Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of engineering geological exploration equipment, specifically a folding drill rod transport device for engineering exploration drilling rigs and an engineering exploration drilling rig. Background Technology
[0002] Engineering geological exploration refers to the exploration method that uses drilling machinery or manual tunneling to directly reveal the engineering geological conditions within the layout range and influence depth of buildings, providing accurate engineering geological profiles for engineering design; in engineering geological exploration, the engineering exploration drilling rig is the core equipment.
[0003] Because exploratory boreholes are generally shallow and require a small number of drill pipes, they are currently typically transported directly on the drilling rig chassis along with the rig to improve relocation efficiency. However, this practice results in a large overall width of the drilling rig chassis, making it impassable in municipal, civil construction, and other confined construction sites, severely impacting the drilling rig's adaptability to various working conditions. Transporting the drill pipes separately, on the other hand, would lead to longer relocation times and increased labor intensity for workers.
[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems need to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model addresses the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a folding drill rod transport device and a drilling rig for engineering exploration. The device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can provide stable support when transporting drill rods and can be quickly folded when passing through narrow spaces, significantly reducing the overall width of the machine.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A folding drill rod transport device for engineering exploration drilling rigs includes a connecting beam, a bottom beam, a vertical beam, a support beam, and a locking component;
[0008] The connecting beam is fixedly connected to the drilling rig. One end of the bottom beam is hinged to the connecting beam via a first pivot pin. The vertical beam can be detachably mounted on the bottom beam. One end of the support beam is hinged to the bottom beam via a second pivot pin, and the other end is hinged to the drilling rig via a third pivot pin.
[0009] When the device is in the unfolded state, the locking member locks the vertical beam onto the bottom beam to clamp the drill rod; and when the device is in the folded state, it locks the support beam onto the connecting beam to maintain the folded state.
[0010] This drilling rig utilizes a folding drill rod transport device, which features two different states: unfolded and folded, via a vertical beam, a bottom beam, and a support beam. In the unfolded state, it can clamp and transport drill rods. When navigating narrow spaces, the drill rods and vertical beam can be detached, and the bottom and support beams can be folded and brought as close to the drilling rig as possible. The support beam is then locked to the connecting beam to maintain the folded state. The device boasts a simple structure and convenient operation; it provides stable support during drill rod transport and folds quickly when passing through narrow spaces, significantly reducing the overall width for easier passage.
[0011] In a further optimized design, the vertical beam is locked by inserting the locking member into the corresponding first connecting hole on both the vertical beam and the bottom beam. In the unfolded state, the locking structure, where the locking member is inserted into the first connecting hole, is convenient to operate and easy to install and remove.
[0012] In a further optimized design, the connecting beam and the support beam are provided with a second connecting hole for the locking member to be inserted. When the device is folded, the locking member is inserted into the second connecting hole to lock the support beam onto the connecting beam to maintain the folded state.
[0013] In the folded state, the locking mechanism that allows the locking element to be inserted into the second connecting hole is easy to operate, and also easy to install and remove.
[0014] A further optimized design incorporates a U-shaped locking mechanism. The U-shaped locking mechanism has a simple structure, making it easy to manufacture and use.
[0015] A further optimized design involves inserting the vertical beam upside down into a storage hole inside the bottom beam when the device is folded. In the folded state, the vertical beam is fixed within the storage hole of the bottom beam, preventing the loss of parts.
[0016] In a further optimized design, the connecting beam, bottom beam, and vertical beam together form a U-shaped groove structure to accommodate and restrict the movement of the drill pipe.
[0017] A further optimized design incorporates a triangular support structure formed by the connecting beam, bottom beam, and support beam when the device is deployed. This triangular support structure is stable and can reliably withstand the load of the drill rod during transportation.
[0018] A survey drilling rig includes the aforementioned folding drill rod transport device for survey drilling rigs, which has at least two sets arranged side by side on one side of the drilling rig.
[0019] In a further optimized design, the device is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the drilling rig.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the folding drill rod transport device for engineering exploration drilling rigs of this utility model has the following technical advantages:
[0021] 1. Excellent maneuverability in narrow spaces: The unique folding structure significantly reduces the overall width of the machine when transporting drill pipes, greatly improving the drilling rig's maneuverability and adaptability in narrow construction sites and roads.
[0022] 2. Easy to operate: The unfolding and folding process can be completed with a few simple rotations and plugs, without the need for complicated tools. The conversion is quick and saves transfer time.
[0023] 3. Stable structure: When deployed, the support beams are connected to the drilling rig at multiple points, forming a stable triangular support structure that can reliably withstand the load of the drill rod during transportation.
[0024] 4. Reasonable storage: When folded, all parts fit snugly against the drilling rig, with a compact structure. Small parts such as the vertical beam have fixed positions, preventing parts from being lost. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a specific embodiment of a folding drill rod transport device for engineering exploration drilling rigs; for example... Figures 7 to 12 As shown, application Figure 1 The drilling rig used in this embodiment.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the folding drill rod transport device for the engineering exploration drilling rig in this embodiment includes a connecting beam 1, a bottom beam 2, a vertical beam 3, a support beam 4, and a locking component 5; the connecting beam 1 is fixedly connected to the drilling rig (e.g., Figure 7 As shown), one end of the bottom beam 2 is hinged to the connecting beam 1 via the first pivot pin 6, and the vertical beam 3 can be detachably mounted on the bottom beam 2; one end of the support beam 4 is hinged to the bottom beam 2 via the second pivot pin 7, and the other end is hinged to the drilling rig via the third pivot pin 8 (as shown). Figure 7 (As shown).
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the device is in the unfolded state, the locking member 5 locks the vertical beam 3 onto the bottom beam 2 to clamp the drill rod; and when the device is in the folded state, it locks the support beam 4 onto the connecting beam 1 to maintain the folded state.
[0042] This drilling rig uses a folding drill rod transport device, which can be deployed in two different states: unfolded and folded, via a vertical beam 3, a bottom beam 2, and a support beam 4. In the unfolded state, the drill rod can be clamped and transported. When navigating narrow spaces, the drill rod and vertical beam 3 can be removed, and the bottom beam 2 and support beam 4 can be folded and brought as close as possible to the drilling rig. The support beam 4 is then locked to the connecting beam 1 to maintain the folded state. The device features a simple structure and convenient operation; it provides stable support during drill rod transport and folds quickly when passing through narrow spaces, significantly reducing the overall width of the machine for easier passage.
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the vertical beam 3 is locked by inserting the locking member 5 into the corresponding first connecting hole 9 on the vertical beam 3 and the bottom beam 2. In the unfolded state, the locking structure of the locking member 5 inserted into the first connecting hole 9 is convenient to operate and easy to install and disassemble.
[0044] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting beam 1 and the support beam 4 are provided with a second connecting hole 10 for the locking member 5 to be inserted. When the device is folded, the locking member 5 is inserted into the second connecting hole 10 to lock the support beam 4 onto the connecting beam 1 to maintain the folded state.
[0045] In the folded state, the locking mechanism of the locking member 5 inserted into the second connecting hole 10 is easy to operate, and also easy to install and disassemble.
[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking element 5 is a U-shaped clip. The U-shaped clip locking element 5 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture and use.
[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, in the folded state, the vertical beam 3 is inverted and inserted into the storage hole 2a inside the bottom beam 2. In the folded state, the vertical beam 3 is fixed within the storage hole 2a of the bottom beam 2, preventing the loss of parts.
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting beam 1, the bottom beam 2, and the vertical beam 3 together form a U-shaped groove structure for accommodating and restricting the movement of the drill pipe.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, when the device is deployed, connecting beam 1, bottom beam 2, and support beam 4 form a triangular support structure. This triangular support structure is stable and can reliably withstand the load of the drill rod during transportation.
[0050] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, this utility model also discloses a survey drilling rig, including the above-mentioned folding drill rod transport device for survey drilling rig, which has two sets arranged side by side on one side of the drilling rig; the device is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the drilling rig.
[0051] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the equipment in the drilling rig is in a folded state. At this time, the width of the rig frame is about the same as the width of the bottom tracks, which allows it to pass through narrow spaces smoothly.
[0052] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the drill rod transport devices on both sides of the drilling rig are filled with drill rods. The U-shaped clamp locks the vertical beam 3 to clamp the drill rods. Due to the clamping force and the friction generated by their own weight, the drill rods will not move relative to each other. At this time, the width of the crawler at the bottom of the drilling rig is 1.0m and the width of the chassis is 1.6m, which can meet the transportation needs of most construction sites.
[0053] When encountering narrow spaces (width between 1.0m and 1.6m), temporarily remove the drill rods one by one, remove the U-shaped clips, take off the vertical beam 3, remove the third pivot pin 8, rotate the support beam 4 around the second pivot pin 7 until it fits against the bottom beam 2, then rotate the support beam 4 and the bottom beam 2 together around the first pivot pin 6 until they fit against the connecting beam 1. Then insert the U-shaped clips into the second connecting hole 10 between the support beam 4 and the connecting beam 1 to restrict the movement of the support beam 4 and the bottom beam 2, and insert the vertical beam 3 upside down into the storage hole 2a inside the bottom beam 2 to complete the folding of the entire drill rod transport device. At this time, the width of the whole machine is only 1.0m, which can pass smoothly through narrow spaces.
[0054] After the drilling rig passes through the narrow space, first remove the vertical beam 3, pull out the U-shaped clamp, rotate the support beam 4 and the bottom beam 2 around the first pivot pin 6 to a horizontal position, then rotate the bottom beam 2 and the second pivot pin 7 until the third pivot pin 8 is aligned with the pin hole on the drilling rig, insert the third pivot pin 8, insert the short side of the vertical beam 3 into the bottom beam 2, and then insert the U-shaped clamp into the corresponding first connecting hole 9 on the vertical beam 3 and the bottom beam 2 to complete the deployment of the entire drill pipe transport device. Place the drill pipes back into the drill pipe transport device in sequence and continue to transfer them to the destination.
[0055] The folding drill rod transport device and the drilling rig itself are simple in structure and easy to operate. They can provide stable support when transporting drill rods and can be quickly folded when passing through narrow spaces, significantly reducing the overall width of the machine.
[0056] In summary, as described in the specification and figures, this utility model has been manufactured into actual samples and subjected to multiple use tests. The test results demonstrate that this utility model achieves its intended purpose, and its practicality is beyond doubt. The embodiments described above are merely for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
