Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the portions related to the invention are shown in the drawings.
It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other. The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in connection with embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a downhole drilling tool with axial thrust, comprising:
a housing assembly 1, wherein an installation space is formed inside the housing assembly 1;
a screw assembly 2, wherein the screw assembly 2 is arranged in the installation space, and one end of the screw assembly extends out of the shell assembly 1;
The drill bit is fixedly arranged at one end of the screw rod assembly 2 extending out of the shell assembly 1;
A driving device 3, wherein the driving device 3 is arranged in the installation space and comprises a stator 4 and a rotor 5; the stator 4 is fixedly connected with the shell assembly 1; the rotor 5 is fixedly connected with the screw assembly 2; the driving device 3 is used for driving the screw rod assembly 2 and the drill bit to rotate relative to the shell assembly 1 under the action of high-pressure liquid filling;
A thrust assembly 6, wherein the thrust assembly 6 is arranged in the installation space, and one end of the thrust assembly is connected with the rotor 5; when the high-pressure liquid in the installation space passes through the thrust assembly 6, axial thrust is provided for the thrust assembly 6, and the driving device 3 is filled; the thrust assembly 6 transmits axial thrust through the rotor 5 to the screw assembly 2 and the drill bit.
Specifically, during use, high pressure liquid is continuously injected into the installation space in the housing assembly 1. The high-pressure liquid is slurry liquid, the flow rate is 2500 to 4500lmp (liter per minute), and the pressure consumption is 12 to 18MPa (megapascals); passes through the thrust assembly 6 and then enters the driving device 3.
Since the section of the thrust assembly 6 remote from the side where the high pressure liquid is injected is not completely immersed by the high pressure liquid. The middle part of the thrust component 6 is connected with the screw component 2, and one end of the screw component 2 far away from the thrust component 6 is connected with a drill bit; in the use process, the drill bit is not completely immersed in the liquid, but is positioned on the rock surface, which is equivalent to that the section of the thrust component 6 is not completely immersed by the liquid, so that the hydraulic pressures on two sides of the thrust component 6 are unbalanced; this causes the thrust assembly 6 to generate an axial thrust.
The high-pressure liquid enters the driving device 3 after passing through the thrust component 6, and drives the rotor 5 to rotate through the liquid pressure, so that the screw rod component 2 is driven to rotate.
Referring to fig. 3 and 7, the stator 4 of the driving device 3 has a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions spirally extending along the inner wall inside, and the rotor 5 has a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions spirally extending along the outer wall. The number of the arc-shaped protrusions in the stator 4 is more than that of the arc-shaped protrusions of the rotor 5. So that a gap is formed between the two after the two are meshed with each other; after the gap is filled with high-pressure liquid, the liquid can be simultaneously contacted with the surfaces of the arc-shaped bulges at the two sides, and an acting force is applied to drive the rotor 5 to roll along the inner side wall of the stator 4, so that the screw assembly 2 rotates.
In particular, this way, when breaking rock, additional axial thrust is provided to the drill bit, acting on the rock. And the reaction force provided by the rock to the drill bit during grinding can drive the screw assembly 2 and the drill bit to rebound upwards. While the axial thrust provided by the thrust assembly 6 will drive the screw assembly 2 and the drill bit downward.
Therefore, vibration can be generated in the rock grinding process of the drill bit, and the rock breaking efficiency is improved; at the same time, the drill bit is rebounded and suspended, so that the driving device 3 drives the screw rod assembly 2 and the drill bit to restore the rotating speed, and the grinding efficiency is ensured.
Further, referring to fig. 2, the thrust assembly 6 includes:
a first universal shaft 7, wherein the first universal shaft 7 is arranged in the installation space, and one end of the first universal shaft 7 is connected with the rotor 5;
The connector 8 is rotatably arranged in the installation space and is connected with the other end of the first universal shaft 7; the high-pressure liquid acts on the surface of the connector 8 to generate axial thrust.
Further, the connector 8 is provided with an overflow hole 9 for the high-pressure liquid to pass through.
Further, referring to fig. 6, the circumferential side wall of the connecting head 8 has a first wear-resistant layer 19 thereon; a second wear layer 20 is provided on the inner side wall of the housing assembly 1;
the first wear layer 19 and the second wear layer 20 are abutted against each other for sliding relatively when the connector 8 and the housing assembly 1 rotate relatively.
Specifically, the connector 8 is rotatably installed in the installation space, and in order to ensure the stability of rotation of the connector 8, it is necessary that the connector 8 is rotated with a fixed axis. The screw assembly 2 will roll with the rotor 5 and it is necessary to convert the roll into a rotation of the joint head 8.
In this embodiment, a first cardan shaft 7 is connected between the rotor 5 and the coupling head 8 to convert the rolling motion of the rotor 5 into rotation.
The plurality of the overflow holes 9 are arranged so that the flow rate of the high-pressure liquid is enough to drive the driving device 3 to drive the screw assembly 2 to rotate.
In this embodiment, referring to fig. 8, the cross section of the connector 8 includes an edge portion and a middle portion.
The opening position of the overflow hole 9 is positioned at the edge part of the section of the connector 8. After passing through the flow hole 9, the high-pressure liquid fills the space at the other side of the connector 8; this situation will only hydraulically balance the two sides of the edge portion of the joint 8; since the intermediate section is connected to the screw assembly 2, the hydraulic pressure difference of the intermediate section is not affected.
Therefore, the opening positions and the opening number of the overflow holes 9 do not affect the middle part of the cross section of the connector 8, and the thrust assembly 6 is not affected to provide thrust.
In particular, since in the present embodiment, the screw assembly 2 and the connection head 8 need not only rotate with the rotor 5 but also possibly move in the axial direction; if a common material is used, the wear of the connector 8 and the housing assembly 1 will be significantly increased.
Therefore, the side wall of the connector 8 and the corresponding position of the housing assembly 1 in the embodiment are provided with wear-resistant layers, so that the connector 8 can adapt to the situation, and the connector is ensured to have longer service life.
Further, referring to fig. 4, the screw assembly 2 includes:
A transmission shaft lever 10, wherein the transmission shaft lever 10 is arranged in the installation space, and one end of the transmission shaft lever extends out of the shell component 1; the drill bit is fixedly connected with the transmission shaft lever 10;
the second universal shaft 11, the second universal shaft 11 is arranged in the installation space, one end of the second universal shaft is connected with the transmission shaft lever 10, and the other end of the second universal shaft is connected with the rotor 5.
Specifically, one end of the second universal shaft 11 is connected to the rotor 5 through a connecting shaft 12.
Because the drill bit is required to rotate on a fixed axis during rock breaking; further, as the rotor 5 rolls in the stator 4, the screw assembly 2 is driven to rotate finally; it is necessary to convert the rolling motion of the rotor 5 into rotation of the drill bit.
In this embodiment, the screw assembly 2 is divided into a drive shaft 10 and a second cardan shaft 11. The end of the second cardan shaft 11 connected to the rotor 5 rolls with the rotor 5, the second cardan shaft 11 being able to convert the rolling motion into a rotation of the transmission shaft 10.
Further, referring to fig. 5, further comprising:
a bearing assembly 13, the bearing assembly 13 comprising an inner race 14 and an outer race 15 rotatable relative to each other; the outer ring 15 is fixedly connected with the housing assembly 1, and the inner ring 14 is fixedly connected with the transmission shaft lever 10.
Further, the bearing assembly 13 further comprises balls 16;
The outer surface of the inner ring 14 is provided with a first annular groove 17; a second annular groove 18 is formed in the inner surface of the outer ring 15; the balls 16 are arranged between the first annular groove 17 and the second annular groove 18.
Further, the width of the first annular groove 17 and/or the second annular groove 18 is larger than the diameter of the balls 16, so that the inner ring 14 can move relative to the outer ring 15 in the axial direction, and the housing assembly 1 and the screw assembly 2 can move relative to each other in the axial direction.
Specifically, to maintain stability of the rotation of the drive shaft 10 and the drill bit, a bearing assembly 13 is mounted between the housing assembly 1 and the drive shaft 10.
Since the screw assembly 2 of the present invention will produce axial movement, the inner race 14 of the bearing assembly 13 needs to be axially movable relative to the outer race 15. Thus, the inner ring 14 and the outer ring 15 of the present embodiment are each provided with an annular groove, and the annular grooves are made wider than the balls 16.
This arrangement allows a small amount of axial misalignment between the inner race 14 and the outer race 15 while ensuring that the balls 16 are in the annular grooves therebetween for continued rotation.
Due to the bearing having such a structure, when the drill bit is vibrated by the combined action of the axial thrust and the reaction force of the rock, the screw assembly 2 is axially displaced by a small amount while maintaining stable rotation.
The above description is only illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and of the principles of the technology employed. It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the scope of the invention referred to in the present invention is not limited to the specific combinations of the technical features described above, but also covers other technical features formed by any combination of the technical features described above or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept.
