Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of hydraulic rock drills, specifically relating to a motor connection assembly for the rotary mechanism of a rock drill. Background Technology
[0002] As hydraulic rock drills evolve towards high-frequency, high-pressure, and rapid switching, higher demands are placed on their frequency and impact energy. Similarly, a proper match between the impact and rotation of the rock drill can achieve better drilling results, so rotation performance is also an important performance parameter of hydraulic rock drills.
[0003] The rotational performance parameters of a hydraulic rock drill directly affect its drilling efficiency. The two main parameters are rotational torque and rotational speed. The hydraulic motor, as the power source for the rotational mechanism, transmits torque to the drill rod through a reduction gear to shear the rock. The resistance torque generated by the drill rod and drill bit during rotation and rock shearing is the rotational torque of the hydraulic rock drill. The rotational speed of the hydraulic rock drill determines the distance the drill rod rotates between every two impact drilling operations, which is also known as the drill rod rotation speed.
[0004] Therefore, for a hydraulic rock drill to achieve the desired impact performance, the number of rotations required to drill rocks of different properties has a significant impact on the drilling efficiency of the rock drill.
[0005] During drilling operations, hydraulic rock drills are prone to abnormal conditions such as drill bit jamming due to the variable physical properties of the rock at the construction site. When the maximum rotational force output by the hydraulic rock drill's rotary mechanism is less than the rotational resistance from the drill bit, the drill bit can become stuck in the borehole. There are three types of jamming: one is caused by a sudden entry into a karst cave, resulting in a rapid drop or rise in the drill's rotational pressure; the second type is caused by a gradual change in rotational pressure; and the third type is caused by a sudden entry into a crack, leading to a rapid increase in pressure.
[0006] Getting stuck in the drill bit is unavoidable. As a result, the rotating mechanism of the rock drill will generate a corresponding alternating torque, which is then transmitted to the hydraulic motor. This alternating torque and vibration can easily cause the connecting parts that fix the motor to loosen, resulting in the motor bolts being subjected to flange shear force and breaking, thus affecting the normal operation of the rock drill.
[0007] like Figure 6As shown, the conventional hydraulic rock drill motor connection uses a sealing paper gasket and ordinary double-ended bolt washers and nuts. In the existing connection method, the hydraulic rock drill will vibrate during the rock drilling process as the rock physical properties change. Water and slag erosion will damage the sealing paper gasket 1. At the same time, long-term vibration will cause the nut 4 to loosen. If the nut loosens, the connection between the motor 5 and the housing 6 will also loosen. At this time, the alternating torque generated by the rotation of the motor during the operation of the rock drill will cause the motor flange to act on the double-ended bolt 2. Since it is directly installed on the rock drill housing, the stress at the connection between the root of its thread and the housing is concentrated at the junction, so a shearing force is directly generated, causing the stress concentration at the root of the double-ended bolt 2 to break. In severe cases, it will also damage the flange fixing hole of the motor 5.
[0008] Ordinary double-ended bolts are insufficient for resolving motor nut loosening issues during rock drilling. The only recourse is to shorten maintenance cycles (requiring regular checks and tightening of the nuts as needed), significantly impacting drilling efficiency. If maintenance is delayed, nut loosening can lead to bolt root breakage, which cannot be resolved on-site. The rock drill must be shut down and taken to a specialized repair shop for major repairs to remove the broken bolt. This prolonged maintenance period results in serious malfunctions and disrupts drilling operations. Utility Model Content

[0035] See appendix Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a motor connection assembly for a rock drill rotary mechanism, including a connector 100 and a connecting slot 200. The connector 100 is disposed between a hydraulic motor 5 and a rock drill housing 6, and the connecting slot 200 is disposed on the rock drill housing 6 and cooperates with the connector 100. The connector 100 includes a bolt 110 that can pass through the flange hole of the hydraulic motor 5, and a locking member 120 is detachably connected to the end of the bolt 110. The bolt 110 includes a nut section 111 and a slot section 120. 12. A stepped section 113 is integrally formed between the nut section 111 and the slotted section 112, and a transition section 114 is formed between the stepped section 113 and the nut section 111; the connecting slot 200 includes a connecting hole 210 opened on the rock drill housing 6, the connecting hole 210 is correspondingly set with the flange hole of the hydraulic motor 5, the slotted section 112 passes through into the corresponding connecting hole 210 and connects with it, and the inner cavity of the connecting hole 210 facing the hydraulic motor 5 is provided with a positioning hole 220 that is adapted to the stepped section 113.
[0036] See Figure 4 As shown, the diameter of the nut section 111 is smaller than the diameter of the slot section 112, and the diameter of the platform section 113 is larger than the diameter of the slot section 112. The nut section 111, the slot section 112, the platform section 113, and the transition section 114 are coaxially arranged.
[0037] The surface of the slotted section 112 is provided with a first external thread, and the inner wall of the connecting hole 210 is provided with a first internal thread. The slotted section 112 is threadedly connected to the connecting hole 210 through the first external thread and the first internal thread. The locking member 120 includes a threaded sleeve 121 connected to the surface of the nut section 111. The threaded sleeve 121 is located on the side of the hydraulic motor 5 flange away from the rock drill housing 6. An anti-loosening element is provided between the threaded sleeve 121 and the hydraulic motor 5 flange. Through the cooperation of the nut section 111 and the threaded sleeve 121, the hydraulic motor 5 and the nut section 111 can be fixedly connected.
[0038] To achieve a durable and effective anti-loosening effect, the locking component and the anti-loosening component are designed as an embedded integrated structure. The anti-loosening component includes a first wedge-type anti-loosening washer 122 and a second wedge-type anti-loosening washer 123 sleeved on the nut section 111. The convex tooth surfaces of the first wedge-type anti-loosening washer 122 and the second wedge-type anti-loosening washer 123 are arranged opposite to each other. The first wedge-type anti-loosening washer 122 contacts the locking component 120, and the second wedge-type anti-loosening washer 123 contacts the flange of the hydraulic motor 5. The anti-loosening component can effectively reduce the loss of preload when the structure is subjected to vibration, impact, tension and other forces, and effectively prevent the relative rotation of the threaded sleeve 121.
[0039] The surface of the nut segment 111 is provided with a second external thread, and the inner wall surface of the threaded sleeve 121 is provided with a second internal thread. The threaded sleeve 121 is threadedly sleeved onto the surface of the nut segment 111 through the engagement of the second internal thread and the second external thread.
[0040] In order to provide sealing and shock absorption, a sealing gasket 300 is provided between the hydraulic motor 5 and the rock drill housing 6. The sealing gasket 300 has a through hole for the nut section 111 to pass through. The through hole is set in correspondence with the positioning hole 220. The sealing gasket 300 can prevent the hydraulic motor 5 from directly contacting the rock drill housing 6.
[0041] To extend the service life of the sealing gasket 300, the sealing gasket 300 comprises an inner layer and an outer layer, with the outer layer wrapping around the surface of the inner layer. The inner layer is a metal gasket, and the outer layer is a silicone gasket, which improves the quality of the sealing gasket 300 and avoids the corrosion and cracking problems that occur later when using ordinary paper gaskets.
[0042] When using the rock drill rotary mechanism motor connection assembly of the above technical solution, the slotted section 112 is inserted into the corresponding connection hole 210 and rotated, so that the slotted section 112 is connected to the corresponding connection hole 210 through the first external thread and the first internal thread. At the same time, the platform stage 113 is placed in the positioning hole 220 to solve the problem of stress concentration at the root of the bolt 110 thread and avoid the problem of the bolt 110 loosening and breaking due to special reasons caused by the hydraulic motor 5. Then, the sealing gasket 300 is placed on one side of the rock drill housing 6, so that the nut section 111 passes through the through hole on the sealing gasket 300.
[0043] Pass the flange hole of the hydraulic motor 5 through the nut section 111, and then successively put the second wedge-type anti-loosening washer 123 and the first wedge-type anti-loosening washer 122 on the nut section 111, so that the convex tooth surfaces of the first wedge-type anti-loosening washer 122 and the second wedge-type anti-loosening washer 123 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0044] Finally, the threaded sleeve 121 is fitted onto the nut section 111 and rotated, so that the threaded sleeve 121 presses the first wedge-type anti-loosening washer 122 and the second wedge-type anti-loosening washer 123 against the flange of the hydraulic motor 5, thus completing the connection and fixing operation between the hydraulic motor 5 and the rock drill housing 6.
[0045] In summary, this utility model provides a motor connection assembly for the rotary mechanism of a rock drill. By specially processing the connecting slot on the rock drill housing according to different rock conditions during the rock drilling process, and connecting it with a connector, the problem of stress concentration at the root of the connecting thread is effectively solved. This avoids loosening of the connection caused by alternating torque generated by the rock drill getting stuck under complex working conditions, ensuring the reliability of the rock drill and extending its service life. As a result, it can adapt to rapid drilling under different rock conditions and improve rock drilling efficiency.
