Abstract
This study aims to achieve rapid drilling of life-support holes, regarding the optimization design of drill bits as the key, among which the simulation analysis of drill bit cutting teeth is an important technical means. Firstly, based on the rock mechanics test results in the study area combined with the corresponding logging information, the analysis and evaluation of the geological conditions in the study area were completed, a complete rock mechanics characteristic profile was established, and the drillability of the rock was calculated to be relatively good. Then, a numerical simulation of parallel cutting of rock with conical teeth was established by experimentally testing rock mechanics parameters and using the discrete element method (PFC2D). The simulation study of the drill bit cutting teeth was completed by parameter calibration, analysis of rock cutting morphology, analysis of the number of rock cutting cracks, and analysis of the specific work of rock cutting and breaking. It was determined that the optimal rock-entering angle of the drill bit cutting teeth in the Shouyang mining area is 14°. Finally, verified by field practice, the optimized drill bit has stable performance, strong cutting ability, and good wear resistance; the maximum instantaneous mechanical drilling speed reaches 58.14 m/h, and it shows a slightly worn state after continuously drilling 582 m in the stratum, meeting the requirements of one-trip drilling and hole formation for life-support holes. This research provides a scientific basis and practical techniques for the construction of life-support holes in the Shouyang mining area and under similar geological conditions. It can provide more effective emergency plans and rescue strategies for possible mine disasters in the future, which is crucial for improving the technical system of emergency rescue for mine accidents and enhancing the emergency rescue capability of surface drilling.
