Downhole motor for a drilling apparatus

摘要

A drilling motor has been developed with a hollow tubular stator having at least one rod recess therein and an exhaust port therethrough corresponding to each of the at least one rod recess; a rod movably disposed in each of the at least one rod recess; a tubular rotor movably disposed within the stator for rotation therein, the tubular rotor having a central motive fluid flow channel therethrough and extending along the length of the rotor, the rotor having one or more radial flow channels therethrough for providing a motive fluid flow path from the central motive fluid flow channel to at least one action chamber between the hollow tubular stator and tubular rotor; the tubular rotor having at least one rotor seal; and the at least one action chamber defined by an interior surface of the hollow tubular stator and an exterior surface of the tubular rotor, each of the at least one action chamber sealed at one end by the rod and at another end by one of the at least one rotor seals. A rotor has been developed with a central motive fluid flow channel and one or more radial flow channels interconnected therewith for fluid to flow to action chambers, e.g. action chambers between the rotor and a stator of a drilling motor.
