Definitions

  • the lining equipment In the case of known earth-drilling equipment, the lining equipment is disposed separately from the drilling equipment. Furthermore, the lining equipment must always be adjusted to different angles of inclination separately from the drilling equipment. With known lining equipment, the lining equipment is driven intermittently. The intermittent drive is effected by a pair of hydraulic drive cylinders operating so that one drive cylinder rotates the lining tube in one direction then the other drive cylinder rotates the lining tube in the opposite direction.
  • Such equipment has the disadvantage that the lining tube is initially accelerated, and then its progress is arrested, after which it must again be accelerated, with the consequence of high power consumption for driving the equipment.
  • an earth-drilling equipment comprising a drill table provided with a drilling drive for driving a drill rod and provided with a lining drive for driving a lining tube into a borehole drilled by that drill.
  • the drilling table is so constructed that the drilling drive and the lining drive are grouped together.
  • the drilling drive and the lining drive may be coupled to a common motor.
  • a driving member is arranged to drive a drill rod and a lining flange is constructed to drive lining tubes into boreholes.
  • the lining flange is coupled to the common motor via the driving member.
  • the lining flange and the driving member are separately coupled to the common motor.
  • the lining flange and the driving member are coupled to the common motor by means of a gearshift mechanism whereby the lining drive and the drilling drive may be operated independently of one another.
  • a second driving member may be arranged to be rotatably mounted on the firstmentioned driving member and coupled to the gearshift mechanism, in a manner such that the lining flange is coupled to said gearshift mechanism by said second driving member.
  • the lining flange may be provided with means for attaching borehole lining tubes of differing diameters.
  • the lining flange may be provided with an annular member and coupling elements for attaching borehole lining tubes to the lining flange, the annular member depending from the lining flange.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic side elevation of an earth-drilling equipment embodying the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial section through a drill table
  • FIG. 3 shows a modification of the embodiment of FIG. 2.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown earth-drilling equipment comprising a guide mast 1 on which a drill table 2 may glide up and down supported by means of a block and tackle 17.
  • the drill table 2 is adapted to exert a downward thrust.
  • a hydraulic motor 4 drives a driving member 5 which is located in the drill table housing 3.
  • a driving connection between the hydraulic motor 4 and the driving member 5 is made via a gearwheel 6 coupled to the hydromotor 4 and the gear ring 7 secured to the driving member 5 by means of bolts indicated schematically by the reference numeral 8.
  • the gear ring 7 also provides one-half of a slewing gear by means of which the driving member 5 is drivable relative to its housing 3.
  • the inner part 9 of the slewing gear is connected to the drill table housing 3.
  • annular lining flange I1 is secured by means of bolt indicated schematically by the reference numeral 12 or other fixing means in a corresponding recess 10.
  • Driver dogs I3 may be welded or bolted to depend from the lining flange 11 and set at different diameters for differently sized lining tubes. as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the drive dogs 13 may be replaced by annular member 14 which may be welded on the underside of the lining flange 11, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the corresponding lining tubes may be attached to the end of the annular member 14 by means of coupling elements.
  • the operation to drill and line a borehole commences with the driving member 5 being driven through the gearwheels 6 and 7.
  • the driving member 5 drives a drill rod 19 through driver bars (not shown) and the lining tube via the lining flange 11.
  • a hydraulic cylinder 18, which is coupled to the block and tackle I7, is arranged to exert a vertical thrust on the lining tube.
  • the equipment may also be operated in reverse for rotating the drill out of the bore, the block and tackle exerting a simultaneous pulling action.
  • the earth-drilling equipment shown is generally similar to that shown in FIG. 2.
  • the driving table 2 in FIG. 3 is modified in that separate driving members are provided for driving the drill rod 19 and the lining flange.
  • the driving member driving the drill rod 19 operated as described in relation to FIG. 2.
  • a second driving member 16 which is rotatably mounted on the first driving member and drives the lining flange, is driven by the hydraulic motor 4 via a gearshift mechanism 15, which is illustrated schematically.
  • This arrangement enables the drill rod to be driven independently of the lining tube.
  • the gearshift mechanism 15 the equipment may be operated for lining only or for drilling only.
  • Each of the embodiments hereinbefore described illustrate earth drilling equipment for drilling and lining boreholes which may be employed for drilling at angles inclined to the vertical and which avoids the adjustment difficulties experienced, when using separate drilling and lining equipments.
  • this equipment the power required for the combination operation of drilling and lining is reduced by comparison with that required for separate drilling equipment and lining equipment.
  • Earth-drilling equipment comprising a drilling table supported above the ground and having a housing
  • a driving member rotatably mounted in the housing and adapted to drive a drill rod
  • a lining flange rotatable with the driving member and adapted to drive a borehole lining tube
  • a hydraulic cylinder coupled to the block and tackle for exerting a vertical thrust on the bore hold lining tube, whereby, when the drill table is in use, on operation of the drive means, the driving member drives the drill rod to drill a borehole and the lining flange drives a borehole lining tube into said borehole.
