Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of diamond composite sheets, and in particular relates to a rotatable spherical diamond composite sheet. Background Art

[0002] Diamond compacts (PDCs) are composite superhard materials made by sintering diamond powder, a binder, and cemented carbide under high temperature and high pressure. They are generally cylindrical in shape with a flat top surface.

[0003] In recent years, the extraction of unconventional oil and gas, such as shale oil and shale gas, has posed numerous challenges to drilling deep and complex rock formations. During drilling, traditional flat diamond plywood has a large contact surface with the rock, leading to slow penetration and mud balling. Furthermore, only a single cutting edge of the diamond plywood is used during actual drilling, while the remaining portion is fixed and cannot participate in drilling. When this cutting edge wears out or breaks during use, the diamond plywood becomes ineffective, resulting in low product utilization and unnecessary waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a rotatable spherical diamond composite sheet, which solves the problems of the existing diamond composite sheet such as short service life and low drilling efficiency.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the utility model is:

[0006] A rotatable spherical diamond composite sheet includes a polycrystalline diamond layer, a cemented carbide substrate and a cemented carbide rotating mechanism. The polycrystalline diamond layer is fixedly connected to the cemented carbide substrate. The polycrystalline diamond layer is hemispherical and has multiple cutting edges on the spherical surface. Concave chip grooves are provided between adjacent cutting edges. The cemented carbide rotating mechanism includes an alloy cup wall, a cemented carbide rotating shaft and an alloy cup bottom. The cemented carbide rotating shaft is placed in the alloy cup wall. The alloy cup bottom and the bottom of the alloy cup wall are fixed by welding. The cemented carbide rotating shaft and the cemented carbide substrate are fixedly connected by utilizing the high temperature and high pressure environment during diamond synthesis.

[0007] Wherein, the plurality of cutting edges are evenly distributed with the axis of the spherical top of the polycrystalline diamond layer as the center.

[0008] The number of the cutting edges is 3-8, and the radial depth of the chip groove is 0.3-0.8 mm.

[0009] The shape of the alloy cup wall is a small upper opening and a large lower opening, and the cross section of the cemented carbide rotating shaft is an inverted T shape.

[0010] The alloy cup wall is coaxial with the hard alloy rotating shaft and a gap is provided in the middle, and the gap is filled with a filler.

[0011] Wherein, the filler is hexagonal boron nitride or a mixture thereof with graphite, with graphite accounting for 10%-90%.

[0012] Wherein, the cemented carbide rotating mechanism is filled after being assembled and welded, and after filling, the cemented carbide rotating axis is equal to or slightly higher than the upper plane of the alloy cup wall.

[0013] Wherein, a mica ring is placed at the upper opening of the alloy cup wall, and the thickness of the mica ring is greater than or equal to the upper end wall thickness of the alloy cup wall.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of this utility model are:

[0015] This utility model designs the polycrystalline diamond layer into a spherical shape, which can reduce the contact area with the rock during drilling and increase the feed rate. The spherical surface is designed with multiple cutting edges and forms a concave chip removal groove, which improves chip removal efficiency and has good economic benefits. A carbide rotating mechanism is designed. After the rotating mechanism is welded and filled, the rotating mechanism is fixedly connected to the carbide substrate using the high temperature and high pressure environment during diamond synthesis, achieving 360° rotary cutting of the cutting edge, greatly improving the product's wear resistance, while also ensuring that the cutting edge can always maintain a highly efficient sharp state, maximizing the service life of the drill bit and reducing costs.

[0024] The polycrystalline diamond layer 1 is hemispherical and has multiple cutting edges 101 disposed on the spherical surface. Concave chip grooves 102 are located between adjacent cutting edges 101. The chip grooves 102 are laser-machined into the diamond surface. In this embodiment, there are eight cutting edges 101, each with a radial depth of 0.5 mm. The eight cutting edges 101 are evenly distributed around the axis of the spherical top of the polycrystalline diamond layer 1. In the present invention, the number of cutting edges 101 is not limited to this number and can be set to 3-8 based on actual production needs.

The cemented carbide rotating shaft 302 is placed in the alloy cup wall 301, and the alloy cup bottom 304 and the bottom of the alloy cup wall 301 are fixed by welding. The cemented carbide rotating shaft 302 and the cemented carbide substrate 2 are fixedly connected by utilizing the high temperature and high pressure environment during diamond synthesis.
