[0034] The PLC data transmits the received cylinder pressure signal, motor speed signal or feed mechanism position signal to the human-machine interface unit. The human-machine interface unit is used to display the drilling rig status information and set corresponding parameters. The remote control transmitter is used to send equipment action command signals. The remote control receiver inputs the equipment action command signals to the PLC controller. The PLC controller transmits the equipment action command signals to the digital output module and the analog output module to realize the action of the actuator. The data storage module is used to collect the operation data of the anchor drilling rig from the PLC controller.

[0035] In this embodiment, the model of the PLC control module is CX8050. The PLC controller integrates the actuator action program, the sensor information collection program, the full-automatic program and the communication program. The power supply and control signal of the PLC controller are DC24V. Its function is to realize the information collection and command issuance of the various mechanisms of the multi-arm automatic anchor cable drill rack. Specifically, if the state of the feed cylinder in the automatic drill rack actuator is to be lowered to the bottom, it is first necessary to collect the encoder value collected by the sensor collection module through the communication program, calculate the current height, determine the action direction of the feed cylinder, and then pass the action direction to the analog output module, control the feed cylinder action at a certain speed, and stop when the feed height is 0.

[0037] The model of the analog output module is EL2535, and its function is to realize the motion control of the feed cylinder and the drill box motor in the feed mechanism. Specifically, when the PLC controller receives the action command of the feed cylinder and the drill box motor or issues an action command itself, it judges the speed of the action or the given speed, so that the analog output module EL2535 outputs a 4-20mA current signal to control the opening amount of the solenoid valve, thereby realizing the rise and fall of the feed cylinder and the forward and reverse rotation of the drill box motor at a certain speed.

[0038] The sensor acquisition module includes an analog input terminal module model EL3048, a differential signal module model EL1512, and a communication module model EL6751.

After being connected to the differential signal module EL1512 in the sensor acquisition module, the PLC main controller reads and processes the signals; there is 1 multi-turn absolute encoder, which outputs analog signals and is connected to the communication module EL6751 in the sensor acquisition module, and the PLC main controller reads and converts the signals.

[0042] The main interface is used to display the basic information of each drilling rig. It is the main screen when the equipment is running. Its basic information includes the drilling rig number, current feed height, current total feed depth, automatic operation status, initial position status, number of rod connection times, number of rod removal times and fault information alarm.

[0047] A control method for a multi-arm automatic anchor cable drill frame for a coal mine comprises the following steps:

[0048] S1: Operation parameter setting: Use the remote control transmitter or external mouse and keyboard to switch the interface to the parameter configuration interface, and set the length of the drill rod and the depth of the drilling hole in the parameter configuration interface;

[0049] S2: Zeroing of multi-turn absolute encoder: Use the remote control transmitter to control the drill box to the bottom, and observe whether the feed height on the main interface is zero. The error value can be ±4cm; if not, use the encoder zeroing button on the remote control transmitter to perform zeroing;

[0050] S3: Initialization setting: Observe whether the initial position state of the main interface meets the equipment requirements. If so, no initialization is required. If not, switch to the status display interface and use the initialization button on the remote control transmitter to make each actuator reach the initial position state; the initial position state includes manipulator open, drill clamp open, swing arm retracted, drill rod magazine extended, rod removal mechanism extended, feed down to the bottom, drill box overflow open, and feed overflow open.

[0051] S4: Enter the automatic operation mode of the drilling rig: Start the automatic operation mode through the automatic process start flat button on the remote control transmitter. The automatic operation mode includes four small cycles, namely, grabbing the rod, connecting the rod, removing the rod, and releasing the rod. When the specified drilling depth is reached, the automatic operation mode stops and resets to the initial state;

[0052] S5: Enter the large cycle of automatic operation mode: After one automatic operation mode is completed, observe the main interface. If there is no fault and the initial position state is met, repeat step S4.

[0053] In step S4, the rod grabbing action refers to the manipulator grabbing the drill rod from the drill rod bin, swinging the arm to push the drill rod to the specified position, and the drill rod bin rotates to the next rod grabbing position; the rod connection includes 2 cycles, namely connecting the lower thread and connecting the upper thread. When connecting the rod, the lower thread is connected first. When connecting the thread, the drill box motor rotates forward, the feed cylinder rises, and the manipulator closes. When the drill box pressure reaches 15Mpa and the feed distance value is greater than 200mm, the lower thread is connected. When connecting the thread, the drill box motor rotates forward, the feed cylinder rises, and the manipulator is loosened. When the drill box pressure reaches 15Mpa and the feed distance value is greater than 1200mm, the upper thread is connected. The rod removal includes 2 The cycle includes removing the upper thread and removing the lower thread. When removing the rod, remove the upper thread first, the drill box motor reverses, the feed cylinder descends, and the manipulator is loosened. When the drill box pressure is less than 9Mpa and the feed distance value is less than 850mm, the upper thread is removed. When removing the lower thread, the drill box motor reverses, the feed cylinder descends, and the manipulator is closed. When the drill box pressure is less than 9Mpa and the feed distance value is less than 10mm, the lower thread is removed. The rod releasing action refers to the swing arm action to pull the drill rod back to the specified position, and the manipulator puts the drill rod back to the empty space in the drill rod bin, and the drill rod bin rotates to the next empty space. The drill rod bin can hold a total of 9 drill rods and has a memory function. Each drill rod is stored in a fixed position.

[0054] The number of cycles N is calculated by the PLC controller according to the set parameters. The specific calculation formula is:

[0055]

[0056] Where H s is the set drilling depth, L is the set drill rod length, L0 is the head rod length, and ΔL is the original error.

[0057] In step S1, if multiple drilling rigs are involved, the synchronous or asynchronous control mode is selected in advance through the mode selection knob switch on the remote control transmitter. If it is synchronous, one remote control transmitter can control up to four drilling rigs to move simultaneously, and steps S2 to S5 are performed simultaneously; if it is asynchronous, the remote control transmitter needs to select the drilling rig number, and steps S2 to S5 are performed separately for each drilling rig, and the steps are the same.

[0058] The new automatic anchor cable drill rig equipment mainly includes the actuators of the feed mechanism, drill arm, swing arm, manipulator, clamp, drill rod bin, and rod removal mechanism. The anchor cable drill rig needs to control multiple actuators in formation to realize the automation of the rod installation, drilling and rod removal process of anchor cable support. The specific structure is mentioned in the Chinese invention patent with application number 201811478727.5, which will not be described here; the control system and method of the multi-arm automatic anchor cable drill rig for coal mines include remote control and local mode. In the remote control mode, basic operations such as automatic start and stop can be realized through the ModubusTCP communication protocol, and the operation is completed through a third-party remote control panel or operation interface. The control system and method of the multi-arm automatic anchor cable drill rig for coal mines include step-by-step automated one-button operation, that is, if the full-automatic process is interrupted, a one-button operation can be used to return to the full-automatic state before the fault, thereby ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the automatic process. One-key operation includes 7 sub-processes: one-key rod protection, one-key rod grabbing, one-key rod release, one-key thread connection, one-key thread connection, one-key thread removal, and one-key thread removal. One-key rod protection is a separate operation, and its action process is that the upper manipulator opens and the lower manipulator closes, and finally achieves the effect that the rod does not fall off and does not affect the thread connection, that is, the manipulator is in a loose state.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
