-driven systems, as they require specific structures to perform coring, core breaking, turning, and core pushing operations, making the design complex and inconsistent.
Innovation Solution
A horizontal-to-vertical drilling module with a fixed plate, movable plate, coring module, and moving slider, featuring guide holes and driving sections that allow the moving column to slide and rotate, enabling coring, core breaking, and turning actions, while a core breaking resetting module ensures stability and continuous use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a specially designed guide plate is provided to guide the hydraulic motor or electric motor to carry out the coring operation, then the coring operation can be performed, but the design becomes difficult and the designed guide plates are substantially different from each other
Solution Approach 1:
The guide plate is designed with a universal structure that can accommodate both hydraulic motors and electric motors. The guide plate includes a motor mounting section with standardized mounting holes and connection interfaces that are compatible with different motor types, eliminating the need for separate specialized guide plates for each motor type.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide plate is divided into functional sections: a motor mounting section with standardized interfaces for different motor types, a reducer connection section, and a drill bit positioning section. This segmentation allows each section to be optimized independently while maintaining overall compatibility and simplifying the design process.
2Ease of operation
If the electric motor needs to rotate with the rotating pin to perform coring action, then the coring operation can be performed, but the design becomes difficult due to multiple required functions
Solution Approach 1:
The electric motor, rotating pin, and coring module are integrated into a unified structure where the motor's rotational output is directly transmitted to the rotating pin through a built-in transmission mechanism. This merging eliminates the need for separate components and simplifies the overall design while maintaining full coring operation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating pin is nested within the motor housing, and the coring module is nested within the rotating pin structure. This nested arrangement allows multiple functional elements to be compactly integrated, reducing design complexity while enabling the electric motor to rotate with the pin for coring action.
