Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of coal mine tunnel drilling equipment, specifically to a self-propelled water-powered tunnel drilling rig and its operation method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, during underground tunnel drilling in coal mines, the water supply device is directly installed at the end of the drill rod's female thread. Due to the use of a threaded seal connection and the relatively long threads, loading and unloading the water supply device requires manual rotation of 6-7 turns. During drilling, drill rods need to be continuously connected, necessitating frequent water supply operations, consuming significant auxiliary time and impacting drilling efficiency. As the drill rod diameter increases, the accompanying water supply device becomes increasingly heavy, increasing the labor intensity for workers and posing a safety hazard as the device is prone to falling and injuring personnel. Furthermore, unloading the water supply device requires multiple rotations, necessitating continuous operation near the device, resulting in water accumulation inside the drill rod that wets workers, creating a poor working environment. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a self-propelled water canister for tunnel drilling rigs and its operation method, overcoming the technical difficulties of time-consuming and labor-intensive water canister loading and unloading during drilling operations. In this invention, the water canister moves in a controlled manner on the drill rod string, requiring only the subsequent installation of the drill rod without disassembling the water canister; reducing the labor intensity of workers; and preventing workers from getting wet, improving the working environment, and allowing for quick connection between the water canister and the end of the drill rod.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The water toilet assembly includes a water toilet body, a sealing plate, an opening and closing cylinder, and a sealing ring; one end of the sealing plate is installed on the side wall of the water toilet body via a pin, and the other end of the sealing plate is connected to one end of the opening and closing cylinder, which is connected to the water toilet body; a front sealing ring and a rear sealing ring are installed at the front and rear ends of the water toilet body; by extending and retracting the opening and closing cylinder, the sealing plate rotates around the pin, thereby sealing or opening the rear end of the water toilet body.
[0007] The sealing assembly includes an outer cylinder, a front outer end cap, a front inner end cap, an inner cylinder, a rubber sleeve, a support cylinder, a rear outer end cap, a rear inner end cap, and a rotary sealing ring. All components of the sealing assembly are coaxially installed, from the inside out as the rubber sleeve, support cylinder, inner cylinder, and outer cylinder. A rotary sealing ring is installed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and is positioned by the front and rear outer end caps at both ends. The rubber sleeve is positioned by the front and rear inner end caps at both ends. An oil port is provided on the side of the outer cylinder. The side of the inner cylinder has evenly distributed through holes. The side of the support cylinder has evenly distributed through holes. Under the action of external high-pressure oil, the rubber sleeve deforms and wraps around the internal drill rod.

[0016] Specifically, the transmission ratio between the motor output wheel and the transmission wheel is 1:2.
