The invention provides a cuttings bed recognition system. The system comprises a cuttings bed recognition device, a signal transmission device, a signal decoding recognition device and a display device. The cuttings bed recognition device is arranged on a drill column and used for collecting cuttings bed information data, a coding rule is used for coding information data, and a coding result is obtained; the signal transmission device receives the coding result, and the coding result is transmitted to the signal decoding recognition device, the signal decoding recognition device is arranged onthe ground and can receive the coding result, according to the coding rule, the coding result is subjected to decoding recognition to obtain a decoding recognition result, and the display device receives the decoding recognition result and displays a cuttings bed simulated diagram according to the decoding recognition result. The cuttings bed recognition system can achieve real-time detection andreal-time processing on the cuttings bed, long-time rotation stop condition of the drill column can be avoided, and the drilling work efficiency is improved.
