Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to anchoring technology, and more particularly to anchoring technology for marine engineering equipment, specifically an underwater rock wall drilling anchor and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] There are many types of marine anchors, but whether they are rod-mounted or rodless, and even the current high-performance marine anchors, they are all designed for soft or relatively flat seabeds and cannot be used on hard rock walls. Currently, there is a lack of anchors, both domestically and internationally, that can be installed on underwater rock walls for mooring underwater facilities and equipment. A search of domestic and international literature has revealed some land-based cliff anchor technologies and equipment. For example, Chinese patent (CN203905977U) describes a small-diameter inverted wedge anchor bolt, which consists of a wedge, a washer, and a rod. The rod is inserted into the anchor hole, and a washer is fitted onto its exposed end to ensure it fits tightly against the rock face. A wedge is then used to invert the rod end along an axial groove, causing the end to expand into an inverted wedge head, which tightens the washer, forcing the entire anchor bolt to bear the force and anchoring it to the rock wall. However, because land-based equipment in the marine environment faces not only waterproofing issues but is also affected by water currents, waves, water pressure, and seawater salinity, these land-based anchors and their construction methods cannot be directly used in the marine environment. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In response to the problems raised in the background art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an underwater rock wall drilling anchor, which has a safe power source and a pneumatic rotary propulsion device, and the anchor rod is designed to be used as a drill rod, which can safely and quickly realize drilling and anchoring of underwater rock walls, providing a safer and more efficient technical means for mooring marine structures on underwater cliffs.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] This invention first proposes an underwater rock wall drilling anchor, comprising a drill bit, a hollow drill rod, a gas-liquid injection device, a gas-driven rotary propulsion device, a high-pressure gas tank, a grouting pipe, a grout pressure vessel, a grout bag, and a frame.

The high-pressure gas tank is connected to the first inlet of the sealed chamber through the high-pressure gas pipe. The high-pressure gas tank is connected to a pneumatic rotary propulsion device through the nozzle, providing power airflow to the pneumatic rotary propulsion device.
[0012] The pneumatic rotary propulsion device is a cup wheel, which includes a housing, a central frame, an output shaft, and multiple cup-shaped blades. The housing is connected to a frame, and the output shaft passes through the middle of the housing and is rotatably connected to the housing. The central frame is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft, and the multiple cup-shaped blades are distributed on the central frame, with the centers of the openings of the multiple cup-shaped blades located on a central circle. The housing has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is connected to a high-pressure gas tank through a jet pipe. The inlet pipe is parallel to the tangent of the central circle where the centers of the openings of the multiple cup-shaped blades are located, and the outlet pipe is parallel to the inlet pipe.
[0013] The frame is a cage-like structure with a first through hole in the middle of one side wall. A first bearing is installed in the first through hole. The outer ring of the first bearing is fixedly connected to the first through hole, and the inner ring is fixedly connected to the hollow drill rod.
[0014] The transmission assembly includes a drive gear and a connecting gear. The drive gear is an internal gear, and the connecting gear is an external gear. The drive gear is connected to the output shaft end of the pneumatic rotary propulsion device, and the connecting gear is connected to the rear end of the hollow drill rod. The connecting gear is inserted into the drive gear and meshes with it.
[0015] The drill bit is a hollow cylindrical structure with multiple radial grooves on its front end face and an opening groove in the middle of the front end face that penetrates the outer circumference of the drill bit. The drill bit has at least two axial through holes, which are distributed outside the first axial central through hole and are both located in the opening groove. The number of grouting holes in the grouting pipe and the hollow drill rod sidewall is the same as the number of axial through holes in the drill bit. Each grouting hole is connected to an axial through hole at its front end and to a grouting pipe at its rear end.
[0016] The housing has a cylindrical inner cavity with an opening at one end, and an annular boss inside the cylindrical inner cavity; the rotating assembly includes a base plate and a limiting ring, the base plate covers the opening of the housing and is located on one side of the annular boss, the base plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing through a second bearing, the limiting ring is connected to the base plate and is located on the other side of the annular boss, and the limiting ring is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing through a third bearing; the sealing assembly includes a first sealing element and a second sealing element, the first sealing element is disposed between the base plate and the inner wall of the housing, and the second sealing element is disposed between the limiting ring and the inner wall of the housing.

[0020] S1. With the help of an underwater robot, the drill bit is pressed tightly against the rock wall, and the hollow drill rod is kept facing upwards at an angle of not less than 30° with the horizontal plane;
[0021] S2. The integrated cable transmits the drilling command, opens the nozzle and high-pressure air pipe of the high-pressure air tank, and the high-pressure air is ejected through the nozzle into the rotary cup wheel. The output shaft of the rotary cup wheel drives the hollow drill rod and drill bit to rotate. When the drill bit cuts the rock wall, the high-pressure air pipe delivers high-pressure air to the hollow drill rod through the gas-liquid injection device, blowing the cuttings outward.
[0022] S3. After drilling is completed, close the nozzle and high-pressure air pipe of the high-pressure air tank, open the air supply pipe, and the high-pressure air in the high-pressure air tank enters the slurry pressure vessel and squeezes the slurry bag. The slurry in the slurry bag is injected into the borehole through the gas-liquid injection device and grouting pipe, which consolidates the drill bit, hollow drill rod and rock wall into a whole, forming a consolidated pile anchor hanging on the rock wall.
[0023] S4. Use cables to connect the anchor rings, and after the cables are tightened, the underwater rock wall drilling anchors are installed.
[0024] This invention offers the following advantages: It uses high-pressure air to power the drill bit and grouting process, avoiding the watertightness issues associated with batteries. The high-pressure air power also allows for timely removal of cuttings from the borehole, reducing drilling resistance and improving the bonding strength between the drill rod and the cliff face. Furthermore, the invention replaces anchor rods with hollow drill rods, creating a circular borehole with a significantly increased surface area compared to a single borehole, thus significantly increasing the anchoring force provided to the anchor rod. The borehole anchor provided by this invention allows for the rapid, safe, and stable fixing of subsea engineering structures to underwater rock walls. This invention offers an underwater construction solution for mooring marine structures on cliff faces, characterized by convenient construction and high efficiency. Attached Figure Description
