Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of roller bits, and particularly relates to a high-efficiency rock-breaking roller bit. BACKGROUND

[0002] Roller bits, PDC bits, rotary drilling bits, etc. all belong to drilling tools, and can be used in the fields of geological drilling, stratum sampling, oil and gas field drilling, pile foundation excavation, pipeline construction, etc. The most common form of the roller bit is a three-roller bit, which is composed of a bit body, three blades, and a roller installed on each blade. Adjacent two blades have a chip groove, the bit body has a flow channel communicating with the chip groove, a nozzle is installed at the outlet of the flow channel, drilling fluid enters the flow channel of the bit from the drill string, and then is sprayed from the three nozzles for cleaning the rock cuttings generated by the bit drilling.

[0003] During drilling, if uneven geological strata are encountered, a pipe sticking accident is likely to occur. For example, in a broken rock stratum, hole wall falling blocks are likely to occur. In a soft stratum, hole wall shrinkage is likely to occur, resulting in a reduced drilling hole size. Pipe sticking will cause the bit to be stuck and unable to be pulled up, the bit is difficult to be pulled back in time, and the construction efficiency is affected.

[0004] The prior art has some solutions to the technical problem of pipe sticking, for example, a cutting tooth is arranged at the rear end of the blade, the tooth tip of the cutting tooth faces upward, and if a falling block or shrinkage is encountered during pipe pulling, the cutting tooth can break the obstacle. However, this structure has the following disadvantages: the roller bit is a consumable, and needs to be replaced when it is worn to a certain extent. The above-mentioned measure in the prior art arranges the cutting tooth at the rear end of the blade, which can prevent pipe sticking, but when the roller is worn, the entire roller bit needs to be replaced. Since pipe sticking is an event that occurs with a small probability, if a cutting tooth is arranged on each produced roller bit to prevent occasional pipe sticking, the production cost of the bit will be greatly increased due to the fact that the cutting tooth is made of expensive wear-resistant metal material. Moreover, in actual application, the bit may have been worn to a scrap level before a pipe sticking accident occurs. SUMMARY

[0005] Based on the above technical problem, the present application provides a high-efficiency rock-breaking roller bit, which aims to solve the problem that the production cost of a single bit is increased due to the measure of arranging a cutting tooth at the rear end of the roller bit in the prior art to prevent pipe sticking.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the following will be described with a high efficiency rock breaking roller bit provided by the embodiments of the application.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiments of the application provide a high efficiency rock breaking roller bit, which comprises a roller bit body 10, a centralizer 20 and a crushing assembly 30. The roller bit body 10 is a three-roller or other form of roller bit in the prior art, and a chip groove 11 is formed between two adjacent rollers. The inside of the roller bit body 10 has a flow channel for the flow of drilling fluid. The centralizer 20 comprises a connecting column 21 and a centralizing unit 22. The lower end of the connecting column 21 is detachably connected to the upper end of the roller bit body 10. The inside of the connecting column 21 is formed with a liquid inlet passage 214 that communicates with the internal flow channel of the roller bit. The centralizing unit 22 is coaxially arranged on the outer periphery of the connecting column 21. The crushing assembly 30 is arranged at the top of the centralizer 20. The crushing assembly 30 has a contracted state and an expanded state. When in the expanded state, the crushing diameter of the crushing assembly 30 is greater than or equal to the drilling diameter of the roller bit body 10.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the high efficiency rock breaking roller bit provided by the embodiments of the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] The high efficiency rock breaking roller bit provided by the embodiments of the application comprises a roller bit body 10, a centralizer 20 and a crushing assembly 30. The lower end of the centralizer 20 is detachably connected to the roller bit body 10 through the connecting column 21. The top of the centralizing unit 22 is provided with the crushing assembly 30. The centralizer 20 can drive the crushing assembly 30 to move or rotate together. When the drill string is stuck during the upward movement of the drill bit, the top of the centralizer 20 will contact the reduced diameter position. At this time, the reduced diameter position can be crushed by the crushing assembly 30. Since the crushing diameter of the crushing assembly 30 during operation is greater than or equal to the drilling diameter, the drilling diameter of the reduced diameter position after crushing by the crushing assembly 30 can be expanded to the same size as the original drilling size or larger, so that the centralizer 20 and the roller bit body 10 can pass smoothly, avoiding the delay of construction caused by the stuck drill string, and helping to improve the construction efficiency.

[0047] In this embodiment, the centralizer 20 and the roller cone drill body 10 are detachably connected, and the crushing component 30 is mounted on the centralizer 20. The roller cone drill body 10 can be replaced after wear and tear, while the centralizer 20 and the crushing component 30 can continue to be used. Since the centralizer 20 has a longer lifespan than the roller cone drill body 10, the crushing component 30 can function for a longer period. This design not only provides the roller cone drill bit with anti-jamming functionality, ensuring efficient construction, but also avoids a significant increase in production and operating costs due to the inclusion of the crushing component 30, achieving two goals at once.

[0048] The roller cone drill body 10 can be directly selected from existing roller cone drill bits on the market, such as tricone drill bits. The roller cone drill body 10 is detachably connected to the lower end of the connecting post 21, which can be done by means of threaded connection, etc. It can be replaced after it wears down to a certain extent.

[0049] The stabilizer 20 is used to conform to the inner wall of the borehole during the downward drilling of the roller cone drill body 10, providing alignment and guidance, which helps to improve the stability of the drilling process and the verticality of the borehole. The stabilizer 20 includes a connecting post 21 and a stabilizer unit 22, which can be fixedly connected as a whole by welding or other methods. The lower end of the connecting post 21 is used for detachable connection with the roller cone drill body 10, and the upper end of the connecting post 21 is used for connection with the drill rod.

[0050] The centering unit 22 is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting column 21. The diameter of the centering unit 22 is adapted to the borehole diameter, and it can fit and guide the borehole inner wall during drilling. The axial length of the centering unit 22 should not be less than the length of the roller cone drill body 10, which helps to prevent borehole axis deviation and ensures that the verticality of the borehole is within a reasonable range.

[0051] The crushing component 30 is positioned on top of the straightening unit 22, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The crushing component 30 has a contracted state and an expanded state. During normal drilling or lifting, the crushing component 30 is in the contracted state, the crushing unit 32 is not working, and the overall diameter of the crushing component 30 is smaller than the borehole diameter.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 When in the contracted state, the edge of the crushing assembly 30 is within the range of the contact portion 3114. When the diameter of the weak geological layer decreases, the upward movement of the centralizer 20 is hindered, and the contact portion 3114 is used to contact the inner wall of the borehole after the diameter decreases. After moving to the diameter decrease position, the crushing assembly 30 switches from the contracted state to the expanded state, and the crushing assembly 30 is rotated by the drill rod and the connecting column 21 to expand the hole at the diameter decrease position.

[0053] The broken assembly 30 can be radially contracted or expanded. Optionally, a hydraulic rod can be arranged at the top of the centralizing unit 22 to push the broken assembly 30 to move along the radius direction to contract or expand. Alternatively, a battery can be arranged inside the centralizing unit 22 to drive the broken assembly 30 to radially expand or contract through an electric telescopic rod or a motor.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 2 to 7 , in order to facilitate the installation of the broken assembly 30, the top of the centralizing unit 22 is provided with an annular adjusting cavity around the connecting column 21, the sidewall of the liquid inlet channel 214 is provided with a liquid outlet hole 211 and a liquid inlet hole 212 respectively communicating with the adjusting cavity, the liquid outlet hole 211 is located above the liquid inlet hole 212, and the liquid inlet channel 214 is provided with a separation part 213 for separating the liquid inlet hole 212 and the liquid outlet hole 211. During normal drilling, the drilling fluid enters the liquid inlet channel 214 through the drill pipe and flows along the path shown by the arrow. The specific flow path is the liquid inlet channel 214, the liquid outlet hole 211, the adjusting cavity, the liquid inlet hole 212, the liquid inlet channel 214, the internal flow channel of the roller bit body 10, and the drilling fluid nozzle. Figure 3

[0055] The broken assembly 30 includes a hydraulic drive unit 31 and a plurality of broken units 32. The hydraulic drive unit 31 is arranged at the top of the centralizer 20, the lower part of the hydraulic drive unit 31 is in sliding fit with the adjusting cavity and has a pressure chamber 3111; the upper part of the hydraulic drive unit 31 has a contact part 3114 with the same diameter as the centralizer 20; the hydraulic drive unit 31 has an upper dead point and a lower dead point, when at the upper dead point, the pressure chamber 3111 is arranged above and below the liquid outlet hole 211 and the liquid inlet hole 212 respectively, when at the lower dead point, the pressure chamber 3111 is in communication with the liquid outlet hole 211 and is arranged above the liquid inlet hole 212; the plurality of broken units 32 are arranged above the contact part 3114 in a circumferential direction, and the hydraulic drive unit 31 is used to drive the plurality of broken units 32 to move along the radius direction of the contact part 3114.

[0056] The hydraulic drive unit 31 can move up and down, as shown in Figure 3 , during normal downward drilling or upward recovery of the drilling tool, the hydraulic drive unit 31 is at the upper dead point position, the pressure chamber 3111 of the hydraulic drive unit 31 is not in communication with the liquid outlet hole 211, no drilling fluid enters, and the hydraulic drive unit 31 does not work.

[0057] When moving to the reduced diameter position, the protruding hole wall pushes the hydraulic drive unit 31 to move downward due to the resistance of the upward lifting of the centralizing unit 22, so that the hydraulic drive unit 31 moves from the upper dead point to Figure 4 and Figure 5 ​The lower dead point position is shown. The pressure chamber 3111 communicates with the outlet hole 211, and the high-pressure drilling fluid enters the pressure chamber 3111 through the outlet hole 211, and the hydraulic drive unit 31 is driven to expand outward under the push of the high-pressure drilling fluid. The drill rod and the connecting column 21 rotate to drive the crushing unit 32 to crush the reduced diameter position of the inner wall of the borehole.

[0058] After the reaming is completed, the obstruction of the hydraulic drive unit 31 by the hole wall disappears, and the hydraulic drive unit 31 can be reset to the upper dead point by an external driving member (such as a hydraulic push rod, an electric push rod, etc.).

[0059] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 , the hydraulic drive unit 31 includes a mounting seat 311, a piston 312 and a first elastic member 313. The mounting seat 311 is arranged at the top of the centralizer 20, the lower part of the mounting seat 311 is in sliding fit with the adjusting cavity, and the mounting seat 311 and the connecting column 21 together enclose the pressure chamber 3111, the upper part of the mounting seat 311 extends to the outside of the adjusting cavity and encloses the sliding cavity 3112 together with the connecting column 21, the mounting seat 311 has a flow hole 3113 communicating the adjusting cavity and the sliding cavity 3112, the side wall of the sliding cavity 3112 is provided with a plurality of installation grooves penetrating the wall thickness thereof in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of crushing units 32 are arranged in the installation grooves one by one.

[0060] The piston 312 is annular, and the piston 312 is in sliding fit in the sliding cavity 3112, the upper part of the piston 312 is a conical surface 3121, and the conical surface 3121 is in contact with the side of the crushing unit 32 extending to the sliding cavity 3112; the first elastic member 313 is arranged between the mounting seat 311 and the centralizing unit 22, and is configured to have a supporting force to keep the mounting seat 311 at the upper dead point position. The first elastic member 313 can be a spring or an elastic telescopic rod with a built-in spring. The mounting seat 311 and the piston 312 can move up and down, but cannot rotate.

[0061] As shown in Figure 7 , one end of the elastic telescopic rod is connected with the mounting seat 311, and the other end is connected with the centralizing unit 22. In order to make the stress uniform and the support more stable, a plurality of elastic telescopic rods can be arranged in the circumferential direction.

[0062] In order to improve the sealing performance, a sealing ring or a sealing ring can be arranged between the piston 312 and the inner wall of the sliding cavity 3112, and between the lower part of the mounting seat 311 and the adjusting cavity. The sealing ring and the sealing ring are both common sealing elements, and existing products on the market can be directly selected.

[0063] The mounting base 311 also has a contact portion 3114 for contacting the reduced diameter position of the hole wall, the contact portion 3114 and the top of the centralizing unit 22 correspond in shape and size, so that the contact portion 3114 is formed with a recess corresponding to the outlet of the debris passage 221 top, so as to facilitate the discharge of rock debris and drilling fluid. The connecting column 21 has a limiting ring 23 located at the upper stop position of the mounting base 311, for limiting the mounting base 311, preventing the mounting base 311 from continuing to move upward.

[0064] During the lifting process, the contact portion 3114 contacts the protruding hole wall, the contact portion 3114 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 313, drives the entire mounting base 311 to move downward to the lower stop point, the high-pressure drilling fluid enters the pressure chamber 3111, and passes through the overflow hole 3113 into the sliding cavity 3112, drives the piston 312 to move upward, the conical surface 3121 of the piston 312 can push the plurality of crushing units 32 to expand outward until abutting against the inner wall of the borehole. The drill rod and the centralizer 20 drive the crushing unit 32 to rotate to ream the reduced diameter position. After the reaming is completed, under the support of the first elastic member 313, the hydraulic drive unit 31 is reset upward to the upper stop point, and the pressure chamber 3111 is no longer in communication with the outlet hole 211.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 5 , the crushing unit 32 includes a crushing tooth 321 and a second elastic member 322, the crushing tooth 321 can be divided into a moving portion 3211 in sliding fit with the mounting groove, and a crushing portion 3212 facing the hole wall according to function, the moving portion 3211 has an inclined surface in contact with the conical surface 3121, the piston 312 moves upward, which can push the moving portion 3211 to expand outward through the conical surface 3121, so that the crushing portion 3212 abuts against the hole wall. The crushing portion 3212 is used for crushing the rock of the inner wall of the borehole. The second elastic member 322 is arranged between the moving portion 3211 and the mounting base 311, and is configured to have a pre-tightening force for moving the crushing tooth 321 to the central axis of the mounting base 311.

[0066] The crushing tooth 321 can be a common structure for rock crushing such as a roller and a PDC cutting tooth, which has the same material as the existing roller or PDC cutting tooth, high hardness and high wear resistance, and can crush rocks.

[0067] The second elastic member 322 can be a spring or other member capable of elastic expansion, when the mounting base 311 is reset from the lower stop point to the upper stop point, the piston 312 will fall under the action of gravity after the hydraulic pressure disappears, and the crushing tooth 321 will reset to the contracted state under the pre-tightening force of the second elastic member 322.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The side wall of the sliding cavity 3112 is provided with a plurality of pressure relief holes 3115 spaced along the circumference thereof, the pressure relief holes 3115 penetrating the wall thickness thereof, the pressure relief holes 3115 being located between two adjacent crushing teeth 321, the pressure relief holes 3115 being arranged at a position lower than the highest position to which the piston 312 can move, and specifically, the pressure relief holes 3115 being arranged at the lowermost position of the side wall of the sliding cavity 3112, so as to prevent the pressure relief holes 3115 from being blocked by the piston 312 and failing to smoothly release pressure.

[0069] Since the drilling fluid enters the sliding cavity 3112 from the flow holes 3113 and is discharged from the pressure relief holes 3115, in order to ensure that the piston 312 is lifted by the sufficient pressure in the sliding cavity 3112, the diameter of the pressure relief holes 3115 should not be too large. Specifically, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of pressure relief holes 3115 should be less than or equal to the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of flow holes 3113.

[0070] The arrangement of the pressure relief holes 3115 can not only discharge the drilling fluid remaining in the sliding cavity 3112 after the reaming is completed, but also, since the pressure relief holes 3115 are located between two adjacent crushing teeth 321, when the reaming unit 32 reams the hole wall, the drilling fluid will be sprayed from the pressure relief holes 3115, carrying away the rock debris generated by crushing, thereby playing a role of chip removal.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 The outer circumferential surface of the stabilizing unit 22 is provided with a spiral-shaped chip removal channel 221, the chip removal channel 221 penetrating the stabilizing unit 22 from top to bottom, and the lower end of the chip removal channel 221 is in one-to-one correspondence with the chip removal groove 11 of the roller bit body 10, so that the chip removal is smooth. When a three-cone bit body is used, three chip removal channels 221 are provided.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 1 The surface between two adjacent chip removal channels 221 is defined as a gage protection portion 222, the outer surface of the gage protection portion 222 is provided with a plurality of gage protection teeth 223, and the plurality of gage protection teeth 223 are uniformly arranged on the outer surface of the gage protection portion 222. The gage protection teeth 223 can continuously cut and clean the hole wall when the stabilizing unit 22 rotates, thereby ensuring the consistency of the size and specification of the hole.

[0074] The shape, structure and arrangement of the gage protection teeth 223 are not specifically limited, and the user can arrange them as needed.
