Description
Dec. 29, 1964 VAGINS ETAL 7 3,163,246
United States Patent Or 3,163,246 ROCK DRILL BIT Milton Vagins, Worthington, and Ralph Simon, Colum- The present invention relates generally to improvements in the art of rock drilling and relates more particularly to the provision of an improved rock drill bit suitable for use with either rotary or percussive drills and also par- I ticularly adapted for rotary-percussive operation.
In the drilling of rock, the majority of operations presently employ either a percussive drill or a rotary drill dependent upon the types of rock encountered. Normally, percussive drilling is employed for hard rock, such as granite, and for extremely abrasive softer rock, such as sandstone; and rotary drilling is used on soft types of rock, such as shale. In the percussion method, apparatus is used which performs constant percussion blows against the rock with the boring member or bit being backed off between blows and rotated or indexed slightly to a new striking position. On the other hand, the rotary type employs apparatus in which a constant and uninterrupted rotation is'imparted to the bit which is retained under pressure and in constant contact with the rock.
While both the percussion drilling method and the rotary drilling method have been in widespreaduse for many years, neither of these modes can drill very hard rock types or extremely abrasive rock types at a high rate of penetration without the application of high power inputs andlarge applied thrust wihch, in turn, results in added down time due to drill-steel failure and excessive bit wear. Furthermore, since specialized drilling machinery is required for each type of drilling with vastly different bits being used in each instance, the investment in equipment necessary in order to operate satisfactorily under varying conditions a well as the costs resulting from down time for changing drills are undesirably high.
Accordingly, in fairly recent years, it has been proposed to combine the percussion method of drilling with the rotary method. This type of drilling operation is commonly referred to as a rotary-percussion method, and in exploiting the same, the drilling tool or bit is rotated constantly with sufficient thrust applied so that the mode of action of the bit cutting edges, charcteristic of rotary drilling is attained, while being simultaneously subjected to a constant series of percussion blows.
only limited success due to the fact that the drilling rnachines have been relatively'large and cumbersome and therefore incapable of operations in restricted areas. Furthermore, conventional bits of the type used in rotary drilling as Well as those used with ordinary percussion apparatus have not proven adaptable for combined rotarya percussion operations, and the redesigned bits heretofore However, the rotar y-percussion method of drilling has thus far enjoyed proposed for rotary-percussive drilling have likewise not been entirely satisfactory.
For example the bit shown and described in United States Patent No. 2,294,004, dated August 25, 1942, is of one-piece construction with the'wings. formed integral with the body and radiating outwardly from the apex of the head' along spiral or helical paths which virtually preeludes the use of wear resistant cutting inserts as .a practical matter due to the complicated, if not impossible, machining operation which would be necessitated. Thus, in order that the one-piece bits of Patent No. 2,294,004 have any wear resistance whatsoever to the impacts resulting from rotary-percussive drilling, they must be formed specification wherein like reference characters designate Patented Dec. 29, 1964 ice in their entireties of selected metals specially treated and machined at relatively high and prohibitive cost.
Another type of bit heretofore proposed for rotary-percussion operation i shown and described in United States Patent No. 2,507,221, dated May 9, 1950, wherein the cutting wing or contact edge is formed separately of the body of a wear resistant material and in which flushing holes are provided in the head. However, the symmetrical angles of the cutting elements of this type of bit on opposite sides of their apices have proven inefficient for rotary-percussive drilling, and the sharp terminal portions of the wings have been found to deteriorate rapidly clue to extreme impact forces in these areas. Furthermore, the placement of the flushing holes inrelation to the cutting inserts is relatively ineffectual in cooling the inserts, and these bits have therefore not proven entirely satisfactory for combined rotary-percussion drilling.
United States Patent No. 2,756,967, dated July 31, 1956, shows and describes another type of rotary-percussion drill bit which recognizes some of the shortcomings of the prior tools, and this bit has enjoyed a fair degree-of success. in. sharp angular corners at the periphery of the head, and since the greatest rates of bit wear occur near the outer gage of the bit due to the fact that the amount of rock broken out per unit length of bit edge increases in proportion to the radial distance from the axis of rotation, these corne-r'portions are subjected to the greatest force and friction in use and consequently cause a shortened wear life. Also, the relatively sharp angularity of the mating portions of adjacent surfaces of the head of this prior bit have been found to create fatigue points, and the means for cooling the cutting elements still leaves something to be desired. f
It is therefore an object-of the present invention to provide an improved bitfor rotary-percussion drilling which. obviates the disadvantages and objections attendant prior tools intended for similar use,
Another object of this invention is to provide a rotary- L percussion drill bit which has a cutting head of hemispheroidal shape and wherein the. cutting elements or wings are curved in'a plane which includes the axis of the bit so as to increase the length of cutting edge per unit increase in radial distance fromthe axis of rotation to equalize the amount of rock broken by all portions of the cutting edge per unit distance advanceof the drill and tending to equalize the wear of the cutting edges over, their entire lengths, thus-resulting in maximum operating efiicien'cy and long life. i z- Still another object of the invention is to provide an improved bit of the rotary-percussion type which hasa body and cutting edges so designed as to eliminate sharp fatigue points and points of stress concentration, and
' These and other objects and advantages of the invention apparent from the following detailed descripf- 1 will become tion.
A clear conception of the construction'of a typical rotary-percussion drill bit embodying the improvements constituting the present invention may be had by referring to' the drawings accompanying and forming a partofthis the same or similar parts in the several views. r
However, the wings of this hit again terminate FIG. -1 is aside elevation of a typical embodiment of removable drill bit body;

FIG.'11' is another transverse section taken along the line 11 -11 of FIG. 1; and i and theplacement and formation of these holes 27 is extremely important inprolonging the life of the bits and their cutting elements. To form the flushing holes 27, conduits 28 are punched in the head 17 during fabrication thereof, such conduits 28 extending through the head from the inner end of the tapered socket 21' to the exterior of the. head at an inclined angle relative to the bit axis as shown in FIG. 4." T he {angles 29 at which the conduits should'preferably be formed with 'respect to the bit axis approximate twenty-eight to thirty degrees, and thus, form openings 27 in the head which; are of oblong shape in the direction of the bit axis so'as to closely follow the curvature of the extending wear portions 23of the cutting elements 19.
To augment the cooling effect and chip: clearance ob- 'tained by proper formation and placement of the flushing FIG. 12 is an end view of 'a somewhat modified drill bit 5 embodying the invention butprovided' with three blades or wings; 1 7
While the invention has been shown'and described herein as being especially applicable to a rotary-percus sion drill bit havinga tapered shank portion and formed.
in a particular manner of certain specified materials, it is not intended ordesired to thus unnecessarily limit the scope or utility of the. improvements by reason of such restricted embodiments; anditis'also contemplated that certain specific terminology used herein shall be given the -j broadest .possible interpretation: consistent with the disclosure. I Referring to FIGS. 1 to 11. of the drawings, theimproved rotary-percussion rock drill bit. shown therein as; embodying the invention comprisesin general, a unitary body 15 having a shank portion 16 terminating atone end: in a hemispheroidal .head 17 provided with at'l'east one groove 18" traversing the head'frorn-the .bit apex to:
the region of the greatest circumference of the head,"a'nd at least one cutting element or insert 19 secured within "the groove 18 in a suitable-manner, as by soldering,fbrazing or welding, so that the cutting elements each'fhave an impact portion 23 extending from their respective. grooves.
The shanlc16. isz formed with a tapered socket'21 forte- 'ception by the drill wa er, a drilling machine; but other means forattach'ment of thebit .to the drill rod may be utilized.
"The-drill bitbody 15 rnay be forged in a customary 1 manner, and the curved cutting elements which, areall .identical mayfbe fabricated of a material having great impact'strength such as tungsten carbide having arela I tivelylar'ge. cobalt content. As shown, the cutting elements. 19 are: curved in: the plane .which includ'es the axis,

inclusive which reflect the shape of. the bit head along various transverse areas thereof. V a
While the improvements have been shown and 'described with specific reference to a two-bladed bit, they 7 may be utilized with similar advantages in bits which have more than two cutting blades or wings, and FIG. 12 illustrates a three-bladed bit of the: present improved design.
Again, in the three-bladed construction, the head 37 of the bit is provided with equally spaced grooves 38. traversing the head from the apex thereof to the region of its greatest circumference in planes lyingparall'el with.
the bit axis; and a cutting element 39 formed of a material possessing high impact strength :is'suitably secured,
'as'by'brazing, soldering or fwelding, within each of the. grooves 38';- Each of the: cutting elements 39 has. a wear surface or cutting edge 43 extending outwardly from the of the bit and thejlongitudinal planes within which the cutting edges lie' throughoutthe lengthv thereofi'are all parallel to the axis of the bit. The groove 18 for receivingf the cutting elements 19 may conveniently beid'esigned so that the cutting elements maybe of segmental shape approximating a quadrantof acircle as shown in FIG. 5', and the arciiately curved cutting'edges 23'ofeach ofthe cutting elements 19 should preferably be formedwith a negative rake angle 24% of. between twenty and thirty degrees andjwitll a reliefangle 25 of! approximately thirty.

Also, the bit must not have any abrupt changes in cross section. in the immediateflyicinity of the cutting edges I since such abrupt changes inthe configuration tend to lead drillinglife ofthe bit.
Tbe bit body isalso provided with flushing holes equal in number to the number of cutting elements 1 9 hemispheroidal head, and each :of these wear surfaces, is
curved inthe plane whichl includes the axis Of the bitso as to follow the contour ofthehead. Also, the three,-
bladed head shown in FIG. -12 is provided with a plurality of flushing holes 47 formed. in a manner-similar'to that; 7 described with respect to the two-bladed head, and each ofth'ese holes 47 is placed adjacent to the. rake angle. side.

extending from' each of the flushing holes 47 to the apex of the head atthe rake angle side ofthe adjacent cutting element. 7
"The improved drill; bits have been subjected to extensive tests, and the results ofthese tests have beenyex- 'tremcly satisfactory and have indicated that extremely efiicient drilling-is accomplished with the life of the bits being prolonged toa considerable extent. The bits were In addition, each of. the .flushing holes 27" should be placed as close as possible to the rake angle found to start their holes with ease and with very little tendency to walk away or slip from their initial starting positions. Furthermore, the bits have been shown to run remarkably cool and drill at an excellent rate of penetration. No flushing difiiculties have been encoun tered with these bits even when drilling at a rapid rate, and rock removal is accomplished easily without evidence of choking.
While the bits illustrated herein have the wings thereof formed as a pair of special carbide steel inserts possessing high impact strength and secured as by soldering or brazing within grooves formed in the hemispheroidal head, these wings 19, 39 may be formed integral with the head which may then be specially treated to increase the impact strength thereof. Also, in bits having only one pair of wings as in FIGS. 1 to ll inclusive, the wings may either be formed of two separate end abutting segmental inserts, as shown, or a single semi-circular insert may be used, and in either case, the continuous nature of the oppositely directed end-abutting or one-piece wings imparts strength and rigidity to the bit since the shocks are more equally disbursed across the wings in operation and torque is more effectively absorbed. In addition, by tapering the wings at their abutting portions or at the bit apex as at 32-, the life of the inserts or cutting elements may be prolonged since the effectiveness of the turbulent vortex formed by the flushing ports 27 and recesses 31 which terminate at the apex is enhanced. It should also be understood that additional flushing holes may be provided if found desirable, and the bits shown and described may be used etfectively either with a drilling system wherein cuttings are removed from the hole by means of vacuum drawn through the bit and drill steel or by pressure projected through the steel and the bit.
