Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline laying construction equipment, in particular to an electrically controlled hydraulically driven horizontal directional drilling rig. Background Art

[0002] Horizontal directional drilling rigs are divided into electric-controlled hydraulic-driven horizontal directional drilling rigs and electric-driven horizontal directional drilling rigs. Both types of horizontal directional drilling rigs have basic structure drag chains, drill frames, chassis and power heads. The cable 9 connecting the power head needs to start from the chassis and be connected to the power head through the drag chain. Since the electric-controlled hydraulic-driven horizontal directional drilling rig can provide a large driving force, it can handle various complex geological conditions and has become the main product on the market. Electric-controlled hydraulic-driven horizontal directional drilling rigs basically have cables and hydraulic pipes mixed inside the drag chain. Because the drag chain moves back and forth with the power head, the pressure in the hydraulic pipe is high, which causes the hydraulic pipe to be squeezed inward when it reaches the curved part of the drag chain, causing the cable to rub against the cross brace on the drag chain, resulting in cable damage. Summary of the invention

Compared with the traditional electric-controlled hydraulically driven horizontal directional drilling rig, it avoids the problem that when the drag chain moves back and forth with the power head, the hydraulic pipe is squeezed inward when it reaches the bending part of the drag chain due to the high pressure in the hydraulic pipe, causing the cable to rub against the cross brace on the drag chain and cause cable damage. It can also facilitate independent maintenance of the hydraulic pipe or cable in the later stage; 2.
