DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(8) The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with attached FIGS. 1-6.

(9) The embodiment of the present application discloses a full-metal dynamic-sealed concentrically-centered downhole displacement motor. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the downhole displacement motor includes a vertically arranged outer tube 1, a cylindrical stator 2 fixed in the outer tube 1, a rotor 3 rotatably connected in the stator 2, and a flow distribution shaft 4 hangingly mounted in the inner hole of the rotor 3. Here, the inner chamber of the stator 2 is elliptical, and the outer tube 1 and the stator 2 do not contact each other to form an annular chamber 51.

(10) Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper end of the flow distribution shaft 4 is connected with the external drilling fluid, so that the external drilling fluid can smoothly enter the inner hole of the flow distribution shaft 4. The flow distribution shaft 4 is also provided with a plurality of flow distribution holes 41 for the drilling fluid to flow out. There are n flow distribution holes 41 at the same cross section that are arranged equidistantly around the axis of the flow distribution shaft 4, where n is a positive integer ≥2, preferably, n=2 is taken as an example for description in the present application, and two flow distribution holes 41 are symmetrically provided at the same cross section. At the side wall of the rotor 3, there are 2n accommodation slots 31 equidistantly around the axis of the rotor 3, that is, four accommodation slots 31 are provided. The inner wall of the rotor 3 is provided with circulation port 33 each facing one rotor copper rod 32. When the rotor 3 rotates, the flow distribution holes 41 can alternately communicate with the circulation ports 33, and the drilling fluid flowing from the outside to the inner hole of the flow distribution shaft 4 will also flows into the circulation ports 33 from the flow distribution holes 41 communicated therewith, and pushes the rotor copper rod 32 to slide in the accommodation slot 31 so that the rotor copper rod 32 abuts on the inner wall of the stator 2. At this time, an accommodation space 52 for the drilling fluid to flow in is formed between every two rotor copper rods 32.

(11) Wherein, each of the circulation ports 33 has a notch 34 on the side of the rotor copper rod 32 that is in communication with the accommodation space 52, so that the drilling fluid in the flow distribution shaft 4 can reach the circulation port 33 from the flow distribution holes 41 communicated therewith, and reach the accommodation space 52 through the notch 34, and at this time, the accommodation space 52 communicated with the flow distribution hole 41 is a high-pressure chamber 521. At the same time, the stator 2 is provided with a plurality of pressure relief ports 21 for allowing the annular chamber 51 and the accommodation space 52 to communicate with each other. There are n pressure relief ports 21 at the same cross section that are arranged equidistantly around the axis of the stator 2, that is, there are two pressure relief ports 21 at the same cross section that are arranged equidistantly around the axis of the stator 2. And the flow distribution holes 41 and the pressure relief ports 21 at the same cross section are arranged in a staggered manner, so that each accommodation space 52 can be alternatively communicated with the flow distribution holes 41 and pressure relief ports 21, that is, the accommodation space 52 adjacent to the high-pressure chamber 521 is communicated with the pressure relief port 21 to form the low-pressure chamber 522, and finally form the high-pressure chambers 521 and the low-pressure chambers 522 arranged in a staggered manner. After the external drilling fluid reaches the flow distribution shaft 4, it can reach the circulation port 33 communicated with the flow distribution hole 41 from the flow distribution hole 41, and reach the accommodation space 52 to form the high-pressure chamber 521, and an accommodation space 52 adjacent to the high-pressure chamber 521 is communicated with the pressure relief port 21 to form the low-pressure chamber 522. As the drilling fluid continues to enter the high-pressure chamber 521, the liquid in the high-pressure chamber 521 will push the rotor 3 to rotate in the direction of the low-pressure chamber 522. As shown in FIG. 2, in order to allow more drilling fluid to enter, the high-pressure chamber 521 will push the rotor 3 to rotate clockwise, so that the volume of the high-pressure chamber 521 gradually increases, and the drilling fluid in the low-pressure chamber 522 also flows out from the pressure relief port 21. The cycle is as such so as to drive the rotor 3 to continuously rotate and realize the power output.

(12) Here, in order to avoid that, when the rotor 3 rotates, the rotor copper rod 32 at the circulation port 33 that is not communicated with the flow distribution hole 41 is retracted into the accommodation slot 31 so that two adjacent accommodation spaces 52 are communicated, that is, the high-pressure chamber 521 and the low-pressure chamber 522 are communicated, thereby affecting the normal rotation of the rotor 3. an embedding slot 22 is provided on the inner wall of the stator 2 near the pressure relief port 21. The stator copper rod 23 is located in the high-pressure chamber 521. The stator copper rod 23 is rotatably connected in the embedding slot 22. The length direction of the stator copper rod 23 is the same as the axial direction of the stator 2. There are n stator copper rods 23, that is, there are two stator copper rods 23 in the present application, and the two stator copper rods 23 correspond to the two pressure relief openings 21 at the same cross section one by one. When the rotor 3 rotates, the side wall of the stator copper rod 23 always abuts against the outer wall of the rotor 3 or the rotor copper rod 32 so that the high-pressure chamber 521 and the low-pressure chamber 522 always are maintained in a state of not being communicated, ensuring the seal between the high-pressure chamber 521 and the low-pressure chamber 522. At the same time, the design of the stator copper rod 23 can also enable that when the drilling fluid enters the high-pressure chamber 521, the stator copper rod 23 will give the drilling fluid a force to push the rotor 3 to rotate, making the rotor 3 rotate more smoothly; and multiple stator copper rods 23 can play the role of centering of the rotor 3. Since the stator copper rod 23 is in rolling contact with the rotor 3, the friction between the stator 2 and the rotor 3 can be greatly reduced, so that the rotor 3 can rotate more smoothly.

(13) Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper end of the stator 2 is provided with a mounting slot 24 provided in the inner hole of the stator 2. An upper centering ring 35 is provided in the mounting slot 24. A lower centering ring 36 is fixed on the inner wall of the stator 2 close to the lower end of the stator 2. The rotor 3 is rotatably connected between the upper centering ring 35 and the lower centering ring 36 to fix the position of the rotor 3 so that the rotor 3 can rotate in the inner hole of the stator 2.

(14) Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, the lower end of the outer tube 1 is threadedly connected with a connecting sleeve 11. Specifically, the lower end of the outer tube 1 is machined with internal threads, and the upper end of the connecting sleeve 11 is machined with external threads. When the connecting sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the outer tube 1, the upper end of the connecting sleeve 11 is located in the outer tube 1 and forms a stepped surface, and the lower end of the stator 2 is provided on the upper end of the connecting sleeve 11 so that the connecting sleeve 11 can support the stator 2 so as to fix the position of the stator 2 in the outer tube 1.

(15) Referring to FIG. 4, an upper support frame 12 is slidably connected in the outer tube 1, and the upper support frame 12 is insertedly mated with the upper end of the stator 2. Specifically, the upper support frame 12 is provided with a insert slot 121 for the upper end of the stator 2 to be inserted. The support frame 12 can fix the radial position of the upper end of the stator 2.

(16) Referring to FIGS. 4 and 6, the flow distribution shaft 4 is suspended from the upper support frame 12. Specifically, the upper support frame 12 is provided with an insertion hole 122 for the flow distribution shaft 4 to be inserted, and a fixing ring 42 is fixed on the outer wall of the flow distribution shaft 4, and is located at the upper end of the flow distribution shaft 4, wherein the diameter of the fixing ring 42 is larger than the diameter of the insertion hole 122, so that when the flow distribution shaft 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 122, the fixing ring 42 can be clamped on the upper side of the upper support frame 12 so as to fix the position of the flow distribution shaft 4. At the same time, the suspension arrangement of the flow distribution shaft 4 also prevents the flow distribution shaft 4 from interfering with the rotor 3, and avoids the failure of the rotor 3 caused by gravity, that is generated by the water pressure on the flow distribution shaft 4, acting on the rotor 3.

(17) Here, in order to fix the circumferential position of the flow distribution shaft 4, a limit block 43 is also fixed on the side wall of the flow distribution shaft 4, and is located at the end of the flow distribution shaft 4 facing the fixing ring 42. There are a plurality of limit rings 621 arranged equidistantly around the axis of the flow distribution shaft 4. At the same time, the upper support frame 12 is provided with a limit groove 123 for the limit block 43 to slide. When the flow distribution shaft 4 is mounted in the insertion hole 122, the limit block 43 also slides in the limit groove 123 so as to fix the circumferential position of the flow distribution shaft 4 and prevent the flow distribution shaft 4 from rotating with the rotor 3 so as to affect the normal distribution work.

(18) Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, an output shaft 6 is provided at the lower end of the rotor 3, and the output shaft 6 is used to connect with a drill bit to meet the needs of bottom hole drilling. And a lower joint 13 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the connecting sleeve 11. Specifically, an internal thread is machined at the lower end of the connecting sleeve 11, and an external thread is machined on the upper end of the lower joint 13. When the lower joint 13 is threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve 11, the part of the joint 13 located in the connecting sleeve 11 forms a stepped surface for supporting the output shaft 6 so as to support the output shaft 6 and fix the axial position of the output shaft 6.

(19) Specifically, an auxiliary rod 37 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotor 3, and the auxiliary rod 37 has a non-circular cross section. The output shaft 6 includes a connecting shaft 61 that is inserted and matched with the auxiliary rod 37, and a main shaft 62 that is inserted and matched with an end of the connecting shaft 61 away from the auxiliary rod 37. The end of the connecting shaft 61 away from the auxiliary rod 37 is also non-circular. Specifically, the auxiliary rod 37 and the end of the connecting shaft 61 away from the auxiliary rod 37 may be regular polygons, ellipses, irregular shapes, etc., as long as they can realize, when the rotor 3 rotates, to drive the connecting shaft 61 and the main shaft 62 to rotate synchronously. The present application takes an example that the cross sections of the auxiliary rod 37 and of the end of the connecting shaft 61 away from the auxiliary rod 37 each are regular hexagons.

(20) Here, a limit ring 621 is fixed on the outer wall of the main shaft 62, and the limit ring 621 abuts on the end of the lower joint 13 in the connecting sleeve 11, thereby fixing the position of the main shaft 62 in the lower joint 13. The connecting shaft 61 is clamped between the main shaft 62 and the rotor 3, so that the axial positions of the main shaft 62 and of the connecting shaft 61 can be fixed. At the same time, in order to reduce the friction between the limit ring 621 and the lower joint 13 when the main shaft 62 rotates with the rotor 3, three thrust bearings 63 are mounted between the limit ring 621 and the lower joint 13. The thrust bearings 63 can reduce the friction between the limit ring 621 and the lower joint 13, makings the main shaft 62 rotate more smoothly.

(21) Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, an auxiliary groove 622 is provided at the upper end of the main shaft 62 at the outer wall of the main shaft 62, so that the side wall of the auxiliary groove 622 forms a stepped surface. A first radial bearing 64 is provided between the main shaft 62 and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 11, and is provided on the stepped surface formed by the side wall of the auxiliary groove 622, so as to fix the axial position of the first radial bearing 64.

(22) At the same time, a lower support frame 14 is provided on the first radial bearing 64. The lower support frame 14 rotates and cooperates with the main shaft 62. The lower support frame 14 can fix the radial position of the upper end of the main shaft 62 to avoid shaking when the main shaft 62 rotates. At the same time, the main shaft 62 and the connecting shaft 61 are both cylindrical. A placement chamber 53 is formed between the upper side of the lower support frame 14 and the inner wall of the stator 2. The placement chamber 53 is in communication with the annular chamber 51 and the inner hole of the output shaft 6, so that the drilling fluid in the annulus chamber 51 can reach the inner hole of the output shaft 6 through the placement chamber 53 and is finally output from the inner hole of the output shaft 6, facilitating subsequent drilling work.

(23) Here, a second radial bearing 65 is further provided between the main shaft 62 and the connecting sleeve 11, and the second radial bearing 65 is placed on the limit ring 621, which can reduce the friction between the main shaft 62 and the connecting sleeve 11.

(24) Referring to FIG. 4, in order to facilitate the installation of the motor, an upper joint 15 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the outer tube 1, and a drilling tool can be connected to the outer tube 1 through the upper joint 15 to realize the liquid supply to the flow distribution shaft 4.

(25) At the same time, the motor is made of all metal material and does not contain parts not resistant to high temperatures such as rubber, so that the motor can be used in high temperature environments to meet the needs of downhole high temperature drilling and have a longer service life.

(26) The implementation principle of the full-metal dynamic-sealed concentrically-centered downhole displacement motor in the embodiment of the present application is as follows. When in use, a pipe that transports the drilling fluid from the outside is directly connected to the upper joint 15, and the centernal drilling fluid will be directly transported to the flow distribution shaft 4, and from the flow distribution hole 41 through the circulation port 33 communicated therewith to the accommodation space 52, so that the accommodation space 52 forms a high-pressure chamber 521, and an adjacent accommodation space 52 communicates with the pressure relief port 21 to form a low-pressure chamber 522. With the continuous injection of drilling fluid, the drilling fluid in the high-pressure chamber 521 will push the rotor 3 through the rotor copper rod 32 to rotate toward the low-pressure chamber 522 to increase the volume of the high-pressure chamber 521. At this time, the drilling fluid in the low-pressure chamber 522 also flows from the pressure relief port 21 to the annulus chamber 51, and reaches the inner hole of the output shaft 6 through the placement chamber 53, and finally discharges from the inner hole of the output shaft 6. As the rotor 3 rotates, the two adjacent circulation ports 33 alternately communicate with the flow distribution hole 41, so that the high-pressure chamber 521 and the low-pressure chamber 522 are alternately exchanged, thereby driving the rotor 3 to continuously rotate, and the rotor 3 also drives the connecting shaft 61 and the main shaft 62 to rotate to achieve power output. The rotor 3 and the stator 2 are dynamically sealed by the rotor copper rods 32 and the stator copper rods 23, which can greatly reduce the friction between the rotor 3 and the stator 2 while ensuring the sealing, making the rotor 3 run more smoothly and greatly extending the service life. And because the motor as a whole does not contain parts not resistant to high temperatures such as rubber, the motor can meet the needs of high-temperature downhole drilling with better performance.

(27) The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the scope of protection of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present application shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present application.
