The invention discloses a self-propelled intermittent pulse high-pressure spray head for a radial horizontal well. The spray head is provided with a shell which is connected with a concave-type drainage plate through a thread, a spherical groove is formed in the inner wall of the shell, and the two ends of a horizontal shaft are provided with wear-resistant steel balls which are clamped in the spherical groove formed in the inner wall of the shell respectively; an overturning plate is arranged to be hollowed, and the horizontal shaft penetrates through the center. The concave-type drainage plate has a drainage effect and drives the overturning plate to conduct periodic rotation, and the drilling and rock breaking efficiency is improved; high-pressure drilling fluid forms an eddy current under the stirring action of the overturning plate, and the rock breaking speed is increased; along with rotation of the overturning plate, the drilling fluid below the drainage baffle produces an excited oscillation effect, and the energy of the fluid at the outlet of spray nozzles is increased; the groove is formed in the upper portion of the concave-type drainage plate, and the self-propelling capacity of the spray head is improved; the overturning plate adopts a mode that the mass is distributed nonuniformly, when the overturning plate rotates, the spray head is driven to jump continuously, and therefore the friction force between the spray head and a stratum is reduced, and the self-propelling capacity of the spray head is improved.
