Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of construction and bridge construction equipment, and specifically relates to a telescopic drill rod device for down-the-hole hammers. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the drill rods of down-the-hole hammers are all of fixed length. When drilling to greater depths, it is often necessary to use multiple rods cascaded together. However, for some specific working conditions, the drilling depth is often greater than the length of one drill rod but less than the length of two drill rods. When encountering such conditions, if two drill rods are cascaded together, the complexity of the cascading operation will increase the number of work steps, which will greatly reduce the efficiency of hole formation and also bring a greater workload to the operators.
[0003] During down-the-hole (DH) hammer drilling, the drill rod connects both the power head and the hammer head. This necessitates both torque transmission and synchronized airflow to power the hammer. Therefore, for drill rods with telescopic capabilities, a reliable airflow supply during telescopic movement is crucial to ensure stable and reliable hole-forming operations.
[0004] To address the issue of the limited structural design of current down-the-hole hammer drill rods, there is an urgent need to provide a down-the-hole hammer drill rod device with telescopic functionality. Summary of the Invention

This drill rod device has a telescopic function, which can meet the needs of special hole-forming operations, simplify the operation process, improve operation efficiency, and reduce the labor load of operators. In addition, it can ensure a reliable supply of air during the telescopic process.

The multiple pairs of key plates four are correspondingly arranged with multiple key plates three. When the inner cylinder is in a fully retracted state, each pair of key plates four is located on the outer sides of a corresponding key plate two. When the inner cylinder is in a fully extended state, each pair of key plates four is located on the outer sides of a corresponding key plate three. An arc-shaped limiting plate is fixedly connected between the right ends of each pair of adjacent key plates three. The outer arc surface of the arc-shaped limiting plate is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the outer cylinder.

The stepped cavity includes a connecting cavity located at the left end of the inner connector and a connector receiving cavity located on the right side of the connecting cavity, wherein the inner diameter of the connecting cavity is smaller than the inner diameter of the connector receiving cavity.
[0014] The telescopic air passage mechanism includes an outer tube, an inner tube, and an air inlet pipe. The outer tube is fixedly connected to the inside of the inner cylinder at two eccentric mounting holes. The left end of the outer tube is flush with the left end of the inner cylinder. An air outlet connector is installed inside the right end of the outer tube. The right end of the outer tube is fixedly inserted into the second eccentric mounting hole, and the right end of the air outlet connector is fixedly inserted into the air supply mounting hole. The inner tube is coaxially arranged inside the outer tube. A guide ring is fixedly connected to the outside of its right end.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a left annular cover and a right annular cover. The left end of the left annular mounting groove extends to the left end face of the rotating spindle, and the right end of the right annular mounting groove extends to the right end face of the rotating spindle. The left annular cover is rotatably fitted onto the outer side of the left part of the rotating spindle and is fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating shaft sleeve, thereby closing the left opening end of the left annular mounting groove. The right annular cover is rotatably fitted onto the outer side of the right part of the rotating spindle and is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft sleeve, thereby closing the right opening end of the right annular mounting groove.
[0016] Furthermore, to ensure a stable and reliable connection between the rod and the working equipment, two semi-circular inner pin grooves are provided at intervals on the upper left and lower right sides of the joint receiving cavity, with the inner pin grooves extending in the front-back direction; two pairs of through grooves are provided on the inner cylinder corresponding to the two inner pin grooves, with each pair of through grooves being coaxially arranged with the corresponding inner pin groove for the insertion or removal of the pin shaft;
[0017] Furthermore, in order to improve the sealing performance, annular sealing grooves are provided in the middle of the inner circular surfaces of the left and right annular bosses, and annular sealing rings are installed in each annular sealing groove.
[0018] Furthermore, to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection, the inner connector is an internal hexagonal connector.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the rotating spindle and the second connecting flange are an integral structure; the rotating spindle and the first connecting flange are connected by bolts.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the buffer chamber comprises a cylindrical body, a left end plate fixedly encapsulated at the left opening end of the cylindrical body, and a right end plate fixedly encapsulated at the right opening end of the cylindrical body.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the second radial connecting hole is smaller than the length of the annular groove in the left-right direction; the diameter of the first radial connecting hole is smaller than the diameter of the second radial connecting hole.
[0022] In this invention, a first connecting flange and a second connecting flange are connected to the left and right ends of the rotating spindle, respectively, which facilitates the establishment of a stable and reliable connection between the rotating air-passing mechanism and external equipment. The spindle bushing is coaxially positioned on the outside of the rotating spindle, allowing for the formation of an annular space between them through a clearance fit. This ensures a fixed connection between the left end of the spindle bushing and the left end of the rotating spindle. Simultaneously, the annular limiting step, fixedly mounted on the right side of the rotating spindle, is fixedly connected to the right end of the spindle bushing, facilitating the sealing of both ends of the formed annular space, thus creating a sealed annular cavity. The radial connecting hole facilitates the establishment of a communication channel between the annular cavity and the external space. Connecting the rotating bushing to the outside of the spindle bushing using left and right bearings effectively reduces the frictional resistance between the rotating bushing and the spindle bushing, and improves stability during rotation. By setting left and right annular bosses on the left and right sides of the annular groove respectively, the airtightness between the annular groove and the first radial connecting hole can be effectively ensured. The second radial connecting hole facilitates the connection of an external gas supply pipeline, thereby allowing high-pressure gas from the outside to be supplied into the annular cavity through the second radial connecting hole, the annular groove, and the first radial connecting hole. By providing an axial through hole on the annular limiting step that communicates with the annular cavity, a connection channel between the rotary air passage mechanism and the telescopic air supply mechanism can be easily established using the axial through hole. Multiple key plates are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the outer cylinder, facilitating its assembly into the power head and rotation via the power head. The inner cylinder is slidably inserted into the outer cylinder. Simultaneously, multiple key plates are fixedly connected to the inner left side and the inner right side of the outer cylinder, and multiple pairs of key plates are fixedly connected to the outer left side of the inner cylinder. When the inner cylinder is fully retracted, the multiple pairs of key plates can radially limit the movement of the multiple key plates and reliably transmit torque. When the inner cylinder is fully extended, the multiple pairs of key plates can radially limit the movement of the multiple key plates and reliably transmit torque. Thus, whether the inner cylinder is retracted or extended, the rotation of the inner cylinder is synchronized with the rotation of the outer cylinder driven by the power head, thereby completing the power transmission process. A left radial baffle is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner cylinder's inner cavity, and a second through hole is opened in the center of the left radial baffle. The left radial baffle not only limits the left end of the inner cylinder, but the second through hole also allows for the supply of high-pressure gas into the inner cylinder's inner cavity. A right radial baffle is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner cylinder's inner cavity, sealing off the right side of the inner cylinder. This allows the high-pressure gas entering the inner cylinder's inner cavity to fully act on the right radial baffle, thereby pushing the inner cylinder outwards from the outer cylinder.The outer tube is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder, with its right end fixedly inserted into the eccentric mounting hole two on the right radial baffle. This ensures that the gas entering the outer tube passes through the space on the right side of the right radial baffle. The inner tube is inserted inside the outer tube, with its left end fixedly inserted into the eccentric mounting hole one on the left radial baffle. This facilitates a reliable connection between the left end of the inner tube and the external gas supply mechanism. A guide ring is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner tube, which slides and seals with the outer tube. This ensures a good seal between the two, allowing the gas entering the inner tube to be stably and reliably output through the right end of the outer tube during expansion and contraction. An outlet connector is fixedly connected to the right end of the outer pipe, and the right end of the outlet connector is fixedly inserted into the inlet mounting hole on the left end plate of the buffer gas chamber. Simultaneously, the left end of the inner connector is fixedly inserted into the connector mounting hole on the right end plate of the buffer gas chamber. This ensures a stable and reliable supply of high-pressure gas from the outer pipe to the buffer gas chamber, and then from the buffer gas chamber to the stepped cavity of the inner connector, thus supplying the working equipment. Placing the buffer gas chamber between the telescopic gas supply mechanism and the inner connector creates a buffering effect on the supplied gas, thereby facilitating a stable and reliable supply of working gas. An axial gas supply channel is formed by the corresponding arrangement of the axial through cavity of the rotating spindle shaft in the rotating gas mechanism, the through hole one at the center of the third connecting flange, and the through hole two at the center of the left radial baffle. This allows for the supply of high-pressure gas to the interior of the inner cylinder during operation, enabling the inner cylinder to move away from the outer cylinder, thus facilitating the telescopic function of the rod. This drill pipe device features a telescopic function to meet the needs of special operations. Furthermore, its telescopic control process is convenient and quick, effectively simplifying the work procedure, improving drilling efficiency, and reducing the workload of operators. Additionally, it is equipped with an internal telescopic air supply mechanism to ensure a stable and reliable air supply during the pipe's extension and retraction. Its significant economic benefits make it highly valuable for widespread application. Attached Figure Description

The radial connecting hole facilitates the establishment of a communication channel between the annular cavity and the external space. Connecting the rotating bushing to the outside of the spindle bushing using left and right bearings effectively reduces the frictional resistance between the rotating bushing and the spindle bushing, and improves stability during rotation. By setting left and right annular bosses on the left and right sides of the annular groove respectively, the airtightness between the annular groove and the first radial connecting hole can be effectively ensured. The second radial connecting hole facilitates the connection of an external gas supply pipeline, thereby allowing high-pressure gas from the outside to be supplied into the annular cavity through the second radial connecting hole, the annular groove, and the first radial connecting hole. By providing an axial through hole on the annular limiting step that communicates with the annular cavity, a connection channel between the rotary air passage mechanism and the telescopic air supply mechanism can be easily established using the axial through hole. Multiple key plates are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the outer cylinder, facilitating its assembly into the power head and rotation via the power head. The inner cylinder is slidably inserted into the outer cylinder. Simultaneously, multiple key plates are fixedly connected to the inner left side and the inner right side of the outer cylinder, and multiple pairs of key plates are fixedly connected to the outer left side of the inner cylinder. When the inner cylinder is fully retracted, the multiple pairs of key plates can radially limit the movement of the multiple key plates and reliably transmit torque. When the inner cylinder is fully extended, the multiple pairs of key plates can radially limit the movement of the multiple key plates and reliably transmit torque. Thus, whether the inner cylinder is retracted or extended, the rotation of the inner cylinder is synchronized with the rotation of the outer cylinder driven by the power head, thereby completing the power transmission process. A left radial baffle is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner cylinder's inner cavity, and a second through hole is opened in the center of the left radial baffle. The left radial baffle not only limits the left end of the inner cylinder, but the second through hole also allows for the supply of high-pressure gas into the inner cylinder's inner cavity. A right radial baffle is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner cylinder's inner cavity, sealing off the right side of the inner cylinder. This allows the high-pressure gas entering the inner cylinder's inner cavity to fully act on the right radial baffle, thereby pushing the inner cylinder outwards from the outer cylinder.The outer tube is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder, with its right end fixedly inserted into the eccentric mounting hole two on the right radial baffle. This ensures that the gas entering the outer tube passes through the space on the right side of the right radial baffle. The inner tube is inserted inside the outer tube, with its left end fixedly inserted into the eccentric mounting hole one on the left radial baffle. This facilitates a reliable connection between the left end of the inner tube and the external gas supply mechanism. A guide ring is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner tube, which slides and seals with the outer tube. This ensures a good seal between the two, allowing the gas entering the inner tube to be stably and reliably output through the right end of the outer tube during expansion and contraction. An outlet connector is fixedly connected to the right end of the outer pipe, and the right end of the outlet connector is fixedly inserted into the inlet mounting hole on the left end plate of the buffer gas chamber. Simultaneously, the left end of the inner connector is fixedly inserted into the connector mounting hole on the right end plate of the buffer gas chamber. This ensures a stable and reliable supply of high-pressure gas from the outer pipe to the buffer gas chamber, and then from the buffer gas chamber to the stepped cavity of the inner connector, thus supplying the working equipment. Placing the buffer gas chamber between the telescopic gas supply mechanism and the inner connector creates a buffering effect on the supplied gas, thereby facilitating a stable and reliable supply of working gas. An axial gas supply channel is formed by the corresponding arrangement of the axial through cavity of the rotating spindle shaft in the rotating gas mechanism, the through hole one at the center of the third connecting flange, and the through hole two at the center of the left radial baffle. This allows for the supply of high-pressure gas to the interior of the inner cylinder during operation, enabling the inner cylinder to move away from the outer cylinder, thus facilitating the telescopic function of the rod. This drill pipe device features a telescopic function to meet the needs of special operations. Furthermore, its telescopic control process is convenient and quick, effectively simplifying the work procedure, improving drilling efficiency, and reducing the workload of operators. Additionally, it is equipped with an internal telescopic air supply mechanism to ensure a stable and reliable air supply during the pipe's extension and retraction. Its significant economic benefits make it highly valuable for widespread application.
