For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0045] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a geological exploration device for karst cave areas includes:

[0046] 1. Mobile vehicle; 2. Platform; 3. Leveling mechanism; 4. Drilling device;

[0047] Platform 2 is hinged to mobile vehicle 1;

[0048] The mobile vehicle 1 is equipped with a lifting component 11, and the output end of the lifting component 11 is hinged to the platform 2;

[0049] Drilling device 4 is located on the end face of platform 2;

[0050] The leveling mechanism 3 is located on the side of the platform 2. The leveling mechanism 3 is a high-strength flexible structure with an internal cavity. The mobile vehicle 1 is equipped with an inflation component 12 for inflating the leveling mechanism 3.

[0051] The lifting component 11 drives the platform 2 closer to the mountain, and the leveling mechanism 3 fills the area between the platform 2 and the mountain to keep the platform 2 stable.

[0052] Specifically, the surface of karst areas is characterized by irregular hills and pits, making it difficult to set up exploration equipment. In this embodiment, the mobile vehicle 1 is first moved to the vicinity of the hill to be explored. The lifting component 11 drives the platform 2 closer to the hill. Due to the irregularity of the hill, the platform 2 cannot be stably set up on its surface. At this time, air is inflated into the leveling mechanism 3 through the inflation component 12. Since the leveling mechanism 3 is a high-strength flexible structure with internal cavities, as inflation proceeds, it gradually fills the uneven areas, making the platform 2 more stable and thus making the drilling process of the drilling device 4 more stable. It should be noted that under normal conditions, when the lifting component 11 retracts, the platform 2 and the leveling mechanism 3 can retract back onto the mobile vehicle 1, and the drilling device 4 can be positioned above the mobile vehicle 1, resulting in a neat overall structure. Optionally, the lifting component 11 can be a hydraulic drive component.

[0053] In some embodiments, the leveling mechanism 3 has a plurality of recessed portions 31 and pull-back portions 32;

[0054] The pull-back part 32 is located in the inner cavity of the leveling mechanism 3, with one end connected to the recessed part 31 and the other end connected to the inner wall of the leveling mechanism 3.

[0055] Using the above technical solution, during inflation, when the raised area on the hilltop surface contacts and engages with the leveling mechanism 3, the raised area enters the recessed portion 31, and as inflation continues, the recessed portion 31 clamps the hilltop. Meanwhile, as inflation progresses, the recessed portion 31 of the leveling mechanism 3 corresponding to the concave area of ​​the hill expands outward and gradually contacts and engages with the concave area until it is fully filled. After the survey is completed, as the air is slowly released, the pull-back portion 32 pulls the recessed portion 31 back into the cavity of the leveling mechanism 3. It should be noted that the pull-back portion 32 is a high-strength, high-toughness elastic component.

[0056] In some embodiments, the surface of the recessed portion 31 is provided with a protrusion 33, and the protrusion 33 is elastic.

[0057] By adopting the above technical solution, the protrusion 33 can increase the friction between itself and the mountain. Furthermore, since the mountain surface is extremely irregular, the protrusion 33 can fully fill the gaps and pits on the mountain surface, further improving the stability of the platform 2 after its construction.

[0058] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the leveling mechanism 3 has a rough structure 34.

[0059] By adopting the above technical solutions, the rough structure 34 can enhance the overall adhesion performance of the surface of the leveling mechanism 3.

[0060] In some embodiments, the drilling device 4 includes a frame 41, a telescopic drive 42, a beam 43, a motor 44, a turntable 45, a first gear 46, a second gear 47, a first spiral 48, and a second spiral 49.

[0061] The telescopic drive component 42 is mounted on the frame 41, and its output end is connected to the beam frame 43;

[0062] The motor 44 is mounted on the beam frame 43, and its output end is connected to the turntable 45;

[0063] The first gear 46 and the second gear 47 are located inside the turntable 45;

[0064] The first gear 46 is adapted to and connected to the first spiral 48, and the second gear 47 is adapted to and connected to the second spiral 49.

[0065] Using the above technical solution, when drilling is performed using the drilling device 4, the motor 44 can drive the turntable 45 to rotate, so that the first spiral 48 and the second spiral 49 can rotate around the center, and the telescopic drive 42 can drive the beam frame 43 to move down as a whole, thereby performing the drilling action.

[0066] In some embodiments, the sides of the first gear 46 and the second gear 47 are partially exposed outside the turntable 45;

[0067] The beam frame 43 is provided with a locking member 431, which has a locking tooth 432. The locking tooth 432 meshes with the side of the first gear 46 and the second gear 47.

[0068] Using the above technical solution, when the turntable 45 rotates, the sides of the first gear 46 and the second gear 47 will engage with the locking teeth 432 of the locking member 431, thereby causing the first gear 46 and the second gear 47 to rotate, and driving the first spiral 48 and the second spiral 49 to rotate, thereby improving drilling efficiency.

[0069] In some embodiments, the drilling device 4 is further provided with a guide rod 40;

[0070] The guide rod 40 is in sliding fit with the beam frame 43.

[0071] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding fit between the guide rod 40 and the beam frame 43 makes the process of the beam frame 43 being driven to move by the telescopic drive component 42 smoother.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first spiral 48 has a first spiral portion 481, and the second spiral 49 has a second spiral portion 491;

[0073] The first spiral section 481 and the second spiral section 491 are staggered vertically.

[0074] Using the above technical solution, when the first spiral 48 and the second spiral 49 rotate, the first spiral part 481 and the second spiral part 491 are staggered vertically, causing the broken mountain body to move upward along the first spiral part 481 and the second spiral part 491 and be further crushed, thus avoiding the mountain body fragments being too large to hinder the drilling process.

[0075] In some embodiments, the ends of the first spiral 48 and the second spiral 49 are provided with drill bit assembly 5;

[0076] Drill bit assembly 5 includes main drill bit 51, first auxiliary drill bit 52, and second auxiliary drill bit 53;

[0077] The first auxiliary drill bit 52 and the second auxiliary drill bit 53 are respectively located on both sides of the main drill bit 51, with the bottom of the main drill bit 51 at the bottom and the bottom of the first auxiliary drill bit 52 at the top.

[0078] By adopting the above technical solution, this configuration allows the drill bit assembly 5 to perform multi-layer drilling during mountain drilling. The main drill bit 51 initially drills through the mountain, and as the drill moves downwards, the first auxiliary drill bit 52 and the second auxiliary drill bit 53 gradually break up the mountain again. Through the combined effects of rotation and revolution, the drilling efficiency is greatly improved. Furthermore, as... Figure 2 The drill bit assembly 5 has a water jet hole 54 on its side. During drilling, the water jet from the water jet hole 54 can cool the drill bit assembly 5, preventing the high temperature generated during drilling from causing cooling of the drill bit assembly 5. At the same time, the water jet will wash away the mountain debris drilled on the outside of the drill bit assembly 5, making it easier for the drill bit assembly 5 to drill downwards. Furthermore, when the water jet holes 54 on the first spiral 48 and the second spiral 49 rotate to the relative position, the water jets spray out in opposite directions, which can lift the mountain debris upwards and smoothly enter the first spiral section 481 and the second spiral section 491, thereby further improving drilling efficiency.

[0079] This invention also discloses a method for geological exploration in karst cave areas, comprising the following steps:

[0080] Step 1: Move the mobile vehicle to the vicinity of the mountainous area that needs to be surveyed;

[0081] Step two: The lifting platform moves closer to the mountain surface;

[0082] Step 3: The inflatable component inflates into the leveling mechanism to fill the area between the platform and the mountain.

[0083] Step four: The drilling equipment drills into the mountain.

[0084] Specifically, in step three, during inflation, when the raised area on the hilltop surface contacts and engages with the leveling mechanism 3, the raised area enters the recessed portion 31, and as inflation continues, the recessed portion 31 clamps the hilltop. Meanwhile, as inflation progresses, the recessed portion 31 of the leveling mechanism 3 corresponding to the concave area of ​​the hill expands outward and gradually contacts and engages with the concave area until it is fully filled. After the survey is completed, as the air is slowly released, the pull-back portion 32 pulls the recessed portion 31 back into the cavity of the leveling mechanism 3.

[0085] In step four, motor 44 is turned on, causing turntable 45 to revolve around the first spiral 48 and the second spiral 49. During this revolution, the sides of the first gear 46 and the second gear 47 engage with the locking teeth 432 of the locking member 431, causing the first gear 46 and the second gear 47 to rotate on their own axes. With the cooperation of revolution and rotation, the drill bit assembly 5 can fully drill and break up the mountain.

[0086] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of the invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention should be included within the protection scope of the invention. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
