摘要:
A reverse circulation, pneumatic drilling assembly (10) wherein the bit assembly (11) is operatively connected to a dual wall pipe assembly (12). A supply of compressed air is conducted through the annulus of the dual wall pipe assembly (12) to a downhole pneumatic hammer (17). Exhaust air from the downhole pneumatic hammer is directed to the bit assembly (11) for continuous removal of drilling debris through a central evacuation tube of the dual wall pipe assembly (12).

A drill bit assembly (1) includes a driver (2) adapted for attachment to a down hole pneumatic hammer. A pilot bit (30) is coupled to the driver (2) in a manner permitting rotational and axial movement between driver (2) and pilot bit (30). A series of underreamer arms (19) are disposed intermediate the driver (2) and the pilot bit (30) and engage a centrally disposed cam block (18) on the pilot bit (30). Pivot pins (21) of the underreamer arms (19) are journaled in and move with the driver (2) during partial rotation of the driver during arm deployment and retraction. Passageways (39) in the driver and pilot bit direct compressed air to the working surface of the bit for discharging particles upwardly through channels (41) in the bit and driver. Inclined surfaces (23a) on the underreamer arms (19) cooperate with the lower end of a casing (C) to contribute to arm retraction prior to removal of the assembly through the casing.
摘要:
An underreamer drill bit assembly including a pilot bit (82) and extendable underreamer arms (88) operatively connected to the pilot bit (82). The underreaming arms (88) have an extended position for underreaming, and a retracted position in which the overall diameter of the underreamer drill bit assembly is less than the inside diameter of the well casing, permitting the entire bit assembly to be withdrawn through the well casing. In another aspect of the invention, the bit assembly is operatively connected to a dual wall pipe assembly (12). A supply of compressed air is conducted through the annulus (24) of the dual wall pipe assembly (12) to a down hole pneumatic hammer (13). Exhaust air from the down hole hammer is directed to the bit assembly for continuous removal of drilling debris through a central evacuation tube (43) of the dual wall pipe assembly. In another aspect of the invention, a pressurized, incompressible fluid is injected into the annulus between the well casing and the downhole pneumatic hammer.
摘要:
A down hole hammer assembly for percussive drilling of ground holes has a drill bit (23) slidably carried in a chuck (22) housed within a barrel (21) of the assembly. Drill bit (23) travel is limited by a retainer sleeve (24) in place about a reduced segment (25) of the drill bit. The sleeve (24) includes a ring portion (24A) limiting bit travel and a skirt portion (26) for confinement within a component of the hammer assembly to prevent loss of the retainer sleeve (24) and drill bit during barrel (21) separation.
