DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The drill bit, pulse turbine unit 19 and various parts described herein are illustrated in Figures 1 through 17. The body 1 of the drill bit has a threaded connection 2 on top to allow connection to a drill string. One or more wrench flats 3 are located on the outside surface perimeter of the drill bit body 1 to assist in holding the drill bit as it is connected to or unconnected from the drill string. A main inner fluid bore 16 proceeds through the pin connection 2 and into the body 1 where it connects to inner angle fluid bores 17, and out the bottom of the body 1 to provide normal fluid circulation out of the drill bit for rock cuttings removal, cooling of the drill bit and drill string and other normal fluid uses in drilling. On top of said drill bit is a pulse turbine unit 19 which is placed on top of the drill bit and inside a recess in a flared sub or pump to be connected above the pulse turbine unit 19 and drill bit. Said pulse turbine unit 19 allows two paths of delivery of fluid through the drill bit; one path provides for fluid delivery down the main inner bore 16 and the other path provides for fluid delivery through numerous outer angle fluid bores 13 located axially around the perimeter of the top of the drill bit. Said outer angle fluid bores 13 direct fluid to radial lateral fluid bores 12 which direct fluid to small fluid nozzles 9, some of which are paired and angled toward each other near the bit bottom to provide a concentrated collision of fluid near the rock
interface where an increased fluid velocity is achieved and thereby a greater fluid force to cut the rock or material being removed. A kerf line or etch of the rock or material is obtained. The pulse turbine unit 19 located at the top of the drill bit has opposing and alternating pulse turbine slots 21 which when rotated by the passage of fluid through the center turbine 20 provide for additional cutting force via alternating delivery of pulsed fluid to the small fluid nozzles 9. The other path of fluid is the main inner fluid bore 16 which delivers fluid to inner angle fluid bores 17 which expel fluid out the bottom of the drill bit for additional fluid volume for cuttings removal, cooling of downhole tools and drill string and other normal uses of fluid circulation in a well bore. The two fluid delivery paths; the outer angle fluid bore path, and the inner angle fluid bore path, can receive drill string fluid at one pressure or they can each receive a different fluid type or different fluid pressure provided the down hole assembly above the pulse turbine and drill bit has a high pressure downhole pump, drill pipe or other assembly capable of two flow paths to deliver two distinct fluid types or two distinct fluid levels of fluid pressure to the pulse turbine and drill bit. The preferred form of the drill bit has roller discs 7, 8 that are located such on the bottom of the drill bit to track or align with the kerf lines of the paired and non-paired nozzles so that when drill string weight and rotation is applied to the rock or material being removed, the roller discs 7, 8 are able to crack and break the rock at a weakened point between kerf lines below the top of the rock interface. This is a more efficient method of rock removal and provides an increased rate of hole advancement and a larger percentage of rock removal with each rotation of the drill string compared to less efficient methods of conventional drill bit rock removal by typical crushing or shearing of the rock. The preferred form of the drill bit shows roller discs 7, 8
however tungsten carbide inserts or discs, or polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) discs or other hardened material could be used. The preferred form of the drill bit has said rollers 7, 8 which are able to rotate or spin on bearings 6. Said bearings 6 are attached to the drill bit by weld or other common attachment method such as a bearing cover or plate and bolts. It is therefore to be understood that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present embodiment have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with the details of the structure and function of the embodiment, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made within the principles of the embodiment to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the claims are expressed and reasonable equivalents thereof and various forms of the present invention can be applied to numerous drilling and completion tools of well bores.
