7 Claims. (Cl. 255-347) This invention relates generally to drill bits, and more particularly to bits for deepwell drilling.
One of the general objects of the invention is to provide a new and improved drill that will more efficiently drill hard and medium-hard formations.
Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved well drill rollers having the teeth thereon arranged to produce a more effective action in disintegrating material at the bottom of the well being drilled.
A further object is to provide a well drill roller having teeth 'theron which may be connected together by a web that extends radially beyond the teeth, to support and cooperate with the teeth during the drilling operation.
A further object is to provide a new and improved well drill roller wherein the teeth or cutting elements on the same roller may engage the formation simultaneously at diiferent levels, in order to facilitate the removal of particles of the formation at the bottom of the bore hole being drilled.
A further object is to provide a new and improved well drill roller having teeth thereon, and wherein, on the same roller, a cutting element extends radially beyond the teeth on the roller so that during the drilling operation the extended cutting element will cut a narrow circular groove in the formation at the bottom of a bore hole thereby reducing the lateral support of the formation circumscribed by the circular groove, thus facilitating the removal of particles of the formation by the well drill.
Another object is to provide a roller bit that will during the drilling operation cut a kerf in the gage portion of the bottom of the hole so that the formation within the area circumscribed by the kerf will not be supported by the surrounding formation and may be removed more readily.
Another object is to provide a new and improved well drill roller having a more effective form of cutting element to remove the formation from the outer gage portion of the bore hole being drilled.
Another object is to provide a new and improved roller having cutting elements arranged thereon to stabilize the roller during the drilling operation.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings wherein are set forth by way of example certain embodiments of the invention.
Fig. l is a bottom plan view of a cross roller bit embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation view of the bit shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a detail view of a side roller showing a circumferentially extending web on the gage cutting portion of the roller.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section view taken along line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is an isometric view of a cone bit embodying the invention.
Fig. 6 is a detail view of a portion of a side roller em- 2,851,253 Patented Sept. 9, 1958 bodying the invention showing the roller in operating position on the formation at the bottom of a bore hole.
Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate a cross roller bit employing a number of conventional parts and the new and improved rollers provided by the invention. In these figures, a bit head 1 has the usual threaded shank 2 by which the bit may be attached to the lower end of a drill stem (not shown). The head 1 may have the usual depending legs 3, 4, 5 and bridge 6 to support the usual pins (not shown) upon which may be rotatably mounted the new and improved cross rollers 7 and 8 and side rollers 9 and 10. The cross rollers 7 and 8 each have a row of axially disposed teeth 11 thereon. The outer ends of the teeth 11 are connected together by a web or cutting element 12. This web extends radially beyond the teeth 11 as is clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The side rollers 9 and 10 are similar to each other and to the cross rollers 7 and 8 in construction. The side rollers 9 and 10 each have a row of teeth 13. A web or cutting element 14 connects together the teeth 13 at the outer or gage cutting portion of the rollers 9 and 10. The web 14 extends radially beyond the teeth 13 of the side rollers 9 and 10 to assist in cutting and maintaining the gage of the bore hole, and supports the teeth 13, during the operation of the bit.
In operation, a drill bit is attached to the lower end of a drill stem (not shown), and rotated upon the bottom of a bore hole. Thus the rollers are caused to rotate, and as weight is-applied to the bit by the weight of the drill stem, the teeth or cutting elements of the rollers will crush, chip or scrape the formation upon which the bit is rotated. The particles of formation thus dislodged will be carried out of the bore hole by drilling fluid which is pumped down through the drill stem and bit head, returning to the surface of the earth in the space between the drill stem and the wall of the bore hole being drilled.
One of the most important desired functions of the side rollers 9 and 10 is to cut and maintain the gage or diameter of the bore hole being drilled, so that succeeding drill bits, or other equipment, can be lowered to the bottom of the bore hole without having to ream down an undergage hole. The gage portion of the bore hole is diflicult to remove and maintain because the formation at the gage or outer portion of the bore hole is supported by the side wall of the hole thus making it more diflicult to dislodge, also, there is more material to be removed from the gage or outer portion of the bore hole because it is a greater distance from the center or the bore hole.
In my invention I provide more efiicient cutting ele ment arrangement to cut and maintain the gage of the bore hole by providing more material at the outer or gage cutting portions of the side rollers 9 and It) in the form of a radially extended web 14. This web 14 cuts a narrow kerf in the formation thereby reducing the support of the formation circumscribed by the kerf making it easier to disintegrate and remove from the hole bottom by the drill bit.
Also the cross rollers 7 and 8 may be provided with webs to cut additional kerfs in the formation to permit easier removal thereof.
Also, the webs 14 on the side rollers 9 and 10 and the webs 12 on the cross rollers 7 and 8, rolling in kerfs in the hole bottom stabilize the rollers from moving in an outboard or inboard direction with respect to the drill bit axis of rotation, because the webs act as flanges tending to keep the rollers in their respective paths during the drilling operation.
Figs. 3 and 4 show in detail a side roller 9 of the type shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and previously described. The roller 9 has a circumferential row of teeth 13 and a. circumferentially extending web 14 connecting the outer ends of the teeth 13 together. The web 14 extends radialice 1y beyond the teeth 13 as is clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
Fig. 5 shows a cone bitemploying the new and improved substantially conical rollers 15. The roller 15 has circumferentially disposed rows of teeth 16 and a circumferentially extending web or cutting element 17 connecting the ends of teeth 16 in the same row together. The web 17 extends radially of the roller beyond the teeth 16. The web 17 thus serves to support the teeth, and to cut a narrow kerf in the formation during the drilling operation.
Fig. 6 is a typical illustration of the action of the new and improved roller upon the formation. A portion of the side roller 9 having teeth 13 and web 14 is shown in operating position on the bottom of a bore hole. The web 14 is shown producing a kerf 18 in the formation A, and the teeth 13 are shown operating on the formation within the area defined by the kerf 18 but at a different level. The web 14- serves to cut and maintain the bore of the hole B.
In the actual use of a well drill employing the new and improved rollers, I have found that the cutting elements on the roller drill faster and tend to retain their original configuration and relationship. Even when the cutting elements are approximately half-worn away, the web still extends radially beyond the other cutting elements on the same roller.
It will be understood that the invention is not limited to the particular embodiments herein shown and described. Various changes within the scope of the following claims will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
Having disclosed and described my invention, I claim:
