Definitions
- the present invention relates to a segment for a core drill bit and to a method of manufacture of the segment.
- the present Applicant is the proprietor of the RETRACTABIT retractable drill bit system.
- This system is the subject of numerous patents including US Patent Nos 5,662,182; US 5,954,146; US 5,813,481; US 5,743,344 and US 5,785,133.
- the system incorporates a core drill bit composed of a plurality of separate segments that can be replaced in situ without the need to pull an associated drill string.
- Each bit segment is in the form of an elongated member having an upper end configured to engage a seat in a drive sub, opposite first and second sides which are configured to cooperate with adjacent surfaces of the drive sub and a bit locking sleeve, and a lower end to which is fixed a matrix.
- the matrix is of conventional form comprising a combination of metal powders and diamonds which are bonded to the lower end of the members by application of heat and pressure.
- the area of matrix is reduced to about 60% of a standard wire line core bit of the same diameter. Therefore, in order to achieve the same penetration rates as with a standard wire line core less weight is required on the RETRACTABIT drill bit. Nevertheless, in practice it has been found that at times drill rig operators apply the bit weight for standard wire line core bits which, for an NQ size bit is in the order of 1350 - 2000 kg and, for a HQ size bit is between 1800 - 3600 kg.
- the ideal weight applied to the corresponding sized RETRACTABIT drill bits is 810 - 1680 kg; and 1080 - 2160 kg respectively.
- the RETRACTABIT core bit segment is composed of individual members having a matrix bonded to a lower end thereof, it is thought that the bond strength of the matrix to each member may be less than the bond strength of the matrix to the conventional one piece cylindrical core bit.
- the RETRACTABIT core bit can be manufactured in one of two ways. The first involves providing a cylindrical blank, bonding the matrix to one end of the blank in accordance with the technique used for the manufacture of standard core bits and then cutting the blank with the bonded matrix into individual segments and machining the surfaces of the segments. For an NQ size bit this method can produce four or more individual segments per blank.
- An alternate method is to manufacture the members that compose the segments individually and then bond the matrix to them in say groups of four or five.
- This group size is largely dependent upon the standard size moulds and jigs used for applying the matrix.
- this method involves the method of relatively complex jigs in order to hold the individual members.
- a segment for a core drill bit comprising at least: an elongated member having an upper end, a lower end, a front side and an opposite second side; and a matrix attached to said lower end and extending toward said upper end along the first and second sides of the member.
- the lower end of the member is provided with a lip turned upwardly to extend in front of the first side of the member to define a recess for seating a lower edge of a drive sub and where in said matrix extends up said lip on the outside of said recess.
- said matrix includes a first side on the first side of the member and an opposite second side on the second side of the member and where for a lower portion of the matrix the first and second sides of the matrix are substantially parallel to each other and for an upper portion of the matrix the first and second sides of the matrix converge toward the first and second sides respectively of the member.
- the first side of the matrix converges so as to meet an upper edge of the lip.
- the second side of the matrix converges toward the second side of the member at a first location above a trough of the recess.
- the matrix includes gauging means on the second side for cutting an outer surface, said gauging means disposed between said trough and said first location.
- the first side of the matrix commences to converge toward the first side of the member at a point above the lower end of the member.
- a method of manufacturing a bit segment for a core drill bit including the steps of: fo ⁇ ning a plurality of side by side members with mutually adjacent members joined by integrally formed webs, the members juxtaposed to form a cylinder like structure, each member having an upper end, a lower end, a first side and an opposite second side, with the cylinder like structure having a lower end defined by the lower ends of the members, and an upper end defined by the respective upper ends of the members; forming a matrix at the lower end of the cylinder like structure; configuring the matrix so that it extends across the lower end of the cylinder like structure and up the first and second sides of the members toward the upper ends of the members; and fragmenting said cylinder like structure . into separate segments each of which comprises a member with matrix attached at its lower end, the matrix extending toward the upper end of the member along the first and second
- the method includes, for an NQ size core drill bit, forming said cylinder like structure with six side by side members.
- Figure 1 is a side view of a core drill bit segment in accordance with an embodiment of this invention
- Figure 2 is a bottom view of the segment shown in Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of a blank used in the manufacture of the segment shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 4 is a front view of the blank shown in Figure 3;
- Figure 5 is a longitudinal section view of the blank shown in Figures 3 and 4;
- Figure 6 is a bottom view of the blank
- Figure 7 is a top view of the blank
- Figure 8 is a section view of a core drill bit segment loaded into a drive sub
- Figure 9 is an enlarged view of detail A of Figure 8.
- Figures I and 2 depict a core drill bit segment 10 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the segment 10 comprises an elongated member 12 having an upper end 14, a lower end 16, first side 18 and opposite second side 20. Attached to the lower end 16 is matrix 22.
- the matrix 22 is of conventional opposition and includes a combination of metallic powders and diamonds that are in effect fused to the lower end 16 by application of heat and pressure. As is most apparent from Figure 1, the matrix 22, while depending from the lower end 16 also extends upwardly toward the upper end 14 along the first and second side 18, 20 of the member 12.
- the lower end 16 of the member 12 is provided with a lip 24 that is turned upwardly to extend in front of the first side 18 to define a recess 26 for seating a lower edge of a drive sub 25 (shown in Figures 8 and 9). It will be noted that the matrix 22 extends along the lip 24 on the outside of the recess 26.
- the matrix 22 has a first side 28 on the first side 18 of the member 12, an opposite side 30 on the second side 20 of the member 12, and a bottom planar side 32 extending transversely to and joining at opposite edges the first and second sides 28 and 30.
- the first and second sides 28, 30 are substantially parallel to each other. However, for an upper portion of the matrix, the surfaces 28 and 30 converge toward the first and second sides 18, 20 respectively of the member 12.
- the point of convergence is, in this embodiment, different for the opposite surfaces 28 and 30 of the matrix.
- the surface 28 commences to converge toward the side 18 at a point 34 that is located above the lower end 16 of the member but lower than trough 36 of the recess 26.
- the surface 28 converges so as to meet upper edge 38 of the lip 24.
- Surface 30 commences to converge toward side 20 at a point 40.
- the point 40 is located above the trough 36 (and thus above point 34) and in approximate alignment with the upper edge 38 of lip 24.
- Gauge cutting means such as diamonds or tungsten carbide pieces/buttons 41 are bonded to surface 30 in a region between the immediate vicinity of trough 36 and point 40.
- the gauge cutting means cut the gauge or outer diameter of the core sample.
- Figures 8 and 9 depict a segment 10 loaded or coupled to a drive sub 25.
- the drive sub 25 is provided with a tapered region 27 in the vicinity of its lowest axial end 29.
- the taper 27 is configured so that the outer diameter of the drive sub 25 decreased in the direction toward its lower edge 29.
- the recess 26 is configured so that it does not match the configuration of the taper 27. More specifically, the recess 26 is deliberately mismatched to the taper 27 in a manner so as to encourage pivoting of the segment 10 about the bottom of the trough 36 in a direction away from an axis of the drive sub 24 as indicated by arrow P.
- any pivotal motion of the lower end of the member 12 and the matrix 22 will be about the trough 36 in a direction away from the central axis of the drive sub 25. Due to the location of the gauge stones 41 such motion results in the gauge stones 41 travelling along an arcuate path displacing them initially in a direction toward the longitudinal axis of drive sub 25 and then away from that axis. In terms of the gauge of the core cut this results in an initial minor reduction in the gauge of the core and a similar increase in the gauge. This variation in the gauge is in the order of 0.5 mm.
- the initial step in manufacturing the bit segment 10 is to form a cylinder like structure or blank 42.
- the blank 42 is composed of a plurality (in this instance six) side by side members 12a - 12f (hereinafter referred to in general as members 12(i) where mutually adjacent members 12(i) are joined by integrally formed webs 44.
- the members 12(i) are of identical shape and orientation and are aligned so that their upper ends 14 and lower ends 16 lie in respective common spaced apart horizontal planes.
- the blank 42 has an upper end 46 defined by the upper ends 14 of the members 12(i) and a lower end 48 defined by the lower ends 16 of the members 12(i).
- the blank 42 could in theory be made by moulding, however it is preferred that the blank 42 be made by machining a cylindrical tube to define the individual members 12(i) and adjoining webs 44.
- the next stage in the manufacture is to form the matrix 22 together with the gauge cutting means 41 at the lower end 48 of the blank 42.
- the matrix is configured so that it extends across the lower end 48 of the blank 42 and up the first and second sides 18, 20 respectively of each of the members 12i.
- a tang can be provided at the bottom end 16 of the member 12 to increase the bonding surface area for the matrix 22.
- the shape and configuration of the webs 44 adjoining adjacent members 12(i) in the blank 42 can be made of any desired shape and configuration.
