    摘要: A spiral magnetic fluid composite sealing structure of a roller bit comprising a cone leg and a roller, wherein the roller and the cone leg are in rotatable connection in a fitting manner through a roller inner hole and a cone leg shaft journal, a sealing groove is formed in an opening end of the roller inner hole, and a spiral magnetic fluid sealing assembly is arranged in the sealing groove. Through the arrangement of the spiral magnetic fluid sealing assembly, a spiral sand discharging effect is realized, compared with a passive sealing mode, the sealing performance is greatly improved by active sand discharging mode, and the service life of sealing is significantly prolonged; a slurry sealing effect of magnetic fluid seals is realized, resulting the sealing gap is tightly sealed under the magnetic action; in addition, the automatic compensation function of magnetic fluid can also be realized.

    摘要: An isolated lubrication system for a drill bit is disclosed. The system comprises a body having a cutting arm with a journal and a rotary cutter mounted on the journal. The system also comprises a reservoir in a body to contain a fluid lubricant that isolated from communication outside the body. The system also comprises multiple conduits in communication with the reservoir and with respect to each other. The multiple conduits facilitate lubrication between the journal and the rotary cutter, including the bearings, by means of a gravitational force and/or a centrifugal force acting of the fluid lubricant. Further, the system comprises a sealing system. The sealing system includes a sealing cap provided to the reservoir, a seal provided between the journal and the rotary cutter, and a stepped passageway provided in a clearance between the rotary cutter and a cutting arm of the body.

    摘要: A seal structure includes a ring-shaped seal member. The seal member is disposed in a seal groove. The case includes a low-pressure lateral face in a cross section of the seal structure, the cross section being taken along an imaginary plane in parallel with a shaft axial direction of the shaft and passing through a center line of the shaft. The seal member includes a first protruding portion. The first protruding portion protrudes from a main portion having a bottom face in contact with the low-pressure lateral face, and has a shape such that the first protruding portion extends toward the shaft as the first protruding portion extends toward the low-pressure side. The first protruding portion includes a tip. The first protruding portion includes a contact region in contact with the shaft. The tip is closer to the low-pressure side than the contact region is.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a bore tube for a pressure compensation system in a roller cone drill bit. The bore tube includes a bit body having at least one support arm extending therefrom, a lubricant chamber in each support arm, a bore in each support arm extending from to the lubricant chamber to an exterior surface of each support arm, a tube in the bore of each support arm, and a floating bead in the tube and operable to move axially within the tube in response to a pressure of the environment surrounding the roller cone drill bit.

    摘要: A well tool can include inner and outer seals interposed between components of the well tool, and a circumferential spacer which prevents contact between the inner seal and one of the components which displaces relative to the inner seal. A method of sealing between components of a well tool can include sealingly engaging an outer seal between the components, and disposing an inner seal between the components, including spacing the inner seal away from one of the components, whereby the inner seal sealingly contacts one of the components only after the well tool is disposed in a well. A drill bit can include inner and outer seals interposed between components of the drill bit, and a circumferential spacer which prevents contact between the inner seal and one of the components, the circumferential spacer being positioned upstream of the outer seal relative to a lubricant supply of the drill bit.
