  • US 3384191 A shows a drill head with roller bits, which also has a suction system for removing the loosened soil.
  • a guide plate is provided that is arranged in the area of the opening of the suction and collects the loosened soil as the drill head rotates and feeds it to the opening. Behind the opening there is an inclined channel which opens into a centrally arranged discharge line.
  • US 4195700 A also discloses a drill head with roller bits which has a radial opening at the inner end of which a discharge line is provided.
  • the opening is designed as a slot, behind which a conical tube is provided that widens towards the discharge line.
  • US 4200160 A discloses a drill head with a suction for removing the loosened soil.
  • the suction provides a slot-shaped radial opening that opens into a cylindrical space. A channel emerges from this and leads into the sewage pipe.
  • the object of the invention is to simplify the suction in the aforementioned drill heads and at the same time to improve their performance.
  • the task with regard to the drill head is solved in that the distance of the opening area to the face is adjustable. It is advantageous that the distance is adjusted by moving the suction box vertically and/or by pivoting the suction box about a pivot point, with a drive, preferably a hydraulic cylinder or a spring mechanism, being provided for the movement or pivoting.

  • a further teaching of the invention provides that at least one deflection area is provided behind the opening, preferably before entering the suction box, in which the flow direction of the loosened soil can be diverted. This makes it particularly easy for the material to be conveyed to be conveyed to the conveyor and then conveyed away.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides that at least one tool for loosening the soil, preferably in the form of a toothed strip, and/or for picking up loosened soil is provided in the opening area.

  • a cleaning tool preferably at least one movable element and/or at least one nozzle for dispensing a medium, for example a gas (air) or a liquid (water, bentonite rinse). This means that closures in the opening area can either be eliminated or prevented.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides that at least one flushing nozzle is provided, with which soil loosened by at least one drilling tool can be transported into an area on the working face, which is passed over by the suction box when drilling with the drill head. This easily improves the material transport to the suction box.

  • a further teaching of the invention provides that the suction box is arranged essentially horizontally. This has a positive effect on material transport in the suction box and material absorption.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides that the opening area extends essentially radially outwards as viewed from the center. It is advantageous that the opening is elongated or slot-like. A further teaching of the invention provides that the clear cross section of the opening changes along the opening area viewed radially outwards, preferably enlarged. This allows the material intake, the location of the material intake and the intake quantity to be easily influenced.
  • connection opening of the suction box is arranged offset in relation to the opening area relative to a median perpendicular of the opening area, preferably towards the outside.
  • the suction box is constructed asymmetrically.
  • the suction strength or the flow profile in the suction box or in the opening area can be easily influenced, so that the amount of material sucked in can be influenced. For example, by moving it outwards, the flow in the radially outer area of the suction box can be increased in order to be able to better suction off the larger amount of material that occurs there.
  • connection opening of the suction box is arranged pivoted in relation to the opening area relative to a median perpendicular of the opening area.
  • the suction strength or the flow profile in the suction box or in the opening area can be easily influenced, so that the amount of material sucked in can be influenced. For example, by tilting the connection opening inwards, the flow in the radially outer area of the suction box can be increased in order to be able to better suction off the larger amount of material that occurs there.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides that the suction box has at least one nozzle in the interior. This makes it possible to easily improve the movement of the loosened soil/rock for capture by the conveying medium.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides that the conveying medium and/or the transport medium is a liquid or gaseous medium, preferably water, a bentonite suspension or air.
  • the conveying medium is air and the transport medium is air or a liquid, preferably water. This is used if the drill head is not/should/cannot be flooded and liquid-based production is therefore not possible. It has surprisingly been shown that the dissolved soil/the dissolved rock can be easily transported/activated by the emitted jet and can advantageously be fed into the conveying stream of air and removed.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides that the at least one element is at least one driven rotating element with at least one impact element arranged thereon, the at least one impact element causing the acceleration of the loosened soil via a contact through a rotational movement.

  • a further teaching of the invention provides that the detection takes place in the suction box and/or in the opening area, preferably in front of the opening.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides that the acceleration takes place by emitting a jet of a transport medium from a nozzle which is directed into the opening area of the suction box as part of the discharge device.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides that the loosened soil is moved through the transport medium.
