Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of engineering machinery, and in particular to a drill rod transfer system and a control method. Background Art

[0002] Automatic mining drills are mainly used for underground drilling operations. The drill rods in the drill rod box need to be transported to the frame by a manipulator. However, in the prior art, the drill rods in the drill rod box need to be transferred to a designated transfer device first, and then the drill rods are placed on the frame by a manipulator. The manipulator has many movements and the process is complicated, resulting in low efficiency in drill rod transportation and overall construction. The manipulator, frame, and crawler vehicle are limited by the environment in the tunnel. When transporting drill rods under large negative inclination conditions, the manipulator will interfere with the crawler vehicle or the frame, and the drill rod cannot be automatically transported.

[0003] In addition, the existing drill pipe conveying manipulator sensor systems are all aimed at rotation-translation compound articulated manipulators, and are mainly used to judge and measure the rotation angle of the manipulator, such as CN111042752A and CN116877007A. The existing technology mainly judges the specific positions of the two actions of the manipulator's tilt adjustment and flipping based on the manipulator's movement principle, and does not have a process measurement function.

[0004] Therefore, a drill rod transfer system is needed, which is suitable for drill rod transfer in narrow space and has simple and reliable sensors. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a drill rod transportation system which is suitable for drilling rod transportation in a narrow space and has simple and reliable sensors.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a drill rod transfer system and control method, including a drill rod box, a lifting frame and an electric control system, the drill rod box and a frame are both installed on the lifting frame, the lifting frame is installed on a crawler vehicle, a first opening is provided on the lifting frame, the drill rod in the drill rod box and the frame are perpendicular, and a transfer manipulator is provided on the side of the drill rod box close to the frame; the transfer manipulator includes a lateral moving unit, a vertical moving unit, a longitudinal moving unit, a telescopic unit and a clamp connected in sequence, the electric control system includes a telescopic sensor and a lifting sensor, the telescopic sensor is used to measure the length change of the telescopic unit, and the lifting sensor is used to measure the length change of the vertical moving unit.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this program are:

[0008] 1. This solution simplifies the movement trajectory of the drill rod during transportation. The transportation can be completed by moving along the three coordinate axes of the rectangular coordinates. There is no need to perform arc movements such as upward flipping, which saves the height requirement during drill rod transportation and is suitable for drill rod transportation in narrow spaces.

[0009] 2. The transfer robot adopts a combination of a vertical moving unit and a telescopic unit to adjust the height of the gripper. Compared with using only one lifting drive component, this solution increases the number of drives, and the lifting speed is faster. For the same lifting height, the stroke of a single drive component is shorter and the flexibility is higher. When the telescopic unit crosses the open vertical plate, the minimum height that the beam needs to reach will also be smaller, thereby reducing the movement height of the transfer robot, which is more suitable for drill rod transportation in narrow spaces.

[0010] 3. According to the working characteristics of the rectangular coordinate manipulator, the telescopic sensor and the lifting sensor can use displacement sensors to detect process displacement and improve the accuracy of motion positioning; the combination of the telescopic sensor and the lifting sensor can meet the height calculation, monitoring and control requirements of the gripper under various working conditions, and the system is simple and reliable.

The identification sensor is used to identify whether a drill rod passes by.

[0013] Furthermore, the lateral moving unit is connected to the lower part of the open vertical plate, and the lateral moving unit includes a slide, a rack and a slide rail, the slide rail and the rack are arranged parallel to each other, the outer sides of the slide rail and the rack form a first guide rail for the slide to slide, the slide is sleeved on the first guide rail formed by the rack and the slide rail, the slide is provided with a lateral motor, the output shaft of the lateral motor is provided with a lateral gear, and the lateral gear is meshed with the rack; the vertical moving unit is installed on the slide;

[0018] The lifting sensor is arranged outside the lifting outer cylinder or inside the lifting inner cylinder.

[0019] The present invention aims to provide a control method for a drill rod transfer system, which is suitable for transfer of drill rods in narrow spaces and has a simple and reliable sensor.

[0020] The control method of the drill pipe transfer system comprises the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: Select the row: prepare the drill pipe transfer system, the transverse motor drives the transfer manipulator to select the row, when the slide reaches the specified position, the row selection sensor sends a signal to the transverse motor, and the transverse motor stops working;

[0022] Step 2: Translation: The longitudinal motor drives the telescopic unit and the clamp to move. When the clamp moves to the middle position of the drill pipe box, the translation sensor sends a signal to the longitudinal motor, and the longitudinal motor stops working.

[0023] Step 3: Extend the gripper: The telescopic unit extends downward until the proximity sensor senses that there is a drill rod under the gripper, and the telescopic sensor measures the extension amount; if the telescopic unit extends downward to the maximum value and the proximity sensor still cannot sense the drill rod, the lifting cylinder is driven to lift the crossbeam until the proximity sensor senses that there is a drill rod under the gripper, and the lifting sensor measures the lifting amount;

[0024] Step 4: Grab the drill rod: drive the clamp to clamp the drill rod;

[0025] Step 5: Move to the second opening: The telescopic unit and the lifting cylinder jointly drive the gripper to lift until the gripper and the clamped drill rod are above the top of the drill rod box, and the transverse motor drives the transfer manipulator to move to the second opening of the drill rod box as a whole, and the selected sensor monitors the position in real time;

[0026] Step 6: Sinking detection: The telescopic unit or lifting cylinder drives the clamping claw to descend, so that the identification sensor senses the drill rod.

[0027] Step 7: Align the rack: The telescopic unit and the lifting cylinder jointly drive the clamping jaws to descend, so that the axis of the drill rod is aligned with a specific position on the rack;

[0028] Step 8: Translational conveying: The longitudinal motor drives the clamping claw to move along the crossbeam toward the frame.

[0029] Further, the lifting sensor measures the displacement as a, and the telescopic sensor measures the displacement as b;

[0030] In step 1, the initial values ​​of a and b are determined;

[0031] In step 3, a and b satisfy:

[0032] H1-H2=a1+b1;

[0033] H2 = nd;

[0034] a=a-a1;

[0035] b=b+b1;

[0036] H1-height of the opening riser;

[0037] n-the number of remaining drill rods in the column to be grabbed;

[0038] d-drill pipe diameter;

[0039] a1-the displacement of the lifting cylinder in step 3;

[0040] b1-Change displacement of the telescopic unit in step 3.

[0041] Furthermore, in step five, a and b satisfy: a=a+a1+d; b=b-b1 or a=a+a1; b=b-b1-d.

[0042] Further, in step 7, when the specific position on the frame is higher than the drill rod on the clamp, the clamp is required to rise by a displacement Δ, and a and b satisfy:

[0043] Δ=a2+b2;

[0044] a=a+a2;

[0045] b = b - b2;

[0046] a2-Change in displacement of the lifting cylinder in step seven;

[0047] b2-The displacement of the telescopic unit in step seven.

[0048] Furthermore, in step 7, when the specific position on the frame is lower than the drill rod on the clamp, the clamp is required to be lowered by a displacement Δ, and a and b satisfy:

[0049] Δ=a2+b2;

[0050] a=a-a2;

[0051] b=b+b2;

[0052] a2-Change in displacement of the lifting cylinder in step seven;

[0053] b2-The displacement of the telescopic unit in step seven.

[0054] This solution also has the following effects:

[0055] 1. By setting two proximity sensors (identification sensor and proximity sensor) at the jaw and the second opening position, it is possible to detect whether there is a drill rod in or below the jaw, thereby improving the safety and effectiveness of system operation.

[0056] 2. Use displacement sensors to detect the displacement of the transfer robot during its movement process to improve the accuracy of movement positioning; use a combination of two displacement sensors in the telescopic and lifting cylinders to meet the height calculation, monitoring and control requirements of the gripper under various working conditions. The system is simple and reliable.

[0057] 3. The transfer robot adopts a combination of a vertical moving unit and a telescopic unit to adjust the height of the gripper. Compared with using only one lifting drive component, this solution increases the number of drives, and the lifting speed is faster. For the same lifting height, the stroke of a single drive component is shorter and the flexibility is higher. When the telescopic unit crosses the open vertical plate, the minimum height that the beam needs to reach will also be smaller, thereby reducing the movement height of the transfer robot, which is more suitable for drill rod transportation in narrow spaces.

[0058] 4. During the transportation process, the drill rod can be lowered in the second opening of the drill rod box, without having to completely move the drill rod out of the drill rod box before lowering it. This can shorten the distance between the drill rod box and the frame, thereby reducing the size of the entire drilling rig to adapt to the free space restrictions in a narrow space.

[0094] 5. The clamping jaws 903 clamp the drill rod 5, and the vertical moving unit and the telescopic unit are combined to adjust the clamping jaws 903 back to a height higher than the top of the opening vertical plate 1005;

[0095] 6. The transverse motor 1009 drives the transfer robot 9 to move along the first guide rail to above the second opening of the opening vertical plate 1005;

[0096] 7. The vertical moving unit and the telescopic unit are combined to adjust the height of the clamping jaw 903, so that the clamping jaw 903 and the drill rod 5 clamped by the clamping jaw 903 are lowered to a height suitable for the transportation of the drill rod 5;

[0100] Step 1, row selection: prepare the drill pipe transfer system, the transverse motor 1009 drives the transfer manipulator 9 to select the row, when the slide 1008 reaches the specified position, the row selection sensor 1301c sends a signal to the transverse motor 1009, and the transverse motor 1009 stops working;

[0101] Step 2: Translation: The longitudinal motor 909 drives the telescopic unit and the clamping jaw 903 to move. When the clamping jaw 903 moves to the middle position of the drill pipe box 10, the translation sensor 1301b sends a signal to the longitudinal motor 909, and the longitudinal motor 909 stops working.
