The invention relates to a method for drilling, being carried out by a drilling apparatus, having a drilling device (1) unit (3), in the drilling head (I) of which there hole and second drilling means (5) for reaming of the center hole for the casing part (2) as well as flushing flow arrangement (6) for flushing of waste, being generated. At least during the drilling situation, the first drilling means (4) are coupled by a power transmitting and, in order to enable removal of the same from the hole, removable arrangement, such as a bayonet coupling or like, with the second drilling means (5). A feed flow (6a) of flushing medium, being carried out centrally is being transferred by internal drillings (X1) inside a first frame part (4a), belonging to the first drilling means (4), to its outer periphery and a return flow (6b) of flushing medium, in order to accomplish a so called reverse circulation of flushing medium, from the drilling surface (pp2) of the first frame part (4a) through internal drillings (X2) therein into a space (z) between the first frame part (4a) and the casing part (2). The invention relates also to a drilling apparatus for exploitation of the method described above.
Method for drilling, being carried out by a drilling apparatus, having a drilling device (1) that comprises a casing part (2), essentially inside of which there is at least during a drilling situation a drilling unit (3), in the drilling head (I) of which there are at least first drilling means (4) for drilling a center hole and second drilling means (5) for reaming of the center hole for the casing part (2) as well as flushing flow arrangement (6) for flushing of waste, being generated, such as for feeding of flushing medium for the drilling and for removal of drilling waste, being generated, essentially inside the casing part (2), whereby at least during the drilling situation the first drilling means (4) are coupled by a power transmitting and, in order to enable removal of the same from the hole, removable arrangement, such as a bayonet, coupling or like, with the second drilling means (5), whereby the casing part (2) is arranged to be drawn into the hole to be drilled through the first and/or the second drilling means, characterized in that a feed flow (6a) of flushing medium, being carried out centrally, is being transferred by internal drillings (X1) inside a first frame part (4a), belonging to the first drilling means (4), to its outer periphery and a return flow (6b) of flushing medium, in order to accomplish a so called reverse circulation of flushing medium, from the drilling surface (pp2) of the first frame part (4a) through internal drillings (X2) therein into a space (z) between the first frame part (4a) and the casing part (2).
