Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground excavation equipment technology, specifically a drill rod magazine applied to a rock drilling rig. Background Technology
[0002] Rock drilling rigs play a crucial role in drill-and-blast excavation, performing multiple tasks including drilling, support, auxiliary anchor bolt installation, auxiliary charging, and advance detection. For advance detection, operators need to drill holes 10m-30m deep at the working face of the rig to probe the rock conditions ahead, as well as detect the presence of groundwater layers, toxic gases, etc. Currently, most mainstream tunnel drilling rigs are equipped with 5-6m drill rods; to achieve drilling depths of 10m-30m, manual extension of the drill rod is required.
[0003] Manual assistance rod connection is divided into two types: semi-mechanized and fully manual. However, regardless of the method, it is impossible to avoid workers being exposed to the working face of the rock drilling rig. The working face of the rock drilling rig is usually a relatively dangerous area that has just been blasted and the slag has been removed, and is not fully supported, which poses a construction safety risk.
[0004] In addition, some detection holes are at a high height, making it difficult for operators to complete the pole extension work on the ground. They need to use devices or equipment such as aerial work platforms. However, aerial work platforms usually have limited space, making it inconvenient and inefficient to assist in pole extension work, and it is also easy to cause safety accidents. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention provides a drill rod magazine for use with rock drilling rigs. When used in conjunction with the rock drilling rig, it enables fully mechanized rod loading and unloading operations. Operators can load and unload drill rods from the driver's cab of the rock drilling rig, avoiding exposure to unsupported areas and dangerous high-altitude areas, while simultaneously improving loading and unloading efficiency and saving construction time.
[0006] This utility model provides a drill pipe magazine for a rock drilling rig, including a drill pipe magazine structure, a robotic arm, and a robotic arm assembly. The drill pipe magazine structure includes a drill pipe magazine faceplate, a drill pipe magazine rotating shaft, and a drill pipe magazine rotating device. The rotating device controls the rotating shaft to rotate around its own axis. Several faceplates are fitted around the outer edge of the rotating shaft and rotate with it. Several drill pipe slots are provided on the circumference of the faceplates, and the drill pipes in the magazine are fixed through these slots. The robotic arm includes a robotic arm assembly mounting bracket, a robotic arm rotating shaft, and a robotic arm rotating device. The rotating device controls the rotating shaft to rotate around its own axis, and the mounting bracket is fixed to the rotating shaft and rotates with it. The robotic arm assembly includes a rotating shaft, a rotating device, and several robotic arms. The rotating device controls the rotating shaft to rotate around its own axis, and the robotic arms are coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft and rotate with it.
[0007] In a further improvement, the drill pipe magazine rotating device, the robotic arm rotating device, and the robotic arm component rotating device are each equipped with an independent rotation angle sensor.
[0008] In a further improvement, the drill pipe magazine rotation axis, the robot arm rotation axis, and the robot rotation axis are distributed in parallel.
[0009] In a further improvement, the drill rod magazine structure and the two ends of the robotic arm are fixed by a base, and the base is provided with a connecting part that cooperates with the rock drilling rig's propulsion beam.

[0011] In a further improvement, several robotic arms in the robotic arm assembly are controlled to grip and release via hydraulic cylinders.
[0012] A method for operating a drill pipe magazine used in a rock drilling rig includes the following steps:
[0013] 1) The drill rod magazine rotation device controls the rotation shaft of the drill rod magazine to drive the drill rod magazine disc to rotate, so that the slots with drill rods on the drill rod magazine disc rotate to the loading station;
[0014] 2) The robot arm rotation device controls the robot arm rotation axis to drive the robot arm component mounting bracket to rotate to the loading station. In this state, the robot arm on the robot arm component mounting bracket is facing the drill rod on the drill rod tray.
[0015] 3) The robotic arm grips the drill rod, and the robotic arm forearm rotation device controls the robotic arm forearm rotation axis to drive the robotic arm component mounting bracket to rotate to the docking position;
[0016] 4) The rotating device of the robotic arm component controls the rotating shaft of the robotic arm to drive the robotic arm to rotate, so that the drill rod held on the robotic arm rotates to a position coaxial with the main shaft of the rock drilling rig's push beam. The main shaft of the rock drilling rig's push beam rotates and pushes, connecting with the drill rod. The robotic arm releases the drill rod, and the main shaft of the rock drilling rig's push beam drives the drill rod to carry out construction.
[0017] 5) When changing drill rods, the robot arm holds the drill rod, the main shaft of the rock drilling rig's push beam rotates and retracts to separate from the drill rod, and the robot arm component rotation device and the robot arm forearm rotation device control the robot arm in sequence to return it to the loading position and put the drill rod back on the drill rod tray.
[0018] 6) Rotate the drill rod holder disc to move the new drill rod to the loading station, and repeat steps 1-4) until construction is completed.
[0019] In the above working method, the rotation angle of the robotic arm component rotation device, the robotic arm forearm rotation device, and the drill rod magazine rotation device is controlled by a rotation angle sensor during rotation to ensure the accuracy of each rod connection and unloading process.
