For example, in the present embodiment, during normal drilling, the inner tube 4 moves downward under the action of drilling fluid and presses the spring 6 until the top end of the trapezoidal boss 801 at the lower end of the rotating block 8 corresponds to the shallow groove at the upper end of the lower fixed block 11, the inner tube 4 is restricted from moving downward, and the nozzle 101 is in a closed state;
when the well needs to be cleaned, the pump is stopped, the spring 6 pushes the inner tube 4 to move upwards to drive the rotating block 8 to move upwards, when the top end of the rotating block 8 reaches the lower end of the upper fixed block 7, the inclined plane at the top end of the rotating block 8 corresponds to the inclined plane at the bottom end of the upper fixed block 7, and the rotating block 8 is driven to rotate until the vertical sections of the top end of the rotating block 8 and the bottom end of the upper fixed block 7 are overlapped;
and starting the pump again, enabling the inner pipe 4 to move downwards under the action of the drilling fluid and compressing the spring 6, enabling the trapezoidal boss at the lower end of the rotating block 8 to correspond to the deep groove at the upper end of the lower fixing block 11, enabling the inner pipe 4 to move downwards until the nozzle 101 is completely opened, adjusting the inner pipe to the normal construction displacement, reducing the pump pressure by 1-3MPa compared with that before stopping the pump, and calculating specific reduction values in advance according to different nozzle sizes to judge whether the nozzle 101 is normally opened or not.
After the well is cleaned, the pump is stopped again, the spring 6 pushes the inner tube 4 to move upwards to drive the rotating block 8 to move upwards, when the top end of the rotating block 8 reaches the lower end of the upper fixed block 7, the inclined plane at the top end of the rotating block 8 corresponds to the inclined plane at the bottom end of the upper fixed block 7, the rotating block 8 is driven to rotate until the top end of the rotating block 8 and the vertical section at the bottom end of the upper fixed block 7 coincide, at the moment, the trapezoidal boss at the lower end of the rotating block 8 corresponds to the shallow groove at the upper end of the lower fixed block 11, the nozzle 101 can be closed.
When the well leakage occurs, putting the light ball 15, and calculating the time for the light ball 15 to reach the circulation-while-drilling short joint according to the volume of the drilling fluid pumped after the ball is put; if the nozzle 101 is in a closed state, the pump is stopped once in advance before the light ball 15 reaches the while-drilling circulation nipple, and whether the nozzle is normally opened or not is judged according to the change of the pump pressure after the pump is started; if the nozzle 101 is in an open state, the discharge capacity is properly reduced before the light ball 15 reaches the while-drilling circulation nipple; the light ball 15 falls to the conical structure 401 of the inner pipe to block a lower runner, the pump pressure rises at the moment, the plugging operation is started, and the plugging material enters an annular space formed by the drilling tool and the well hole through the nozzle 101; after the plugging is finished, the pump is stopped once, the pump is started again, the nozzle 101 is in a closed state, the pressure applied to the light ball 15 is increased, when the pressure reaches a set value, the light ball 15 deforms and falls into the upper portion of the top supporting ring 18 through the inner side of the inner pipe 4, and fluid flows through the drilling tool at the lower portion to recover normal drilling operation.
