[0002] Open-pit drilling refers to the blasthole drilling process performed in open-pit mines. During this process, a large amount of rock debris is generated.

[0064] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. People skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.
[0065] See also Figures 1 to 13 . It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of the present invention. Therefore, they have no substantive technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the present invention without affecting the efficacy and purpose that can be achieved by the present invention. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.
[0066] The following embodiments are for illustration only and can be combined with each other, and are not limited to the contents presented in the following single embodiments.
[0067] See also Figures 1-13 The present invention provides an open-pit mine rock debris collection and shaping robot arm, comprising a positioning shaft 1, an annular cover 2, a spatial position adjustment mechanism 3, a collection mechanism 4 and a squeezing mechanism 5;
[0068] One end of the positioning shaft 1 is connected to the spatial position adjustment mechanism 3, and the other end is connected to the blasthole. The spatial position adjustment mechanism 3 is used to adjust the spatial position of the positioning shaft 1;
[0069] An annular cover 2 is fixedly connected to the end of the positioning shaft 1 connected to the blasthole. The annular cover 2 and the positioning shaft 1 together form a chip chamber with a closed top and an open bottom. A squeezing mechanism 5 connected to the positioning shaft 1 is provided in the chip chamber. The squeezing mechanism 5 is used to push the rock chips away from the blasthole so that the rock chips come into contact with the inner circumference of the annular cover 2 and are compacted.
[0070] The collecting mechanism 4 is rotatably connected to the positioning shaft 1 , and is used to push the distal rock cuttings toward the center of the blasthole.
[0071] In this embodiment, the present invention can handle rock debris generated during open-pit mining operations, significantly reducing the need for manual labor. This improves operational efficiency and significantly reduces labor costs. Using a spatial position adjustment mechanism, the robotic arm can precisely adjust the spatial position of the positioning shaft, ensuring accurate insertion into the blasthole and sealing it, preventing rock debris from the outer periphery of the blasthole from falling back into the blasthole and impacting subsequent operations. The design of the extrusion mechanism compacts the rock debris upon contact with the inner circumference of the annular shield. This compaction forms a strong wall, reducing the inflow of rainwater and preventing strong winds from blowing dust into the blasthole. The collection mechanism rotates and pushes the distal rock debris toward the center of the blasthole, helping to collect scattered rock debris at the distal end of the blasthole for easier utilization in subsequent operations. This also improves operational safety. Compared to manual rock debris handling, the use of a robotic arm reduces direct contact between personnel and rock debris, thereby reducing the risk of damage to on-site workers.
[0072] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , the squeezing mechanism 5 includes a flexible bag 501, a second spring 502, a flexible plate and a rigid plate 503;
[0073] The flexible bladder 501 wraps around the outer circumference of the positioning shaft 1. The positioning shaft 1 is provided with a pipeline connected to the flexible bladder 501. The pipeline is used to introduce gas / liquid. One end of the pipeline is connected to the flexible bladder 501, and the other end extends to the top of the positioning shaft 1 and is connected to an external gas / liquid injection device.
[0074] At least two detachable rigid plates 503 are sleeved on the outer circumference of the flexible bladder 501. The rigid plates 503 are slidably connected to the top of the annular cover 2. The rigid plates 503 are provided with an annular through-groove 5031. The flexible plates are embedded in the annular through-groove 5031 and slidably connected to the rigid plates 503. Two adjacent flexible plates are connected by a plurality of second springs 502.
[0075] When the flexible bag 501 is expanded by the introduction of gas / liquid, it abuts against the rigid plate 503 and slides away from the center, and the flexible plate fills the gap between the two adjacent rigid plates 503;
[0076] When the flexible bag 501 releases gas / liquid and contracts, the elastic force of the second spring 502 causes the flexible plate to contract, so that the rigid plate 503 slides toward the center. In this embodiment, the design of the extrusion mechanism allows the rock chips to be compacted after contacting the inner circumference of the annular cover. After compaction, the rock chips form a wall of a certain strength, which can reduce the inflow of rainwater or prevent strong winds from blowing dust into the blasthole. In this embodiment, the flexible bag 501 can be made of rubber material, the rigid plate 503 can be made of steel plate, and the flexible plate can be made of wear-resistant material or steel sheet. The purpose of using steel sheet is that the steel sheet can be deformed and the steel plate is not easy to deform. When the steel plate moves radially outward, most of the rock chips are squeezed and shaped by the steel plate, and the remaining rock chips contact the flexible plate and are squeezed and shaped. Another purpose of providing the flexible plate is to protect the outer surface of the flexible bag 501.
[0077] In this embodiment, Figure 4 The spatial position adjustment mechanism 3 includes a base 301, a rotating base 302, a first steering gear, a second steering gear 304, a third steering gear 305, a fourth steering gear 306, a first connecting arm 307, a second connecting arm 308 and a third connecting arm 309;
[0078] The rotating base 302 is horizontally rotatably connected to the base 301 and driven for horizontal rotation by a first steering gear. The first connecting arm 307 is rotatably connected to the rotating base 302 and driven for rotation by a second steering gear 304. The second connecting arm 308 is rotatably connected to the first connecting arm 307 and driven for rotation by a third steering gear 305. The third connecting arm 309 is rotatably connected to the second connecting arm 308 and driven for rotation by a fourth steering gear 306. The third connecting arm 309 is fixedly connected to the positioning shaft 1. In this embodiment, the spatial position adjustment mechanism allows the robotic arm to precisely adjust the spatial position of the positioning shaft, ensuring that the positioning shaft can be accurately inserted into the blasthole, sealing it and preventing rock debris from falling back into the blasthole and affecting subsequent operations. In this embodiment, the steering gear is a mechatronic device that integrates a motor, position feedback, speed control, and position control functions. This is prior art and will not be further described. In this embodiment, the base 301 can be mounted on an external vehicle body for ease of transportation. In this embodiment, the spatial position of the positioning shaft 1 is adjusted by the spatial position adjustment mechanism 3 so that the positioning shaft 1 can be accurately inserted into the blast hole.
[0079] In this embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 11 The collecting mechanism 4 includes a second rotating frame 401, a fifth motor 402, a first gear 403, a second gear 404, a first collecting plate 405, a first connecting rod 406, a first rack 407, a second collecting plate, a second connecting rod, a second rack and a reciprocating drive assembly;
[0080] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 The second rotating frame 401 is rotatably mounted on the positioning shaft 1, the second rotating frame 401 is fixedly connected to the first gear 403, the first gear 403 is coaxial with the positioning shaft 1, the first gear 403 is meshed with the second gear 404, the second gear 404 is driven to rotate by the fifth motor 402, and the fifth motor 402 is fixedly connected to the positioning shaft 1;
[0081] The second collecting plate has the same structure as the first collecting plate 405 and is centrally symmetrically arranged. The second connecting rod has the same structure as the first connecting rod 406 and is centrally symmetrically arranged. The second rack has the same structure as the first rack 407 and is centrally symmetrically arranged.
[0082] like Figure 7-10 The first collecting plate 405 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting rod 406, the other end of the first connecting rod 406 is movably connected to the first rack 407, and the first rack 407 is transmission-connected to the reciprocating drive assembly;
[0083] The second collecting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting rod, the other end of the second connecting rod is movably connected to the second rack, and the second rack is transmission-connected to the same reciprocating drive assembly;
[0084] The reciprocating drive assembly is connected to the second rotatable frame 401 and is used to drive the rack to reciprocate and extend. When the rack is retracted, the collection plate contacts the ground; when the rack is extended, there is a gap between the collection plate and the ground. In this embodiment, the collection mechanism can rotate and push the distal rock debris toward the center of the blasthole. This helps to collect the rock debris scattered at the distal end of the blasthole top for easy use in subsequent operations. In this embodiment, the fifth motor 402 can be a servo motor. Combined with the control software, the servo motor can control its rotation angle. When the second rotatable frame 401 needs to rotate, the output shaft of the fifth motor 402 rotates, driving the second gear 404 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 404 drives the first gear 403 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 403 drives the second rotatable frame 401 to rotate, thereby achieving the fifth motor 402 driving the second rotatable frame 401 to rotate.
[0085] In this embodiment, Figure 10 , the first collecting plate 405 includes a curved plate 4051 and a baffle 4052;
[0086] One end of the arc plate 4051 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and the other end is serrated and in contact with the ground. The center of the arc plate 4051 is facing the central axis of the positioning shaft 1, and the side of the arc plate 4051 away from the axis of the positioning shaft 1 is connected with a baffle 4052. In this embodiment, the bottom edge of the arc plate 4051 has a serrated blade, which can easily cut into the scattered rock debris pile. The width of the arc plate 4051 is designed according to the range of rock debris scattering around common blast holes, and the general width is about 1.2-1.5 meters. Baffle 4052 is set at the rear edge of the arc plate 4051 to prevent rock debris from escaping during the collection operation. In this embodiment, the connection method of baffle 4052 and arc plate 4051 can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection through bolts and nuts.
[0087] In this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the reciprocating drive assembly includes a sixth motor 411, a third gear 412, a fourth gear 413 and a fifth gear 414;
[0088] The fourth gear 413 and the fifth gear 414 are fixedly connected and coaxially arranged. The fourth gear 413 and the fifth gear 414 are rotatably mounted on the positioning shaft 1. The fourth gear 413 is meshed with the third gear 412. The third gear 412 is driven to rotate by the sixth motor 411. The sixth motor 411 is fixedly mounted on the second rotating frame 401.
[0089] The fifth gear 414 is meshed with the first rack 407 and the second rack at the same time. The first rack 407 is slidably connected to the second rotating frame 401, and the second rack is slidably connected to the second rotating frame 401. In this embodiment, the bottom ends of the first rack 407 and the second rack are provided with T-shaped slides, such as Figure 6 A T-shaped slide groove 4011 is provided on the second rotating frame 401, and the T-shaped slide slides in the T-shaped slide groove 4011; both ends of the T-shaped slide are closed to limit the extreme position of extension or retraction to prevent the rack from falling out during extension and retraction.
[0090] One end of the first rack 407 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 406, and one end of the second rack is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod.
[0091] The rotation point between the first rack 407 and the first connecting rod 406 and the rotation point between the second rack and the second connecting rod are respectively provided with an electromagnet, an adsorption member and a first spring;
[0092] The electromagnets are fixedly connected to their corresponding racks, and the adsorption members are fixedly connected to their corresponding connecting rods;
[0093] A plurality of first springs are also provided at the rotation points of each rack and the corresponding connecting rod;
[0094] When the electromagnet is de-energized, the elastic force of the first spring causes the collecting plate to contact the ground;
[0095] When the electromagnet is energized, it attracts the suction element, overcoming the elastic force of the first spring to create a gap between the collection plate and the ground. In this embodiment, the sixth motor 411 utilizes a forward and reverse servo motor, combined with a PLC or single-chip microcomputer. This controls the reciprocating rotation of the sixth motor 411, driving the rack, which in turn drives the connecting rod, which in turn drives the collection plate. After the collection plate has moved back and forth, collecting the debris within the left and right range of the far end of the blasthole, it is necessary to rotate the collection plate vertically. To do this, the servo control of the sixth motor 411 can be temporarily disconnected. This allows the output shaft of the sixth motor 411 to rotate freely. The fifth motor 402 can then be used to rotate the first gear 403, which in turn drives the second turret 401. The second turret 401 then drives the sixth motor 411, the rack, the connecting rod, and the collection plate, thereby adjusting the collection plate's orientation. Alternatively, the sixth motor 411 can be fixedly mounted to the positioning shaft 1. Likewise, when the collecting plate needs to rotate, the servo control of the sixth motor 411 is temporarily disconnected.
[0096] In this embodiment, a position detection mechanism is also included for controlling the on and off of the electromagnet;
[0097] like Figure 11, the position detection mechanism includes a first photodetector 7, a second photodetector 8 and a controller;
[0098] The first photodetector 7 and the second photodetector 8 are connected to the controller by signal, the controller is electrically connected to the electromagnet, and the first photodetector 7, the second photodetector 8 and the controller are fixedly mounted on the second rotating frame 401;
[0099] When the first photoelectric detector 7 detects that the rack has retracted to the limit position, the first photoelectric detector 7 transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the electromagnet to engage;
[0100] When the second photodetector 8 detects that the rack is extended to the limit position, the second photodetector 8 transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the electromagnet to disconnect. In this embodiment, the controller can be a PLC controller or a single-chip microcomputer. In this embodiment, an L-shaped shielding member is provided on the side of the rack. When the rack is retracted to the limit position, the L-shaped shielding member blocks the first photodetector 7. After the controller detects this signal, it energizes the electromagnet, so that the electromagnet attracts the adsorption member; when the rack is extended to the limit position, the L-shaped shielding member blocks the second photodetector 8. After the controller detects this signal, it deenergizes the electromagnet, so that the elastic force of the first spring causes the collecting plate to contact the ground;
[0101] In this embodiment, a channeling mechanism 6 is further included, which is connected to the positioning shaft 1 and is used to form a channel for the rock debris in the peripheral area of the annular cover 2. In this embodiment, the channeling mechanism is provided to form a channel for the collected rock debris, which is conducive to the drainage of rainwater.
