[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 This is one embodiment of an oil extraction drilling tool according to the present invention.

[0028] This embodiment of the oil extraction drilling tool includes a drill body 1, three roller cones 2, a PDC cutting structure 3, and a series of auxiliary components. The drilling tool is designed to improve drilling efficiency in hard rock formations, while reducing drill bit wear and extending its service life. The drilling tool mainly consists of the drill body, roller cones, PDC cutting structure, rectangular plate, and roller cone structure, with a reasonable design and clear functional allocation.

[0029] Drill Body 1: Drill Body 1 is the core component of the entire drilling tool. It bears all cutting structures and drives the drill bit to perform drilling operations through rotation and downward pressure. Three roller cones 2 are fixed at the front end of Drill Body 1, evenly distributed to form an equilateral triangle. Drill Body 1 is typically made of high-strength alloy material to ensure stability under high temperature, high pressure, and intense friction environments.

[0030] Roller cone 2 and its structure: Roller cone 2 is the rock-breaking component of the drill bit, which directly contacts the underground rock formation and undertakes the cutting action. In this embodiment, the structure of roller cone 2 consists of a roller post 21, a first toothed end 22, a second toothed end 24, and a third toothed end 26.

[0031] Column 21: The core supporting part of the roller cone 2, which supports the entire roller cone. The upper end of column 21 is connected to the drill body 1 by welding or other fixing methods to ensure a firm connection between the roller cone and the drill body 1.

[0032] First Tooth Palm 22: The top of the tooth pillar 21 connects to the first tooth palm 22. Several square pyramidal teeth 23 are evenly distributed around the outer periphery of the first tooth palm 22. These square pyramidal teeth 23 play a role in the initial crushing of the rock strata. During the operation, these cone-shaped teeth will first come into contact with the rock and quickly carry out coarse crushing.

[0033] Second tooth 24: The upper end of the first tooth 22 is integrally formed with the second tooth 24, and several conical teeth 25 are also evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the second tooth 24. The conical teeth 25 can penetrate deeper into the rock strata and effectively crush the rock as the drill bit continues to press down.

[0034] Third Tooth 26: The upper end of the second tooth 24 is integrally formed with a third tooth 26, and several arc-shaped teeth 27 are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the third tooth 26. The design of the arc-shaped teeth 27 can further break the rock strata and effectively prevent the drill bit from slipping during operation.

[0035] The design of these teeth allows the drill bit to break up rock layers layer by layer during drilling, gradually reducing the rock from coarse to fine, ensuring the stability of the drill bit and its long-term effective operation.

[0036] The PDC cutting structure 3, with the introduction of the PDC cutting device, gives this drill bit excellent hardness and wear resistance. The PDC cutting structure 3 consists of a triangular prism 4, a column groove 5, a main cutter wing 6, a secondary cutter wing 7, and a side cutter wing 9, etc. It is mainly located at the end of the drill body 1 and installed between the roller cones 2, which further enhances the cutting ability of the drill bit.

[0037] Triangular prism 4: Located at the end of drill body 1, triangular prism 4 is shaped like a triangular prism. The surface of the prism is specially treated to ensure good contact with hard rock formations, thereby improving the cutting efficiency of the drill bit. The upper edge of triangular prism 4 forms the main cutter wing 6 and the secondary cutter wing 7. The edge of the main cutter wing 6 is curved, while the edge of the secondary cutter wing 7 is straight. This shape design helps optimize the cutting angle and improve the cutting efficiency of the drill bit.

[0038] Post groove 5: Post groove 5 is located in the middle of the triangular prism 4, mainly used to optimize the cutting effect of the drill bit. The upper edge of post groove 5 forms a secondary blade 7, which is designed to assist cutting and ensure smoother rock cutting.

[0039] Large-diameter PDC cutting elements 8 and 10: PDC cutting elements are installed on the surfaces of the main blade 6, secondary blade 7, and side blade 9. Large-diameter PDC cutting elements 8 are installed on the main blade 6 and secondary blade 7; these cutting elements are responsible for roughing and main cutting. PDC cutting elements 10 with gradually decreasing diameters are installed on the side blade 9. The design of the side blades helps the drill bit better adapt to the hardness variations of different rock formations and provides a uniform cutting load.

[0040] Side blades 9: Located on both sides of the column groove 5, the main function of the side blades 9 is to assist the main blades 6 and secondary blades 7 in completing the cutting work on the rock. In terms of design, the shape of the side blades 9 gradually narrows from the bottom to the top, ensuring a more stable cutting process and reducing the impact force during cutting.

[0041] Rectangular plates 11 and small blades 12: Three rectangular plates 11 are also provided on the drill body 1, and a small blade 12 is formed at the upper end of each rectangular plate 11. The small blades 12 are used to further improve the drill bit's cutting ability in soft rock formations during drilling. Each small blade 12 is equipped with a small-diameter PDC cutting element 13. These small-diameter PDC cutting elements 13 are mainly used to improve drilling efficiency and reduce the resistance of the drill bit when contacting softer rock formations, thus maintaining a stable drilling state.

[0042] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0043] In actual drilling operations, the drill bit advances through rotation and downward pressure. When the drill bit rotates, the roller cone 2 begins to contact the underground rock strata, and the four-sided pyramidal tooth 23 first performs coarse crushing, initially cutting the rock. As the drill bit further presses down, the second tooth 24 and the third tooth 26 begin to work, further crushing the rock strata through the conical tooth 25 and the arc-shaped tooth 27, respectively.

[0044] Simultaneously, the main blade 6, secondary blade 7, and side blade 9 of the PDC cutting structure 3 begin to operate. The large-diameter PDC cutting elements 8 on the main blade 6 and secondary blade 7 achieve higher cutting efficiency in high-hardness rock formations, while the side blade 9 helps maintain the stability of the drill bit and reduces fluctuations in lateral cutting loads.

[0045] The small blades 12 on the rectangular plate 11 help provide additional cutting action during the drilling process, especially when drilling rock formations with uneven hardness, which can improve the adaptability of the drill and ensure the continuous stability of the drilling speed.

[0046] The actual effects obtained by using this device are as follows:

[0047] Improve drilling efficiency: Through reasonable roller cone design and PDC cutting parts, this drill bit can maintain a high drilling speed in hard rock formations, significantly reducing drilling time.

[0048] Reduced drill bit wear: The high hardness of PDC cutting parts ensures that the drill bit can maintain its cutting performance during long-term high-load operation, reducing wear and thus extending the service life of the drill bit.

[0049] High adaptability: Whether in hard or soft rock formations, this drilling tool can quickly adapt to different drilling environments, ensuring good drilling results and stability.

[0050] Reduce drilling costs: By reducing the frequency of drill string changes and improving drilling efficiency, this drill string can effectively reduce the overall cost of oil extraction.

[0051] The oil drilling tool of this embodiment, with its advanced design concept and efficient cutting structure, can significantly improve the efficiency of oil extraction, reduce drill wear, extend service life, adapt to different types of rock formations, and has broad application prospects.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
