Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of gauge-maintaining drill bits, and in particular to a polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and a gauge-maintaining drill bit. Background Technology
[0002] Gauge-maintaining drill bits are drill bits designed with special gauge-maintaining structures to keep the wellbore diameter constant during drilling, preventing wellbore shrinkage or deformation. Polycrystalline diamond composite sheets are frequently used in both the cutting and gauge-maintaining sections of gauge-maintaining drill bits, specifically cutting composite sheet 01 and gauge-maintaining composite sheet 02. See also... Figure 1 The existing cutting composite plate 01 and gauge-maintaining composite plate 02 have basically the same structure. However, their installation states differ. The tail end of the cutting composite plate 01 is brazed to the head end of the drill bit body, meaning the carbide substrate of the cutting composite plate 01 is brazed to the head end of the steel drill bit body. The head end of the cutting composite plate 01 does not contact the drill bit body; while the gauge-maintaining composite plate 02 is embedded in the side wall of the drill bit body, not extending beyond it. The carbide substrate of the gauge-maintaining composite plate 02 is also brazed to the drill bit body. However, the polycrystalline diamond layer does not wet the brazing filler. A gap remains between the polycrystalline diamond layer of the gauge-maintaining composite plate 02 and the drill bit body; the polycrystalline diamond layer of the gauge-maintaining composite plate 02 is easily chipped at the edges due to compression, causing premature failure of the gauge-maintaining composite plate 02. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and a gauge-maintaining drill bit.
[0004] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A polycrystalline diamond composite sheet includes an integral diamond layer and a matrix; the diamond layer and the matrix are formed by high-pressure and high-temperature sintering; the top center of the matrix is provided with an insert groove that matches the diamond layer, for holding the diamond powder used to form the diamond layer; after the diamond powder enters the insert groove, it is sintered under high temperature and high pressure to form a state in which the diamond layer is embedded in the insert groove; the top surface of the diamond layer does not exceed the opening of the insert groove; the top edge of the matrix is brazed to the drill bit body instead of the existing diamond layer, avoiding gaps between the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and the drill bit body, and reducing the probability of chipping at the top edge of the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet.
[0005] Preferably, the mounting groove is concentric with the substrate to ensure that the diamond layer is concentric with the substrate and to ensure uniform wear of the diamond layer.

Several mounting posts extend upwards and outwards from the top center of the drill bit body. The cutting composite sheet B is obliquely positioned at the top of the mounting posts to achieve the effect of cutting the central soil block. The cutting composite sheet B is positioned lower than the cutting composite sheet A, so that the outer soil block is cut before the central soil block. The cutting composite sheets A and B are oriented in the same direction to ensure that both the outer and central soil blocks can be cut.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting columns are positioned between adjacent mounting blocks so that the central soil block can be discharged along the gap between the adjacent mounting blocks.
[0010] Preferably, a guide ramp is provided on the other side of the top of the mounting block to guide the cut outer soil block.
[0011] Furthermore, a guide cone surface is provided between adjacent mounting blocks to guide the cut soil blocks.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower middle part of the drill bit body is provided with a cavity; the guide cone surface is provided with a guide hole that communicates with the cavity; the guide hole introduces the chopped soil into the cavity for soil discharge.
[0013] Furthermore, the lower part of the cavity is provided with internal threads for connection to the outside.
[0014] Furthermore, the guide hole is set perpendicular to the guide cone surface to facilitate guiding the chopped soil blocks.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The polycrystalline diamond composite sheet of the present invention has the following advantages: (1) The top edge of the substrate of the present invention replaces the existing diamond layer and is brazed to the drill bit body, thereby avoiding gaps between the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and the drill bit body and reducing the probability of chipping at the top edge of the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet; (2) The chamfer A of the present invention increases the space for filling brazing filler and improves the brazing connection strength; the chamfer B increases the convenience of embedding polycrystalline diamond composite sheet into the drill body of the drill bit on the one hand, and increases the space for filling brazing filler on the other hand, thus improving the brazing connection strength.

[0018] Example 1: See Figure 2-4 A polycrystalline diamond composite sheet includes an integral diamond layer 11 and a substrate 12. The diamond layer 11 and the substrate 12 are formed by high-pressure and high-temperature sintering. The top center of the substrate 12 is provided with an insert groove 121 that matches the diamond layer 11, which is used to hold the diamond powder that forms the diamond layer 11. After the diamond powder enters the insert groove 121, it is sintered under high temperature and high pressure to form a state in which the diamond layer 11 is embedded in the insert groove 121. The top surface of the diamond layer 11 does not exceed the opening of the insert groove 121. The top edge of the substrate 12 is brazed to the drill bit body 2 instead of the existing diamond layer 11, so as to avoid gaps between the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and the drill bit body 2 and reduce the probability of chipping at the top edge of the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses the top edge of the substrate 12 to replace the existing diamond layer 11 and braze it to the drill bit body 2, thereby avoiding gaps between the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and the drill bit body 2 and reducing the probability of chipping at the top edge of the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet.
[0020] The top edge of the substrate 12 is provided with a chamfered edge 122 to increase the space for filling the brazing filler and improve the brazing connection strength.
[0021] The bottom edge of the substrate 12 is provided with a chamfer 123, which on the one hand increases the convenience of embedding the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet into the drill bit body 2, and on the other hand increases the space for filling brazing filler, thereby improving the brazing connection strength.
[0022] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The top edge of the substrate 12 replaces the existing diamond layer 11 and is brazed to the drill bit body 2, avoiding gaps between the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and the drill bit body 2, and reducing the probability of chipping at the top edge of the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet; chamfer A 122 increases the space for filling brazing filler and improves the brazing connection strength; chamfer B 123 increases the convenience of embedding the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet into the drill bit body 2 on the one hand, and increases the space for filling brazing filler on the other hand, thus improving the brazing connection strength.
[0023] Example 2: Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that the mounting groove 121 is concentric with the substrate 12, which can ensure that the diamond layer 11 is concentric with the substrate 12 and ensure that the diamond layer 11 is worn evenly.
[0024] Example 3, see Figure 5-8 A gauge-maintaining drill bit including the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet described in Embodiment 1 further includes a drill bit body 2, a cutting composite sheet A 3, and a cutting composite sheet B 4; a plurality of mounting blocks 21 are distributed circumferentially along the top edge of the drill bit body 2; the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet is mounted on the outer side of the mounting block 21 to achieve the gauge-maintaining effect; the cutting composite sheet A 3 is obliquely mounted on one side edge of the top of the mounting block 21 to achieve the effect of cutting the outer soil block; a plurality of mounting posts 22 extend upward and outward from the top center of the drill bit body 2; the cutting composite sheet B 4 is obliquely set at the top of the mounting post 22 to achieve the effect of cutting the central soil block; the cutting composite sheet B 4 is set lower than the cutting composite sheet A 3, so that the outer soil block is cut before the central soil block; the cutting composite sheet A 3 and the cutting composite sheet B 4 are oriented in the same direction to ensure that both the outer soil block and the central soil block can be cut.
[0025] The mounting column 22 is positioned between adjacent mounting blocks 21 so that the central soil block can be discharged through the gap between the adjacent mounting blocks 21.
[0026] The top of the mounting block 21 has a guide slope 25 on the other side to guide the cut outer soil block.
[0027] A guide cone surface 23 is provided between adjacent mounting blocks 21 to guide the cut soil blocks.
[0028] The lower middle part of the drill bit body 2 is provided with a cavity 24; the guide cone surface 23 is provided with a guide hole 231 that communicates with the cavity 24; the guide hole 231 introduces the chopped soil into the cavity 24 for soil discharge.
[0029] The lower part of cavity 24 is provided with internal threads for connection with the outside.
[0030] The guide hole 231 is set perpendicular to the guide cone surface 23 to facilitate the guidance of the chopped soil blocks.
[0031] The cavity 24 is concentrically set with the base 12 to ensure that the shredded soil blocks enter the cavity 24 evenly.
