Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for optional straight or directional drilling in underground rock formations according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type indicated in the preamble of claim 1, wherein the bending stresses of bending-sensitive areas of the D rehbohrwerkmaschineschws kept and the friction between the borehole wall and stabilizers as well as their wear is reduced.
  • a first solution to this problem is based on a device according to the preamble of claim 1 that the housing above the first stabilizer at least includes a flexible section.
  • a flexible section concentrates and limits the deflection to the flexible section, so that the remaining areas of the housing, including its connection to the drill string, are relieved of bending stresses.
  • the inclusion of bending stresses in a flexible section also reduces the friction between the borehole wall and the stabilizers and thus reduces their wear.
  • a second solution according to the invention based on a device according to the preamble of claim 6, provides that the second stabilizer is inclined on at least one side. attached - has connection to the adjoining tubular body of the housing.
  • the rotary drilling tool maintains a higher rigidity and a concentration of the bending stresses on the obliquely attached connection area, with the result that the other areas are relieved of bending stresses.
  • the device according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 comprises a drilling tool 27 located in a borehole 1, which is clamped in a turntable 28 of a drilling rig 30 by means of a drill string 3 connected to its housing 2.
  • the turntable 28 has a drive and blocking device 29 by means of which the chuck of the turntable 28 and thus the drill string 3 can be set in continuous rotation or aligned by a limited rotary movement and can then be fixed against rotation.
  • the alternatives of the drilling tool 27 shown in FIGS. 2 to 7 have, as common features, a housing 2 consisting of several sections, in which a motor (not shown in more detail) is arranged, which e.g. can be designed as a turbine or as a displacement motor based on the Moineau principle, and its rotor is connected to a rotary drill bit 6 via an output shaft 5 mounted in a lower housing section 4.
  • the housing 2 of the drilling tool 27 carries a first, central stabilizer 7 in the region of its lower housing section 4 and a second, eccentric stabilizer above the first stabilizer 7. 8th.
  • the housing 2 is deflected by the support of the second, eccentric stabilizer 8 on the walls of the borehole 1, the pivot point of the deflection being based on the original borehole axis 9 in the center of gravity of the first, central stabilizer 7 lie and the rotary drill bit 6 is pressed in the opposite direction.
  • the axis of rotation 10 of the output shaft 5 is thus angled relative to the original borehole axis 9.
  • the first, central stabilizer 7 is preferably spherical in order to prevent its ribs from tilting against the borehole wall in the forced inclined position.
  • a third, central stabilizer 11 is indicated above the housing 2, by means of whose size and placement on the drill string the straight drilling properties of the drilling tool 27 in an inclined borehole 1 can be improved.
  • the second stabilizer 8 is arranged in an upper area of the housing 2. It is also possible to add it above the housing 2, but then the inclination of the axis of rotation 10 relative to the original borehole axis 9 becomes very small in relation to the eccentricity of the second stabilizer 8.
  • the deflection of the drill string 3 resulting from the inclination of the housing 2 in the borehole 1 can advantageously be concentrated on a flexible section 12 which is inserted between the second stabilizer 8 and the drill string 3 lying above it Bending stresses, which would otherwise be evenly distributed over the drill string 3 and the housing 2, away from these areas and thus relieves threaded connections and bearings.
  • the second stabilizer 8 is arranged closer to the first stabilizer 7.
  • the lever arm causing the deflection of the axis of rotation 10 is shorter in comparison to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, so that the required eccentricity of the second stabilizer 8 can be made smaller.
  • the arrangement results in a particularly strong bending bend stress on the housing section lying between the first stabilizer 7 and the second stabilizer 8, which is designed to absorb this bending stress as a flexible section 13.
  • the second stabilizer 8 is designed to be exchangeable in order to be able to freely specify the eccentricity required for the maximum desired radius of curvature of the deflection bore.
  • the second stabilizer 8 can also form an integral part with the flexible section 13, which is exchanged together.
  • the drive shaft forming the connection between the motor rotor and the output shaft 5 mounted in the lower housing section 4 is arranged in the flexible section 13 in the alternative according to FIG. 3.
  • the cardan shaft is connected to the motor rotor and / or the output shaft 5 by a plug-in coupling in order to enable easy assembly or disassembly of the drilling tool 27 when the second stabilizer 8 is replaced.
  • FIG. 4 shows a development of the embodiment according to FIG. 3, in which a further flexible section 14 is arranged above the second stabilizer 8 and the housing 2.
  • This section 14 refers to the opposite of the flexible section 13 opposite bending stress, so that similarly to the flexible section 12 in Fig. 2-bending stress ⁇ be spruchungen from the housing 2 and the ohrwerk- above the B kept zeugs 27 lying train 3.
  • the borehole issued the drilling tool 27 while holding the stabilizer 8 and housing 2 has a 10 white in the direction of the axis of rotation - send tolrnickten course.
  • the angled axis of rotation 10 of the output shaft 5 also rotates, so that the resulting movement of the rotary drill bit 6 gives the borehole 1 a course in the direction of the original borehole axis 9.
  • An optional directional drilling or G can e-radeausbohren so in a simple manner be achieved by holding or co-rotation of the second stabilizer 8 by means of the housing 2 and clamped in the rotary table 28 the drill string. 3
  • the output shaft 5 can also be angled. As can be seen in FIG.
  • FIGS. 7 to 11 show exemplary embodiments on the basis of an eccentrically designed, arranged in the upper region of the housing 2 second stabilizer 8.
  • the second stabilizer 8 consists of a carrier body 18 and a rib sleeve 19, which can be fixed on the carrier body 18 by a positive connection. In the alternatives shown in FIGS.
  • the rib sleeve 19 can be aligned in steps relative to the carrier body 18.
  • the positive connection between the parts 18 and 19 is formed in the embodiment in Fig. 7 by a spline and in the Fig. 8 by a spur 21.
  • FIGS. 9 to 11 allow the rib sleeve 19 to be steplessly adjusted relative to the carrier body 18 and to be fixed by a force-locking connection.
  • the fixing is brought about by a shrink fit, which is brought about by hydraulically inflating the rib sleeve 19 provided with seals 22, pushing it onto the carrier body 18 and relieving the pressure of the rib sleeve 19.
  • 10 shows the fixing by means of a longitudinally slotted intermediate sleeve 25, which provides the rib sleeve 19 with a conical thread area and is jammed on the carrier body 18 when it is screwed thereto 19.
  • a fixation by jamming also takes place in the alternative shown in FIG. 11, in which the rib sleeve 19 is slotted along a rib and is clamped by several screws 26 in the manner of a clamp.
  • a first, central stabilizer 7 could also be designed to be alignable in accordance with the alternatives explained above.
  • the second stabilizer 8 can also be designed to be adjustable.
  • such an embodiment is provided with an eccentric intermediate sleeve 23 in addition to the carrier body 18 and the rib sleeve 19.
  • the degree of eccentricity of the stabilizer 8 can thus be between a maximum value and a minimum value in Levels are changed, the possibility of alignment with the carrier body 18 being retained.
  • the parts are fixed by a spur toothing, as described in the embodiment according to FIG. 8.
  • the first, central stabilizer 7 is matched to the dimension of the borehole diameter, while the second, eccentric stabilizer 8 is designed with undersize in order to prevent the housing from bending 2 and the output shaft 5 resulting inclination change tendency.
