The invention discloses a waterway control
assembly and method for a
rope core drilling rig. The waterway control
assembly comprises a rotatable through-cable water connector, a waterway control valveset, a conventional water connector and a connecting pipeline. The waterway control valve set is an intercommunication-type four-way
pipe, corresponding three connecting openings are provided with two-way ball valves, the three two-way ball valves are opened and closed to control the connecting and disconnecting relation among the four connecting openings, and thus a waterway is controlled. The rotatable through-cable water connector comprises an end cover, a water sealing ring, a
retaining ring, a mandrel, a rotating sleeve, a
water pipe connector and a transition connector; the
tail end ofthe mandrel is provided with a groove for allowing the water sealing ring and the
retaining ring to be mounted in a spaced mode; the rotating sleeve is sleeved with the middle of the mandrel; and thewater
pipe connector radially extending is connected to the rotating sleeve in a penetrating mode. Thus, according to the waterway control
assembly and method, the structure is simple, operation is convenient, and the problems that in the prior art, the waterway control auxiliary time is long, and the labor intensity of workers and the personnel cost are high can be solved.
