67 DISCRETE ELEMENT MODELING OF ROCK DESTRUCTION UNDER HIGH PRESSURE CONDITIONS EP07862347.7 2007-11-29 EP2089605A2 2009-08-19 LEDGERWOOD, Leroy W.
Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) of rock subject to high confining pressures, such as in a subterranean drilling environment, may be used to predict performance of cutting structures used in drill bits and other drilling tools, as well as of the tools themselves. DEM may also be used to create 'virtual' rock exhibiting specific drillability characteristics with or without specific reference to any actual rock, for purposes of assessing cutting efficiency of various cutting structure configurations and orientations, as well as of drilling tools incorporating same.

78 ROTARY CONE DRILL BIT WITH ANGLED RAMPS EP95943014 1995-12-06 EP0796385A4 2000-09-06 HUFFSTUTLER ALAN DEE; CAMPOS HARRY MORALES JR
A rotary cone drill bit for forming a borehole having a bit body with an upper end portion adapted for connection to a drill string. A number of support arms extend from the bit body. Each support arm has an exterior surface. A number of cutter cone assemblies equal to the number of support arms are mounted respectively on the support arms and project generally downwardly and inwardly with respect to an associated support arm. A ramp is formed on the exterior surface of the support arm and is inclined at an angle from a leading edge of the support arm toward a trailing edge of the support arm such that the ramp directs cuttings upward in the borehole.
79 A DRILLING APPARATUS EP97903156 1997-02-26 EP0883730A4 2000-08-02 MOLLOY ANTHONY JOHN
The invention provides an excavation bit (10) which is constructed from either a single or double carrier. If two carriers (14 and 15) are present the carriers (14, 15) are contra-rotating. By the off setting of the axes of rotation (17 and 18) of single or dual carriers from a longitudinal axis (22) of the bit (10) and by driving the carriers to rotate, a ground engaging thrust is produced, as well as the rotation of the excavation bit (10) in the ground as a consequence of the rotation of the carriers, and not vice versa as is the case with prior art. By the invention, there can result sufficient thrust on the bit (10) by the rotation of the carriers (14 and 15) so that the need to apply thrust down the bore via the drill rod is reduced or eliminated. As a result of the invention the number and/or size of the ground engaging tools (25) are not a function of the bore diameter to be drilled. Thus as the excavation bit is scaled up for larger diameter bores more ground engaging tools (25) and/or an increase in their size is not required. By the invention, thrust applied (either via the drill rod or from the rotation of the carriers) is thought to be, through a quasi lever system, multiplied at some of the ground engaging tools in the radial direction. That is the total thrust in the longitudinal axis direction (whether externally applied or resultant from the contra-rotation of the carriers), is multiplied so that the outward forces exerted (by the cutters onto the rock surface in the region approaching perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bore) is thought to be significantly higher than the magnitude of the total thrust.

A novel split threaded ring bearing member (42) for rolling cutter drill bits with at least a portion of its threads (48) having a different pitch than its mating threads (40) is disclosed. The pitch difference is designed so that the threaded ring can be seated or otherwise located precisely with respect to the other bearing elements within the drill bit to effectively control the axial displacement of the rolling cutter (18) on the bearing spindle (16) within a given tolerance range. Upon assembly, the difference in thread pitch causes the opposite, opposing mating thread flanks to engage, effectively applying a tensile or compressive force to a portion of the threaded ring bearing member (42), which gradually increases as the assembly is tightened. The result is an improved rolling cutter drill bit with a threaded ring cutter bearing system with excellent resistance to back-off which will not allow significant radial movement between the engaged threads, even if some back-off of the threads occurs.
