[0053] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0054] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an embodiment of the open-pit rock drilling equipment vibration rod control system of this application includes a drill rod status sampling device, a borehole status sampling device, a vibration rod device, a processing device, and an interaction device.
[0055] The system includes: a drill rod status sampling device for sampling the status of the drill rod based on acquired electrical signals; a borehole status sampling device for sampling the status of the borehole based on acquired electrical signals; a vibrating rod device for loosening the connection between drill rods and the connection between the drill bit and the drill rod based on input electrical signals; a processing device for sending control signals to the vibrating rod device based on the drill rod status signals sampled by the drill rod status sampling device and the borehole status signals sampled by the borehole status sampling device, so that the vibrating rod device loosens the connection between drill rods and the connection between the drill bit and the drill rod; and an interactive device for user operation to achieve human-machine interaction. The processing device sends control signals to the vibrating rod device based on the control signals sent by the interactive device.
[0056] In one specific embodiment, the state of the drill pipe includes average rotational pressure, average feed pressure, average impact pressure, and the number of drill pipes; the processing device sends a control signal to the vibrating rod device based on the average rotational pressure, average feed pressure, average impact pressure, and the number of drill pipes.
[0057] In one specific embodiment, the drill pipe status sampling device includes a rotational pressure sensor, a feed pressure sensor, an impact pressure sensor, and a drill pipe quantity sensor.
[0058] Among them, the rotational pressure sensor is used to collect the average rotational pressure of the drill pipe; the propulsion pressure sensor is used to collect the average propulsion pressure of the drill pipe; the impact pressure sensor is used to collect the average impact pressure of the drill pipe; and the drill pipe quantity sensor is used to collect the quantity of drill pipes.
[0059] Specifically, the drilling status includes the hole depth, which is acquired by an encoder; the processing device sends a control signal to the vibrating rod device based on the hole depth signal acquired by the encoder.
[0060] In one specific embodiment, the vibrating rod device includes an impact solenoid valve and an air blowing solenoid valve. The impact solenoid valve is used to cause the drill rod to perform an impact action, and the air blowing solenoid valve is used to cause the drill rod to perform an air blowing action. The processing device sends control signals to the impact solenoid valve and the air blowing solenoid valve to cause the drill rod to perform the impact action and the air blowing action based on the drill rod status signal sampled by the drill rod status sampling device and the borehole status signal sampled by the borehole status sampling device.
[0061] The vibratory rod is a crucial component in rock drilling operations, preceding the rod splicing and disassembly process. When a drill rod is completed, the vibratory rod is used to loosen the connection between the drill bit and the drill rod before the rod splicing operation can proceed. After drilling a hole, all connecting sleeves between drill rods and the connection between the drill bit and the drill rod must be loosened before the rod splicing operation can be performed.
[0062] In one specific embodiment, the human-computer interaction device primarily provides a user interface to facilitate data settings and also provides feedback to the user on various data received by the processing device. As a specific solution, the human-computer interaction device can employ a touchscreen display with a processing chip and memory. The touchscreen can be used to display data and allow users to input data via touch. Users can achieve human-computer interaction by operating commands on the touchscreen. Using a touchscreen as the carrier of the interaction module improves the intelligence of the human-computer interaction and reduces the difficulty of operation. The human-computer interaction device is installed in an operating room that is visible and operable by the operator.
[0063] This application also provides an open-pit rock drilling device, including a top hammer, a drill rod, a drill rod status sampling device, a borehole status sampling device, a vibrating rod device, an interactive device, and a processing device.
[0064] The system includes a rock drill detachably connected to the drill rod; a drill rod status sampling device for sampling the status of the drill rod based on acquired electrical signals; a borehole status sampling device for sampling the status of the borehole based on acquired electrical signals; a vibrating rod device for loosening the connection between the drill rods and the connection between the rock drill's shank and the drill rod based on input electrical signals; an interactive device for user operation to achieve human-machine interaction; and a processing device for sending control signals to the vibrating rod device based on the drill rod status signals sampled by the drill rod status sampling device and the borehole status signals sampled by the borehole status sampling device, so that the vibrating rod device loosens the connection between the drill rods and the connection between the rock drill's shank and the drill rod.
[0065] Specifically, the vibrating rod device includes an impact solenoid valve and an air blowing solenoid valve. These valves initiate the vibration operation by impacting and blowing air to loosen the drill rod. Vibration is required in two places during the entire operation: firstly, when the current drill rod is completed, the vibrating rod is needed to loosen the connection between the rock drill's shank and the drill rod before adding rods; secondly, after drilling a hole, all connecting sleeves between drill rods and the connection between the rock drill's shank and the drill rod need to be loosened before dismantling the rods.
[0066] Based on the above-mentioned technical solution of rotary blasting hole drilling rig, this application also provides a method for controlling the vibratory rod of open-pit rock drilling equipment.
[0067] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the control method specifically includes:
[0068] In response to the electrical signals sent by the drill pipe status sampling device and the borehole status sampling device, the average rotational pressure, average feed pressure, average impact pressure, number of drill pipes, and borehole depth of the drill pipe are obtained.
[0069] Calculate the vibration time T;
[0070] Send control signals to the impact solenoid valve and the blow solenoid valve to make the drill pipe perform impact and blow actions for a duration of T;
[0071] The processing device sends control signals to the impact solenoid valve and the air blowing solenoid valve according to the control signals sent by the interactive device, so that the drill pipe can perform impact and air blowing actions for any duration.
[0072] Specifically, the vibration time is related to the rotational pressure, propulsion pressure, impact pressure, hole depth, and number of drill rods. These parameters are sampled at the start of drilling. When the borehole is completed, the average rotational pressure value P is calculated. R The average propulsion pressure value P F The average impact pressure value P I The hole depth H and the number of drill pipes N are given. Then, through a large amount of mining test data, the influence factors of each parameter on the vibrating rod time are obtained, that is, the weighting coefficients are obtained: the coefficient of rotational pressure, the coefficient of pushing pressure, the coefficient of impact pressure, the coefficient of hole depth, and the coefficient of the number of drill pipes. Therefore, the method for calculating the vibrating rod time T is as follows:
[0073] T = T min +(T max -T min )×(k R +k F +k I +k H +k N );
[0074] Where, k R k is the coefficient of rotational pressure. F To determine the coefficient of pressure, k I k is the coefficient of impact pressure. H k is a coefficient for hole depth. N This is a coefficient representing the number of drill pipes.
[0075] The vibratory rod is a crucial component in rock drilling operations, preceding the rod splicing and disassembly process. Vibration involves loosening the drill rod through impact and air blowing. There are two points requiring vibration during the entire operation: first, when the current drill rod is completed, the vibratory rod is used to directly loosen the drill bit's shank from the drill rod before adding the rod; second, after drilling a hole, all connecting sleeves between drill rods and the connection between the shank and the drill rod must be loosened before disassembling the rod.
[0076] Under normal circumstances, if operators are very familiar with the rock formations of the mine or believe that the rock formations are not too complex, they will set a fixed vibration time on the display screen based on experience. However, this lacks stability and often leads to many abnormal situations. If the vibration time is too long, the drill rod may fall off; if the vibration time is too short, it may not be loosened enough to disassemble, requiring repeated vibration, which greatly affects the efficiency of the operation. This application calculates the influence factors of rotational pressure, propulsion pressure, impact pressure, hole depth, and number of drill rods, and tests the influence factors of each value on the vibration time. It can calculate different vibration times according to different rock types and working conditions, thus avoiding the problems of drill rod falling off due to excessive vibration time and the problems of drill rod not being loosened enough to disassemble due to insufficient vibration time, requiring repeated vibration. This improves the success rate of vibration, prevents drill rod falling off, and enhances the safety of rock drilling.
[0077] The invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. No reference numerals in the claims should limit the scope of the claims. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this description and designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the spirit of the invention, such design should fall within the scope of protection of this patent. Furthermore, the word "comprising" does not exclude other elements or steps, and the word "a" preceding an element does not exclude the inclusion of "a plurality" of that element. Multiple elements stated in the product claims may also be implemented by a single element through software or hardware. The terms "first," "second," etc., are used to indicate names and do not indicate any specific order.
