The model of the PLC is S7-200, which can be used but not limited to this model. During specific operation, a conductive slip ring can be used at the rotating connection of the wire.

[0029] A grabbing assembly 14 is installed on the fixed plate 16, and the grabbing assembly 14 includes a mounting frame 15 mounted on the fixed plate 16. Magnetic adsorption assemblies 18 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the mounting frame 15. Through the manipulator installed on the base plate 1 and the magnetic adsorption assembly 18 on the manipulator, the drill rod can be adsorbed and grabbed by electromagnetic adsorption during operation, and through the two groups of magnetic adsorption assemblies 18 symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame 15, multiple groups of drill rods can be assisted in grabbing at the same time, which can improve the overall efficiency of drill rod grabbing.

[0030] Furthermore, position sensors 17 are installed at both ends of the mounting frame 15 corresponding to the two magnetic adsorption components 18. The model of the position sensor 17 is DJWX-52, which can be used but is not limited to this model. The position sensor 17 is located between the two magnetic adsorption components 18.

[0034] Working principle of the present invention:

[0035] When the drill rod needs to be loaded, the base plate 1 is fixed on the corresponding workbench. Before work, the embedding disk 222 is rotated, and the embedding disk 222 drives the bidirectional screw rod 221 to rotate as a whole. The bidirectional screw rod 221 is threadedly engaged with the sliding seat 223, thereby moving the sliding seat 223, and then moving the magnetic adsorption component 18 to the specified position.

[0036] During operation, the first servo motor 4, the second servo motor 7, the first rotating motor, the second rotating motor and the base motor are started. When the magnetic adsorption component 18 reaches the drill rod, the drill rod is assisted by the electromagnet 20 on the magnetic adsorption component 18 for electromagnetic adsorption. During adsorption, the first servo motor 4 is started, and the first servo motor 4 drives the hinge ring 5 to rotate as a whole, thereby pulling the connecting rod 6 as a whole, thereby pulling one end of the second support rod 10, thereby realizing the up and down swinging of the grabbing component 14, the second servo motor 7 drives the first support rod 8 to rotate as a whole, thereby realizing the forward and backward swinging of the grabbing component 14, the first rotating motor drives the third support rod 12 to rotate as a whole, thereby causing the grabbing component 14 to rotate and flip as a whole, the second rotating motor drives the rotating frame 13 to rotate, thereby causing the grabbing component 14 to swing left and right around the third support rod 12, and at the same time, the base motor drives the rotating seat 2 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating seat 2 to rotate as a whole, thereby facilitating the overall movement of the robot to the specified position for extraction.

[0037] During adsorption, the electromagnet 20 is attached to the drill rod. When the electromagnet 20 presses on the drill rod, the buffer spring 214 is shortened and compressed as a whole, thereby effectively absorbing and buffering the downward pressure, and minimizing the damage to the drill rod surface caused by the electromagnet 20 during the downward pressure and adsorption process.

[0038] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, this specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the invention. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations to the embodiment without creative contribution as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
