[0022] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, terms such as "setup," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The first embodiment of this application discloses a drill pipe transfer robot, including a first boom 100, a second boom 200, a third boom 300 and a fourth boom 400 connected in sequence, and a first drive member 110 for driving the first boom 100, a second drive member 210 for driving the second boom 200, a third drive member 310 for driving the third boom 300 and a fourth drive member 410 for driving the fourth boom 400.

[0024] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the first boom 100 is rotatably mounted on the top support column 510, and the first drive member 110 is mounted on the first boom 100 and is connected to the top support column 510 in a transmission manner. The first drive member 110 drives the first boom 100 to rotate around the top support column 510. The second boom 200 is hinged to the first boom 100. The two ends of the second drive member 210 are respectively hinged to the first boom 100 and the second boom 200. The second drive member 210 drives the second boom 200 to rotate around the hinge point with the first boom 100. The third boom 300 is hinged to the second boom 200. The two ends of the third drive member 310 are respectively hinged to the first boom 100 and the third boom 300. The third drive member 310 drives the third boom 300 to rotate around the hinge point with the second boom 200. The fourth boom 400 is axially rotatably mounted on the third boom 300. The fourth boom 400 is provided with a clamping structure 440 for clamping the drill pipe. The fourth drive member 410 is mounted on the third boom 300 and connected to the fourth boom 400. The fourth drive member 410 drives the fourth boom 400 to rotate axially.

[0025] The first end of the second boom 200 is connected to the first boom 100 by a pin, and the third boom 300 is connected to the second end of the second boom 200 by a pin.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the second drive component 210 and / or the third drive component 310 are telescopic cylinders, and the first drive component 110 and / or the fourth drive component 410 are rotary cylinders. Specifically, the second drive component 210 and the third drive component 310 are both linear telescopic cylinders, which have a simple structure and low failure rate; the first drive component 110 and the fourth drive component 410 are both rotary cylinders, which have a large rotation range, can reduce the overall size of the robot, increase the rotation range of the robot, reduce the blind spot, and improve the reversing control efficiency. This makes the robot of this embodiment suitable for small mines and other places with limited construction space, and improves the automation level of drilling rigs in the operation of connecting and unloading drill rods in such small mines.

[0027] In some specific embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the first boom 100 includes a connecting hole 111, with the top support column passing through the connecting hole 111. The first drive member 110 is connected to the top support column 510 via gear transmission. A gear pair 511 is mounted on the outer surface of the top support column 510. The housing of the first drive member 110 is fixedly connected to the first boom 100. A gear is mounted on the output end of the first drive member 110, and the gear meshes with the gear pair 511. Thus, when the first drive member 110 drives the gear to rotate, the gear rotates along the gear pair 511, causing the first boom 100 and the structure mounted on the first boom 100 to rotate synchronously.

[0028] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the connection between the first boom 100 and the top support column 510, the first boom 100 is provided with two connection holes 111, which are spaced apart vertically, and the top support column 510 passes through both connection holes 111 simultaneously. To reduce wear on the top support column 510 and the first boom 100, a copper sleeve is installed on the side wall of the connection hole 111, and the top support column 510 passes through the copper sleeve; the copper sleeve can be a split copper sleeve to facilitate disassembly and assembly and reduce maintenance costs.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, the fourth drive member 410 is connected to the fourth boom 400 via a connecting shaft 420. Specifically, refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the first end of the connecting shaft 420 is connected to the output end of the fourth drive component 410 via a key drive, and the second end of the connecting shaft 420 is connected to the fourth boom 400 via an anti-torsion pin 424. The housing of the fourth drive component 410 is connected to the third boom 300 via bolts or other fasteners. The output end of the fourth drive component 410 is inserted into the first end of the connecting shaft 420, and the key connection method is simple, quick, has good transmission effect, and is low in cost. The anti-torsion pin 424 radially passes through the fourth boom 400 and the second end of the connecting shaft 420, making the connection simple, easy to assemble and disassemble, with good transmission effect and low maintenance cost. Since the fourth boom 400 needs frequent angle adjustments during actual operation, the anti-torsion pin 424 needs to have good anti-torsion performance.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 As shown, the third boom 300 includes a first end plate 401 and a second end plate 402 spaced apart. A connecting shaft 420 passes through the first end plate 401 and the second end plate 402 sequentially. The first end plate 401 has a first hole for the connecting shaft 420 to pass through, and the second end plate 402 has a second hole for the connecting shaft 420 to pass through. To reduce wear on the connecting shaft 420 and the third boom 300, a first bushing 421 is fitted onto the first end of the connecting shaft 420. The first bushing 421 is installed in the first hole, and the first bushing... 421 abuts against the first end plate 401; the second end of the connecting shaft 420 is fitted with a second bushing 422, which is installed in the second hole and abuts against the second end plate 402; a combined split copper sleeve 430 is fitted in the middle of the connecting shaft 420, and the two ends of the combined split copper sleeve 430 abut against the first bushing 421 and the second bushing 422 respectively, so as to prevent the first bushing 421 and the second bushing 422 from falling off and to improve the stability of the first bushing 421 and the second bushing 422.

[0031] The bushing installed in the middle of the connecting shaft 420 is designed as a modular split bushing for easy disassembly and assembly, reducing maintenance costs. To ensure the stability of the modular split bushing, refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the combined split copper sleeve 430 is connected to the connecting shaft 420 by a pin 431, and the pin 431 passes radially through the combined split copper sleeve 430 and the connecting shaft 420.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, a pressure cap nut 423 is also connected to the first end of the connecting shaft 420. The pressure cap nut 423 is installed on the portion of the first end of the connecting shaft 420 that passes through the first end plate 401. The pressure cap nut 423 is used to connect the third boom 300 and the connecting shaft 420, but the connecting shaft 420 can still rotate relative to the third boom 300 around its own axis. In the embodiments of this application, the fourth drive component 410 is directly connected to the fourth boom 400 through the connecting shaft 420. The connection method is compact, which can reduce the size of the equipment. At the same time, the transmission effect is good, which can reduce the energy loss during the transmission process. The rotary cylinder used in the fourth drive component 410 can increase the rotation range of the fourth boom 400.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the fourth boom 400 is provided with a first clamping surface 403, the clamping structure 440 is hinged to the fourth boom 400, and is provided with a second clamping surface 441. The second clamping surface 441 is correspondingly provided with the first clamping surface 403, and the first clamping surface 403 and the second clamping surface 441 cooperate to clamp the drill rod; the second clamping surface 441 moves closer to the first clamping surface 403 to clamp the drill rod, and the second clamping surface 441 moves away from the first clamping surface 403 to release the drill rod. In order to improve the clamping effect on the drill rod, it is preferable that both the first clamping surface 403 and the second clamping surface 441 are provided with clamping grooves.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the drill pipe transfer manipulator further includes a fifth drive member 450, the two ends of which are connected to the fourth boom 400 and the clamping structure 440, respectively. The fifth drive member 450 drives the clamping structure 440 to rotate about the hinge point with the fourth boom 400, so that the second clamping surface 441 moves relative to the first clamping surface 403, thereby releasing or clamping the drill pipe.

[0035] The drill pipe transfer robot of this embodiment is configured with a first boom 100, a second boom 200, a third boom 300, and a fourth boom 400 connected in sequence, each boom having a range of motion. The fourth boom 400 is provided with a clamping structure 440 for gripping the drill pipe, giving the robot multiple degrees of freedom for adjustment in various directions, enabling it to grasp and transfer the drill pipe. The first drive unit 110 and / or the fourth drive unit 410, by employing a rotary cylinder, can reduce the overall size of the robot, increase its rotation range, reduce blind spots, and improve reversing control efficiency. This makes the robot suitable for small mines with limited construction space, improving the automation of drill pipe handling in such small mines, reducing manual labor, and lowering production safety hazards.

[0036] The drilling rig according to the second aspect of this application, referring to... Figure 5 As shown, the system includes a main unit 500, a drill rod feeding device 600, and the aforementioned drill rod transfer robot. The main unit 500 includes a head 520 and multiple support columns 510, with the head 520 mounted between the support columns 510. The drill rod feeding device 600 is used to transport drill rods. The aforementioned drill rod transfer robot is mounted on one of the support columns 510 of the main unit 500. The drill rod transfer robot picks up drill rods from the drill rod feeding device 600 and transfers them to the head 520. Since the drilling rig uses the aforementioned drill rod transfer robot, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects of a drill rod transfer robot, which will not be elaborated upon here.
