In order to enhance the output performance of axial flow helical turbine drilling tools, it is crucial to conduct research on the structure and hydraulic performance of the turbine. Firstly, an analytical computational model for the hydraulic characteristics of two types of helical turbines, namely constant thickness blade and variable thickness blade, was established using calculus principles. Secondly, the blade profile equation was constructed to analyze the influence of helix angle on the hydraulic performance of the turbine. Finally, based on the design example of an underground helical turbine generator, the output performance parameters of the two types of helical turbines and the impact of helix angle were analyzed. Furthermore, a mud pulse generator was manufactured based on the optimized analysis results of the helical turbine, and indoor experiments were conducted to study the impact of different displacements on the power generation performance. The research findings show as follows. Under given conditions, the variable thickness helical turbine exhibits significantly higher hydraulic performance compared to the helical turbine with constant blade thickness. The turbine output characteristics curve sharply decreases as the helix angle of the blade increases. However, the decrease in turbine output characteristics becomes insignificant when the helix angle exceeds a certain value (approximately 30°). With 7 blade counts and a helix angle of 38°, the underground turbine generator reaches a maximum power of 300 W with a load of 8 Ω. Through indoor testing, the power of the generator meets the requirements of underground tools. This research provides a reliable power source for underground intelligent drilling equipment.
