Definitions
- the invention relates to a melting head of an ice melting device, comprising a rear attachment region with respect to the propagation direction for attachment to a drilling device or a drill string and a front region which can be heated with respect to the propagation direction.
- a created connection from such a fusion head and the drilling device or a linkage can then preferably form an ice melting device.
- the propagation direction is understood to mean the direction in which the melting head or an ice melting device formed therewith is enclosed
- Propagation direction is preferably coincident with a center axis, in particular center longitudinal axis of the melting head and / or an ice melting device formed therewith.
- Melting heads of this type are generally known in the art and are used to perform drilling in ice, especially in that the ice surrounding the melting head is melted by the heated front portion of the melt head and the melting head together with the associated drilling device or the drill pipe in
- the prior art, as well as the invention further described herein, may provide for energizing heating elements within the fusion head provided by the drilling apparatus or the linkage.
- a drilling device forms a cylindrical housing, is fastened to the front end in the propagation direction of the melting head with its rear mounting portion.
- Melting head preferably has a maximum outer cross section, in particular diameter, which corresponds to the cross section, in particular diameter of the cylindrical drilling device.
- Power source if necessary, also carry a further electronics, in particular, for. also an unwindable cable supply to provide communication capability and / or power transfer via the cable between the drilling device and the over-surface surface.
- One possible application is e.g. the creation of holes in water ice, e.g. in glacial areas or even arctic areas of the earth.
- Ice surface of distant astronomical bodies e.g., planets, moons, comets, etc.
- the term "ice cream” is not limited to water ice.
- any other substance is understood that is in the solid state and can be converted by means of the heat of the Schmelzbohrkopfes in another state of matter, in particular in the liquid state or even gaseous state.
- Melting heads of melt drills have heating elements with which heat is generated, e.g. by
- Resistance heating which is transported by thermal conduction between the heating element and the material of the melting head on the outer surface, there to cause the melting process.
- heat transport is not only carried out from the typically several heating elements outwards to the surface of the area heated thereby
- the melt head can come to a heat accumulation inside, which can react on the entrained electronics or energy storage. Furthermore, the heat released to the interior is effectively not or only with reduced efficiency for the heating of the fusible head available and thus possibly goes beyond the rear portions of the melt head or the
- the front portion of the melting head has a radially outer surface area in which the front region in the propagation direction to the front axial
- Melting head end in the outer cross-section is tapered, in particular in the outer diameter is tapered, and the radially outer surface area surrounds an inner recess, in particular in the propagation direction open inner recess whose free
- Melting head end lies here, preferably also forms the plane of the opening of the inner recess.
- a normal vector lies on this (opening) plane parallel to the propagation direction.
- the heated front region has both a heated surface lying radially in the radial direction and a heated surface lying in the radial direction, namely that of the inner recess.
- the radial direction is understood to be perpendicular to the propagation direction or center longitudinal axis of the melting head.
- Radially inboard and outboard means, in conjunction with the so-called surfaces, that the inner surface has a smaller radial distance from the center axis than the outer surface.
- Both the inner and the outer surface of the front area are by the respective tapers in and counter to the axial direction
- the inner projection surface actually corresponds to the inner free one
- the outer projection surface forms one of the inner
- Projecting surface surrounding ring whose outer cross section, in particular outer diameter corresponds to the maximum outer cross section of the melting head and preferably the entire drilling device.
- the heat released by the heat transport from the Fleizelementen outwardly and inwardly amount of heat can thus be much better dissipated to the environment and that according to the invention in each case over the front of the Melting head which contributes to improved Bohrfortuze and prevents internal heat accumulation.
- the front axial melting head end forms a frame, in particular a ring, over which the radially outer surface area and the surface of the inner recess merge into one another.
- the propagating direction end face of this ring may be e.g.
- the front portion of the melt head forms an axially extending annular region, the ring width, ie the difference of outer to inner cross-section of the front axial end of the melting head opposite Propagation increases, especially up to the axial position of the bottom of the bottom of the inner
- Outer surface and the surface of the inner recess is arranged, so in fact in the material of the designated ring area of the front area. Flier notebook is particularly well ensured that the heat emitted by the heating elements heat can be dissipated both over the tapered outer surface region and the inner surface of the recess by a particularly short, in particular almost radial transport to the environment and contributes to the melting.
- the melting head may comprise a plurality of heating elements, in particular those in each case in the rear, in particular opposite
- Propagation direction open recesses of the fusion head are used, wherein the heating elements and / or recesses each have a radial distance from the center axis of the melting head, at least in the radial distance of the frame or annular axially front end of the melting head
- the axial length of the tapered radially outer surface area and the axial depth of the inner recess are equal. This also contributes to the homogenization of the heat transfer.
- the surface sizes of the radially outer surface and the surface of the inner recess are equal. This ensures that at least substantially the same amount of heat can be removed by these respective surfaces per unit of time, in particular which in turn homogenizes the heat transfer to the inside and to the outside.
- the areas projected in the propagation direction of the outer surface area and the inner recess are the same size, in particular because then by the propagation on the inner and outer surface of an at least substantially equal application of force he follows.
- the invention may preferably provide that the outer surface area and the inner recess are n-fold around a central axis of the melting head that is in the propagation direction
- n-fold rotational symmetry is the outer or inner cross section of the melt head (considered perpendicular to the propagation) n-polygonal, or the respective outer and inner surfaces faceted and in rotationally symmetrical design of the respective cross section is thus circular.
- Melting head may provide that the outer surface region and the surface of the inner recess each have a cone portion or a
- Section of a paraboloid corresponds.
- the invention may further provide that the tapered front region corresponds to a rotation body, in particular a conical section or paraboloid section, which is rotationally symmetrical about the center axis, the tip region of which is folded over to form the recess to the interior of the fusion head on the plane in which the front axial fusion head end lies.
- a rotation body in particular a conical section or paraboloid section, which is rotationally symmetrical about the center axis, the tip region of which is folded over to form the recess to the interior of the fusion head on the plane in which the front axial fusion head end lies.
- the shape in particular the cross-sectional shape considered along the center axis of the outer surface area and the inner recess apart from the sign and an axial displacement, in particular an axial displacement of double axial length of the front region, the same mathematical function as a function of the radial distance from the
- Figures 1A to 1 D show different geometries of the outer surface 1 a and inner surface 1 b of a melting head 1 according to the invention in cross-section, i. cut in a plane in which the center axis 2 of the melting head 1 is located.
- the propagation direction 3 is visualized for all figures 1 with reference to the arrow to the left of the figures 1.
- the front region 1 c of the melt head 1 comprises the radially outer surface area 1 a.
- This surface area is designed to be tapered in cross-section perpendicular to the center axis 2 in the direction of the propagation. At the present here Rotational symmetry thus decreases the outer diameter of the outer
- the beginning of the taper on the collar 1 e preferably defines the axial beginning of the front region and the melting head end 1 d the end of the front region.
- FIGS. 1A to 1D visualize the areas of the radially outer surface area and the inner area 1b of the respective recess 5 projected in the propagation direction or direction of the center axis 2.
- the embodiments represent the possibilities of making the sizes of the surfaces 1 a and 1 b or the sizes of the projections p1 a and p1 b the same or different sizes, in particular with the special advantages, as they are called in the general description part.
- FIG. 1A here represents an embodiment in which the inner surface 1 b and the outer surface 1 a in the cross section shown here are each described by a parabola.
- the two parabolas differ only in sign and an offset along the center axis 2 and are otherwise the same
- FIGS. 2 show different embodiments of the melting head 1 according to FIG. 1A, that is to say with a respective paraboloid shape of the inner and outer surfaces 1 b and 1 a.

- Flier are at least the heat-emitting tips of the Fleiz implant 6 ' , preferably centered, in the annular region 7 of the front portion of the melting head, so that their heat dissipation can be done both outwards and inwards on a short path.
- Attachment 4 a drilling device 8 with a cylindrical housing connects to the rear, which, for example, here only symbolically represented energy sources (9) for the Fleizimplantation (6 ' ) or other electronics (9) or cable (10) can accommodate.
- the melting head (1) thus forms an ice melting device together with this drilling device (8).
- FIG. 4 illustrates that, in a preferred embodiment, both the outer surface 1 a and the inner surface 1 b of the recess 5 are described by the same parabolic formula P and only differ by an inversion I and an offset O along the center axis 2.
