Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of mining drilling rigs and relates to an automatic drill rod conveying system with a drill rod detection function. Background Art
[0002] Against the backdrop of the deepening promotion of the intelligent coal mine strategy, drilling rig automation, as the key to achieving less-manned or even unmanned underground operations, is leading the technological transformation of the coal industry. The traditional manual operation mode faces many challenges in the complex and harsh environment underground. Factors such as personnel fatigue and limited operating accuracy make it difficult to meet the dual urgent needs of efficient mining and inherent safety in modern coal mines. The application of automation technology in the field of drilling rigs provides an effective way to solve the above problems. By realizing the automatic operation of the drilling process and auxiliary processes, automation technology significantly reduces labor intensity, greatly improves operational safety, and breaks through the efficiency bottleneck of manual operation. It has become an inevitable choice for technological upgrading in the coal industry.
[0003] As one of the core systems of an automated drilling rig, the performance of the drill rod conveying system directly impacts the overall operational effectiveness of the rig. Currently, common drill rod conveying systems primarily consist of a main manipulator, a secondary manipulator, and a drill rod transporter. The secondary manipulator, typically a drill rod conveying manipulator, is primarily responsible for removing drill rods from the drill rod box and placing them into the drill rod transporter. The main manipulator, a key executive component of the drill rod conveying system, is responsible for delivering drill rods from the drill rod transporter and other devices to the main drilling rig to ensure smooth drilling operations. The drill rod transporter serves as a transitional component between the two manipulators, aligning and transferring drill rods to the main manipulator or gantry.
[0004] However, the existing drill pipe conveying system still has many deficiencies in meeting the inclination adjustment requirements of full-section working conditions and is difficult to meet actual production needs. This is specifically reflected in the following aspects:
[0005] First, the structure of the main manipulator, separated from the frame, presents significant flaws. During drilling, the frame is tilted, while the drill rod is typically initially horizontal. This requires the manipulator to frequently switch between horizontal and tilted positions, making the tilt joints susceptible to interference with other components. This complicates the structure and sensor positioning system, increasing the risk of equipment failure and maintenance costs.
[0006] Secondly, the secondary manipulator utilizes a rectangular jointed manipulator with translational joints, which can only move the drill rod horizontally or vertically. This limitation significantly restricts the subsequent mechanisms of the drill rod conveying system and the overall layout of the drilling rig. In particular, the rectangular jointed manipulator can only move vertically up and down, making it difficult for the gripping manipulator to move the drill rod across essential drilling rig components such as the lifting sleeve, thus affecting the rig's operational efficiency and flexibility.
[0007] Third, existing drill pipe transporters suffer from a limited range of motion. Currently, drill pipe transporters primarily offer two modes of motion: translation and rotation. Both modes operate within the horizontal plane and are limited to clamping the ends of horizontally placed drill pipes to align them with the drill pipe box or rack. However, due to the lack of a vertical drill pipe securing mechanism, drill pipe transporters are unable to achieve high-angle motion, limiting the drilling rig's ability to operate at varying inclinations.
[0008] Fourthly, an imperfect sensor system is also a major issue with existing drill rod conveying systems. When conveying drill rods, an automated drill rig sequentially passes through an auxiliary manipulator, a drill rod transporter, and finally a main manipulator. However, existing technology only monitors the displacement or specific positions of the main and auxiliary manipulators, lacking real-time monitoring of the drill rod's position. This can easily lead to misjudgment of the drill rod's status, potentially causing interference or even damage to the mechanism, seriously impacting the rig's operational safety and construction efficiency.
[0009] In summary, due to the limitations of the main manipulator, auxiliary manipulator, and drill rod transporter, the existing automatic drilling rigs have a limited drilling inclination range, making it difficult to meet the requirements of full-section drilling conditions. Furthermore, the imperfect sensor system also poses certain safety risks during the drill rod transportation process. Therefore, developing a drill rod transportation system that can adapt to full-section drilling conditions and has a more comprehensive sensor system is of great practical significance.

[0063] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0064] (1) The present invention integrates most of the functions of the main manipulator by connecting the main rotating joint and the main telescopic joint and integrating them with the frame to keep the inclination angles of the two always consistent, simplifying the manipulator's movements and reducing the possibility of interference with other components. The main rotating joint can satisfy the rotation of the main manipulator at a certain angle, which means that any drill rod within this angle range can be grasped by the main manipulator; in addition, combined with the telescopic effect of the main telescopic joint, the grasping range of the main manipulator continues to expand within the original rotation angle range, thereby achieving a wider range of applicability.
[0065] (2) By setting a secondary rotating joint with a limited angle, the auxiliary manipulator can swing in the vertical plane. This enables the auxiliary manipulator to transport drill rods across components such as the attitude adjustment device, thereby allowing the transporter to be set on the attitude adjustment device at a position on the opposite side of the drill rod box. This improvement significantly improves the flexibility of the arrangement of the drill rod conveying system suitable for full-section drilling, allowing the drilling rig to adapt to more complex downhole environments and drilling requirements. Since the auxiliary manipulator can swing in the vertical plane, the drilling rig is no longer limited to the traditional manipulator's movement mode of only being able to move straight up and down when drilling in the full section and full inclination range. This greatly increases the drilling inclination range of the drilling rig and improves the adaptability and operating efficiency of the drilling rig.
[0066] (3) A rotator is used to drive the drill rod transporter and the frame to rotate separately, thereby realizing a wide range of inclination adjustment of the drill rod transporter in the vertical plane.
[0067] Expand the inclination range of drilling. Due to design defects, the existing drill pipe transporter can only move in the horizontal plane, which limits the inclination range of drilling for the automatic drilling rig and makes it difficult to expand to large-angle drilling conditions. The inclination-adjustable drill pipe transport mechanism of the present invention realizes asynchronous rotation adjustment of the inclination between the frame and the transporter through an asynchronous rotation device. The inclination rotator can adjust the inclination of the frame, and the transporter rotator can adjust the inclination of the transporter. The two cooperate with each other to enable the transporter to adjust the inclination over a wide range in the vertical plane. This enables the automatic drilling rig to adapt to the needs of drilling with larger inclination angles, breaking through previous technical limitations, meeting the drilling operations under more complex geological conditions, and broadening the application scenarios of the automatic drilling rig.
[0068] Avoid interference between components and achieve negative high-angle drilling. The position layout of the transporter, manipulator and frame in the prior art is unreasonable. When adjusting the inclination angle of the drill pipe conveying manipulator, especially under negative inclination conditions, it will interfere with the transporter, resulting in the inability of existing automatic drilling rigs to construct negative high-angle drilling. The reasonable design of the asynchronous rotation device in the present invention effectively avoids this problem. By sequentially connecting the inclination rotator, the frame connecting plate, the rotary transition plate, the lifting sleeve and other components, the transporter and the frame can independently adjust the inclination. Under negative inclination conditions, the transporter can be adjusted to a suitable inclination as needed without interfering with other components on the rotary platform, thereby realizing the construction of negative high-angle drilling and further improving the operating capacity of the automatic drilling rig.
[0069] Improve automation and intelligence. This invention makes the drilling process more automated. Combined with automated drilling technology, it can achieve fully automatic operation of loading and unloading drill rods, drilling, and posture adjustment, further reducing labor intensity, improving operation safety and efficiency, and providing strong support for the intelligent construction of coal mines.
[0070] (4) The drill rod in transit is fixed by clamping the two ends of the drill rod in combination with pressing the top, thereby preventing the drill rod from falling during the inclination adjustment. Facilitating the loading and unloading of the drill rod: When the transporter is in the state of waiting to load or remove the drill rod (other clamping mechanisms have already clamped the drill rod), the clamping cylinder drives the pressure plate to rotate upward and open, and the sliding cylinder drives the slider to move outward, thereby expanding the internal space of the transporter and reducing obstacles during the loading and unloading process. Enhancing the stability of the drill rod fixation: By clamping the two ends of the drill rod by the slider and pressing the top by the pressure plate, the drill rod is fixed from multiple directions, which greatly enhances the stability of the drill rod during transportation and effectively avoids problems caused by shaking, deviation or even falling of the drill rod during transportation. Adapting to large-angle working conditions: The above-mentioned fixing method can ensure that the drill rod remains stable under large-angle working conditions, preventing the drill rod from falling during inclination adjustment, and expanding the application range and adaptability of the automatic drilling rig.
[0071] (5) The detection sensor on the auxiliary manipulator can directly sense whether there is a drill rod in the clamp through the trigger column design in the clamp and generate an accurate signal. This function provides key support for the automation of drill rod transportation, ensuring that the auxiliary manipulator moves accurately when grabbing and releasing the drill rod. In complex operating environments, the detection sensor effectively reduces human errors and improves operational safety through real-time feedback. Its simple structure and reliable performance not only reduce maintenance costs, but also enhance the overall stability and durability of the equipment. By cooperating with subsequent systems, the detection sensor lays the foundation for the continuity of drill rod circulation and is an indispensable part of the technical solution.
[0072] (6) The judgment sensor is located below the bottom plate of the drill rod transporter. Through the signaling column and spring reset design, it accurately detects whether there is a drill rod in the transporter and generates a connection signal. This function provides important information for the automatic control of drill rod transportation, ensuring that the status of the drill rod is monitored in real time. Working in conjunction with the detection sensor of the auxiliary manipulator, the judgment sensor helps the system accurately track the flow path of the drill rod, thereby improving transportation efficiency and safety. The spring reset design avoids false triggering when there is no drill rod, ensuring the high reliability of the sensor. The application of this sensor significantly optimizes the automation process of drill rod transportation and provides stable support for subsequent drilling operations.
[0073] (7) The rotation sensor of the main manipulator is installed on the rotating seat. Through the trigger ring design, the rotation direction and position are determined according to the duration and on-off status of the signal. This function enables the main manipulator to accurately control the rotation movement and provide predictive information for drilling control. Combined with the judgment sensor of the drill rod transporter, the rotation sensor can also sense the flow direction of the drill rod in the main manipulator, further optimizing the control strategy of the drilling process. Its precise feedback reduces the possibility of mechanical interference and improves the operating efficiency and safety of the equipment. This design not only reflects the systematic nature of the technical solution, but also significantly improves the overall coordination and intelligence level of drill rod transportation and drilling operations.
[0074] Through the synergistic effect of the above three sensors, the present invention realizes efficient automation from perception to control during the drill rod transportation process, providing a strong guarantee for safety and efficiency in complex working environments.

The support block 802, axial clamping block, and sliding cylinder 806 are all directly or indirectly mounted on base plate 801, ensuring the integrity and stability of the drill pipe transporter structure and enabling the various components to work together to transport and secure the drill pipes.
[0110] At least two support blocks 802 are provided on the base plate 801, and the upper part of the support block 802 is provided with a groove matching the outer diameter of the drill pipe for supporting the drill pipe. In some embodiments of the present invention, there are preferably two support blocks 802. When the drill pipe is placed in the drill pipe transporter, the drill pipe can be placed stably in the groove of the support block 802. The support block 802 bears the main weight of the drill pipe, provides reliable support for the drill pipe, and ensures that the drill pipe will not sink or shake due to its own weight during transportation. The axial clamping block is provided on the base plate 801 and is located on both sides of the support block 802. The axial clamping block presses and fixes the drill pipe axially; the axial clamping block includes at least one slider 805 slidably arranged on the base plate 801. In some embodiments of the present invention, the axial compression blocks on both sides of the support block 802 are composed of a fixed block and a slider 805. The slider 805 on one side slides on the bottom plate 801 to expand the internal space when placing or removing the drill rod, or to compress the drill rod against the fixed block on the other side. In other embodiments of the present invention, both axial compression blocks are sliders 805. The upper portion of the axial compression block is hingedly connected to a pressure plate 803 and a pressure cylinder 804, wherein the pressure plate 803 is located above the support block 802 and is rotatably connected to the upper portion of the axial compression block. The clamping cylinder 804 is located on the outside of the two axial clamping blocks. The clamping cylinder 804 drives the pressure plate 803 and is the power source for driving the pressure plate 803 to rotate. Through the telescopic movement of the clamping cylinder 804, power can be transmitted to the pressure plate 803, causing the pressure plate 803 to rotate according to a predetermined trajectory, achieving the action of tightening or loosening the drill rod until the drill rod is pressed against the support block 802. The pressure plate 803 applies pressure to the drill rod from the top, further limiting the movement of the drill rod in the vertical and horizontal directions, enhancing the stability of the drill rod fixation, and preventing the drill rod from falling during transportation. The precise control of the clamping cylinder 804 can ensure that the pressure plate 803 applies appropriate pressure to the drill rod, neither effectively fixing the drill rod due to too little pressure nor damaging the drill rod due to excessive pressure.
[0111] A sliding cylinder 806 is installed at the bottom of base plate 801. Connected to slider 805, it acts as the power unit that drives slider 805 along the length of base plate 801. This drives slider 805 toward the center of base plate 801, clamping the drill rod and limiting its axial movement. Working together with support block 802 and pressure plate 803, this provides multi-directional securement of the drill rod. The stable operation of sliding cylinder 806 precisely controls the position and speed of slider 805, ensuring smooth loading, unloading, and securing of the drill rod, and guaranteeing its stability during transport.
[0112] When the drill rod transporter is waiting to load or remove a drill rod (other clamping mechanisms have already firmly clamped the drill rod), the clamping cylinder 804 drives the pressure plate 803, which rotates and opens upward, and the sliding cylinder 806 drives the slider 805 to move outward, expanding the internal space to facilitate the loading or removal of the drill rod; after the drill rod is loaded or removed, the clamping cylinder 804 drives the pressure plate 803 to rotate back to the clamping position. When the drill rod is placed in the drill rod transporter and the drill rod transporter needs to be rotated or moved, the clamping cylinder 804 drives the pressure plate 803 to press the drill rod, and the sliding cylinder 806 drives the slider 805 to move toward the center to keep the drill rod inside stable and not easy to fall.

[0165] Example 2:
[0166] This embodiment further defines the main telescopic joint as comprising a vertically arranged main outer cylinder 907 and a main inner cylinder 908. The main outer cylinder 907 is connected to the main rotating shaft 905, the main inner cylinder 908 is slidably connected to the interior of the main outer cylinder 907, and the main gripper assembly is connected to the bottom of the main inner cylinder 908. During implementation, the main inner cylinder 908 and the main outer cylinder 907 of the present invention maintain relative sliding in the axial direction, with the sliding direction being perpendicular to the axis of the main rotating shaft 905 in the main rotating joint, thereby extending the radius of the original main manipulator 9 and expanding the grasping range of the main manipulator 9. In addition, during installation, the main inner cylinder 908 and the main outer cylinder 907 should be provided with structures such as limit rings or retaining rings to ensure that the main inner cylinder 908 does not slide outside the main outer cylinder 907.
[0167] Furthermore, the main outer cylinder 907 is detachably connected to the main rotating shaft 905 via a flange. During implementation, the main telescopic joint in the present invention is suspended at one end of the main rotating shaft 905. In addition to the weight of the main clamping jaw assembly, sufficient connection strength is required between the main rotating shaft 905 and the main outer cylinder 907. Flange connection is to first fix two pipes, pipe fittings or equipment on a flange plate, add a flange gasket between the two flange plates, and fasten them together with bolts to complete the connection. Flange connection is an important connection method for pipeline construction. Flange connection is easy to use and can withstand greater pressure. Therefore, the present invention meets the connection strength between the main rotating shaft 905 and the main outer cylinder 907 through flange connection, and the flange connection is connected by multiple bolts, so that the main rotating shaft 905 and the main outer cylinder 907 can be disassembled to facilitate the later inspection or replacement of various components.
[0168] In addition, the main outer cylinder 907 and the main inner cylinder 908 in the present invention are both hollow cylindrical structures, which reduces the weight of the main telescopic joint to a certain extent and further ensures the connection strength between the main outer cylinder 907 and the main rotating shaft 905.
[0169] Furthermore, the main telescopic joint also includes a main telescopic oil cylinder 906, which is fixed to the top of the main outer cylinder 907. The main inner cylinder 908 is connected to the output end of the main telescopic oil cylinder 906. The present invention uses the main telescopic oil cylinder 906 to intelligently control the relative movement between the main outer cylinder 907 and the main inner cylinder 908, so that the main clamping jaw assembly located at the bottom of the main inner cylinder 908 can stop at a set position and perform a grasping action. The extension and contraction process of the main telescopic oil cylinder 906 is the distance that the main outer cylinder 907 and the main inner cylinder 908 can move relative to each other, and this distance should be less than the maximum displacement between the main outer cylinder 907 and the main inner cylinder 908 to prevent collision between the main outer cylinder 907 and the main inner cylinder 908.
[0170] Furthermore, the main clamping jaw assembly includes a main clamping jaw 910 and a main clamping cylinder 909. The main clamping cylinder 909 is fixed to the lower portion of the main inner tube 908. The main clamping jaw 910 is fixed to the main clamping cylinder 909 and is clamped or released under the drive of the main clamping cylinder 909. During operation, after the main rotating joint drives the main clamping jaw 910 to rotate to a set angle, the main telescopic joint's telescopic function extends the main clamping jaw 910 to a specified position. Finally, the main clamping cylinder 909 executes the grasping command to complete the grasping process. The main telescopic joint then controls the main clamping jaw 910 to retract. After the main rotating joint drives the main telescopic joint and the main clamping jaw 910 to rotate to the specified position, the main clamping cylinder 909 executes the release command to release the grasped drill rod to the specified position.
[0171] Example 3:
[0172] Based on Figure 2 As shown, the frame-mounted main manipulator 9 provided by the present invention also includes a sliding joint, and the rotating seat 903 is fixed to the sliding joint to drive the overall horizontal displacement of the main manipulator 9. The difference from Example 2 is that this embodiment adds a sliding joint, while the remaining main rotating joints and main telescopic joints remain the same as Example 2.
[0173] As mentioned above, the combination of the main rotating joint and the main telescopic joint enables the main manipulator 9 to expand the grasping range. The sliding joint in this embodiment applies a horizontal displacement function to the main manipulator 9, further expanding the grasping range of the main manipulator 9.
[0174] Furthermore, the sliding joint includes a fixed seat 901 and a connecting arm 911. The fixed seat 901 is connected to the frame 11 and is equipped with a horizontally arranged main slide rail. The bottom of the connecting arm 911 is provided with a sliding groove that cooperates with the main slide rail. The rotating seat 903 in the main rotating joint is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 911. During implementation, the cooperation between the rail and the sliding groove limits the horizontal displacement between the connecting arm 911 and the fixed seat 901, that is, determines the direction and amount of horizontal displacement of the connecting arm 911. The main rotating joint and the main telescopic joint in the present invention are both fixed to the connecting arm 911. Therefore, any displacement of the connecting arm 911 will cause the entire main manipulator 9 to move. The specific horizontal displacement direction needs to be determined based on the initial position of the drill rod, the required transport position, and the initial position of the main manipulator 9 in the actual situation. In other words, the rail in the sliding joint in the present invention can be set in any direction to ensure that the main manipulator 9 can effectively complete the grasping process.
[0175] In addition, in Example 3, it is mentioned that the main telescopic joint is suspended at one end of the main rotating shaft 905, that is, the connecting arm 911 also needs to assume the supporting role of the main manipulator 9. Therefore, according to the principle of leverage, without interfering with the normal extension and contraction of the main telescopic joint, there should be sufficient connection area between the connecting arm 911 and the rotating base 903, and the distance between the connecting arm 911 and the main telescopic joint should be reduced as much as possible to ensure sufficient connection strength between the two, so as to avoid the problem of damage to the main rotating shaft 905 due to excessive suspension of the main telescopic joint. Similarly, the rotating base 903 should also have sufficient covering area for the main rotating shaft 905, and distribute the gravity of the main telescopic joint and the main clamping jaw assembly to each part of the rotating base 903 through the transmission shaft, and then transmit it as a whole to the fixed base 901 through the connecting arm 911.
[0176] Furthermore, the sliding joint also includes a sliding oil cylinder 912, one end of which is fixed to the fixed seat 901, and the other end is connected to the connecting arm 911, so that the connecting arm 911 slides along the track. The present invention uses the sliding oil cylinder 912 to intelligently control the relative displacement between the connecting arm 911 and the fixed seat 901, so that the main manipulator 9 can stop at a set position and perform a grasping action. The displacement process of the sliding oil cylinder 912 is the distance that the connecting arm 911 and the fixed seat 901 can move relative to each other, and this distance should be less than the maximum displacement between the connecting arm 911 and the fixed seat 901 to prevent collision between the connecting arm 911 and the fixed seat 901.
[0177] See also Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the lifting joint and the auxiliary rotation joint are connected via a crossbeam 603 . The lifting joint is connected below the crossbeam 603 , and the auxiliary rotation joint is connected to the side of the crossbeam 603 .
[0178] The lifting joint includes a lifting cylinder 601 and a lifting outer cylinder 602 which are connected to each other. The lifting outer cylinder 602 is installed in a sleeve arrangement with the lifting inner cylinder below the beam 603. The lifting outer cylinder 602 and the lifting inner cylinder form a lifting pair. The lifting cylinder 601 drives the lifting pair to perform lifting motion.
[0179] The secondary rotating joint includes a secondary rotating driver 604 connected to the beam 603 and a secondary rotating shaft 605 connected to the secondary rotating driver 604. The secondary rotating shaft 605 rotates under the drive of the secondary rotating driver 604; the end of the secondary rotating shaft 605 away from the beam 603 is connected to the secondary telescopic joint. The secondary rotating shaft 605 rotates, driving the secondary telescopic joint and the secondary clamp 609 to swing.
[0180] The secondary telescopic joint includes a secondary telescopic oil cylinder 606 connected to the secondary rotating shaft 605. The secondary outer cylinder 607 and the secondary inner cylinder 608 are connected to the lower part of the secondary telescopic oil cylinder 606. The secondary inner cylinder 608 is inserted into the secondary outer cylinder 607 to form a telescopic joint, which performs telescopic movement under the drive of the secondary telescopic oil cylinder 606.
[0181] The auxiliary rotating shaft 605 is installed in the inner cavity of the beam 603. The inner cavity of the beam 603 is provided with an arc groove. The outer side of the auxiliary rotating shaft 605 is provided with a protrusion. When the auxiliary rotating shaft 605 rotates, the protrusion slides circumferentially in the arc groove to limit the rotation of the auxiliary rotating shaft 605.
[0182] A side of the auxiliary clamping jaw 609 close to the telescopic unit is connected to an auxiliary clamping oil cylinder 610 , and the auxiliary clamping jaw 609 is clamped or released under the drive of the auxiliary clamping oil cylinder 610 .
[0183] The present invention achieves vertical swinging of the auxiliary manipulator 6 by providing a secondary rotational joint with a defined angle. This allows the manipulator to transport drill pipe across components such as the attitude adjustment device, thereby allowing the transporter to be positioned on the attitude adjustment device on the opposite side of the drill pipe box. This improvement significantly increases the flexibility of the drill pipe transportation system layout for full-face drilling, enabling the drilling rig to adapt to more complex downhole environments and drilling requirements.
[0184] Example 4:
[0185] See also Figures 8 to 12 As shown, the asynchronous rotation device includes a lifting sleeve 705, a transporter rotator 709, an inclination rotator 710, a rotation transition plate 712 and a frame connecting plate 713. The frame 11 and the rotating platform 702 are connected in sequence through the inclination rotator 710, the frame connecting plate 713, the rotation transition plate 712 and the lifting sleeve 705; wherein, the inclination rotator 710 is rotationally connected to the frame 11, and the drill rod transporter is rotationally connected to the rotation transition plate 712 through the transporter rotator 709, and the inclination angle between the frame 11 and the drill rod transporter is asynchronously rotated and adjusted through the inclination rotator 710 and the transporter rotator 709.
[0186] The lifting sleeve 705 is a connector for installing the transporter rotator 709, the tilt rotator 710, the rotary transition plate 712 and the frame connecting plate 713. It includes a cavity enclosed by two side plates 70501 and a top cover plate. Sleeves 70502 are provided at both ends of the side plates 70501, and a connecting cylinder 70503 is provided on the side plates 70501. Two lifting columns 704 are relatively provided on the rotary platform 702, and a lifting cylinder 706 is provided between the two lifting columns 704. The cavity The lifting cylinder 706 of the rotating platform 702 is installed inside, and one end of the lifting cylinder 706 is connected to the lifting sleeve 705 by a pin shaft or the like, and the other end is fixedly installed on the rotating platform 702, thereby indirectly installing the lifting sleeve 705 on the rotating platform 702. Driven by the lifting cylinder 706, the lifting sleeve 705 moves up and down along the lifting column 704; the sleeve 70502 is sleeved on the lifting column 704 of the rotating platform 702, and a rotating transition plate 712 is installed on the connecting cylinder 70503.
[0187] The connecting tube 70503 is located on the side of the lifting sleeve 705 facing the frame 11, and a flange is provided on the connecting tube 70503; the rotary transition plate 712 is disc-shaped, including three sets of flanges arranged side by side, the inner flange is connected to the flange of the connecting tube 70503, and the two sets of outer flanges are used to install the transporter rotator 709 and the frame connecting plate 713 respectively.
[0188] The transporter rotator 709 is a driving element for adjusting the inclination of the drill pipe transporter. The transporter rotator 709 includes a first fixed ring and a first rotating ring disposed thereon. The first fixed ring is bolted to the flange of the rotating transition plate 712, thereby indirectly fixing the rotating transition plate 712 to the lifting sleeve 705. The first rotating ring is fixedly connected to the first outer shell, and the drill pipe transporter is mounted on top of the first outer shell. The inclination of the drill pipe transporter is adjusted by rotating the first rotating ring. In some embodiments of the present invention, the transporter rotator 709 is preferably a worm gear reducer, with the first rotating ring being the inner ring and the first fixed ring being the outer ring. The outer side of the outer ring is a worm wheel, which is driven by the worm.
[0189] The frame connecting plate 713 is disc-shaped and includes two sets of flanges connected to each other. The two sets of flanges are respectively connected to the flange of the rotary transition plate 712 and the inclination rotator 710.
[0190] The inclination rotator 710 includes a second fixed ring and a second rotating ring arranged thereon, and the second fixed ring is connected to the flange of the frame connecting plate 713; the second rotating ring is fixedly connected to the second outer shell, and the frame 11 is installed on the second outer shell. The rotation of the second rotating ring drives the frame 11 to rotate in a circle to adjust the inclination angle of the frame 11; the inclination rotator 710 is similar to the transporter rotator 709, the second rotating ring is the inner ring, and the second fixed ring is the outer ring.
[0191] The asynchronous rotation principle of the drill rod transfer mechanism of the present invention is as follows:
[0192] The first fixing ring of the transporter rotator 709 is bolted to the flange of the rotary transition plate 712, thereby indirectly securing the rotary transition plate 712 to the lifting sleeve 705. The inner ring of the transporter rotator 709 is the first rotating ring and is fixedly connected to the first outer shell. The drill pipe transporter is fixedly mounted on the top of the outer shell, and its inclination angle can be adjusted as the outer shell rotates. Figure 1 The attitude adjustment device 7 is an actuator for adjusting the drilling inclination and azimuth of the frame 11.
[0193] Similar to the first fixed ring of the transporter rotator 709, the frame connecting plate 713 is fixedly mounted on the rotary transition plate 712, thereby indirectly fixing the frame connecting plate 713 to the lifting sleeve 705. The second rotating ring (preferably the inner ring) of the inclinometer rotator 710 is connected to the frame 11, and the second fixed ring (outer ring) is fixedly mounted on the frame connecting plate 713, thereby indirectly fixing the frame connecting plate 713 to the lifting sleeve 705.
[0194] Therefore, the first fixed ring of the transporter rotator 709 and the second fixed ring of the inclination rotator 710 are both fixedly mounted on the lifting sleeve 705, and the first rotating ring and the second rotating ring respectively carry the drill rod transporter and the frame 11, and are not restricted in rotation by the lifting sleeve 705, and can rotate independently and freely, thereby forming an asynchronous rotation device that drives the frame 11 and the drill rod transporter to adjust the inclination angles of the two components separately.

This drill rod conveying sensor group is applied to the drill rod conveying process in an automatic drilling rig. This system uses sensors installed on the auxiliary manipulator 6, the drill rod transporter 8, and the main manipulator 9 to accurately monitor the position and status of the drill rods, thereby improving the automation and safety of drill rod conveying.
[0197] 1. Detection sensor
[0198] The detection sensor 611 is installed on the auxiliary gripper 609 of the auxiliary manipulator 6 and is used to detect whether there is a drill rod in the auxiliary manipulator 6.
[0199] like Figure 13 As shown, the detection sensor 611 includes the following components:
[0200] Detection sensor mounting base 61101: radially fixed on one side of the clamping jaw to support other components.
[0201] Detection sensor spring 61102: set in the detection sensor mounting seat 61101 to provide elastic reset force.
[0202] Trigger column 61103: movably mounted in the detection sensor mounting seat 61101 through the detection sensor spring 61102, and in direct contact with the drill pipe.
[0203] Detection sensor body 61104: fixed in the detection sensor mounting base 61101, configured to detect whether the trigger column 61103 enters the coverage range.
[0204] The working principle is as follows: when there is no drill rod in the auxiliary gripper 609 of the auxiliary manipulator 6, the trigger column 61103 is initially positioned below the detection range of the detection sensor body 61104 under the elastic force of the detection sensor spring 61102, and the signal of the detection sensor body 61104 is disconnected;
[0205] When the auxiliary gripper 609 of the auxiliary manipulator 6 approaches and grips the drill rod, the trigger pin 61103 is pressed upward by the drill rod, overcoming the elastic force of the detection sensor spring 61102 and moving upward, entering the detection range of the detection sensor body 61104. The detection sensor body 61104 generates an on signal indicating the presence of the drill rod. When the auxiliary gripper 609 leaves the drill rod, the detection sensor spring 61102 resets the trigger pin 61103, and the signal from the detection sensor body 61104 is disconnected.
[0206] 2. Judgment sensor
[0207] The determination sensor is installed on the drill rod transporter 8 and is used to detect whether there is a drill rod in the drill rod transporter 8.
[0208] like Figure 14 As shown, the judgment sensor includes the following components:
[0209] Judgment sensor mounting base 808: fixed below the bottom plate 801 of the drill pipe transporter 8, serving as a support structure for the judgment sensor.
[0210] Judgment sensor body 807: fixed in the judgment sensor mounting seat 808, used to generate a detection signal.
[0211] Judgment sensor spring 810: set in the judgment sensor mounting seat 808 to provide a reset force.
[0212] The signal post 809 is movably mounted in the sensor mounting seat 808 through the sensor spring 810, and its top end penetrates the bottom plate for contacting the drill rod.
[0213] The working principle is as follows: when there is no drill rod in the drill rod transporter 8, under the elastic force of the sensor spring 810 of the signal post 809, the bottom end of the signal post 809 does not enter the sensing range of the sensor body 807, and the signal of the sensor body 807 is disconnected;
[0214] When the drill rod is placed in the drill rod transporter 8, the signal post 809 is pressed downward by the drill rod, overcoming the elastic force of the judgment sensor spring 810, and the bottom end enters the sensing range of the judgment sensor body 807, generating a connection signal;
[0215] When the drill rod is removed, the sensor spring 810 resets the signal post 809 and the signal is disconnected.
[0216] The top of the signal post 809 is designed to exceed the lowest point of the bottom plate where the drill rod is placed, so as to ensure that the signal post 809 can be pressed down when there is a drill rod in the drill rod transporter 8.
[0217] 3. Rotation sensor
[0218] The rotation sensor 904 is mounted on the main manipulator 9 and is used to detect the rotation position and direction of the main manipulator 9. The rotation shaft 905 and the main outer cylinder 907 in the main manipulator 9 are both rotating parts that are rotatably connected to the rotating base 903.
[0219] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the rotation sensor 904 includes the following components:
[0220] Rotation sensor mounting base 90401: fixed on the rotation base of the main manipulator 9 to support the sensor body.
[0221] Rotation sensor body 90402: fixed in the rotation sensor mounting base 90401 to detect the rotation signal.
[0222] Trigger ring 90403: fixed on the rotating shaft or outer cylinder of the main manipulator 9, rotates along with the rotating shaft or outer cylinder, interacts with the rotation sensor body 90402 to generate a corresponding signal, and the circumferential angle of the trigger ring 90403 covers the rotation angle range of the main manipulator 9.
[0223] The trigger ring 90403 includes two arc segments of different lengths and a gap. As the main manipulator 9 rotates, the rotation sensor body 90402 sequentially detects the arc segments and gap. Based on the duration and on / off state of the signal, it indicates the main manipulator's rotation direction and position. For example, a short arc segment corresponds to a short-duration on signal, a long arc segment corresponds to a long-duration on signal, and a gap corresponds to an off signal.
[0224] Specifically, in this embodiment, the arc segments of different arc lengths and one gap are respectively the first arc segment 90403a, the gap 90403b and the second arc segment 90403c, wherein the first arc segment 90403a is the arc segment close to the rotation sensor body 90402 in the initial state of the trigger ring 90403 (the main manipulator is defined as the initial state when it is on the side of the drill rod transporter), and the arc length of the first arc segment 90403a is smaller than the arc length of the second arc segment 90403c, thereby forming a signal change process of "off-short on-off-long on-off" in the process of the main manipulator rotating the drill rod transporter toward the frame.
[0225] During the actual operation of an automated drilling rig, after the main manipulator removes a drill rod from the drill rod transporter, the transporter must return to a horizontal position to receive the next drill rod. The main manipulator must leave a certain amount of space to avoid interfering with the transporter's movements. However, since the rig is still drilling, the main manipulator cannot be directly positioned within the gantry. Therefore, it must remain between the transporter and the gantry.
[0226] Therefore, the circumferential angle of the trigger ring is divided into two segments. After the main manipulator grabs the drill rod from the drill rod transporter, the rotation sensor body 90402 switches from the disconnected state to first detect the first arc segment 90403a, generating a short-circuit signal. It then enters the gap 90403b and switches from the disconnected state. After remaining in the disconnected state for a specified period of time or until a signal from the control system is received, it continues to rotate, with the rotation sensor body 90402 detecting the second arc segment 90403c and generating a long-circuit signal. The signal from the rotation sensor body 90402 is disconnected again, at which point the main manipulator delivers the drill rod into the rack.
[0227] Since the arc length of the first arc segment is smaller than that of the second arc segment, the control system can determine the direction of rotation of the manipulator by the change in the duration of the sensor signal connection "from short to long or from long to short", thereby recording the status of the main manipulator in the system.
[0228] Through the coordinated work of the above three sensors, the drill rod conveying sensor group of this embodiment can monitor the position and status of the drill rod between the auxiliary manipulator 6, the drill rod transporter 8 and the main manipulator 9 in real time, ensuring a smooth and safe conveying process.
[0229] Example 6:
[0230] This embodiment describes the specific application of the drill rod conveying sensor group in the drill rod automatic conveying system based on the embodiment 5. Figure 17 The axonometric view of the automatic drilling rig shown in detail illustrates the process of conveying the drill rods from the drill rod box 5 to the frame 11 and the process of recovering the drill rods from the frame to the drill rod box.
[0231] 1. The process of transporting drill rods from the drill rod box to the rack
[0232] Initial state: There are drill rods to be transported in the drill rod box, there are no drill rods in the auxiliary manipulator 6 and the drill rod transporter 8, the detection sensor 611 and the judgment sensor 807 signals are disconnected; the main manipulator 9 is in the ready position (initial position, ready to grab the drill rod in the drill rod transporter 8), and the rotation sensor 904 signal is disconnected.
[0233] Step 1: Grab the Drill Pipe
[0234] The auxiliary manipulator 6 approaches the drill rod from the drill rod box, the clamping claws clamp the drill rod, the trigger column 61103 is squeezed, and the detection sensor 611 signal is connected, indicating that the auxiliary manipulator 6 has grasped the drill rod.
[0235] Step 2: Transfer to the Drill Pipe Transporter
[0236] The auxiliary manipulator 6 places the drill rod into the drill rod transporter 8, the gripper is released, and the detection sensor 611 signal is disconnected. At the same time, the drill rod presses the signal post 809, and the sensor body 807 signal is connected, indicating that the drill rod has entered the drill rod transporter 8.
[0237] Step 3: Main robot grasps
[0238] The main manipulator 9 grabs the drill rod from the drill rod transporter 8. After the drill rod leaves, the signal post 809 is reset, and it is determined that the signal of the sensor body 807 is disconnected.
[0239] Step 4: Transport to the rack
[0240] The main manipulator 9 rotates toward the rack 11, and the rotation sensor 904 detects the trigger ring 90403. The signal changes in sequence to "off-short on-off-long on-off", indicating that the main manipulator 9 completes the rotation and sends the drill rod into the rack.
[0241] 2. The recovery process of drill rods from the rack to the drill rod box
[0242] Initial state: there is recovery space in the drill rod box, there are no drill rods in the auxiliary manipulator 6 and the drill rod transporter 8, the detection sensor 611 and the judgment sensor 807 signals are disconnected; the main manipulator 9 is located in the frame, and the rotation sensor 904 signal is disconnected.
[0243] Step 1: Main robot recovery
[0244] The main manipulator 9 rotates from the frame to the drill pipe transporter 8, and the signal of the rotation sensor 904 changes to "off-long on-off-short on-off", indicating that the rotation is completed.
[0245] Step 2: Place on the drill pipe transporter
[0246] The main manipulator 9 places the drill rod into the drill rod transporter 8, the signal post 809 is pressed, and the signal of the sensor 807 is connected.
[0247] Step 3: Secondary manipulator grasps
[0248] The auxiliary manipulator 6 grabs the drill rod from the drill rod transporter 8, the trigger column 61103 is squeezed, the detection sensor 611 signal is connected, and after the drill rod is removed, the judgment sensor 807 signal is disconnected.
[0249] Step 4: Put the drill box back
[0250] The auxiliary manipulator 6 puts the drill rod back into the drill rod box, the gripper is released, the signal of the detection sensor 611 is disconnected, and the recovery is completed.
[0251] Through the above process, this embodiment demonstrates how the drill rod conveying sensor group can realize the fully automated conveying and recovery of drill rods in an automatic drilling rig, thereby ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the operation.
[0252] Furthermore, when the main manipulator 9 rotates toward the frame 11, it can first rotate in the first arc segment, and the rotation sensor body 904 first connects the signal and then disconnects it. The matching relationship between the trigger ring 90403 and the rotation sensor body 904 stays at the gap 90403b between the two arc segments, and the signal changes to "off-short on-off", thereby causing the main manipulator 9 to pause rotating. While making room for the drill rod transporter to rotate, it also waits for the power head 10 and the clamp 12 in the frame to perform corresponding operations.
[0253] In another embodiment, the arc length of the first arc segment can also be set to be greater than the arc length of the second arc segment, so that a signal change process of "off-long on-off-short on-off" is formed during the rotation of the main manipulator 9 from the drill rod transporter to the frame.
[0254] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
