Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention involves digging deep wells for extracting oil, groundwater, etc., collecting geological samples and exploring underground.
Alternatively, regarding a drilling device used for civil engineering work, etc., a bit holder with a bit attached is sent through the drill pipe to the underground end of the drill pipe using pressurized water. Lock the bit holding part with the locking device,
Rotating the drill pipe and pushing the bit into the ground while rotating the bit holder, drilling a hole in the ground with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the drill pipe using the bit and hole expanding cutter provided in the bit holder, Alternatively, the present invention relates to a drilling device capable of penetrating and collecting a geological sample into a core provided in a bit holder at the same time as drilling.

In this type of drilling equipment, water is sent into the drill pipe, passed through the bit holding part, and supplied to the vicinity of the bit and hole-expanding cutter to cool the bit and cutter and remove the chips cut by the bit and cutter. is discharged to the ground along with water through the outside of the drill pipe. In order to effectively supply water near the cutting edge of the bit and cutter, water is supplied to the bit from inside the drill pipe through the bit holder and from between the bit holder and the drill pipe to the lower end of the drill pipe. In order to prevent water from passing through, conventionally, an annular rubber packing is applied to the outer periphery of the bit holding part, and the rubber packing is pressed into contact with an annular step provided on the inner surface of the drill pipe.

For this reason, when the bit holding part is pulled up to the surface of the earth through the drill pipe, a large load is applied to the rubber packing due to the water filling the drill pipe, making it difficult to pull it up.

The present invention makes it easy to pull up the bit holder from the lower end of the drill pipe, and in the locked position, it is possible to reliably block water from passing between the bit holder and the drill pipe, and to prevent the bit holder from coming out from the lower end of the drill pipe. In order to achieve this purpose, the structure described in the claims is made to have a locking piece that also serves as a part of the water stop ring, making the structure simpler than before. This type of drilling equipment is equipped with the following.

An embodiment of the present invention shown in the figures will be described. The upper half of FIG. 1 shows when the bit holder is locked with respect to the drill pipe, and the lower half shows when it is unlocked.

1 is a drill pipe, 2 is an outer pipe, and 3 is an inner pipe, the outer pipe 2 has an outer diameter that can be inserted into the drill pipe 1, and the inner pipe 3 has an outer pipe that can be moved in the axial direction into the outer pipe 2. 2
inserted inside. Bit 4 is attached to the lower end of inner tube 3.
and a hole expanding cutter 5 are attached, and the inner tube 3 structurally serves as a bit holding section. The bit 4 is attached to the center of the lower end of the inner tube 3. The hole expanding cutter 5 is attached to the inner pipe 3 via a handle 6, and is positioned so as to protrude underground from the bit 3. The handle 6 has a hole-expanding cutter 5 fixed to one end.
The other end is fitted into grooves 7 formed on the outer periphery of the lower end of the inner tube 3 at intervals of, for example, 120°, and is attached to the inner tube 3 within the port 7 with pins 8 perpendicular to the diametrical direction of the inner tube 3.
It is designed to be able to rotate in a plane parallel to the diameter direction of the inner tube 3 using the pin 8 as a fulcrum. A spring 9 is inserted between the bottom of the groove 7 and the handle 6 from the other end of the pin 8 of the handle 6, and this spring 9 causes the hole expanding cutter 5 to protrude from the lower end of the drill pipe 1. This allows a part of the hole expanding cutter 5 to be moved beyond the outer diameter of the drill pipe 1. By moving the outer tube 2 relative to the inner tube 3, the other end of the handle 6 is pressed and released from the outside with the lower end 2a of the outer tube 2, and the hole expanding cutter 5 is moved into the drill pipe 1. It can be maintained inside the inner diameter or projected outside the outer diameter of the drill pipe 1.

A lock piece 10 is provided in a recess formed on the surface slightly above the lower end of the inner tube 3 so as to fit within the outer periphery of the inner tube 3, and a portion of the lock piece 10 along the circumferential direction of the inner tube 3 is provided. is provided so as to be able to protrude to the outside of the inner tube 3 by means of a spring (not shown). A locking piece operation window 11 is opened in a part of the outer tube 2 where the locking piece 10 is located. The locking piece operation window 11 is located at a position where the hole expanding cutter 5 protrudes ahead of the lower end of the drill pipe 1, a portion of which protrudes beyond the outer diameter of the drill pipe 1, and is held by the lower end of the outer pipe 2. A part of the locking piece 10 can be projected outside through a locking piece operation window 11. On the inner surface of drill pipe 1,
The lock piece 10 just protrudes from the lock piece operation window 11.
A recess 12 is formed which engages with a part of the locking piece 10 in an axial and circumferential direction of the drill pipe 1 in a relatively immovable manner. The tube 3 is fixed to the drill pipe 1 so that it can rotate together with the drill pipe 1 and can also move together in the axial direction. When the outer tube 2 is moved upward (toward the ground side) so that the lower end 2a of the outer tube 2 is separated from one end of the handle 6 and the hole expanding cutter 5 can be positioned inside the drill pipe 1,
A portion of the locking piece 10 is gradually held down inside the outer tube 2 by the edge of the locking piece operating window 11 of the outer tube 2, and is pushed by the inner surface of the outer tube 2 as shown in the lower half of FIG. , is adapted to be maintained within the outer tube 2.

The upper end of the inner pipe 3 on the ground side is slightly shorter inward than the upper end of the outer pipe 2, and as described above, the upper end of the outer pipe 2
When the inner tube 3 and the inner tube 3 are moved relative to each other in the axial direction, a fan-shaped water stopper at an angle of approximately 140° is formed at the upper part 2b of the outer tube 2, which overlaps or does not overlap with the upper end of the inner tube 3. A piece 13 protrudes from and faces the outer circumference of the outer tube 2, and is attached to the outer tube 2 by spline fitting so as not to be movable in the circumferential direction. The outer tube 2 is provided with a water passage hole 14 that communicates between the inside and the outside, and extends downward from between the water stop pieces 13 to a portion where the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 3 always overlap.

A locking piece 15 is attached via a wedge to a portion of the inner tube 3 facing the water passage hole 14 of the outer tube 2 so as not to be movable in the circumferential direction of the outer tube 2. The locking piece 15 is formed to protrude outward from the water passage hole 14 of the outer tube 2 and to form a closed ring together with the water stopper piece 13.

The spline connecting the outer tube 2 and the water stopper piece 13 is such that the spline provided on the outer surface of the outer tube 2 connects the water stopper piece 13.
The water stop piece 13 is slightly longer than the axial width of the water stop piece 13.
can be moved slightly in the axial direction with respect to the outer tube 2, and the locking piece 15 can also be moved slightly in the axial direction with respect to the inner tube 3 along the wedge.

The aforementioned locking piece 10 is inserted into the recess 12 of the drill pipe 1.
When the outer tube 2 is moved to a position where the hole expanding cutter 5 can be held in a protruding state beyond the outer diameter of the drill pipe 1, the water stopper piece 13 and the locking piece 15 are on the same circumference. The end surface of this toroidal body on the underground side comes into contact with an annular step 16 formed on the inner surface of the drill pipe 1 and facing toward the ground side. The water piece 13 and the locking piece 15 cooperate with the annular step 16 to close the space between the outer pipe 2 and the drill pipe 1, so that the water sent from the ground side inside the drill pipe 1 is 2 and the drill pipe 1 to prevent it from flowing toward the lower end. The locking piece 15 and the annular step 16 lock when the outer pipe 2 and the inner pipe 3 have been moved from the ground side to the underground side and the locking piece 10 is not yet engaged with the recess 12. The piece 10 serves as a locking device for stopping the inner tube 3 in a position opposite the recess 12.

There is a water intake port 17 provided at the upper end of the outer pipe 2 so as to communicate with the inner pipe 3, and water entering from the water intake port 17 passes through the inner pipe 3 and from the lower end of the inner pipe 3.
It is designed to be supplied near the bit 4 and the hole-expanding cutter 5.

The upper end of the outer tube 2 is also provided with a conical riveted protrusion 18 that protrudes toward the ground side.

The bit holding part consisting of the outer tube 2, inner tube 3, etc. moves the outer tube 2 to the upper end side with respect to the inner tube 3 so that the hole expanding cutter 5 can be inserted into the drill pipe 1, and also locks the bit. The stopper 10 is attached to the outer tube 2 by the outer tube 2.
The underground side end of the drill pipe 1 is inserted into the drill pipe 1 from the ground side end of the drill pipe 1, and pressurized water is supplied into the drill pipe 1 from above, and the underground side end of the drill pipe 1 is sent towards. The inner pipe 3 that has reached the underground side is stopped at the locked position by the locking piece 15 hitting the annular step 16. Next, due to inertia and water pressure, the outer pipe 2 moves underground, expanding the hole expanding cutter 5 that protrudes from the lower end of the drill pipe 1, and the locking piece 10
is engaged with the recess 12 to connect the drill pipe 1 and the inner pipe 3 together. At the same time, the water stopper piece 13 provided on the outer pipe 2 comes into contact with the annular step 16 to form a ring with the locking piece 15, and water passes between the outer pipe 2 and the drill pipe 1 and the water enters the drill pipe 1. Since water is prevented from flowing to the lower end, water is supplied from the water intake port 17 through the inner pipe 3 to the vicinity of the bit 4 and the hole-expanding cutter 5. In this state, if the drill pipe 1 is rotated from the ground and pushed toward the ground at the same time, a hole can be drilled into the ground.

If the penetration speed of the drill pipe 1 into the ground decreases due to wear of the cutting blades of the bit 4 or the hole-expanding cutter 5, and it becomes necessary to replace the bit 4 or the hole-expanding cutter 5, remove the hook at one end. Insert the wire attached to the drill pipe 1 into the drill pipe 1, send the hook underground with water flow, engage the hook with the protrusion 18 at the upper end of the outer pipe 2, and then insert the wire attached to the inner pipe 3, the outer pipe 2, etc. can be pulled out to the ground. At this time, the outer tube 2 is first moved to the ground side relative to the inner tube 3 by the wire as shown in the lower half of FIG. Due to this movement of the outer tube 2, the hole expanding cutter 5 falls within the inner diameter range of the outer tube 2, and the locking piece 10 is pushed into the outer tube 2 by the locking piece operation window 11 and is connected to the inner tube 3 with the drill. pipe 1
The engagement with is released. At the same time, as shown in the lower half of Figure 1 and Figure 2, the water stopper piece 13 moves to the ground side from the locking piece 15 and becomes different in level, so that water passes between the outer pipe 2 and the drill pipe 1 and reaches the ground. be able to pass through. In this state, the inner pipe 3, outer pipe 2, etc. can be pulled up toward the ground using wires, so that the water in the drill pipe 1 is drained into the inner pipe 3 and between the outer pipe 2 and the drill pipe 1. Since the load of water on pulling is reduced, the lifting work can be easily carried out.

The water stopper piece 13 and the locking piece 15 can be moved in the axial direction if they are formed so that the locking piece 10 is securely pressed against the annular step 16 of the drill pipe 1 at the position where the locking piece 10 engages with the recess 12 of the drill pipe 1. Outer tube 2 and inner tube 3 so that
may be fixed respectively. However, due to wear due to use etc., the lock piece 10 of the outer tube 2 has a lock piece operating window 1.
When the locking piece 10 becomes difficult to pull into the outer pipe 2 due to the edge of the drill pipe 1 biting in, in order to make it easier to unlock by shaking the drill pipe 1 up and down, or to allow for dimensional errors, the above-mentioned method can be used. As shown in the embodiment, it is more convenient for use if the water stopper piece 13 and the locking piece 15 are provided so that they can move slightly in the axial direction.

In the present invention, the annular step 16 provided on the inner surface of the drill pipe 1 in order to prevent water flow between the drill pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2,
Since it can also be used as a stage to prevent water from slipping out from the lower end, there is no need to separately provide a stage for preventing water flow and a stage for preventing water from slipping out in the drill pipe 1, as in the past, and the structure is simpler than before. It's easy to do.

Further, the water passage hole 14 can be extended above the water cutoff piece 13 to communicate with the inside of the inner pipe 3, and can be used as a partial water intake port 17.
