Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drilling machine drilling equipment, and relates to a bidirectional buffer head. Background Technology
[0002] Drilling equipment is increasingly moving towards automation and intelligence. Intelligent drilling machines require a fixed, positioned main drill rod. This main drill rod serves as the intermediate device connecting the drilling machine's power unit and the drill rod, transmitting torque and pulling force from the power unit to the drill rod during drilling. Due to its high frequency of use during drilling, the male threaded joint connecting the main drill rod and the drill rod is prone to wear and breakage, making it a consumable part requiring frequent replacement. Existing main drill rods typically employ a fixed structure or have a unidirectional floating buffer position. However, during the disassembly and reassembly of the main drill rod, wear occurs in both directions on the male thread, significantly reducing its lifespan. When the thread is damaged, the entire main drill rod must be replaced, resulting in high drilling machine costs and maintenance expenses. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bidirectional buffer female head to solve the technical problems of wear of male threads, high replacement frequency and high maintenance cost in the bidirectional tightening and loosening process of existing female drill rods.

[0032] This utility model relates to a bidirectional buffer female connector, such as Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a clamping and fixing sleeve 1, a connecting pressure plate 2, a drill rod assembly 3, a forward buffer spring 4, a reverse buffer spring 5, and a bolt 6.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, one end of the clamping and fixing sleeve 1 is provided with a sleeve mechanism 101 connected to the drilling machine fixture, and the other end is provided with an external connecting part. The external connecting part includes an outer ring 102 fixed to one end of the outer rod body. The inner ring of the outer ring 102 is provided with uniformly distributed inner splines 103, the end face of the outer ring 102 is provided with uniformly distributed threaded holes 104, and the end face of the outer ring 102 is provided with a connecting pressure plate positioning connecting mechanism 105.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the connecting pressure plate 2 is provided with an outer rod positioning and connecting mechanism 201 and a connecting bolt hole 202;
[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the drill pipe assembly 3 has a female threaded connector 301 connected to the drill pipe at one end and a male threaded connector 304 connected to the drill pipe at the other end. It has an inner connecting part in the middle, which includes an annular boss 303 fixed in the middle of the inner rod body. The annular boss 303 has uniformly distributed external splines 302 on its outer ring. A positive buffer spring seat 305 is provided on one side of the annular boss 303, and a reverse buffer spring seat 306 is provided on the other side of the annular boss 303. The clamping and fixing sleeve 1 and the drill pipe assembly 3 are connected by splines in the outer connecting part and the inner connecting part, and are fixed and locked by the connecting pressure plate 2.
[0036] This utility model relates to a bidirectional buffer female connector, such as Figure 7 As shown, the arc surface of the drill pipe assembly 3 is provided with an auxiliary structure 7.
[0037] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the auxiliary structure 7 includes a fixed ring 71, a movable ring 73, and a limiting ring 77. The fixed ring 71 is fixedly connected to the drill pipe assembly 3, the movable ring 73 is slidably connected to the drill pipe assembly 3, and the limiting ring 77 is fixedly connected to the drill pipe assembly 3. A limiting spring 72 is provided between the fixed ring 71 and the movable ring 73. The two ends of the limiting spring 72 are fixedly connected to the fixed ring 71 and the movable ring 73, respectively. A limiting cylinder 74 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable ring 73 away from the fixed ring 71. A guide ring 76 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting cylinder 74 away from the movable ring 73. The arc surface of the limiting cylinder 74 is provided with several anti-slip grooves 75. The anti-slip grooves 75 are evenly distributed on the arc surface of the limiting cylinder 74. The anti-slip grooves 75 can increase the friction between the personnel's hands and the limiting cylinder 74, and can prevent the personnel from slipping during the movement of the limiting cylinder 74. A protective pad 78 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting ring 77 near the moving ring 73. The protective pad 78 abuts against the moving ring 73.

[0038] The clamping sleeve 1 is fixedly clamped in the middle of the drilling machine fixture, transmitting forward and reverse torque and pushing and pulling force. The clamping sleeve 1 and the left end face of the drill rod assembly 3 are equipped with evenly distributed positive buffer springs 4 to buffer and reduce wear when the mother drill rod is screwed. The right end face of the drill rod assembly 3 and the connecting pressure plate 2 are equipped with evenly distributed reverse buffer springs 5. The entire mother drill rod is fixed and pressed by bolts 6 to buffer and reduce wear when the mother drill rod is unscrewed. Through the positive spring buffer structure, the wear of the entire mother drill rod is reduced, the service life of the mother drill rod is increased, the replacement frequency of the mother drill rod is reduced, and the overall maintenance cost of the drilling machine is saved.
[0039] In addition, when personnel need to install the drill bit on the male threaded connector 304, they can first move the drill bit so that it slides into the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 74. At this time, the limiting cylinder 74 will limit the drill bit, so that the drill rod assembly 3 and the drill bit are on the same horizontal line, which makes it convenient for personnel to connect and install the drill bit with the male threaded connector 304. When personnel need to check the damage of the male threaded connector 304, they can first use the moving ring 73 to move the moving ring 73 towards the fixed ring 71. The anti-slip groove 75 opened on the arc surface of the limiting cylinder 74 can increase the friction between the personnel's hands and the limiting cylinder 74, which can prevent the personnel from slipping during the movement of the limiting cylinder 74, until the male threaded connector 304 completely slides out of the interior of the limiting cylinder 74. The protective pad 78 on the side of the limiting ring 77 near the moving ring 73 can protect the moving ring 73 and the limiting ring 77, and can prevent the moving ring 73 from directly contacting the limiting ring 77.
