Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drilling bits, and in particular relates to a PDC drill bit performance testing device. Background Technology
[0002] PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Composite) drill bits are used in oil and gas exploration drilling. Their main characteristic is that the cutting surfaces are made of polycrystalline diamond (PDC), a material with extremely high hardness and wear resistance, making PDC drill bits perform exceptionally well in hard rock formations.
[0003] However, due to the complexity of drilling operations, PDC drill bits usually need to undergo performance testing on selected samples before leaving the factory to ensure stable performance and reduce the occurrence of accidents during drilling. This testing is usually done by cutting rocks. However, in existing performance testing, small pieces of rock are usually clamped in a chuck for cutting tests. This requires frequent clamping of rocks during multiple tests, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0035] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model embodiment provides a PDC drill bit performance testing device for performing cutting tests on a PDC drill bit 5, including:
[0037] The base 1 is used to place the stone material 2 for testing. The base 1 includes a mounting base 11, which has multiple sets of bearing rollers 12 arranged in parallel inside to support the stone material 2, and four support frames 111 fixedly installed on its side.
[0038] Mobile component 3 includes:
[0039] Two horizontal moving units 31 are fixedly installed on the support frame 111, and the two horizontal moving units 31 are perpendicular to each other;
[0040] The vertical moving unit 33 is connected to the horizontal moving unit 31 via the connecting plate 32;
[0041] Driver component 4 includes:
[0042] The drive motor 42 is mounted on the vertical moving unit 33 via the mounting plate 41;
[0043] Mounting rod 43 is used to mount the PDC drill bit 5 to be tested and is fixedly connected to the power output end of drive motor 42.
[0044] In practical application, this embodiment uses multiple bearing rollers 12 in conjunction with external feeding equipment to place the stone 2 into the mounting base 11. The drive motor 42 drives the PDC drill bit 5 to rotate, and the vertical movement unit 33 controls the lifting and lowering of the drive component 4. The rotating PDC drill bit 5 then cuts and drills the stone 2. After cutting, the stone 2 and the PDC drill bit 5 are tested to determine the cutting performance of the PDC drill bit 5. The two horizontal movement units 31 control the vertical movement unit 33 to adjust the horizontal position of the vertical movement unit 33, thereby adjusting the cutting position. Additional cutting tests can be performed on the empty positions on the stone 2.
[0045] In this embodiment, the movement of the vertical moving unit 33 and the drive component 4 is controlled by two horizontal moving units 31, which can adjust the cutting position of the PDC drill bit 5 and the stone 2, and quickly realize multiple cutting tests without repeatedly changing the clamping stone 2. Compared with the existing testing device, the working efficiency is high.
[0046] Please see Figure 2 As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base 1 further includes a fixing unit 13 for fixing the stone 2. The fixing unit 13 includes a U-shaped fixing plate 131. The fixing plate 131 is threadedly connected and fixed to the support frame 111 by fixing bolts 132 provided at both ends. The fixing plate 131 and the mounting base 11 are fixedly installed with compression pads 14 on the side adjacent to the stone 2. The compression pads 14 are in compression contact with the stone 2.
[0047] In practical applications, the stone 2 is clamped and fixed by the fixed unit 13 and the extrusion pad 14 to ensure that the stone 2 remains stable during the cutting test, thus avoiding the impact of stone 2 displacement on the test results or even problems such as drill jamming.
[0048] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the vertical moving unit 33 includes:
[0049] Mobile seat 331;
[0050] A vertical lead screw 333 is movably mounted on a movable seat 331 at both ends via bearings. A vertical moving block 335 is installed on the seat via a threaded connection. The side of the mounting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the vertical moving block 335.
[0051] The second moving motor 332 is fixedly installed on the moving base 331, and its power output end is fixedly connected to one end of the vertical lead screw 333.
[0052] Furthermore, the vertical moving unit 33 also includes a guide rod 334, which is fixedly installed in the moving seat 331 and parallel to the vertical lead screw 333. The vertical moving block 335 also slides with the guide rod 334.
[0053] In practical application, this embodiment drives the vertical lead screw 333 to rotate via the second moving motor 332. Based on the threaded engagement between the vertical lead screw 333 and the vertical moving block 335, and under the limit of the guide rod 334, the lifting and lowering control of the vertical moving block 335 is achieved. Then, the lifting and lowering control of the drive assembly 4 is achieved via the mounting plate 41 connected to the vertical moving block 335. Finally, the cutting control of the PDC drill bit 5 is achieved by controlling the lifting and lowering of the drive assembly 4.
[0054] Please see Figure 3 In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the horizontal moving unit 31 includes:
[0055] Two mounting brackets 311 are fixedly connected to support brackets 111 at both ends. The two mounting brackets 311 are parallel to each other. A sliding groove is fixedly opened in the middle of the mounting bracket 311, and a slider 312 is slidably installed in the sliding groove.
[0056] A horizontal lead screw 314 is movably mounted on two sliders 312 via bearings at both ends, and a horizontal moving block 315 is movably mounted on it via a threaded engagement.
[0057] The first moving motor 313 is fixedly mounted on a slider 312, and its power output end is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal lead screw 314.
[0058] Furthermore, the connecting plate 32 is configured as an "L"-shaped bent plate, and the sides of the connecting plate 32 are fixedly connected to the horizontal moving block 315 and the moving seat 331 respectively.
[0059] In practical application, this embodiment connects the connecting plate 32 to the horizontal moving block 315. Based on the threaded engagement between the horizontal moving block 315 and the horizontal lead screw 314, the two mutually perpendicular horizontal lead screws 314 on the two horizontal moving units 31 achieve mutual limiting. By driving the rotation of the horizontal lead screw 314, the horizontal moving block 315 can be moved axially along the horizontal lead screw 314. Then, the connecting plate 32 connected to the horizontal moving block 315 drives the other horizontal moving unit 31 to move under the sliding limit of the mounting bracket 311 and the slider 312. By independently driving the rotation of the horizontal lead screw 314, the position of the connecting plate 32 and the connected vertical moving unit 33 can be freely adjusted in the horizontal direction.
