Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to pressurized fluid flow systems for percussion mechanisms operating with said fluid, particularly for bottom hammers and more particularly for normal circulation bottom hammers, and for bottom hammers with said systems.
- the bottom hammer is used by mounting it on a surface drilling machine.
- the drilling machine is also composed of a drilling string composed of mutually connected bars, the rear end, understood as the end that is furthest from the drill (element described later in these specifications), is mounted on a rotating head and thrust and the front end, understood as the end that is closest to the hammer drill bit, connects to the hammer.
- the drilling machine supplies the pressurized fluid necessary for the operation of the hammer.
- the main moving part of the hammer is the piston.
- This hammer member has a general cylindrical shape and is arranged coaxially and slidably inside an outer cylindrical housing.
- the piston makes a reciprocating movement due to the change in pressure of the pressurized fluid contained in two main chambers, a front chamber and a rear chamber, formed inside the hammer and located at opposite ends of the piston.
- the piston has a front end in contact with the front chamber and a rear end in contact with the rear chamber, and has outer sliding surfaces or sliding sections of the outer surface of the piston (as opposed to sections with recesses, grooves or perforations) and internal sliding surfaces or sliding sections of the inner surface of the piston (again as opposed to sections with recesses, grooves or perforations).
- the outer sliding surfaces are primarily designed to ensure the guidance and alignment of the piston inside the hammer. In addition, in most of the hammers these surfaces, together with the internal sliding surfaces of the piston, in cooperation with other elements as described later in these specifications, allow for feed control and alternate discharge of pressurized fluid into the inside and from the front and rear cameras.
- the front part of the hammer which performs the function of drilling, is known as the drill and is slidably arranged in a drill holder mounted on the front of the outer shell, the drill being in contact with the front chamber and adapted to receive the impact of the front end of the piston.
- a component known as a drill guide is normally used, which is disposed inside the outer shell.
- the rotational movement provided by the drilling machine is transmitted to the drill by means of grooved surfaces or grooves in both the rearmost part of the drill (or drill tail) and in the drill holder.
- the head of the drill larger in diameter than the outer shell and that the tail of the drill and the drill holder, has mounted on it the cutting elements that fulfill the drilling task and that extend forward from the front face of the drill.
- the movement of the drill is limited in its path towards back by the drill-holder and on its way forward by a retention element specially contemplated for this purpose.
- a cylinder head is provided to connect the hammer to the drill string and, ultimately, to the source of pressurized fluid.
- the rear end of the hammer is understood as the end where the cylinder head is located and the front end of the hammer, the end where the drill bit is located.
- the respective sequence for the states of the front and rear chambers are as follows: [a - b (expansion) - c - b (compression) - a] and [c - b (compression) - a - b (expansion) - c].
- the transition from one state to another is independent for each chamber and is controlled by the position of the piston with with respect to other parts of the hammer such that the piston acts in itself as a valve, as well as an impact element.
- a first operating mode or "drilling mode” when pressurized fluid is supplied to the hammer and the hammer is in the impact position, the piston immediately begins the reciprocating motion and the drill is impacted in each cycle by the piston, the front end of the drill thus executing the function of drilling the rock at each impact.
- the rock fragments are expelled to the surface by the pressurized fluid discharged from the front and rear chambers to the bottom of the well.
- the magnitude of the pressurized fluid column with the rock fragments also increases, producing greater resistance to the discharge of pressurized fluid from the chambers. This phenomenon negatively affects the drilling process. In some applications, the filtration of water or any other fluid into the well increases this resistance even more, and the operation of the hammer can cease.
- this hammer operating mode can be complemented by an assisted sweeping system that allows the discharge of part of the flow of pressurized fluid available from the source of pressurized fluid directly to the bottom of the well without going through the hammer cycle.
- the assisted scanning system allows deep cleaning of the bottom of the well while it is drilled.
- a second operating mode of the hammer or "sweeping mode” the drill string and the hammer are lifted by the drilling machine so that the drill loses contact with the rock and all pressurized fluid is discharged through the hammer directly to the bottom of the well for cleaning purposes without going through the hammer cycle, so that the piston ceases its reciprocating motion.
- the pressurized fluid from the assisted scanning system has an energy level substantially similar to that of the pressurized fluid discharged from the source of pressurized fluid, as opposed to what happens with the pressurized fluid discharged from the chambers, which is at a pressure considerably less due to the exchange of energy with the piston.
- This conduit can be divided into two or more passages that terminate on the front face of the drill such that the discharge of pressurized fluid is generated mainly from the center and through the front face of the drill towards the peripheral region thereof and towards the wall of the well, and then towards the surface through the annular space between the hammer and the wall of the well and between the drill string and the wall of the well.
- the rock fragments are expelled by drag and are suspended in the pressurized fluid discharged towards the bottom of the well.
- Normally circulating hammers are used in the development of underground and surface mining. Due to its ability to drill medium and hard rocks, the use of these types of hammers has also been extended to the construction of oil, water and geothermal wells. In general, the removed rock is not used, as it is not of interest and suffers from contamination on its way to the surface.
- the drill or a cylindrical sealing element of the hammer that has a diameter substantially similar to the diameter of the drill head and greater than the outer diameter of the outer shell, performs the function of preventing the leakage of pressurized fluid and of the rock fragments into the annular space between the hammer and the wall of the well and between the drill string and the wall of the well when the well is being drilled (as is the case with a normal hammer), forcing these fragments of rock to travel through the sampling tube and the drill string to the surface through the action of the pressurized fluid. If it is the drill that performs this sealing function, it has a peripheral region that isolates the front face of the drill from said annular space.
- variables used to evaluate the performance and utility of the hammer are the following:
- the penetration rate which is given by the power generated in the cycle of the pressurized fluid in the hammer and whose value depends on two variables: the consumption of pressurized fluid and the efficiency of the energy conversion cycle, this is defined as the energy generated per unit mass of pressurized fluid consumed;
- Pressurized fluid flow systems Different pressurized fluid flow systems are used in hammers for the process of supplying pressurized fluid to the front chamber and the rear chamber and to discharge the pressurized fluid from these chambers. In all of them there is a feeding chamber formed inside the hammer from which, and depending on the position of the piston, the pressurized fluid is conducted to the front chamber or the rear chamber.
- the piston acts as a valve, so that depending on its position it is the state in which the front and rear chambers are located, these states being the ones indicated above: supply, expansion-compression and discharge.
- the net force exerted on the piston is the result of the pressure that exists in the front chamber, the surface of the piston in contact with said front chamber (or front thrust surface of the piston), the pressure that exists in the chamber rear, the surface of the piston in contact with said rear chamber (or rear thrust surface of the piston), the weight of the piston and the dissipative forces that may exist.
- Type A flow system represented by US4084646, US5944117 and US6135216
- a piece called an air guide is provided to control the discharge of the rear chamber, the air guide being a tubular element coaxial with the piston and the outer shell and located on the rear face of the rear camera.
- a foot valve is also provided in order to control the discharge of the front chamber, the foot valve being a hollow tubular element coaxial with the piston and the outer shell and protruding from the rear face of the drill, known as the impact face .
- Type B flow system represented by US5984021, US4312412 and US6454026
- the feed tube interacts with holes and recesses inside the piston.
- Recesses on the outer sliding surface of the piston and on the inner surface of the outer housing complement the control of the piston on the condition of the chambers.
- the discharge of the front chamber is controlled by a foot valve in the drill (US5984021 and US4312412) or, alternatively, by a front portion of the smaller diameter piston that interacts with a piston guide (US6454026).
- This last solution can also be used as an alternative to the foot valve in the Type A flow system and in the rest of the flow systems that will be described later.
- the hammers with the Type A flow system have a more resistant piston and with a simpler manufacturing process than the hammers with the Type B flow system.
- the creation of the feed chamber in The inside of the feed tube causes a delay in the start of the flow when the supply of pressurized fluid to the chambers is active, due to the distance between the first and the last.
- the holes and recesses also cause an increase in the dead volume of the chambers, the main consequence of this being an increase in the consumption of pressurized fluid and a reduction in the efficiency of energy conversion in the thermodynamic cycle.
- the front thrust surface of the piston is greatly reduced due to the fact that a sufficiently large impact surface is still necessary to withstand the stress generated by the impact, thus subtracting surface from the front thrust surface.
- the provision of a feed tube requires the use of a piston with a central duct that extends along its entire length, generating the effects on power already mentioned for the Type A system.
- the design described in this patent has three different sets of feed ducts integrated in the outer shell.
- the first set of passages ends on the inner surface of the outer shell and creates a feed chamber between the outer sliding surface of the piston and the inner surface of the outer shell.
- the second and third set of passages allow pressurized fluid flow from the feed chamber to the front chamber and to the rear chamber, respectively.
- the feed chamber interacts with recesses in the outer sliding surface of the piston and with the second and third set of passages in the outer housing, while the Discharge of the front chamber and the rear chamber are controlled respectively by a foot valve and an air guide (see the Type A flow system applied to a normal circulation hammer).
- Type D flow system represented by US5113950 and US5279371
- a feed chamber is provided at the rear end of the piston, these designs having characteristics similar to those of the Type A and Type B flow systems.
- the Type D flow system uses a central feed tube as in the Type B flow system, but differs from this in that the feed chamber is not created in The inside of the feeding tube. Instead, similar to that of the Type A flow system, the feed chamber is created and acts on a portion of the rear part of the piston. In this way, the feeding tube performs the function of helping to drive the pressurized fluid into the feeding chamber and does not participate in its creation. All this results in a reduction in the rear thrust surface of the piston.
- the need to unload the rear chamber requires the use of a piston with a central duct that emerges from the front face thereof, thereby further reducing the rear thrust surface and the front thrust surface of the piston, which translates in a cycle of even less power.
- Type E flow system represented by US8640794 and US7921941
- the designs described in these patents consist of a jacket mounted inside the outer shell, the jacket creating a feed chamber for the supply of pressurized fluid to the front chamber and the rear chamber of the hammer, and a discharge chamber for the discharge of pressurized fluid from the front chamber and from the rear chamber.
- the feed and discharge chambers are defined by respective recesses, arranged longitudinally in series, on the inner surface of the outer shell.
- Type 1 flow system represented by US5154244, RE36002 (US), US6702045 and US5685380.
- a flow system is shown where the pressurized fluid is conducted from the rear end of the drill to an intermediate point outside it through channels created in the outer surface of the drill. These channels work cooperatively with the grooves of the drill to create closed ducts. From this intermediate point, the flow of Pressurized fluid is diverted through holes in the drill holder to a conduit formed between the outer surface of the drill holder and the inner surface of the sealing ring or shoe such that the pressurized fluid is discharged into the peripheral region of the end front of the drill.
- Type A and Type D flow systems As with the Type B flow system, a smaller portion of the piston diameter that interacts with a piston guide is used as an alternative solution to the foot valve to control the discharge of the front chamber.
- the discharge of the rear chamber is controlled by means of an air guide that enables or blocks the flow of pressurized fluid from the rear chamber to a coaxial central duct formed between the inner sliding surface of the piston and the outer surface of the sampling tube , in which this conduit extends from the rear chamber to the rear end of the drill.
- the disadvantages of this flow system are the same associated with the Type A and Type D flow systems and, in particular, negatively affects the design of the drill in two aspects.
- the first is the need for a multiplicity of manufacturing processes for the production of the channels on the outer surface of the drill, which increases the cost of manufacturing the hammer.
- the second is that, due to the presence of these channels, the drag surface of the stretch marks, which depend on the contact area of each groove individually and the total number of grooves, may be insufficient in some applications. This last problem can be compensated by lengthening the drill, but this implies increasing the cost of the hammer.
- Type 2 flow system represented by US5407021 and US4819746
- Patents US5407021 and US4819746 describe a system in which the flow of pressurized fluid is conducted from the rear end of the drill to an intermediate point on the outer surface thereof by means of channels cooperatively formed by machined grooves in the inner surface of the drill holder and machined grooves on the outer surface of the drill tail. From this intermediate point, the flow of pressurized fluid is diverted through mainly longitudinal holes created in the drill head so as to discharge the pressurized fluid into the peripheral region of the front end of the drill.
- the head of the drill also has the function of preventing the leakage of pressurized fluid through the annular space formed between the hammer and the wall of the well and between the bars and the wall of the well.
- US4819746 has a Type A flow system.
- a smaller front diameter portion of the piston interacts with a piston guide, as described in the Type B flow system.
- the discharge of the rear camera is controlled by an air guide
- the pressurized fluid flow system of the invention is characterized in that it comprises a set of external sliding surfaces of equal diameter in the piston thus preventing the failure of this part due to friction-induced heating cracks between the piston and misaligned parts (guide of air, feeding tube, foot valve, etc.). Moreover, the piston has no holes, channels or passages, making it a completely solid piece.
- the pressurized fluid flow system of the invention is characterized by having a jacket coaxially disposed between the housing outer and piston; and for having two sets of channels, a set of feed channels and a set of discharge channels, delimited by the outer surface of the jacket and the inner surface of the outer shell.
- the set of feed channels is permanently filled with fluid from the source of pressurized fluid and connected without interruption to the output of said source.

- the feed channels are arranged in parallel in a longitudinal direction with respect to the discharge channels translating longitudinally and both sets of channels are defined by the respective sets of recesses on the outer surface of the jacket.
- the piston has an annular recess in its outer surface that defines, in cooperation with the inner surface of the jacket, a feeding chamber.
- the feed chamber is permanently connected without interruption to the set of feed channels. In this way, the feed chamber is permanently filled with fluid from the source of pressurized fluid and connected without interruption to the outlet of said source.

- front and rear recess sets are provided in the jacket.
- multiple through ports are provided in the jacket.
- the flow of pressurized fluid into the interior and from the front and rear chambers takes place between the inner surface of the jacket and the outer surface of the piston.
- the state of the front camera and the rear camera are controlled in the invention by the interaction of this single pair of components.
- the aforementioned configuration allows optimum use of the cross-sectional area of the hammer compared to the hammers of the prior art.
- the front thrust surface and the rear thrust surface of the piston under the configuration of the invention are identical in size. Additionally, the control of the discharge of the front chamber and the rear chamber by means of the interaction between the piston and the sleeve does not require having a foot valve or a front portion of the piston of smaller diameter interacting with a piston guide or a air guide for this purpose, thus avoiding additional losses in the thrust areas as with the prior art flow systems.
- one or more scanning passages can be provided in the dividing walls that separates the set of feed channels and the set of discharge channels to allow part of the flow of pressurized fluid available from the source of pressurized fluid to be directly discharged. at the bottom of the well, thus forming an assisted sweeping system and allowing greater drilling capacity in depth without a marked reduction in the penetration rate.
- the invention also relates to a normal circulating bottom hammer characterized by having the pressurized fluid flow system described above and a drill in which the conventional central duct at the rear end thereof and the two or more converging passages in this central duct used in normal circulation hammers have been replaced by one or more sweeping passages drilled through the drill bit extending from the channels which, as described in the Type 1 and Type 2 flow systems, are created cooperatively by the grooves in the drill holder and in the drill tail, to the front face of the drill. This allows a simplified and more robust drill bit for a normal circulation hammer.

- the pressurized fluid flow system of the invention includes a jacket (40) that is coaxially disposed between the outer shell (1) and the piston (60), the jacket (40) having an inner surface (47) and an outer surface (48).
- the rear chamber (230) of the hammer is defined by the cylinder head (20), the sleeve (40) and the rear thrust surface (62) of the piston (60).
- the volume of the rear chamber is variable depending on the position of the piston (60).
- the front chamber (240) of the hammer is defined by the drill bit (90), the sleeve (40), the drill guide (150) and the front thrust surface (63) of the piston (60).
- the volume of the front chamber is also variable depending on the position of the piston (60).
- the piston (60) has an annular recess (68) on its outer surface which defines, in cooperation with the inner surface (47) of the jacket (40), a pressurized fluid feed chamber (66). This pressurized fluid feed chamber (66) is longitudinally limited at each end by the outer sliding surfaces (64, 67) of the piston, respectively.

- the first of these sets of channels is in permanent communication with the source of pressurized fluid and is filled with said fluid while the second of these sets of channels is directly communicated with the bottom of the well.
- the jacket (40) has rear inlet ports for the pressurized fluid (41) drilled through it, connecting the feed channels (2) with a feed recess (21) in the cylinder head (20), and has ports elongados frontal of exit of pressurized fluid (42) perforated through her, which in fluid and uninterrupted form communicate the set of channels of feeding (2) of the shirt with the camera of feeding (66), filling it therefore in permanent form with pressurized fluid.

- the invention is not limited to the use of a drill guide and alternative alignment solutions can be used with the corresponding means for the discharge of the pressurized fluid.
- the impact face (61) of the piston (60) When in the hammer cycle the impact face (61) of the piston (60) is in contact with the impact face (91) of the drill bit (90) and the drill bit (90) is at the rear end of its stroke, that is, the hammer is in impact position (see figure 3), the rear chamber (230) is in direct fluid communication with the set of discharge channels (3) through the rear set of discharge ports (43) of the shirt (40) (see figure 3).
