Description

Technical Field

[0002] Polycrystalline diamond composite sheets are typically composed of a polycrystalline diamond layer (03) and a cemented carbide matrix (04), and are widely used in PDC drill bits for oil and natural gas extraction. See also Figure 1 The crown of the PDC drill bit, including cutting teeth 01 and gauge protection structure 02, is made of polycrystalline diamond composite material. See also Figure 2 Unlike the cutting tooth 01, the gauge protection structure 02 is nested on the side of the drill body 05; the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 of the gauge protection structure 02 should not extend beyond the side of the drill body 05. In conventional gauge protection structures 02, the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 and the cemented carbide substrate 04 need to be soldered to the drill body 05. However, the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 does not wet with conventional solder. During soldering, the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 cannot adhere to the solder. Gaps will appear between the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 in the gauge protection structure 02 and the drill body 05; the outer edge of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 is prone to chipping under external pressure, causing premature failure of the gauge protection structure 02.

[0023] Example 1: See Figure 3 An annular protrusion 1 extends upward from the outer edge of the top of a polycrystalline diamond composite substrate. The outer surface of the annular protrusion 1 is aligned with the outer surface of the polycrystalline diamond composite substrate. The inner area of ​​the annular protrusion 1 is a material-holding groove 2 that matches the polycrystalline diamond layer 03, used to hold polycrystalline diamond powder. The depth of the material-holding groove 2 matches the thickness of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03. The polycrystalline diamond powder in the material-holding groove 2 will not be too high above the annular protrusion 1. After the polycrystalline diamond composite substrate holds the polycrystalline diamond powder, it is composited into a polycrystalline diamond composite sheet through high temperature and high pressure. The annular protrusion 1 replaces the outer surface of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 and is brazed to the drill bit body 05, which can ensure that there is no gap between the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and the drill bit body 05, avoid the edge of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 from chipping, and extend the service life of the gauge protection structure 02.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the annular protrusion 1 of this utility model replaces the outer side of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 and is brazed to the drill bit body 05, which can ensure that there is no gap between the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and the drill bit body 05, avoid the edge of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 from chipping, and extend the service life of the gauge protection structure 02.

[0025] The thickness of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 is 0.5~4mm, which is a commonly used size for the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 of PDC drill bits; the depth of the material reservoir 2 is 0.3~5mm, and is set accordingly. In this embodiment, the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 is 0.5mm, and the depth of the material reservoir 2 is 0.3mm.

[0026] The horizontal cross-section of the material container 2 is circular, and the resulting polycrystalline diamond layer 03 is disc-shaped, reducing the sharp edges at the outer end of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 and ensuring the diameter retention effect of the diameter retention structure 02.

[0027] The material trough 2 is coaxially arranged with the annular protrusion 1, so that the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 is worn evenly, ensuring the service life of the diameter-maintaining structure 02.

[0028] The top outer edge is provided with a chamfered edge 3; during brazing, the chamfered edge 3 can fill more brazing material, improving the connection strength between the polycrystalline diamond composite substrate and the drill bit body 05.

[0029] The bottom outer edge is chamfered (B4) to facilitate insertion into the side of the drill bit body (O5).

[0030] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The material container 2 is used to hold polycrystalline diamond powder; after the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet substrate holds the polycrystalline diamond powder, it is composited into a polycrystalline diamond composite sheet through high temperature and high pressure; the annular protrusion 1 replaces the outer side of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 and is brazed to the drill bit body 05, which can ensure that there is no gap between the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet and the drill bit body 05, avoid the edge chipping of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03, and extend the service life of the gauge protection structure 02. The polycrystalline diamond layer 03 is disc-shaped, reducing the sharp edges of the outer end of the polycrystalline diamond layer 03 and ensuring the gauge protection effect of the gauge protection structure 02. During brazing, the chamfer A 3 can fill more brazing material, improving the connection strength between the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet substrate and the drill bit body 05. The chamfer B 4 can be easily embedded into the side of the drill bit body 05.

[0031] Example 2: See Figure 4-5 Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that the bottom of the material tank 2 is densely covered with several small protrusions to improve the bonding ability between the polycrystalline diamond composite substrate and the polycrystalline diamond layer 03.

[0032] The small protrusions include polygonal bosses 51, which increase the contact area between the material reservoir 2 and the polycrystalline diamond powder, and improve the bonding ability with the polycrystalline diamond layer 03. In this embodiment, there are 16 polygonal bosses 51.

[0033] The regular polygonal boss 51 is a regular square-sided boss, which is easy to process and form.

[0034] The small protrusions also include semi-regular polygonal protrusions 52; these semi-regular polygonal protrusions 52 are distributed along the bottom edge of the material storage tank 2, making full use of the bottom area of ​​the material storage tank 2 and improving the bonding ability with the polycrystalline diamond layer 03. In this embodiment, there are 8 semi-regular polygonal protrusions 52.
