Shaped Cutter With Peripheral Cutting Teeth And Tapered Open Region - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956659 titled 'Shaped Cutter With Peripheral Cutting Teeth And Tapered Open Region
Simplified Explanation
The shaped cutter described in the patent application has a plurality of peripheral cutting teeth to enhance drilling by exploiting various rock failure modes such as shearing, indentation, impacting, scraping, and grinding. The peripheral cutting teeth are strategically located along the periphery to maximize cutting energy and forces. Additionally, an open region radially inward of the peripheral cutting teeth may be axially recessed to increase the proportion of cutting load on the peripheral cutting teeth. The cutting table is tapered to modify the back rake angle, and the flared periphery results in a sharper indentation angle and/or larger radius of contact. The plurality of cutting teeth can also leverage vibrations in the drill string to further enhance rock failure.
- Peripheral cutting teeth strategically located along the periphery
- Open region radially inward of the cutting teeth to increase cutting load proportion
- Tapered cutting table to modify back rake angle
- Flared periphery for sharper indentation angle and larger radius of contact
- Exploitation of vibrations in the drill string for enhanced rock failure
Potential Applications
The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various drilling operations, including mining, oil and gas exploration, geothermal drilling, and construction.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the challenge of enhancing drilling efficiency and effectiveness in hard rock formations by utilizing a shaped cutter with peripheral cutting teeth to exploit different rock failure modes.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved drilling performance, increased productivity, reduced wear on drilling equipment, and potentially lower overall drilling costs.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include selling or licensing the shaped cutter design to drilling equipment manufacturers, offering drilling services using this innovative technology, and providing consulting services for optimizing drilling operations.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of shaped cutters with peripheral cutting teeth in other drilling applications, but the specific design and features described in this patent application may be unique and innovative in the field.
Original Abstract Submitted
A shaped cutter has a plurality of peripheral cutting teeth to enhance drilling. The shaped cutter may enhance rock failure modes in addition to shearing, such as by indentation, impacting, scraping and grinding. The peripheral cutting teeth are located along the periphery, where cutting energy and forces may be highest. An open region radially inward of the peripheral cutting teeth may be axially recessed to increase the proportion of cutting load on the peripheral cutting teeth. The cutting table may be tapered to modify a back rake angle. The flared periphery may result in a sharper indentation angle and/or larger radius of contact. The plurality of cutting teeth may also exploit vibrations in the drill string to enhance rock failure.
