Self-adaptive omnidirectional angle-variable PDC drill bit tooth for reducing impact force of rock on tooth
The technical field is as follows:
the invention relates to a self-adaptive omni-directional variable angle PDC drill bit tooth for slowing down impact force of rock on the tooth, and belongs to the field of drilling engineering equipment.
Background art:
the PDC drill bit is the main drilling equipment in oil and gas exploration and development, more than 85% of oil and gas drilling footage in China is completed by the PDC drill bit, the drilling efficiency and the service life of the PDC drill bit are integrally improved, and the PDC drill bit has important significance for reducing the production cost, improving the economic benefit, improving the technical level of the exploration and development equipment and guaranteeing the national energy safety.
The PDC teeth are main cutting elements of the PDC drill bit, and the quality of the teeth directly determines the overall rock breaking performance of the drill bit. However, the impact damage of the PDC teeth has become one of the major bottlenecks that restrict the further development of the PDC drill bit, and particularly, in the drilling process of complex strata such as soft and hard staggered formations, the PDC teeth are easily damaged by impact, variable load and other loads, which seriously affects the drilling efficiency.
In response to the above problems, many researchers have developed PDC teeth and drill bit designs that can mitigate impact forces. In the utility model 'diamond bit with flexible cutting structure' (application number: 2001820353452.1), a buffering cutting module with buffering function is disclosed, which mainly installs a buffer part between the bit body and the cutting element, and uses a bolt or a screw to connect the bit body, the cutting element and the buffer part, and reduces the impact force of the PDC tooth by means of the buffer part; in the utility model 'cutting teeth with vibration damping function and diamond bit using the same' (application number: 2001820353860.7), a cutting teeth with vibration damping function is disclosed, which mainly comprises a central tooth, a base and an elastic element, wherein the elastic element is arranged below the central tooth base body, thus improving the impact resistance of the cutting teeth; in the invention patent 'adaptive limiting tooth control unit and drill bit for inhibiting stick-slip vibration of drilling tool' (application number: 2001810605624.4), the vibration of the drill bit can be effectively eliminated by means of elastic extension and retraction of the limiting teeth, and a certain buffering effect is achieved.
However, in the prior art including the above-mentioned patent, the included angle between the cutting face of the cutting element and the formation is always constant, which is inconsistent with the design rule that the harder the formation, the greater the included angle of the tooth face to the normal of the cutting face (in the field of PDC bit design, this angle is referred to as the rake angle), which causes two problems: firstly, because the angle of a cutting plane is always unchanged, the buffering capacity on impact force is limited, and PDC teeth are still likely to be impacted and damaged under certain limit complex stratum conditions; secondly, because the angle of the cutting plane is not changed, the self-adaptive angle adjustment can not be carried out aiming at different stratums, and the rapid abrasion or the failure of the PDC teeth are easily caused.
In order to further enhance the impact resistance of the PDC teeth and improve the self-adaptive stratum capability of the PDC teeth, based on the design principle that the included angle between the tooth surface and the normal direction of the cutting surface is larger as the stratum is harder, the self-adaptive omnidirectional angle-changing PDC drill bit teeth for slowing down the impact force of rocks on the teeth are provided, so that the cutting angle of the PDC teeth can be comprehensively adjusted, the stratum self-adaptive capability and the impact resistance of the PDC teeth are enhanced, the service life of the drill bit is prolonged, and the drilling efficiency is improved.
The invention content is as follows:
the invention provides a self-adaptive omnidirectional angle-variable PDC drill bit tooth for slowing down impact force of rock on the tooth, and aims to solve the problems that the conventional buffer structure of the PDC drill bit tooth cannot realize adjustment of the cutting angle of the tooth surface of the PDC tooth, so that the buffer capacity of the PDC tooth is limited, a stratum self-adaptive angle adjusting function is not provided, and the PDC tooth is easy to wear quickly, and is damaged by impact and invalid. By adopting the method, the cutting angle can be adjusted in a self-elastic buffer manner according to the hardness degree or the local load condition of the stratum in the rock breaking process of the PDC bit, the adaptability and impact resistance of the cutting bit to the stratum are enhanced, and the service life and drilling efficiency of the PDC bit can be further improved.

Example 3: working principle of teeth
As shown in fig. 11, the adaptive omnidirectional angle-variable PDC drill bit tooth 1 for reducing impact force of rock on the tooth of the present invention mainly relies on the cutting element 11 to scrape and cut broken rock, and the principle of omni-directional angle-variable, impact force reduction, and adaptive angle-variable adjustment according to the hardness and hardness of the formation is as follows:
omnidirectional angle change: the omnidirectional rotating ball 13 and the ball assembly 18 form a rolling pair between the ball assembly 18 and the ball support base 16, so that the omnidirectional rotating ball 13 and the ball support base 16 realize omnidirectional rotation, and the cutting element 11 can carry out space angle-changing adjustment;
impact force is relieved: in medium soft formations, the cutting angle of the adaptive omni-directional variable angle PDC bit tooth 1 does not change or changes little, and the body axis 101 and the cutting axis 102 of the cutting element 11 are basically coincident at this time, as shown in fig. 11 (a); when the local hard rock 2 is suddenly encountered, as shown in fig. 11(b) - (d), the omnidirectional rotating ball 13 welded with the cutting element 11 and the support 12 rotates towards the direction of the hard rock, and part of energy caused by the impact force of the local hard rock is stored in the elastic buffer ring 19 of the adaptive omnidirectional variable angle PDC bit tooth 1, so that the load on the cutting element 11 is reduced, and the impact is reduced;
thirdly, the self-adaptation to the soft and hard degree of the stratum is realized: the structural design of the omnidirectional rotating ball 13 realizes the omnidirectional angle change of the cutting element 11, the angle can be represented as an included angle between the body axis 101 and the cutting axis 102, the size of the included angle is comprehensively determined by the hardness degree of the stratum and the elastic modulus of the elastic element 19, the direction of the included angle is determined by the contact position of the local hard rock 2 and the cutting element 11, when the elastic modulus of the elastic element 19 is determined, the included angle is increased along with the increase of the crushing strength of the local hard rock 2, and the included angle between the tooth surface and the normal direction of the cutting surface is larger as the stratum is harder, so that the cutting edge 111 of the cutting element 11 has good cutting posture and stress condition when cutting the local hard rock 2, and the capability of self-adapting to the hardness degree of the stratum is strong.
