Identification of resistance torque on the roller cone bit in the drill rod rotation drive

Abstract

There is a problem of increasing the durability of the roller cone bit of the drilling rigs used in the quarries of Ukraine. One of the effective ways to solve it is to apply the control method of maintaining a constant flow of mechanical power in the bottom hole zone. The implementation of such a control method leads to the necessity of controlling and limiting the resistance torque on the roller cone bit. To solve the problem of determining the resistance torque, we used methods of parameter identification: the Luenberger observation device with adaptation to external influences; estimation of the resistance torque using an extended observation object; the theory of regulators adapting to perturbations. It has been established that the most rational method of identifying the resistance torque on a roller cone bit is an astatic monitoring device, which allows to implement a method of controlling the rotation of the drill rod by a drive mechanism that maintains a constant flow of mechanical energy through the roller cone bit and increases the durability of the roller cone bit.
