Definitions
- the invention relates to a drill pipe coupling with a sleeve-shaped coupling receptacle, a pin-shaped coupling member, which can be inserted axially into the coupling receptacle to form a rotationally fixed connection, and at least one locking bolt, which is directed transversely to the axial coupling direction, and is in a locked coupling position from the coupling receptacle a locking recess extends on the coupling member, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a drill pipe coupling is, for example, from DE 3 642 387 A1 known, in which an actuating ring on the drill pipe slides down due to its weight and secures the locking bolts in their locked position.
- all locking elements are to be held in their locked position via the single actuating ring, so that if the actuating ring is blocked, for example due to contamination or tilting, the locking is no longer secure.
- Another drill pipe coupling is, for example, from the DE 10 2011 109 001 A1 known.
- This drill pipe coupling is often referred to as a so-called Kelly box.
- axial locking is effected by inserting a transversely directed locking bolt into the coupling receptacle and the coupling member, so that a positive connection is achieved.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a drill pipe coupling which is particularly easy to operate.
- the drill pipe coupling according to the invention is characterized in that the locking bolt is mounted on the sleeve-shaped coupling receptacle in a radially adjustable manner between an unlocking position and a locking position by means of a gravity-dependent adjustment mechanism, that the adjustment mechanism has at least one movable actuator, which is between a lower insertion position in which the locking bolt is in the Locking position is pushed, and an upper retraction position is movable, in which the locking bolt is retracted from the locking receptacle into the unlocking position, and that the actuator is held by gravity in the lower insertion position.
- a basic idea of the invention can be seen in providing an at least semi-automatic drill pipe coupling, in which the locking bolt on the outer coupling receptacle can be adjusted between an unlocking position and a locking position by a gravity-dependent adjustment mechanism.
- the adjustment mechanism has at least one movable actuator, which is pulled downwards by gravity, the locking bolt being pushed into an insertion position and held therein by the adjustment mechanism.
- At least one external actuator To unlock it is therefore only necessary for at least one external actuator to be moved against gravity into an upper retraction position, with the locking bolt being retracted from the locking position into the unlocking position by the adjustment mechanism. To lock again, all you have to do is remove the holding force that holds the at least one actuator in the upper retraction position. If this holding force is no longer present, the actuator is moved back into the lower insertion position, with the locking bolt being pushed again into the unlocking position.
- a drill pipe with the coupling receptacle or the coupling member can be easily coupled axially with an associated coupling member or a coupling receptacle of another drill pipe element, the locking bolt with the actuator being briefly displaced against the force of gravity by the axial insertion force until the locking bolt is pushed through the Gravity-dependent adjustment mechanism is pushed back into the locking position in order to lock the two drill pipe elements.
- the coupling member and the locking bolt can be beveled at their free end.
- a desired actuating force on the at least one actuator is achieved in that a load weight is arranged on the at least one actuator.
- the load weight is detachably attached to the actuator.
- a particularly reliable connection is achieved in that several locking bolts are provided, which are arranged, preferably evenly, distributed over the circumference of the sleeve-shaped coupling receptacle.
- two to four locking bolts can be arranged distributed around the circumference of the coupling receptacle.
- the locking recess can be designed as a blind hole or a through hole in the coupling member.
- the locking recess is designed as an annular groove which extends along the circumference of the pin-shaped coupling member.
- a cross-sectional contour of the groove corresponds to part of the outer circumferential contour of the locking bolt.
- the groove has a semicircular cross section.
- an unlocking device is arranged on the adjustment mechanism, with which the at least one actuator can be moved into the upper retraction position.
- the unlocking device can be energy-operated.
- an unlocking device can be provided on a drill drive, for example, on which an energy supply is basically already provided.
- the unlocking device can be operated electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically.
- the unlocking device can be actuated with an actuating rod.
- the unlocking device can be a simple hook element or another receptacle for such a mechanical actuation or a simple handle.
- the unlocking device has a ring member to which one or more actuators are articulated.
- the ring member can surround the coupling receptacle in a ring, so that, for example when actuated with an actuating rod, the unlocking device can be actuated from any circumferential position.
- the coupling receptacle and the coupling member have a polygonal cross-sectional shape, in particular a square cross-section.
- a triangular or other polygonal cross-section is also possible, which enables torque transmission between the coupling receptacle and the coupling member.
- the corresponding plug-in areas of the coupling receptacle and coupling member are designed as a clearance fit.
- the invention further comprises a drill pipe arrangement with the drill pipe coupling described above. It is preferred that the drill pipe coupling is arranged between two drill pipe elements.
- the drill pipe elements can be purely cylindrical on their outside with a conveyor spiral, stirring elements or without any elements.
- a drill pipe arrangement with such a drill pipe coupling is provided, the drill pipe coupling being provided between a drill pipe element and a drilling tool or a drilling drive is.
- the pin-shaped coupling member is preferably arranged at the top, while the sleeve-shaped coupling receptacle is arranged at the bottom relative to the associated coupling member.
- a drilling auger, a box drill, a displacement drill or another drilling tool that is driven in rotation can be provided as the drilling tool.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that the coupling receptacle and/or the coupling member are detachably attached to a drill rod element, a drilling tool or a drilling drive.
- the coupling receptacle and/or the coupling member can thus be designed as a type of adapter between the drill pipe coupling according to the invention and conventional coupling elements, such as a Kelly box or a Kelly plug member. This also enables existing elements to be easily retrofitted.
- a drill pipe coupling 10 has a pin-shaped coupling member 20, which is attached to a drill pipe element 2, which is only partially shown.
- the coupling member 20 can in principle be firmly welded to the drill pipe element 2 or even formed in one piece thereon.
- a retrofitting option is shown, wherein the drill pipe element 2 has a connecting section 3.
- the connecting section 3 can be a conventional Kelly connection with a square area.
- the pin-shaped coupling member 20 has a cylindrical front section 22 and a sleeve-shaped rear section 26.
- the connecting section 3 of the drill pipe element 2 can be inserted in a fitting and non-rotatable manner into the sleeve-shaped rear section 26 of the coupling member 20 and axially fixed therein by transversely directed bolts.
- An annular groove 25 is introduced as a locking recess 24 along the outer circumference of the peg-shaped front section 22 of the coupling member 20.
- the groove 25 has an approximately semicircular shape in cross section.
- a tapering head 23 with a diameter that decreases downwards is formed at the free end of the front section 22.
- the sleeve-shaped coupling receptacle 30 is attached to a drilling tool 7 in the embodiment shown.
- the drilling tool 7 has a schematically shown base body 8, on the top of which a sleeve-shaped connection region 9 is attached centrally to a longitudinal axis.
- the drilling tool 7 can, for example, be a drilling bucket with a corresponding removal device for removing soil material.
- the sleeve-shaped coupling receptacle 30 can also be firmly attached to the drilling tool 7, for example by welding.
- the coupling receptacle 30 has a peripheral sleeve 32 with a central stepped receiving hole 33, which preferably has a square cross section corresponding to an outer contour of the pin-shaped coupling member 20.
- An underside of the circumferential sleeve 32 is closed with a plate-shaped base 34, on the underside of which a peg-shaped connecting element 36 protrudes downwards.
- the connecting element 36 is preferably designed in the same way as the connecting section 3 on the drill pipe element 2, so that the coupling receptacle 30 can also be easily used as a retrofit part for existing Kelly connections.
- the peg-shaped connecting element 36 which is preferably designed as a square, can be inserted axially into the sleeve-shaped connecting region 9 on the drilling tool 7. Here it can be axially fixed by appropriate transverse bolts, so that a rotationally fixed and axially secured connection is formed between the drilling tool 7 and the coupling receptacle 30.
- An adjusting mechanism 40 is arranged on the coupling receptacle 30, which in the exemplary embodiment shown has two lever-like actuators 42, each of which is pivotally mounted via a pivot axis 43 on a passage on the peripheral sleeve 32 of the coupling receptacle 30.
- a locking bolt 50 is formed in one piece with the lever-shaped actuator 42 at a free end which projects inwards into the receiving hole 33.
- a load weight 44 at the outer end of each actuator 42 presses it downward into an insertion position, in which the locking bolt 50 is pressed or pushed radially inwards into the receiving hole 33 into a locking position.
- a recess 62 of an unlocking device 60 is formed on each of the load weights 44.
- An actuating rod can be inserted into the recess 62, with which the load weight 44 and thus the actuator 42 can be moved upwards into a retraction position.
- the locking bolt 50 is pushed radially outwards into an unlocking position in which the locking bolt 50 no longer engages in a locking recess 24 of an axially inserted coupling member 20. In this unlocking position, a coupling member 20 can be pulled out of the coupling receptacle 30 again.
- Fig. 2 is again shown schematically how a coupling member 20 attached to the drill pipe element 2 can be inserted axially into the sleeve-shaped coupling receptacle 30 on the drilling tool 7 in the direction of the arrow shown.
- the two locking bolts 50 can be pushed back radially outwards into their unlocking position from the locking position shown against the gravitational effect of the adjustment mechanism 40 when a predetermined axial force is applied.
- the locking bolts 50 can be moved back radially inwards into their locking position by the gravitational effect of the adjusting mechanism 40, the locking bolts 50 extending into the locking recess 24 on the coupling member 20.
- the coupling member 20 is now axially secured in the sleeve-shaped coupling receptacle 30.
- FIG. 3 An alternative embodiment of the adjustment mechanism 40 is shown schematically in Fig. 3 shown.
- the locking bolt 50 is mounted in a radially directed manner in a suitable passage 35 in the wall of the sleeve-shaped coupling receptacle 30. In the locking position shown, the coupling bolt 50 projects inwards into the receiving hole 33.
- the locking bolt 50 At the radially outer end of the locking bolt 50, it is connected to a connecting pin 52 with a Z-shaped, lever-like actuator 42.
- the actuator 42 is mounted on the coupling receptacle 30 so that it can pivot about a pivot axis 43. Furthermore, the actuator 42 is provided with a slot-like elongated hole 46 into which the connecting pin 52 of the locking bolt 50 projects.
- the actuator 42 Due to the own weight of the actuator 42, it is pushed downwards into the in Fig. 3 Position shown pressed, with the locking bolt 50 being pushed radially inwards into the receiving hole 33 via the connecting pin 52.
- the actuator 42 By means of a handle-like unlocking device 60 at the free end of the actuator 42, the actuator 42 can be pivoted upwards about the pivot axis 43.
- the locking bolt 50 is moved radially outwards into its unlocking position.
- the upward force on the actuator 42 is eliminated, it can move back down again due to its own weight, with the locking bolt 50 being pushed back into the locking position.
- the adjustment mechanism 40 can in principle be designed in any other suitable manner, with a vertical orientation of the drill pipe coupling 10 exerting a sufficient weight force, through which the locking bolt 50 is pushed radially inwards into a locking position and held there.
