Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of top hammer drill rig drill rod disconnection control, and particularly relates to a light clamp control valve group, a hydraulic control system comprising the same and a hydraulic control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The top hammer drill rig is not only fast in drilling speed, but also low in efficiency loss. With the increasing requirements for drilling efficiency, drill rig automation, environmental protection and energy saving, the top hammer drill rig with advanced technology, excellent performance and environmental protection and low carbon is increasingly in demand at home and abroad, and occupies an important position in the rock drilling equipment market. At present, the top hammer drill rig is widely used in open-pit mines, construction sites, power stations, highways, ports and other infrastructure sites.

[0003] The top hammer drill rig is generally equipped with a drill rod magazine, and the drill rod is discharged and stored by the combined action of the clamp jaw oil cylinder, the swing arm oil cylinder and the drill rod magazine rotating motor. The drill rig needs to clamp the drill rod with the clamp jaw, and then cooperate with the action of the rock drill to complete the disconnection and connection of the drill rod. The clamping force of the clamp jaw is divided into two types, one is heavy clamping, and the other is light clamping. The light clamping control valve used by the current drill rig is a combination of a pressure reducing valve and a solenoid directional valve. When the pressure in the large cavity of the clamp jaw oil cylinder is released from the heavy clamping pressure to the light clamping pressure, the pressure needs to be released through the solenoid directional valve and the pressure reducing valve. The inventor finds that the instantaneous flow is very large at this time, which easily causes damage to the solenoid directional valve. After the solenoid directional valve is damaged, the heavy clamping pressure cannot be established, which affects the subsequent rod disconnection process, and the drill rig cannot work normally, which seriously reduces the drilling efficiency.

[0004] There is an urgent need to solve the problem that the solenoid directional valve is easily damaged due to the excessive instantaneous flow. SUMMARY

[0007] 2. Technical scheme

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme:

[0009] The first aspect of the present application provides a light clamping control valve group for light clamping control of the clamp jaw of the drill rod magazine of the top hammer drill rig, which comprises a first hydraulic control check valve, an overflow valve, a throttle valve and a solenoid directional valve.

[0014] Further, the nominal diameter of the throttle valve is between 0.4cm and 0.8cm.

[0015] Further, the pressure of the overflow valve can be adjusted, and the pressure is set between 6-10bar.

[0016] Further, the electromagnetic reversing valve adopts a two-position three-way reversing valve.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this technical solution, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] The structures, proportions, and sizes illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, provided they do not affect the effectiveness or purpose of the invention, should still fall within the scope of the disclosed technical content. Furthermore, terms such as "connected," "connected," "first," "second," and "one end," "the other end," used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of implementation. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the invention's implementation.

[0034] Currently, the light clamp control valve group used in open-pit top hammer drills is a combination of a pressure reducing valve and a solenoid directional valve. The pressure in the large chamber of the clamp cylinder is released from the heavy clamp pressure to the light clamp pressure, which requires pressure relief through the solenoid directional valve and the pressure reducing valve. At this time, the instantaneous flow rate is very large, which can easily cause damage to the solenoid directional valve. After the solenoid directional valve is damaged, the heavy clamp pressure cannot be established, which affects the subsequent rod removal process, and the drill cannot work normally, which seriously reduces the drilling efficiency.

[0035] The basic idea of ​​this invention is to solve the problem of excessive instantaneous flow when the large chamber of the gripper cylinder is released from heavy clamping pressure to light clamping pressure by organically cooperating with the overflow valve, throttle valve, first hydraulic control check valve and electromagnetic reversing valve, thereby avoiding electromagnetic reversing valve failure and improving the working efficiency of the drilling rig.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 As shown, a light clamp control valve group of the present invention is used for light clamp control of the drill rod magazine jaws of a top hammer drilling rig. The light clamp control valve group includes a first hydraulic check valve 1, an overflow valve 2, a throttle valve 3, and a solenoid directional valve 4.

[0037] One end of the first hydraulic control check valve 1 is connected to the large chamber of the gripper cylinder, i.e., the rodless chamber (not shown in the figure), and the other end is connected to the oil inlet of the overflow valve 2. The control oil port of the first hydraulic control check valve 1 is connected to the A port of the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 through a pipeline.

[0038] As is known, the solenoid directional valve is generally equipped with a T port, a P port and an A port. The T port is connected to the oil tank, the P port is connected to the pump output port, and the A port represents the working oil port, which is usually connected to the actuator.

[0039] The outlet of the overflow valve 2 is connected to the oil tank and is used to set the light clamp pressure. When the pressure exceeds the set value, the overflow valve opens to guide the excess flow back to the oil tank to ensure pressure stability.

[0040] One end of the throttle valve 3 is connected with the A port of the electromagnetic reversing valve 4, and the other end is connected with the first hydraulic control check valve 1 and the oil inlet of the overflow valve 2 respectively, for limiting the flow of the overflow valve 3, and due to the control of the throttle valve, the overflow flow of the overflow valve is reduced to be very low, and the power loss is small.

[0041] The electromagnetic reversing valve 4 controls the flow direction of oil by switching the fluid channel: when the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 is in the normal position, the T port of the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 is in communication with the A port, and when the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 is connected to the light clamp control signal, the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 core is reversed, and the P port of the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 is in communication with the A port. Preferably, the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 can adopt a two-position three-way reversing valve.

[0042] When selecting the flow diameter of the throttle valve, factors such as flow, pressure, medium type and control accuracy need to be considered comprehensively, and a larger flow diameter is usually required for large flow demand, and a smaller diameter may cause a larger pressure drop, and a smaller flow diameter of the throttle valve can achieve more fine adjustment. Specifically, the nominal diameter of the throttle valve 3 is between 0.4cm and 0.8cm, which can meet the needs, and the nominal diameter is preferably 0.6cm.

[0043] The pressure of the overflow valve 2 can be adjusted, and the pressure is set between 6-10bar, and the pressure is preferably set at 8bar. The pressure of the overflow valve can be adjusted, and different pressure values are set according to different application conditions, which is simple and convenient.

[0044] In some embodiments, the light clamp control valve group is also provided with a pressure measuring valve, Figure 1 The M / M1 port in the pressure measuring valve is a pressure measuring port, which is used for measuring the pressure of the light clamp control oil way. According to the measured pressure, the corresponding valve is adjusted to achieve the optimal implementation effect.

[0045] In addition, the first hydraulic control check valve 1, the overflow valve 2, the throttle valve 3 and the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 can be inserted into the same valve block. In this way, the structure is compact, the pressure loss is small, and the efficiency is high.

[0046] The light clamp control valve group can also be directly superimposed under the heavy clamp control valve, that is, the space is saved, and no additional support is needed.

[0047] The second aspect of the present application also relates to a hydraulic control system, which comprises the light clamp control valve group and a heavy clamp control valve 5, wherein the heavy clamp control valve 5 is used for pressurizing the large cavity of the oil cylinder to make the clamp jaw in the heavy clamp state.

[0048] Specifically, one end of the heavy clamp control valve 5 is connected with a second hydraulic control check valve 6, the other end of the second hydraulic control check valve 6 is connected with a clamp cylinder large cavity, and the control oil port of the second hydraulic control check valve 6 is connected with a clamp cylinder small cavity.

[0049] The third aspect of the present application also relates to a hydraulic control method for light clamp control of a top hammer drill rig pipe clamp, which adopts the light clamp control valve group, and the hydraulic control method comprises the following steps:

[0050] After the drill rig control system sends a light clamp signal, the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 receives the light clamp signal, the valve core is reversed, and the light clamp control function is activated.

[0051] High-pressure oil of the hydraulic system P port reaches the control oil port of the first hydraulic control check valve 1 through the A port of the electromagnetic reversing valve 4, so that the first hydraulic control check valve 1 is opened.

[0052] High-pressure oil of the clamp cylinder large cavity reaches the inlet of the overflow valve 2 through the first hydraulic control check valve 1, at this time, the pressure is much higher than the set value of the overflow valve 2, the oil reaches the T port through the overflow valve 2, flows back to the hydraulic oil tank from the T port, and is depressurized, so that the pressure of the clamp cylinder large cavity is reduced to the pressure set value of the overflow valve 2.

[0053] Then, high-pressure oil of the hydraulic system P port reaches the cylinder large cavity through the throttle valve 3 and the first hydraulic control check valve 1, continuously supplies oil to the cylinder large cavity, and makes the cylinder large cavity always maintain the light clamp pressure.

[0054] When the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 does not receive the light clamp control signal, the valve core of the electromagnetic reversing valve 4 is in a normal position, no oil passes through the electromagnetic reversing valve 4, the first hydraulic control check valve 4 is in a closed state, and the pressure of the cylinder large cavity is maintained, so that the clamp is in a heavy pressure state.

[0055] The design of the hydraulic control check valve improves the pressure maintaining effect of the cylinder large cavity, and the quick response of the overflow valve makes the clamping of the drill rig clamp switch from heavy clamp to light clamp very quickly, greatly improving the efficiency of the automatic pipe disconnection of the drill rig.

[0056] The above describes the present application and its embodiments in a schematic manner, which is not limited, and the embodiments shown in the drawings are only one of the embodiments of the present application, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. If a person skilled in the art is inspired thereby, without departing from the purpose of the present application, similar structural modes to the present technical solution can be designed without creativity, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
