Abstract
A drilling platform for amphibious operations includes: a base, wherein drive tracks are arranged on both sides of the base, a propeller is disposed at a rear end of the base, and a driving assembly is disposed inside the base; two support cylinders are respectively disposed at two ends of the base; each of the support cylinders contains a sub-cylinder; a pushing cylinder is arranged on a bottom surface of the partition plate; a buoyancy adjustment assembly is provided at a bottom of the base, so as to provide buoyancy support for the base when the base is transferred from land to water. The present invention is suitable for drilling construction of pile foundations of water and land buildings, bridge piers, and transmission line electric tower pile foundations, as well as drilling of oil wells, wherein the drilling platform construction process at different drilling points is omitted.
