Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the production and/or the re-tipping of a diamond-core bit in a tubular form, the end face 3 of which has a greater wall thickness than the rest of the tubular wall in order to carry cutting segments 2 on the annular end face 3, the greater wall thickness in the tubular end area 3, 4 being obtained by upsetting, in particular in a rolling process. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen und/oder Neubestücken eines Diamant-Kernbohrers in Rohrform, dessen Stirnseite eine größere Wanddicke aufweist als die übrige Rohrwand, um auf der ringförmigen Stirnseite Schneidsegmente zu tragen.The invention relates to a method for producing and / or refitting a diamond core drill in the form of a tube, the end face of which has a greater wall thickness than the rest of the tube wall in order to carry cutting segments on the annular end face.

Aus der schweizerischen Patentschrift 185076 und der britischen Patentschrift 601428 ist es bekannt das die Schneidsegmente tragende Ende eines Diamant-Kernbohrers mit verstärkter Wandung auszuführen, damit die Schneidsegmente genügend Halt finden. Nach dem Verschleiß der Schneidsegmente ist auch ein erheblicher Bereich der verdickten Wandung mit verschlissen, so daß eine erhebliche Länge des Kernbohrers im verdickten Bereich heruntergedreht werden muß ehe neue Segmente aufgesetzt werden können. Der Kernbohrer hat damit eine nur sehr kurze Lebensdauer.From the Swiss patent 185076 and the British patent 601428 it is known to design the end of a diamond core drill carrying the cutting segments with a reinforced wall so that the cutting segments find sufficient support. After the cutting segments have worn out, a considerable area of the thickened wall is also worn, so that a considerable length of the core drill in the thickened area must be turned down before new segments can be put on. The core drill thus has a very short lifespan.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zum Herstellen und/oder Neubestücken eines Diamant-Kernbohrers der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß der Bohrer auf einfache und preiswerte Weise sehr häufig immer wieder mit Schneidsegmenten versehen werden kann.The object of the invention is to improve a method for producing and / or refitting a diamond core drill of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the drill can very often be provided with cutting segments again and again in a simple and inexpensive manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die größere Wanddicke im Rohr-Stirnbereich durch ein Aufstauchen, insbesondere in einem Rollverfahren erfolgt.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the greater wall thickness in the end region of the tube is achieved by upsetting, in particular in a rolling process.

Bei diesem Verfahren kann nach dem Verschleiß der Schneidsegmente das Rohr auf der schneidenden Stirnseite aufgrund des Verschleisses eine geringere Wanddicke aufweisen als für die Segmente erforderlich ist, da nach einem geringfügigen Glattdrehen oder Glattfräsen der Stirnseite, diese wieder aufgestaucht wird, bis sie eine genügende Wanddicke für die Schneidsegmente besitzt. Das Rohr kann damit über seine gesamte Länge eine gleichbleibende geringe Wanddicke aufweisen und braucht nur an dem schneidenden Ende soweit aufgestaucht zu werden, bis die Breite der Stirnfläche für ein Befestigen der Schneidsegmente groß genug ist. Damit wird nach dem Verschleiß des jeweiligen Schneidsegmentsatzes nur sehr wenig Rohrlänge verbraucht um wieder eine genügend breite Stirnfläche zu erhalten. Ein solches Verfahren ist verhältnismäßig wenig arbeitsaufwendig und preiswert. Darüberhinaus wird durch das Aufstauchen das Metall an der schneidenden Stirnseite verfestigt, so daß ein besonders sicherer Halt gegeben ist.In this method, after the cutting segments have worn, the tube on the cutting end face may have a smaller wall thickness than is required for the segments, since after a slight smooth turning or milling the end face, it is swaged up again until it has a sufficient wall thickness for which has cutting segments. The tube can thus have a constant small wall thickness over its entire length and only needs to be swaged up at the cutting end until the width of the end face is large enough for fastening the cutting segments. This means that, after the respective cutting segment set has worn out, only a very small pipe length is used in order to obtain a sufficiently wide end face again. Such a method is relatively inexpensive and labor intensive. In addition, the metal is solidified on the cutting face by the upsetting, so that a particularly secure hold is given.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn auf der Rohrstirnseite mindestens eine Rolle unter Druck abläuft bis die für die Schneidsegmente erforderliche Wanddicke erreicht ist. Auch wird vorzugsweise vorgeschlagen, daß zum Neubestücken mit Schneidsegmenten die bisherigen verbrauchten Schneidsegmente von der Rohrstirnseite soweit vorhanden entfernt werden und die Rohrstirnseite um eine geringe Länge abgedreht oder abgefräst wird, und daß danach die Rohrstirnseite aufgestaucht wird.It is particularly advantageous if at least one roller runs under pressure on the tube end face until the wall thickness required for the cutting segments is reached. It is also preferably proposed that the existing used cutting segments be removed from the pipe end face as far as possible and that the pipe end face is turned or milled off by a small length for new equipping with cutting segments, and that the pipe end face is then swaged up.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below.

Es zeigen

  • Figur 1 einen Längsschnitt durch das Rohr,
  • Figur 2 eine Stirnansicht und
  • Figur 3 einen Ausschnitt aus Figur 1 in vergrößertem Maßstab.
Show it
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through the tube,
  • Figure 2 is an end view
  • Figure 3 shows a detail of Figure 1 on an enlarged scale.

Das Rohr 1 eines Diamant-Kernbohrers ist am freien schneidenden Ende verdickt 1a ausgeführt, so daß die ringförmige Stirnseite 3 eine größere Dicke aufweist als die übrige Rohrwandung. Auf dieser Stirnseite 3 sind Diamant-Schneidsegmente 2 aufgelötet.The tube 1 of a diamond core drill is thickened 1a at the free cutting end, so that the annular end face 3 has a greater thickness than the rest of the tube wall. Diamond cutting segments 2 are soldered onto this end face 3.

Ehe die Schneidsegmente 2 befestigt werden, wird das Rohrende durch Rollen kalt verformend aufgestaucht. Hierzu wird mindestens eine Rolle radial zum Rohr gegen die Stirnseite 3 gestellt und auf die Stirnseite rollend gedrückt, wodurch das Rohrmaterial insbesondere der Stahl im Bereich 1a kalt verformt wird. Die Achse der verformenden Rolle ist dabei so angeordnet, daß sie die Rohrachse 7 schneidet. Die verformende Rolle kann einen zylindrischen oder aber auch einen balligen oder spitzen Rollenmantel besitzen, um die Verformung zu beschleunigen.Before the cutting segments 2 are fastened, the pipe end is swaged up cold-deforming by rolling. For this purpose, at least one roller is placed radially to the tube against the end face 3 and pressed onto the end face in a rolling manner, as a result of which the tube material, in particular the steel, is cold-deformed in the region 1a. The axis of the deforming roller is arranged so that it intersects the tube axis 7. The deforming roller can have a cylindrical or else a spherical or pointed roller jacket in order to accelerate the deformation.

Soll ein Bohrer mit Schneidsegmenten neubestückt werden, so muß nach Abnahme der restlichen verbrauchten Schneidsegmente die Rohrstirnseite nur um wenige Milimeter abgedreht oder abgefräst werden, wonach dann die Rohrstirnseite aufgestaucht wird.If a drill is to be re-equipped with cutting segments, then after removing the remaining used cutting segments, the tube end face only has to be turned or milled by a few millimeters, after which the tube end face is then swaged up.

Im aufgestauchten Bereich 1a bildet dieser sowohl am Innen- als auch Außendurchmesser 4, 6 einen Freiwinkel 5, so daß die Stirnseite 3 sowohl an der Innenseite als auch an der Außenseite gegenüber der Rohrwandung vorsteht. Damit ist sichergestellt, daß die Rohrwandung im nicht oder wenig verbreiterten Bereich einem Verschleiß nicht ausgesetzt ist.In the upset area 1a, this forms a clearance angle 5 on both the inside and outside diameters 4, 6, so that the end face 3 protrudes from the tube wall both on the inside and on the outside. So that is ensures that the pipe wall is not exposed to wear in the not or little widened area.
