The disclosure relates to the technical field of drilling, in particular to a microwave rock-breaking drilling device, specifically a drilling device for breaking the rock with the aid of the microwave softening the rock.
Drilling is the process of drilling the stratum into a borehole from the ground by using mechanical equipment or manpower.

In the process of deep rock drilling and crushing, due to the high hardness of the rock, it is easy to cause serious wear of the drill bit blades, thus reducing the operation efficiency and increasing the drilling costs. Therefore, it is urgent to upgrade and reform the traditional drilling equipment. By introducing a new type of the microwave-assisted rock breaking device, using the advantages of the body heating, no heat transfer medium, fast heating, and high efficiency of the microwave action, the strength of the rock is weakened when the device acts on the hard rock, which can greatly improve the rock breaking efficiency, reduce the equipment wear, and reduce the drilling costs.
