摘要:
A raise boring head for rotary boring in rock having a main body mountable at a drive shaft in which a mount face provides a supporting surface for a plurality of saddles that mount, in turn, respective roller cutters. At least one guide block is attached to the main body to project upwardly from the mount face and includes at least one guide face to facilitate the transport of cut material away from the mount face.

The present invention relates in general to subsurface drilling tools, and more specifically, to a drill bit comprising a ball shaped cutting tool. The drill bit is configured so that a plurality of cones, forming the ball shaped cutting tool, rotate in opposite directions around an axle while the drill bit is drilling or cutting through the ground, rock, or other material. The drilling or cutting is accomplished by a plurality of blade inserts that fit inside and protrude therefrom a plurality of holes covering the exterior of the ball shaped cutting tool. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new and improved subsurface drilling tool that will efficiently drill hard rock formations.

A rotary cutter mount for an earth-boring cutter is provided which includes a ball bearing journal [100] adapted to be coupled to a cutter body [210], having a minimum [110] and a maximum [120] cylindrical diameter, and a first [115] and second [116] mounting ends. The maximum diameter [120] defines a journal body [122] which includes an exterior surface adapted to be rotationally coupled to the interior surface of the cutter body [210] so as to allow the cutter body [210] to rotate freely with respect to the bearing journal [110]. The minimum [110] diameter defines a shaft portion having sealing surfaces. The first [115] and a second [116] mounting ends are shaped to enable a rotationally fixed positioning of the bearing journal [100] in a yoke of a corresponding cutter head-plate support bracket. A row of ball-bearing races [126] is recessed to extend circumferentially about the exterior surface of the journal body [122]. A ball loading passage [118] is formed to extend as a clear bore axially outward through the journal body [122] of the bearing journal [100].

A raise boring reamer assembly includes a saddle, and a journal assembly carried by the saddle. The journal assembly includes nose and gage shanks, and a cutter is carried by the journal assembly. Nose and gage wiper rings are positioned proximate to the nose and gage shanks, respectively. The nose and gage wiper rings move debris in opposed directions in response to the rotation of the cutter.

A raise boring head includes a roller cutter body and a saddle intended for rotary drilling in earth and rock formations. The roller cutter body is rotatably journalled on a shaft that is provided with two shaft spigots at its opposite ends. Each spigot has a second support surface provided for cooperation with a first support surface of the saddle to hold the roller cutter to the saddle. Each shaft spigot is provided with a hole for receiving a fastener that also passes through the second support surface in order to connect the shaft spigot to the saddle. The first support surface and the second support surface are curved. The first support surface and the second support surface connect directly or indirectly to stop shoulders for counteracting rotation of the shaft. The fastener is eccentric to the shaft axis and arranged to press the stop surfaces together.

A hole opener (10) having a tubular body (11) with threaded ends (12, 14) for connection in a drill string. The hole opener provides slots or grooves (21, 21′) along its longitudinal axis (16) into which are inserted cutter arm support members (30, 30′, 60, 60′) which may be screwed, (43) pinned (68) or bolted (168) to the body (11) to permit easy replacement of the support arms (30). The grooves (21, 21′) in the body (11) of the hole opener (10) also provide a spindle (20) spatially aligned with the groove (21, 21′) to support the proximal end of a rotatable journal body (28) supporting the cutter body (25) providing hard facing for grinding of the bore hole to be enlarged. The support arms (30) at their distal end provide further support for the cutter journals (70). The hole opener (10) also may provide pressure compensated lubrication mechanism (71) to provide grease to the bearing surfaces to increase their service life and thereby extend the useful life of the tool.

The present invention refers to a cutter (10;10') of a boring head, said cutter (10;10') being rotatably mounted, via a shaft (11;11') of the cutter, in a saddle secured to the boring head, a roller bearing means being located between the shaft (11;11') and a hub (18;18'), means (23;23'a,23'b) for axially locking the roller bearing means relative to the shaft (11;11') and sealing arrangements between the hub (18;18') and the locking means (23;23'a,23'b), said roller bearing means including at least one inner race (12;12'a,12'b) that is mounted on the shaft (11;11') and a set of tapered rollers (15;15'a,15'b) mounted in an outer circumferential recess (13;13'a,13'b) of the inner race (12;12'a,12'b), said hub (18;18') being rotatable relative to the shaft (11;11') via said roller bearing means, said rotatable hub (18;18') carrying rock working means (20;20'). The invention also refers to a hub (18;18') per se and a method of manufacturing a hub (18;18').There is always a need to improve the bearing capacity of cutters of the above-mentioned type. An improved bearing capacity means that higher feeding forces can be applied upon the boring head, said higher feeding force will give an increased penetration rate.The present invention is characterized by a roller bearing means where outer races (17;17'a,17'b) for the sets of tapered rollers (15;15'a,15'b) are integral with the hub (18;18').

A drill bit includes a rolling cutter having a plurality of circumferential rows of teeth protruding from the body of the cutter. At least one of the rows of teeth is a closed-end circumferential row located on the surface of the cutter along a closed-end circumferential path. The latter is a non-circular curve defined by a surface intersecting the body of the cutter obliquely with respect to its longitudinal axis.
摘要:
A drill bit has a plurality of roller cutters mounted on a front face of the drill bit. The roller cutters are mounted in pairs which are equidistantly spaced from an axis of rotation of the drill bit. Each roller cutter is rotatably mounted in a saddle affixed on the front face. The roller cutters are reversibly mounted in their saddles. Each roller cutter includes a plurality of circumferentially extending cutting structures spaced apart along an axis of rotation of the roller cutter. The cutting structures are arranged non-symmetrically relative to a center plane through the roller cutter so that when a roller cutter is reversed, the location of kerfs cut by the roller cutter change.
