Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drill string coupling for connecting individual elongate drill string members and in particular, although not exclusively, to a strengthened female coupling.
  • Percussion drilling is used to create a long borehole via a plurality of elongate drill string rods coupled together end-to-end by interconnected male and female threads.
  • the well-established technique breaks rock by hammering impacts transferred from the rock drill bit, mounted at one end of the drill string, to the rock at the bottom of the borehole.
  • the energy required to break the rock is generated by a hydraulically driven piston that contacts the end of the drill string (via a shank adaptor) to create a stress (or shock) wave that propagates through the drill string and ultimately to the base rock level.
  • Conventional male and female threaded couplings are described in US 4,332,502 ; US 4,398,756 ; US 4,687,368 and DE 2800887 .
  • the joint When the male and female threaded ends of neighbouring drill rods are coupled to create the drill string, the joint is typically subjected to bending forces during drilling from the stress waves that propagate the drill string. These bending moments fatigue the coupling and lead to breakage within the threaded portion of the joint.
  • the drill coupling will fail by the coupling either eventually becoming worn out, which is predictable, or fail prematurely due to high stress waves which is unpredictable and causes increased down time for the user.
  • a drill string for percussive drilling comprising; a first elongate percussive drill rod having and a main section and an externally threaded male end; a second elongate percussive drill rod having a main section and a female end comprising an internally threaded mounting sleeve; wherein the male and female ends have respective threads for percussive drilling to enable the male end to be secured inside the female end such that an axial length from an axially rearward end on the female end to an end most female thread on the female end overlaps axially with the male end to form a coupling region; wherein a thread clearance area is formed adjacent to the end most female thread in the region between the end most female thread and an axial inner wall of the female end; characterized in that: the mounting sleeve has a first region having a first outer skirt diameter,D 1 , at the axially rearward end and a second outer skirt diameter, D 2 , along part of the axial length
  • the length, L 2 , of the strengthened region extends at least along the length of the inner most female thread.
  • the thread exit is a weak part of the joint and is where the high stresses build up. Therefore, it is advantageous to reinforce the coupling in this region.
  • length, L 2 of the strengthened region extends at least along the length of the thread clearance area.
  • the thread exit is a weak part of the joint and is where the high stresses build up. Therefore, it is advantageous to reinforce the coupling in this region.
  • the length, L 2 of the strengthened region extends at least along the length of two thread turns from the inner most female thread.
  • this will add further support to reinforce the coupling.
  • the first region of the mounting sleeve having the first outer skirt diameter, D 1 extends across at least the length of the least a first female thread.
  • the strengthened region ends before the position of the first female thread, preferably before the second female thread so that the flushing of the drill hole is not limited too much.
  • the length, L 2 of the strengthened region is between 0.2 and 0.8 times the length of the axial length, L 1 of the coupling region. If the length of the strengthened region is less than 0.2 times the length of the coupling region the benefit of the strengthening will not be gained. If the length of the strengthened region is greater than 0.8 times the length of the coupling region the efficiency in clearing the drilled hole of rock cuttings would be reduced.
  • the length of the strengthen region is selected to suit different sizes of drills rods and different types of coupling.
  • the strengthened region extends to a transition section that extends between the mounting sleeve and the main length section.
  • the end position of the strengthened region should be optimised depending on the drilling assembly, it may be advantageous that the strengthened region extends as far as the transition section for some designs to provide reinforcement to this region.
  • the female end has a thread pitch length, L 3 , preferably the length, L 2 of the strengthened region is at least the length of one thread pitch length, L 3 .
  • the strengthened section will be sufficiently long to provide a substantial reinforcement.
  • the outer skirt diameter, D 2 of the strengthened region is between 1-10% greater than the outer skirt diameter, D 1 at the axially rearward end of the female end.
  • the thickness of the strengthened region will depend on the size of the hole being drilled. If the outer skirt diameter of the strengthened region is at least 1% greater than the outer skirt diameter of the female end at the end most surface so that the coupling region is sufficiently increased, but no more than 10% greater so that the efficiency of the flushing in the drill hole is not compromised too much.
  • the outer skirt diameter, D 2 , of the strengthened region is between 0.1 to 10 mm greater than the outer skirt diameter, D 1 , at the axially rearward end of the female end.
  • the presence of larger cross section in the strengthened region provides reinforcement at the critical location to reduce the level of stress in the most fragile part of the coupling region.
  • the increased outer skirt diameter of the strengthened region will increase the fatigue resistance of the drill string rod components. If D 2 is less than 0.1 mm greater than D 1 , then the benefit of the level of stress in the coupling region will not be significantly reduced. Generally, increasing the difference between D 2 and D 1 will increase the fatigue resistance. If D 2 is more than 10 mm greater than D 1 there will be a detrimental effect of the efficiency of the debris removal in the drilled hole.
  • the steel body of the drill string rods wears down due to the sliding contact with the rock and from the cuttings being flushed out of the hole.
  • the reinforcement in the strengthened region will eventually get worn down to the normal outer skirt diameter and so then the passageway for the cutting will revert to normal.
  • the addition of the strengthened region will advantageously increase the lifetime of the drill string rods and reduce the likelihood of premature failure.
  • the most preferred outer skirt diameter, D 1 will depend on the size of the hole being used, the size of the drill rods and the type of coupling.
  • the mounting sleeve has a first wall thickness, T 1 , at the axial rearward end and a second wall thickness, T 2 , in the strengthened region, wherein T 2 > T 1 .
  • T 1 first wall thickness
  • T 2 second wall thickness
  • the inner dimensions inside the cavity of the female end are kept unchanged.
  • the increase in outer skirt diameter in the strengthened region is created by increasing the wall thickness of the female end in this region. This is advantageous as then there is no reduction to the strength of the male end of the coupling, which could also lead to premature failure.
  • the strengthened region is centred around an intersection between the end most female thread and the thread clearance area.
  • this targets the strengthening to the weakest point of the coupling.
  • the male end and the female end are helically threaded and comprise between two and seven complete helical turns.
  • this range of the complete helical turns provides the best balance between coupling strength and cost.
  • the main section of the drill string has an outside skirt diameter, D 3 , wherein the outer skirt diameter, D 1 , of the axially rearward end of the female end is greater than the outside skirt diameter, D 3 , of the main section.
  • This type of arrangement would be used for a guiding tube.
  • the main section of the drill rod has an outside skirt diameter, D 3 , wherein the outer skirt diameter, D 1 , of the axially rearward end most surface of the female end is the same as the outside skirt diameter, D 3 , of the main section.
  • This type of arrangement would be used for a drill tube.
  • FIG. 1 Another aspect of the present invention is a threaded coupling for connecting percussive drill rods to form a percussive drill string
  • the coupling comprising: a first elongate percussive drill rod having and a main section and an externally threaded male end; a second elongate percussive drill rod having a main section and a female end comprising an internally threaded mounting sleeve; wherein the male and female ends have respective threads for percussive drilling to enable the male end to be secured inside the female end such that an axial length, L 1 , from an axially rearward end on the female end to an end most female thread on the female end overlap axially with the male end to form a coupling region; wherein a thread clearance area is formed adjacent to the end most female thread in the region between the end most female thread and an axial inner wall of the female end; characterized in that: the mounting sleeve has a first region having a first outer skirt diameter,

  • the drill string 2 is attached to a drill bit at one end (not shown) and a shank adapter (not shown) at the other end which are also joined by means of corresponding screw threads.
