How to make the drilling rig with own hands

To provide owner-occupied residential building or giving with water, owners of country sites usually should drill wells. Of course, most often this procedure is charged to experts. However well-drilling costs rather much presently. Therefore in certain cases owners of plots prefer to carry out this operation independently.

Certainly, for drilling of the well first of all it will be necessary to prepare all necessary tools and the equipment. In particular, to execute this operation it will not turn out, of course, without drilling rig.

Similar devices in the majority have rather simple design. Therefore it is possible to make the drilling rig for drilling of the well on the country site if desired also the hands.

Types of the equipment

Types of the drilling rigs intended for well-drilling are available a little. But most often owners of country sites assemble by the hands devices of this type:

The first kind of installations represents frame with the triangular basis. Drilling when using such design is made by means of bailer. In free fall such working tool just punches soil layers until the necessary depth of the well is reached.

The screw drilling rig has approximately the same design. However in this case instead of bailer for dredging the classical drill is used. Water to the well when drilling is in such a way pumped for softening of soil and its washing away. 

How to make with own hands shock and rope installation

Constructive parts of such burilka are:

Drilling in this case is made with use of the motor reducer. The rope on which end there is shock adaptation is reeled up on drum of such unit. Bailers for dredging in such installations can be used ball or lobe.

How to make ball bailer

It will be rather simple to manufacture such tool the hands. To be necessary for this purpose piece of pipe of the big section 1-1.2 m long with thickness of wall of 4-6 mm.

Also it will be necessary to prepare steel sphere which diameter has to be about a half of pipe diameter. This element will play bailer valve role in the subsequent.

If it is not possible to find metal sphere of the necessary sizes, it it is possible to make also with own hands. For this purpose it is necessary:

The ball bailer is made as follows:

The washer for the screw of the drilling rig should be used with opening with a diameter slightly less than diameter of sphere. In upper part of the body of bailer at the final stage it is necessary to cut window. Through it in the subsequent the tool can be cleaned from the earth which has jammed inside.

The limiter of the movement of sphere is done as follows:

Production of lobe bailer

If desired for drum small-sized boring set it is possible to manufacture also such working tool. Do lobe bailer approximately on such technology:

At the final stage the design made of piece in 15 cm densely is inserted into the body of bailer and fixed by bolt.

 It is simpler to make lobe shock shell for the drilling rig, thus, than ball. However such designs are considered nevertheless as less reliable. Ball bailers usually serve much longer lobe.

Production of tower tripod

It is also simpler to make this constructive part of self-made burilka of everything of pipes. In this case:

Too high the tripod pyramid for bailer does not need to be done. It has been noticed that the overall performance of shock and rope installation from it does not increase. It is considered that the tripod in this case has to tower over the bailer established vertically it is no more than on meter.

How to make the screw hydroelectric power plant

The framework of screw self-made compact installation is usually also made of round or profile thick wall pipe. Fasten among themselves support elements for the screw at production with the hands, as well as in the first case, to use of the inverter.

The drill for such installation can cook in different ways. But it is the simplest to make such adaptation with use of pipes and steel corner.

What materials will be necessary for production of drill

To make the working instrument of screw boring installation with own hands, it will be necessary to prepare:

The swivel call the special adaptation which is intermediate member between motionless sleeve for water supply and the rotating boring column. Independently this element will be to make is pretty problematic. The swivel is the simplest to buy ready or to order from the turner.

Assembly instruction of hydraulic drill

Assemble the working tool of the screw hydroelectric power plant as follows:

The lower part of the corner of groove formed at scrap of corners needs to be rounded. Further it will provide easy access of water to the well during the installation work. In order that the drill did not cling keen edges to soil at raising outside from the well, regiments of corners from above need also to be cut off at a small angle.

At the next stage on the prepared pieces of pipes of 2 m it is necessary to cut thread. This operation, of course, can be executed and independently. But it is better to charge nevertheless laborious work on threading to the turner.

Further it will be necessary to put on the drill made at the previous stage of corners one of pipes and to weld it. Further it is necessary to make edges for tool ocentrovka. With such addition it will be simpler to drill the well further. Make ocentrovochny edges as follows:

How to make support and to collect installation

The framework of screw installation is done approximately as follows;

Rod posts of framework when mounting installation fix exactly in the middle of the parties of the rectangular basis. It in the subsequent will provide stability of tower. Further establish collected thus figurative design on the place of drilling of the well. On the top binding of tower mount the electric winch. On the carriage install the motor reducer.

Then connect pump hose, the motor and drill via the swivel. The water pump for screw burilka it is necessary to use rather powerful. Otherwise in the subsequent the drill will begin to get stuck in soil. After assembly of installation it is possible to connect all necessary equipment to the power supply network and to start actually performance of work on hydrodrilling of the well with use of standard technology.
