Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mining drilling rigs and relates to a full-section drilling rig with a drill rod conveying system. Background Technology
[0002] Under the strategic framework of intelligent coal mining, drilling automation has become a key approach to achieving less-manned and unmanned underground operations. Traditional manual operation methods are limited by the complex underground environment and personnel fatigue, making it difficult to meet the dual demands of efficient mining and inherent safety in modern coal mines. Automation technology, on the other hand, can automate the drilling process and auxiliary procedures, significantly reducing labor intensity, improving safety, and breaking through the efficiency bottleneck of manual operation, thus becoming an inevitable choice for technological upgrading in the coal industry.
[0003] After nearly 10 years of development, automated drilling rig technology has become increasingly mature, achieving fully automated operation in loading and unloading drill rods, drilling, and attitude adjustment. It has been widely applied in disaster prevention and control projects such as gas extraction and water exploration. However, most automated drilling rigs currently used in the industry employ a three-stage drill rod conveying system (CN201911185745.9) consisting of dual robotic arms combined with a translational transfer device. Existing automated drilling rigs have the following main shortcomings:
[0004] (1) The range of borehole inclination angle is limited.
[0005] Due to the spatial relationship between the drill pipe loading / unloading robot and the tracked platform, it cannot meet the requirements for drilling at large negative inclination angles. When drilling at large positive inclination angles, the frame needs to be raised to a relatively high height, which generally limits the operation to tunnels with larger cross-sections.
[0006] (2) The opening height is relatively high
[0007] Due to the limitations of the drill pipe conveying principle of the drill pipe loading and unloading system, the height of the drilling host (mainly referring to the power head and frame) must be adapted to the drill pipe conveying route, resulting in a relatively high opening height.
[0008] (3) It is difficult to achieve four-corner anchoring.
[0009] Anchoring is an important measure to ensure the stability of the drilling rig during drilling. However, due to the limitations of existing technology in terms of the space required for the retraction platform, tracked vehicle, and manipulator's movement and relative position, it is usually only possible to use the two anchoring components at the rear of the drilling rig. It is difficult to use the two anchoring components at the front of the drilling rig, resulting in poor stability of the rig body during drilling, which affects drilling efficiency and safety.
[0010] Therefore, there is a need for an automated drilling rig that can be used in a wider range of inclination angles and with a lower drilling height, so as to improve the application scope of automated drilling rigs and give full play to their role in reducing manpower, improving efficiency and increasing safety in mine safety engineering.

[0066] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0067] (1) This utility model uses two independent rotary heads to drive the drill pipe transfer device and the frame to rotate respectively. With the side-mounted installation of the frame, the drill pipe transfer device can be adjusted in a wide range of tilt angles in the vertical plane.
[0068] Expanding the Drilling Inclination Range. Existing drill pipe transfer devices, due to design flaws, can only move in the horizontal plane, limiting the drilling inclination range of automatic drilling rigs and hindering their expansion into large-angle drilling conditions. The adjustable-inclination drill pipe transfer mechanism of this invention achieves asynchronous rotation adjustment of the inclination angle between the frame and the transfer device through an asynchronous rotation device. The inclination angle rotator adjusts the inclination angle of the frame, and the transfer device rotator adjusts the inclination angle of the transfer device. These two mechanisms work together to enable the transfer device to perform a wide range of inclination angle adjustments in the vertical plane. This allows the automatic drilling rig to adapt to drilling requirements at larger inclination angles, breaking through previous technical limitations, meeting drilling operations under more complex geological conditions, and broadening the application scenarios of automatic drilling rigs.
[0069] To avoid component interference and achieve drilling at large negative inclination angles, this invention addresses the problem of improperly positioned drill pipe transporters, robotic arms, and frames in existing technologies. Interference occurs when the robotic arm adjusts the drill pipe transport angle, especially under negative inclination angle conditions, preventing existing automatic drilling rigs from performing such drilling. The invention's optimized attitude adjustment device effectively avoids this issue. Through the sequential connection of components such as the inclination rotator, frame connecting plate, slewing transition plate, and lifting sleeve, the drill pipe transporter and frame can be independently adjusted for inclination angle. Under negative inclination angle conditions, the transporter can be adjusted to the appropriate angle as needed without interfering with other components on the slewing platform, thus enabling drilling at large negative inclination angles and further enhancing the operational capabilities of automatic drilling rigs.
[0070] This invention enhances automation and intelligence. It makes the drilling process more automated, and combined with automated drilling technology, enables fully automatic operation of drill rod loading and unloading, drilling, and attitude adjustment. This further reduces labor intensity, improves operational safety and efficiency, and provides strong support for the intelligent construction of coal mines.
[0071] (2) This technical solution combines the integrated design of the anchoring components and the attitude adjustment device with the side-mounted installation on the frame, ensuring that the drilling rig can achieve full four-corner anchoring during azimuth adjustment. Traditional drilling rigs have difficulty achieving four-corner anchoring in certain positions, leading to instability of the rig body during drilling and posing safety hazards. This solution, by optimizing the structural layout, makes four-corner anchoring possible, significantly improving the stability of the drilling rig. This enhanced stability not only reduces operational risks but also provides reliable protection for safe construction in complex environments, fully demonstrating the dual advantages of the technical solution in terms of performance and safety.
[0072] (3) This utility model integrates most of the functions of the main manipulator by connecting the main rotary joint and the main telescopic joint and integrating them with the frame, keeping their tilt angles consistent, simplifying the manipulator's movements and reducing the possibility of interference with other components. The main rotary joint can satisfy the rotation of the main manipulator at a certain angle, meaning that any drill rod within this angle range can be grasped by the main manipulator; in addition, combined with the telescopic effect of the main telescopic joint, the grasping range of the main manipulator is further expanded within the original rotation angle range, thus achieving wider applicability.
[0073] (4) By setting a secondary rotary joint with a limited angle, the secondary manipulator's swing function in the vertical plane is realized. This allows the secondary manipulator to transport drill pipe over components such as the attitude adjustment device, thus allowing the drill pipe transfer device to be positioned on the opposite side of the drill pipe box on the attitude adjustment device. This improvement significantly enhances the flexibility of the drill pipe transport system layout suitable for full-face drilling, enabling the drilling rig to adapt to more complex downhole environments and drilling requirements. Because the secondary manipulator can swing in the vertical plane, the drilling rig is no longer limited to the traditional manipulator's linear up-and-down movement when drilling full-face, full-angle ranges. This greatly increases the drilling angle range of the drilling rig, improving its adaptability and operational efficiency.
[0074] (5) The drill rod is secured during transport by clamping both ends and pressing the top, thus preventing it from falling during inclination adjustment. This facilitates drill rod loading and unloading: When the drill rod transporter is in the state of loading or unloading (other clamping mechanisms have already secured the drill rod), the pressing cylinder drives the pressure plate to rotate and open upwards, and the sliding cylinder drives the slider to move outwards, expanding the internal space of the transporter and reducing obstruction during loading and unloading. It enhances drill rod stability: By clamping both ends of the drill rod with sliders and pressing the top with a pressure plate, the drill rod is secured from multiple directions, greatly enhancing its stability during transport and effectively preventing problems caused by shaking, shifting, or even falling during transport. It adapts to large inclination angles: The above-mentioned fixing method ensures the drill rod remains stable under large inclination angles, preventing it from falling during inclination adjustment and expanding the application range and adaptability of the automatic drilling machine.

In other embodiments of this utility model, both axial clamping blocks are sliders 805. A pressure plate 803 and a clamping cylinder 804 are hinged to the upper part of the axial clamping block, wherein the pressure plate 803 is located above the support block 802 and is rotatably connected to the upper part of the axial clamping block. The clamping cylinder 804 is located outside the two axial clamping blocks. The clamping cylinder 804 drives the pressure plate 803, serving as the power source for its rotation. Through the telescopic movement of the clamping cylinder 804, power is transmitted to the pressure plate 803, causing it to rotate along a predetermined trajectory, thus clamping or releasing the drill rod until it is pressed firmly against the support block 802. The pressure plate 803 applies pressure to the drill rod from the top, further restricting its vertical and horizontal movement, enhancing its stability, and preventing it from falling during transport. Precise control of the clamping cylinder 804 ensures that the pressure plate 803 applies appropriate pressure to the drill rod, preventing both insufficient pressure (failing to effectively fix the drill rod) and excessive pressure (damaging the drill rod).
[0110] A sliding cylinder 806 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 801. The sliding cylinder 806 is connected to the slider 805 and is the power device that drives the slider 805 to slide along the length of the base plate 801. Driving the slider 805 to slide towards the center along the length of the base plate 801 causes the slider 805 to clamp the drill rod, restricting the axial movement of the drill rod. Together with the support block 802 and the pressure plate 803, it forms a multi-directional fixation of the drill rod. The stable operation of the sliding cylinder 806 can accurately control the position and moving speed of the slider 805, ensuring the smooth loading, unloading and fixing of the drill rod, and guaranteeing the stability of the drill rod during transportation.
[0111] When the drill pipe transferor 8 is in the state of waiting to load or remove drill pipes (other clamping mechanisms have already clamped the drill pipes), the clamping cylinder 804 drives the pressure plate 803, causing the pressure plate 803 to rotate and open upwards. The sliding cylinder 806 drives the slider 805 to move outwards, expanding the internal space to facilitate the loading or removal of drill pipes. After the drill pipe is loaded or removed, the clamping cylinder 804 drives the pressure plate 803 to rotate back to the clamping position. When the drill pipe is placed inside the drill pipe transferor 8, and the drill pipe transferor 8 needs to rotate or move, the clamping cylinder 804 drives the pressure plate 803 to clamp the drill pipe, and the sliding cylinder 806 drives the slider 805 to move towards the center, keeping the internal drill pipe stable and preventing it from falling out.

The main rotary actuator 902 is located at one end of the rotary seat 903 and drives the main rotary shaft 905 to rotate. The main rotary shaft 905 passes through the rotary seat 903 and is connected to the main telescopic joint.
[0114] The main gripper assembly is connected to the bottom of the main telescopic joint, and the main telescopic joint drives the main gripper assembly to extend and retract in the vertical direction. The main gripper assembly is used for gripping.

[0167] Example 2
[0168] This embodiment further defines the main telescopic joint based on Embodiment 1. The main telescopic joint includes a vertically arranged outer main cylinder 907 and an inner main cylinder 908. The outer main cylinder 907 is connected to the main rotating shaft 905, and the inner main cylinder 908 is slidably connected inside the outer main cylinder 907. The main gripper assembly is connected to the bottom of the inner main cylinder 908. In implementation, the inner main cylinder 908 and the outer main cylinder 907 maintain relative sliding in the axial direction, with the sliding direction perpendicular to the axis of the main rotating shaft 905 in the main rotating joint. This extends the radius of the original main manipulator 9 and expands its grasping range. Furthermore, during installation, the inner main cylinder 908 and the outer main cylinder 907 should be equipped with limiting rings or retaining rings to ensure that the inner main cylinder 908 does not slide outside the outer main cylinder 907.
[0169] Furthermore, the main outer cylinder 907 and the main rotating shaft 905 are detachably connected via flanges. In implementation, the main telescopic joint in this invention is suspended from one end of the main rotating shaft 905. Combined with the weight of the main gripper assembly, sufficient connection strength is required between the main rotating shaft 905 and the main outer cylinder 907. A flange connection involves fixing two pipes, fittings, or equipment to separate flanges, placing a gasket between the two flanges, and then tightening them together with bolts. Flange connections are an important connection method in pipeline construction; they are convenient to use and can withstand significant pressure. Therefore, this invention uses a flange connection to ensure sufficient connection strength between the main rotating shaft 905 and the main outer cylinder 907. The flange connection, secured with multiple bolts, allows for disassembly of the main rotating shaft 905 and the main outer cylinder 907, facilitating later maintenance or replacement of various components.
[0170] In addition, both the outer main cylinder 907 and the inner main cylinder 908 in this invention are hollow cylindrical structures, which reduces the weight of the main telescopic joint to a certain extent and further ensures the connection strength between the outer main cylinder 907 and the main rotating shaft 905.
[0171] Furthermore, the main telescopic joint also includes a main telescopic cylinder 906, which is fixed to the top of the main outer cylinder 907. The main inner cylinder 908 is connected to the output end of the main telescopic cylinder 906. This invention intelligently controls the relative movement between the main outer cylinder 907 and the main inner cylinder 908 through the main telescopic cylinder 906, allowing the main gripper assembly located at the bottom of the main inner cylinder 908 to stop at a set position and perform a gripping action. The extension and retraction process of the main telescopic cylinder 906 is the distance that the main outer cylinder 907 and the main inner cylinder 908 can move relative to each other, and this distance should be less than the limit displacement between the main outer cylinder 907 and the main inner cylinder 908 to prevent collisions between them.
[0172] Furthermore, the main gripper assembly includes a main gripper 910 and a main clamping cylinder 909. The main clamping cylinder 909 is fixed to the lower part of the main inner cylinder 908, and the main gripper 910 is fixed to the main clamping cylinder 909, clamping or releasing under the drive of the main clamping cylinder 909. In implementation, after the main rotary joint drives the main gripper 910 to rotate to a set angle, the main gripper 910 is extended to a designated position through the telescopic function of the main telescopic joint. Finally, the main clamping cylinder 909 executes the gripping command to complete the gripping process. Then, the main telescopic joint controls the main gripper 910 to retract. After the main rotary joint drives the main telescopic joint and the main gripper 910 to rotate to a designated position, the main clamping cylinder 909 executes the releasing command to release the gripped drill rod to the designated position.
[0173] Example 3:
[0174] Then according to Figure 13 As shown, the frame-fixed main manipulator 9 provided by the present invention also includes a sliding joint, and a rotating seat 903 is fixed on the sliding joint to drive the main manipulator 9 to move horizontally as a whole. The difference from Embodiment 2 is that this embodiment adds a sliding joint, while the remaining main rotation joints and main telescopic joints are consistent with Embodiment 2.
[0175] As mentioned above, the combination of the main rotary joint and the main telescopic joint expands the grasping range of the main manipulator 9. In this embodiment, the sliding joint applies a horizontal displacement function to the main manipulator 9, further expanding the grasping range of the main manipulator 9.
[0176] Furthermore, the sliding joint includes a fixed base 901 and a connecting arm 911. The fixed base 901 is connected to the frame 11 and has a horizontally arranged main slide rail. The bottom of the connecting arm 911 has a sliding groove that cooperates with the main slide rail. The rotating seat 903 in the main rotating joint is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 911. In implementation, the horizontal displacement between the connecting arm 911 and the fixed base 901 is limited by the cooperation between the track and the sliding groove, that is, the horizontal displacement direction and horizontal displacement amount of the connecting arm 911 are determined. In this invention, both the main rotating joint and the main telescopic joint are fixed on the connecting arm 911. Therefore, any displacement of the connecting arm 911 will drive the main manipulator 9 to move as a whole. The specific horizontal displacement direction needs to be determined according to the initial position of the drill rod, the position to be transported, and the initial position of the main manipulator 9 under actual conditions. That is to say, the track in the sliding joint of this invention can be set in any direction to ensure that the main manipulator 9 can effectively complete the gripping process.
[0177] Furthermore, as mentioned in Embodiment 3, the main telescopic joint is suspended at one end of the main rotation shaft 905, meaning the connecting arm 911 also needs to support the main manipulator 9. Therefore, according to the lever principle, without interfering with the normal extension and retraction of the main telescopic joint, the connecting arm 911 and the rotating seat 903 should have sufficient connection area, and the distance between the connecting arm 911 and the main telescopic joint should be minimized as much as possible to ensure sufficient connection strength between the two and avoid damage to the main rotation shaft 905 due to excessive suspension weight of the main telescopic joint. Similarly, the rotating seat 903 should also have sufficient coverage area for the main rotation shaft 905, distributing the weight of the main telescopic joint and the main gripper assembly to every part of the rotating seat 903 through the transmission shaft, and then transmitting it as a whole to the fixed seat 901 via the connecting arm 911.
[0178] Furthermore, the sliding joint also includes a sliding cylinder 912, one end of which is fixed to the fixed base 901, and the other end is connected to the connecting arm 911, so that the connecting arm 911 slides along the track. This invention uses the sliding cylinder 912 to intelligently control the relative displacement between the connecting arm 911 and the fixed base 901, allowing the main robot arm 9 to stop at a set position and perform a grasping action. The displacement of the sliding cylinder 912 represents the distance that the connecting arm 911 and the fixed base 901 can move relative to each other, and this distance should be less than the limit displacement between the connecting arm 911 and the fixed base 901 to prevent collisions between them.
[0179] Example 4
[0180] Please see again Figures 2 to 4As shown, in the secondary manipulator 6, the lifting joint and the secondary rotary joint are connected by a crossbeam 603. The lifting joint is connected to the lower part of the crossbeam 603, and the secondary rotary joint is connected to the side of the crossbeam 603.
[0181] The lifting joint includes a lifting cylinder 601 and a lifting outer cylinder 602 connected to each other. The lifting outer cylinder 602 is sleeved and installed with the lifting inner cylinder below the crossbeam 603. The lifting outer cylinder 602 and the lifting inner cylinder form a lifting pair. The lifting cylinder 601 drives the lifting pair to perform lifting movements.
[0182] The secondary rotary joint includes a secondary rotary actuator 604 connected to the crossbeam 603 and a secondary rotary shaft 605 connected to the secondary rotary actuator 604. The secondary rotary shaft 605 rotates under the drive of the secondary rotary actuator 604. The end of the secondary rotary shaft 605 away from the crossbeam 603 is connected to the secondary telescopic joint. The rotation of the secondary rotary shaft 605 drives the secondary telescopic joint and the secondary gripper 609 to swing.
[0183] The secondary telescopic joint includes a secondary telescopic cylinder 606 connected to the secondary rotating shaft 605. A secondary outer cylinder 607 and a secondary inner cylinder 608 are connected below the secondary telescopic cylinder 606. The secondary inner cylinder 608 is inserted into the secondary outer cylinder 607 to form a telescopic joint, which performs telescopic movement under the drive of the secondary telescopic cylinder 606.
[0184] The auxiliary rotating shaft 605 is installed in the inner cavity of the crossbeam 603. The inner cavity of the crossbeam 603 is provided with an arc groove. The outer side of the auxiliary rotating shaft 605 is provided with a protrusion. When the auxiliary rotating shaft 605 rotates, the protrusion slides circumferentially in the arc groove to limit the rotation of the auxiliary rotating shaft 605.
[0185] The secondary gripper 609 is connected to a secondary clamping cylinder 610 on the side near the telescopic unit. Driven by the secondary clamping cylinder 610, the secondary gripper 609 clamps or releases.
[0186] This invention enables the auxiliary manipulator 6 to swing in the vertical plane by setting a secondary rotary joint with a limited angle. This allows the manipulator to transport drill pipe over components such as the attitude adjustment device, thereby allowing the transfer unit to be positioned on the opposite side of the attitude adjustment device from the drill pipe box. This improvement significantly enhances the flexibility of drill pipe delivery system layout for full-face drilling, enabling the drilling rig to adapt to more complex downhole environments and drilling requirements.
[0187] Example 5
[0188] Please see again Figures 5 to 9As shown, the attitude adjustment device includes an azimuth rotator 701, a rotatable platform 702, a lower anchoring assembly 703, a lifting column 704, a lifting sleeve 705, a lifting cylinder 706, an upper anchoring seat 707, an upper anchoring assembly 708, a transfer device rotator 709, an inclination rotator 710, a rotatable transition plate 712, and a frame connecting plate 713.
[0189] The rotary platform 702 comprises:
[0190] Rotary plate 70201: As the main structure, it has an interface on the left side for connecting to the drill rod box in the drilling rig.
[0191] Lower anchor mounting plate 70202: Located on the right side, used for installing the lower anchor assembly (703).
[0192] Ear seat 70203: Also located on the right side, used to fix the lifting cylinder 706 (see Figure 5 ).
[0193] The lower anchoring assembly 703 consists of a hydraulic cylinder and a stabilizing component. The hydraulic cylinder is responsible for lifting the device from the muddy ground underground, and the stabilizing component is connected to the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder via a ball joint hinge, which can adjust the support angle to adapt to ground conditions and ensure the stability of the bottom of the device.
[0194] Lifting column 704: Two lifting columns are fixed to the top of the lower anchoring component 703 and are vertically set on both sides of the frame tilt angle rotation axis, serving as guide rails for the up and down movement of the lifting sleeve 705.
[0195] Lifting sleeve 705: A cavity is formed by two side plates 70501 and a top sealing plate, housing a lifting cylinder 706. One end of the lifting cylinder 706 is connected to the lifting sleeve via a pin, and the other end is fixed to a lug 70203, driving the lifting sleeve to move up and down along the lifting column. Sleeves 70502, slidingly fitted onto the lifting column on both sides of the lifting sleeve, serve as guides. A connecting cylinder 70503 is located on the side facing the frame, and the connecting cylinder is equipped with a flange for installing a rotary transition plate 712 (see...). Figure 8 ).
[0196] Upper anchoring seat 707: Installed on the lifting column, including a fixing cylinder 70702 sleeved on the lifting column, and a column head 70701 fixedly installed on the outside of the fixing cylinder 70702 for connecting the upper anchoring assembly 708 (see...). Figure 9 ).
[0197] Upper anchoring assembly 708: Composed of a hydraulic cylinder and a stabilizing component. The stabilizing component is hinged to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder via a ball joint, pressing against the top of the tunnel, and adapting to the top angle through the ball joint to ensure the stability of the top of the device.
[0198] Rotary transition plate 712: A disc-shaped part, the rotary transition plate 712 is a disc-shaped part with three sets of flanges arranged from the inside to the outside, namely the first transition plate flange, the second transition plate flange, and the third transition plate flange. The inner first transition plate flange matches the flange of the connecting cylinder 70503 and fixes itself to the lifting sleeve 705; the two outer flanges are used to install the transfer device rotary device 709 and the frame connecting plate 713, respectively.
[0199] Specifically, the transferor rotary 709 is installed on the side of the rotary transition plate 712 near the lifting sleeve 705 and is connected to the third transition plate flange, while the frame connecting plate 713 is installed on the side of the rotary transition plate 712 away from the lifting sleeve 705 and is connected to the second transition plate flange.
[0200] Rotary transducer 709: Rotary transducer 709 is a drive element used to adjust the drill pipe transducer (the drill pipe transducer is mounted on top of rotary transducer 709).
[0201] The fixed ring (preferably the outer ring in this application) of the rotary transferor 709 is bolted to the third transition plate flange of the rotary transition plate 712, thereby indirectly fixing it to the lifting sleeve. Preferably, the inner ring is a rotating ring and is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the rotary transferor 709. The drill pipe transferor is fixedly installed on the top of the outer shell of the rotary transferor 709, allowing the tilt angle to be adjusted as the outer shell rotates. The rotary transferor 709 is preferably a worm gear reducer.
[0202] Frame connecting plate 713: a disc-shaped part equipped with two sets of flanges, one set connecting to the rotary transition plate and the other set connecting to the tilt swivel 710.
[0203] Inclined rotator 710: Also a worm gear rotary reducer, preferably with the fixed ring as the outer ring, connected to one set of flange bolts on the frame connecting plate 713, thereby indirectly fixed to the lifting sleeve 705; the rotating ring is the inner ring, and is fixedly connected to the frame 11 to drive the frame 11 to rotate circumferentially. Specifically, the frame 11 is arranged on the side of the inclined rotator 710 away from the lifting sleeve 705, and is arranged in a side-mounted form.
[0204] The working principles of the transferor rotary 709 and the tilt rotary 710 in this embodiment are as follows:
[0205] The fixed ring of the rotary transferor 709 is bolted to the third transition plate flange of the rotary transition plate 712, thereby indirectly fixing it to the lifting sleeve. The rotating ring of the rotary transferor 709 is fixedly connected to the drill pipe transferor to adjust the inclination angle of the drill pipe transferor.
[0206] The frame connecting plate 713 is fixedly installed on the rotary transition plate 712, thereby indirectly fixed to the lifting sleeve. The rotating ring of the tilting rotator 710 is connected to the frame 11, and the fixing ring of the tilting rotator 710 is fixedly installed on the frame connecting plate 713, thereby indirectly fixed to the lifting sleeve.
[0207] Therefore, the fixed rings of the transferor rotary 709 and the tilt angle rotary 710 are both fixedly installed on the lifting sleeve 705, while the rotating rings respectively carry the drill pipe transferor and the frame, and are not restricted by the lifting sleeve to rotate, and can rotate independently and freely, thus forming an asynchronous rotating transpose that drives the frame and the drill pipe transferor to adjust their tilt angles separately, thereby allowing the tilt angles of the frame and the drill pipe transferor to be adjusted independently.
[0208] Through two disc-shaped transition parts, the rotary transition plate and the frame connecting plate, the rotary 709 and the tilt 710 that drive the drill rod transfer device and the frame tilt rotation are respectively fixed on the same side of the lifting sleeve. In the narrow space between the frame and the lifting sleeve, the tilt angle of the drill rod transfer device can be adjusted independently of the frame, so that the tilt angle of the drill rod transfer device (i.e. the drill rod to be transported) can be adjusted within a wide range along with the frame, which helps to expand the drilling tilt angle range of the automatic drilling machine to the entire circumference.
[0209] In operation, the transferor rotator 709 and the tilt rotator 710 can be independently controlled by their respective motors (or hydraulic motors). The operator can adjust the tilt angle of the drill pipe transferor or the tilt angle of the frame 11 individually according to drilling requirements. For example, when adjusting the angle of the drill pipe transferor, only the transferor rotator 709 needs to be activated, while the angle of the frame 11 remains unchanged; conversely, the angle can be adjusted as needed. This asynchronous adjustment design improves the flexibility of the drilling rig. Alternatively, the transferor rotator 709 and the tilt rotator 710 can be activated simultaneously to synchronously adjust the tilt angle of the drill pipe transferor and the tilt angle of the frame 11, making them the same or different tilt angles.
[0210] The operation process of this attitude adjustment device is as follows:
[0211] 1. Positioning: Transport the drilling rig mobile platform to the drilling site.
[0212] 2. Bottom Anchoring: Extend the hydraulic cylinder of the lower anchoring assembly 703 to bring the stabilizing member into contact with the ground and adjust the angle, lift the device and provide stable support.
[0213] 3. Top anchoring: Extend the hydraulic cylinder of the upper anchoring assembly 708 to make the stabilizing member press against the top of the tunnel, forming a four-corner anchoring.
[0214] 4. Azimuth adjustment: Rotate the rotary platform 702 by rotating the azimuth rotary head 701 to set the horizontal direction of the borehole.
[0215] 5. Height adjustment: Start the lifting cylinder 706 to drive the lifting sleeve 705 to move up and down along the lifting column 704 to adjust the drilling height.
[0216] 6. Frame tilt adjustment: Rotate the tilt rotator 710 to set the frame tilt angle within the range of 0 to ±180°.
[0217] 7. Transfer device tilt angle adjustment: Independently rotate the transfer device 709 to align the tilt angle of the drill pipe transfer device to ensure smooth drill pipe delivery.
[0218] This embodiment integrates anchoring and attitude adjustment into one unit, and uses a vertical frame connecting plate to side-mount the frame, enabling the frame tilt angle adjustment range to reach the full cross-section (0 to ±180°), effectively solving the problem of limited tilt angle in traditional drilling rigs. Simultaneously, the side-mounted installation effectively reduces the frame axis height, thus reducing the opening height and enhancing the range of motion of the drill rod conveying robot. Furthermore, the four-corner anchoring structure (upper and lower anchoring components) ensures the stability of the device under various postures, improving the safety and efficiency of the drilling process. Moreover, the fixed rings of the transferor rotator 709 and the tilt angle rotator 710 are both fixedly mounted on the lifting sleeve 705, while their respective rotating rings support the transferor 8 and the frame 11, and are not restricted by the lifting sleeve 705, allowing independent and free rotation. This forms an asynchronous rotation device that independently adjusts the tilt angles of the frame 11 and the transferor 8.
[0219] Furthermore, the mobile platform 1 is also provided with two upper anchoring components arranged at the end of the drill rod box 5 away from the frame 11. The two upper anchoring components on the mobile platform 1 and the lower anchoring components and upper anchoring components in the attitude adjustment device 7 together form an anchoring system, which further enhances the stability of the drilling rig during drilling.
[0220] Example 6
[0221] This embodiment demonstrates a simplified attitude adjustment device. Compared to Embodiment 5, it eliminates the rotary transition plate 712 and the frame connecting plate 713, reducing complexity by directly installing the rotating device while retaining all functions. The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates this simplified approach. Figures 5 to 8 )illustrate.
[0222] Similar to Embodiment 5, the rotary platform 702 is connected to the mobile platform via the azimuth rotator 701 and is equipped with a lower anchoring component 703, a lifting column 704, a lifting sleeve 705, a lifting cylinder 706, an upper anchoring seat 707, and an upper anchoring component 708. The layout is the same, and the specific configuration is described in Embodiment 5.
[0223] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the transferor rotary 709 is directly installed on the connecting cylinder 70503 of the lifting sleeve 705. The fixed ring (outer ring) is connected to the connecting cylinder, and the rotating ring (inner ring) is connected to the drill pipe transferor, which is used to adjust the inclination angle of the transferor.
[0224] Inclination rotator 710: Installed on the transferor rotator 709, the fixed ring (outer ring) is connected to the fixed ring of the transferor rotator, and the rotating ring (inner ring) is fixed to the frame, used to adjust the tilt angle of the frame.
[0225] Features: This stacked design integrates the rotating mechanism directly into the lifting sleeve, simplifying the connection structure.
[0226] This embodiment reduces the number of parts and manufacturing complexity by omitting the rotary transition plate 712 and the frame connecting plate 713, thereby lowering costs, while retaining the full-section tilt angle adjustment range (0 to ±180°) and a lower opening height. The four-corner anchoring design still ensures the stability of the device in various positions, making it suitable for complex downhole environments.
[0227] Alternatively, another method can be used:
[0228] Installation of the tilt slewing mechanism 710:
[0229] A mounting base is welded onto the connecting cylinder 70503 of the lifting sleeve 705, and the fixing ring of the tilting rotator 710 is directly fixed to the mounting base by bolts. The rotating ring of the tilting rotator 710 is connected to the frame 11, and the tilting angle of the frame 11 is adjusted by a motor.
[0230] Installation of the transfer rotary 709:
[0231] The fixed ring of the rotary transferor 709 is bolted to the fixed ring of the tilting rotary transferor 710. The rotating ring is connected to the drill pipe transferor, and the tilting angle of the drill pipe transferor is adjusted by a motor drive.
[0232] In both alternative structures described above, the transferor rotator 709 and the tilt rotator 710 remain located on the same side of the lifting sleeve 705 and can be operated independently. Operators can adjust the tilt angle of the drill pipe transferor and the frame 11 separately by controlling their respective motors, achieving asynchronous adjustment. This design simplifies the structure while maintaining functional flexibility, making it suitable for different drilling rig configurations.
[0233] In another embodiment, the transferor rotator 709 or the tilt rotator 710 is directly mounted on the lifting sleeve 705, that is, the rotatable transition plate 712, the frame connecting plate 713 and the lifting sleeve 705 are manufactured as a single unit.
[0234] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this technical solution, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
