Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling device for drill pipe, in particular for earth drilling apparatus, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic coupling device is from the EP-A-1 624 151 out.
  • This known coupling device has a sleeve-shaped receptacle for a tubular drilling tool, wherein cylindrical locking bolts or hook-shaped locking claws are provided on the outer circumference of the receptacle. These can engage in corresponding holes on the tubular drilling tool for locking an inserted tubular drilling tool. To lock the drilling tool to the receptacle, it is necessary to bring the drilling tool in an exact rotational position.
  • a similar locking device is the DE 100 23 467 C1 refer to.
  • a link control and an actuating rod locking bolt can be used on a recording radially into corresponding holes on an inserted drilling tool are introduced, with an axial and rotationally fixed connection is created.
  • a comparable locking device is, even from the EP-A-1 580 398 A1 forth.
  • a flat guide member for a guided introduction is provided on the outer rod.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a coupling device for drill pipe, with which a fast and reliable connection can be created.
  • the coupling device for drill pipe has a receiving sleeve for receiving a connection region of a drill string, wherein a locking device is provided with a locking element which is adjustably mounted between a release position and a locking position, in which engages the locking element in a corresponding recess of the connection area.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is that the locking device comprises a housing which is arranged on an outer side of the receiving sleeve, and in that a sliding element for adjusting the locking element is mounted in the housing.
  • the sliding element can be operated manually or by an actuatable actuator, such as a motor or a control cylinder.
  • the sliding element is designed as a pivotally mounted pin with a cam, which engages in a slanted backdrop in the housing.
  • a rotational movement can be converted into an axial adjusting movement. This mechanism allows good force application even with manual operation.
  • a pivot lever is provided for pivoting the bolt, which is connected to a rear portion of the bolt with this.
  • the pivoting lever can be used both for manual operation and be designed for actuation by means of a remote-controlled actuator.
  • the blocking element is slidably and resiliently mounted on the sliding element in the radial direction.
  • significant wear and tear such as notches and deformations, can arise, which only permit rough fits.
  • the special displaceable and resilient mounting of the blocking element on the displacement element itself allows a certain compensation, so that even in these cases a good locking is ensured.
  • axial webs are arranged on an inner side of the receiving sleeve, which can be brought into engagement with corresponding axial grooves of the connection region for producing a rotary connection.
  • This is a keyway profiling.
  • the locking element only has to ensure an axial securing.
  • the recess in the connection region can in this case be a circumferential groove, in particular a rectangular groove, in which a corresponding rectangular profile of the locking element engages.
  • the three locking means are provided, which are arranged evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the receiving sleeve.
  • the coupling device according to the invention is used in a drill with a drill drive for driving a drill pipe.
  • the receiving sleeve is attached to the output shaft of the drill drive.
  • the output shaft usually protrudes downwards, so that the coupling device according to the invention is arranged below the drill drive.
  • the drill drive is mounted on a carriage, which is guided displaceably on a mast.
  • the coupling device according to the invention can be adjusted with the carriage along the mast, so that the coupling device when inserting a new drill string element quickly and reliably provides a connection between the upper connection region of the newly inserted drill pipe and the drill drive.
  • the coupling device 10 has a sleeve-shaped receiving sleeve 12, on whose inner side Axialstege 28 are arranged to form a Keilnutprofiles. On the outside, three locking devices 14 are arranged offset by 120 ° to each other.
  • Each locking device 14 comprises a sleeve-shaped housing 18, in which an approximately rectangular locking element 16 is slidably mounted.
  • the front side of the rectangular locking element 16 is concave in accordance with the connection area to be locked.
  • a cylindrical, bolt-shaped sliding element 20 is mounted axially adjustable and rotatable in the housing 18.
  • an obliquely running groove is introduced, which forms a link 24.
  • a cam 22 which is fixedly arranged on the bolt-shaped sliding element 20.
  • the sliding element can be pivoted in the present embodiment by 180 °. Due to the interaction between the cam 22 and the gate 24, the sliding element is displaced axially.
  • the locking element 16 from a retracted release position, which in Fig. 1 is shown, in a locking position according to Fig. 2 adjusted.
  • the locking element 16 is resiliently mounted on the sliding element 20.
  • the locking element 16 has a central bore 30 and the sliding element 20 has a central pin 32.
  • a coil spring 34th arranged between the bore 30 and the pin 32, which pushes the sliding member 20 and the locking element 16 apart.
  • a screw bolt 36 is arranged with a stop nut.
  • connection portion 62 which can be welded to the free end of a drill string.
  • the connection region 62 has axial grooves 66, which correspond to the axial webs 28 on the inside of the receiving sleeve 12 in order to form a splined connection.
  • annular groove is formed on the connection region 62 as a recess 64.
  • the width of the groove corresponds to the width of the locking elements 16, so that they can engage in the recess 64 to form an axial securing.
  • Fig. 5 the arrangement of the coupling device 10 according to the invention is shown on a drill 70.
  • the drill 70 has a mast 78 along which a carriage 76 is slidably guided and driven.
  • a drill drive 72 is mounted, which consists of a motor and a flanged gear.
  • the receiving sleeve 12 of the coupling device 10 is welded.
  • this has the connection region 62, which in connection with Fig. 4 has been described.
  • a rotationally fixed connection is achieved by the mutually corresponding Keilnutprofile, while an axial securing is achieved by the locking elements 16 of the coupling device 10.
