Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, this embodiment of a drill bit structure suitable for drilling soft rock in western regions includes a drill bit body 1; the working end of the drill bit body 1 is formed into a concave structure 11, and a conical cutter head 12 is provided inside the concave structure. A first roller cutter 121 is installed on the conical cutter head 12, and a circumferential flat-bottomed cutter head 13 is provided along the outer edge of the concave structure 11, and a second roller cutter 131 is installed on the circumferential flat-bottomed cutter head 13.

[0024] Here, the concave structure 11 at the working end of the drill bit body 1, where the outer edge of the circumferential flat-bottomed cutterhead 13 precedes the central "conical" cutterhead 12, allows the second roller cutter 131 on the circumferential flat-bottomed cutterhead 13 to break the rock ahead of the drill bit during construction, forming a leading circumferential cutting groove 2 of a certain depth. Meanwhile, the first roller cutter 121 on the "conical" cutterhead 12 cuts later, forming a conical rock column 3. The leading rock breaking by the second roller cutter 131 on the circumferential flat-bottomed cutterhead 13 stabilizes the drill bit and provides guidance, while also creating a free surface for the rock column within the circumferential cutting groove 2 during breakage. The conical design of the "conical" cutterhead 12 facilitates rock breaking by the roller cutter and the flow of subsequent mud filling.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, a cuttings-side absorption pipe 132 is also provided on the circumferential flat-bottom cutterhead 13; one end of the cuttings-side absorption pipe 132 is connected to the circumferential flat-bottom cutterhead 13 and extends downward through the circumferential flat-bottom cutterhead 13, and the other end of the cuttings-side absorption pipe 132 is connected to the central tube collection absorption pipe 133 inside the drill bit body 1. The cuttings-side absorption pipe 132 and the central tube collection absorption pipe 133 constitute a cuttings discharge channel, and their design is to absorb cuttings upwards during the drilling process.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to achieve multi-point absorption and avoid the problem of easy tooth jamming caused by excessive concentration of drill cuttings, thereby helping the cutter to maintain a sharp cutting edge and efficiently break rocks, multiple drill cuttings side absorption pipes 132 are provided, and the multiple drill cuttings side absorption pipes 132 are designed to be arranged in an evenly spaced circular pattern on the disc body of the circumferential flat-bottom cutterhead 13.

[0027] Specifically, in the embodiment, the "cone" shaped cutter head 12 is further provided with a slanting supplementary mud pipe 122, one end of the slanting supplementary mud pipe 122 is connected with the "cone" shaped cutter head 12 and penetrates the "cone" shaped cutter head 12 to communicate with the inside of the concave structure 11, and the other end of the slanting supplementary mud pipe 122 communicates with the outside. The slanting supplementary mud pipe 122 constitutes an entering channel for cutting and flushing mud, and is designed to guide the mud to the bottom center of the drill bit. During drilling construction, the supplementary mud directly flushes the upper part of the conical rock column 3 in the middle of the hole bottom, and then flows downward along the inclined surface of the conical rock column 3 into the annular cutting groove 2. Under the action of the gravity of the mud, this flow direction is more conducive to the flow of the mud, thereby enhancing the ability of the mud to carry drill cuttings.

[0028] In addition, in the embodiment, the drill bit body 1 is further provided with a drill bit connecting flange 14, a bearing cylinder 15, an outer cylinder 16 and a disc 17. The drill bit connecting flange is located at the topmost part, and the drill bit body is connected with the drilling tool system above it through the drill bit connecting flange; the bearing cylinder and the outer cylinder are located below the drill bit connecting flange and are connected with it respectively, and the outer cylinder inside below the bearing cylinder is transversely provided with the disc; the middle part of the disc is connected with the above-mentioned "cone" shaped cutter head, and the bottom of the outer cylinder is connected with the above-mentioned annular flat-bottomed cutter head. At the same time, the drill bit body between the drill bit connecting flange and the disc is further provided with an inner rib plate 18 and an outer rib plate 19; in the embodiment, the drill bit connecting flange 14, the inner rib plate 18, the bearing cylinder 15, the outer rib plate 19, the disc 17, the outer cylinder 16, the "cone" shaped cutter head 12 and the annular flat-bottomed cutter head 13 jointly constitute a complete force-bearing drill bit body.

[0029] The drill bit structure of the embodiment is simple in structure and convenient to use; during construction, the second roller cutter 131 on the annular flat-bottomed cutter head 13 first breaks the rock in advance to form an advanced annular cutting groove 2 with a certain depth, and then the first roller cutter 121 on the "cone" shaped cutter head 12 continues to cut to form a conical rock column 3; and during the construction process, the slanting supplementary mud pipe 122 releases mud to flush the conical rock column 3, and the mud mixed with the drill cuttings is discharged upward through the drill cuttings side suction pipe 132 and the central pipe collection suction pipe 133.

[0030] The above only describes the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
