  • the nozzle bodies each have at least one nozzle opening and the jet angle of the fluid is predetermined by the nozzle bodies.
  • the nozzle bodies are detachably connected to the recesses in the base body.
  • the nozzle bodies are thus interchangeable, so that different nozzle bodies with different jet angles of the fluid in relation to the longitudinal extension of the drill string can be used.
  • the fluid can be jetted at a steep angle to the longitudinal extension of the base body so that the fluid flow is directed more in the direction of the surrounding soil, or the fluid can be guided at a shallow angle along the annular space.
  • the flushing device can thus be set up to expand the borehole and thus the annular space more, or the flushing device can be more geared towards flushing the flushing flow of the loosened earth material through the annular space.
  • the base body is rotationally symmetrical.
  • the base body of the flushing device can be rotationally symmetrical, for example, hollow-cylindrical, so that the recesses for receiving the nozzle bodies can be distributed along the circumference. This allows the fluid flow to be generated along the entire circumference of the base body in the annular space between the drill string and the ground.
  • the recesses are evenly distributed along the circumference of the base body.
  • the distribution of the recesses and thus the nozzle body enables a uniform generation of a fluid flow in the annular space around the flushing device.
  • the recesses are arranged in the tapered ring surfaces of the tapered regions and the recesses are laterally delimited by tapered side walls.
  • the recesses are arranged in the tapered regions in such a way that their longitudinal extension runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal extension of the base body.

  • the middle part has a larger diameter than the other areas of the flushing device.
  • the other areas of the flushing device can be, for example, connecting pieces for the rods of the drill string, so that it can be installed in the drill string.
  • the diameter of the middle part is preferably smaller than the diameter of the hole created by the drill bit.
  • nozzle bodies with different angles of attack can be accommodated in the recesses. Because different nozzle bodies with different angles of attack of the nozzle openings can be accommodated in the recesses, the Flushing device can be adapted to different purposes. For example, nozzle bodies with steep angles of attack can be used to enlarge a borehole, while nozzle bodies with flatter angles of attack can be used to extend the length of the base body to improve the return flow through the annulus.
  • the nozzle openings in a first ring surface are directed essentially in the direction of the advance direction of the drill string and the nozzle openings of a second ring surface are directed essentially against the advance direction of the drill string.
  • the nozzle openings of the nozzle bodies in a first conical region as seen from the drill head can be directed in the direction of the advance direction of the drill string, while the nozzle openings arranged in a second conical region arranged behind the middle part as seen from the drill head can be directed against the advance direction.
  • the nozzle bodies arranged in the second conical region thus support a fluid flow through the annular space in the direction of the starting point of the bore.
  • a further aspect of the invention relates to a method for flushing soil with a flushing device according to the invention, wherein the fluid flow guided through the nozzles is guided both essentially in the direction of the drilling advance and essentially against the direction of the drilling advance.

  • the flushing device can also be used in a drill string to enlarge the diameter of the borehole, i.e. the annular space.
  • nozzles with a large beam angle to the longitudinal extent of the drill string can be selected.
  • the pressure conditions in the annular space can be adjusted, in particular the annular space pressure can be reduced and the occurrence of blowouts can be minimized.
  • a drill hole can also be dammed or cemented by pumping appropriate fluids. This is particularly favored due to the modular design with exchangeable nozzle bodies, as the nozzle bodies can be easily cleaned or replaced.
  • the flushing device can also be used to cause artificial borehole collapses.
  • the filter cake on a borehole wall can be softened or dissolved, so that the borehole becomes unstable.
  • a high input of drilling fluid or water under high pressure can be used at specific points. The resulting unstable caverns then tend to collapse.
  • the flushing device makes it possible to flush obstacles free when it is used as a single tool and not installed in a drill string. Obstacles that are arranged underground at least in sections can be flushed free by means of a fluid flushing stream through nozzles that are set up, without having to come into direct contact with the obstacles.

  • the drilling device for creating the borehole has a flushing device according to the invention.
  • a fluid is passed through the flushing device, wherein the direction of the fluid flow is predetermined by the angle of attack of the nozzle openings of the nozzle bodies.

  • the drilling fluid backflow can be stabilized by enlarging the borehole, so that bore lengths of over 1,000 meters can also be achieved.
  • the use of the flushing device optimizes the cleaning of the borehole, since the return flow of the drilling fluid stream is mainly generated by the flushing device and not by the flushing fluid exiting the pilot bit.
  • the diameter of the borehole is increased by the fluid stream passed through the nozzles.
  • the borehole created can be significantly enlarged by the additional flushing flow introduced by the flushing device and by the angle of attack of the nozzles.
  • the borehole area flushed out with the flushing device can be several times the size of the pilot drilling area.
