Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ground drilling construction equipment, in particular to a drill rod grabbing and loading and unloading device for horizontal directional drilling. Background Art
[0002] A horizontal directional drill (HDD) is a construction machine used to lay a variety of underground utilities without excavating the ground. It is widely used in the laying of flexible pipelines for water supply, electricity, telecommunications, natural gas, coal gas, and oil. Horizontal directional drilling technology combines directional drilling techniques from the oil industry with traditional pipeline construction methods. It offers advantages such as high speed, high precision, and low cost.
[0003] The drill rod of a horizontal directional drilling rig is composed of multiple sections of drill rods and a drill bit, which needs to be assembled before construction. In the existing construction process, the loading and unloading of the drill rod and the drilling rig are generally done manually or by hoisting. The staff uses the wire rope or clamps on the hoisting device to fix the drill rod and hoist the drill rod to a preset position for matching installation. However, it is inconvenient to position the drill rod using a hoisting device, and the staff needs to manually assist in positioning, which is inconvenient to operate. In addition, the efficiency of loading and unloading the drill rod is low, the labor intensity of the workers is high, and there are certain safety risks in hoisting and handling. This is an existing problem. Utility Model Content

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0015] In this device, the directional drill is movably mounted on a track. A servo motor drives the base to move left and right, and a pneumatic chuck controls the engagement and release of the positioning teeth with the positioning rack. This allows the base to move freely or be fixed on the track, facilitating the positioning and installation of the drill rod after it is positioned. It can also be moved and fixed in position to facilitate subsequent construction. After the gripping assembly grasps the drill rod, the loading rack drives the drill rod to rotate, automatically aligning it with the directional drill, eliminating the need for manual positioning and reducing labor intensity and safety risks. The base is hinged to a carrier or platform, and the end where the directional drill is located can be lifted to facilitate tilting the directional drill during construction.
