  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is the fact that the energy for introducing the jacket or cladding tube, which causes, for example, frictional resistance by a partial contact with the borehole wall, must be introduced via the drill bit.
  • a method and a device of the type mentioned are from the WO 03/004824 become known, being aimed at a simple removal of a clearing element without an actuation of the pilot drill bit.
  • embodiments are known in which a correspondingly solid casing tube is provided, which cooperates with the drill bit in particular on its outer circumference, wherein in such embodiments is dispensed with a substantially central drill pipe for the introduction of impact energy.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is in particular the fact that a very massive and therefore heavy casing pipe must be used to introduce the required energy degradation, which is usually provided for drilling over short distances, such as wells.
  • the present invention aims, starting from a method and a device of the type mentioned above, to enable a reliable and favorable introduction of the degradation or impact energy into the drill bit as well as into the casing or cladding tube.
  • a method of the type mentioned is essentially characterized in that the impact energy is transmitted from the drill string to the beater with the interposition of a beating ring and that the drill bit and possibly the impact ring is coupled to the drill string via a plug connection. Since the energy or impact energy-in particular centrally transmitted through the drill string on the drill bit and partially via a cooperating with the drill string beater on the jacket or cladding tube, a decoupling succeeds in introducing the drill bit of the during the drilling process additionally introduced coat - or cladding tube.

It can thus bring the mined material directly through the at least one provided in the drill bit excavation opening in the annular space between the drill string and the adjoining the drill bit sheath or casing, so that a reliable and safe removal of the mined material from the field Removal surface of the drill bit can be made.
  • the impact ring is formed with a corresponding to at least one passage opening of the excavation surface of the drill bit passage for the removal of material and is coupled to the drill string to a rotary motion with the drill bit.
  • Cladding tube with a hardening mass takes place.
  • polygonal, mutually complementary surfaces of the connector between the drill bit and the impact ring are provided with the drill string.
  • Such polygonal, mutually complementary surfaces of a plug connection allow a secure coupling with the and reliable force input to the drill bit, while such a connector easily by a simple retraction allows removal of the drill string from the drill bit.
  • the impact ring remains in the borehole when removing the drill string, so that no obstruction in removing the drill string through the one opposite the drill string enlarged diameter having impact ring by possibly in the annulus between the Outside circumference of the drill string and the inner diameter of the jacket or cladding tube remaining material must be feared.
  • a device of the type mentioned above is substantially characterized in that the drill pipe is coupled with the interposition of a shock ring with the impact shoe for the transmission of impact energy to the mantle or cladding tube.
  • a uniform introduction of the impact energy or energy to be transferred to the drill bit is achieved, as a result of which the drilling progress or drilling process is accelerated or assisted.
  • the decoupling of the drill bit from the jacket or cladding tube furthermore makes it possible to design the drill bit in a correspondingly simplified manner since the forces required for an insertion of the jacket or cladding tube do not have to be transmitted to the jacket or cladding tube via the drill bit. but the jacket or cladding tube on the impact shoe, which cooperates with the drill pipe or is acted upon by this, is introduced into the interior of the borehole.
  • the drill pipe with the interposition of a shock ring with the beater for the transmission of impact energy is coupled to the jacket or cladding tube.
  • the drill bit and the impact ring are coupled via connectors to the drill string.
  • the impact ring is formed separately from the impact shoe and the drill pipe.
  • individual parts of the device according to the invention can be produced separately from each other and thus simpler and further ensures that when removing the drill string after completion of the bore, as will be discussed in detail below, the beater next to the drill bit and the shell or cladding tube can remain in the borehole, so that a simple Pulling or removing the drill string is possible without having to fear that by removing a larger external dimension for coupling with the impact shoe having impact ring when removing the drill string from the well by optionally remaining in the hole mined material disability occurs during removal of the drill string.
  • the impact shoe with the casing tube and / or cladding tube is welded.
  • a coupling or welding of the jacket or jacket tube with the impact shoe ensures that for the introduction into the borehole, in particular under tensile stress, to be introduced to the jacket or cladding impact energy not, as in known embodiments, first in the Drill bit is introduced, followed by the shell or Hüllroh is pulled into the wellbore over the drill bit, but that a decoupling of the advancing movement of the drill bit and the entrainment movement of the jacket or sheath tube of the drill bit is done.
  • the drill bit at least one passage opening for the introduction of material into a between the outer periphery of the drill string and the inner circumference of the casing tube and the adjoining her Cladding tube defined annulus has.
  • the impact ring In order to allow a proper transport of the mined material through the area of the impact ring, which is a coupling between the centrally or centrally arranged drill pipe and the outer perimeter impact shoe, is provided according to a further preferred embodiment that the impact ring at least one with the or ., Has the passage opening (s) of the excavation surface of the drill bit aligned passage opening.
