  • the systems include arm means for moving a drill rod into and out of position in the earth boring machine with gripping means connected to the arm means for gripping an individual drill rod.
  • the gripping means are generally actuated by an external power source. This has, on occasion, resulted in drill rods being dropped upon failure of the external power source.
  • the gripping means would release the drill rod allowing the drill rod to fall in a haphazard manner in the vicinity of the earth boring machine.
  • the drill rods are heavy and a serious hazard to personnel and damage to equipment can result.
  • the apparatus includes a frame that is connected with an earth boring machine by a pivot and a double acting hydraulic cylinder that is also pivotally connected with the earth boring machine.
  • the cylinder includes a piston that is pivotally connected with the frame of the earth boring machine so that relatively telescoping movement between the piston and the cylinder pivots the frame about the pivotal connection with the earth boring machine.
  • a pair of spaced sets of pipe gripping members are carried by the frame.
  • a raise drilling system in U. S. Pat. No. 3,460,638 to S. C. Millsapps, Jr., patented Aug. 12, 1969, a raise drilling system is shown that includes a pipe handling apparatus.
  • the pipe handling apparatus includes a pipe load arm connected to the raise drill at its lower end for pivotal movement.

It can be appreciated that the length of the brace 16 determines the angle the support column 13 makes with the horizontal and consequently the drilling angle. it is therefore possible to adjust the support column angle and the drilling angle for various drilling operations by replacing brace 16 with a brace of a different length or by adjusting the length of brace 16.
  • a carriage l7 is mounted for travel along the support column 13.
  • a pair of thrust means 18 and 1% are provided to move the carriage 17 along the support col umn l3.

  • a fixed gripping means 32 is affixed to arm 29 for receiving drill rod 26.
  • a slidable gripping means 33 is slidably positioned relative to said fixed gripping means 32 for cooperating with said fixed gripping means 32 to retain the drill rod 26 when the drill rod 26 is being moved.

  • the drill rod 32 includes a curved surface 34 that contacts at least a portion of one radial quadrant of the outer surface of the drill rod 26.
  • the surface 34 contacts almost two full quadrants of th ⁇ . outer surface 35 of the drill rod 26. However, it is to be un derstood that less surface could be contacted.
  • the slidable gripping means 33 is positioned to slide in a bore 36 that extends through the fixed gripping means 32.
  • the slidable gripping means 33 includes a movable gripping element 3'? with a tapered gripping surface 38.

  • the movable gripping element 37 is connected to a double acting hydraulic thrust cylinder 39.
  • double acting hydraulic thrust cylinder 39 is affixed to the arm 29 and the movable piston 40 of the double acting hydraulic thrust cylinder 39 is connected to the movable gripping element 37.
  • the tapered gripping surface 38 has a taper angle a with the center line of the movable gripping element.
  • the gripping forces are transmitted at an angle 0 to the central axis of the movable gripping element 3?.
  • the tapered gripping surface 38 will, of course, be tangent to the outer surface 35 of the drill rod 26 and the sum of angles a and 9 will be 90.
  • the angle a in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is an angle of l5.
  • a taper angle of less than would create a locking taper and difficulties would be encountered in withdrawing the movable gripping element 37.
  • the movable gripping element 37 would have to move a substantial distance when gripping the drill rod 26. If the taper angle is much greater than 40, the force from the double acting cylinder tends to act directly against the drill rod 26 and push the drill rod 26 against the curved surface of the fixed gripping means 32. It is therefore desirable for the angle a to be within the range of from 75 to 45. in the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in FlGS. l1, 2 and 3, the angle a is approximately 15. With the angle a being IS, the angle 8 is 75.

  • the small diameter pilot bit is removed from the drill column and a large diameter raise bit is attached.
  • the raise bit is then rotated and moved upward to enlarge the pilot hole to the desired size.
  • individual drill rods are added to the drill column as the pilot hole extends further and further into the formations.
  • individual drill rods must be removed from the drill column as the large diameter bit moves closer to the earth boring machine.
  • drill rod chuck 23 When the earth boring machine E0 is being used to drill a small diameter pilot hole, individual drill rod sections such as drill rod 26 must be added to the drill column 22.

The drill rod chuck 23 is disengaged from the first drill rod and the carriage 17 is moved to the upper position as shown in P26. 1. With the carriage 17 in the upper position, a drill rod 26 is moved into line with the drill column 22 and the drill rod chuck 23. The carriage is then moved downward until the drill rod chuck 23 comes into contact with the upper threaded portion of the drill rod 26.

Dyer et al., patented May 27, 1969. It is to be understood that the drilling operation may also be conducted upward into the formations above the earth boring machine it and that the drilling angle of the drilling operation may be inclined.

  • the carriage 17 is moved downward until the drill rod chuck 23 contacts the threads on the upper end of the drill rod 26.
  • the drill rod chuck 23 is then rotated to engage the drill rod 26.
  • the double acting hydraulic cylinder 29 is then actuated to move the slidable gripping means 33 out of engagement with the outer surface 35 of the drill rod 26.
  • the carriage 17 is moved downward until the lower end of the drill rod 26 contacts the first drill rod of the drill column 22.
  • the drill rod chuck 23 is then rotated causing the drill rod 26 to engage the threads on the upper end of the first drill rod of the drill column 22.
  • the earth boring system is then ready to continue the drilling operation.
  • Drill rods may be removed from the drill column by reversing the operation just described. In the event hydraulic pressure is lost, the drill rod 26 will drop straight down instead of being dropped to the side. This provides a substantial safety advantage because personnel working around the earth boring machine will not be in danger of injury from the dropping of a drill rod.
  • the lower end of the drill rod 26 is usually fairly close to the ground and there is little likelihood that an individual will be between the end of the drill rod 26 and the ground; therefore, the likelihood of injury to personnel is minimal.
  • the upper end of the drill rod 26 will be retained by the gripper even though the drill rod is dropped because the slidable gripping means 33 will remain in a sufficiently projected position to prevent the upper end of the drill rod 26 from falling outward.
