[0025] A pulse drilling device according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5. It should be understood that the following descriptions are only illustrative embodiments of the present application and do not constitute any special limitations to the present application.

[0026] In an embodiment, the present application provides a pulse drilling device, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 4. The pulse drilling device includes: a plurality of drill rods 100, a plurality of drill bits, a plurality of energy storage capacitors 300 and a plurality of discharge switches 400.

[0027] Each of the drill rods 100 is correspondingly connected with the energy storage capacitor 300. The energy storage capacitor 300 can charge the drill rod 100 connected thereto. The drill bit is connected to the drill rod 100, and the discharge switch 400 is connected to the drill rod 100 to control the drill rod 100 to discharge to the drill bit and break the rock. Moreover, the plurality of drill rods can be charged and discharged continuously and alternately.

[0028] Compared with the related art, the pulse drilling device is provided with the plurality of drill rods 100, and each of the drill rods 100 is correspondingly connected with the energy storage capacitor 300. The discharge switch 400 can control a charging state of each of the drill rods 100 correspondingly. When one of the drill rods 100 is in a discharging state, the other drill rods 100 are in a charging state. The drill rod 100 in the discharging state switches to the charging state after an electric energy is exhausted, and at the same time, the drill rod 100 in the fully charged state is continuously discharged. As a result, the plurality of drill rods 100 can be charged and discharged continuously and alternately, thereby greatly improving a drilling efficiency.

[0029] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the drill rod 100 includes a first drill rod 101, a second drill rod 102, a third drill rod 103 and a fourth drill rod 104. The first drill rod 101, the second drill rod 102, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104 are all correspondingly connected with the energy storage capacitors 300. Assuming that the discharge switch 400 firstly controls the first drill rod 101 to discharge to the drill bit to break the rock, then the second drill rod 102, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104 are all in the charging state. When the electric energy of the first drill rod 101 is exhausted, the discharge switch 400 can control any one of the second drill rod 102, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104 to discharge to the drill bit to break the rock. At the same time, the energy storage capacitor 300 charges the first drill rod 101. According to this regular cycle, the first drill rod 101, the second drill rod 102, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104 can realize continuous and alternate charging and discharging, thereby greatly improving the drilling efficiency.

[0030] It should be noted that the above embodiment is only an illustrative embodiment of the present application and does not constitute any limitation on the present application. The number of drill rods 100 can be determined according to actual needs.

[0031] In an embodiment, the drill bit includes an integrated drill bit 201, and each of the drill rods 100 is connected to the integrated drill bit 201.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the pulse drilling device includes the integrated drill bit 201. The plurality of drill rods 100 are connected to the integrated drill bit 201. Any drill rod 100 can be discharged to the integrated drill bit 201 to break rocks. The pulse drilling device equipped with the integrated drill bit 201 can realize continuous drilling work under a same energy condition as small diameters.

[0033] In an embodiment, the drill bit includes a plurality of split drill bits 202, and each of the drill rods 100 is connected with the split drill bit 202.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the pulse drilling device includes the plurality of split drill bits 202. A number of the split drill bits 202 is equal to a number of the drill rods 100. That is, each of the drill rods 100 is connected with the split drill bit 202. Each of the drill rods 100 can discharge to the corresponding split drill bit 202 connected thereto to break rocks. The pulse drilling device equipped with the split drill bit 202 can realize continuous drilling work with small energy and large diameter.

[0035] In an embodiment, the drill bit is detachably connected to the drill rod 100 through a drill bit connector 500.

[0036] According to the above-described embodiments, it can be seen that by changing a type of the drill bit, the pulse drilling device can be suitable for continuous drilling work under different working conditions, which greatly improves the flexibility and versatility of the pulse drilling device.

[0037] In an embodiment, each of the drill rods 100 is provided with the discharge switch 400 to control the working status of each of the drill rods 100.

[0038] For example, the first drill rod 101 is connected with a first discharge switch. The second drill rod 102 is connected with a second discharge switch. The third drill rod 103 is connected with a third discharge switch. The fourth drill rod 104 is connected with a fourth discharge switch. When the first drill rod 101 is required to discharge, the first discharge switch is in a conductive state, and the first drill rod 101 discharges to the drill bit to break the rock. At this time, the second discharge switch, the third discharge switch and the fourth discharge switch are all in an off state, and the second drill rod 102, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104 are all in the charging state. When the electric energy of the first drill rod 101 is exhausted, the first discharge switch, the third discharge switch and the fourth discharge switch are in the off state, the second discharge switch is in the on state, and the second drill rod 102 is discharged to the drill bit to breaking rocks, and the rest of the drill rods are in the charging state.

[0039] In an embodiment, an insulating layer is provided between a low-voltage end and a high-voltage end at a connecting port of the drill rod 100 and the drill bit connector 500. The insulation layer is configured to isolate a connection among the high-voltage electrode drill bit, the low-voltage electrode drill bit and the casing to prevent a leakage of electrical energy and safety problems.

[0040] In an embodiment, the pulse drilling device further includes a control unit electrically connected to each of the discharge switches 400 to control a discharge time and a discharge sequence of each of the drill rods 100 by controlling the working state of each of the discharge switches 400.

[0041] Further, in an embodiment, at least one energy storage capacitor 300 is connected to each of the drill rods 100. Each of the energy storage capacitors 300 is connected to a high-voltage power supply. The high-voltage power supply is electrically connected to the control unit. With reference to the above embodiment, the pulse drilling device further includes the control unit. The control unit is electrically connected to the first discharge switch, the second discharge switch, the third discharge switch and the fourth discharge switch. Each of the drill rods 100 can be equipped with a plurality of energy storage capacitors 300, and each of the energy storage capacitors 300 is connected to the high-voltage power supply. The high-voltage power supply can convert a conventional 220V commercial power or a 380V industrial power into a high-voltage direct current, and transfer it to the energy storage capacitor 300 to charge the first drill rod 101, the second drill rod 102, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104. The control system can control the high-voltage power supply to charge the energy storage capacitors 300 corresponding to the first drill rod 101, the second drill rod 102, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104.

[0042] At the same time, the control system can also set a certain discharge time and a certain discharge sequence. For example, the control system may set the discharge sequence to be the first drill rod 101, the second drill rod 102, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104. The discharge time of each of the drill rods 100 is 30 minutes.

[0043] At the beginning, the control system controls the first discharge switch to be in the on state, and the second discharge switch, the third discharge switch and the fourth discharge switch to be in the off state. At this time, the first drill rod 101 is discharged to the drill bit to break. At the same time, the control system controls the high-voltage power supply to charge the second drill rod 102, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104. After the first drill rod 101 is discharged for 30 minutes, the control system controls the first discharge switch, the third discharge switch and the fourth discharge switch to be in the off state, and the second discharge switch is in the on state. At this time, the second drill rod 102 is discharged to the drill bit to break. At the same time, the control system controls the high-voltage power supply to charge the first drill rod 101, the third drill rod 103 and the fourth drill rod 104. After the second drill rod 102 is discharged for 30 minutes, the first discharge switch, the second discharge switch and the fourth discharge switch are in the off state, and the third discharge switch is in the on state. At this time, the third drill rod 103 is discharged to the drill bit to break. At the same time, the control system controls the high-voltage power supply to charge the first drill rod 101, the second drill rod 102 and the fourth drill rod 104. After the third drill rod 103 is discharged for 30 minutes, the first discharge switch, the second discharge switch and the third discharge switch are in the off state, and the fourth discharge switch is in the on state. At this time, the fourth drill rod 104 is discharged to the drill bit to break. At the same time, the control system controls the high-voltage power supply to charge the first drill rod 101, the second drill rod 102 and the third drill rod 103. According to this rule, a next cycle of the continuous charging and discharging work is carried out.

[0044] It should be understood here that at least one energy storage capacitor 300 is connected to each of the drill rods 100. The energy storage capacitor 300 connected to each of the drill rods 100 can be adjusted according to actual needs. All energy storage capacitors can be connected to the same high-voltage power supply.

[0045] In an embodiment, the pulse drilling device further includes a casing 600. Each of the energy storage capacitors 300 and each of the drill rods 100 are installed in the casing 600.

[0046] Furthermore, in an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, a slag discharge channel 700 is provided in the casing 600. The plurality of drill rods 100 are provided in an annular array inside the casing 600 with a center point of the slag discharge channel 700 as a center point of the annular array.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 1, the slag discharge channel 700 is located at a center of the plurality of drill rods 100, which is configured to suppress a mud and flush out the slag from broken rocks to discharge the slag in a positive circulation. Or the broken slag can be sucked out from the slag discharge channel 700 to discharge the slag in a reverse circulation.

[0048] According to the above-described embodiments, it can be seen that the pulse drilling device has a simple and compact structure and is easy to operate. Compared with traditional mechanical breaking methods, its breaking efficiency is greatly improved and the working cost is lower. At the same time, the device can be applied to drilling work under different working conditions and has the high flexibility and versatility. In addition, compared with the existing pulse drilling device, this device can truly realize continuous charging and continuous discharge, thereby achieving continuous drilling work, and the drilling work efficiency is greatly improved.
