[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the manipulator according to the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model includes a base 100, an intermediate structure 200, and a clamping assembly 300. The base 100 and the clamping assembly 300 are connected through the intermediate structure 200. The base 100 is fixedly arranged. The clamping assembly 300 has a first position and a second position. The intermediate structure 200 is used to drive the clamping assembly 300 to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in

[0039] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the process of the manipulator grasping a drill pipe from a drill pipe library and transferring it to a drilling rig is as follows:

[0040] 1. When the clamping assembly 300 is in the first position, it grasps the drill pipe from the drill pipe library;

[0041] 2. The intermediate structure 200 drives the clamping assembly 300 to switch from the first position to the second position;

[0042] 3. The clamping assembly 300 rotates relative to the intermediate structure 200 to transfer the drill pipe to the drilling rig.

[0043] During the process of transferring the drill pipe to the drilling rig in step 3, it is necessary to ensure that the end position of the rotation of the clamping assembly 300 is accurate to ensure that the drill pipe is coaxial with the main engine head 510 of the drilling rig. At present, the method of using sensors is generally adopted to determine the end position of the clamping assembly 300 when transferring to the drill pipe. However, since the manipulator in this embodiment is mainly used in the harsh environment of mines, the sensors are prone to failure or damage, which in turn leads to the drill pipe transferred by the manipulator not being coaxial with the main engine head 510 of the drilling rig, and manual further adjustment is required, thus affecting the efficiency of the drill pipe connection and disconnection of the drilling rig. In order to improve the accuracy when the manipulator transfers the drill pipe to the main engine head 510, the mechanical limit structure method is adopted in this embodiment to limit the rotation end of the clamping assembly 300, thereby avoiding the problem of sensor failure, and at the same time, the mechanical limit structure is more suitable for the harsh environment of mines. The manipulator of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the mounting seat 210 is provided with a through hole, and the limiting shaft 310 is rotatably inserted through the through hole around its own axis; the clamping structure 320 is connected to the limiting shaft 310 through a fastener. Specifically, the mounting seat 210 includes a mounting tube 211, and the through hole axially penetrates the mounting tube 211; the clamping structure 320 includes a first clamping arm 321 and a second clamping arm 322 arranged at intervals, the mounting tube 211 is arranged between the first clamping arm 321 and the second clamping arm 322, the first clamping arm 321 is provided with a first through hole penetrating the first clamping arm 321, the second clamping arm 322 is provided with a second through hole penetrating the second clamping arm 322, the first through hole and the second through hole are concentrically arranged, and the diameters of the first through hole and the second through hole are equal; the diameters of the first through hole, the second through hole, and the through hole are equal.

[0045] Further, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting seat 210 further includes a support rod 212, the support rod 212 is arranged below the mounting tube 211, and the second clamping arm 322 is arranged between the mounting tube 211 and the support rod 212; the support rod 212 is provided with a third through hole penetrating the support rod 212, and the diameter of the third through hole is equal to that of the second through hole. The limiting shaft 310 includes a first rod body 311 and a second rod body 312, and the first rod body 311 and the second rod body 312 are connected through a fastener. Referring to Figure 3 As shown, the fastener can adopt structures such as bolts; the second rod body 312 is arranged below the support rod 212 and abuts against the support rod 212, and a collision block 313 is arranged on the second rod body 312; the first rod body 311 is connected to the first clamping arm 321. Specifically, referring to Figures 1 to 3As shown, the diameter of the first rod body 311 is smaller than that of the second rod body 312, and the upper part of the second rod body 312 abuts against the support rod 212; a radially protruding convex ring is provided at the top of the first rod body 311, and the convex ring is connected to the first clamping arm 321 through fasteners such as bolts. The bottom of the first rod body 311 passes through the third through hole of the support rod 212, and the bottom of the first rod body 311 is connected to the second rod body 312 through fasteners. The support rod 212 is used to support the second clamping arm 322, so as to prevent the entire weight of the clamping assembly 300 and the drill pipe from being borne by the installation pipe 211. The setting of the support rod 212 can reduce the deformation of the installation pipe 211 and thus improve the service life of the equipment; the limiting shaft 310 is designed as the first rod body 311 and the second rod body 312. On the one hand, it is convenient for the installation of the limiting shaft 310. On the other hand, since the second rod body 312 abuts against the support rod 212, the axial movement of the limiting shaft 310 can be restricted, thereby improving the stability of the manipulator in this embodiment.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the manipulator further includes a first telescopic structure 400. The two ends of the first telescopic structure 400 are respectively connected to the clamping structure 320 and the mounting base 210. The telescopic movement of the movable end of the first telescopic structure 400 can drive the clamping structure 320 to rotate. Since the limiting shaft 310 is connected to the clamping structure 320 through fasteners, the rotation of the clamping structure 320 will drive the limiting shaft 310 to rotate around its own axis. The first telescopic structure 400 can adopt structures such as telescopic cylinders and telescopic oil cylinders.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the base 100 is provided with a limiting platform 110, and the limiting platform 110 is provided with two spaced limiting pins 111; the limiting shaft 310 is provided with a radially protruding collision block 313. When the clamping assembly 300 is in the second position, the collision block 313 is located between the two limiting pins 111. When the clamping assembly 300 is in the second position and then the first telescopic structure 400 drives the limiting shaft 310 to rotate, the two limiting pins 111 can contact the collision block 313 to limit the rotation angle and the rotation end point of the limiting shaft 310, that is, to limit the rotation angle and the rotation end point position of the clamping structure 320; when the limiting shaft 310 rotates to contact one of the limiting pins 111, the clamping structure 320 just transfers the drill pipe to a position coaxial with the main machine head 510 below the main machine head 510. By arranging the collision block 313 on the central axis of the clamping assembly 300 and arranging two spaced limiting pins 111 on the base 100, the rotation angle of the clamping assembly 300 is limited by the contact between the two limiting pins 111 and the collision block 313. Without additional electromechanical equipment and sensors, the pure mechanical structure of the collision block 313 and the limiting pins 111 is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and it can be applied to the harsh environment of the mine field, thereby improving the accuracy of drill pipe transfer and the efficiency of rod connection and disconnection of the drilling rig, and reducing the equipment maintenance cost.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the intermediate structure 200 is hinged to the base 100; specifically, the mounting seat 210 further includes a connecting rod 213 and a second telescopic structure 220. The connecting rod 213 is hinged to the base 100, and both ends of the second telescopic structure 220 are respectively hinged to the base 100 and the mounting seat 210; the second telescopic structure 220 is used to drive the connecting rod 213 to rotate around its hinge point with the base 100, thereby realizing the switching of the clamping assembly 300 between the first position and the second position. Specifically, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the support rod 212 is connected to the connecting rod 213, such as by welding or through fasteners; the base 100 is provided with a first hinge shaft 120 and a second hinge shaft 130. The first hinge shaft 120 is arranged above the second hinge shaft 130. Specifically, the first hinge shaft 120 is arranged obliquely above the second hinge shaft 130; the connecting rod 213 is connected to the first hinge shaft 120, and the second telescopic structure 220 is connected to the second hinge shaft 130.

[0049] Further, in the embodiment of the present utility model, when the clamping assembly 300 of this embodiment is in the first position, the length extension directions of the second telescopic structure 220 and the connecting rod 213 are both in the horizontal direction. When the clamping assembly 300 is in the second position, the length extension directions of the second telescopic structure 220 and the connecting rod 213 are both in the vertical direction. In order to avoid interference of the second telescopic structure 220 with the rotation of the connecting rod 213, the first hinge shaft 120 must be arranged diagonally above the second hinge shaft 130. Further, the length extension direction of the connecting rod 213 is parallel to the length extension direction of the second telescopic structure 220.

[0050] Referring Figure 4 As shown, the raise boring machine of the second aspect embodiment of the present utility model includes the above-mentioned manipulator; the raise boring machine further includes an operation platform 500 and a main machine head 510. The main machine head 510 is movably installed above the operation platform 500 in a lifting manner. The base 100 of the manipulator is connected to the operation platform 500, and the main machine head 510 is used to drive the drill rod to drill holes. Since the raise boring machine of this embodiment includes the above-mentioned manipulator, it has at least all the beneficial effects of the manipulator, which will not be elaborated here.
