Design of intelligent drill bit embedded structure based on multi-objective topology optimization method

Abstract

To address the issues of mechanical performance changes, stress concentration, and displacement in the original drill bit structure caused by the design of embedded structures in intelligent drill bits, the optimal topology of the drill bit was calculated using multi-objective topology optimization methods. Optimal values under various load conditions were obtained using single-objective topology optimization methods combined with penalty functions. Based on these optimal values, calculations for the intelligent drill bit embedded structure were performed using a trade-off planning method. Following this, the initially optimized results were redesigned using NURBS modeling methods to create an embedded structure that meets structural performance requirements. The embedded structure meeting these requirements was then tested through orthogonal simulation to verify its mechanical performance under various complex load conditions. The results show that the embedded structure drill bits designed based on multi-objective optimization generally surpass traditional drill bit structures and those optimized using multi-objective methods in terms of maximum Mises stress and maximum deformation, particularly in external and internal petal configurations, demonstrating good performance in enhancing structural strength.
