Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an automatic filling device for blasting boreholes in engineering blasting, belonging to the field of engineering blasting. Background Technology

[0002] In my country, blasting operations are involved in numerous industries, and engineering blasting technology is increasingly widely applied in quarries, mines, bridges, tunnels, and demolition. During blasting operations, the boreholes need to be plugged after the explosive charge is loaded, and the quality of this plugging directly affects the blasting effect. If the plugging is too soft, too much explosive energy will dissipate into the air, leading to borehole punching, poor blasting results, and a high rate of large fragments. Furthermore, good borehole plugging quality can, to some extent, reduce explosive consumption per unit volume.

[0003] Currently, in most blasting and tamping operations, workers need to manually or with the aid of some tools to tamp the blast holes. Because the tamping process is labor-intensive and inefficient, it affects the quality of the tamping. This invention discloses a device that can solve the problems of versatility, high efficiency, and economy in automatically tamping blast holes in engineering blasting. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In this embodiment, the diameter of the outer shell 1 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the drill hole, and the head has an annular bayonet.

[0007] In this embodiment, the tube cover 4 is connected to the edge of the filling port 7 via a hinge 5.

[0008] The baffle 3 described in this embodiment has a vent 31 inside.

[0009] In this embodiment, the cam I 10 is fitted onto the transmission rod 6; the locking device includes two screws 17 and two sliders I 18. After the screws 17 are tightened, the gap width between the two sliders I 18 is smaller than the width of the transmission rod 6, which can ensure that the locking device can lock the transmission rod.

[0010] In this embodiment, the cam II 11 is mounted on the transmission rod 6 via an internal hexagonal ball bearing 20, and the entire assembly formed by the two can slide freely on the transmission rod 6.

[0011] The transmission bearing assembly 13 described in this embodiment includes transmission bearing I 22, transmission gear 23, transmission bearing II 24, and hexagonal socket transmission bearing 25. These components are connected to a connecting device 21. Transmission bearing I 22, transmission gear 23, transmission bearing II 24, and hexagonal socket transmission bearing 25 are nested and fixed to the connecting device 21. The inner diameter of the connecting device 21 is larger than that of the transmission rod 6. The diameters of transmission bearing I 22 and transmission bearing II 24 are the same as the inner diameter of the bearing assembly housing, ensuring a proper fit. The hexagonal socket transmission bearing 25 is a one-way hexagonal ball bearing, embedded and fixed to the groove at the tail of the connecting device 21.

During operation, the stemming tube 2 is inserted into the device through the filling port 7. The air pressure rod 9 retracts, squeezing the baffle 3 through the transmission rod 6 to push the stemming tube to the head, and continues to apply pressure... The clay is squeezed out of the tube opening. At this time, the power rod 14 and the power wheel 12 apply external rotational power to the cam I 10 and cam II 11 through the transmission bearing assembly 13, and together with the spring 15, generate a forward pulse thrust to compact the clay. After that, the pneumatic rod 9 stretches to pull the clay tube 2 to the filling port 7.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the content described. Example 1

[0043] An automatic filling device for blasting boreholes includes a housing 1, a mud pipe 2, a baffle 3, a casing cover 4, a transmission rod 6, a filling port 7, a front bearing assembly 8, a pneumatic rod 9, a cam I 10, a cam II 11, a drive wheel 12, a transmission bearing assembly 13, a drive rod 14, a spring 15, a positioning bearing 16, and a vent 31. The housing 1 has a filling port 7 at its upper part, the size of which corresponds to the mud pipe 2. The mud pipe 2 is inserted into the housing 1 through the filling port 7. The top of the mud pipe 2 is equipped with a baffle 3, the top of which is connected to the transmission rod 6. A casing cover is located at the filling port 7. 4; The power mechanism is connected to the transmission rod 6 via the power rod 14, power wheel 12, transmission bearing assembly 13, cam I 10, and cam II 11, providing rotational power to the transmission rod 6; the upper end of the pneumatic rod 9 is connected to the outer shell of the transmission bearing assembly 13, and the lower end is connected to the outer shell 1, providing power for the up-and-down movement of the transmission rod 6; the front bearing assembly 8 is located at one end of the filling port 7, is integrally embedded and fixed to the tail of the outer shell 1, and is nested on the transmission rod 6 through the internal linear bearing 27; the two ends of the spring 15 are fixed to the outer shell of the transmission bearing assembly and the positioning bearing 16, respectively. The diameter of the outer shell 1 is slightly smaller than the drilling diameter, and the head has an annular snap; the tube cover 4 is connected to the edge of the filling port 7 via a hinge 5; the baffle 3 has a vent 31 inside.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cam I 10 is fitted onto the transmission rod 6. The locking device includes two screws 17 and two sliders I 18. After the screws 17 are tightened, the gap width between the two sliders I 18 is smaller than the width of the transmission rod 6, ensuring that the locking device can lock the transmission rod in place. Figure 3 As shown.

[0045] The cam II 1 is mounted on the transmission rod 6 via an internal hexagonal ball bearing 20, and the entire assembly can slide freely on the transmission rod 6. Its tail is fixed to one end of the connecting device 21 by a screw II 19. Figure 4 As shown.

[0046] The transmission bearing assembly 13 includes transmission bearing I 22, transmission gear 23, transmission bearing II 24, and hexagonal socket transmission bearing 25, along with a connecting device 21. Transmission bearing I 22, transmission gear 23, transmission bearing II 24, and hexagonal socket transmission bearing 25 are nested and fixed to the connecting device 21. The inner diameter of the connecting device 21 is larger than that of the transmission rod 6. The diameters of transmission bearing I 22 and transmission bearing II 24 are the same as the inner diameter of the bearing assembly housing, ensuring a proper fit. The hexagonal socket transmission bearing 25 is a one-way hexagonal ball bearing, embedded and fixed to the groove at the tail of the connecting device 21. The entire rear bearing assembly, except for the positioning bearing 16 and spring 15, is fitted onto the transmission rod 6 via the hexagonal ball bearing 20 and the hexagonal socket transmission bearing 25, allowing free sliding on its upper part. The spring 15 is fixed to the rear bearing assembly housing. Figure 7 As shown.

[0047] The positioning bearing 16 includes a ball bearing II 28, a slider II 29, and a tapered screw 30. One end of the screw is fixed by a spring 15, and the entire bearing is fitted onto the tail of the transmission rod 6. Tightening the tapered screw 30 compresses the slider II 29, thereby fixing the bearing to the tail of the transmission rod 6. The structure is as follows. Figure 8 As shown.

[0048] The front bearing assembly 8 comprises a ball bearing I 26 and a linear bearing 27. The ball bearing I 26 is a one-way bearing, and its rotation is opposite to that of the internal hexagonal ball bearing 20 and the internal hexagonal drive bearing 25. That is, if the ball bearing I 26 can only rotate clockwise, then the internal hexagonal ball bearing 20 and the internal hexagonal drive bearing 25 can only rotate counterclockwise. If the ball bearing I 26 rotates clockwise, then the internal hexagonal ball bearing 20 and the internal hexagonal drive bearing 25 will not rotate, transmitting power to the transmission rod 6. The structure of the front bearing assembly 8 is as follows: Figure 9 As shown.

[0049] The diameter of the central hole of the transmission device 21 is larger than that of the transmission rod 6, so no friction will be generated during the relative movement with the transmission rod; the bearings included in this device will not slide with the directly contacting parts except for the contact surface with the transmission rod 6.

[0050] The process of using the device described in this invention:

[0051] After the borehole is filled with propellant, the clay tube 2, filled with clay, is installed inside the device through the filling port 7 and pushed to the head of the device. Screw 17 is tightened to lock cam I 10 and transmission rod 6, and tapered screw 30 is tightened to lock the transmission rod 6 in place by the positioning bearing 16. The device head is then aligned with the borehole and inserted to the deepest point required for filling. At this point, the switch of the pneumatic rod 9 is turned on, extending the pneumatic rod to push the clay into the borehole. The external power unit is then turned on, transmitting rotational power to cam II 11 via the transmission bearing assembly 13. The rotation direction is opposite to that of ball bearing I 26. The transmission rod is locked and cannot rotate, cam I 10 cannot rotate, and cam II... 11. Rotate the surface of friction cam I 10. The two interact with each other and, together with spring 15 and positioning bearing 16, generate pulse thrust to compact the clay. At this point, the first tube of clay is filled. Then, the external power device generates the opposite rotational force, which acts on cam II 11 through transmission bearing assembly 13. Since the rotation direction is opposite to the rotation direction of internal hexagonal ball bearing 20 and internal hexagonal transmission bearing 25, the bearing transmits the rotational force to transmission rod 6. Ball bearing I 26 will then rotate freely, and the power will be transmitted to baffle 3, causing baffle 3 to detach from the viscous clay. At this time, open the air pressure rod 9 to retract the air pressure rod. Since positioning bearing 16 is stuck on transmission rod 6, baffle 3 and empty clay tube 2 will be pulled out at the same time. Pull them to the filling port 7, take out the empty clay tube 2 and insert a new clay tube 2 filled with clay. Finally, pull the device outward by the length of a clay tube. Repeat the above operation until filling is complete.

[0052] The specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
