Abstract:
With the development of drilling technology, the number of drilling deep wells, ultra-deep wells are also increasing. From the depth of drilling in the strata, the cone bit has an irreplaceable advantage. Studies have shown that one of the major factors affecting the life of a cone bit is the seal life of the bearing system. In this paper, ABAQUS finite element software is used to analyze the single metal floating seal structure of typical cone bit bearing, and simulate the deformation of the floating end seal assembly process and the change of contact surface stress. This has reference value for the design of similar floating end seal structure.
