Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of underwater rock drilling, and in particular to an underwater rock drilling device. Background Art

[0002] During the construction of seabed trench excavation and channel regulation, in order to meet the shipping water depth and trench excavation depth, it is necessary to remove underwater rocks. Currently, the commonly used methods for cleaning underwater reefs are underwater blasting, heavy hammer impact and drilling splitting. Although the underwater blasting method is mature in technology and has high work efficiency, it has a great impact on the environment. The drilling splitting method is not safe and has low work efficiency. The heavy hammer impact method is the most commonly used reef clearing technology and has good applicability in marine ecological protection areas.

[0003] The heavy hammer impact method is to lift the rock drill to a certain height and then let it fall freely, using the gravitational potential energy of the rock drill to convert it into a huge impact force to break the reef. It has the advantages of simple construction equipment and wide applicability. It has a good reef clearing effect on hard rock formations such as slightly weathered and moderately weathered.

[0004] However, due to the obstruction of water, the rock drill loses a lot of gravitational potential energy during the descent process, making it difficult to achieve the rock crushing effect in one go. The rock drill needs to be lifted and lowered many times, which reduces the rock drilling efficiency and increases the rock drilling cost. Utility Model Content

[0049] The underwater rock drilling equipment of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the working principle of the underwater rock drilling equipment.

[0050] In one embodiment, the power unit 204 is a hydraulic impact hammer, and the striking energy of the hydraulic impact hammer is transmitted to the drill rod 202 through the replacement device 205 (because the hammer head has a small diameter, if the drill rod 202 is directly hit, if the drill rod 202 is tilted at a small angle, it is easy to cause structural damage, so the striking energy is transmitted through the replacement device 205), and the drill rod 202 resists and impacts the rock surface to achieve the function of breaking the rock. In order to enable the hydraulic impact hammer to operate normally underwater, the underwater rock drilling equipment is provided with a waterproof shell 201, and compressed air is injected into the waterproof shell 201 through the compressed air inlet valve, and the compressed air is used to keep the working environment of the hydraulic impact hammer in a dry environment. The upper shock absorbing device and the lower shock absorbing device are mainly used to absorb and eliminate the residual energy of a single hit of the hydraulic impact hammer to ensure that the equipment will not be damaged.

[0051] Specifically, the hydraulic impact hammer of the underwater rock drilling equipment is powered through the hydraulic oil transmission port to start rock drilling. As the penetration depth of the drill rod 202 into the rock changes, the stroke sensor set in the hydraulic lifting cylinder of the underwater rock drilling equipment detects the extended length of the cylinder piston rod. When the length reaches the set rock drilling depth, the rock drilling is considered to be completed. The hydraulic pump station powers the hydraulic lifting cylinder, and the pulling force of the hydraulic lifting cylinder is used to pull the drill rod 202 of the underwater rock drilling equipment out of the rock.

[0052] The present application sets a power unit 204 and a drill rod 202 in the underwater rock drilling equipment, and movably fixes the drill rod 202 at the bottom of the underwater rock drilling equipment; the output end of the power unit 204 is opposite to the top of the drill rod 202 to drive the drill rod 202 to drill the rock. The embodiment of the present application sets the rock drilling equipment underwater, and drives the drill rod 202 to drill the rock through the power unit 204 in the rock drilling equipment, thereby greatly reducing the number of times the equipment is repeatedly lifted, reducing energy loss, effectively improving rock drilling efficiency, and reducing the time consumption and rock drilling cost of the rock drilling project.

[0053] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", "1", "2", etc. (if any) in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that shown or described in the drawings.

[0054] It should be understood that, although each operation step is indicated by arrows in the flowchart of the embodiment of the present application, the implementation order of these steps is not limited to the order indicated by the arrows. Unless clearly stated herein, in some implementation scenarios of the embodiment of the present application, the implementation steps in each flowchart can be performed in other orders according to demand.

In different scenarios of execution time, the execution order of these sub-steps or stages may be flexibly configured according to demand, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0055] The above is only an optional implementation method for some implementation scenarios of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the technical concept of the solution of the present application, other similar implementation methods based on the technical ideas of the present application are also within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
