Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deep sea drilling, and more particularly to an internally driven coring drill bit for deep sea drilling. Background Art

[0002] In deep-sea drilling, especially during coring operations, the drill string is exposed to seawater and cannot rotate at high speeds. Conventional downhole power tools, such as screws and turbines, are not hollow structures and cannot provide a channel for lowering and withdrawing wireline coring tools. Therefore, roller bits are commonly used. When using roller bits for coring operations, the internal diameter of the drill bit is small, making it difficult to obtain large cores. Furthermore, when drilling into hard seabed rock, roller bits have a short lifespan and require frequent bit changes, which seriously affects operational efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide an internally driven coring drill bit to effectively improve operating efficiency is a problem that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an internally driven coring drill bit for deep-sea drilling, aiming to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An internal drive coring drill bit for deep sea drilling, comprising: a drill head and a joint;

[0007] An axial hollow channel is formed inside the drill head, and the drill head includes an upper joint, a rotating seat, and a drill bit connected in sequence from top to bottom. The upper joint is fixedly connected to the non-rotating member of the rotating seat, and the drill bit is fixedly connected to the rotating member of the rotating seat so that the drill bit can rotate relative to the upper joint. A clamping groove is provided at the connection between the rotating member and the drill bit located inside the hollow channel.

[0008] The joint part is inserted into the hollow channel of the drill head part, and the outer side wall of the joint part is provided with an elastic protrusion, and the elastic protrusion is clamped in the clamping groove.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the present invention provides a rotating seat, which allows the upper drill string assembly to remain stationary when the drill bit is rotated and drilled by the bottom hole power drill tool; an internally driven drill bit is formed by connecting the joint part and the drill bit, and a diamond drill bit or a PDC drill bit can be used in deep-sea drilling and coring operations, thereby increasing the life of the drill bit in hard rock drilling, reducing the frequency of drilling and changing the drill bit, and effectively improving the operation efficiency. The internally driven drill bit in the present invention effectively solves the problem that diamond drill bits cannot be used in deep-sea drilling due to low rotation speed.

[0010] Preferably, in the above-mentioned internally driven coring drill bit for deep-sea drilling, the rotating seat includes an inner shaft, and an upper bearing, a suspension joint, and a lower bearing that are sequentially sleeved on the outer side wall of the inner shaft from top to bottom. A fastening bolt is connected to the outer side wall of the bottom end of the inner shaft. The fastening bolt tightens the non-rotating ends of the lower bearing and the upper bearing against the bottom end of the upper joint. The suspension joint clamps the rotating ends of the lower bearing and the upper bearing. The bottom end of the suspension joint is fastened with a spring-loaded joint by a thread. The snap-fitting groove is formed on the inner side wall where the spring-loaded joint is connected to the drill bit. By providing the upper and lower bearings, the upper drill string assembly can remain stationary when the drill bit is rotated and drilled by the bottom hole power drilling tool.

[0011] Preferably, in the above-mentioned internally driven coring drill bit for deep-sea drilling, the joint portion includes a support sleeve, a cotter pin, a spring clip, and a tension spring; the support sleeve is sleeved in the hollow channel at intervals, and the side wall has a spring clip hole; the two ends of the cotter pin are radially fixed to the side wall of the support sleeve, and there are two spring clips, one end of each of the two spring clips is sleeved on the outside of the cotter pin, and the other end corresponds to the spring clip hole; the tension spring is fixed between the two spring clips, so that the two spring clips extend out of the spring clip hole and engage with the engaging groove. The tension spring causes the spring clip to open to a certain angle and form a match with the spring clip block of the drill bit part, and the torque of the downhole power tool is ultimately transmitted to the drill bit through the conversion joint, the spring clip, and the spring clip block.

[0012] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that, compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an internally driven coring drill bit for deep-sea drilling, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The upper bearing and the lower bearing are provided in the present invention, so that the upper drill string assembly can remain stationary when the drill bit is rotated by the bottom hole power drilling tool, effectively solving the problem that diamond drill bits cannot be used in deep sea drilling due to low rotation speed.

[0014] 2. The present invention forms an internally driven drill bit by connecting the joint part with the drill bit. Diamond drill bits or PDC drill bits can be used in deep-sea coring operations, thereby increasing the life of the drill bit in hard rock drilling, reducing the frequency of drill bit replacement, and effectively improving operation efficiency.
