  • other people are usually required on site in order to monitor and / or carry out the operations and the success or activities required for the drilling.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a system, a method and a use with which the effort for making the hole by means of the earth boring device can be reduced, in particular the effort in the form of providing a smaller number of operating and control units / or supervisors.
  • the core idea of the invention is to configure an input device, which is provided for entering at least one parameter for the operation of the earth drilling device, as a remote control.
  • the configuration of the input device as a remote control creates the possibility that the operator previously provided in the driver's cab can choose their location more freely with regard to the control of the earth boring device. The operator no longer necessarily has to stay in the driver's cab to control the auger. Due to the free possible placement of the operator, they can be present at other possible locations when controlling the earth drilling device and thus at the same time while controlling the earth drilling apparatus at a location where previously another operator had to be present to carry out an activity in connection with the insertion to carry out or monitor the earth drilling in the ground.
  • the additional operator can be omitted.
  • the previously required additional operator can be entrusted with other tasks, so that the personnel and / or the costs for providing the personnel for the introduction of an earth drilling device can be reduced.

  • a “parameter” in the sense of the description is understood to be an input with which a directional influencing of the operation of the earth drilling device is possible.
  • the parameter can be transmitted as an input signal to the control device, by means of which the control device controls the operation of the earth boring device.
  • a parameter can, for example, cause drilling to be started with the auger device or to stop a drilling carried out with the auger device. It is possible, for example, for an operator to enter the "Start" parameter and an input signal linked to the input to be transmitted to the control device, which causes drilling to be started. In an analogous manner, an operator can enter the parameter "stop” and a corresponding input signal connected to it can be transmitted to the control device, which causes a stop of a drilling carried out with the earth drilling device. Further parameters that influence or change the operation of the earth boring device are possible, these parameters being able to be entered by an operator and converted by the input device into an input signal and transmitted to the control device.
  • the term "input device" in the sense of the description includes any electrical or electronic device that is suitable for converting an input from an operator into an electrical signal that can be processed without further processing or with the interposition of processing of the signal, in particular processing in an or several circuits, for example in an amplifier, can be transmitted to the control device in order to serve as an input or as an input signal of the control device.

  • a “remote control” in the sense of the description comprises an electrical or electronic hand-held device which is suitable for controlling the operation of the earth drilling device by means of the input of a parameter at a distance from the earth drilling device.
  • “at a distance from the earth boring device” is to be understood in such a way that direct input by means of a device attached to the earth boring device is not necessary.
  • an operator outside the driver's cab of the auger device can control the operation of the auger device by entering a parameter for the operation of the auger device.
  • the inputting of the at least one parameter is (a) setting a torque and / or speed applied to a drill string of the earth drilling device, (b) setting a linear feed force and / or linear feed speed applied to a drill pipe, (c) setting an impact frequency of a percussion piston, (d) setting an impact amplitude of a percussion piston, (e) setting a flow rate and / or pressurization of a flushing liquid, (f) performing a linkage change, (g) performing a linkage lubrication and / or (h) changing a drill head type.

  • essentially any input can be made that may be relevant for the drilling operation of the earth drilling device.
  • the aforementioned parameters can be transmitted to the control device.

  • the parameter can thus be a signal that corresponds to the tensile or compressive force.
  • flushing liquid in particular in the form of bentonite, can be used.
  • the flushing fluid can be passed through the drill pipe and exit in the front area of the drill pipe.
  • a flow rate / pressure of the flushing liquid can be set as a parameter, which can be adapted to the conditions in the ground.
  • an input may be required that carries out a rod change, ie the connection of a further rod section, in particular from a rod magazine, with the drill rod that has already been drilled.
  • the parameter can thus be an actuation that corresponds to the command "Now rod change".
  • the drill pipe that has already been drilled in the ground can be clamped in order to fix the axial and / or angular position of the drill pipe that has already been drilled.
  • Entering the parameter can also include changing the drill head type, which may be necessary in particular if, after a pilot bore has been carried out, ie a first bore that was created, for example, by pushing in the ground, the drill head type is changed to an expansion drill head that is the previously created pilot hole is drawn to expand the same.
