Definitions

  • the two adaptors When, as described above, it is desired to advance the inner drill string only, the two adaptors must be uncoupled and the shank adaptor lifted to permit further rods to be added to the rod assembly. In order to uncouple the adaptors it is necessary to perform an unscrewing operation, and this is time consuming. Also, since the flushing head is secured directly to the rotatively and percussively driven shank adaptor, the bearing arrangement of the flushing head is subject'to a high degree of wear. Further disadvantages of the arrangement are that the shank adaptor is relatively expensive to produce because of the need to provide it with three channels instead of the customary single central channel, and the provision of channels near the outer portion of the shank adaptor may tend to weaken the same.
  • a preferred embodiment of the present invention may overcome or reduce all or some ofithe above mentioned disadvantages.
  • an adaptor assembly for drilling apparatus comprising a first adaptor which isto be connected to an inner drill string and a second adaptor which is to be connected to an outer drill string, the adaptors being constructed so that the second adaptor can receive the first adaptor in a bore in the second adaptor in such a way that the adaptors are coupled for simultaneous rotation but are axially slidable relative to one another.
  • the bearing arrangement of a flushing head secured around the apertured region of the second adaptor may not be subjected to the same degree of wear as in the case of the above described prior art.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view through the upper portion of drilling apparatus having inner and outer drill strings, the view showing one embodiment of a combination of shank adaptor and casing adaptor according to the invention, a flushing head being secured in position around the casing whereby a flushing medium may be forced from the flushing head through apertures in the casing adaptor and down between inner and outer drill strings,
  • FIG. 2 is a horizontal view from above, mainly in section, taken on the line 22 of FIG. 1, the view showing a seal substituted for the flushing head illustrated in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic vertical sectional view on a reduced scale showing both inner and outer drill strings secured to the adaptors of FIG. 1, the view illustrating one manner in which the apparatus may be utilized,
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3, and showing a second manner in which apparatus according to the invention may be utilized, and
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIGS. 3 and 4 and showing a third manner in which drilling apparatus according to the invention may be utilized.
  • FIG. 1 shows a shank adaptor 1 which is to be driven rotatively and percussively by a power source which is not illustrated.
  • the shank adaptor 1 is a sliding fit within the upper portion of a sleeve-like casing adaptor 2, and a seal is provided between the adaptors by means of a pair of ring-like seals 3 received in corresponding peripheral grooves in the shank adaptor.
  • the shank adaptor 1 and the corresponding bore in the casing adaptor in which the shank adaptor fits are of the same cross-section, being mainly circular but havine one or more flat surfaces so that the adaptors are not rotatable relative to one another and the shank adaptor may thus drive the casing adaptor in rotation.
  • the shank adaptor 1 has a central bore 4 for the passage of a flushing medium, usually air, down through the inner drill string 5 (see FIGS. 3 to 5) the bore having an enlarged diameter lower portion which is screw threaded to receive the upper hollow rod of the inner drill string.
  • the lower portion 2a of the casing adaptor is internally screw threaded to receive the uppermost casing section of the outer drill string 14, and the central region of the casing adaptor is provided with a pair of diametrically opposed flushing apertures 6 whereby a flushing medium, usually water, may be supplied through the apertures 6 and down between the inner and outer drill strings as illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • a detachable sleevelike flushing head 7 Surrounding the central region of the casing adaptor 2, in the views of FIGS. 1 and 4, is a detachable sleevelike flushing head 7 which is rotatably journalled on upper and lower bearing rings 8 and 9, the weight of the flushing head being carried on the lower bearing 9 which rests on a peripheral shoulder 10 of the casing adaptor.
  • the flushing head 7 may thus be lifted from the casing adaptor when not required without the need to unscrew any couplings.
  • a conventional arrangement of scrapers and seals is provided between the flushing head and casing adaptor both above and below the flushing apertures 6, whereby to prevent leakage of water from an annular chamber 11 of the flushing head which surrounds the apertured region of the casing adaptor. Flushing water is supplied to the chamber 11 by way of an inlet 12 of the flushing head 7.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the manner in which drilling is conducted when the detachable flushing head is in use as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the shank adaptor l is driven rotatively and percussively, and thus a drill bit 13 of the inner string is also driven rotatively and percussively.
  • Rotation is transmitted to the outer string 14 and thus to a drill bit 15 of such outer string by means of the cooperating adaptors as described above and percussion is transmitted to the bit 15 by means of co-operating frusto-conical shoulders generally indicated at 16 on the two bits.
  • Flushing water supplibd to the chamber 11 through the inlet 12 passes in the direction of the dotted arrows around the annular chamber 11, through the apertures 6, down between the inner and outer strings, and out into the material, for example earth, which is being drilled. It will be appreciated that the seals 3 between the two adaptors prevent water from escaping from the space between the adaptors.
  • the unbroken arrows in FIG. 4 illustrates the path of flushing air down the inner string and out into the material being drilled in conventional manner.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a mode of drilling in which the flushing head 7 has been removed.
  • the flushing head 7 may be removed simply by sliding the same upwardly to remove it from its location around the casing adaptor, and thereafter the head may be removed from its position around the shank adaptor either by temporarily uncoupling such adaptor from the power source or by lifting the shank adaptor and temporarily uncoupling the adaptor from the uppermost rod of the inner string.
  • flushing head With the flushing head removed, flushing air passes down the inner string and upwardly between the inner and outer strings to emerge through the apertures 6 as indicated by the arrows shown in unbroken lines.
  • the seals 3 are not essential to the working of the apparatus.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a seal 17 substituted for the flushing head.
  • the seal is in the form of a sleeve split longitudinally from top to bottom to provide a gap 18.
  • suitable lugs 19 and 20 are secured to the sleeve, and these two lugs may be pulled together or allowed to move apart upon rotation of a suitable bolt 21.
  • the seal is provided with apertures 22 which in FIG. 2 are shown out of registry with the apertures 6 in the casing adaptor whereby such apertures 6 are sealed.
  • the bolt 21 may be slackened to allow the seal to be rotated to a position in which the apertures 22 are in registry with the apertures 6 of the casing adaptor, and in these circumstances drilling proceeds exactly as shown in FIG. 3 since the seal has no effect.
  • the seal therefore is of particular use when it is desired to alternate between the type of flushing illustrated in FIG. 3, and the type of flushing in which the apertures 6 are closed and air passes directly from inner string into the material being drilled.
  • FIG. 5 shows drilling in progress with the casing adaptor 2 removed. However, it is not necessary to remove the casing adaptor 2 sine it does not impede to any great extent the operation of the drilling apparatus in the manner illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • the shank adaptor 1 may merely be lifted from within the casing adaptor without the need to unscrew any couplings.
  • the flushing head is to some extent protected from percussive vibration because vibration is transmitted to the flushing head via the relatively long path of the complete length of inner and outer strings.
  • the shank adaptor need not be provided with axial channels for the passage of water and such shank adaptor is thus relatively cheap to produce and comparatively strong.
  • the upper portion of the casing adaptor may be provided with four apertures arranged in two pairs, each pair serving to receive one prong of a two prong fork-member (not shown) which may be passed through the apertures. Two apertures, one from each pair, are shown at 24 in FIG. 1.
  • the spacing between the pairs of apertures and thus the spacing between the two fork prongs will be slightly greater than the diameter of the upper portion la of the shank adaptor (see FIG. 11) so that the fork may be slid into position above a frusto-conical shoulder lb of the shank adaptor and with its prongs positioned one on either side of the upper portion la of the shank adaptor.
  • An adaptor assembly for use with drilling apparatus, the drilling apparatus including an outer drill string with an outer drill bit fixed at the drilling end thereof, an inner drill string disposed within said outer drill string and having an inner drill bit fixed at the drilling end thereof, and surface means for transmitting percussive forces from said inner drill bit to said outer drill bit, said adaptor assembly comprising:
  • a first adaptor having means for connecting one end thereof with said inner drill string and means for connecting another end thereof with rotary and percussive drive mechanism
  • a second adaptor having means for connecting one end thereof with said outer drill string and means at the other end thereof for slidably receiving and locating said first adaptor in rotary driving engagement exclusive of percussive drive engagement, such that percussive drive may be transmitted from the first adaptor to the outer drill bit by way of said surface means, independently of the second adaptor.
  • an adaptor assembly according to claim 1 wherein the means of said second adaptor for receiving said first adaptor comprises a bore; said bore and said first adaptor having non-circular cross-sections, with said first adaptor being receivable in the bore with a close sliding fit.
  • Drilling apparatus comprising:
  • a second adaptor connected to a connecting end of said outer drill string; said second adaptor including means for slidably receiving and locating said first adaptor to couple said first and second adaptors for rotary drive exclusive of percussive drive; and force transmitting surface means located remotely from said second adaptor for transmitting percussive energy from said first adaptor to said outer drill bit.
