Abstract

The invention relates to a drilling bucket and a method for producing a bore with a drilling bucket, wherein the drilling bucket is driven in a rotating manner and introduced into the ground, wherein ground material is removed and received in an internal space of a tubular base body of the drilling bucket, and for emptying the drilling bucket is withdrawn from the bore and a bottom on the tubular base body is folded open. According to the invention the drilling bucket is rotated in a reversing manner during emptying, wherein ground material received in the drilling bucket is pressed against at least one impact wall and, in doing so, the ground material is specifically compacted and deformed for easier loosening from the internal space.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Drilling bucket having a tubular base body, on the upper side of which a connecting means to a drill bar is arranged and on the underside of which a bottom is supported such that it can be folded open, wherein on the bottom a cutting means for removing ground material and at least one through-opening is provided, which is designed for the passage of removed ground material into an internal space of the tubular base body,
wherein
in the internal space of the tubular base body at least one impact wall is fixed which substantially extends over the entire axial length of the internal space, limits the internal space of the tubular base body in some areas and forms an impact surface for ground material received in the internal space, and
the at least one impact wall is designed so as to be inclined with respect to a longitudinal axis of the tubular base body and a distance of the at least one impact wall decreases from the longitudinal axis upwards.

2. Drilling bucket according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the at least one impact wall has a run-in radius and/or a run-out radius.

3. Drilling bucket according to claim 1 ,
wherein
two impact walls are provided which lie opposite each other in the internal space.

4. Drilling bucket according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the tubular base body is of cylindrical or conical design on the internal side.

5. Drilling bucket according to claim 1 ,
wherein
through the at least one impact wall a rear space is separated from the internal space, in which lines and/or a linkage are arranged.

6. Drilling bucket according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the bottom has a closing plate capable of turning, with which the at least one through-opening can be closed.

7. Method for producing a bore in the ground with a drilling bucket according to claim 1 , in which
the drilling bucket is driven in a rotating manner and introduced into the ground, wherein ground material is removed and received in an internal space of a tubular base body of the drilling bucket, and
for emptying the drilling bucket is withdrawn from the bore and a bottom of the tubular base body is folded open,
wherein
the drilling bucket is rotated in a reversing manner during emptying, wherein ground material received in the drilling bucket is pressed against at least one impact wall and, in doing so, the ground material is specifically compacted and deformed for easier loosening from the internal space.

8. Method according to claim 7 ,
wherein
the created bore is filled with a hardenable mass, wherein a pile-shaped foundation element is produced.
