6. The drilling calculation and analysis method for impregnated diamond drill bits according to claim 3, characterized in that, The specific process for determining the interrelationships of the parameters in step 5 is as follows: Step 5.1.1: Determine the coefficient of variation ε of the contact area between the diamond and the rock. ε The value reflects the strength of the diamond compression core's ability to break rocks, and increases the drilling pressure per unit area. F If the diamond core's ability to compress and break rocks is enhanced, then... ε The value decreases. ε Value and F The relationship between the values is calculated using the following formula: ; ε The value reflects the amount of diamond worn per revolution. δ d Amount of wear per revolution of the tire body δ T The relationship, when ε When =1.0, h = h S Diamond compression cores are ineffective at breaking rocks; the rock-breaking effect is extremely poor, with only a small advance per revolution. δ The value is relatively low, so we can assume that the correspondence is relatively low. δ d = δ T To determine the critical parameter value for whether a drill bit can self-sharpen, when ε When <1.0, δ d < δ T The drill bit can sharpen itself when ε When >1.0, δ d = δ T Drill bits cannot sharpen themselves, therefore, when ε When ≤ 1.0, diamond wear per revolution δ d Amount of wear per revolution of the tire body δ T The ratio of them is calculated using the following formula: ; ε The value is related to the abrasion resistance of the matrix of impregnated diamond drill bits, and the drilling pressure per unit area. F Under certain conditions, the amount of wear per revolution of the tire body δ T It is inversely proportional to the carcass hardness HRC value, which represents the carcass's wear resistance. ε The relationship between the value and the HRC value is calculated using the following formula: ; ε Value and drilling speed n Related, increase speed n If the diamond core's ability to compress and break rocks weakens, then... ε The value increases. ε Value and n The relationship between the values is calculated using the following formula: ; Drilling pressure per unit area F Unchanged, rotational speed n Too high, leading to ε If the value is ≥1.0, the drill bit cannot sharpen itself. Step 5.1.2: Equivalent rock-breaking depth per revolution of each diamond penetrating the rock h S , h S The value is related to the average diamond grain size. d Diamond concentration C Related to the drill bit lip size, the average diamond particle size d Diamond concentration C And if the drill bit lip size remains unchanged, then h S The value remains constant, meaning the average volume of rock broken per revolution per diamond penetrating the rock. q S Unchanged, increase drilling pressure per unit area F This increased the number of diamond grains per revolution penetrating the rock. N This increases the volume of rock broken per drill revolution. Q r Increase the advance per revolution δ ; Reduce diamond concentration C or increase the average diamond grain size d Both increased the equivalent depth of rock breaking per diamond grain penetrating the rock. h S ,and, h S The increase factor is greater than d The increase factor; Increase diamond concentration C or reduce the average diamond grain size d Both increased the total equivalent surface area of diamond in drill bits for wear resistance. S B This improves the wear resistance of the diamond in the drill bit and reduces the wear rate per revolution. δ d However, when drilling encounters rock, the hardness (HRC) of the drill bit matrix, and the drilling speed... n If the diamond core's ability to break rock remains constant, then the drilling pressure per unit area will remain constant. F corresponding ε The value remains unchanged, therefore, C value or d The change in value will not lead to ε Changes in value; Step 5.1.3: ε δ - F slope of a linear function K εδ , K εδ The magnitude of the value reflects ε δ Value and drilling pressure per unit area F The relationship also reflects the strength of the wear resistance of the diamond in the drill bit, and increasing the diamond concentration...

F Under varying magnification conditions, the advance per revolution δ A larger change factor is more conducive to increasing the advance per revolution. δ ; For different rocks, there are different m values. For impregnated diamond bits that can self-sharpen and form cutting edges, through calculation and analysis, it is found that δ - F the exponential m value of the curve function is between 1.0 < m ≤ 2.0; Drilling pressure per unit area F If the diamond concentration remains unchanged, but is reduced... C Or increase the average diamond particle size d This increases the advance per revolution. δ, However, for drill bits with the same matrix properties and the same type of rock, the diamond compression core has the same effect on rock breaking, resulting in the same drilling pressure per unit area. F corresponding ε If the values are the same, it is considered that δ Value change factor and F The relationship between the rate of change of values remains basically unchanged, therefore, C value or d The value of m can be assumed to remain unchanged regardless of the change in the value. Step 5.1.5: δ - F Curve function The coefficient 'a', the magnitude of 'a', reflects the strength of the wear resistance of the diamond in the drill bit, and also reflects the strength of the wear resistance of the drill bit matrix. When drilling encounters rock, the drill bit matrix hardness (HRC) and drilling speed are considered. n If the diamond core's ability to break rock remains constant, then the drilling pressure per unit area will remain constant. F corresponding ε If the diamond concentration remains unchanged, but the diamond concentration is increased... C Or reduce the average diamond particle size d ,but ε δ - F slope of a linear function K εδ As it decreases, the coefficient a The value also decreases accordingly, and vice versa, according to equation (4-6). a Value and K εδ The relationships between the values are as follows: ; if ε δ - F slope of a linear function K εδ With the value remaining constant, increasing the hardness HRC of the drill bit matrix increases the coefficient of variation of the contact area between the diamond and the rock. ε This enhances the wear resistance of the drill bit matrix, and the coefficient 'a' decreases accordingly. According to equations (4-6) and (5-3), the value of 'a' is related to... ε The relationship between the HRC value and the HRC value is as follows: ; Step 5.1.6: Lifespan of Impregnated Diamond Bits H, When the diamond in the drill bit wears down normally and does not fall out abnormally, the lifespan of a padded diamond drill bit is... H With each revolution, the advance is... δ Increased by increasing the drilling pressure per unit area F Pursuing higher advance per revolution δ When the diamond in the drill bit falls out abnormally, the wear resistance of the diamond cannot be fully utilized, thus reducing the drill bit's lifespan. H The lifespan is reduced, therefore, there is a maximum value for drill bit life. H max There exists a corresponding maximum drilling pressure per unit area. F max There is a corresponding advance limit value per revolution. δ max Per revolution advance limit value δ max The inclusion force of the matrix on the diamond, and the average diamond size d Related, increase d Value, then δ max Increase; when H 1< H 2< H 3, and H 4< H At time 3, the corresponding maximum drilling pressure per unit area F max exist F 3~ F Between 4, if F 4 and F The difference of 3 is relatively small, so we can calculate it using the following formula.
