Experimental Study on the Working Characteristics of Jet Element in Hydraulic Impactor
摘要
With the increase of drilling depth, the difficulty of rock breaking increases gradually. The existing drills faces the problems that the cutting teeth are difficult to eat into the formation and the rock breaking efficiency is low. Using the hydraulic impactor drilling technology, the drill bit can effectively cut into the formation and improve the drilling efficiency, and the performance of the hydraulic impactor is affected by the working characteristics of the jet element. In this paper, the influence of input flow rate and structural parameters on the pressure recovery coefficient, switching time and critical flow rate of the jet element is studied by experiment. 3D printing technology is innovatively used to fabricate jet elements with different structural parameters (e.g., aspect ratio; position difference; control channel width.) for test experiments. The results show that the structural parameters have a significant effect on the pressure recovery coefficient, and the sensitivity is the height of the emptying channel, the width of the emptying channel and the width of the output channel. The pressure recovery coefficient decreases with the increase of the width and height of the emptying channel, and increases with the increase of the width of the output channel. When the dimensionless width of the output channel (all proportional to the nozzle width
