Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of exploration and drilling technology for extraterrestrial bodies such as the Moon and Mars, and particularly to a cable storage system for drilling lunar soil / rock micro-disturbance. Background Technology
[0002] To address the bottlenecks in lunar (extraterrestrial) drilling, such as the large weight of drilling equipment, the complexity of automation due to numerous drilling actions, the difficulty in forming holes due to unstable borehole walls, the large disturbance of lunar soil, the difficulty in advancing and sampling rock blocks in the soil, the difficulty in maintaining and storing lunar soil (rock) samples, the tendency for borehole deviation, and the difficulty in dissipating heat from rock breaking by the drill bit, a dual-drill-bit biomimetic self-balancing lunar soil (rock) micro-disturbance drilling and sampling technology has been invented, which can effectively solve the above problems.
[0003] In order to enable the cables used in the continuous drilling process of the dual-drill-bit biomimetic self-balancing lunar soil (rock) micro-disturbance drilling and sampling technology to be orderly stored on the lunar surface, which provides energy supply and communication support for the drilling tool system in the borehole, and to create favorable conditions for drilling, it is essential to invent a cable storage system for lunar soil (rock) micro-disturbance drilling. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems and shortcomings described in the background art by providing a cable storage system for lunar soil / rock micro-disturbance drilling.
[0005] A cable storage system for lunar soil / rock micro-disturbance drilling includes a reel base lifting frame, a reel base lifting motor, a reel base, a first planar thrust bearing, a reel drive motor, a first reel, a second reel, a fifth torsion-isolating bearing, a soil extraction power supply cable, a rock extraction power supply cable, a first cylindrical solar energy storage device, an electromagnetic transmission reversing component, and a second cylindrical solar energy storage device.
[0006] The reel base lifting frame is fixedly connected to the soil storage and auxiliary drilling system. The reel base lifting motor is located in the inner cavity of the reel base lifting frame and is fixedly connected to the reel base lifting frame. The reel base lifting frame can drive the reel base to move vertically.
[0007] A first planar thrust bearing is installed between the second reel and the reel base. The rotor of the reel drive motor is fixedly connected to the reel base. The electromagnetic transmission commutator is fixedly connected to the housing of the reel drive motor. A fifth torsion-isolating bearing is installed between the first reel, the second reel, and the reel drive motor. The first cylindrical solar energy storage device is fixedly connected to the housing of the reel drive motor. The first reel stores soil extraction power supply cables, and the second reel stores rock extraction power supply cables. The first reel has six evenly distributed first mating slots that cooperate with the electromagnetic transmission commutator, and the second reel has six evenly distributed second mating slots that cooperate with the electromagnetic transmission commutator. By changing the current direction of the electromagnetic transmission commutator, the electromagnetic transmission commutator can connect to either the first mating slot of the first reel or the second mating slot of the second reel under the action of magnetic force, thereby achieving the purpose of a single motor independently driving two reels.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0009] The cable storage system enables the orderly storage of cables, with lunar soil drilling cables and lunar rock drilling cables stored in two separate reels. In practice, by incorporating an electromagnetic drive reversing mechanism, a single motor can independently drive both reels, simplifying the system structure and reducing energy consumption.

[0014] Referring to the attached drawings, a cable storage system for lunar soil / rock micro-disturbance drilling includes a reel base lifting frame 301, a reel base lifting motor 303, a reel base 304, a first planar thrust bearing 305, a reel drive motor 323, a first reel 324, a second reel 325, a fifth torsion-isolating bearing 326, a soil extraction power supply cable 327, a rock extraction power supply cable 328, a first cylindrical solar energy storage device 329, an electromagnetic transmission reversing component 330, a first mating slot 331, a second mating slot 332, and a second cylindrical solar energy storage device 333.
[0015] The reel base lifting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the soil storage and auxiliary drilling system. The reel base lifting motor 303 is located inside the reel base lifting frame 301 and is fixedly connected to it. A third guide groove 302 is provided on the reel base lifting frame 301, and a third guide block 335 is provided on the reel base 304. The reel base lifting frame 301 and the reel base 304 are slidably connected through the cooperation of the third guide groove 302 and the third guide block 335. The reel base 304 is threadedly connected to the reel base lifting motor 303. During operation, the reel base 304 moves up and down under the drive of the reel base lifting motor 303.
[0016] A first planar thrust bearing 305 is provided between the second reel 325 and the reel base 304. The rotor of the reel drive motor 323 is fixedly connected to the reel base 304. The electromagnetic transmission commutator 330 is fixedly connected to the housing of the reel drive motor 323. A fifth torsion-isolating bearing 326 is provided between the first reel 324, the second reel 325 and the reel drive motor 323. The first cylindrical solar energy storage device 329 is fixedly connected to the housing of the reel drive motor 323. The first reel 324 stores a soil extraction power supply cable 327, and the second reel 325 stores a rock extraction power supply cable 328. The first reel 324 has six first mating slots 331 evenly distributed in a ring on it, which mate with the electromagnetic transmission commutator 330. The second reel 325 has six second mating slots 332 evenly distributed in a ring on it, which mate with the electromagnetic transmission commutator 330. During operation, since the internal rotor of the reel drive motor 323 is fixed, its outer casing will rotate under the drive of electromagnetic torque, thereby driving the electromagnetic transmission commutator 330 to rotate. By changing the current direction of the electromagnetic transmission commutator 330, the electromagnetic transmission commutator 330 can be connected to the first mating slot 331 of the first reel 324 or the second mating slot 332 of the second reel 325 under the action of magnetic force. This achieves the purpose of a single motor independently driving two reels, and simplifies the structure and reduces energy consumption.
