Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Bohrspitze für einen Erdbohrer mit einer Schneidwendel laut dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a drill bit for an earth drill with a cutting helix according to the preamble of claim 1.

Solche Bohrspitzen sind bekannt und werden in einer Vielzahl von Ausgestaltungen bei Erdbohrern eingesetzt.Such drill bits are known and used in a variety of designs for earth augers.

In diesem Zusammenhang spricht man von "verlorenen Bohrspitzen", wenn die Bohrspitze nach dem Einbringen der Bohrung in dem Bohrloch verbleibt. Für solche Anwendungen ist es zweckmäßig und erwünscht, die Bohrspitze möglichst kostengünstig zu fertigen.In this context, it is referred to as "lost drill bits" if the drill bit remains in the well after insertion of the bore. For such applications, it is expedient and desirable to manufacture the drill bit as inexpensively as possible.

In der US-B-6,502,849 ist ein Schneckenbohrer zum Bohren von Löchern in eine Eisfläche von Gewässern beschrieben. Der Schneckenbohrer weist einen Schaft mit einer scharfkantigen Positionierspitze am Ende, mit einem umgebenen schraubenförmigen Gewindegang und darunter mehrere spiralförmige, schöpfkellenähnliche Glieder mit lösbar befestigten, gezackten Schneidklingen auf. Die bodenförmigen Außenkanten der Schneidklingen verlaufen radial etwas über die Außenkanten der schöpfkellenähnlichen Glieder hinaus, an denen sie befestigt sind, so dass der gebohrte Lochdurchmesser etwas größer ist als der Durchmesser des Gewindeganges der Schnecke. Die schöpfkellenähnlichen Klingenträger stehen in Verbindung mit dem gewundenen Raum zwischen den Schneckenklingen, so dass Eisbruchstücke an die Eisoberfläche transportiert werden.In US-B-6,502,849 a auger for drilling holes in an ice surface of waters is described. The auger has a shank with a sharp-edged positioning tip at the end, with a surrounding helical thread, and beneath it several helical, ladle-like links with releasably attached serrated cutting blades. The bottomed outer edges of the cutting blades extend radially slightly beyond the outer edges of the ladle-like members to which they are attached, such that the drilled hole diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the flight of the screw. The ladle-like blade carriers are associated with the tortuous Space between the snail blades, so that ice fragments are transported to the ice surface.

Die US-A-3,786,876 offenbart einen beim Fischen im Winter verwendeten Eis-Schneckenbohrer. An einem Schaft ist seitlich eine Eis hebende und den Schneckenbohrer führende Spirale fest verbunden. Am Ende des Schaftes ist ein quer zum Schaft verlaufendes Befestigungsstück fest angebracht, das einen ähnlichen Durchmesser wie die Spirale aufweist. An das Befestigungsstück sind zwei angepasste Verbindungsstücke angeschraubt, an deren ebenen, schräg zum Schaft positionierten Flächen zwei gleiche halbkreisförmige Schneidstücke mit schrägen, spiralförmigen Flächen und mit Eis schneidenden Kanten fest angebracht sind.US-A-3,786,876 discloses an ice auger used in winter fishing. On a shaft is laterally an ice lifting and the worm drill leading spiral firmly connected. At the end of the shaft a transversely extending to the shaft attachment piece is fixedly mounted, which has a similar diameter as the spiral. Two matching connecting pieces are screwed to the attachment piece, on the plane of which, obliquely positioned to the shaft, two identical semicircular cutting pieces with oblique, spiral-shaped surfaces and edges cutting with ice are firmly attached.

A u f g a b e der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Bohrspitze anzugeben, die bei guter Bohrwirkung einfach aufgebaut ist.It is an object of the present invention to provide a drill bit that is simple in construction with good drilling action.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Bohrspitze mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Bohrspitze sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the drill bit having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the drill bit according to the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Als ein Kerngedanke der vorliegenden Erfindung kann angesehen werden, bei einer Bohrspitze für einen Erdbohrer die Schneidwendel im Wesentlichen aus zwei zueinander schräg stehenden Schneidwendelplatten zu bilden, welche bevorzugt eine Dreieckform aufweisen. Unter einer Dreiecksform wird hier prinzipiell jede zahnartige Form mit einer nach außen weisenden Spitze verstanden.As a core idea of the present invention, in the case of a drill bit for an auger, the cutting helix may essentially be formed from two mutually inclined cutting helix plates, which preferably have a triangular shape exhibit. In principle, a triangular shape here means any tooth-like shape with an outwardly pointing tip.

Überraschend wurde erkannt, dass mit der erfindungsgemäßen Bohrspitze bei besonders einfachem Aufbau sehr gute Bohrwirkungen erreicht werden können.Surprisingly, it was recognized that very good drilling effects can be achieved with the drill bit according to the invention with a particularly simple structure.

Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil kann darin gesehen werden, dass die erfindungsgemäße Bohrspitze mit einem Minimum an Material- und Fertigungsaufwand und somit besonders kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Bohrspitze eignet sich deshalb besonders gut für Anwendungen als "verlorene Bohrspitze", wo sie nach Einbringen der Bohrung im Bohrloch verbleibt. ,Another significant advantage can be seen in the fact that the drill bit according to the invention can be produced with a minimum of material and production costs and thus particularly cost-effective. The drill bit according to the invention is therefore particularly well suited for applications as a "lost drill tip", where it remains in the well after insertion of the hole. .

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Bohrspitze sind die Schneidwendelplatten an einer Mittenplatte befestigt. Diese Variante ist konstruktiv sehr einfach und damit kostengünstig realisierbar. Die Mittenplatte und die Schneidwendelplatten werden bevorzugt aus Stahlplatten gefertigt, insbesondere geschnitten, und miteinander verschweißt.In a preferred embodiment of the drill bit according to the invention, the cutting helical plates are attached to a center plate. This variant is structurally very simple and thus inexpensive to implement. The center plate and the cutting helical plates are preferably made of steel plates, in particular cut, and welded together.

Die Stabilität des Aufbaus insgesamt kann weiter erhöht werden, wenn die Mittenplatte mit einer Profilierung versehen ist. Eine besonders einfache Variante besteht in diesem Zusammenhang darin, die Mittenplatte mit Abkantungen als Profilierung zu versehen. Beispielsweise kann eine im Wesentlichen rechteckige Stahlplatte als Mittenplatte verwendet werden, in die als Profilierung mittig zwei Abkantungen quer zur Längsseite eingearbeitet sind.The stability of the structure as a whole can be further increased if the center plate is provided with a profiling. A particularly simple variant in this context is to provide the center plate with bends as profiling. For example, a substantially rectangular steel plate can be used as a center plate, in which two bends are incorporated transversely to the longitudinal side as profiling in the middle.

Die Bohrwirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Bohrspitze kann verbessert werden, wenn die Mittenplatte eine axial vorstehende Spitze aufweist. Außerdem wird durch eine solche Spitze eine Zentrierwirkung erzielt. Beispielsweise kann diese Spitze zwischen zwei Abkantungen der Mittenplatte vorgesehen sein.The drilling action of the drill bit according to the invention can be improved if the center plate has an axially projecting tip. In addition, a centering effect is achieved by such a tip. For example, this tip can be provided between two bends of the center plate.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Bohrspitze ist zum Anbringen an einem Bohrrohr ein Rohrgrundkörper vorgesehen. Hierbei kann es sich beispielsweise um ein kurzes Rohrstück aus Stahl handeln, das mit dem Bohrrohr drehfest verbunden werden kann. Durch den Rohrgrundkörper wird die Stabilität des Aufbaus erhöht und es sind hierdurch längere Standzeiten erreichbar.In the drill bit according to the invention, a pipe main body is provided for attachment to a drill pipe. This may be, for example, a short piece of pipe made of steel, which can be rotatably connected to the drill pipe. Through the tube body, the stability of the structure is increased and thereby longer life can be achieved.

An dem Rohrgrundkörper kann eine Dichtung, insbesondere in einer dafür vorgesehenen Ringnut, zum Abdichten gegenüber dem Bohrrohr vorgesehen sein. Der Rohrgrundkörper kann in das Bohrrohr eingeschoben oder über das Bohrrohr geschoben werden.On the pipe base body, a seal, in particular in a designated annular groove, be provided for sealing against the drill pipe. The tube body can be inserted into the drill pipe or pushed over the drill pipe.

Prinzipiell können die Schneidwendelplattendirekt an dem Rohrgrundkörper befestigt sein. Auch Ausgestaltungen mit mehr als zwei zueinander verkippt angeordneten Schneidwendelplatten sind möglich. Die Mittenplatte ist drehfest an dem Rohrgrundkörper angeordnet. Zur fixierenden Aufnahme der Mittenplatte ist der Rohrgrundkörper dann bevorzugt mit seitlichen Schlitzen versehen.In principle, the cutting helical plate can be directly attached to the pipe main body. Also embodiments with more than two mutually tilted arranged Schneidwendelplatten are possible. The center plate is rotatably mounted on the pipe body. For fixing the center plate of the tube body is then preferably provided with lateral slots.

Ein noch robusterer Aufbau wird erreicht, wenn eine Stirnseite des Rohrgrundkörpers zum Abstützen der Schneidwendelplatten mit wendelartigen Anschlagbereichen ausgebildet ist. Da das Rohrstück des Rohrgrundkörpers sehr hohe Kräfte und Drehmomente aufnehmen kann, sind bei dieser Ausführungsform besonders hohe Standzeiten und Belastungen möglich.An even more robust construction is achieved if an end face of the pipe base body is designed to support the cutting helical plates with helical abutment regions. Since the pipe section of the pipe main body can absorb very high forces and torques, particularly long service lives and loads are possible in this embodiment.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Variante sind je zwei Schneidwendelplatten aus einer im Wesentlichen quadratischen Platte hergestellt. Die erfindungsgemäße Bohrspitze lässt sich dann mit einem Minimum an Materialaufwand praktisch ohne Materialverlust und somit insgesamt sehr kostengünstig fertigen.In a particularly preferred variant, two cutting helical plates are each made from a substantially square plate. The drill bit according to the invention can then be manufactured with a minimum of material expenditure practically without loss of material and thus overall very cost-effectively.

Besonders gute Bohreigenschaften werden erreicht, wenn die Schneidwendelplatten zueinander in einem Winkel von 10° bis 30°, bevorzugt von 15° bis 25°, angeordnet sind.Particularly good drilling properties are achieved when the cutting spiral plates are arranged at an angle of 10 ° to 30 ° to each other, preferably from 15 ° to 25 °.

Im Hinblick auf die Bohrwirkung ist darüber hinaus vorteilhaft, wenn der Außendurchmesser der durch die Schneidwendelplatten gebildeten Schneidwendel etwa das 2,5- bis 3,5-fache, bevorzugt das 2,8- bis 3,2-fache, des Außendurchmessers des Rohrgrundkörpers beträgt.With regard to the drilling effect is also advantageous if the outer diameter of the cutting helix formed by the cutting helical plates is about 2.5 to 3.5 times, preferably 2.8 to 3.2 times, the outer diameter of the tube body ,

Eine weitere Verbesserung der Bohrwirkung kann schließlich erzielt werden, wenn die in Schneidrichtung zeigenden Ränder der Schneidwendelplatten mit einer Schneide oder zumindest einer scharfen Kante versehen sind.A further improvement of the drilling action can finally be achieved if the cutting edges of the cutting helical plates are provided with a cutting edge or at least a sharp edge.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Bohrspitze werden nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten schematischen Zeichnungen beschrieben.Further features and advantages of the drill bit according to the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein erstes besonders einfach aufgebautes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Bohrspitze 10. Auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten einer Mittenplatte 16 sind dabei zwei Schneidwendelplatten 14 zueinander verkippt verschweißt. Die Mittenplatte 16 und die Schneidwendelplatten 14 sind aus Stahlplatten gefertigt. Zur Verbesserung der Bohrwirkung und zum Zentrieren der Bohrspitze 10 während des Bohrens ist die Mittenplatte 16 mit einer Spitze 20 versehen. Erfindungsgemäß weisen die Schneidwendelplatten 14 etwa eine Dreiecksform auf.1 shows a first embodiment of a drill bit 10 according to the invention which is of particularly simple construction. On two opposite sides of a center plate 16, two cutting spiral plates 14 are welded to one another in a tilted manner. The center plate 16 and the cutting helical plates 14 are made of steel plates. To improve the drilling action and to center the drill bit 10 during drilling, the center plate 16 is provided with a tip 20. According to the invention, the cutting helical plates 14 have approximately a triangular shape.

Besonders bevorzugt ist in diesem Zusammenhang die Form von gleichseitigen rechtwinkligen Dreiecken, da dann zur Herstellung der beiden Schneidwendelplatten 14 lediglich eine quadratische Platte entlang einer Diagonalen geteilt werden muss. Die Mittenplatte 16 kann durch geeignete Schlitze, die in einer Aufnahme an dem Bohrrohr ausgebildet sind, drehfest an dem Bohrrohr gehalten werden. An der Rückseite der Mittenplatte 16 ist ein Rohrgrundkörper 24 mit Verschlussplatte 25 angeschweißt. Der Rohrgrundkörper 24 dient zum dichten Abschluss des Bohrrohres. Hierzu kann an seiner Außenseite beispielsweise ein Dichtring angebracht werden. Die in der Mittenplatte 16 angeordneten Löcher 27 dienen zur Aufnahme von Mitnehmerzapfen des Bohrrohres zur Drehmomentübertragung. Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel ist mit minimalem Material- und Fertigungsaufwand herzustellen und eignet sich deshalb besonders gut für Einsätze als "verlorene Bohrspitze".Particularly preferred in this context is the shape of equilateral right triangles, since then only one square plate must be divided along a diagonal to produce the two cutting helical plates 14. The center plate 16 can be held by suitable slots, which are formed in a receptacle on the drill pipe, rotationally fixed to the drill pipe. At the back of the center plate 16, a tube body 24 is welded to the closure plate 25. The pipe base body 24 serves for the tight completion of the drill pipe. For this purpose, for example, a sealing ring can be attached to its outside. The arranged in the center plate 16 holes 27 are used to receive drive pin of the drill pipe for torque transmission. The embodiment shown in Fig. 1 is to produce with minimal material and manufacturing costs and is therefore particularly well suited for use as a "lost drill bit".

Ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Bohrspitze wird im Zusammenhang mit den Fig. 2 bis 3 beschrieben. Äquivalente Komponenten sind dabei mit denselben Bezugszeichen wie in Fig. 1 gekennzeichnet.A second embodiment of a drill bit according to the invention will be described in connection with FIGS. 2 to 3. Equivalent components are identified by the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht der erfindungsgemäßen Bohrspitze 10. Wie bei dem im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 beschriebenen Beispiel wird dabei eine Schneidwendel durch zwei Schneidwendelplatten 14 gebildet, die auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten einer Mittenplatte 16 verschweißt sind. Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, schließen die beiden Schneidwendelplatten 14 einen Winkel 30 ein, der bevorzugt etwa 20° beträgt.FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the drill bit 10 according to the invention. As in the example described with reference to FIG. 1, a cutting helix is formed by two cutting helix plates 14 which are welded on opposite sides of a center plate 16. As 2, the two cutting helical plates 14 form an angle 30, which is preferably about 20 °.

Der wesentliche Unterschied zu dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Beispiel besteht darin, dass bei der in den Fig. 2 bis 4 dargestellten Variante zur Stabilisierung der Bohrspitze 10 ein Rohrgrundkörper 24 vorgesehen ist. Der Rohrgrundkörper 24 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem kurzen Stahlrohrstück. Der Außendurchmesser 32 der durch die Schneidwendelplatten 14 gebildeten Schneidwendel 12 beträgt, wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, etwa das dreifache des Außendurchmessers 34 des Rohrgrundkörpers 24. Auch hier sind die Schneidwendelplatten 14 auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten einer Mittenplatte 16 verschweißt. Diese Mittenplatte 16 ist in Schlitzen 26 des Rohrgrundkörpers 24 aufgenommen und somit drehfest mit dem Rohrgrundkörper 24 verbunden. Eine weitere wesentliche Verbesserung des Ausführungsbeispiels nach den Fig. 2 bis 4 im Vergleich zu Fig. 1 besteht darin, dass die Mittenplatte 16 quer zu ihren Längskanten mit zwei Abkantungen 18 versehen ist. Zwischen diesen Abkantungen 18 ist eine Spitze 20, die auch als Zentrierspitze bezeichnet werden kann, ausgebildet. Durch diese Abkantungen 18 wird in einfacher Weise eine deutliche Erhöhung der Stabilität erzielt. Auch hier weisen die Schneidwendelplatten 14 im Wesentlichen die Form von gleichseitigen rechtwinkligen Dreiecken auf. Wie unmittelbar aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, können auch hier die beiden Schneidwendelplatten 14 aus einer quadratischen Stahlplatte hergestellt werden. Die Schneidwendelplatten 14 stützen sich außerdem jeweils an wendelartig ansteigenden Anschlagbereichen 28 ab, die an dem Rohrgrundkörper 24 ausgebildet sind. Durch diese wendelartig ansteigenden Anschlagbereiche 28 werden eine hervorragende Stabilität und somit besonders lange Standzeiten ermöglicht.The essential difference from the example shown in FIG. 1 is that in the variant shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 for stabilizing the drill bit 10, a pipe main body 24 is provided. The tube main body 24 consists essentially of a short tubular steel piece. The outer diameter 32 of the cutting helix 12 formed by the cutting helical plates 14 is, as shown in FIG. 3, about three times the outer diameter 34 of the pipe base body 24. Again, the cutting helical plates 14 are welded on opposite sides of a center plate 16. This center plate 16 is received in slots 26 of the pipe base body 24 and thus rotatably connected to the pipe base body 24. A further significant improvement of the embodiment according to FIGS. 2 to 4 in comparison to FIG. 1 is that the center plate 16 is provided with two folds 18 transversely to its longitudinal edges. Between these folds 18, a tip 20, which may also be referred to as a centering tip, is formed. By these folds 18 a significant increase in stability is achieved in a simple manner. Again, the cutting helical plates 14 substantially in the form of equilateral right triangles. As can be seen directly from FIG. 3, here too, the two cutting helical plates 14 can be produced from a square steel plate. The cutting helical plates 14 are also supported in each case on helically rising stop regions 28, which are formed on the tube body 24. By means of these helically rising abutment regions 28 excellent stability and thus particularly long service life are made possible.

Ein Beispiel eines offenen Rohrgrundkörpers 24 für eine erfindungsgemäße Bohrspitze ist in den Fig. 5 und 6 schematisch dargestellt. Der Rohrgrundkörper 24 besteht dabei im Wesentlichen aus einem Rohrstück 25, das auf einer Seite mit den oben beschriebenen wendelartigen Anschlagbereichen 28 zum Abstützen der Schneidwendelplatten 14 und außerdem mit zwei einander gegenüberliegend angeordneten Schlitzen 26 versehen ist, die zur Aufnahme der Mittenplatte 16 dienen. Das Rohrstück 25 ist außerdem mit insgesamt drei Öffnungen 38 versehen, die zum drehfesten Verbinden des Rohrgrundkörpers 24 mit einem Bohrrohr dienen können. Beispielsweise können hierzu geeignete Bolzen in die Öffnungen 38 eingeschoben werden.An example of an open tube main body 24 for a drill bit according to the invention is shown schematically in FIGS. 5 and 6.
