Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a portable in-situ testing and straightening drilling machine for coal mine geomechanical parameters and a drilling method, belonging to the field of coal mine roadway construction technology. Background Technology
[0002] In coal mine roadway engineering, geomechanical parameters such as roof fracture distribution, uniaxial compressive strength, in-situ stress, elastic modulus, cohesion, and internal friction angle are fundamental to roadway layout, tunneling technology selection, and support parameter design. Currently, these geomechanical parameters are mainly obtained through laboratory testing, in-situ testing, and machine learning inversion prediction. In-situ testing offers high accuracy and serves as a reference for other methods; therefore, numerous in-situ testing methods and related equipment for geomechanical parameters have been developed and applied in the field of roadway surrounding rock. Different geomechanical parameter testing methods generally require drilling into the roof and delivering the test probe or core component to the study area via a metal rod.
[0003] The borehole diameter requirements for testing different geomechanical parameters generally vary, but the borehole walls must all be sufficiently smooth, intact, and vertical. For fracture distribution and in-situ uniaxial compressive strength testing, smaller borehole diameters are generally required, and pneumatic anchor drilling rigs commonly used in coal mines can suffice. However, for in-situ testing of ground stress, elastic modulus, cohesion, and internal friction angle, the borehole diameter generally exceeds 50mm. Using water-drainage drilling rigs would increase testing costs, hindering the field application and widespread adoption of in-situ geomechanical parameter testing. Tracked drilling rigs generally cannot meet the requirements for vertical drilling, and drilling would adversely affect the roadway cross-section. Using pneumatic anchor drilling rigs would cause swaying and deflection during drilling due to the thinness of the drill rod, resulting in borehole wall breakage and distortion, making it difficult to meet testing requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a portable in-situ testing and straightening drilling machine and drilling method for coal mine geomechanical parameters. This method enables the drilling of in-situ test holes for coal mine roadway roof geomechanical parameters at a lower cost, and ensures that the boreholes meet the testing requirements. Ultimately, it lays the foundation for roadway layout, selection of tunneling technology and design of support parameters.

[0010] Priority is given to installing a small drill rod on the drill rig if in-situ testing of geomechanical parameters, including borehole imaging and uniaxial compressive strength, is required. If in-situ testing of geomechanical parameters, including geostress, is required, a medium drill rod is installed on the drill rig. If in-situ testing of geomechanical parameters, including elastic modulus, cohesion, and internal friction angle, is required, a large drill rod is installed on the drill rig. The diameters of the small, medium, and large drill rods increase sequentially.
[0011] Preferably, the outer diameter of the small drill rod is 22mm, the drill bit diameter of the small drill rod is 30mm, the outer diameter of the medium drill rod is 42mm, the drill bit diameter of the medium drill rod is 55mm, the outer diameter of the large drill rod is 60mm, and the drill bit diameter of the large drill rod is 80mm.

It is expected to achieve in-situ testing of geomechanical parameters of coal mine roadway roofs at a lower cost, while ensuring that the boreholes meet testing requirements. Ultimately, this lays the foundation for roadway layout, tunneling process selection, and support parameter design. This is mainly reflected in two aspects: Firstly, compared with water exploration and drainage drilling rigs and crawler drilling rigs, this drilling rig has the advantage of portability, enabling rapid drilling of multiple test boreholes of different diameters within the roadway; secondly, during drilling, different drill rods are connected via connectors, and a laser straightening system is provided, ensuring borehole formation in a single pass, with smooth, intact, and vertical borehole walls.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0028] See Figure 1A mine conducted borehole inspection of the surrounding rock structure, and tested the in-situ stress and uniaxial compressive strength of the newly excavated roadway. A total of 4 geomechanical parameter assessment stations were set up in the roadway. Each station included 1 borehole for in-situ stress testing and 1 borehole for surrounding rock structure inspection / uniaxial compressive strength testing. The in-situ uniaxial compressive strength testing borehole had the same diameter as the surrounding rock structure inspection borehole, so that the uniaxial compressive strength test could be carried out on the surrounding rock structure inspection borehole after the structural inspection was completed. The test borehole is drilled using a portable in-situ testing and straightening drill for coal mine geomechanical parameters provided by this invention: S1, first, a flat floor area of the roadway is located, and the portable in-situ testing and straightening drill for coal mine geomechanical parameters is placed vertically on the roof. Then, the air inlet 11 and water inlet 12 of the drill are connected to the coal mine roadway ventilation and water supply pipeline through pipelines. The drilling speed is controlled by lifting or swinging the operating arm 9 and the drill switch 10, and the height of the telescopic outriggers 7 of the drill is adjusted to straighten and adjust the portable in-situ testing and straightening drill for coal mine geomechanical parameters.
[0029] S2, during use, first drill the inspection hole / in-situ uniaxial compressive strength test hole of the surrounding rock structure, that is, connect the small diameter drill rod 19 directly to the drill port 1 of the drilling machine.
[0030] S3. After selecting and connecting the appropriate drill rod according to the different test drilling parameters, start the drilling machine. At this time, the laser straightening emitter 14 inside the drill bit will emit a laser downward. The laser straightening receiver 3 inside the drill rod body will display the digital image of the laser signal on the straightening digital display screen 5 through the signal transmission line 4. Adjust the drilling deflection in real time according to the digital image to improve the drilling success rate and ensure that the smoothness and verticality of the hole wall meet the test requirements, and obtain the test drill hole.
[0031] S4. Move the portable straightening drill to the geostress test borehole, repeat step S1, then connect the medium-diameter drill rod 20 to the drill port 1 of the drill rig through the small connector 17, and repeat step S3 to complete the drilling work of a geomechanical parameter test borehole.

Each section of the small-diameter drill rod 19 and the medium-diameter drill rod 20 has two specifications: 1m and 1.5m in length. To reduce the influence of water on laser straightening, a 3mm diameter water guide pipe is built into the drill rod wall. The water guide pipe is independent of the laser transmission path.
[0036] In this embodiment, the laser straightening system includes a laser straightening emitter 14, a laser beaming auxiliary device 15, a laser straightening receiver 3, a signal transmission line 4, and a straightening digital display screen 5. The laser straightening emitter 14 includes a semiconductor laser and a miniature battery to excite high-intensity red rays. The laser beaming auxiliary device 15 includes a small telescope and a 1cm diameter aperture to condense the emitted high-intensity red rays into a laser beam that can be transmitted over long distances. During operation of the portable coal mine geomechanical parameter in-situ testing and straightening drilling rig, the emitted laser beam is transmitted to the straightening receiver 3 through the hollow drill pipe.
