Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a well drilling system and its method.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A conventional method of drilling a well is divided into two stages. The first stage is to embed a tubular sleeve into a desired drilling site by initially preparing a tubular sleeve and a platform that is stably mounted on the ground for supporting the sleeve. The sleeve has a lower periphery formed with a plurality of saw-toothed cutters or provided with a plurality of tungsten steel drilling bits. Afterwards, a driving device that is provided on the platform actuates the sleeve to rotate relative to the platform. Due to rotating and scraping actions of the cutters or the drilling bits, the sleeve is pushed downwardly into the ground.
- The second stage is to remove stones and soil in the sleeve. In this stage, when the drilling site is of soft soil layer, which is made up mostly of slime and sand, a heavy equipment with a hanging dipper bucket is used to continuously dig out the stones and soil in the sleeve. When the drilling site is of hard soil layer, which is made up mostly of pebblestones and cobblestones, the second stage includes two steps. The first step is to hang a rotating drill head or a vibrating crusher on the heavy equipment that extends into the sleeve so as to cut or crush the stones inside the sleeve. The second step is to hang a dipper bucket on the heavy equipment so as to remove the crushed stones and soil out of the sleeve. The first and second steps are repeatedly performed so that the stones and soil can be gradually cleared out of the sleeve. A well is built accordingly.
- When building a well on a drilling site with hard soil layer, since the above-mentioned two steps have to be repeatedly performed, if only one heavy equipment is used, the hanging unit on the heavy equipment has to be alternately and repeatedly changed, thereby increasing the cost, prolonging the working time, and increasing danger. However, if two heavy equipments are used at the same time, not only is the cost largely increased, public safety is affected as well. Moreover, since the above drilling method requires heavy equipment with enormous volume and weight, not only are the drilling steps complicated and slow, use of the method is limited due to its inaccessibility to a drilling site with limited space.
- Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a well drilling system and its method so as to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art.
- According to one aspect of this invention, a well drilling system comprises a platform adapted to be mounted on the ground, a tubular sleeve mounted movably on the platform and having a lower end, a drilling device inserted into the tubular sleeve, and a circulation device. The drilling device includes a support seat connected detachably to the lower end, a drilling head mounted rotatably on the support seat, and at least one powered actuator connected to the support seat and the drilling head to actuate the drilling head to rotate relative to the support seat. The circulation device includes a pipe, and is mounted inside the tubular sleeve, and is adapted to remove soil out of the tubular sleeve.
- According to another aspect of this invention, a method for drilling a well comprises the steps of mounting a platform fixedly on the ground, placing a tubular sleeve on the ground and mounting the tubular sleeve on the platform, positioning a drilling device in the tubular sleeve, simultaneously actuating the drilling device and driving downwardly the sleeve onto the ground, pouring water into the sleeve to fluidize soil within the sleeve, and drawing out the fluidized soil from the sleeve.

As such, the length of thesleeve 3 along the axial line (L) is unlimited, and can be adjusted as desired. As a whole, thetubular sleeve 3 includes asleeve body 31 and a plurality of downwardly extendingrails 35 provided in an inner wall of thesleeve body 31 and extending axially of thesleeve 3. Specifically, fourrails 35 are provided in this embodiment. Thesleeve body 31 has alower end 33 that is distal to theplatform 2, and anupper end 34 opposite to thelower end 33. A plurality of retainingunits 321 are provided in the inner wall of thesleeve body 31 proximate to thelower end 33 for positioning the drilling device 4. Each retainingunit 321 is formed with a retaininggroove 322. Therails 35 extend symmetrically along the axial line (L) from theupper end 34 to thelower end 33. In this embodiment, therails 35 are protruding posts that protrude inwardly from the inner wall of thesleeve body 31. However, therails 35 are not limited as such. In an alternative embodiment, therails 35 are a plurality of grooves formed in the inner wall of thesleeve body 31 and extending along the axial line (L). Since such a modification is obvious to those skilled in the art, a detailed description of the same will be dispensed with herein for the sake of brevity. - Referring to FIGS. 1, 3 and4, the drilling device 4 is inserted into the
tubular sleeve 3, and includes asupport seat 41 connected detachably to thelower end 33 of thesleeve body 31, adrilling head 42 mounted rotatably on thesupport seat 41, and a plurality ofpowered actuators 43 disposed between and abutting against thesupport seat 41 and thedrilling head 42. - The
support seat 41 of the drilling device 4 includes acentral base body 410, a plurality ofradial base members 411 extending from thecentral base body 410, a plurality ofguide units 412 provided on theradial base members 411, and a powered positioning unit. In this embodiment, theguide units 412 are inwardly extending grooves formed respectively in the distal ends of theradial base members 411, and slidingly and respectively engage therails 35. Thesupport seat 41 slidingly engages therails 35 through theguide units 412 for sliding movement from theupper end 34 to thelower end 33 of thesleeve body 31 when the drilling device 4 is inserted into thetubular sleeve 3. Since therails 35 can provide reinforcing effect to thetubular sleeve 3, therails 35 can also serve as reinforcing ribs of the latter. The powered positioning unit is disposed between the inner wall of thesleeve body 31 and thesupport seat 41 adjacent to thelower end 33 of thesleeve body 31 so as to position thesupport seat 41 when thesupport seat 41 reaches thelower end 33 of thesleeve body 31. The powered positioning unit includes a plurality ofhydraulic members 414 mounted respectively at the distal ends of theradial base members 411, and a plurality ofpositioning members 413 connected respectively to thehydraulic members 414. Thepositioning members 413 engage releasably and respectively the retaininggrooves 322 in the retainingunits 321 of thesleeve body 31 so that thesupport seat 41 and thesleeve body 31 cannot produce relative displacement. Thehydraulic members 414 actuate thepositioning members 413 to move along a radial direction (N) of the axial line (L) to engage respectively the retaininggrooves 322 so that the drilling device 4 is prevented from moving along therails 35. As such, the drilling device 4 can be positioned relative to thesleeve body 31. - The
drilling head 42 of the drilling device 4 is attached rotatably to thecentral base body 410 of thesupport seat 41, is disposed below the latter, and has arotary shaft 422 pivotally connected to thesupport seat 41, arotary frame 421 connected fixedly to therotary shaft 422, and a plurality offorce receiving posts 423 annularly provided at intervals on therotary frame 421 around theshaft 422 and proximate to thesupport seat 41. Therotary frame 421 includes acentral frame body 421A attached rotatably to thecentral base body 410, and a plurality ofradial frame members 421B extending from thecentral frame body 421A and disposed below and adjacent to theradial base members 411. Thesupport seat 41 further includes athrust bearing 416 mounted on thecentral base body 410. Load capacity of thethrust bearing 416 is 30 tons. Therotary shaft 422 is connected to thethrust bearing 416. Theradial base members 411 and theradial frame members 421B have opposed surfaces which move toward and away from each other when therotary frame 421 rotates relative to thesupport seat 41. Theforce receiving posts 423 are symmetrically disposed on therotary frame 421, are disposed at a uniform distance of 20 cm from an outer periphery of therotary frame 421, and extend along and parallel to the axial line (L) toward thesupport seat 41. The total number of theforce receiving posts 423 used in this embodiment is 16. - The powered
actuators 43 are provided for actuating thedrilling head 42 to rotate relative to thesupport seat 41. There are fourpowered actuators 43 used in this embodiment. Thepowered actuators 43 are symmetrically and respectively mounted on theradial base members 411 of thesupport seat 41 relative to the axial line (L) of thetubular sleeve 3. Eachpowered actuator 43 can supply 15 tons of actuating force, and retract and extend within a range of 15 centimeters. Eachpowered actuator 43 has an actuating force direction parallel to the tangential direction of the rotation of thedrilling head 42, and includes afixed end 431 pivotally connected to a respective one of theradial base members 411, amovable end 432 distal to thefixed end 431, and anintermediate section 433 between thefixed end 431 and themovable end 432. Thesupport seat 41 further includes a plurality ofspring units 415, each of which is disposed between and abuts against a respective one of theradial base members 411 and a respective one of theintermediate sections 433 of thepowered actuators 43. In this embodiment, each of thespring units 415 is an extension spring. Restoring force of each of thespring units 415 provides dampening and position-limiting effect to the respective one of thepowered actuators 43. When eachspring unit 415 is in a balanced state, it can maintain the actuating force direction of eachpowered actuator 43 and a radial rotational direction (R) of thedrilling head 42 in a parallel state. - The powered
actuators 43 abut respectively against theforce receiving posts 423, and push the latter along a tangential direction of therotary frame 421 so as to actuate thedrilling head 42 to turn to-and-fro relative to thesupport seat 41. - Referring to FIGS. 1, 5 and6, the
drilling head 42 further includes a plurality ofextension arms 424 connected pivotally and respectively to theradial frame members 421B of therotary frame 421, and a plurality of spaced-apart cutters 425 that are provided respectively on theextension arms 424 and theradial frame members 421B. Eachextension arm 424 is movable from an unfolded state shown in FIG. 5 to a folded state shown in FIG. 6. In the unfolded state, eachextension arm 424 projects radially out of the periphery of therotary frame 421 so that the radius of thedrilling head 42 is larger than the inner radius of thetubular sleeve 3. In the folded state, eachextension arm 424 does not project radially out of the periphery of therotary frame 421 so that the radius of thedrilling head 42 is smaller than the inner radius of thetubular sleeve 3. Layout method of thecutters 425 is that thecutters 425 are provided around therotary shaft 422 at intervals, and are arranged on theradial frame members 421B of therotary frame 421. - Referring to FIGS. 1 and 7, when applied to the ground9 with lots of stones 92 (only one is shown in FIG. 7), the drilling device 4 is further designed to include a plurality of grinding
jaws teeth 83 projecting oppositely on the opposed surfaces of theradial base members 411 and theradial frame members 421B. Each of the grindingjaws slant surface 811 formed with rough lines. When thedrilling head 42 rotates relative to thesupport seat 41, the grindingjaws stone 92 between the limitingslant surfaces 811 can be ground. Theteeth 83 can further grind thestone 92 into much smaller pieces due to relative movement between thesupport seat 41 and thedrilling head 42. - Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 2, the driving device includes a clamping
frame 51 detachably connected to theupper end 34 of thetubular sleeve 3, and fourdrive units 52, each of which has two ends respectively connected to theplatform 2 and the clampingframe 51. Eachdrive unit 52 applies a downward driving force parallel to the axial line (L) of thetubular sleeve 3 so as to move downwardly thetubular sleeve 3 toward the ground 9. In this embodiment, thedrive units 52 are connected fixedly to thebase seat 21, and, together with the above-mentionedpowered actuators 43 and thehydraulic members 414, are controlled by the hydraulic device 6. - Referring to FIGS. 1 and 8, the hydraulic device6 includes a
hydraulic control unit 61, which has anoil reservoir 610 and a plurality offlow valves 611, and a plurality ofhydraulic pipes 62 in fluid communication with theoil reservoir 610. Thehydraulic pipes 62 are connected respectively to theadjustment actuators 23, thedrive units 52, thepowered actuators 43, and thehydraulic members 414. Thus, during operation of thehydraulic control unit 61, thehydraulic members 414 can actuate respectively thepositioning members 413 so as to position thesupport seat 41, theadjustment actuators 23 can adjust the slope of the clampingframe 51 with respect to the ground 9, thedrive units 52 can actuate the clampingframe 51 so as to drive downwardly thetubular sleeve 3, and thepowered actuators 43 can push theforce receiving posts 423 to rotate thedrilling head 42 so as to effect drilling. - Referring to FIGS. 1 and 9, the
circulation device 7 includes a dischargingpipe 71 disposed inside thetubular sleeve 3, adrawing pump 72 in fluid communication with the dischargingpipe 71, aseparator unit 73 connected to thedrawing pump 72, and adelivery pipe 74 extending from theseparator unit 73 to the inside of thetubular sleeve 3. The dischargingpipe 71 is formed with a suckingopening 710. Theseparator unit 73 includes a slanted vibratingscreen 731 connected to thedrawing pump 72, and awater trough 730 disposed below thescreen 731 so as to receive the separated water from thescreen 731. Thedelivery pipe 74 is in communication with thewater trough 730, and directs the separated water that passes through thescreen 731 into thetubular sleeve 3 for recycling. A blockingplate 417 is disposed on thesupport seat 41 distal to thedrilling head 42 so as to confine the separated water inside thelower end 33 of thetubular sleeve 3, thereby preventing the separated water from staining other portions of thewell drilling system 1. - Below is a description for drilling the well90 (see FIG. 1) using the
well drilling system 1 of the present invention. - Referring to FIG. 10, in step (a), the
platform 2 is mounted fixedly on the ground 9. Driveunits 52 are mounted on thebase seat 21 of theplatform 2. In step (b), one of thesleeve bodies 31 of thetubular sleeve 3 is placed on the ground 9, and the clampingframe 51 is mounted on thesleeve body 31. In this step, the clampingframe 51 is connected to thedrive units 52. - In step (c), the drilling device4 is positioned in the
lower end 33 of thesleeve body 31. In this embodiment, the drilling device 4 is hung by a hanging machine (not shown), and is lowered into thesleeve body 31 by sliding downwardly from theupper end 34 to thelower end 33 of thesleeve body 31 through coordination of theguide units 412 and therails 35. However, the process is not limited as such. Theplatform 2 can be provided with a hanging arm (not shown) to undertake similar work. The hydraulic device 6 controls thehydraulic members 414 to actuate thepositioning members 413 to extend into the retaininggrooves 322 in the retainingunits 321 of thesleeve body 31, thereby positioning thesupport seat 41 of the drilling device 4 in thelower end 33 of thesleeve body 31. - Note that prior to the installation of the drilling device4 into the
sleeve body 31, the hydraulic device 6 is connected to theadjustment actuators 23, thehydraulic members 414, thedrive units 52, and thepowered actuators 43, and thecirculation device 7 is mounted securely beforehand. - In step (d), the drilling device4 is actuated, and the
sleeve body 31 is driven downwardly into the ground 9, simultaneously. Thepowered actuators 43 are used to turn to-and-fro the drilling device 4 by applying forces to the drilling device 4 along tangential directions in a consecutive or simultaneous manner. In this step, thepowered actuators 43 apply forces along directions perpendicular to the radial direction (R) of thedrilling head 42 so as to activate thedrilling head 42 to rotate relative to thesupport seat 41. Thedrilling head 42 starts to drill the ground 9 at this time, and the stones 92 (only one is shown in FIG. 7) are ground by the grindingjaws teeth 83 into smaller pieces. - In step (e), water is poured into the
sleeve body 31 so as to fluidize soil within thesleeve body 31. In this step, thewater trough 730 of theseparator unit 73 is filled with a suitable amount of water, and water is guided into thesleeve body 31 through thedelivery pipe 74. - In step (f), fluidized soil is drawn out from the
sleeve body 31, and is sucked into the dischargingpipe 71 through the suckingopening 710. - Afterwards, water is separated from the fluidized soil. Through the
separator unit 73 and the vibratingscreen 731, which communicates with the drawingpump 72, large size solid materials in the fluidized soil are-sifted. The separated water is sent into thesleeve body 31 for recycling. Since theseparator unit 73 has awater trough 730 located below thescreen 731 for receiving the separated water, and since thedelivery pipe 74 extends into thesleeve body 31 and communicates with thewater trough 730, the separated water that passes through thescreen 731 is automatically sent into thesleeve body 31 for recycling. - The aforesaid steps (d), (e) and (f) are carried out simultaneously until the
sleeve body 31 is entirely lowered into the ground 9. At this stage, the operation of the drilling device 4 is stopped, and anothersleeve body 31 is superimposed on the one previously lowered into the ground 9. The length of thetubular sleeve 3 is therefore increased. The above-described steps are repeated, andadditional sleeve bodies 31 are consecutively added until thelowermost sleeve body 31 reaches a predetermined depth. - When the predetermined depth is reached, the operations of the
powered actuators 43 and thedrive units 52 are stopped. The remaining fluidized soil in thesleeve body 31 are discharged through the dischargingpipe 71, and are prevented from flowing back into thesleeve body 31 through thedelivery pipe 74. - Finally, the positioning posts413 are separated from the
positioning grooves 322 by thehydraulic members 414, and the drilling device 4 is pulled out of thetubular sleeve 3 by the heavy equipment (not shown). - It should be noted that in this embodiment, the hydraulic device6 controls the
powered actuators 43 to apply forces respectively on theforce receiving posts 423 in a consecutive manner so as to actuate thedrilling head 42 to rotate relative to thesupport seat 41. Thus, if the ground 9 is soft, thedrilling head 42 is first actuated by using some of thepowered actuators 43 to move the correspondingforce receiving posts 423 to an angular distance. The remainingpowered actuators 43 are subsequently operated by the hydraulic device 6 to push the otherforce receiving posts 423 to successively turn thedrilling head 42. As such, the alternating operations of thepowered actuators 43 can maintain higher rotational speed of thedrilling head 42. If the ground 9 is hard, thedrilling head 42 cannot be effectively actuated by merely using some of thepowered actuators 43. However, since the remainingpowered actuators 43 operate successively, an increased torque can be applied to thedrilling head 42, thereby actuating thedrilling head 42 at a lower rotational speed but with a larger torque. - The powered
actuators 43 can also be designed to simultaneously apply forces to theforce receiving posts 423 so that thedrilling head 42 can rotate relative to thesupport seat 41 with fixed torsion force and at constant rotational speed. - From the above description of the preferred embodiment of the well drilling system and its method of the present invention, when building the well90 on hard ground 9, steps (a) to (f) are simultaneously carried out so that it is completely unnecessary to separately perform the crushing and digging operations. As such, the drilling method is simplified so that production cost is lowered, working time is shortened, and public safety is enhanced. Furthermore, the digging work is carried out through the control of the hydraulic device 6 so that the
well drilling system 1 and the method according to the present invention can be semi-automated or even fully automated, thereby increasing the drilling efficiency, shortening working hours and lowering manpower cost. Moreover, since the drilling method of the present invention does not require heavy equipment, it can be widely applied to different types of working sites, and is not limited by space. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
