The embodiment of the invention discloses a
communication device and method between a
drill tower and a
manipulator, and the device comprises a first
optical fiber network conversion module which is disposed at a
drill tower side, an electric port of the first
optical fiber network conversion module is connected with a core switch at the
drill tower side, and an optical port of the first
optical fiber network conversion module is connected with an optical
fiber; the first optical
fiber network conversion module is used for receiving a control
electric signal triggered by the core switch, converting the control
electric signal into a control optical
fiber signal and transmitting the control optical fiber
signal to the second optical
fiber network conversion module through an optical fiber; the second optical
fiber network conversion module is arranged on the
manipulator side, an electric port of the second optical
fiber network conversion module is connected with the controller corresponding to the
manipulator, and an optical port of the second optical fiber network conversion module is connected with the optical fiber; the optical fiber receiving module is used for receiving a control optical fiber
signal transmitted by an optical fiber and converting the control optical fiber signal into an
electric signal; the
communication device can fall to the ground through module deployment and simple configuration, full-process accurate conversion of driller instructions from network electric signals to optical fiber signals to network electric signals can be achieved, and the stability and reliability of communication between a drill tower and a mechanical arm are improved.
