Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drill bit for percussive rock drilling according to the preamble of claim 1.
- FIG. 1 A previously known drill bit for percussive rock drilling configured in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 is illustrated in Fig 1.
- a drill bit of this type is for instance disclosed in WO 2004/003334 A1 (and US 2002/074797, US 2008/304904 or WO 01/38685).
- This known drill bit 1 comprises:
- an impact surface 8 for abutment against an end surface 9 of a drill rod, this impact surface 8 being formed at the bottom of the recess 4 and extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the drill bit.
- the part of the recess 4 between the inner end of the female thread 5 and the i mpact surface 8 is wider than the female thread so as to provide a thread clearance 1 0 at the inner end of the female thread.
- Each of US 3258077A and US 3258284 A discloses a drill bit having a shoulder abutment.
- J P 8 1 51 885 A on which the preamble of clai m 1 is based, discloses a drill bit with locally increased diameter of the drill bit in the vicinity of the i mpact surface.
- the object of the present invention is to achieve a further development of a drill bit of the above-mentioned type so as to provide a drill bit which is i mproved in at least some aspects.
- this object is achieved by a dri ll bit having the features defined in clai m 1 .
- the drill bit of the present invention comprises :
- skirt which has a first end and an opposite second end, the skirt being connected to the drill head at said first end ;
- every cross-section of the recess between the i mpact surface and the part of the recess where the female thread has its full thread profile has a cross-sectional area wh ich is smaller than the cross-sectional area of a cross-section of the recess at the part of the recess where the female thread has its full thread profile.
- the drill bit of the present invention lacks a widened thread clearance between the inner end of the female thread and the i mpact surface.
- Such a thread clearance wil l give a reduced thickness of the ski rt wal l in the part of the skirt wall surrounding the th read clearance as compared to the part of the skirt wall surroundi ng the female thread.
- Such a part of the skirt wall with reduced wall thickness, and consequently reduced cross-sectional area of the skirt wall will constitute a weakened part or fracture zone FZ (see Fig 1 ) at the drill bit.
- the present invention is based on the realization that the strength of the drill bit can be i mproved by dispensing with a thread clearance between the inner end of the female thread and the i mpact surface.
- the strength i mprovement has been measured to 1 8% for a drill bit according to the present invention as compared to a corresponding drill bit according the above-mentioned prior art.
- the recess of the dril l bit can be formed in such a manner that every cross-section of the recess between the i mpact surface and the part of the recess where the female thread has its full thread profile has a cross-sectional area which is smaller than the cross-sectional area of a cross-section of the recess at the part of the recess where the female thread has its full thread profile.
- no point of reduced strength is introduced in the part of the skirt extending between the i mpact surface and the female thread.
- cross- section of the recess refers to a section across the recess
- Fig 1 is a partly cut lateral view of a drill bit according to prior art connected to a drill rod
- Fig 2 is a partly cut lateral view of a drill bit according to
- Fig 3 is a partly cut lateral view of the drill bit according to Fig 2 connected to a drill rod.
- a drill bit 20 for percussive rock drilling according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in Figs 2 and 3.
- This drill bit 20 comprises a drill head 21, which is provided with rock cutting
- the rock cutting members are constituted by cemented carbide inserts in the form of front buttons 22 and peripheral buttons 23.
- the drill head 21 is connected to a skirt 24.
- the drill head 21 and the skirt 24 are formed in one piece of a suitable metallic material, such as for instance steel.
- the skirt 24 has a first end 24a, through which the skirt is connected to the drill head 21, and an opposite second end 24b.
- a recess 25 extends axially through the skirt 24 from the second end 24b of the skirt towards the first end 24a thereof. This recess 25 is provided with an internal, cylindrical female thread 26 for connection to a
- the female and male threads may be of any number of threads.
- the thread form shown in the figures is a rope thread.
- An impact surface 27 for abutment against an end surface 37 of a drill rod 30 is formed at the bottom of the recess 25. This i mpact surface 27 extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis A of the dril l bit 20.
- the recess 25 is suitably provided with one or more unthreaded cylindrical surfaces 28 between the outer end of the female rope thread 26 and the second end 24b of the skirt 24, as il lustrated in Figs 2 and 3.
- the recess 25 is in fluid com munication with the front end of the drill head 21 through a nu mber of flush channels 29 extending through the dril l head.
- the flush channels 29 of the drill bit are in fluid com munication with a flush channel (not shown) wh ich extends axially through the dril l rod along the centre axis thereof .
- full thread profile can be defined as the profile which is present along a majority of the entire thread length .
- the cross-sectional area of the recess 25 is gradually reduced from the inner end of the female thread 26 to the i mpact surface 27.
- the radial cross-sectional area of the recess 25 continuously increases along the recess from the i mpact surface 27 all the way on to the part of the recess where the female thread 26 has its full thread profile.
- the axial distance between the i m pact surface 27 and the inner end of the part of the recess where the female thread 26 has its full thread profi le is preferably 8-1 2 m m , which i mpl ies that the part of the recess where the female thread 26 has its full thread profile begins 8- 1 2 m m from the i mpact surface 27 as seen in the axial direction .
- the radial distance Ro from the longitudinal axis A of the drill bit 20 to the deepest point of the thread bottom of the female thread 26, i .e. the largest radius of the female thread, is preferably equal to or smaller than 1 8.5 m m at the part of the recess where the female thread has its full th read profile.
- the female thread 26 has 2.8-3.2 thread turns with full thread profile.
- the diameter Do of said i maginary cylinder C is preferably equal to or smaller than 37 m m , while fulfilling the following condition :
- L is the axial distance from the i mpact surface 27 to the outer end of the part of the recess where the female thread 26 has its full thread profile.
- An annular material zone MZ is formed between a cross-sectional plane P 1 extending throug h the i mpact surface 27 and the envelope surface of the above-mentioned i maginary cylinder C.
- the annular material zone MZ forms an area at a certain axial cross-section that tapers towards where the female thread has its full thread profile.
- the drill bit 20 is to be used for percussive rock drill ing with the dril l bit 20 connected to a top ham mer device throug h one or more dri ll rods 30.
- the female thread 26 of the drill bit according to the present invention is a cylindrical thread and not the type of conical th read used in drill pipes or dril l tubes for rotary oil dril ling .
