[0025] The technical scheme of the utility model will be described in further detail below with specific embodiments.

[0026] As Figure 1 shown, a pneumatic drill rig air-water same pressure hole bottom dust removal device, including main air pipe 1, branch air pipe 2, water pipe 4, air-water mixing chamber 11, safety exhaust pipe 7 and pressure air-water pipe 9.

[0027] Specifically, in the embodiment, the pipe diameter of main air pipe 1 is φ50 air pipe, the pipe diameter of branch air pipe 2 is φ25 air pipe, and the pipe diameter of safety exhaust pipe 7 and pressure air-water pipe 9 is both φ25 pipe, and the unit of the above pipe diameter is mm.

[0028] The main road of main air pipe 1 is connected to the dust removal air duct of the drill rig, and a main control valve 10 is installed on the main air pipe as the output control of the main road air path.

[0029] The branch air pipe 2 is a branch of the main air pipe 1 and is provided with a branch air pipe valve 3, and the tail end of the branch air pipe 2 is communicated with the first inlet of the air-water mixing chamber 11, and in use, the branch air pipe 2 provides driving power and empties the air-water mixing chamber 11, and in the embodiment, the air pressure of the branch air pipe 2 is controlled to be above 1.2 MPa.

[0030] The water pipe 4 is communicated with the second inlet of the air-water mixing chamber 11 through a water pipe valve 5, and is used to provide water.

[0031] The upper end of the air-water mixing chamber 11 is provided with the safety exhaust pipe 7 and an exhaust valve 6, and the main function of the pipeline is to open the valve and exhaust the air in the interior when water is introduced into the air-water mixing chamber 11, and in the embodiment, the volume of the air-water mixing chamber is ≥100L.

[0032] The outlet of the air-water mixing chamber 11 is communicated with the pressure air-water pipe 9, the output valve 8 is installed on the pressure air-water pipe 9, and the pressure air-water pipe 9 is used to provide air-water mixed fluid for the dust removal air duct of the drill rig, and in the embodiment, the tail end of the pressure air-water pipe 9 is communicated with the main air pipe 1, and the connection position of the pressure air-water pipe 9 and the main air pipe 1 is located on the downstream side of the main control valve 10.

[0033] In other embodiments, the pressure air-water pipe 9 can be directly connected to the dust removal air duct of the drill rig for dust removal.

[0034] Working process is briefly described as follows:

[0035] Before use, open the water pipe valve 5 and the exhaust valve 6, and close other valves, and fill the air-water mixing chamber 11 with water.

[0036] During construction, the water pipe valve 5 and the exhaust valve 6 are closed, the branch air pipe valve 3, the output valve 8 and the main control valve 10 are opened, part of the airflow is directly transmitted to the drilling machine along the main road, and the other part of the airflow enters the branch air pipe 2 with a smaller diameter and provides air pressure for the air-water mixing chamber. Under the action of air pressure, air and water are mixed in the air-water mixing chamber, and under the action of air pressure, they are discharged into the pressure air-water pipe, and finally mixed with the air in the main air pipe, and finally output to the dust removal pipeline of the drilling machine for dust removal.

[0037] When drilling is stopped, the main control valve 10 of the main air pipe 1 is closed first, and then the output valve 8 on the pressure air-water pipe 9 is closed.

[0038] Since all the pressure comes from the air pressure, the air-water mixing pressure also depends on the size of the air pressure, and it is not necessary to test and determine the optimal air pressure, water pressure and water volume as required by the traditional dust removal method to achieve the dust removal effect.

[0039] The scheme is based on the experiment of Jiufengshan Pumped Storage Power Station, which is located in Huangshui Village, Huixian City, Xinxiang City, Henan Province. Most of the drilling construction parts are in narrow and closed caverns, including plant drainage gallery drainage hole drilling, drainage gallery drainage hole drilling of the water diversion system, consolidation grouting drilling of the water diversion system, etc. The smallest cavern size is 3m×3m city gate type, and the largest cavern size is 5.61~6.18m×6.9~7.6m horseshoe shape. The drainage hole drilling is about 237,000m, and the consolidation grouting drilling is about 280,000m. The drilling engineering quantity is large. When the rotary drilling is used, the drilling efficiency cannot meet the time limit requirement. When the percussion drilling is used, the drilling efficiency is high, but a large amount of dust is easily produced. In the closed and narrow underground chamber, dust is not easy to discharge. By using a downhole percussion drilling machine hole bottom dust removal device, dust can be effectively removed, the working environment of the operating personnel is improved, the water consumption is reduced to meet the engineering environmental protection requirements, and the drilling efficiency also meets the time limit requirement.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that: the above has made a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the patent, but the patent is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge range of ordinary skilled persons in the art without departing from the purpose of the patent.
