  • Each Rod is guided in the area of two bushings at two positions along its length.
  • Axial channels are provided in the area of the guides of the impact rod Passage of a flushing medium is provided, which make it possible to rear end of the drill pipe from through the space between Outer tube and blow rod or through the axially extending channels a flushing medium to the drill head between the outer tube and the blow rod transport.
  • the opposing end faces of the individual rods of the Blow rods extend in the radial direction, so that a maximum effective surface for transmitting the axially acting impact forces is created.
  • the device described in EP 0 387 218 B1 has some remarkable ones Advantages that essentially result from the fact that the inner percussion linkage consists of various individual rods, which without screwing against each other.
  • the single, short rod has a lot higher natural frequency than a long screwed beater bar. So results the impact force transmission over several short, unscrewed opposing bars a much harder and undamped Clout transmission. Added to this is easier handling during of drilling.
  • the outer tube section or an inner rod is the rotary and impact drive separated from the drill pipe and it becomes a new inner rod as well as a new outer tube inserted into the drill pipe.
  • time savings due to the fact that the inner to be inserted Rod does not have to be screwed.
  • the object of the present invention is a drilling system with percussion rods to create, which allows a greater variation of the drilling direction.
  • the outer tube is formed deformable along its longitudinal axis and against each other adjacent end faces of two rods are designed such that they an inclination of the axes of the two rods to each other essentially lie flat against each other.
  • Drilling systems with elastically bendable outer tubes - so-called directional drilling systems - are known from the prior art, for example from DE 196 12 902 A1.
  • a drill pipe with a drill head that creates a curved hole pattern for directional drilling is used.

  • the drill heads can be very different be trained.
  • the drill pipe is usually on a rail-guided, mounted and has a slide connected to a linear drive a rotary or rotary impact drive with which the linkage rotates move and if necessary can also drive into the ground.

This resulted in addition to that previously described Problem that the long outer linkage has a low natural frequency and has a high mass, an additional one Problem that the wall friction of the outer linkage, which in the curved borehole in the ground is a significant Share of impact energy is reduced. In addition to the mass of the Outer tube the mass of the flushing medium contained in the outer tube be accelerated by the percussion drive. Finally, a blow creates not only axial acceleration on the rear end of a bent tube, but also a bending force. In practice it has been shown that the impact on the rear end of the drill pipe hardly in Area of the drill head arrives.
  • the inner linkage which for example from FIGS. 6 and 7 of the DE 196 12 902 A1 is recognizable, could not be used to transmit the impact force be used.

Alternatively, it has been suggested with a sufficiently flexible inner linkage on the cardan joints to renounce. With great flexibility, however, it is not sufficient large power transmission is possible.

  • the flushing medium itself is not accelerated by the blows and cannot absorb impact energy.
  • the blows are from short, straight rod sections of the inner rod transferred, whereby no bending forces can arise because the individual rods of the inner rod are not curved.
