Underwater drilling device for procuring drill cores
The patent US11982145B2 describes an innovative underwater drilling device designed for extracting drill cores from the bed of a body of water. The device features a base frame that can be lowered to the waterbed, equipped with a drill drive that rotates a drill string around a designated drilling axis. This drill string comprises at least one tubular element and a core barrel for collecting drill cores. Notably, the design includes a storage component that is distanced from the drilling axis, which holds a receiving container for the drill cores. The tubular drill string element serves as the receiving container, and once the drill core is extracted, it can be sealed in a pressure-tight manner using a closure cap operated by a rotary drive mechanism.
Additionally, the patent outlines a method for utilizing the underwater drilling device to procure drill cores. The process involves lowering the base frame, driving the drill string, and utilizing the tubular drill string element as a receiving container for the drill core. After extraction, the core is enclosed in the container using a closing device. The method also includes steps for manipulating the core barrel, aligning it with the receiving container, and potentially creating a receiving bore in the waterbed for easier core placement. Furthermore, the design allows for temperature control within the receiving container, enhancing the versatility of the device for various underwater drilling applications.
