Pressure reversing valve for a fluid-actuated, percussive drilling tool
11686157 · 2023-06-27 ·

A pressure reversing valve for a fluid-actuated percussive drilling tool has a front thrust surface in communication with a rear chamber and a rear thrust surface in communication with a pressurized volume isolated from the flow coming from the source of pressurized fluid. The pressurized volume is in communication with a front chamber and allows the valve to take advantage of the imbalanced profile of the pressures inside the front and rear chambers that naturally occurs for enabling an asymmetric feeding process of the rear chamber that is also less sensitive to the bottom hole pressure.

Drill head and device with a sliding contact electrical connection for drilling a bore in the ground

The invention relates to a drill head and a device for drilling a bore in the ground, the drill head having a first unit coupleable with an inner drill pipe of a double drill pipe assembly and a second unit coupleable with the outer drill pipe of the double drill pipe assembly. By means of the inner drill pipe the first unit is rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to the second unit which is drivable by means of the outer drill pipe. The drill head has a sliding contact arrangement for establishing an electrical connection between the first unit and the second unit.

Valve piloting arrangements for hydraulic percussion devices
11680446 · 2023-06-20 · ·

A hydraulic percussion device comprising a piston mounted for reciprocal motion within a cylinder to impact a percussion bit and a control valve to control reciprocation of the piston. A valve pilot line is arranged to switch the control valve based on the position of the piston within the cylinder, wherein the valve pilot line is alternately connected, by the reciprocal movement of the piston, to high and low pressure lines (P, T) via an undercut in the piston. The undercut is located at a portion of the piston having a diameter less than the maximum sealing diameter of the piston.
