Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of core sampling technology, specifically to a core sampling device for fractured rocks. Background Technology

[0002] Core sampling refers to the process of taking rock samples from the drilled strata to understand the geological conditions of the formation. The results of core sampling can be used to determine the characteristics of the strata, geological structure, and infer geological evolution. Core sampling is mostly carried out using exploration drilling rigs, which are usually composed of a power unit, active drill rod, drill bit, and extension drill rod. The power unit drives the active drill rod and drill bit to rotate. To ensure a certain drilling depth, after each core sampling is completed, it is necessary to connect the extension drill rod to perform continuous core sampling.

[0003] Existing methods for coring using drilling rigs require the use of clamps to hold the previously drilled extended drill rod when connecting it to the inclined surface of the drill rod, preventing it from falling off. After connecting the new extended drill rod, the clamps are removed and released from the drilling rig body. This process requires operators to bend over significantly to retrieve the clamps and manually adjust their position, which is inconvenient and cannot guarantee that the extended drill rod and the main drill rod are aligned. This poses a risk of connection misalignment between the drill rods. During continuous coring, the connection misalignment of multiple extended drill rods gradually accumulates, affecting rod changing efficiency and coring verticality. Therefore, we propose a coring device for exploring fractured rock. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Please see Figure 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0040] A core sampling device for excavating fractured rock includes a drilling rig body 1, an active drill rod 2 mounted on the drilling rig body 1, and an extension drill rod 3 mounted on one side of the drilling rig body 1. The extension drill rod 3 has polygonal protrusions for clamping and supporting it during connection to prevent it from falling off. The device also includes:

[0041] Clamping plate 4, multiple clamping plates 4 are provided, and multiple clamping plates 4 are provided on one side of the extended drill rod 3;

[0042] The clamping mechanism 5 is used to drive multiple clamping plates 4 to move and clamp the extended drill rod 3, assisting the operator in connecting the extended drill rod 3, ensuring that the axis of the extended drill rod 3 and the active drill rod 2 are on the same straight line, ensuring rod changing efficiency and core sampling verticality, and is set on the main body 1 of the drilling machine.

[0043] The limiting mechanism 6 is used to control the clamping mechanism 5, limit the position of multiple clamping plates 4, prevent the multiple clamping plates 4 from shifting, and is set on the drilling rig body 1.

[0044] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 51 mounted on the drilling rig body 1, a fixed plate 52 mounted on the mounting base 51, a rotating plate 53 mounted above the fixed plate 52, and multiple clamping plates 4 positioned between the fixed plate 52 and the rotating plate 53. The rotating plate 53 has multiple connecting rods 54, each with a chuck 55. The fixed plate 52 has arc grooves 56 that match the connecting rods 54 and the chucks 55. Under the action of the connecting rods 54 and the chucks 55, the rotating plate 53 can rotate on the fixed plate 52, simultaneously providing a secure grip for the multiple clamping plates 4. The space is provided to support multiple clamping plates 4; the outer diameter of the chuck 55 is larger than that of the connecting rod 54, so that the rotating disk 53 is closely connected to the fixed disk 52. When the multiple clamping plates 4 clamp the extended drill rod 3, the rotating disk 53 is prevented from shifting and falling off due to force; the multiple clamping plates 4 clamp the extended drill rod 3 to ensure that the central axis of the extended drill rod 3 and the active drill rod 2 are on the same straight line, and to ensure that the extended drill rod 3 and the active drill rod 2 are in a perpendicular state after connection, reducing the cumulative offset of the extended drill rod 3 and the active drill rod 2, and improving the verticality of the core sampling in the subsequent continuous core sampling process.

[0045] The mounting base 51 is provided with a pulling component 7 for driving the rotating disk 53 to rotate. The pulling component 7 includes a connecting plate 71 provided on the mounting base 51, a pulley 72 provided on the mounting base 51, a connecting block 73 provided on the rotating disk 53, and a wire 74 provided on one side of the mounting base 51. The wire 74 passes through the side plate of the mounting base 51, the connecting plate 71, crosses the pulley 72, and connects to the connecting block 73. Pulling the wire 74 causes the connecting block 73 and the rotating disk 53 to rotate under force.

[0046] The 74 wire is made of nylon steel wire. Nylon steel wire not only has the flexibility of nylon and the hardness of steel wire, but also has excellent wear resistance, mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. It will not stretch when pulled, ensuring the effective displacement of multiple clamps 4. Its excellent performance ensures that the service life is extended when used in the field.

[0047] A guide assembly 8 is provided on the fixed disk 52 to drive the displacement of multiple clamping plates 4 and guide the multiple clamping plates 4 when the rotating disk 53 rotates. The guide assembly 8 includes a guide groove 81 provided on the fixed disk 52, a guide plate 82 provided on each of the multiple clamping plates 4, a guide post 83 provided on each of the multiple clamping plates 4, and a through groove 84 provided on the rotating disk 53 that matches the multiple guide posts 83. When the rotating disk 53 rotates, under the action of the through groove 84 and the guide post 83, the clamping plates 4 and the guide plate 82 are driven to move along the guide groove 81, changing the relative position of the multiple clamping plates 4, so that the area formed by the multiple clamping plates 4 is reduced, thereby clamping the extended drill rod 3. The protruding part of the extended drill rod 3 is provided with a slope, so that when the extended drill rod 3 is rotated after clamping, the rotation of the extended drill rod 3 is avoided.

[0048] Multiple limiting members 9 are provided in the guide groove 81 to limit the initial position of multiple clamping plates 4 respectively. The limiting member 9 includes a fixing block 91 provided on the guide groove 81, and a first spring 92 is provided between the fixing block 91 and the guide plate 82. The first spring 92 and the fixing block 91 limit the initial position of the clamping plate 4, and assist the corresponding clamping plate 4 to return to the initial position when the wire drawing 74 is retracted.

[0049] The limiting mechanism 6 includes a fixed cylinder 61 installed on the drilling rig body 1, a grooved cylinder 62 installed inside the fixed cylinder 61, a pressing rod 63 installed on the grooved cylinder 62, and a wire puller 74 connected to the pressing rod 63; the pressing rod 63 moves downward, and the wire puller 74 is displaced by force.

[0050] A locking assembly 10 is provided on the pressing rod 63 to lock the pressing rod 63 and the wire puller 74 after pressing the pressing rod 63 once, thereby limiting the position of the rotating disk 53 and the multiple clamping plates 4. The locking assembly 10 includes a displacement column 101 provided on the pressing rod 63, a second spring 102 provided on the displacement column 101, a push plate 103 provided on the grooved cylinder 62, an elastic strip 104 provided on the push plate 103, a third spring 105 provided between the push plate 103 and the fixed cylinder 61, and a slot 106 provided on the fixed cylinder 61 that matches the elastic strip 104.

[0051] The locking assembly 10 is equipped with an unlocking assembly 11, which is used to release the locking of the pressing rod 63 and the pull wire 74 after the pressing rod 63 is pressed again. The unlocking assembly 11 includes an arc-shaped opening 111 on one side of the displacement column 101, and a grooved plate 112 on the elastic strip 104. The grooved part of the grooved plate 112 is rounded on the side near the arc-shaped opening 111. Pushing the pressing rod 63 causes the displacement column 101 to move, and the second spring 102 is compressed and pushes the push plate 103, which in turn moves the grooved cylinder 62, the elastic strip 104, and the grooved plate 112. After the elastic strip 104 is displaced, it engages with the slot 106, thereby limiting the position of the pressing rod 63 and the wire puller 74. When the pressing rod 63 is pushed again, the displacement column 101 makes a slight displacement, and the arc 111 pushes the groove plate 112, causing the elastic strip 104 to move away from the slot 106. The elastic strip 104 is released from the slot 106. Under the action of the second spring 102 and the third spring 105, the pressing rod 63 and the groove cylinder 62 return to their initial positions, thereby releasing the position limitation on the pressing rod 63 and the wire puller 74.

[0052] In use, the pressing rod 63 can be pushed by foot. When the extended drill rod 3 needs to be clamped, pushing the pressing rod 63 causes the displacement column 101 to move. The second spring 102 is compressed and pushes the push plate 103, causing the groove cylinder 62, elastic strip 104, and groove plate 112 to move. After the elastic strip 104 moves, it engages with the slot 106, thereby limiting the position of the pressing rod 63. During this process, the pressing rod 63 pulls the wire 74, which drives the connecting block 73 and the rotating disk 53 to rotate. When the rotating disk 53 rotates, under the action of the through groove 84 and the guide post 83, it drives the clamping plate 4 and the guide plate 82 to move along the guide groove 81, changing the relative position of the multiple clamping plates 4, so that the multiple clamping plates 4 The area formed is reduced, thus the clamping plate 4 clamps the extended drill rod 3 to ensure that the extended drill rod 3 and the active drill rod 2 are aligned, which facilitates connection. When the extended drill rod 3 needs to be released after connection, the pressing rod 63 is pushed again, the displacement column 101 makes a slight displacement, the arc 111 pushes the groove plate 112, and drives the elastic strip 104 to move away from the slot 106. The elastic strip 104 is released from the slot 106. Under the action of the second spring 102 and the third spring 105, the pressing rod 63 and the groove cylinder 62 return to the initial position, thereby releasing the position restriction on the pressing rod 63 and the wire puller 74, and then driving the multiple clamping plates 4 back to the initial position, releasing the clamping of the extended drill rod 3.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Please see Figure 1-11 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0055] Unlike Embodiment 1, the drilling rig body 1 is provided with two fixing bars 12, and a rotating plate 13 is rotatably arranged between the two fixing bars 12. The rotating plate 13 is positioned above the pressing rod 63, and a pedal 14 is provided at one end of the rotating plate 13. The pressing rod 63 can be moved by stepping on the pedal 14. The pedal 14 increases the force application point and force application area, and force can be applied from multiple directions, which is convenient for personnel to operate.
