Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Bohrvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 11 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved by a drilling device with the features of claim 1 and a method having the features of claim 11.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es des Weiteren bevorzugt, dass ein Bohroberteil vorgesehen ist, welches in dem Stützrohr verspannbar ist, und dass ein bezüglich des Bohroberteils ein verfahrbares Bohrunterteil vorgesehen ist, welches die Schneideinrichtung und den Aufnahmebehälter umfasst. Zum Erstellen einer Bohrung innerhalb des Stützrohres wird das Bohroberteil in dem Stützrohr eingeklemmt und das Bohrunterteil samt Schneideinrichtung und Aufnahmebehälter nach unten gepresst. Der Aufnahmebehälter mit den Rühreinrichtungen befindet sich damit stets in einem definierten Abstand zur Schneideinrichtung. Nach einem bestimmten Bohrfortschritt wird die Verspannung des Bohroberteils gelöst und das Bohroberteil dem Bohrunterteil nachgefahren.

Das Gemisch aus Bohrgut und Flüssigkeit wird mittels einer Saugpumpe aus dem Rührbereich abgesaugt. Hierdurch erfolgt ein kontinuierlicher Abtrag des Bodenmaterials zusammen mit der in das Bohrloch eingebrachten Spülflüssigkeit, wodurch ein kontinuierlicher Bodenaushub über große Bohrtiefen möglich ist.With the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention, soil can be excavated in a particularly efficient manner in a support tube anchored in the ground.
