Nov. 30, 1954 H. SALVATORI ETAL TOOL FOR REMOVING MATERIAL FROM WELL BORE WALLS Filed May 4, 1951 United States Patent REMOVING MATERIAL FROM WELL BORE WALLS Application May 4, 1951, Serial No. 224,568 7 Claims. (Cl. 255-73) TOOL FOR This invention relates to well tools of a type for engaging and removing material from a well bore wall, and in certain respects is particularly concerned with improved reamer devices.
In well reamers and similar tools, comprising a tool body and a number of cutters or other wall engaging elements carried by the body, it is extremely important that the wall engaging elements be attached to the body as securely as possible. As will be appreciated, these elements and their mountings are subject to very great stresses in use, and unless securely fastened to the body may break loose and necessitate an expensive and time consuming fishing job. On the other hand, though these cutters or other elements should be very securely mounted to the body, they should also be mounted in a way permitting their easy removal and replacement.
The general object of the present invention is to provide an improved mounting arrangement for such tool elements, especially designed to facilitate rapid mounting and removal of the elements, and at the same time so constructed as to virtually eliminate any possibility that an element may be torn loose from the body in use. Particularly contemplated is an arrangement such that a cutter may be attached to a body by means of one or more easily'applied relatively light fasteners, while in use these fasteners are not subjected to the great stresses of operation. More specifically, the mounting is so constructed that all stresses on the cutter or element are transmitted directly to and are taken by the body itself, in a manner positively protecting the fasteners against failure. In the past, the fasteners themselves have been required to take a large part of the cutter stresses and as a result have in many instances failed, permitting detachment of the cutters.
To attain the above results, we employ an arrangement including a retaining or mounting member slidably mounted to the body for movement between an assembled or active position and a retracted cutter releasing position, together with a locking member which acts to hold the mounting member in active position. By virtue of its sliding mounting, the mounting member is retained by the body. itself against outward separation from the body, whileat the same time being easily removable when desired by that same sliding movement. The locking member abuts at opposite sides against the mounting member and an opposed body shoulder, so that all forces tending to retract the mounting member are transmitted directly to the body, which of course is built heavily enough to resist those forces. Preferably, the locking member has a pair of oppositely facing parallel surfaces extending transversely of the direction in which the mounting member is slidably movable and engaging correspondingly parallel surfaces on the mounting member and the body shoulder respectively.
The slidable cutter mounting member may serve as a support for one end of a shaft on which a rotatable cutter is carried. Preferably, this member is formed as an integral enlargement on the shaft. At the opposite end of the shaft, we may provide a second mounting member also slidably engaging the body for retention against outward separation from the body.
For mounting each cutter, the body may have at one side a main recess within which the cutter is received, and a pair of auxiliary recesses opening into opposite ends of the main recess for receiving the mounting members.. The mounting members may then have lateral surfaces 34 and 35 on "ice projections received in grooves in the auxiliary recess walls to guide the members for their sliding movement.
The above and other features and objects of the present invention will be better understood from the following detailed description of the typical embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side view of a well reamer embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view taken longitudithiiough one of the reamer cutters along line 22 0 1g.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary transverse section through the lower cutter mounting member, taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary exploded perspective of the cutter shaft, its upper mounting enlargement, and the locking member; and i Fig. 5 is a fragmentary transverse section through the cutter taken on line 55 of Fig. l.
Referring first to Fig. 1, the illustrated well reaming tool 10 includes a tubular externally cylindrical vertically extending body 11 connectable into a tool string by the usual upper and lower threaded ends 12 and 13. At locations spaced circularly about its outer surface, body 11 carries three or more elongated wangularly extending rotary reamer cutters 14 for engaging and reaming a well bore wall.
Each of the cutters 14 is partially received within an elongated partial cylindrical recess 15 in the body of a diameter only slightly larger than the cutter. At the upper and lower ends of this main cutter receiving recess '15, the body contains a pair of upper and lower reduced its illustrated active position within recess 17 by first,
moving the member into main recess 15 and then sliding flanges into their respective body grooves. At its lower end, member 18 has a transverse end surface 22 abutting directly against member 18 to the body. Screw 24 extends through member 18 and into the body to stabilize the member in its active position.
The upper end of shaft 20 has an integral enlargement 25 received within the upper auxiliary recess 16 and serving as a second mounting member for positioning the upper end of the shaft. The lower portion 26 of upper recess 16 is of a transverse configuration corresponding to the lower auxiliary recess, as seen in Fig. 3, the side wall of this portion of the upper recess having undercut grooves 27 receiving lateral flanges 28 on shaft enlargement 25 to slidably mount that shaft enlargement for movement toward and away from the main recess 15. The upper portion 29. of upper auxiliary recess 16 is of a width at all points corresponding to the inner flanged portions of shaft enlargement 25, so that the shaft may be slid upwardly into this upper portion of recess 16 and then be removed outwardly from the body. A screw 30 retains the shaft enlargement to the body in its illustrated active position.
An essentially square locking member 31 is receivable within the upper portion 29 of recess 16 and in the upward retracting path of shaft enlargement 25 to positively maintain the enlargement in its active position. This locking member has a pair of parallel surfaces 32 and 33 at its upper and lower sides extending perpendicularly to the upward path of movement of the shaft enlargement 25, and engaging correspondingly parallel transverse the body and shaft enlargement respectively. The width of locking member 31 is sub stantially equal to the width of the upper portion 29 of recess 16. t The locking member is fastened to the tool body by a screw 36,. whose head may be protected by ;reception within a counterbore 136.
In mounting one of the cutters 14 to body 11, the first step is to insert the lower mounting member 18 into main recess 15 and then slide it downwardly into lower auxiliary recess 17, after which this mounting member is fastened to the body by screw 24. Roller 14 is then slipped onto shaft 20, and the shaft enlargement 25 inserted into upper portion 29 of auxiliary recess 16 and slid downwardly to its illustrated active position. As the shaft moves downwardly, its lower end moves into recess 19 in the lower mounting member 18, so that both ends of the shaft are accurately positioned. Application of screw 30 fastens the shaft enlargement in its active position. Locking member 31 may then be inserted into the upper portion of recess 16 and attached to the body by screw 36. If it is desired to remove the cutter 14, it is necessary merely to remove screws 30 and 36 after which locking member 31, the shaft and the cutter may be easily slipped out of the body.
The illustrated mounting arrangement is so designed that the various forces exerted against cutter M in operation are all transmitted directly to and taken by the body itself in a manner eliminating any possibility of the failure of the various fasteners 24-, 3d and 36, and consequently assuring against the detachment of the cutter from the body by those forces. For instance, movement of mounting member 18, the shaft or the cutter radially outwardly from the body is positively prevented by reception of flanges on member 18 and shaft enlargement 25 within the body undercuts. Downward forces against member 18 are transmitted directly to the body shoulder 23 at the end of auxiliary recess 17. Upward forces against shaft enlargement 25 are transmitted through locking member 31 to body shoulder 34. It is par ticularly noted that by virtue of the extension of the upper and lower surfaces 32 and 33 on locking member 31 transversely of the upward retracting path of shaft enlargement 25, no appreciable force is exerted against fastener 36 tending to break the locking member loose from the body.
The formation of shaft 20 to have an integral enlargement 25 at its upper end, rather than a separately formed upper mounting member, results in the attainment of several distinct and highly important advantages. In the first place, such formation of the shaft in tegrally with its upper mounting member positively prevents any rotation of the shaft, and any wear which might result from such rotation. Further, the integral arrangement is much stronger than would be a separately formed type of construction, and yet at the same time minimizes the space required for the upper mounting assembly, the shaft enlargement being of a considerably shorter axial dimension than would be possible if it were formed separately in the manner of the lower mounting member.
