Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for connecting a radially extending he locking openings having drill pipe to the drill drive egg nes drilling device.
- the invention also relates to a drilling arrangement for earth drilling, comprising a drill drive, at least one drill pipe with radially extending locking openings and a device for connecting the drill pipe to the Bohran drive.
- the device mentioned at the beginning and the aforementioned drilling arrangement are used in the creation of boreholes in civil engineering. Such Drehbohranla conditions are used in particular in the production of cased bores.
- the drilling tools are driven into the subsoil by means of drilling or pressure pipes. It is necessary to regularly remove the drill pipe from the borehole in order to remove the excavated material from the drilling tool and to be able to store it next to the borehole. Then the drilling tool is to be reinserted into the borehole and, according to the drilling depth already achieved, is to be extended further by means of drill pipes.
- drill pipes During the creation of such a borehole, it is necessary several times to connect the drill drive of a drilling device to the drilling and / or pressure pipes mentioned and to release it again. It often happens here that a drill pipe is held freely suspended from the drill drive. In this state, unintentional loosening can cause serious damage to people and material.
- Another object of the present invention is to propose a device of the type mentioned at the beginning which is as robust as possible against interference and at the same time reliably avoiding the risk of accidentally detaching the drilling or pressure pipe from the Bohran drive.
- Another object of the present invention is to propose a corresponding drilling arrangement for earth drilling.
- the device mentioned at the outset for connecting a drill pipe having radially extending locking openings to the Drill drive of a drilling device, comprising an inner tube designed to receive a free end of the drill pipe with its locking opening, an outer pipe which at least partially encompasses the inner pipe and is set up for connection to the drill drive, the inner pipe being set up at its end on the drill pipe connection side for reaching through and guiding locking elements radially he has extending passage recesses, the locking elements are arranged in the passage recesses so that they can slide radially, arranged on the outside of the outer tube, each having a control link for radial position adjustment of the locking elements between an open position and a locking position by rotating the inner tube relative to the outer tube forming, Füh approximately elements, and a connecting device which is set up to releasably connect the outer tube to the inner tube in a rotationally fixed manner by in each case on the inner wall surface of the outer tube and on the outer wall surface of the inner tube to at least partially encirc
- the device according to the invention is particularly robust against soiling and / or the action of mechanical forces from the outside. Due to the purely mechanical structure, the device according to the invention does not include any sensitive components, such as electrical or hydraulic servomotors, and also no electronic assemblies. In addition, the form-fitting elements are located between the outer tube and the inner tube, so they are appropriately protected against external mechanical influences. Another advantage is that, by means of the device according to the invention, the connection of a drill pipe to the drill drive can be carried out alone and by the machine operator.
- An expedient embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the form-fitting elements are a toothed ring pair with facing tooth profiles spaced from one another in the longitudinal axial direction and a double toothed ring with tooth profiles each facing the tooth profiles of the toothed ring pair.
- the use of the gear rim pair and the double gear rim as form-locking elements offers the advantage that a non-rotatable connection is always established between the outer tube and the inner tube when both pressure and tensile force are applied, so that in this state there is relative rotation between the outer tube and the inner tube is excluded due to the non-rotatable coupling.
- This also offers the advantage that the locking elements which are in a locked position always remain in their position and in this way ensure a secure coupling with the drill pipe.
- a preferred development of the invention is characterized in that the pair of toothed rings is arranged on the outer wall surface of the inner tube and the double toothed ring is arranged on the inner wall surface of the outer tube. Due to the mutual arrangement of the ring gear pair and double ring gear on the outer wall surface of the inner tube and on the inner wall surface of the outer tube, the prerequisites for a non-rotatable coupling of the outer and inner tubes are given, provided that both are in positive engagement.
- the double ring gear is arranged on the outer wall surface of the inner tube and the pair of ring gears is arranged on the inner wall surface of the outer tube.
- the aforementioned embodiment with regard to the arrangement of double gear rim and gear rim pair represents a is another advantageous embodiment of the invention. It is therefore optionally possible to arrange the ring gear pair on the outer wall surface of the inner tube or on the inner wall surface of the outer tube. In this case, the double gear rim is to be arranged on the other pipe.
- tooth flank angle of the tooth profile is less than 7 degrees.
- the choice of the mentioned tooth flank angle of less than 7 degrees offers the advantage that there is no feed between the respective tooth profiles in the longitudinal axial direction when the torque is transmitted between the inner and outer tubes.
- the jacket surface of the outer tube has recesses in the region of the guide elements.
- the recesses mentioned in the outer surface of the outer tube give the guide elements the appropriate space to be able to pivot correspondingly far relative to one another when the inner tube and outer tube are rotated.
- Another useful embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the locking elements are pretensioned by means of spring elements in such a way that they rest against the guide elements under spring pretension.
- the locking elements are automatically moved radially outward when the free-running position is reached, so that they release the locking opening of the drill pipe and the coupling with the drill pipe is automatically released in this way.
- this automatic release of the locking of the drill pipe only takes place when the form-fitting elements are in the free-running position, so that unintentional detachment of the drill pipe from the device according to the invention is avoided in any case.
- each of the guide elements has a sliding surface on which the head side of the locking element is slidably guided.
- the sliding surfaces of the guide elements with the head sides of the locking elements each form a sliding guide that is particularly robust against dirt or damage from external mechanical influences.
- a preferred development of the invention is characterized in that the distance was between the outer wall surface of the inner tube and a central area of the Sliding surface at least substantially corresponds to the length of one of the locking elements. This ensures that in the open position the locking elements are in any case led out of the locking openings of the drill pipe to such an extent that the drill pipe is completely released from the device according to the invention.
- the sliding surface is inclined towards the inner tube on the sides, starting from the central region.
- the sliding surface is designed in such a way that it has the greatest possible distance from the outer tube in the aforementioned Mittenbe, while the distance between the sliding surface and the outer tube is smaller on both sides.
- the sliding surface forms a control surface which, when the inner tube is rotated to the outer tube both clockwise and counterclockwise, always leads to a movement of the locking elements in the radial direction inward. In this way, the functionality of the locking is brought about by relative rotation of the inner and outer tubes.
- each of the guide elements comprises lateral holding elements, between which the sliding surface is arranged.
- the holding elements thus fulfill a double function.
- these spacer elements form in order to arrange the sliding surface with the required distance from the outer surface of the outer tube.
- these Ge counterpart elements for the locking elements to limit the maximum possible rotation of the outer and inner tubes relative to one another.
- each locking element comprises at least one head part and at least one locking part.
- the locking element is designed in two parts. With this two-part design, the individual parts can be manufactured separately. Such separate production processes increase flexibility in production, offer more options in the design and use of the locking elements, in particular it is possible to replace only those components that are subject to high mechanical stress and thus increased wear. For example, the forces acting on the locking part from the jacket of the outer tube during the locking process are the reason for a higher stress on the locking part compared to the head part and thus faster wear of the locking part.
- the two-part construction of the locking element enables one more targeted change as well as easier installation and removal of wear parts. The replacement of the entire locking part is prevented and thus material and its costs are saved. This also leads to lower construction and operating costs.
- Another useful embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the mutually facing sides of the head part and the locking part are designed and set up as coupling sides in such a way that the head part and the locking part can be connected to one another in a form-fitting and / or non-positive manner. In this way, the head part and the locking part can be joined together in a particularly simple manner and separated from each other again if necessary.
- the head part and the locking part preferably each have sides which allow the two to be coupled to one another. In this way, the two can be joined together in such a way that the strength and durability of the locking element is the same as that of a locking element formed in one piece. At the same time, the connection of the head part and the locking part can be released from one another at any time in order to allow a targeted exchange of defective or worn parts and to ensure easy installation, removal and reinstallation of the head part and the locking part.
- the coupling sides are in releasable engagement in the connected state of the head part with the locking part.
- the releasable engagement increases on the one hand the contact area of the head and locking part, so that the form and / or force fit and thus the cohesion of the individual parts of the locking element is strengthened, on the other hand, the engagement is designed to be releasable so that the components are again non-destructive can be separated. A complete replacement that would otherwise be necessary can thus be avoided.
- Another expedient embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least one securing element is designed and set up for releasably locking the head part with the locking part.
- the securing elements ensure that the head part and the locking part are locked and thus ensure that the head part and the locking part are held firmly together.
- the safety elements are set up to prevent unintentional loosening of the connection between the head part and the locking part.
- they can be solved again and thus ensure the flexibility of installation and removal as described above, such as changing and repairing the locking element or its components.
- the securing element is set up in a plane perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the drill pipe.
- the hedging element therefore forms a locking element that remains in its position when forces act in the plane of rotation.
- the securing element Since the securing element is arranged in such a way that it does not lie in the plane of rotation, force components acting in the plane of rotation do not act on the securing element in such a way that it could become detached. In this way, reliable locking is always achieved - even under load.
- the locking part has a higher surface hardness compared to the head part. Due to the high load caused by the sliding contact of the locking part with the jacket of the outer tube 11, a higher surface hardness compared to the head part of this component is advantageous for the resistance, longevity and reliability of the locking part.
- the head part which is exposed to lower mechanical loads, can be made of a material of lower strength due to the two-part nature of the locking element. In this way, the manufacturing and exchange costs can be significantly reduced, since only part of the material has to be made of high surface hardness.
- the invention further relates to a drilling arrangement for earth drilling, comprising a drill drive, at least one drill pipe with radially extending locking openings and a device for connecting the drill pipe to the drill drive.

- the outer tube 11 and the inner tube 10 can be displaced relative to one another in a longitudinal axial position.
- the interlocking elements 20 are in the free-running position, that is, they are free of engagement with one another.
- the form-locking elements 20 come into form-locking engagement with one another when - as shown in FIG. 4 - the inner tube 10 is displaced relative to the outer tube 11 in the pulling direction 23. This state occurs, for example, when a tensile force is exerted on the drill pipe 39 via the drill drive - not shown in the drawing. As shown in FIG. 4, the two upper form-locking elements 20 come into form-locking engagement with one another and thus form a non-rotatable connection between the inner tube 10 and the outer tube 11.
- the two lower form-locking elements 20 interlock with form-locking engagement as soon as the inner tube 10 is relative to the outer tube 11 in FIG Printing direction 24 is shifted.
