Benefits of technology

[0008]In another aspect to the invention the working surface may have multiple cutting elements that aid in the drilling process. One cutting element may be substantially coaxial relative to the bit body and may aid in stabilizing the bit as it rotates. The substantially coaxial cutting element may also be spring loaded so

Problems solved by technology

Such cutting elements are often subjected to intense forces, torques, vibration, high temperatures and temperature differentials during operation.
As a result, stresses within the bit may begin to form.
Drag bits for example may exhibit stresses aggravated by drilling anomalies during roof boring operations such as bit whirl or bounce often resulting in spalling, delamination or fracture of the super hard abrasive layer or the substrate thereby reducing or eliminating the cutting elements efficacy and decreasing overall drill bit wear life.
Damage typically found in drag bits may be a result of shear failures, although non-shear modes of failure are not uncommon.

Embodiment Construction

[0035]FIG. 1 is an orthogonal diagram of a roof mining machine 100 attached to a roof mining drill bit 101. An arm 102 may be intermediate the drill bit 101 and a platform 103. The arm 102 may be attached to a hydraulic system 104 that may allow the arm 102 to move. The arm 102 may also be able to telescope to bring the drill bit 101 in and out of contact with the mine roof 105. A rotation device 106 may be attached to the arm 102 and be in communication with the drill bit 101. The drill bit 101 may rotate when the rotation device 106 is activated. The drill bit 101 may comprise multiple cutting elements 107 adapted to engage the roof of the mine 105 which may facilitate drilling.

[0036]FIG. 2 is a perspective diagram of a roof mining drill bit 101. The drill bit 101 may comprise a bit body 201 intermediate a working surface 202 and a shank 203. The working surface 202 may comprise multiple outer cutting elements 157 that comprise diamond working ends 204. Each diamond working end 20...

Abstract

In one aspect of the invention a rotary mine roof drilling apparatus has an arm attached to and intermediate a drill bit and a platform. The apparatus also has a thrusting mechanism adapted to push the drill bit into a mine roof. The drill bit has a bit body intermediate a shank and a working surface. The working surface has a cutting element with a carbide substrate bonded to a diamond working end with a pointed geometry; and the diamond working end has a 0.050-0.200 inch apex radius.
