Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum and geological drilling tools, in particular to a ridge-roller linkage self-cleaning anti-sticking PDC drill bit. Background Art

[0002] At present, rotary drilling bits including PDC teeth as cutting teeth are widely used in the fields of petroleum, geology, etc. This type of drill bit is referred to as PDC drill bit. PDC drill bit is a commonly used drilling tool in the geological drilling industry and is the main tool for breaking rocks during oil and gas drilling. It has the advantages of high mechanical penetration rate and long drill bit footage life. During the drilling process, there are often fragments falling from the well wall due to unstable formations. The fragments fall to the bottom of the well and accumulate in the gap between the drill bit gauge surface and the well wall, causing the friction between the well wall and the drill bit to increase, which can easily cause the drill bit to get stuck. However, since the falling of fragments from the well wall and the deposition of cuttings are inevitable, it is necessary to design a PDC drill bit that prevents drilling from getting stuck.

Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a ridge roller linkage self-cleaning anti-stuck PDC drill bit includes a joint 1, a threaded interface 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the joint 1, and a drill bit body 5. The inner wall of the joint 1 is provided with a drill bit threaded opening, and the joint 1 is threadedly connected to the drill bit body 5 through the drill bit threaded opening. A ridge ring 3 is rotatably mounted on the bottom outer wall of the joint 1, and a roller cutter 4 is connected to the bottom of the ridge ring 3. The roller cutter 4 can roll the surface of the well wall to stabilize the drill bit and trim the well wall, and can also roll and crush the well wall blocks, effectively reducing the risk of stuck drill bits due to block drops. The inner wall of the roller cutter 4 is rotatably connected to the assembly surface of the roller cutter 4, and the roller cutter 4 is connected to the drill bit body 5 through the assembly surface, and the roller cutter 4 can rotate freely relative to the drill bit body 5.

[0032] A plurality of teeth 6 are provided on the outer wall of the drum cutter 4, and the teeth 6 improve the efficiency of crushing fallen fragments and rock chips.

[0033] The drum cutter 4 is internally provided with a chip removal groove 7. The chip removal groove 7 has a chip removal function, and the fragments and rock cuttings can directly enter the free space in the drill bit body 5 along the chip removal groove, significantly reducing the risk of drill sticking.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ridge ring 3 includes a ridge block 3-1, an arc surface 3-2 and a ridge slope 3-3, the ridge block 3-1 is arranged on the outer wall of the ridge ring 3, the arc surface 3-2 is installed on the top of the ridge block 3-1, and the ridge slope 3-3 is installed in the middle of the ridge block 3-1.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the arc surface 3-2 is a smooth surface.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a wear-resistant surface is installed on the outer wall of the drum knife 4.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the portion of the teeth 6 that is higher than the surface of the drum cutter 4 is trapezoidal, which stabilizes the drill bit and also trims the well wall.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the teeth 6 are PDC teeth.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a polycrystalline diamond composite sheet is embedded on the back of the ridge-shaped block 3 - 1 .

[0040] Working principle of this device:

[0041] When the drilling rig is started, the drill pipe drives the joint 1 to rotate, and the joint 1 drives the ridge ring 3 to rotate together. In the process of the drill bit drilling into the formation, the rock in the formation is broken by the drill bit and produces fragments and rock chips. At this time, the ridge block 3-1 on the ridge ring 3 plays a role. The arc surface 3-2 on the top of the ridge block 3-1 and the ridge slope 3-3 in the middle will move and discharge the fallen fragments and rock chips to both sides to prevent them from accumulating in front of the drill bit. At the same time, the roller cutter 4 also starts to work, and the fragments and rock chips discharged to both sides are further crushed by the teeth 6 on the roller cutter 4. At the same time, the roller cutter 4 can also trim the well wall during the crushing process. The crushed fragments and rock chips will enter the free space in the drill body 5 along the chip discharge groove 7. In this way, the fallen pieces and rock chips will not accumulate and squeeze on the front end face of the drill body 5, and it is also avoided to be squeezed into the gap between the gauge surface and the well wall, thereby greatly reducing the risk of stuck drill.

[0042] The present application also provides an application method of the above-mentioned ridge roller linkage self-cleaning anti-sticking PDC drill bit, comprising the following steps:

[0043] S1. Before drilling, connect the entire drill bit to the drill pipe through the threaded interface 2 at the top of the joint 1 to ensure that it is tightly connected.

[0044] S2. Start the drilling rig, the drill rod drives the joint 1 to rotate, and the joint 1 in turn drives the ridge ring 3 to rotate; the ridge block 3-1 on the ridge ring 3 guides the fallen blocks and gravel to both sides through the arc surface 3-2 and the ridge slope 3-3; at the same time, the roller cutter 4 rotates, and the teeth 6 crush the fallen blocks and rock chips; the crushed blocks and rock chips enter the free space in the drill bit body 5 through the chip discharge groove 7 to prevent the drill from getting stuck.

[0045] S3. After the drilling operation is completed, the drill bit is taken out of the well, cleaned, and the rock cuttings and mud attached to the surface are removed; the wear of the ridge block 3-1, the drum cutter 4, the teeth 6, and the chip groove 7 are checked. If there is severe wear, replace or repair it in time.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can still adjust the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features by equivalents. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
