Structure design of lunar subsurface sampling drill

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The sub-structures of drill bit are defined based on the function, and the optimization of the chip removing structure is taken as the key of shape-configuring design of the drill bit. A new drill shape-configuring design with spherical base and spiral blade is proposed. Experimental results show that the pay load of drill bit with the new chip removing structure is only 30%~40% of the other typical drill bit forms. The gravels removing mechanism is studied using Discrete Element Method (DEM), and the results show that the new drill bit structure is more adaptable.
