Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological exploration technology, specifically to an Internet of Things-based geological exploration device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Geological exploration equipment is core equipment for resource exploration, engineering construction, and environmental monitoring. Its technological evolution directly affects exploration efficiency, cost, and safety. Geological exploration equipment is mainly used for underground rock and soil sampling, borehole drilling, and data acquisition. Common types include rotary drilling rigs, core drilling rigs, and static cone penetrometers. These devices achieve drilling operations through drill bits, connecting rods, and power systems. Traditional devices are mostly mechanically driven, but in recent years, they have begun to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) technology, enabling data acquisition and remote monitoring. Basic parameters such as borehole depth and rotation speed are uploaded to the cloud via sensors.

[0003] Currently, existing geological exploration equipment typically consists of a mobile platform, a power unit, connecting rods, and drill bits. The drill rods are machined with male and female threads at both ends, which are tightened manually or with an electric wrench. The threaded connection requires multiple alignments and tightenings, with each operation taking an average of 3-5 minutes. In deep-hole operations at depths of 1,000 meters, 20-30 drill rod sections need to be added, and non-operational time accounts for more than 40% of the entire process. Furthermore, as the depth increases, the resistance to tightening the threads increases, reducing the efficiency of manual operation and easily leading to loose connections or drill rod detachment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an Internet of Things-based geological exploration device and its usage method, which solves the problem that tightening nuts manually or with electric wrenches to install multiple drill rod sections during deep-hole operations at depths of thousands of meters can easily lead to loose connections or drill rod detachment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An Internet of Things-based geological exploration device includes a mobile platform and multiple sets of connecting columns. A support frame is fixedly installed on the mobile platform, a sliding seat is slidably installed on the support frame, a No. 1 motor is fixedly installed on the sliding seat, and a support column rotatably connected to the sliding seat is fixedly installed at the output end of the No. 1 motor. A drill bit is fixedly installed on one set of connecting columns, and insert columns are fixedly installed on the remaining connecting columns and support columns. Two sets of trapezoidal grooves are opened on the insert columns. The connecting column is equipped with a connecting mechanism that facilitates connection. The connecting column is equipped with an automatically detachable splitting mechanism. As the sliding seat moves upward, multiple sets of connecting columns come into contact with the splitting mechanism, causing the insert on the connecting column to separate from another set of connecting columns.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a slot formed on the connecting post and used in conjunction with the insert post, and storage slots are provided on both sides of the slot, with a trapezoidal block slidably installed on the storage slot in conjunction with the trapezoidal slot.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting mechanism further includes two sets of first limiting rods fixedly installed on the trapezoidal block and slidably connected to the connecting column. Each set of first limiting rods is slidably installed with a first fixing rod fixedly connected to the connecting column, and a first spring is sleeved on the first fixing rod.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting mechanism further includes two sets of electrically operated telescopic rods fixedly installed on the connecting column, and a cylindrical block is fixedly installed at the movable end of the electrically operated telescopic rod.

[0009] Preferably, the splitting mechanism includes a U-shaped block slidably mounted on the storage slot, with multiple sets of rollers rotatably mounted on both sides of the U-shaped block, a T-shaped block fixedly mounted on the U-shaped block and slidably connected to the movable end of the electric telescopic rod, and a first magnetic block fixedly mounted on the T-shaped block.

[0010] Preferably, the splitting mechanism further includes two sets of second fixing rods fixedly installed on the storage slot and slidably connected to the T-shaped block. Each set of second fixing rods is fitted with a second spring, and the connecting column is provided with a conical groove.

[0011] Preferably, the splitting mechanism further includes two sets of hydraulic rods fixedly installed on the mobile platform. Each set of hydraulic rods has a support block fixedly installed at its movable end, and four sets of support rods are slidably installed on the support block.

[0012] Preferably, the splitting mechanism further includes a third spring sleeved on the support rod, an arc-shaped plate fixedly installed on the support rod, and a second magnetic block attracted to the first magnetic block fixedly installed on the arc-shaped plate.

[0013] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly installed on the support frame, and a threaded post that is threadedly connected to the sliding seat is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor.

[0014] A method for using an Internet of Things (IoT) based geological exploration device, the method comprising the following steps: Step 1: The U-shaped block is moved down by the electric telescopic rod and the cylindrical block. When the insert is fully inserted into the slot, the trapezoidal groove is aligned with the trapezoidal block. The first spring is released, pushing the trapezoidal block into the trapezoidal groove. After the U-shaped block is reset, the trapezoidal block will be unable to move. Step 2: Start motor 1 and motor 2. Motor 1 drives the connecting column to rotate through the support column, and the drill bit cuts into the formation. Motor 2 rotates the threaded column, which makes the sliding seat move down slowly and controls the drilling feed. Step 3: The support column is held by the arc plate. When the sliding seat is lifted, the conical groove of the connecting column passes through the arc plate. The second magnetic block and the first magnetic block attract each other, causing the trapezoidal block to lose support. Under the action of gravity, the insert column is released from the slot, the connecting column is automatically separated, and the arc plate is then inserted into the conical groove.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention, through the setting of the connecting mechanism, uses an electric telescopic rod and a cylindrical block to make the U-shaped block move down. When the insert is fully inserted into the slot, the trapezoidal groove and the trapezoidal block are aligned. The first spring is released, pushing the trapezoidal block into the trapezoidal groove. After the cylindrical block is reset, the U-shaped block is also reset, and the trapezoidal block will be unable to move, ensuring a stable connection.

[0016] 2. This invention, through the setting of a splitting mechanism, uses a hydraulic rod to clamp the support column with an arc-shaped plate. When the sliding seat is lifted, the conical groove of the connecting column passes through the arc-shaped plate, and the second magnetic block and the first magnetic block attract each other, causing the trapezoidal block to lose support. Under the action of gravity, the insert column is dislodged from the slot, the connecting column is automatically separated, and the arc-shaped plate is then inserted into the conical groove. By repeating this process, the remaining connecting columns can be quickly removed or new connecting columns can be added to explore deeper underground locations. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0020] Example 1 Because tightening nuts manually or with an electric wrench to install multiple drill rod sections during deep-hole drilling can easily lead to loose connections or drill rod detachment, this problem needs to be addressed by referring to... Figures 1-6This embodiment addresses the issue that tightening nuts manually or with an electric wrench during deep-hole drilling can easily lead to loose connections or drill rod detachment. To solve this problem, referring to Figure 1-2, this embodiment proposes an IoT-based geological exploration device, including a mobile platform 1, multiple sets of connecting columns 2, a support frame 11 fixedly mounted on the mobile platform 1, and multiple sets of monitoring devices controlled by IoT terminals mounted on the support frame 11 to monitor the device's operating status. A sliding seat 12 is slidably mounted on the support frame 11, and a primary motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the sliding seat 12. A support column 14, rotatably connected to the sliding seat 12, is fixedly mounted at the output end of the primary motor 13. The lower half of the support column 14 is conical. A drill bit 3 is fixedly mounted on one set of connecting columns 2, used for drilling operations on the ground during geological exploration. Insert columns 31 are fixedly mounted on the remaining connecting columns 2 and support columns 14. Each insert column 31 has two sets of trapezoidal grooves 32. The support frame 11 is fixedly equipped with... There is a second motor 6, which is equipped with sensors for detecting voltage, current and temperature. The sensors are connected to the IoT gateway via a communication line and transmit data to the IoT platform for analysis and display via 4G network communication. The output end of the second motor 6 is fixedly installed with a threaded post 601 that is threaded to the sliding seat 12. Under the action of the connecting mechanism 4, the connecting post 2 with the drill bit 3 is first connected to the support post 14. The insert post 31 is inserted into the connecting post 2. The first motor 13 is started to make the connecting post 2 connected to the support post 14 rotate. The second motor 6 is started to make the threaded post 601 rotate in the sliding seat 12. The sliding seat 12 moves downward and drives the drill bit 3 on the connecting post 2 to move, so that drilling operations can be carried out on the ground. When the connecting post 2 is about to be completely underground, the support post 14 and the connecting post 2 are separated and the support post 14 is moved upward to facilitate the connection of the new connecting post 2 with the support post 14 and the connecting post 2 with the drill bit 3, so that exploration operations can be carried out at deeper underground locations.

[0021] The connecting column 2 is equipped with a connecting mechanism 4 for easy connection, and a splitting mechanism 5 for automatic separation is also installed on the connecting column 2. As the sliding seat 12 moves upward, multiple sets of connecting columns 2 come into contact with the splitting mechanism 5 during the upward movement, causing the insert 31 on the connecting column 2 to separate from another set of connecting columns 2, which facilitates the quick separation of multiple sets of connecting columns 2.

[0022] The connecting mechanism 4 includes a slot 401 formed on the connecting post 2 and used in conjunction with the insertion post 31. Both sides of the slot 401 have storage grooves 402. A trapezoidal block 403, which mates with the trapezoidal groove 32, is slidably mounted on the storage groove 402. The connecting mechanism 4 also includes two sets of first limiting rods 404 fixedly mounted on the trapezoidal blocks 403 and slidably connected to the connecting post 2. Each set of first limiting rods 404 has a first fixing rod 405 slidably mounted on it and fixedly connected to the connecting post 2. A first spring 406 is sleeved on the first fixing rod 405, allowing the trapezoidal block 403 to quickly reset. The connecting mechanism 4 also includes two sets of electric telescopic rods 407 fixedly mounted on the connecting post 2. A cylindrical block 408 is fixedly mounted on the movable end of the electric telescopic rod 407, facilitating the movement of the splitting mechanism 5 when connection is required. The two sets of electric telescopic rods 407 inside the connecting column 2 are activated simultaneously, causing the cylindrical block 408 to move downwards. When the cylindrical block 408 moves downwards, it drives the splitting mechanism 5 to move downwards, inserting the insertion post 31 into the slot 401. The trapezoidal block 403 is pressed into the storage groove 402 by the insertion post 31. When the insertion post 31 is fully inserted into the slot 401, the position of the trapezoidal block 403 corresponds to that of the trapezoidal groove 32. Under the action of the first spring 406, the trapezoidal block 403 enters the trapezoidal groove 32. The electric telescopic rod 407 is activated to reset the cylindrical block 408, thereby resetting the splitting mechanism 5. The trapezoidal block 403 will be unable to move and will be limited in the trapezoidal groove 32, thus completing the rapid docking of the connecting column 2. This avoids the situation in deep hole operations where tightening nuts manually or with an electric wrench to install multiple drill rods can easily lead to loose connections or drill rod detachment. Example 2 Before separating or installing connecting columns, it is necessary to limit the position of the next connecting column. This is to facilitate the separation of multiple connecting columns by rotating the bolts, and also to prevent the next connecting column from falling back into the borehole. Therefore, multiple workers are required to operate the system. To solve this problem, refer to... Figures 1-6The splitting mechanism 5 includes a U-shaped block 501 slidably mounted on the storage slot 402. Multiple sets of rollers 502 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the U-shaped block 501 to facilitate its movement. A T-shaped block 503 is fixedly mounted on the U-shaped block 501 and slidably connected to the movable end of the electric telescopic rod 407. A first-order magnetic block 504 is fixedly mounted on the T-shaped block 503. The splitting mechanism 5 also includes two sets of second-order fixed rods 505 fixedly mounted on the storage slot 402 and slidably connected to the T-shaped blocks 503, making the movement of the T-shaped blocks 503 more stable. Each set of second-order fixed rods 505 is fitted with a second-order spring 506, allowing the T-shaped blocks 503 to drive the U-shaped block 501 to quickly reset. A tapered groove 507 is provided on the connecting column 2 to facilitate… During disassembly, the repositioning of the arc-shaped plate 512 will not affect the movement of the connecting column 2. The disassembly mechanism 5 also includes two sets of hydraulic rods 508 fixedly installed on the moving platform 1. Each set of hydraulic rods 508 has a support block 509 fixedly installed at its movable end. Four sets of support rods 510 are slidably installed on the support block 509. The disassembly mechanism 5 also includes a No. 3 spring 511 sleeved on the support rod 510. The arc-shaped plate 512 is fixedly installed on the support rod 510. The four sets of support rods 510 make the movement of the arc-shaped plate 512 more stable, and the No. 3 spring 511 enables the arc-shaped plate 512 to quickly reposition. A pressure sensor that works with the No. 3 spring 511 is installed on the arc-shaped plate 512. The pressure sensor is connected to an Internet of Things terminal. The control system allows for a clear and intuitive demonstration of the connection between the arc-shaped plate 512 and the connecting column 2. A second magnetic block 513, attracted to the first magnetic block 504, is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped plate 512. When the ground survey is completed and the connecting column 2 needs to be removed, two sets of hydraulic rods 508 are simultaneously activated, causing the support block 509 to move the arc-shaped plate 512, clamping the support column 14. The third spring 511 contracts under pressure. After the hydraulic rods 508 are stopped and the support block 509 is limited, the sliding seat 12 moves the support column 14 upwards. The conical part of the support column 14 pushes open the two sets of arc-shaped plates 512 without affecting the movement of the connecting column 2. As the conical groove 507 on the connecting column 2 aligns with the position of the arc-shaped plate 512, the three... Under the action of spring 511, arc plate 512 clamps the connecting post 2. As the connecting post 2 continues to move upward, magnetic block 504 and magnetic block 513 attract each other, causing magnetic block 504 to drive the U-shaped plate connected to T-shaped block 503 to move downward in the receiving groove 402, so that the U-shaped plate no longer contacts the trapezoidal block 403. Under the action of gravity, the insert post 31 separates from the connecting post 2. At this time, the connecting post 2 will move downward. Under the action of conical groove 507, arc plate 512 supports the connecting post 2, preventing the connecting post 2 from falling back into the drilled hole. The connecting post 2 can be lifted by an external crane. By repeating this process, the remaining connecting post 2 can be quickly removed or a new connecting post 2 can be installed to explore deeper underground locations.

[0023] Working principle: The two sets of electric telescopic rods 407 inside the synchronously activated connecting column 2 drive the cylindrical block 408 downward, causing the T-shaped block 503 and U-shaped block 501 to move downward, compressing the second spring 506. When the insert 31 enters the slot 401, the inclined surface pushes the trapezoidal block 403 into the storage groove 402, compressing the first spring 406. When the insert 31 is fully inserted, the trapezoidal groove 32 aligns with the trapezoidal block 403, the first spring 406 is released, and pushes the trapezoidal block 403 into the trapezoidal groove 32, completing the locking. After the two sets of electric telescopic rods 407 inside the synchronously activated connecting column 2 drive the cylindrical block 408 to reset, the second spring 506 resets the T-shaped block 503 and the U-shaped block 501, making the trapezoidal block 403 immobile and ensuring a stable connection. After the connection is completed, the first motor 13 and the second motor 6 are activated. The first motor 13 drives the connecting column 2 to rotate through the support column 14, and the drill bit 3 cuts into the formation. The second motor 6 rotates the threaded column 601, causing the sliding seat 12 to slowly move down, controlling the drilling feed. When drilling is completed or a new rod needs to be installed, the splitting mechanism 5 automatically operates. Simultaneously activating two sets of hydraulic rods 508 causes the support block 509 to move the arc-shaped plate 512, clamping the support column 14. The third spring 511 ensures appropriate clamping force. When the sliding seat 12 is lifted, the conical groove 507 of the connecting column 2 passes through the arc-shaped plate 512. The second magnetic block 513 and the first magnetic block 504 are attracted, pulling the T-shaped block 503. This causes the U-shaped block 501 to move downwards and disengage from the trapezoidal block 403. The trapezoidal block 403 loses support, and under gravity, the insertion column 31 disengages from the slot 401, automatically separating the connecting column 2. The arc-shaped plate 512 then engages with the conical groove 507, preventing the connecting column 2 from falling into the borehole, awaiting removal by the crane or installation of a new connecting column 2.
