Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of drilling equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a telescopic blade PDC drill bit. Background Technology

[0002] Drill bits are a major component of drilling equipment. Their main function is to break rocks and form wellbores. They are used in the oil and gas, geological exploration, and drilling industries.

[0003] PDC drill bits are tools that use polycrystalline diamond composite blades as cutting elements to break rocks through scraping. Conventional PDC drill bits have fixed blades, and the number of blades on the bit is determined by the formation conditions. In other words, different formations often require drill bits with different numbers and structures of blades to maximize drilling efficiency. PDC drill bits suitable for hard, difficult-to-drill formations have more blades, allowing for more cutting teeth and increasing the drill bit's lifespan in these formations; however, this reduces the drill bit's ability to penetrate the formation. PDC drill bits suitable for medium-soft formations can improve their penetration ability and rock-breaking efficiency by reducing the tooth density, but this negatively impacts their lifespan. When encountering formations with significant lithological variations during drilling, a single drill bit's blade number and cutting structure cannot simultaneously match multiple formations. In this case, neither drill bit lifespan nor rock-breaking efficiency can be guaranteed, requiring frequent tripping and bit replacement, which undoubtedly prolongs the drilling cycle and increases drilling costs. Therefore, traditional PDC drill bits have difficulty simultaneously improving both mechanical drilling speed and drill bit life in heterogeneous formations, and they are poorly adaptable to formations with significant lithological variations.

[0041] The present application will be described below by means of the drawings.

[0043] Figure 1 A structure of a telescopic blade PDC drill bit 100 according to the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the telescopic blade PDC drill bit 100 comprises an outer barrel 20, a fixed blade 13, a movable blade 11 and a telescopic mechanism 30.

[0044] At least one fixed blade 13 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the outer barrel 20, and at least one movable blade 11 is slidingly arranged.

[0045] The telescopic mechanism 30 is arranged inside the outer cylinder 20, specifically, the telescopic mechanism 30 is arranged in the liquid flow channel 15 inside the outer cylinder 20, and the lower end of the telescopic mechanism 30 is connected with the movable blade wing 11. The telescopic mechanism 30 is arranged to be able to control the telescopic movement of the movable blade wing 11 along the axial direction in response to the pressure of the drilling fluid, so as to make the movable blade wing 11 in the working state or the non-working state.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the outer cylinder 20 comprises an upper joint 1, an outer shell 5, a lower joint 7 and a drill bit body 110 which are coaxially and fixedly connected from top to bottom.

[0047] An external thread is arranged at the upper end of the upper joint 1 for connecting with other downhole tools. An internal thread is arranged at the lower end of the upper joint 1, and an internal thread is arranged at the upper end of the outer shell 5. The upper joint 1 and the outer shell 5 are fixedly connected through the threads. An internal thread is arranged at the lower end of the outer shell 5, and an external thread is arranged at the upper end of the lower joint 7. The outer shell 5 and the lower joint 7 are fixedly connected through the threads. The drill bit body 110 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the lower joint 7.

[0048] A nozzle 12 is arranged at the lower end of the drill bit body 110, which is communicated with the liquid flow channel 15. The drilling fluid can flow to the outside of the telescopic blade wing PDC drill bit 100 through the liquid flow channel 15 and the nozzle 12.

[0049] A plurality of fixed blade wings 13 are uniformly arranged at the lower end of the drill bit body 110 in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of cutting teeth 10 are arranged on the fixed blade wings 13. A plurality of movable blade wings 11 are uniformly arranged on the drill bit body 110 in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of cutting teeth 10 are arranged on the movable blade wings 11. Each movable blade wing 11 is arranged on the drill bit body 110 in a sealing sliding connection along the direction of the central axis, and the movable blade wing 11 is fixedly connected with the telescopic mechanism 30. The tooth profile of the fixed blade wing 13 and the movable blade wing 11 and the cutting teeth 10 arranged thereon can be designed according to the blade wing in the prior art.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the cutting teeth 10 arranged on the movable blade wing 11 and the fixed blade wing 13 are PDC teeth, rotary cutting teeth, buffer teeth, roller teeth or a combination of several kinds of cutting teeth, which can cope with different formation conditions.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, a baffle (not shown in the figure) for restraining the circumferential deformation of the movable blade wing 11 is arranged on the drill bit body 110, and the number of the baffles is the same as the number of the movable blade wings 11.

[0052] In the present application, as Figures 1-3 and Figure 12As shown, the telescopic mechanism 30 comprises a core pipe 14 coaxially slidingly arranged in the outer cylinder 20, and the lower end of the core pipe 14 is fixedly connected with the movable blade 11. At least one through hole 111 is arranged on the movable blade 11 in the radial direction, and a pin hole 140 corresponding to the through hole 111 is arranged on the core pipe 14. When the movable blade 11 and the core pipe 14 are fixed to each other, the lower end surface of the movable blade 11 axially abuts against the lower end of the core pipe 14, the through hole 111 of the movable blade 11 coincides with the axis of the pin hole 140 of the core pipe 14, the pin shaft 8 enters from the outside of the movable blade 11 along the through hole 111 inwardly, and finally enters the pin hole 140 of the core pipe 14, and a part of the length of the pin shaft 8 is located in the pin hole 140, and the other part of the length of the pin shaft 8 is located in the through hole 111.

[0053] In order to enhance the connection strength of the core pipe 14 and the movable blade 11, a plurality of pin holes 140 and through holes 111 can be arranged.

[0054] Specifically, the core pipe 14 comprises a large-diameter part 143 and a small-diameter part 142 which are coaxially fixedly connected. The inner diameters of the small-diameter part 142 and the large-diameter part 143 are equal, and the outer diameter of the large-diameter part 143 is larger than the outer diameter of the small-diameter part 142.

[0055] The upper end of the lower joint 7 extends to the inside of the outer housing 5, that is, the upper end of the lower joint 7 has an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the lower end of the outer housing 5. The outer wall of the large-diameter part 143 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer housing 5, and the outer wall of the small-diameter part 142 is in contact with the inner wall of the lower joint 7.

[0056] An annular space is formed between the large-diameter part 143, the small-diameter part 142, the lower joint 7 and the outer housing 5, and the elastic member 6 is arranged in the annular space. Specifically, the elastic member 6 is coaxially sleeved on the small-diameter part 142, and the axially opposite ends of the elastic member 6 abut against the large-diameter part 143 and the lower joint 7, respectively.

[0057] In one specific embodiment, the elastic member 6 can adopt any one of a spring, a disc spring and rubber.

[0058] When the movable blade 11 is in a non-working state, the upper end of the core pipe 14 axially abuts against the upper joint 1 under the action of the force of the elastic member 6, and at the same time, the upper end of the movable blade 11 axially abuts against the lower joint 7, that is, the position relationship shown. Figure 2 Preferably, at this time, the height difference between the working end surfaces of the movable blade 11 and the fixed blade 13 is 0-5 mm, that is, the lowermost end of the movable blade 11 is higher than the lowermost end of the fixed blade 13, and the height difference between the lowermost end of the movable blade 11 and the lowermost end of the fixed blade 13 is greater than zero and less than 5 mm, at this time, only the fixed blade 13 participates in rock breaking work, and drilling is carried out.

[0059] When the movable blade 11 is in working state, the height difference between the working end face of the movable blade 11 and the fixed blade 13 is zero, at this time, the movable blade 11 and the fixed blade 13 jointly drill the stratum.

[0060] According to the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the slip ring shaft 4 is coaxially arranged on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 20, and the groove wheel assembly 9 is coaxially fixed on the core pipe 14 and matched with the slip ring shaft 4. The groove wheel assembly 9 can be fixed with the core pipe 14 by integral molding, or can be separately processed and then fixedly connected.

[0061] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the groove wheel assembly 9 includes the upper groove wheel 91 and the lower groove wheel 92 which are coaxially fixedly connected, a plurality of first slopes 910 are uniformly arranged on the lower end of the upper groove wheel 91 in the circumferential direction, a plurality of second slopes 920 are uniformly arranged on the upper end of the lower groove wheel 92 in the circumferential direction, and the inclination directions of the first slopes 910 and the second slopes 920 are opposite. A space for accommodating the slip ring shaft 4 is left between the first slopes 910 and the second slopes 920, and the movement track of the slip ring shaft 4 between the first slopes 910 and the second slopes 920 is as Figures 7-11 shown, which will be described in detail below.

[0062] As Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, the low-position groove 921 and the high-position groove 922 are respectively arranged at both ends of each second slope 920, that is, the low-position grooves 921 and the high-position grooves 922 are alternately arranged in sequence. At the same time, the low-position grooves 921 and the high-position grooves 922 correspond to the inclined surfaces of the adjacent two first slopes 910 respectively.

[0063] In combination with Figure 2 and Figures 7-11 , the working principle of the groove wheel assembly 9 and the slip ring shaft 4 is as follows.

[0064] Figure 2 The core pipe 14 and the movable blade 11 in the state of contraction, that is, the movable blade 11 is in a non-working state, at this time, the position relationship between the groove wheel assembly 9 and the slip ring shaft 4 is as Figure 7 shown, the slip ring shaft 4 is located in the low-position groove 921.

[0065] When it is needed to extend the movable blade 11, that is, the movable blade 11 works together with the fixed blade 13, the pressure of the drilling fluid in the flow channel 15 is increased, and the core pipe 14 moves downward relative to the outer cylinder 20 in response to the pressure of the drilling fluid to compress the elastic member 6. Since the core pipe 14 is fixedly connected with the groove wheel assembly 9, and the slip ring shaft 4 is axially fixed and axially rotatable relative to the outer cylinder 20, at this time, the groove wheel assembly 9 moves along Figure 7the arrow direction in the figure moves downward relative to the slip ring shaft 4, and moves to the abutment of the slip ring shaft 4 and the first slope 910, as shown in Figure 8 .

[0066] The sheave assembly 9 continues to move downward, at this time, the slip ring shaft 4 rotates in the circumferential direction under the action of the slope of the first slope 910, that is, the slip ring shaft 4 moves to the right in the figure, until the slip ring shaft 4 moves to between the adjacent two first slopes 910, as shown in Figure 9 . Figure 9

[0067] Then, the drilling fluid pressure in the flow passage 15 is lowered, the core tube 14 starts to reset upward under the action of the elastic member 6, at the same time, the sheave assembly 9 also moves upward, as shown in Figure 10 , the sheave assembly 9 moves upward relative to the slip ring shaft 4 along the arrow direction in the figure, until the slip ring shaft 4 contacts the second slope 920.

[0068] The sheave assembly 9 moves upward, at this time, the slip ring shaft 4 rotates in the circumferential direction under the action of the slope of the second slope 920, that is, the slip ring shaft 4 moves to the right in the figure, until the slip ring shaft 4 moves to the high-position groove 922. At this time, the core tube 14 drives the movable blade 11 to move downward to be flush with the fixed blade 13, and the movable blade 11 is fixed. Figure 11

[0069] When it is needed to retract the movable blade 11, that is, only the fixed blade 13 is needed to work, the drilling fluid pressure in the flow passage 15 is again raised and lowered in sequence, and the similar operation process is repeated, so that the slip ring shaft 4 is located in the low-position groove 921.

[0070] The above process is repeated, since the sheave assembly 9 is connected with the core tube 14, and the core tube 14 is connected with the movable blade 11, thus, the position change of the core tube 14 and the sheave assembly 9 can realize the free switching of the extended and retracted states of the movable blade 11.

[0071] By setting the height difference between the high-position groove 922 and the low-position groove 921, the height difference between the movable blade 11 and the fixed blade 13 in the non-working state can be controlled.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, in order to enable the movable blade 11 to have different extension amounts to realize different relative working heights of the movable blade 11 and the fixed blade 13, the lower sheave 92 can be provided with multiple sets of different limit positions (sets of high-position grooves 922 and low-position grooves 921 with different height differences), preferably 1-3 sets.

[0073] In a specific embodiment, in order to enable the core tube 14 to respond to the pressure of the drilling fluid, as shown in Figure 2 ​​As shown in the figure, a differential pressure surface 141 is arranged at the upper end of the core pipe 14 to respond to the pressure of the drilling fluid. The pressure receiving area of the upper end of the core pipe 14 is larger than that of the lower end, so when the core pipe 14 is in a pressure environment, the pressure difference between the upper and lower ends of the core pipe 14 is greater than the elastic force of the elastic member 6, and the core pipe 14 can overcome the force of the elastic member 6 and move downward.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the sliding ring 2 is arranged coaxially on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 20, and at least one sliding ring shaft 4 is arranged on the inner wall of the sliding ring 2, and the central axis of the sliding ring shaft 4 coincides with the diameter of the sliding ring 2. In this embodiment, three sliding ring shafts 4 are uniformly arranged on the inner wall of the sliding ring 2 in the circumferential direction, so that the sliding ring shaft 4 is more stable when matched with the groove wheel assembly 9.

[0075] The sliding ring shaft 4 and the sliding ring 2 can be integrally formed, or the sliding ring shaft 4 and the sliding ring 2 can be connected by welding or interference fit.

[0076] It is easy to understand that although three sliding ring shafts 4 are arranged in this embodiment, the present application is not limited to arranging three sliding ring shafts 4, and those skilled in the art can change the number of sliding ring shafts 4 according to the present application in combination with the actual situation. It is easy to understand that the number of the first slope 910 and the second slope 920 of the groove wheel assembly 9 also changes according to the number of the sliding ring shaft 4. Such changes should be within the scope of the present application.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The sliding ring shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the sliding ring 2 through the bearing 3. The rotation axis of the sliding ring shaft 4 coincides with the diameter of the sliding ring 2. In this arrangement, when the sliding ring shaft 4 moves along the first slope 910 and the second slope 920, the friction between them can be reduced.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, the sliding ring shaft 4 and the sliding ring 2 are arranged between the connection gap of the upper joint 1 and the outer shell 5. Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The upper end of the sliding ring 2 is in contact with the upper joint 1, the lower end of the sliding ring 2 is in contact with the outer shell 5, and the outer wall of the sliding ring 2 is in contact with the upper joint 1. Through this arrangement, the installation and disassembly of the sliding ring 2 can be facilitated.
