Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of deep hole drilling equipment control technology, specifically to a method for braking the main winch wedge block and preventing excessive rope release in a deep hole core drilling rig. Background Technology
[0002] Deep core drilling is a key technology in resource exploration and geological surveys. Its complex operating environment and deep drilling depths place extremely high demands on the braking reliability, rope release controllability, and structural adaptability of the drilling rig's main winch system. As the core actuator for raising and lowering the drill rod, the braking performance of the main winch directly determines operational safety, while the anti-over-release function is crucial to preventing serious accidents such as wire rope detachment and drilling rig overturning.
[0003] Existing main winch systems for deep-hole core drilling rigs generally suffer from the following technical pain points: First, insufficient precision in braking and rope release control. Over-release protection relies heavily on mechanical limits, resulting in low triggering accuracy and delayed response, making it difficult to effectively prevent the wire rope from detaching from the drum. The self-locking reliability of the wedge braking mechanism is easily affected by machining errors, posing a safety hazard of the drill rod descending on its own. Second, poor adaptability to working conditions. Existing control methods struggle to achieve smooth switching between lifting and lowering conditions, easily generating impact loads that damage components. There is a lack of precise speed adjustment mechanisms for different hole depths, and no automatic wear compensation function for friction plates is provided. As usage time increases, braking performance gradually declines. When encountering stuck drill bits in complex formations, manual intervention is often used, which is inefficient and easily damages the drill rod, severely affecting operational continuity.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing main winch system of deep hole core drilling rig in terms of structural rationality, braking safety and control precision, there is an urgent need to develop a technical solution with efficient wedge braking, precise anti-over-releasing rope control and multi-condition adaptability, so as to improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of deep hole drilling operations and meet the usage needs of different drilling scenarios from shallow holes to ultra-deep holes. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for braking the main winch wedge block and controlling over-releasing of rope in a deep-hole core drilling rig, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as non-adjustable coaxiality of existing main winch systems, low braking accuracy, and delayed over-releasing protection.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for braking the main winch wedge block and preventing excessive rope release in a deep-hole core drilling rig is applied to the main winch assembly of the deep-hole core drilling rig. The main winch assembly includes a split frame assembly I, a rope pressing assembly II, a reduction assembly III, an end support, and a rope pressing block. The reduction assembly III includes a planetary transmission assembly IV and a braking assembly V. The braking assembly V includes a wedge block shaft, a wedge block sleeve, a wedge block assembly, a spring assembly, friction plates, a mating steel plate, and a piston. The rope pressing assembly II includes a double-stage roller assembly, a sensor, and a spring, a pull rod, and a pull block for controlling the rope pressing force. The double-stage roller assembly includes roller one and roller two, and includes the following steps: S1 System Initialization: Acquire Initial Brake Fluid Pressure Initial rotational speed of the gear ring The starting point of the wire rope winding position is determined to be inside the wire rope groove of the left flange of the toothed ring. The wire rope is pressed by N rope pressing blocks. Parameters such as sensor trigger threshold and brake oil port working pressure range are set. The lifting working position is located on roller two and close to roller one. At this time, the wire rope is in a state of natural descent and waiting to be lifted.
[0007] S2 drill pipe lifting control: Maintain brake port oil pressure Under the force of the spring assembly, the piston presses the friction plate and the mating steel plate together, causing the wedge assembly to come to a stop. The wedge assembly enters a self-locking state, restricting the lowering of the drill pipe. The power of the prime mover is transmitted to the wedge assembly shaft via a spline, and then to the first-stage sun gear via another spline. After being reduced in speed by the third-stage planetary gear set, it drives the gear ring to rotate, thereby lifting the drill pipe. During the lifting process, the prime mover satisfies the torque matching formula: ; in, To increase the required tension in the drill pipe, The outer diameter of the gear ring. The reduction ratio is IV for the planetary transmission assembly. For transmission efficiency, ; S3 Drill Pipe Lowering Control: Input pressurized oil into the brake port to raise the oil pressure to [value missing]. The piston overcomes the force of the spring assembly and moves away from the friction plate. The friction plate and the mating steel plate are released from the clamping state and can rotate freely, thus unlocking the wedge block assembly. The prime mover outputs power in the opposite direction, which drives the wedge block assembly sleeve and the first-stage sun gear to rotate through the wedge block assembly shaft and the wedge block assembly. After being reduced by the planetary gear assembly, it drives the gear ring to rotate in the opposite direction, realizing the lowering of the drill pipe. During the lowering process, the double-stage roller assembly always presses the wire rope tightly under the action of the spring to prevent the rope from getting tangled. S4 Over-release Safety Protection: When the wire rope is over-released during the release process and enters the working zone of the roller, the double-stage roller assembly moves the top block along with the change in the position of the wire rope, and the top block touches the sensor; the sensor will send a trigger signal to the prime mover control module, the control module will immediately cut off the prime mover power, the gear ring will stop rotating, the wire rope will stop releasing, and the wire rope will stop falling off to prevent the wire rope from falling off or the drilling rig from overturning. S5 Working Condition Switching Control: When switching between lifting and lowering working conditions, the prime mover power is first cut off, and the gear ring speed is reduced to a certain value. Then, adjust the brake fluid pressure to complete the clamping / unclamping switch of the friction pads, with a switching delay time. .
[0008] Preferably, in step S2, the self-locking condition of the wedge block group satisfies the formula: ; in, The wedge angle of the wedge block assembly. , Let be the static friction coefficient between the wedge and the wedge assembly. , The average outer diameter of the wedge contact point. The outer diameter of the wedge block assembly shaft and the wedge block assembly itself is used to ensure that the drill rod does not descend on its own during the lifting process.
[0009] Preferably, in step S3, the oil pressure adjustment of the brake oil port is proportionally controlled, and the relationship between oil pressure and piston stroke satisfies: ; in, For the stroke of the piston away from the friction plate, , The pressure-stroke coefficient, Ensure that the friction plate and the mating steel plate are completely separated. This refers to the initial pressure at the brake fluid port. =0 , The working oil pressure of the brake port during drill pipe lowering. .
[0010] Preferably, in step S4, the trigger stroke of the sensor... The difference in diameter between roller one and roller two is determined by the following formula: ; in, For the diameter of the roller, For the two diameters of the roller, This is to provide redundant processes and ensure trigger reliability.
[0011] Preferably, in step S2, the gear ring speed during the lifting process is... Based on the dynamic adjustment of drill pipe weight, the formula is: ; in, The rotational speed at the rated drill pipe weight. The rated weight of the drill pipe. For real-time drill pipe weight, the rotation speed adjustment range .
[0012] Preferably, in step S3, the wire rope tension during the lowering process... Noise reduction is achieved using a moving average filtering algorithm, with the following filtering formula: ; in, The length of the filter window. For the first Secondary tension data collection ensures accurate tension monitoring.
[0013] As a preferred option, friction plate wear compensation control is also included: based on the number of lifting / lowering cycles. Calculate the wear of the friction plates The formula is: ; in, The wear coefficient is... , The average working pressure of the brake fluid port; when At the same time, increase the brake fluid port clamping pressure compensation value. This ensures the reliable clamping of the friction plates.
[0014] Preferably, in step S4, if the sensor needs to be reset after being triggered, two conditions must be met: first, the reset command must be manually confirmed; second, the wire rope must be lifted in the reverse direction to the second roller section, and the top block must be separated from the sensor. Only then can the prime mover be restarted.
[0015] Preferably, it also includes emergency control for stuck drill: during the lifting process, if the gear ring torque is detected... And duration The drill was determined to be stuck; immediately control the alternating switching of brake oil pressure. ,frequency At the same time, the prime mover outputs pulse torque This enables vibration-based card release.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are: by optimizing the structural design and control logic of the main winch assembly, this invention significantly improves the safety and reliability of deep-hole core drilling operations. 1. The main winch wedge braking and anti-over-releasing control method of this deep hole core drilling rig ensures reliable self-locking of the wedge group during drill rod lifting by precisely setting the wedge angle and self-locking condition formula of the wedge group, thus eliminating the risk of drill rod falling down on its own from the control logic. At the same time, with the precise control of the brake oil port pressure, a smooth switching of braking state is achieved, avoiding the interruption of operation caused by insufficient braking force or excessive impact in traditional braking methods, and adapting to the harsh working conditions of long-term and high-load deep hole operation. 2. The main winch wedge braking and over-release control method of this deep hole core drilling rig relies on the diameter difference design of the double-stage roller assembly to trigger the stroke. Combined with the reasonable setting of redundant stroke, the sensor can accurately detect the over-release state of the wire rope and quickly trigger the stop command. The setting of dual reset conditions further avoids secondary risks caused by misoperation, effectively prevents serious accidents such as wire rope detachment and drilling rig overturning, and fills the shortcoming of accuracy in the safety control of rope release in deep hole operations.
[0017] 3. The main winch wedge braking and anti-over-releasing control method of this deep-hole core drilling rig constructs a multi-parameter collaborative control system by controlling the ratio of brake oil port pressure to piston stroke and the dynamic linkage of gear ring speed and drill rod weight / oil pressure. Combined with the moving average filtering algorithm for noise reduction processing of tension signals, it ensures that the system can still output power stably and adjust working conditions accurately under load fluctuation scenarios caused by complex strata, adapting to the drill rod lifting and lowering requirements of different depths and strata.
[0018] 4. The main winch wedge braking and anti-over-releasing control method of this deep hole core drilling rig avoids the risk of braking failure caused by friction plate wear in advance through quantitative calculation of friction plate wear and pressure compensation mechanism; the pulse torque and alternating hydraulic pressure design of the stuck drill emergency mode ensures the unblocking effect while reducing the continuous stress and heat accumulation of equipment components, reducing the wear rate of core components such as friction plates and gears, significantly improving the service life of the main winch assembly, and reducing the maintenance cost and downtime frequency of deep hole operations.

[0028] Specific implementation steps of the control method of this invention: S1 System Initialization After starting the control system, complete the following operations: Initial parameter acquisition: The initial oil pressure at brake fluid port 23a is obtained via a pressure sensor. The position of the wire rope hoisting operation is confirmed by the position sensor (located in the section of roller 21i), and the initial rotational speed of the gear ring 31 is collected by the speed sensor. ; Setting core parameters: Based on the diameter difference between roller 1 (21h) and roller 2 (21i), using the formula... , The diameter of the roller is 21h. For roller 21i diameter, To ensure redundant travel, the trigger stroke of sensor 8 is set; the working pressure range of brake fluid port 23a is set.

[0029] S2 Drill Pipe Lifting Control Braking status control: Maintain brake fluid pressure at port 23a Under the force of the spring assembly 44, the piston 49 presses the friction plate 50 and the mating steel plate 51 together, causing the wedge block assembly 39 to come to a stop. The wedge block assembly 40 enters a self-locking state, ensuring that the drill pipe does not drop on its own. The self-locking condition must be met: ; in, The wedge block assembly has a 40° wedge angle. The static friction coefficient between the wedge and the wedge assembly is 39. The average outer diameter of the wedge contact point. The outer diameter of the wedge block assembly shaft 35 that mates with the wedge block assembly 40; Power transmission and speed regulation: The prime mover's power is transmitted via splines to the wedge block shaft 35, then to the first-stage sun gear, and after reduction by the third-stage planetary gear set, it drives the gear ring 31 to rotate, thereby lifting the drill pipe; the torque required to lift the prime mover must meet the following requirements: ; in, To increase the required tension in the drill pipe, The outer diameter of the gear ring is 31.

Protection action: Sensor 8 will send a trigger signal to the prime mover control module, which will immediately cut off the prime mover power, stop the gear ring 31 from rotating, and stop the wire rope from being lowered, to prevent the wire rope from detaching from the gear ring 31 or the drilling rig from overturning. Reset conditions: Two requirements must be met: first, the reset command must be manually confirmed; second, the wire rope must be lifted in the reverse direction to the roller 21i section, and the top block 9 must be separated from the sensor 8 before the prime mover can be restarted.

The equipment can operate continuously for 15,000 hours without braking failure. The over-release rope and stuck drill protection respond quickly, meeting the safe and efficient drilling requirements under harsh ultra-deep hole conditions.
[0044] The method for braking the main winch wedge block and preventing excessive rope release in the deep hole core drilling rig of the present invention has the following advantages: This invention ensures reliable self-locking of the wedge block assembly during drill pipe lifting by precisely setting the wedge angle and self-locking condition formula, thus eliminating the risk of the drill pipe lowering itself from the control logic. Simultaneously, precise control of the brake oil pressure enables smooth switching of braking states, avoiding operational interruptions caused by insufficient braking force or excessive impact in traditional braking methods. This adapts to the demanding working conditions of long-duration, high-load deep hole operations. Utilizing the diameter difference design of the double-stage roller assembly to trigger the stroke, combined with the reasonable setting of redundant strokes, the sensor can accurately detect the excessive release of the wire rope and quickly trigger a stop command. The setting of dual reset conditions further avoids secondary risks caused by misoperation, effectively preventing serious accidents such as wire rope detachment and drill rig overturning, thus filling the gap in the accuracy of rope release safety control in deep hole operations.
[0045] This invention constructs a multi-parameter collaborative control system by controlling the ratio of brake oil pressure to piston stroke and dynamically linking the gear ring speed with drill pipe weight / oil pressure. Combined with a moving average filtering algorithm for noise reduction of tension signals, it ensures stable power output and precise adjustment of operating conditions even under load fluctuations caused by complex geological formations, adapting to the drill pipe lifting and lowering requirements of different depths and formations. Through quantitative calculation of friction plate wear and a pressure compensation mechanism, the risk of brake failure due to friction plate wear is mitigated in advance. The pulse torque and alternating oil pressure design of the stuck drill emergency mode ensures effective unblocking while reducing continuous stress and heat accumulation on equipment components, lowering the wear rate of core components such as friction plates and gears, significantly extending the service life of the main winch assembly, and reducing maintenance costs and downtime frequency in deep hole operations.
