Drilling tool and method for producing a bore in the ground

Drilling tool for producing a bore in the ground, comprising

• a rotatably drivable basic body,
• a removal means at a lower end of the basic body for removing soil material, and
• at least one adjustable removal element which is adjustable between a radially internal retraction position and a radially external extension position in which the removal element protrudes radially outwards relative to the basic body to widen a bore diameter,
• wherein for adjusting the removal element there is provided an adjustment mechanism with a rotary member which is rotatable on the basic body about the drilling axis between a first rotary position and a second rotary position,
• wherein the at least one removal element is arranged on a pivot arm which, relative to the basic body, is pivotable between a first pivoting position, in which the at least one removal element is in its retraction position, and a second pivoting position, in which the at least one removal element is in its extension position, and
• there is provided on the rotary member and/or on the at least one pivot arm an actuating cam by which a rotary movement of the rotary member can be converted into a pivoting movement of the at least one pivot arm,
• wherein
• the basic body has a drum-shaped drilling case with at least one lower receiving opening, and
• the rotary member is configured as a rotary base for opening and closing the at least one receiving opening.
