Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection of an anchor rod with the drill of a device for setting Doublebohrinjetechnischsankern.
  • the anchor rods which make up the anchor system, are connected to the drill head of a drill. This connection is made via a transition sleeve into which one end of the anchor rod is screwed and which is coupled to the insertion end of the drill, for example by screwing. At the foremost end of the first anchor rod a drill bit is screwed. As the depth of the well progresses, the anchor rod is extended by unscrewing connecting couplings and other anchor rods until the total anchor length is reached.
  • the first release of the anchor rod of the transition sleeve on the drill has been found in the prior art to be problematic.
  • the anchor rod in the transition sleeve which connects them to the drill jammed, resulting in work disorders, as required for the release of the screw between the anchor rod and transition sleeve much power and time is.
  • the reason for the frequent jamming is that the non-heat treated anchor rods have a lower hardness compared to boring bars, which are always used in tempered quality.
  • the also always tempered transition sleeve The drill, as it is designed for multiple use, much harder than the anchor rods.
  • anchor rods From US Pat. No. 4,332,502 A it is known for anchor rods to be connected to one another by connecting couplings to form thread-free sections at the ends thereof.
  • the anchor rods are connected to each other in US 4,332,502 A by coupling couplings, which have in the region in which the anchored to the coupling coupling anchor rods with their thread-free sections to each other, an inwardly projecting ring into which the unthreaded ends of the screwed into the transition sleeve Engage anchor rods.
  • the invention is based on the object, the end of anchor rods recorded in the transition sleeve on the drill in such a way that the described jamming does not occur.
  • Anchor rod In contrast to the known anchor rods, in which the ends are chamfered (slightly), at least one end of Anchor rod according to the invention provided with a diameter-tapered portion.
  • This section which is provided on the anchor rod at least at its in the transition sleeve of the drill received (screwed into this) end, may have a cylindrical outer surface and in turn have on the end face a chamfer.
  • the inventive design of at least one end of the anchor rods results in a trouble-free loosening (unscrewing) of anchor rods of the transition sleeve, because when drilling anchors under the action of loads occurring during drilling deformations of the recorded in the transition sleeve end of an anchor rod because of the free space between the inner surface of the transition sleeve and the smaller diameter portion of the end of the anchor rod can not lead to jamming of the anchor rods in the transition sleeve.
  • the screwing of the coupling couplings to the end of the last anchor rod protruding from the borehole is also problem-free because there is play between the tapered end of the anchor rod and the inner surface of the coupling coupling even if the end of the anchor rod has been deformed.
  • the advantage for the user of the connection between anchor rod and drill according to the invention is first that longer breaks in work are avoided because the anchor rod can be easily solved by the transition sleeve, so that trouble-free operation is guaranteed.
  • the solution of the object of the invention (avoid jamming between transition sleeve and anchor rod) is of considerable importance, since the removal of a disturbance at a higher altitude not one represents an insignificant security risk.
  • the hammer drill shown in Fig. 1 consists of a drill 1, which is advanced on a supported on mountains 2 leadership of the drill mount 3 according to the Bohrfort Colour.
  • the drive provided for this purpose is not shown.
  • An anchor rod 6 is screwed to the insertion end 4 of the drilling apparatus 1 via a transition sleeve 5, to which anchor rods are either connected directly via connecting couplings 7 or directly to an anchor rod or, depending on the progress of drilling, further anchor rods 6.
  • a rinsing liquid can be introduced into the anchor rods 6 and, after the bore has been completed, a (hydraulically) setting medium for fixing the anchor, which after hardening fixes the anchor, which consists of the corresponding number of anchor rods 6, in the borehole.
  • Fig. 2 shows an end of a known anchor rod 6, which has an external thread 9 by appropriate shaping of its wall.
  • the end of the known anchor rod is provided with a 45 ° chamfer 11.
  • the anchor rod 6 at least one end is formed as shown in Fig. 3, and has a portion 12 which has a relation to the outer diameter (Rd) of the anchor rod 6 reduced diameter Ra and no external thread 9 carries.
  • the free end of the portion 12 of the anchor rod 6 of reduced diameter Ra may also be provided with a 45 ° chamfer 11.
  • An analogous embodiment is possible for at least the screwed into the transition sleeve 5 end of the drill rod 8, but not mandatory, especially if the drill rod 8 made of hardened steel (as the transition sleeve 5).
  • the outer shape of the section 12 of reduced diameter is in itself arbitrary, but will often be formed cylindrical barrel-shaped.
  • the section 15 may also be tapered conically towards the free end, wherein the outer contour is inclined by not more than 20 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the anchor rod 6.
  • the clear cross section of the annular rib 20 is substantially the same size as the clear cross section of the anchor rods. 8
  • This clearance 23 allows a plastic deformation of the tapered portion 12 provided at the end of the anchor rod 6, without the anchor rod 6 (or the drill rod 8) jamming in the transition sleeve 5.
  • the anchor rod 6 rests with its end face 24 against the lateral annular surface 25 of the annular rib 20.
  • the insertion end 4 of the drill 1 is located with its end surface 26 on the other annular surface 27 of the annular rib 20 at.
  • An anchor rod 6 for rock bolt (Selbstbohrinjekomsanker) has an external thread 9 for connecting the anchor rod 6 with a drill 1 via a transition sleeve 5.
  • the screwed into the transition sleeve 5 end of the anchor rod 6 has a portion 12 with respect to the outer diameter of the anchor rod 6 of smaller diameter ,
  • the section 12 of the anchor rod 6 with a tapered diameter has a chamfer 11 at its free end.
