Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drilling device which comprises a pilot bit drilling a middle portion of a hole, to said bit detachable fastened ring bit said bit drilling outer circle of the hole, as well as an arrangement for pulling a casing tube into said hole during drilling, wherein in the drilling situation both the pilot bit and the ring bit are fitted to be rotated and the casing tube fitted to be unrotatable, and for removing drilling waste from drilled surface locating at front side of said bits, the drilling device comprises a flushing system, by means of which flushing medium is lead via the pilot bit to the drilling surface and returned therefrom into a flow space locating inside the casing tube.
  • Document WO 02/081856 A1 discloses a method for drilling and a drilling apparatus.
  • Document DE 299 12 404 U1 discloses a drilling device.
  • Document WO 00/11304 A1 discloses a reverse circulation drilling system with bit locked underreamer arms.
  • Document FR 2 889 556 A1 discloses a well drilling device for measuring parameter e.g. pressure at ground level, has fluid injecting unit constituted of pipe mounted in cooperation with drilling tool so that pressurized fluid output openings are situated at level of tool.
  • Document WO 95/34740 A1 discloses a drilling apparatus.
  • Document WO 98/20229 A1 discloses a Method and apparatus for attaching a casing to a drill bit in overburden drilling equipment.
  • Characteristics for the drilling device according to the invention is that the flushing medium flow has been by means of a channel system turned inside the pilot bit to a flow which is flowing in side direction, arranged to run a portion a inside the pilot bit in the said side direction before the flow will run in the groove on the surface of the pilot bit, which groove is open towards the drilled surface.
  • Characteristics for the pilot bit belonging to the drilling device according to the invention is that the pilot bit is designed to function by means of rotation motion and edges locating in the drilling surface and directed towards the rotation direction as a cutting edge which cuts the drilled surface during earth boring, wherein said edges are arranged to meet the drilled surface essentially first.
  • pressurized flushing flow does not hit the drilled surface but flows in horizontal direction towards the inner surface of the ring bit, wherein its effect upon the drilled surface is essentially weakened.
  • Drilling waste can, however, in same way as in known solutions flow with the flushing medium and together go away inside the casing tube.
  • soil drilling grooves have been formed in the pilot bit and cutting edges in their back portions seen in the rotation direction of the bit, wherein soil loosened by said edges moves into said groove and further therefrom into the flushing channels. Soil is not uncontrolled loosened from the area outside the hole.
  • FIG 1 there is as bits for the drilling device a pilot bit 1 which drills center part of a hole middle and a ring bit 2 which drills the outer circle of the hole and is detachable, like via bayonet coupling fastened to the pilot bit.
  • Casing tube 4 is pulled into the hole during drilling by means of the pilot bit 1, which bit is hammering to a ring-like casing shoe 3.
  • the casing shoe 3 has been welded to the casing tube 4 and therefore the casing shoe finally pulls the casing tube 4 into the hole.
  • Flushing medium like pressurized air, is lead via center hole 8 in the pilot bit 1 towards the top of the pilot bit 1, but this channel ends a little before the front surface of the pilot bit 1.
  • This solution has, however, very small hole 9 drilled through.
  • the hole 9 is not necessary for the invention at all and can be left undrilled.
  • the hole has for example thread, wherein a lift hook can be fastened to said hole, when the bit is handled.
  • Nearly whole flushing flow is turned in the pilot bit 1 according to the invention to horizontal direction and continues in a round channel 6 in side direction.
  • the channel 6 is opened after a distance being open of its upper portion, wherein drilling waste can move from the drilled surface and to join to flushing medium.
  • the flushing medium jet is not in any stage directed towards the drilled surface towards the drilled soil.
  • 6 in the pilot bit 1 is a hole 6 from its first portion as long as the flushing medium jet will get motion in horizontal direction.
  • the distance is for example about 2 - 3 times the diameter of the hole 6. If it is drilled soft soil, at least the flushing medium jet does not loosen too much soil with it, because the jet hits mainly to the inner surface of the ring bit 2, from where the jet continues via the channel 7 back inside the casing tube 4.
  • Figure 2 shows a drilling device seen from front and section view of the flushing groove 5, 6 from line A - A.
  • the flushing groove which comes via center hole 8 in the pilot bit 1 is divided in this drilling device into five horizontal directed holes 6 and grooves 5, 6 which are following said holes.
  • the hole 6 is forming the bottom part of the groove along the whole portion in the pilot bit 1, but the hole changes to a groove which is open upwards due to another groove 5 which has been machined above it.
  • the groove 5 has been made widening when it continues towards the outer edge of the pilot bit 1. This helps access of the flushing medium into the groove 5, 6 because there is also more produced waste in front of the pilot bit 1 when going towards its outer edge.
  • a pilot bit 1 whose drilling surface comprises only two grooves 5 and two into horizontal direction turned flushing groove 6.
  • the grooves 5 are wide and especially in soil drilling they receive soil which has loosened from the drilled surface. Soil can be loosened from the drilled surface when cutting edges 11 have been formed in the pilot bit 1 in the rear edge of the grooves 5.
  • the edges 11 are cutting the drilled surface when the pilot bit 1 rotates though they locates in the same level with the drilling surface in the pilot bit 1, because there is also advance motion for the bits 1, 2 towards the drilled surface.
  • the cutting edges 11 can be in the drilling surface a little lifted up, as section A - A shows, when the drilling surface has been made slanted surface in angle ⁇ so, that edge 11 cuts the drilled surface also with a little advance motion.
  • Angle ⁇ is advantageous little for example 5 - 15 °.
