Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to tips in rock or mining bits for use in a rock excavation apparatus.
  • the disclosure particularly relates to tips with hollow bases.
  • Rotary drilling is conducted by rotating a rigid string of tubular rods to which a rock-cutting bit is attached.
  • the rotary drill imparts two basic actions through the drill rod and bit into the rock, i.e. axial thrust and rotational torque.
  • Percussive drills break rock predominantly by crushing and chipping rock with the repeated application of high-frequency, high-energy blows through a drill bit.
  • the impact energy is developed by a piston that strikes the bit (down-the-hole drill) or drill steel (surface-mounted drill).
  • tips are often made of cemented carbide, most commonly tungsten carbide, due to its excellent combination of high hardness and high toughness.
  • the tips can also be made of polycrystalline diamond (PCD).
  • PCD polycrystalline diamond
  • the purpose of the tips is mainly to apply pressure to and fracture rock.
  • tips are also positioned on the drill bit body as protection for the surrounding steel. The tips must therefore withstand high compressive and transverse loads.
  • the tungsten carbide tips are commonly mounted in cylindrical recesses in the outer surface of the drill bit body.
  • the tips can be made a few hundredths of a mm larger than the recess and are pressed in to have a tight interference fit to prevent loosening during usage.
  • Tungsten carbide tips are also used for soft cutting conditions such as excavation of coal.
  • the tips are, in this application, often named caps and are often adhesively bonded to a pick body by, for example, brazing or welding.
  • tungsten carbide tips such as a part-spherical, conical, a double cone, a ballistic and a chisel crest. Common for these different shapes is that the base, also called mounting portion, of the tip is generally cylindrical.
  • tips having a diameter of about 2 cm or larger In many applications it is advantageous to use tips having a diameter of about 2 cm or larger.
  • the advantages being that fewer tips need to be used and also that the protrusion of the tip from the surface of the bit body can be greater while maintaining adequate strength to avoid transverse failure during the excavation operation. Having large tips concentrates the load to fewer tips and greater rock penetration can be obtained without engagement of the steel surface, resulting in improved excavation rate. Having large tips that extend a greater distance from the bit also increases the lifetime of the bit as the large tips can accommodate appreciable wear before they are worn out.
  • the present inventor has surprisingly found that several prominent problems occur at tips with hollow bases.
  • One is that the base of the tip tends to get oval in shape.
  • Another problem is that the form of the tip tends to get conical, i.e. the diameter of the mounting portion decreases when approaching the very bottom of the tip. Ovality and conicity in the mounting portion decreases the force for pulling the tip from the drill bit body and therefore loosening of the tip is an unfavorable consequence.
  • the mounting portion may crack when a tip is press fitted into a recess in the drill bit body.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a hollow tip concept, which has better strength than known hollow tips. Another object is to provide a hollow tip concept which can be produced at a lower cost compared to solid tips, thus solving the above mentioned problems.
  • a rock bit tip comprising: a mounting portion, an end portion converging from a top end of the mounting portion to form a work surface and at least one recess in a bottom of the mounting portion, the recess extending towards said end portion, wherein there are more than one recess.
  • a rock bit comprising a tip with more than one recess.
  • the number of recesses, and their sizes, may be altered compared to the examples described in the above-captioned embodiments. It is also possible to combine recesses with different sizes and shapes into a new embodiment. The depth of the recesses can also be varied, but the recesses are always of the blind hole type.
