Abstract

Wellbore trajectory control tool is a sort of point-the-bit drilling tool to achieve the steering function while drilling. In complex conditions, the spindle bears the acting force of the bit pressure, the torque, the force of biasing mechanism and so on. So the force is very complex. Basing on the early research of our group, the further research of spindle deflecting reliability of prototype has been carried out. Based on the contact analysis between the tool spindle and the inner eccentric ring, the variation law of contact stress between the inner ring of the eccentric mechanism and the spindle is studied. Based on Palmgren-Miner and the fatigue life experiment of the spindle material, the cumulative damage calculation model of the spindle is established, and the fatigue life of spindle is solved. The result shows that the deflecting reliability of the spindle can be guaranteed.
