Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of geological exploration equipment, and in particular relates to a drilling head structure and an in-situ leaching construction drilling platform. Background Art
[0002] At present, the drilling platforms used in in-situ leaching uranium exploration are divided into two types in terms of form: one is a trailer-type drilling platform, and the other is a ground-type drilling platform. One type places the drilling platform on a trailer, and the other type places the drilling platform on the ground.
[0003] A ground-based drilling platform typically consists of a vertical-axis drilling rig, a drilling tower, a tower base, and inclined outriggers. Components such as mud pumps, mixers, and generators are placed outside the platform. Once all components are in place, the tower base is assembled first. The vertical-axis drilling rig is then bolted to the base. The lower end of the drilling tower is mounted to the base using hinged supports, and the inclined outriggers are mounted on one side of the tower and the other side of the base using hinged supports. After the components are transported to the construction site in batches, the ground is leveled at the desired hole location, the tower base is assembled, and the drilling rig is installed on the tower base. The tower body is typically divided into two or three sections, depending on the required height, and bolted together to form a single unit. The tower body is then erected mechanically or by direct lifting using a truck crane. Components such as the inclined outriggers, second-tier platform, and vertical support brackets are then installed. After adjusting the desired angle, the drilling tower is complete. When construction is complete and the tower needs to be lowered, the above steps are reversed to complete the tower lowering, disassembly, assembly, and transportation processes.
[0004] A trailer-mounted drilling platform generally consists of a trailer platform, a drilling rig, a tower, and a rig cylinder. The tires and leaf springs of the three axles are mounted beneath the trailer platform. The drilling rig, mixer, and mud pump are mounted on the trailer platform. The lower and middle ends of the tower are hingedly mounted to the rig support, which is then secured to the trailer platform. The rig cylinder is hingedly mounted on one side of the tower and the other side of the trailer platform. All components are integrally connected and mounted on the trailer chassis, eliminating the need for on-site installation. The ground is leveled at the desired drilling location, and the rig cylinder is extended to lift the tower. Once the rig is adjusted to the desired angle, the rig is operated. The rig cylinder retracts to lower the tower.
[0005] However, at present, both forms of drilling platforms have defects:
[0006] The floor-type drilling platform relies on the feed cylinder of the vertical spindle drill for pressurized drilling. Each feed stroke is relatively short, and a single feed stroke generally does not exceed 800mm. Often, a 9-meter drill rod needs to be reversed more than ten times to complete the drilling construction of one drill rod. Multiple reverses will cause the hole to be tilted, resulting in poor positioning accuracy of the drill hole. The trailer-type drilling platform relies on the deadweight of the drill rod for pressurized drilling, which cannot solve the problem of pressurized drilling operations within 200m at the beginning of in-situ leaching uranium mine construction. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Furthermore, the structure of the connecting structure 502 can be a lifting ring, and the lifting ring and the mounting hole opened on the box body 501 are detachably connected by threaded connection. The lifting ring and the chain 4 can be fixedly connected with screws, or the chain 4 can be connected to the lifting ring through a quick hanger.
[0049] A drill rod connection assembly 503 for connecting the square active drill rod 6 of the drilling rig is provided between the two connection structures 502 . The drill rod connection assembly 503 is detachably connected to the box body 501 by screws or bolts.

Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the main structure of the reducer 5031 includes a circular tube 50311, the outer ring of the circular tube 50311 has an annular protrusion structure 50312, one end face of the circular tube 50311 is provided with a conical thread sleeve structure 50314, and the other end face is provided with a cylindrical thread sleeve structure 50313, and the conical thread sleeve structure 50314, the cylindrical thread sleeve structure 50313 and the circular tube 50311 are coaxial; two sets of limit assemblies are respectively provided on both sides of the protrusion structure 50312, for limiting the position of the reducer 5031.
[0052] Furthermore, the structure of the limiting assembly includes a thrust ball bearing 5034 and a bearing cover 5033 mounted on the reducer 5031, a sealing assembly is provided between the thrust ball bearing 5034 and the bearing cover 5033, the thrust ball bearing 5034 is pressed onto the raised structure 50312, the bearing cover 5033 is detachably connected to the cylinder 5032 by screws or bolts, and a pressure oil cup 5035 is fixed on the bearing cover 5033, and lubricating oil can be added to the thrust ball bearing 5034 through the pressure oil cup 5035.
[0053] Preferably, the sealing component is a circular sealing ring.
[0054] An in-situ leaching drilling platform comprises a drilling head structure as described above, wherein a first sprocket assembly 1 and a second sprocket assembly 2 are respectively arranged at the upper end and the lower end of a drilling tower on the drilling platform.
[0055] Furthermore, in order to prevent the square active drill rod 6 of the drilling rig on the drill rod connection assembly 503 from tilting, a guide assembly for guiding the shoulder beam assembly 5 is also provided, and the guide assembly is arranged between the drilling tower and the shoulder beam assembly 5.
[0056] Further, such as Figure 7 As shown, the structure of the guide assembly includes two guide rails arranged on the drilling tower, and the guide rails are arranged along the height direction of the drilling tower. The two ends of the box 501 are respectively connected to a connecting rod 506 through a fastening structure 504. The length direction of the connecting rod 506 is perpendicular to the length direction of the square active drill rod 6. The end of the connecting rod 506 away from the box 501 is provided with a roller 505 clamped in the guide rail.
[0057] During use, after the in-situ leaching drilling platform completes the drilling tower construction state, the gearbox handle of the drilling rig is operated to make the vertical shaft of the drilling rig output different speeds, driving the universal joint assembly and the turntable to rotate. The Sifang active drill rod 6 is passed through the turntable, and the turntable drives the Sifang active drill rod 6 to rotate, thereby providing torque and rotation speed for in-situ leaching drilling construction.
[0058] Operate the hydraulic operating valve of the drilling rig to activate the hydraulic motor as the driving device, driving the chain 4 to move downward, and the chain 4 pulls the shoulder beam assembly 5 to move downward. The lower part of the shoulder beam assembly 5 is equipped with a four-way active drill rod 6, thereby providing feed pressure for geological drilling construction. When the hydraulic valve is operated in reverse, an upward lifting force can be provided for the four-way active drill rod 6.
[0059] The in-situ leaching construction drilling platform uses a hydraulic motor to drive the Sifang active drill rod 6 to complete pressurized or decompressed drilling within 200m, or the wire rope on the drilling rig's winch suspends the shoulder beam assembly 5 to complete pressurized or decompressed drilling. Both methods have an effective feed stroke of 7.55m, which can complete one drilling of a 9-meter drill rod without reversing the rod back and forth, meeting the construction needs of 9m oil drill rods.
[0060] Since there are guide rails on both sides of the inner side of the upper tower of the ground-based in-situ immersion drilling platform, the guide rails are preferably slides, which can provide guidance and positioning support for the shoulder beam assembly 5 when it slides up and down, and when lifting or adding drill rods, the shoulder beam assembly 5 can be hung on the auxiliary slide. At this time, the wellhead position is clear, which is convenient for lifting and lowering the drill rod.
[0061] The ground-based in-situ immersion drilling platform uses a hydraulic motor to drive a chain mechanism to complete pressurized and decompressed drilling processes within 200m. After exceeding 200m, the wire rope on the drilling rig's winch is used to lift the shoulder beam assembly to complete decompression drilling, and the weight of the drill rod is used to complete pressurized drilling, making it suitable for different working conditions and able to meet long-stroke feeding operations. The feeding stroke can reach 7.55 meters at a time, which can avoid quality accidents such as hole inclination caused by multiple rod falls.
[0062] The present invention provides a drilling head structure and an in-situ leaching construction drilling platform, which can complete the pressurized drilling process within 200m when opening a hole. No rod-turning operation is required when drilling a 9m drill rod. This not only improves the hole-making rate and reduces the occurrence of hole deviation accidents, but also shortens the auxiliary construction time and improves the construction efficiency. It has strong practicality and is worthy of promotion.
[0063] The above disclosure is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
