摘要:
An assembly including an electric motor, a load, and a retainer. The electric motor can include a shaft that defines a first cross-section that is non-circular and substantially normal to the shaft axis. The load can include a rotating member that defines a bore and first and second apertures in communication with the bore. The bore can be configured to receive at least a portion of the shaft. An opening of the bore can be fully enclosed by a continuous portion of the rotating member. A portion of the bore can define a second cross-section that is non-circular and that corresponds to at least a portion of the first cross-section. The retainer can extend through the first and second apertures and engage the shaft and thereby substantially prevent axial movement of the shaft relative to the rotating member during normal operation of the electric motor.

A rolling cone earth boring bit has a diverter and an arcuate segment located between the bit leg and the back face of the cone to divert debris from the seal gland area. The diverter has an oblong or oval base that inserts into a mating hole in a last machined surface of the bit. The diverter has a head that is wedge-shaped and protrudes from the hole into a clearance between the back face and the last machined surface. The head has an inner side that is spaced from an annular wall of the back face by a small uniform clearance. The head has an outer side that is oblique to the annular wall of the back face region to divert debris from the clearance. The segment is spaced from the diverter and is concentric to an axis of the bearing pin.

摘要:
A drill bit for use in drilling operations in a wellbore, the drill bit having a bit body including a plurality of bit legs, each supporting a rolling cone cutter; a coupling member formed at an upper portion of the bit body; at least one temperature sensor for monitoring at least one temperature condition of the improved drill bit during drilling operations; and at least one temperature sensor cavity formed in the bit body and adapted for receiving, carrying, and locating the at least one temperature sensor in a particular position relative to the bit body which is empirically determined to optimize temperature sensor discrimination.
摘要:
An improved drill bit is provided with a sensor for monitoring an operating condition during drilling. A fastener system is provided for securing an erodible ball in a fixed position relative to a flow pathway until a predetermined operating condition is detected by the sensor, and for releasing the erodible ball into the flow pathway to obstruct the flow through at least one bit nozzle.

A downhole tool comprises a mechanical joint, and a diamond-like coating over at least a portion of a surface of at least one component of the mechanical joint, the diamond-like coating having a thickness greater than 10 micrometers. Methods of manufacturing a mechanical joint of a downhole tool comprise disposing a diamond-like coating on at least a portion of a surface of a component of the mechanical joint of the downhole tool to a thickness of at least 10 microns and at a temperature less than about 200° C.

A turbine pump that permits an impeller to stay compliant with a raceway by the use of a preloaded floating raceway that operates by utilizing fluid floating on both side of the raceway within the pump. Exemplary embodiments of the pump include a mounting frame that is adapted to engage the pump to a drive source; an end frame that is adapted to attach to the mounting frame and includes an inlet section and an outlet section that facilitate fluid flow entering and exiting the pump; a motor shaft enclosed within the mounting frame; a floating raceway that is situated within the end frame and positioned around the distal end of the motor shaft, and includes an inlet passage, an outlet passage and a bypass hole fixed relative to the position of the inlet passage and the outlet passage; a spring located at the top of the floating raceway and at least partially contained within a corresponding cavity located in the end frame that is preloaded to help maintain a desired clearance between the floating raceway and the impeller; and an impeller secured to an distal end of the motor shaft.

An assembly controls the liquid level in a vessel in which a submersible pump is disposed. The assembly has a switch housing and a float housing, arranged proximate to each other. A switch in the switch housing selectively energizes a motor associated with the pump. When a float disposed in the float housing moves in response to a change in the liquid level of the vessel, the movement is coupled to the switch by a pair of magnets arranged in attractive relationship to each other. One of the magnets is in the switch housing and the other is in the float housing. The magnets interact by providing force fields that acts through a wall that separates the switch housing and the float housing. A lever on which the switch housing magnet is positioned tilts the magnets away from alignment as they approach each other, reducing the increase in attractive force therebetween.

Downhole tool bearings are provided with diamond enhanced materials. The diamond enhanced materials comprise diamond grains in a matrix of tungsten or silicon carbide or a silicon bonded diamond material. A brazed diamond grit or diamond particles coated with a reactive braze may be utilized for bearing applications. Bearing rings for use in downhole tools may be formed at least in part with the diamond enhanced material. In one embodiment, the bearing rings may be used in a positive displacement motor. In additional embodiments, the bearing rings may be used in a submersible pump.
