Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to the field of continuous flight auger drilling by means of a helical tool. More particularly, the invention refers to a device for cleaning the helical drilling tool of debris.
  • FR-A-2 624 197 discloses an auger cleaning device in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • the most complete type consists of a slide slidably mounted on the drilling mast and secured to a guiding ring that surrounds a length of the helical tool in order to keep it at the right distance from the drilling mast.
  • the active part of the auger cleaning device is comprised of a rotating portion mounted to said ring. Such rotating portion comprises a scraping blade inserted between the scrolls of the helical tool and rotated by a motor through a toothed gearing assembly.
  • the auger cleaning device rotates the scraping blade down the scrolls forcing the debris to fall, regardless of whether the helical tool is stationary or rotating. If the device is not activated, it tends to ascend the helical tool when this rotates in the drilling direction.
  • a first inconvenience with this kind of auger cleaning device is concerned with vertical movement along the helical tool.
  • the auger cleaning device must be stopped from running up the helical tool and interfering with the driving unit fitted at the top of the helical drilling tool. Also, the auger cleaning device must be prevented from descending too far, as it could get stuck in the ground. Therefore, the auger cleaning device motion has to be controlled by an operator or a special automatic control unit.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a device allowing the expensive driving means of conventional auger cleaning devices to be dispensed with and which is free of the above discussed inconveniences.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device capable of relieving the operator of the task of continuously having to pay attention to the position of the auger cleaning device, without incurring further expenses for a separate special control system.
  • a device for cleaning debris from a helically-shaped drilling tool comprising a slide capable of translating freely in a direction parallel to the axis of the tool, said slide being secured in said translating motion to a scraping member engaging the helical tool.
  • the scraping member is oriented substantially radially on the helical tool and rests upon on the scrolls of the helical tool through a roller means.
  • the device is characterised in that said scraping member is free to rotate about the axis of the tool and run along the scrolls of the helical tool, thereby causing the debris deposited on the helical tool during drilling to fall off.
  • numeral 1 schematically designates the position of a pair of vertical guides fixed to the drilling mast (not shown) which exploits a conventional helical drilling tool 4.
  • the device for removing debris is composed of a first, non-rotating portion vertically slidable along the guides and the helical tool, and a second rotatable portion mounted to the first portion but free to rotate about the central drilling axis x of the tool.
  • the non-rotating part of the auger cleaning device comprises a slide 2 slidably mounted on guides 1 and a cylindrical member 3 for guiding the helical drilling tool 4. Cylindrical member 3 is inserted on the helical tool and rigidly fixed to slide 2.
  • Cylindrical member 3 is fitted with a coaxial bearing the rotating race 5 of which is secured to a scraping member 6, preferably in form of a blade.
  • scraping member 6 provides a surface disposed substantially radially on helical tool 4 and adapted to make the debris 8 which has deposited on the scrolls of the tool during drilling move and fall off.
  • the outer portion 6a of scraping member 6 is secured to the rotating part of the bearing 5.
  • the base 6b of the blade member skims the surface of the helical tool.
  • the radially inner end portion of the blade base rests on the helical tool by means of a roller means 7.
  • the rotating portion of the auger cleaning device rotates freely following rotation of the helical tool through scraping member 6.
  • the debris clearing device is located up at top of the helical tool, just above the drilling surface. The drilling tool is then raised up, thereby tearing the ground comprised between it scrolls and creating a bore (not shown) in the ground.
  • the scraping member 6 is free to rotate along the scrolls of the helical tool in the direction of the lower end of the helix. In doing so, scraping member 6 causes the fall out of the debris which remained on the helical tool at the end of the drilling step.
  • the non-rotating portion of the auger cleaning device rests on the rotating portion, which in turn rests on the helical tool by means of roller 7.
  • Roller 7 rolls on the inclined plane of the helix. Downward motion of the auger cleaning device along the helix is facilitated because of roller 7 resting on the steepest, radially innermost part of the helix.
