The present disclosure relates to the technical field of geotechnical engineering and mining engineering, and particularly relates to a microwave drill bit capable of achieving fracturing of a borehole wall and end of a deep hard rock while drilling, and a use method thereof.
Rockburst refers to the phenomenon that elastic deformation potential energy accumulated in a stress concentration region of underground engineering rock masses is released suddenly under the conditions of excavation and other disturbances, which leads to burst and ejection of surrounding rocks to a free direction. Especially, with development of underground engineering towards deep areas, a geostress level is continuously increased, the geological environment of rock mass occurrence is more complex, and hazards caused by the rockburst are more severe, so that stress release is needed for a high stress region to reduce the rockburst risk. At present, a common stress release method is to drill boreholes in the high stress region. However, dust and noise can also be generated due to large workload of borehole drilling, which does not meet the requirements of environmental protection; next, improper design of borehole drilling parameters can result in a difficult control over the stress release effect; if the drilled boreholes are excessive, the strength of the surrounding rocks is difficult to guarantee; and if the drilled boreholes are less, the stress release effect is poor.
A microwave hardrock fracturing technology, as a novel highly-potential stress release technology, has the advantages of environmental protection and precise fracturing. The method comprises the steps of firstly, drilling a borehole by a common drill, then, removing a drill rod, inserting an in-hole microwave coaxial heater into the borehole, emitting microwaves to the wall periphery of the borehole, generating many cracks in the wall periphery of the drilled borehole, and obtaining the desired stress release effect according to the applied microwave power and time, thereby greatly improving the stress release effect in the rock mass. However, the method has some shortcomings: first, the drilling speed of a conventional drill for the hard rock is low; second, a working procedure is added compared with conventional drilling for stress release; third, there is a problem that the size of the borehole drilled firstly is mismatched with that of the in-hole microwave coaxial heater inserted subsequently, if the diameter of the borehole is too small or the borehole is not straight, the in-hole microwave coaxial heater cannot be inserted into the borehole; and if the diameter of the borehole is too large, the fracturing efficiency can be affected.
Therefore, it is urgent to develop an equipment capable of achieving synchronous operations of drilling and stress release, and besides, synchronous fracturing of the hard rock at the front end of the borehole can be achieved to improve the drilling efficiency, so that the problems of complex working procedures, borehole size mismatching and low drilling speed of the hard rock of the microwave stress release technology are solved, and popularization and application of the microwave stress release technology in engineering are achieved.
The present disclosure aims to provide a microwave drill bit capable of achieving fracturing of a borehole wall and end of a deep hard rock while drilling, and a use method thereof, and therefore stress release can be realized through rock mass fracture of a borehole wall while quick drilling of a hard rock.
