Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] IMPROVED CLAW-TYPE DRILL BIT SYSTEM

[0003] Technical Field the Invention Belongs To:

[0004] This invention is a drilling bit system frequently used especially in mining and drilling operations. It has been specifically designed for drilling hard rocks, soils, and other resistant surfaces. Since selecting the equipment appropriate for rock and soil conditions is critical in mining drilling, our invention will be presented to its user as an advantageous option. Our invention is a drilling system that is included within the product group known in the industry as claw bit and that has hardware features which are its hallmarks.

[0005] State of the Art:

[0006] At this stage, we would like to answer the question of what the claw bit is. Claw bit is generally used in methods such as rotary drilling. Its name is driven from its clawshaped cutting surfaces that form the bit. These designs provide high efficiency, especially in hard and medium-hard rocks. It is manufactured from wear-resistant materials such as tungsten carbide or hardened steel. Areas of use; during mineral explorations, in hole drilling operations in the ground in order to determine the location and depth of reserves, in drilling works in order to analyze ground stability or rock properties, and smaller diameter claw bits are ideal for drilling surface layers in oil and natural gas exploration and for drilling water wells in hard soils and rocky areas. In summary, claw bits are used in mining for operations such as drilling, geotechnical drilling, oil and natural gas exploration, and water well drilling. These usage options also apply to our invention. Besides, they are also used in mining and infrastructure operations, in wells drilled for the use of anfo and dynamite which are used to blast hard rocks.

[0007]

[0008] Claw bits are currently in use. Our invention is a system designed taking into consideration the shortcomings of the existing systems. It should be noted that these systems, including our invention, are not lifetime equipment. They are hard-ground drilling devices, and therefore, they wear out and become dysfunctional after a certain period of time.

[0009] At this stage, we would like to detail the advantages of our invention over existing ones:

[0010] - High Durability: Unlike other products on the market, channels are opened in the area where the body contacts the outer surface, and plates, extra resistant to wear, are welded and mounted to these channels. Thanks to this design and manufacturing logic, long-term durability, while using in abrasive rocks, are provided compared to the existing situation.

[0011] - Efficiency: Our invention's capacity of cutting and grinding the materials under challenging conditions is higher than the existing situation. In the invention, the plates protecting the body prevent wear and the share of wear is minimized. The body can operate for many more hours, longer, and deeper length than the existing situation before becoming unusable.

[0012] - Low Maintenance Requirements: Our invention's robust structure does not require frequent replacement.

[0013] -Available in Different Diameters: Our invention can be manufactured in different sizes and diameters as may be required.We would like to detail the features of our invention. The angle and arrangement of our cutting edges in our invention increase the drilling capacity. Different designs are preferred depending on the rock type. In the product manufactured by us, the angle and orientation of its bits, which we may call cutter or diamond, have been designed for excavation in a way that all cutters operate in a balanced and coordinated manner, eliminating any blind spot during excavation in the soil. This in turn has maximized efficiency and reduced vibration and fuel consumption in the excavation machine. While the central cutter bits penetrate to depth, the outer claw bits control the width of the hole. The channels located on the drill bit assist in the discharge of the cut material.

[0014] There is no equivalent to our invention, whose features we mentioned above.

[0015]

[0016] 1. The objective of this invention is to develop a drilling and boring apparatus that eliminates the disadvantages which the claw bits, currently used, pose to their users in terms of high durability, efficiency, low maintenance requirements, and design diversity, and that is durable, fast, and has low maintenance requirement and wide variety of designs compared to the current situation.

[0017] 2. Another objective of this invention is to develop a claw bit system which is brought together by welding and includes additional hardware compared to the current situation.

[0018] 3. Our objective is to eliminate our country's dependence on overseas in terms of this product group by producing a device, in terms of which our country currently depends on overseas, with far superior features than the current situation.

[0028] We would like to discuss the hardware features of our "Improved Claw-Type Drill Bit System," the subject of the invention.

[0029] Our system is constituted from diamond slots (1), air vents (2), hard steel plate slot (3), the outer surface contact area (4), conical tooth (5), cutter claw bits (6), and reinforced steel plates (7).

[0030] The diamond slots (1), the cutter claw bits (6) that will excavate are mounted into this area. The diamond slots (1) have been designed in such a way that would eliminate blind spots and that all cutters would operate in a balanced and coordinated manner.The air vents (2), the pressurized fluid or air coming from the machine passes through these vents and discharges the soil in front of the cutter claw bits (6) and removes any obstacle in the direction of the drilling, and also protects the body from excessive heat. The channels on the drill bit facilitate the discharge of the cut material.

[0031] The hard steel plate slot (3) is a structure that is not found in the existing systems and that is specific to the invention. Channels have been opened in the area, housing it on the body, in such a way that entirely cover the diameter, and the wear-resistant hard steel plate slot (3) has been placed in these opened channels and welded all the way around.

[0032] The outer surface contact area (4) consists of plates made up from reinforced steel material. It has been supported with weld filled onto the steel material that is resistant to wear, heat, and impact. Furthermore, this type of weld is resistant to wear.

[0033] The conical tooth (5) is the connection section to the machine. It is integrated to the invention.

[0034] Cutter Claw Bits (6) are also known as diamond in the industry. They are mounted to the body to perform drilling, breaking operation. If they break, they can be easily replaced with new ones without alteration in the body. The angle and arrangement of the cutter surfaces increase the drilling capacity of the invention. Different designs are preferred depending on the rock type. In our product, the angle and orientation of the cutter claw bits (6) have been designed for excavation in a way that all cutters operate in a balanced and coordinated manner, eliminating any blind spot during excavation in the soil. This in turn has maximized efficiency and reduced vibration and fuel consumption in the excavation machine.

[0035] 6Reinforced Steel Plates (7) are welded to the body to delay wear.

[0036] There is no equivalent to our invention that operates by functioning in a synchronized manner of the components of our invention, which we explain above in detail.

[0037] At this stage, we would like to explain the operating principle of our invention. Our invention is mounted on the drilling machine via the conical tooth (5). As the drill rotates, the cutter claw bits (6) fixed to the diamond slots (1) cut and break the material. During drilling, high-pressure fluids or air, drilling mud or high-pressure air are conveyed to the tip of the invention by means of the air vents (2). These fluids or air carry the cut particles to the surface and cool the bit. The reinforced steel plates (7), the hard steel plate slot (3), and the outer surface contact area (4) support the durability of the invention, prevent wear, and minimize the share of wear. The body can operate for many more hours and lengths before becoming unusable than the current situation.

[0038] We believe that our invention, the hardware features of which we describe above, will fill a significant gap in the industry.References:
