Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The embodiment of the application provides a sealed transmission shaft assembly of a screw drill, which can solve the problems of poor sealing reliability and short service life of the transmission shaft assembly in the related technology.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, an embodiment of the present application provides a sealed transmission shaft assembly of a screw drill, including:
the transmission shaft device comprises a shell 1 and a transmission shaft 2, wherein the shell 1 is of a hollow tubular structure, a bearing assembly 6 for rotatably supporting the transmission shaft 2 is arranged in the shell 1, the transmission shaft 2 is positioned in the shell 1 and can freely rotate in the shell 1, and the upper end and the lower end of the transmission shaft 2 extend out of the shell 1. The top of the transmission shaft 2 is used for being connected with a water cap 8 in a threaded mode, and the bottom of the transmission shaft 2 is used for being connected with a drill bit in a threaded mode.
The sealing device comprises an upper sealing ring 3 which is positioned at the upper end of the shell 1 and is in sealing connection with the transmission shaft 2, and a lower sealing ring 4 which is positioned at the lower end of the shell 1 and is in sealing connection with the transmission shaft. An enclosed oil chamber 10 of the lubricating bearing assembly 6 is formed between the upper sealing ring 3 and the lower sealing ring 4, the enclosed oil chamber 10 is used for storing lubricating grease to lubricate moving parts in the shell 1 on one hand, and the enclosed oil chamber 10 is used for ensuring that the moving parts in the shell 1 are not contacted with outside drilling fluid and preventing the drilling fluid from being corroded and the debris from being worn.
And the pressure compensation device 5 is positioned on the shell 1 and is communicated with the closed oil cavity 10, and the pressure compensation device 5 is expanded and contracted to balance the pressure difference between the inside of the closed oil cavity 10 and the outside of the closed oil cavity 10. After the pressure compensation device 5 balances the pressure difference between the inside of the closed oil cavity 10 and the outside of the closed oil cavity 10 through expansion and contraction, the upper sealing ring 3 and the lower sealing ring 4 can keep reliable sealing performance under the non-differential pressure sealing condition.
When the screw drill sealed transmission shaft assembly works in a well bottom, in the initial stage, the external pressure of the sealed oil cavity 10 is equal to the annular pressure at the well depth, the internal pressure of the sealed oil cavity 10 is equal to the atmospheric pressure, and at the moment, the external pressure of the sealed oil cavity 10 is greater than the internal pressure of the sealed oil cavity 10. Under the action of the internal and external pressure difference of the pressure compensation device 5, the pressure compensation device 5 generates shrinkage deformation towards the inside of the closed oil cavity 10, the internal volume of the pressure compensation device 5 is reduced, and the pressure is increased until the internal pressure and the external pressure are balanced.
Because the length of the transmission shaft assembly is generally within 1.5 m, the annular pressure at the upper part and the annular pressure at the lower part of the sealed transmission shaft assembly of the screw drill are basically equal, and the external pressure of the sealed oil cavity 10 is also equal to the internal pressure of the sealed oil cavity 10 for the lower part of the sealed transmission shaft assembly of the screw drill.

The upper sealing ring 3 and the lower sealing ring 4 can keep reliable sealing performance under the non-differential pressure sealing condition.
When the screw drill sealing transmission shaft assembly works in a drilling process, the transmission shaft 2 rotates in the shell 1 at a high speed for a long time, lubricating grease in the closed oil cavity 10 generates heat to generate volume expansion, and the internal pressure of the closed oil cavity 10 is greater than the external pressure of the closed oil cavity 10. Redundant lubricating grease in the closed oil cavity 10 enters the pressure compensation device 5, the pressure compensation device 5 expands and deforms, the size of the pressure compensation device is increased, the balance of the internal pressure and the external pressure of the closed oil cavity 10 is kept again, and the reliable sealing of the upper sealing ring 3 and the lower sealing ring 4 on the transmission shaft 2 and the shell 1 is kept.

The pressure at the two ends of the closed oil cavity 10 is equal, the pressure inside the closed oil cavity 10 is equal to the pressure outside the closed oil cavity 10, the sealing performance of the sealing device is improved, and the service life of the transmission shaft assembly is prolonged.
The sealed transmission shaft assembly of the screw drilling tool has the advantages of simple and compact structure, shortened length of the transmission shaft 2, small bending deformation of the transmission shaft 2, improved sealing reliability, long service life and capability of meeting the requirements of slurry drilling construction under underbalanced drilling or severe working conditions.
