[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0039] The embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings.
[0040] As Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figure 4, a high-temperature-resistant PDC intelligent drill bit capable of real-time pressure detection comprises a PDC drill bit body 1 with six evenly spaced blades 2, each blade 2 equipped with multiple PDC cutters 3 and a pressure-measuring cutter 31. The pressure-measuring cutter 31 houses a piezoelectric sensor 311. A connecting hole 21 runs through the center of the blade 2, serving as a wiring slot. The upper portion of the wiring slot 21 connects to the piezoelectric sensor 311 of the pressure-measuring cutter 31, while the lower portion connects to two removable windows 5 milled on either side of the drill bit. The windows 5 contain built-in storage chips for data storage, with storage space selected as needed and no less than 1GB. The piezoelectric sensor 311 is a specially customized micro-piezoelectric sensor crystal, small enough to fit within the PDC drill bit's cutter. The Curie point of the piezoelectric sensor 311 crystal is as high as possible to prevent depolarization during machining. The piezoelectric sensor 311 is nested within the center of a standard PDC cutter 3, forming the pressure-measuring cutter 31. The piezoelectric sensor 311 has a diameter of 8 mm, smaller than the diameter of the PDC drill bit's cutting teeth 3. The wiring slot 21's lower portion connects to two removable windows 5 milled on either side of the drill bit. These removable windows 5 are milled into a stepped shape and filled with hard rubber, such as ZP-375 industrial rubber. A removable protective plate 54 is screwed to the outside to maintain a seal between the two removable windows. The wiring slot has an overall I-shaped structure, with the top connecting to the conductive sheet 3114 within the piezoelectric sensor 311 and the bottom to the storage chip 51, charge amplifier 52, and button battery 53 within the two removable windows 5. The wiring slot 21 and piezoelectric sensor 311 are coated with a layer of ZS-411 high-temperature-resistant paint. All wires connected to the piezoelectric sensor 311 are coated with a 0.6 mm thick layer of ZS-411 thermal insulation paint.
[0041] Furthermore, the pressure measuring cutting tooth 31 is modified from the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3 arranged in the middle of the blade 2. Of course, other PDC drill bit cutting teeth 3 arranged thereon can also achieve the detection effect, but the one close to the middle is the most preferred and has a longer service life.
[0042] Furthermore, the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3 is modified into a pressure measuring cutting tooth 31 in the following manner: a small opening is reserved for the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3; in a low temperature environment, the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3 shrinks when cooled and the reserved opening expands; a piezoelectric sensor 311 is embedded in the reserved opening; at normal temperature or downhole temperature, the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3 expands when heated; the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3 and the piezoelectric sensor 311 automatically achieve an interference fit; and the initial clamping force at this time is cleared in the data as a compensation parameter, so that the pressure exerted on the piezoelectric sensor 311 during cutting is the cutting force generated by the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3.
[0043] like Figure 5 、6 As shown in FIG. 7, when the piezoelectric sensor 311 is assembled, a layer of zs-411 high-temperature-resistant paint with a thickness of about 0.6 mm needs to be brushed on the shell of the piezoelectric sensor 311. The connection between the conductive sheet 3112, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3113, the conductive sheet 3114, the top cover 3111 at the upper end of the sensor, and the bottom end cover 3115 of the piezoelectric sensor 311 is achieved by using conductive glue. The connection between the conductive sheet 3114 and the wire is achieved by hot-press welding. The entire shell cavity and the wire inlet and outlet are sealed with rubber. As shown in FIG. 8, the top cover 3111 at the upper end of the sensor and the bottom end cover 3115 of the sensor are also degreased and cleaned before assembly. The inner surface of the cutting tooth is coated with zs-411 high-temperature-resistant paint. The wire inlet and outlet on the end cover of the pressure measuring cutting tooth 31 are sealed with rubber, and the internal empty part of the cutting tooth is filled with rubber. Specifically, the top cover 3111 at the upper end and the bottom end cover 3115 of the piezoelectric sensor 311 are tightly coupled into a hollow cylindrical structure. The bottom end cover 3115 is connected to the wiring groove 21 through the lead wire interface, and the inner side is provided with a circular boss which can just contact the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3113 at the end and the conductive sheets at both ends. Figure 7
[0044] The top cover 3111 at the upper end of the sensor is sequentially provided with the conductive sheet 3112, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3113, the conductive sheet 3114, and the bottom end cover 3115, and they are pressed in the bottom end cover 3115 through the top cover 3111 at the upper end of the sensor. The wire is connected to the side of the conductive sheet 3114. The bottom end cover 3115 is provided with a circular hole with a middle opening. The wire extends through the hole in the bottom end cover 3115 to the charge amplification device in the window on both sides. The processed data is stored in the storage chip for analysis of the internal data after being taken out. The working power supply of the piezoelectric sensor is provided by the button cell 53 in the window 5. The diameter of the piezoelectric sensor 311 is 8 mm, which is smaller than the diameter of the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3. The PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3 for placing the pressure measuring cutting tooth 31 is provided with a threaded hole at the other end of the cylindrical structure of the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3, and a pressing plate is provided at the threaded hole end. The pressing plate is provided with threads corresponding to the cylindrical structure of the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3. The pressing plate and the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3 are fixed by the internal stud, and the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3113 and the conductive sheets 3112 and 3114 at both ends are further pressed in the interior of the PDC drill bit cutting tooth 3.
[0045] The high-temperature-resistant PDC intelligent drill bit with the above structure can detect pressure in real time, and the use method is as follows:
[0046] When the drill bit is working, the PDC drill bit cutting teeth 3 on the PDC drill bit blade 2 cut the stratum, at this time the cutting force is measured by the piezoelectric sensor 311 on the pressure measuring cutting tooth, and the signal is transmitted to the charge amplification device 52 in the two side windows 5 through the lead wire, the processed data is stored in the storage chip 51 for analysis of the internal data after taking out. The working power of the piezoelectric sensor is provided by the button cell 53 in the window.
