Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel drilling technology, and in particular to a mast for a tunnel drilling rig. Background Technology

[0002] Fully hydraulic tunnel drilling rigs are core equipment for deep-hole drilling in mine roadways and tunnels, and are widely used in disaster prevention, advanced geological forecasting, and gas extraction. Although underground drilling has advantages over surface drilling, such as avoiding goaf areas and reducing the amount of work, existing equipment still has significant shortcomings under challenging geological conditions.

[0003] The masts used in current tunnel drilling rigs employ a top rod structure at the front end to support the tunnel roof. However, when drilling through high-hardness rock formations or fractured zones, the intense vibrations transmitted by the drill rod can easily cause the top rod to slip off, leading to displacement of the entire machine or even borehole deviation and scrapping. At the same time, the rigid contact between the top rod and the roof generates high-frequency impact noise, which deteriorates the working environment.

[0004] Furthermore, current tunnel drilling rigs use fixed-structure pulleys to guide the wire rope on the mast. Due to the axial misalignment between the hydraulic winch drum and the overhead crane pulley, the wire rope often rubs against the pulley edge at a large angle during drum rope laying, resulting in severe uneven wear. Frequent pulley replacements not only increase maintenance costs but may also lead to core sampling failure due to wire rope slippage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a mast for tunnel drilling rigs that is firmly fixed, produces less noise, reduces the need for steel wire ropes, and extends the service life of pulleys, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0016] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can be further achieved through the following steps, wherein the positioning groove is specifically a V-shaped groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The specific technical solutions of this utility model are further described below to enable those skilled in the art to further understand this utility model, without constituting a limitation on its rights.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-5A mast for a tunnel drilling rig includes a mast body 1, an anchoring assembly for enhancing drilling stability is installed at the front section of the mast body 1, and a guiding assembly for enhancing core sampling stability is installed at the rear section of the mast body 1.

[0027] The anchoring assembly includes a connecting seat I2 fixedly installed at the front end of the mast body 1, a connecting shaft I3 transversely passing through the connecting seat I2, and a ground anchor 4 installed at the front of the connecting seat I2 and capable of swinging up and down around the connecting shaft I3. The ground anchor 4 is symmetrically provided with positioning holes 5 for external anchor rods to pass through.

[0028] During drilling, the ground anchor 4 is engaged on the surface to be drilled, and the anchor rod is driven into the positioning hole 5, which can completely anchor the mast body 1 to the surface to be drilled. Compared with the telescopic top rod structure of the existing technology, it can effectively eliminate the risk of machine displacement and borehole deviation caused by vibration of the drilling rig, while reducing the high-frequency noise generated by the rigid collision of the top rod.

[0029] The guiding assembly includes a connecting seat II6 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mast body 1, a connecting shaft II7 longitudinally passing through the connecting seat II6, a slewing joint 8 installed at the bottom of the connecting seat II6 and capable of swinging left and right around the connecting shaft II7, two side plates 9 fixedly installed on the slewing joint 8 and arranged opposite each other, a wheel axle 10 transversely passing through the two side plates 9, and a pulley 11 rotatably mounted on the wheel axle 10 between the two side plates 9 via bearings. The outer circumferential surface of the pulley 11 is provided with a positioning groove 12 that cooperates with an external steel wire rope. Specifically, the positioning groove 12 is a V-shaped groove.

[0030] During coring, the wire rope is released by a hydraulic winch, guided by pulley 11 and the overhead crane, and then connected to the bottom coring device. When the wire rope is subjected to lateral load due to the deflection angle of the drum, drill rod vibration, or rock resistance, the pulley 11 is adaptively deflected with the slewing joint 8 to ensure that the rope is at the center line of the bottom of the V-groove, thereby eliminating the deformation of the telescopic frame due to excessive lateral force and reducing the probability of wire rope wear.

[0031] Specifically, the ground anchor 4 includes an outer frame and an inner support. The outer frame includes an installation plate 13 connected to the connecting seat I2. Support plates 14 extend horizontally from the upper and lower edges of the installation plate 13, forming a U-shaped structure with the installation plate 13 and the two support plates 14. The inner support includes multiple reinforcing ribs 15 staggered in the opening of the U-shaped structure, and each reinforcing rib 15 is fixedly connected to the installation plate 13. The positioning holes 5 are symmetrically opened on the installation plate 13.

[0032] In the above structure, the end of the support plate 14 furthest from the mast body 1 is provided with anti-slip teeth 16 for abutting against the inner wall of the tunnel. A secondary support seat 17 is fixedly installed on the bottom front surface of the mast body 1, and a pipe clamp 18 that cooperates with the external secondary support is fixedly fitted onto one end of the secondary support seat 17. The external secondary support can be any pipe-like object fixed to the drilled surface. By setting the anti-slip teeth 16 and the secondary support seat 17, the stability during deep hole drilling is further enhanced, and the drilling quality is improved.

[0033] Specifically, a downward-facing moving groove is provided on the top surface of the mast body 1. Positioning rods 19 are transversely inserted through both ends of the mast body 1 at the front and rear ends of the moving groove. A drive cylinder 20 is installed between the two positioning rods 19. The piston rod of the drive cylinder 20 is hinged to the two positioning rods 19 respectively, and the cylinder barrel of the drive cylinder 20 is connected to an external power head for drive. The drive cylinder 20 achieves reciprocating drilling of the power head by applying hydraulic pressure. The drive cylinder 20 uses a two-stage equal thrust cylinder, ensuring that the feed force and lifting force of the tunnel drilling rig are equal, thus guaranteeing the drilling and extraction capabilities of the tunnel drilling rig.

[0034] Specifically, a baffle plate 21 is fixedly covered at the opening of the moving trough. By sealing the moving trough with the baffle plate 21, the mud liquid particles are prevented from directly washing and damaging the cylinder rod, thus protecting the cylinder as much as possible and extending its service life.

[0035] In the above structure, the moving rails are specifically two V-shaped slide rails 22 fixedly welded to the top of the mast body 1. The open ends of the two V-shaped slide rails 22 are arranged opposite each other, and the baffle plate 21 is arranged between the two V-shaped slide rails 22. The V-shaped slide rails 22 enable higher guiding accuracy when the power head slides forward and backward. Even if wear causes gaps, the V-shaped slide rails 22 can compensate in time, ensuring the stability of the drilling rig during tunnel drilling.

[0036] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
