SolidWorks Secondary Development System of DTH Bits

Abstract:

DTH (Down-the-hole) Bits are widely used in engineering construction and mining but the design level of DTH Bits needs improving. The kinds of DTH Bits are various in the practical application. Meanwhile, design efficiency is low and management in design information of historical product is insufficient. To solve the problems, key features of the DTH Bits used in different strata are analyzed and SolidWorks secondary development system of DTH Bits is developed with VB.NET. The secondary development system runs in the same process with SolidWorks in the form of a plug-in. ADO technique is used to connect the system and database which stores design information of historical product. It proves that the secondary development system can improve design and management efficiency of DTH Bits.
