Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of roller cone drill bit technology, specifically relating to a hybrid toothed roller cone drill bit. Background Technology

[0002] Drill bits are rock-breaking tools used in the drilling process to break rocks and form a wellbore. Currently, the most widely used rock-breaking tools are fixed-tooth cutting drill bits and non-fixed-tooth cutting drill bits. The most widely used fixed-tooth cutting drill bit is the PDC drill bit, which is a polycrystalline diamond composite drill bit; while non-fixed-tooth cutting drill bits are mainly roller cone bits. Roller cone bits can be further divided into two main categories according to the type of teeth: insert roller cone bits and steel-tooth (milled-tooth) roller cone bits. Among them, insert roller cone bits are the most widely used roller cone bits, suitable for formations ranging from soft to hard.

[0003] Roller cone drill bits utilize the torque transmitted from the drill string at the surface to rotate clockwise. The roller cone at the bottom of the drill bit rolls at the bottom of the well due to friction. The teeth embedded in the roller cone alternately contact the bottom of the well in single and double tooth configurations, causing the roller cone axis to vibrate vertically in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the well. The teeth use inertial impact force to create pits at the bottom of the well, which accumulate to form the drilling footage. Under current technological conditions, the teeth on the main cutting tooth row of roller cones are all the same in terms of exposed tooth height, tooth tip angle, and cutting angle. This type of roller cone drill bit simply uses the inertial impact force generated by the height difference between the alternating single and double tooth contacts at the bottom of the well to break rocks. This type of drill bit performs well in soft and medium-soft formations, but its rock-breaking efficiency and mechanical drilling speed are not high in medium-hard and hard formations, failing to fully utilize the advantages of its structure.
