A traveling gear support 8b is provided upon which is mounted traveling gears 8c, which extend between the internal gear teeth of the housing 8 and the central gear 8a. A center shaft 8d extends downwardly through a centered and bushed hole in the closed end of the gear housing 8, as shown best in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The shaft 8d extends into a second gear housing 9 and is provided with a gear 9a.
The gear housing 9 is secured to the casing 1, is similar to the. gear housing 8 and is provided with a rotary gear support 9b on which is mounted gears 9c which extend between the gear 9a and the internal gear teeth on the inner surface of the housing 9. The rotary gear support 9b rests on a bearing 10. A shaft 11 is provided which is secured to the gear support 9b and which extends through a centered and bushed opening in the gear housing 9. A spring 12 encircles the shaft 11 and rests with the one edge thereof against the bushed portion of the housing 9 and the other end against the hammer bushing 16. s
Mounted at the lower end of the shaft 11 is a cam roller support 13. The roller support 13 is normally held against a collar 11a at the lower portion of the shaft 11 by means of a spring 14 which extends to another collar 11b. Mounted on bosses which extend from opposite sides of the cam roller support 13 is a pair of tapered cam rollers 15 which are adapted t'o roll on a double cam 16a which constitutes the lower extremity of the hammer bush-ing 16. The cam 16a passes from its minimum to its maximum in half a circumvolution, as shown in Figs. 2, 9 and in the developed view 10.
It will be noted that the depth of the cam is greater than the normal movement of the hammer, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 10 of the drawings. After reaching its maxiward movement before striking the rollers.
As the rollers turn they engage the incline of the cam at an angle thus reducing the pounding on the rollers to a minimum.
The hammer plug 16 serves as a plug for closing the chamber 17a in which the rollers .travel and a bushing for the shaft 11. An
. Spaced a short distance below the hammer 17 is a head member 18 of the percussive drilling mechanism. The head member 18 is limited in its upper movement by an internal annular collar 16 secured to the casing 1. .A longitudinally extending groove 18a is provided in the one side of the head member 18 into which extends a key 1c which is secured to and extends fromthe side walls of the casing 1. The keys 1a and 1c prevent all but a reciprocal movement of the hammer 17 and the head member 18 relative to the casing 1.
Secured into the head member 18 is a drill shank 19. A spring 20 is' provided which extends between the `under side of the head member 18 and a bushing 21. The bushing 21 centers shank 19 relative to the casings and removably connects the lower extremit of the casin 1 with the upper extremity o another casmg 22 thereby facilitating the dismantling or repairing of the drilling apparatus.
A stufling gland 23 is provided whichl is ad- ]'ustably secured to the lower portion of the bushing 21. The stufling gland 23 is provided with an extended annular portion 23a to which is secured by means of a clamp 24a a flexible .sleeve 24. The sleeve 24 extends along the shank 19 forming a fluidtight oint therewith and its extended end is rigidly secued relative thereto by means of a clamp 24 Immediately below the -sleeve 24 is a collar 19e which is secured to the shank 19. A spring 25 extends between the collar 19e and a spring support 26. The support 26 is cylindrical and provided with an internal annular ridge 26a which fits snugly around the longitudinal shank 19. Slots 266 are provided which bisect the cylindrical portion of the spring support 26 below the flange 26a, as shown in Figs. 3 and 13 of the drawings. Holes 22a are provided which extend through the walls of the casing 22 into the ichamber provided between the spring support 26 and the shank 19.
The yfluid conductors 6 terminate just below the holes 22a. Thusa fluid passage is provided which extends from lthe fluid pipe P into the fluid conductors and then into -the chamber just described. n,
The shank 19 is provided with a diametrically extending passage 19a which intersects a centered longitudinal passa-ge -196 within'.
the shank 19. Immediately below the hole 19a is another flexible sleeve 24. The lower extremity of the sleeve 24 is secured to an extended portion 27a of the bushing 27. Said bushing 2l is removably secured to the lower portion of the casing 22. Secured in spaced relation to the periphery of the casing 22 below the fluid conductor 6 is a plurality of centering means 5 which are provided with furved extended lower portions 5a which tend to center the casing 22 and prevent the casing from rotating. Thus the two sets of centering means 5 center the drilling apparatus relative to the tubing T, or the sides of anunlined well. A second extended portion 276 extends downwardly from the bushing 27 along the shank 19 and receives the one end of the flexible sleeve 24, the other end of which is secured to the shank 19.
The shank 1'9 is provided with several sets of annular grooves 19d corresponding to each extended portion of the several flexible sleeves 24. The clamps 246 thereof press portions of the sleeves 24 into the grooves 19d thereby preventing the slipping of the extended ends of the several sleeves 24 relative to the shank 19 and preventing the leakage of fluid therebetween.
A bushing 28 is provided which is removably secured to a casing 29 whichhas a substantially smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the tubingT, or the hole to be drilled. Mounted on the inner central portion ofthe casing 29 are a pair of fluid motor rotor segments 30, as shown in Figs. 3, 15 and 16 of the drawings. Each rotor segment is provided with a plurality of helically extending ridges 30a.
Secured to the lower extremity of the shank 19 is a fluid motor stator. A diametricallyextending passage 190 is provided in the shank 19 which intersects the lower extremity I0f the passage 196 and communicates with a chamber 316 formed by the upper portions of the stator 31 and the rotor segments 30. The
shown best in Figs. 3, 15 and 17 of the ldrawings. The lower portion ofthe stator 31 isl reduced and extends within'a drill chuck 32 which is revoluble relative thereto'. The drill chuck 32 is secured to the casing 29 and rotates therewith. Thus when a fluid, such as water or the like, passes out through the passage it is directed by the longitudinally extended ridges 31a against the helically extending ridges 30a, causing the chuck to rotate.
A chamber 306 is formed by the upper extremity of the drill chuck 32 and thelower portions of the rotor segments 30. The drill chuck 32 is provided with a plurality of spaced apart longitudinally extending passages 32a which communicate with the chamber 30?) and extend to the lower extremity of the drill chuck. The lower extremity of the drill chuck is provided with a plurality of slots 326 which are tapered at the one side thereof, as shown best in Figs. 3 and 19 of the drawings. Each slot 32?) extends towards the outer periphery of the drill chuck 32 so that only the one untapered side is coincident with the center line of the drill chuck, as
shown best in Fig. 18 of the drawings.
A countersunk hole is formed by the intersection of the several drills 33 through which extends a bolt 32o which is secured to the drill chuck 32 and which holds the central portions of the drills from springing, as shownbest in Figs. 3, 18 and 19 of the drawings. The bolt 320 is provided with a chisel shaped end portion which cuts the central part of the well hole not covered by the drills.
The alternative hammer structure, shown in Figs. 20, 21, 22, and 23, may be interchanged with the hammer structure in the apparatus just described. The alternative hammer structure is intended for use when relatively light rapid blows are needed. This is especially desirable for the softer strata through which the drill passes, while the structure previously described is more suited for the harder strata.
In the alternative structure, gears 34, and 35, shown fragmentarily, which have a different gear ratio are substituted in place of the gears 9a and 9c. A traveling gear support 36 which replaces the support 9b, rests upon the bearing 10 and is secured to the shaft 37, which replaces the shaft 11. The shaft 11, hammer,'and remaining hammer actuating means of the first described hammer 'structure is replaced by the alternative hammer and actuating means.
The shaft 37 extends downwardly through the bushed opening in the lower portion of the gear housing 9. A thrust bearing 38 rests with its one side against the shoulder of the shaft 37 and theuother side rests against the bushing in the lower portion of the gear housing 9,- as shown in Fig. 20 of the drawings. The lower portion of the shaft 37 is reduced and provided with a pair of spaced apart collars 39. Resiliently supported by means of springs 40 between the collars 39 is a roller support 41 which is rovided with a pair of diametrically extending bosses upon which` is rotatably mounted rollers 42. A cam member 43 is provided which consists of two spaced apart cylindrical shells having a pair of coinciding cam surfaces 43a and 431) which forms a slot of constant width having a pair of maximum points and a pair of minimum points to each circumvolution as shown best in Fig. 22 and the developed view 23 of the drawings.
The rollers 42 may move freely yet impart a positive action at all times to the cam 43. The cam means 43 and roller mechanism are mounted within an opening in the upper p0rtion of the hammer 45 which is closed by a bushing 44, there being provided plenty of room for the movement of the hammer 45 relative to its actuating mechanism. The springs 40 permit the continual rotation of the -rollers 42 whether or not the hammer makes a stroke equal in\l\ength to the height of the cam.I Thus when the drill is in hard strata the hammer 45 normally moves a shorter distance than the height of the cam causing the upper spring 40 to contract and permitting the rollers 42 to pass over the high points of the cam 41. When the drill is not resting on the bottom of the well the hammer 45 makes a slightly longer stroke than the cam permits and the additional length is taken up in the contraction of the lower spring 40.
The operation of my well drilling app-aratus is as follows:
The whole apparatus is lowered by means of.a cable attached to the bail 4 until the drills 33 touch the bottom of 'a well. The centering means v5 press against the tubing T or walls of the hole and center the a paratus relative thereto. The flexible pipe F is connected with the source of"water supply having suitable pressure and the electric cable 3 is connected to the source of electrical power. The electric motor 7 is controlled by suitable means at the m'outh of the well and turns the shaft 11 by means of the gear trains mounted in the housings 8 and 9. The shaft 11 rotates the `cam rollers 15 which are in Contact with the cam 16a thus imparting a reciprocating action to the hammer 17.
It will be noted in the first described structure that the motor simply raises the hammer against the action of the spring 12 and the weight of the hammer 17. Thus the force of the hammer is due to the spring 12 and to its own inertia. lVhen the drill portions are resting on the bottom of the Well the hammer 17 strikes the head 18 of the percussion mechanism of the drilling apparatus which includes the head 18, the shank 19, and the mechanism secured to the lower end thereof, as shown best in Figs. 2, 3, and 4 of the drawings. When theydrills 33 of the percussive mechanism are resting upon the bottom of the well, the percussive mechanism moves only a short distance with each blow of the hammer. Thus the springs 20 and 25 do not offer a great resistanceto the action of the hammer 17. The strength and tendency of the springs 20 and 25 is such that they overbalance the dead weight of the percussive mechanism and return it each time to the stop 1b to receive the blow from the hammer 17. Should the drills 33 be oli' the bottom of the well, the springs 20 and 25 absorb the force of the hammer 17 and prevent any damage to the apparatus.
The lower portion of t-he percussive apparatus is provided with a rudimentary hydraulic motor which is driven b water which comes down the flexible pipe I; through the passages 2b and 2c into the fluid conductor Y6 then through the hole 22a and passage 19a intothe passa e 196 then out through the passage 190 an into the chamber 316. The water is directedb means of the ridges 31a against the helica ly extending ridges 30a causing the rotors 30, casing 29, drill shank 32, drills 33, and drill end 32e to rotate slightly with each stroke of the hammer. It will be noted that it is not necessary nor especially desirable to produce a rapid rotation of the drill. Thus the force produced by the impingement of the water lagainst the rotors is s uificient. After leaving the hydraulic motor, the water passes through the passages 32a and out between the drills 33, then back and upward in the space between the tubing and the drilling. apparatus as shown in the several cross sectional views such as Fig. 6 through 9' and 11 through 14, the water after leaving the drill apparatus carries along with it the ground upparticles of matter which the drills have made to the top of the well.
It will be noted that the drilling mechanism may have a certain lexibilityrelative to the actuating mechanism, hence the drills will tend to undercut the tubing.
It will also be noted that the above described well drilling appavatus will Work equally as well inan unlin d well hole.
