Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-drop technology, and in particular to an anti-drop device and a screw drill bit. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of downhole power drilling tools, screw drills convert hydraulic energy from drilling fluid into mechanical energy to drive the drill bit rotation. They are widely used in complex well operations such as directional and horizontal wells. With increasing drilling depth and formation complexity, the torque, drilling pressure, and rotational speed that downhole tools must withstand significantly increase. Especially under extreme conditions of high temperature, high pressure, and high vibration, the risk of screw drill casing fracture rises sharply. Once fracture occurs, the entire screw drill will fall into the well, causing not only significant economic losses but also severe delays in the drilling cycle.
[0003] To prevent such accidents, current technical solutions generally add an anti-fall assembly to the upper part of the motor assembly. Its typical structure consists of an anti-fall housing, an anti-fall nut, an anti-fall retaining ring, and an anti-fall shaft. The specific assembly relationship is as follows: the anti-fall housing is connected to the stator via threads, the lower end of the anti-fall shaft is fixed to the rotor via threads, and the upper end is connected in series with the anti-fall retaining ring and the anti-fall nut. While this design can achieve axial anti-falling function, it still has the following technical defects:
[0004] Structural redundancy and reliability risks: The anti-drop housing requires machining connecting threads, leading to an increase in stress concentration areas. Under long-term alternating loads, fatigue fracture can easily occur at the root of the threads, causing the overall anti-drop function to fail.
[0005] Process efficiency constraints: Multi-stage thread assembly requires an increased axial dimension of the housing, which not only increases material consumption but also significantly reduces production cycle time due to the complexity of precision thread machining processes.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new anti-drop assembly solution that is compact, highly reliable, and easy to manufacture, in order to meet the dual requirements of modern drilling engineering for tool safety and economy. Utility Model Content

[0027] It should be understood that, when used in this specification and the appended claims, the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components and / or collections thereof.
[0028] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. As used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0029] See Figure 1 This utility model embodiment proposes an anti-drop device. Based on the limiting relationship between the anti-drop component 10 and the anti-drop chuck 30, the anti-drop device effectively prevents falling and reduces one housing thread, thus shortening the length of the anti-drop structure and reducing production costs and failure risk. To achieve the above technical objectives, the anti-drop device includes an anti-drop component 10, an anti-drop shaft 20, an anti-drop chuck 30, a stator 40, and a rotor 50, the specific structure of which is described below:
[0030] The stator 40 is provided with a shaft hole, and the anti-drop component 10, anti-drop shaft 20, anti-drop chuck 30 and rotor 50 are all disposed in the shaft hole; the anti-drop shaft 20 passes through the anti-drop chuck 30, one end of the anti-drop shaft 20 is connected to the rotor 50 (for example, by threaded connection, which is not specifically limited in this utility model), and the other end of the anti-drop shaft 20 is connected to the anti-drop component 10; the anti-drop chuck 30 is fixed to the inner side of the shaft hole, and the anti-drop chuck 30 forms a limit on the anti-drop component 10.
[0031] Specifically, this anti-drop device, through the limiting cooperation between the anti-drop component 10 and the anti-drop chuck 30, not only improves the reliability of the anti-drop function, but also significantly optimizes the structural design and production cost, which is reflected in the following three aspects:
[0032] 1. Enhanced anti-drop performance
[0033] The limiting interface between the anti-drop component 10 and the anti-drop chuck 30 adopts a stepped limiting design, forming a mechanical stop structure. When the screw drill bit rotates at high speed, the vibration of the anti-drop shaft caused by centrifugal inertial force is reduced compared with the typical anti-drop assembly structure. The risk of fatigue fracture failure due to local stress concentration in the threaded connection is reduced, effectively ensuring the safety of downhole operations.
[0034] 2. Simplified structure and improved reliability
[0035] By eliminating the threaded connection section of the original anti-drop housing, the risk of failure caused by vibration loosening and corrosion wear of the threaded pair is completely eliminated. The improved structure is shorter, reducing material usage, and the elimination of precision thread machining processes significantly improves the manufacturing yield of the anti-drop assembly.
[0036] 3. Cost and efficiency optimization
[0037] The compact design reduces overall weight, alleviating the burden of transportation and installation in the well, while also lowering costs. Furthermore, the simplified structure facilitates maintenance and improves efficiency.
[0038] In summary, this design achieves synergistic optimization among anti-drop performance, process reliability, and economy through structural innovation, providing a more competitive solution for high-performance drilling tools.
[0039] This utility model embodiment proposes an anti-drop device, which includes an anti-drop component 10, an anti-drop shaft 20, an anti-drop chuck 30, a stator 40, and a rotor 50. The stator 40 has a shaft hole, and the anti-drop component 10, anti-drop shaft 20, anti-drop chuck 30, and rotor 50 are all disposed within the shaft hole. The anti-drop shaft 20 passes through the anti-drop chuck 30, with one end connected to the rotor 50 and the other end connected to the anti-drop component 10. The anti-drop chuck 30 is fixed to the inner side of the shaft hole, and the anti-drop chuck 30 forms a limiting position on the anti-drop component 10. Based on the limiting position between the anti-drop component 10 and the anti-drop chuck 30, the anti-drop device can effectively prevent falling, and can reduce one thread, effectively shorten the length of the anti-drop structure, and reduce production costs and failure risk.
[0040] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as this embodiment, the anti-drop component 10 includes an anti-drop nut 11 and an anti-drop retaining ring 12, and the side of the anti-drop shaft 20 is provided with a limiting step 21; the anti-drop retaining ring 12 is sleeved on the anti-drop shaft 20 and is limited by the limiting step 21; the anti-drop nut 11 is fixed to one end of the anti-drop shaft 20 and limits the anti-drop retaining ring 12.
[0041] Specifically, the outer diameter of the limiting step 21 is larger than the inner diameter of the anti-drop retaining ring 12, thereby limiting the anti-drop retaining ring 12. The anti-drop nut 11 can be threadedly connected to the anti-drop shaft 20. The outer diameter of the anti-drop nut 11 is larger than the inner diameter of the anti-drop retaining ring 12, and the anti-drop retaining ring 12 is pressed and fixed on the limiting step 21 by the anti-drop nut 11.
[0042] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the anti-drop chuck 30 is larger than the outer diameter of the anti-drop shaft 20 and smaller than the outer diameter of the anti-drop retaining ring 12, so that the anti-drop chuck 30 can limit the anti-drop retaining ring 12, that is, the anti-drop retaining ring 12 cannot pass through the anti-drop chuck 30.
[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as this embodiment, the stator 40 includes a housing 41 and an anti-drop ring 42, the shaft hole is formed on the housing 41, and the anti-drop ring 42 is fixed on the inner wall of the shaft hole.
[0044] Specifically, the anti-drop ring 42 is welded to the inner wall of the shaft hole to achieve reliable fixation.
[0045] Furthermore, the anti-drop chuck 30 is mounted on the anti-drop chuck 42. For example, the anti-drop chuck 30 can be mounted on the anti-drop chuck 42 by means of fasteners and / or buckles, etc. This utility model does not specifically limit this.
[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as this embodiment, the anti-drop device further includes a limiting member 60, which is fixed on the inner wall of the shaft hole and located on the side of the anti-drop chuck 30 near the anti-drop assembly 10.
[0047] The limiting member 60 can reliably limit the anti-drop chuck 30, preventing it from moving around, thereby greatly improving the reliability of fixing the anti-drop chuck 30.
[0048] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as this embodiment, the limiting member 60 is a retaining ring for a hole. The inner wall of the shaft hole is provided with a groove, and the retaining ring for the hole is embedded in the groove. The retaining ring for the hole limits the anti-drop chuck 30. It can be understood that the anti-drop shaft 20 passes through the retaining ring for the hole, and the retaining ring for the hole is fixedly disposed on one side of the anti-drop chuck 30 to limit the anti-drop chuck 30.
[0049] A retaining ring for holes is a flexible fixing element used in mechanical assembly. It is mainly used to axially fix a chuck 30 installed in a shaft hole to prevent it from moving axially. The retaining ring is installed in a pre-machined groove in the shaft hole and is securely fixed by elastic tension.
[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as this embodiment, the stator 40 further includes a rubber sleeve 43, which is embedded in the shaft hole and wraps around the outside of the rotor 50. The rubber sleeve 43 can reliably protect the rotor 50 and improve its service life.
