Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PDC drill bits, in particular to a PDC drill bit with adjustable aperture. Background Art

[0002] Polycrystalline diamond compact drill bits, or PDC drill bits for short, are made of polycrystalline diamond (thin discs) made into small cutting blocks embedded or sintered into the drill bit body. They are used in soft to medium-hard formations. Patent No. CN202323501615.6 discloses a PDC drill bit. The first gauge portion and the second gauge portion cooperate to form a stepped gauge structure with two different gauge sizes. This can balance stability and directional capability during drilling operations. However, since the aperture of the PDC drill bit is not easy to adjust, the PDC drill bit can only be replaced when drilling holes of different apertures is needed, which is very limited. To this end, we propose a PDC drill bit with adjustable aperture. Utility Model Content

A spring for pushing the sliding column to move is assembled in the cylinder.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when using a PDC drill bit, the ring body on the outer periphery of the shaft outer ring can be used to make the ring body move on the outer periphery of the ring and drive the support plate to move through the ear block, so that the support plate can push the claws hinged on the outer periphery of the ring seat, and because the support plate is hinged between the claws and the ear block, the claws in the multiple groups of grooves on the outer periphery of the ring seat can swing synchronously, thereby facilitating the expansion of the outer diameter of the PDC drill bit, and the hole diameter when the drill bit is drilling can be increased, and it is convenient to adjust according to the needs during use;

[0007] When the ring seat is screwed and installed on the outer periphery of the shaft, after the ring seat is screwed into the appropriate position, the spring inside the cylinder in the pin hole inside the shaft can push the sliding column, so that one end of the sliding column can extend out of the cylinder and be plugged into the arc hole on the inner periphery of the ring seat, which is convenient for limiting and fixing the position of the ring seat screwed on the outer periphery of the shaft, thereby improving the stability of the ring seat and claw teeth when installed on the outer periphery of the shaft, making it possible to operate more stably, and then the support plate is installed between the claw teeth and the ear block to use the drill bit, and the ring seat and claw teeth can also be disassembled and assembled separately for easy replacement.

[0010] Specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve and the top surface of the shaft body are both provided with liquid outlet holes, and there are multiple groups of liquid outlet holes.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid outlet holes on the outer periphery of the sleeve are matched with the liquid outlet holes on the outer periphery of the shaft, which is convenient for auxiliary spraying of lubricating or cooling liquid when the drill bit is drilling.

[0014] Specifically, an inserting hole connected to the arc-shaped hole is provided on the inner bottom surface of the groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ring seat at the top of the shaft body needs to be disassembled and assembled, the sliding column can be pushed with the corresponding tool through the socket in the groove, so that the sliding column can be separated from the arc hole and retracted into the cylinder, so that the ring seat can be rotated and disassembled and replaced.

[0016] Specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the shaft, the outer peripheral surface of the collar and the outer peripheral surface of the ring are all provided with screw holes, and there are multiple groups of screw holes, and screw pins for fastening are threadedly installed in the screw holes.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, after adjusting the position of the outer ring body of the ring, the screw pin and the screw hole can be screwed together to facilitate limiting and fixing the position of the outer ring body of the ring, and the adjusted position of the outer claw teeth of the ring seat can be locked, so that the claw teeth can be used stably during drilling.

[0027] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0028] See also Figure 1-4 The embodiment of the utility model provides a technical solution: a PDC drill bit with adjustable aperture, comprising a shaft body 1, a ring seat 2 for support being screwed onto the top surface of the shaft body 1, and a groove 3 being formed on the outer periphery of the ring seat 2, and the groove 3 has multiple groups, and claw teeth 4 for drilling holes are hingedly connected to the groove 3 via a rotating shaft, a collar 5 for support being screwed onto the outer periphery of the shaft body 1, and a ring body 6 for adjustment being slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the collar 5, and an ear block 7 for support being integrally constructed on the outer periphery of the ring body 6.
