[0056] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] See below Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a control method for a drill rod storage mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0058] Specific steps may include:

[0059] S101: If a departure instruction is received, the rotary cylinder is controlled to drive the center rod to rotate around the central axis, so that the alternative drill rod in the drill rod position is rotated to a position corresponding to the entrance and exit;

[0060] Among them, this embodiment can be applied to a drilling rig equipped with a drill rod storage mechanism, which includes an upper bracket, a lower bracket, a center rod, a rotating cylinder, a positioning disc, a pallet and a manipulator, the upper bracket, the lower bracket and the manipulator are installed on the mast of the drilling rig, the center rod is rotatably installed between the upper bracket and the lower bracket, the rotating cylinder is connected to the center rod, the positioning disc and the pallet are fixedly installed on the center rod, the positioning disc includes a plurality of drill rod positions, the positioning disc is used to limit the alternative drill rod carried by the pallet to the corresponding drill rod positions, and the upper bracket and the lower bracket are provided with entrances and exits allowing drill rods to pass through at the same position.

[0061] The upper bracket is located at the upper part of the drill rod storage mechanism, providing support and stability for the entire mechanism. The lower bracket is located at the lower part of the drill rod storage mechanism, corresponding to the upper bracket, and together provide support for the entire mechanism.

[0062] The upper bracket and the lower bracket are both provided with an entrance and an exit at the same position. The entrance and the exit are passages in the drill rod storage mechanism that allow drill rods to pass through. The shape and size of the entrance and the exit match the drill rod clamping position. When the positioning faceplate is rotated to the entrance and the exit position, the alternative drill rod can be conveniently taken out or put in through the entrance and the exit.

[0063] The center rod is rotatably mounted between the upper bracket and the lower bracket. When the rotary cylinder is working, the center rod will rotate accordingly, thereby driving the positioning disc and the support plate mounted on the center rod to rotate together. Specifically, the center rod can be mounted between the upper bracket and the lower bracket through a bearing or other rotating device to ensure that the center rod can rotate smoothly.

[0064] The rotary cylinder is the power source for driving the center rod to rotate. When receiving the control signal, the rotary cylinder will extend and retract, thereby pushing the center rod to rotate to the specified position. The rotary cylinder and the center rod can be connected by pins, flanges and other devices to ensure stable transmission.

[0065] The positioning faceplate is a device used to position and fix the alternative drill rods in the drill rod storage mechanism. The positioning faceplate can be circular or polygonal, and the positioning faceplate is provided with multiple drill rod positions. Each drill rod position is used to limit the position of the alternative drill rod. Specifically, the positioning faceplate can be fixedly mounted on the center rod and rotate with the rotation of the center rod. When the center rod rotates to the specified position, the drill rod position on the positioning faceplate will also be aligned with the entrance and exit, which is convenient for taking out and putting in the drill rod.

[0066] The support plate is a planar structure used to carry the alternative drill rod. The shape and size of the support plate match the positioning faceplate and is installed below the positioning faceplate (i.e., the support plate is set at the lower end of the center rod). When the alternative drill rod is placed on the drill rod position of the positioning faceplate, the support plate will support and stabilize the drill rod.

[0067] The manipulator is an automated device used to clamp, move and release drill rods in the drill rod magazine. The manipulator can move along a specific path and has the function of clamping and releasing drill rods. The manipulator is installed on the mast of the drilling rig, usually near the entrance and exit of the drill rod magazine. In this way, when the center rod is rotated to the specified position, the manipulator can easily clamp and move the alternative drill rods.

[0068] The outbound instruction is an instruction for taking out the alternative drill rod from the drill rod storage mechanism and connecting it to the power head of the drilling rig. The outbound instruction can be issued by the control system of the drilling rig. After receiving the outbound instruction, the control system of the drill rod storage mechanism can start the rotary cylinder to drive the center rod to rotate around the central axis. When the center rod rotates, the positioning disc and the support plate fixedly mounted on the center rod will also rotate together. A plurality of drill rod clamps are provided on the positioning disc, and alternative drill rods can be provided in the drill rod clamps. Therefore, when the center rod rotates, the drill rod clamps and the alternative drill rods therein will also move together.

[0069] The upper bracket and the lower bracket of the drill rod storage mechanism are provided with an entrance and exit for allowing the drill rod to pass through at the same position. When the center rod rotates to the position corresponding to the entrance and exit, a drill rod clamp on the positioning faceplate will be aligned with the entrance and exit to facilitate the removal of the alternative drill rod.

[0070] S102: Control the manipulator to swing from an initial position to a first preset position and clamp the alternative drill rod;

[0071] The manipulator is an automated device in the drill rod storage mechanism for clamping, moving and releasing drill rods. Before the drill rod replacement operation begins, the manipulator is located in the initial position. The initial position is the parking position of the manipulator when it is idle or waiting for instructions, ensuring that the manipulator does not interfere with the operation of other components. This embodiment does not limit the number of manipulators in the drill rod storage mechanism, and takes the example of two manipulators, that is, the mast of the drilling rig is equipped with an upper manipulator and a lower manipulator.

[0072] When the drill rod storage mechanism receives the outbound instruction and the alternative drill rod has been rotated to the position corresponding to the entrance and exit, the control system will send a control signal to the manipulator to control the manipulator to start the operation of clamping the drill rod. Specifically, the manipulator can swing along a preset path to a first preset position. The first preset position is a position that enables the manipulator to clamp the alternative drill rod to ensure that the clamping process can proceed smoothly.

[0073] S103: Controlling the manipulator to swing to a second preset position so that the drilling rig connects the power head to the tail of the alternative drill rod;

[0074] When the alternative drill rod is successfully clamped, the manipulator can be controlled to swing from the first preset position to the second preset position, and the second preset position is a position where the central axis of the alternative drill rod coincides with the central axis of the power head.

[0075] After the manipulator reaches the second preset position, the manipulator continues to clamp the alternative drill rod to prevent the alternative drill rod from falling. The power head is a component in the drilling rig that provides rotational power. After the manipulator reaches the second preset position, the drilling rig can connect the joint of the power head to the tail of the alternative drill rod.

[0076] The power head and the alternative drill rod can be connected by threads. After the manipulator reaches the second preset position, the power head can move downward and rotate forward so as to be connected with the tail of the alternative drill rod.

[0077] S104: Control the manipulator to release the alternative drill rod and swing it to the initial position.

[0078] After the power head is connected to the tail of the alternative drill rod, the manipulator can be controlled to release the alternative drill rod and swing from the second preset position to the initial position. If the outbound instruction is received again, the operations of S101-S104 can be performed again. The above-mentioned process of executing S101-S104 is the outbound process.

[0079] Upon receiving the outbound instruction, this embodiment controls the rotary cylinder to drive the center rod to rotate and rotate the alternative drill rod to the entrance and exit. The manipulator is controlled to swing from the initial position to the first preset position and clamp the alternative drill rod, and then the manipulator continues to swing to the second preset position to ensure that the central axis of the alternative drill rod coincides with the central axis of the power head, so as to facilitate the rapid connection between the power head and the tail of the drill rod. After the power head and the alternative drill rod are connected, the manipulator releases the alternative drill rod and returns to the initial position. The above process can realize automatic rod changing, improve the working efficiency of the drilling rig, and meet the needs of efficient drilling operations.

[0080] When the drilling operation is completed or the drill rod needs to be replaced, the drill rod connected to the power head needs to be safely and accurately stored back to the drill rod storage mechanism. Based on the above drill rod storage mechanism, the drill rod storage can also be realized in the following ways. The specific process includes:

[0081] Step A1: If a storage instruction is received, the power head is controlled to lift the drill rod to be stored to a third preset position, and the connection between the drill rod to be stored and other drill rods is released.

[0082] After receiving the storage instruction, the power head moves upward to lift the drill rod from the underground or drilling position. In this embodiment, the drill rod connected to the power head is called the drill rod to be stored. When the drill rod to be stored is lifted to the third preset position, the drill rod to be stored has left the drilling position, so as to perform the storage operation.

[0083] After the drill rod to be stored is lifted to the third preset position, the connection between the drill rod to be stored and the other drill rods needs to be released. In this embodiment, the upper clamp and the lower clamp can be used to clamp the drill rod to be stored and the other drill rods respectively, and the connection between the drill rod to be stored and the other drill rods can be released by controlling the rotation of the upper clamp and / or the lower clamp.

[0084] This is usually achieved through a specific connection mechanism or locking device. The control system sends a control signal to these mechanisms or devices to instruct them to start working to release the connection between the drill pipe to be stored and other drill pipes.

[0085] Step A2: Control the manipulator to swing to the second preset position and clamp the drill rod to be stored, so as to release the connection between the power head and the drill rod to be stored.

[0086] After releasing the connection between the drill rod to be stored and other drill rods, this embodiment can control the manipulator to swing to the second preset position; when the manipulator reaches the second preset position, it can accurately clamp the drill rod to be stored, while ensuring that the connection between the drill rod to be stored and the power head can be safely released.

[0087] Step A3: Determine whether there is an idle drill rod position at the position corresponding to the entrance and exit; if so, control the manipulator to swing to the first preset position and place the drill rod to be stored in the idle drill rod position; if not, control the rotating cylinder to drive the center rod to rotate around the central axis so that the idle drill rod is positioned at the position corresponding to the entrance and exit.

[0088] Among them, this embodiment can determine whether there is an idle drill rod position (that is, a drill rod position without a drill rod) at a position corresponding to an entrance and exit of the drill rod library (that is, a position where a drill rod is put in or taken out). Specifically, this embodiment can determine whether there is an idle drill rod position by using a detection device such as a sensor or a camera.

[0089] If there is an idle drill rod position at the position corresponding to the entrance and exit, the manipulator is controlled to swing to the first preset position and the drill rod to be stored is placed in the idle drill rod position.

[0090] If there is no vacant drill rod position at the position corresponding to the entrance and exit, the rotating cylinder is controlled to drive the center rod to rotate around the central axis so that the vacant drill rod is positioned at the position corresponding to the entrance and exit, and then the manipulator is controlled to swing to this first preset position and place the drill rod to be stored in the vacant drill rod position.

[0091] Step A4: After the drill rod to be stored is placed in the idle drill rod clamping position, the manipulator is controlled to release the drill rod to be stored and swing to the initial position.

[0092] After the drill rod to be stored is placed in the idle drill rod position, the present embodiment controls the manipulator to release the drill rod and swing it back to the initial position so as to respond to the next operation instruction at any time. The process of executing steps A1 to A4 is the storage process.

[0093] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic loading and unloading drill rod warehouse provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a robot provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the figure, 1 represents a rotary cylinder, 2 represents an upper bracket, 3 represents an upper manipulator, 4 represents a center rod, 5 represents a lower bracket, 6 represents a buffer pad, 7 represents a support plate, 8 represents a lower manipulator, 9 represents a positioning disc, 10 represents a mast, 11 represents a power head, 12 represents a rod change detection proximity switch, 13 represents a drill rod, 14 represents a drill rod warehouse proximity switch, 15 represents a manipulator limit proximity switch, 16 represents a pinch claw proximity switch, 17 represents a pinch claw, 18 represents a pinch claw cylinder, 19 represents a manipulator swing cylinder, 20 represents an upper clamp, 21 represents a lower clamp, and 22 represents a rod unloading cylinder. The above-mentioned rotary cylinder can be replaced by a cylinder + ratchet mechanism, and the rotation of the drill rod warehouse can also be driven by a rotary motor. Figure 3 The position of the center of the power head is also shown.

[0094] As for Figure 1 , Figure 2 Further introduction to the corresponding embodiment, during the outbound process, the rotating cylinder can be controlled to drive the center rod to rotate around the central axis in the following manner: control the rotating cylinder to drive the center rod to rotate forward around the central axis by a preset angle; wherein the preset angle is the angular interval between adjacent drill rod positions; correspondingly, during the warehousing process, after the drill rod to be stored is placed in the vacant drill rod position, the rotating cylinder can also be controlled to drive the center rod to rotate reversely around the central axis by the preset angle.

[0095] As a feasible implementation, the positioning faceplate includes N drill rod clamps, and the N drill rod clamps are evenly distributed at preset angle intervals, N ≥ 2; the support plate is provided with N proximity switch trigger devices, and the N proximity switch trigger devices are evenly distributed at preset angle intervals, and the lower bracket is provided with a drill rod warehouse proximity switch;

[0096] Correspondingly, this embodiment can determine whether the proximity switch is triggered by the drill rod storage proximity switch trigger device; if so, it is determined that the drill rod holder is rotated to the position corresponding to the entrance and exit; if not, it is determined that the drill rod holder has not yet been rotated to the position corresponding to the entrance and exit.

[0097] As for Figure 1 Further introduction to the corresponding embodiment, after the drilling rig connects the power head with the tail of the alternative drill rod, it can continue to determine whether the drilling rig has a need to connect the drill rod; if so, the manipulator is controlled to clamp the alternative drill rod according to preset conditions, so that the head of the alternative drill rod is connected to the tail of the previous drill rod under the drive of the power head.

[0098] As for Figure 1 , Figure 3 In the further introduction of the corresponding embodiment, the manipulator includes a gripper, a gripper oil cylinder and a swing oil cylinder; the gripper oil cylinder is used to control the gripper to clamp or release the drill rod, and the swing oil cylinder is used to control the gripper to swing. In this embodiment, the gripper can be controlled by the gripper oil cylinder to clamp and release the drill rod; in this embodiment, the gripper can also be controlled by the swing oil cylinder to change the position of the gripper.

[0106] The mast of the drilling rig is also provided with a rod change detection proximity switch for detecting whether the power head is at the rod change position and a depth sensor for detecting the moving distance of the power head. The power head is provided with a power head speed sensor.

[0107] The automatic rod loading and unloading drill rod warehouse is provided with a controller, which collects sensor and proximity switch signals, determines the position of the drill rod and the drill rod warehouse and the connection status of the drill rod, makes a control decision, outputs a signal to the solenoid valve, drives the corresponding oil cylinder to move, and realizes the rod loading and unloading function.

[0108] The solenoid valves include upper / lower manipulator swing-in solenoid valve, upper / lower manipulator swing-out solenoid valve, upper / lower claw clamping solenoid valve, upper / lower claw release solenoid valve, upper / lower claw floating solenoid valve, drill rod storage forward rotation solenoid valve, drill rod storage reverse rotation solenoid valve, rod unloading cylinder extension solenoid valve, rod unloading cylinder retraction solenoid valve and other solenoid valves.

[0109] The automatic rod connection and unloading control method provided in this embodiment includes a rod connection control process and a rod unloading control process.

[0110] If the required drilling depth is greater than the maximum drilling depth of a single drill rod, when the controller receives the sensor signal and determines that the driving depth of the power head reaches the maximum stroke position, the connecting rod control is performed, including the following steps:

[0111] Step B1: The power head connector is separated from the drill pipe;

[0112] The controller controls the lower clamping cylinder to clamp the tail of the drilled drill rod (hereinafter referred to as the second drill rod) through the lower clamp clamping solenoid valve; controls the power head to reverse and detach from the drill rod through the power head reversal solenoid valve; and controls the power head to lift back to the top position through the power head push-up solenoid valve.

[0113] Step B2: Drill pipe out of the warehouse;

[0114] The controller controls the drill rod warehouse to rotate forward around the central axis by one position through the forward solenoid valve of the drill rod warehouse, so that the drill rod to be connected stops at the entrance and exit position in the drill rod warehouse (at this time, the controller will receive the signal output by the proximity switch of the drill rod warehouse, and there is no output signal from the proximity switch after leaving the entrance and exit position). Then, the upper / lower manipulator swing-out solenoid valve is used to simultaneously control the upper / lower manipulator swing cylinder to shorten synchronously, so that the manipulator swings out to the position of grabbing the drill rod (at this time, the controller will receive the signal output by the manipulator limit proximity switch). Then, the upper / lower claw clamping solenoid valve is used to simultaneously control the upper / lower manipulator claw cylinder to extend, so that the claw clamps the drill rod at the entrance and exit position of the drill rod warehouse (hereinafter referred to as the first drill rod, and the controller will receive the signal output by the claw proximity switch at this time). Then, the upper / lower manipulator swing-in solenoid valve is used to simultaneously control the upper and lower manipulator swing cylinder to extend to the maximum, and the manipulator swing-in pressure sensor signal is collected at the same time to make the drill rod out of the warehouse and swing the drill rod into the center position of the power head axis.

[0115] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the drill rod is swung to the center position of the power head axis according to the change of the manipulator's swing pressure.

[0116] Step B3: The power head joint is connected to the drill pipe;

[0117] In this step, the power head is controlled to rotate forward through the power head forward solenoid valve, and the power head is controlled to descend through the power head thrust descending solenoid valve. At the same time, the power head speed sensor signal is collected to connect the power head connector to the tail of the first drill pipe.

[0118] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the power head joint is connected to the tail of the first drill pipe according to the change of the rotation speed of the power head.

[0119] Step B4: Drill pipe connection;

[0120] In this step, the upper / lower claw floating solenoid valves are used to synchronously control the floating of the upper / lower manipulator claws, so that the drill rod will not slip due to gravity, but can move under the torque and push of the power head; the power head is controlled to continue to rotate forward and descend, and the power head speed sensor signal is collected at the same time to connect the head of the first drill rod with the tail of the second drill rod.

[0121] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the first drill rod head is connected to the second drill rod tail according to the change in the rotation speed of the power head.

[0122] Step B5: the robot returns to its original position;

[0123] In this step, the upper / lower claws are released by releasing the solenoid valves and controlling the claw cylinders of the upper / lower manipulators to shorten so that the claws are released (after the claws are released, the claw proximity switch has no output signal); the upper / lower manipulator swing-out solenoid valves are used to control the upper / lower manipulator swing cylinders to shorten synchronously so that the upper and lower manipulators are swung back to their original positions (at this time, the controller will receive the signal output by the drill rod library proximity switch); the lower clamping solenoid valve is used to control the lower clamping cylinder to release the tail of the second drill rod that has been drilled, completing a rod connection.

[0124] This step can measure the depth in the following way: each time the drill rod library completes a rod connection action, the number of drill rods n increases by 1, the depth increases by the drill rod length Ld, the controller collects the depth L1 of the power head descending drilling, and calculates the actual drilling depth = L1 + n * Ld - L0. L0 is the reference depth, that is, the advancement depth when the drill bit contacts the ground.

[0125] The controller receives the sensor signal, determines that the drill bit has drilled to the designed depth, and then performs rod unloading control, including the following steps:

[0126] Step C1: Drill pipe detachment.

[0127] The controller outputs a control signal to control the lifting of the power head through the power head push-up solenoid valve, and at the same time collects the power head drilling depth sensor signal, and lifts it to the predetermined unloading height position; if the depth sensor fails, the lifting height will stop when the rod change detection proximity switch position is reached. The lower clamping solenoid valve controls the lower clamping cylinder to clamp the tail of the second drill rod, and the upper clamping solenoid valve controls the upper clamping cylinder to clamp the head of the first drill rod. The unloading cylinder extension solenoid valve controls the unloading cylinder to extend, so that the first drill rod rotates and loosens it from the second drill rod; the upper clamp release solenoid valve controls the upper clamping cylinder to loosen the first drill rod; the unloading cylinder retraction solenoid valve controls the unloading cylinder to retract, so that the upper clamp returns to its original position.

[0128] Step C2: The power head connector is separated from the drill pipe;

[0129] In this step, the upper / lower manipulator swing-in solenoid valve is used to simultaneously control the upper / lower manipulator swing cylinder to extend to the maximum, and the manipulator swing-in pressure sensor signal is collected at the same time. According to the change of the manipulator swing-in pressure, the manipulator is swung to the drill rod position of the center axis of the power head. At this time, the manipulator limit switch has no signal output; then the upper / lower claw clamping solenoid valve is used to simultaneously control the extension of the upper / lower manipulator claw cylinder, so that the claw clamps the first drill rod. During clamping, the controller will receive the signal output by the claw proximity switch; then the power head is reversed through the power head reversal solenoid valve, and the power head is lifted through the power head push-up solenoid valve at the same time, so that the power head is separated from the first drill rod. When the power head reversal torque is not enough to loosen the power head joint and the first drill rod, the two sections of drill rod can be loosened, and the power head joint can be loosened by clamping the power head joint with the upper clamp.

[0130] Step C3: Drill pipe storage;

[0131] In this step, the upper / lower manipulator swings out the solenoid valve and controls the upper / lower manipulator swing cylinder to shorten synchronously, so that the first drill rod stops at the entrance and exit position in the drill rod warehouse. At this time, the controller will receive the signal output by the manipulator limit proximity switch; the upper / lower claw release solenoid valve controls the upper / lower manipulator's claw cylinder to shorten synchronously to release the claw. After the claw is released, the claw proximity switch has no output signal; the controller then controls the drill rod warehouse to reverse one position around the central axis through the drill rod warehouse reversal solenoid valve. After receiving the signal output by the drill rod warehouse proximity switch, the controller determines that the first drill rod has entered the warehouse.

[0132] Step C4: The power head joint is connected to the drill pipe;

[0133] The controller controls the descent of the power head through the power head push-down solenoid valve, and at the same time collects the power head drilling depth sensor signal. After determining that the power head has descended close to the tail of the second drill rod, the power head is controlled to rotate forward through the power head forward rotation solenoid valve, and at the same time, the power head is controlled to descend through the power head push-down solenoid valve, and at the same time, the power head speed sensor signal and the power head drilling depth sensor signal are collected to connect the power head to the tail of the second drill rod.

[0134] Repeat the control process of steps C1 to C4 to continue unloading and storing the second drill rod. Repeat this process until the last drill rod is lifted and the power head is raised to the top.

[0135] The open-pit drilling rig automatic drilling control system provided in this embodiment can also be provided with a rod change detection proximity switch. When unloading the rod, the power head needs to be lifted to a predetermined rod unloading height position. Generally, the rod unloading height position is detected by a depth sensor. If the depth sensor fails and the lifting height exceeds the predetermined height and reaches the rod change detection proximity switch position, the lifting is stopped to achieve double protection.

[0136] The above embodiments can improve the automation degree of drilling operations, have simple operation, reliable performance, good maintainability, reduce labor intensity, effectively reduce the auxiliary operation time of drilling by a down-the-hole drill, and improve work efficiency.
