  • the present invention relates to a method to control a horizontal drilling machine, the one Drilling lance drives over a drill pipe, the Drilling lance an asymmetrically beveled hollow drill head having nozzles for a rinsing liquid, and at which the boring head during the feed movement smooth rotation almost straight and without Rotation on a cam track moves, their orientation by the set roll angle of the drilling lance given is.
  • the present invention relates to Horizontal drilling processes, such as those from H.-J. Bayer, "Principles of Controllable Horizontal Rinse Drilling", 3R international, vol. 30 (1991), No. 9, pp. 511-517.
  • a rinsing liquid such as, for example, is sprayed through nozzles Bentonite is pumped with the help of a piece screwed drill pipe at an angle into the ground pressed.
  • Bentonite is pumped with the help of a piece screwed drill pipe at an angle into the ground pressed.
  • the drill guide receives his Information about the current position and location of the Drilling head from corresponding measuring sensors on the drilling head.
  • Horizontal drilling rigs have a robust one for this high-resolution sensors that constantly provide orientation the drill head with respect to a fixed coordinate system by measuring roll angle, azimuth and Inclination of the drill head measures. From the current The length of the drill string can be linked with the previous changes in the angle of the drill head also the current Cartesian position of the Determine the drill head.
  • the drilling head can also the load moment of the Drill pipe as well as the pressure of a flushed Drilling fluid can be detected by sensors.
  • the movement behavior of the drill head is very complex and strongly depends on the current environment of the drill head, in particular the consistency, the structure and the degree of compaction of the soil material. Because of this complexity, a high drilling quality requires a high degree of skill from the drill operator. In this case, drilling quality is to be understood as the most exact adherence to the specified drilling course while avoiding collisions. If necessary, the drill operator must derive a correction of the feed rate, the rotation or the angle of rotation from the respective current orientation and position values transmitted by the sensors, and must take into account the current behavior of the drill head in his corrections. The correct operation of such a horizontal drilling machine therefore requires long training and a lot of experience with regard to the different underground behavior of the drilling machine.
  • a horizontal drilling machine is known from EP 0 598 139 A1 known that after a completely different Principle under completely different tax conditions is working. Unlike the horizontal drilling rigs, to which the present invention relates the drill head of the drilling rig of this publication Cut up that according to a conventional one Drilling process is rotated. The entire linkage of this Drilling device is constructed in a straight line, with a target drilling direction is specified via a laser beam. The drilling process can essentially be done with this drill done only in a straight line in one direction. A slight deviation from that caused by the laser beam given direction is using a fuzzy controller corrected. A tax opportunity for the There is no drilling on a cam track. The simpler form of movement as well as the completely different Movement dynamics of the drill with the document the associated much easier controllability compared to one type of horizontal drilling rig, to which the present invention relates rule it out that this document to the solution contributes to the above problem.
  • WO 97/31175 A relates to a pile driver for a Mole that was driven into the ground via a hammer mill becomes.
  • the drive head of the device is neither bevelled on one side and still rotating. The procedure to control this device can therefore not Contribute to solving the above problem.
  • the object of the present invention is therein, a method for controlling a horizontal drilling machine to indicate with a bevelled drill head that without the intervention of an experienced drill operator Drilling head automatically as precisely as possible on a preprogrammed Holds course and the target point independently of fluctuations in soil consistency as accurately as possible reached.
  • the drilling process should continue as possible take little time.
  • the drilling lance having an asymmetrically chamfered hollow drilling head with nozzles for a flushing liquid, in which the drilling head moves approximately linearly and without rotation on a curved path during the feed movement with uniform rotation moved, the orientation of which is given by the set rolling angle ⁇ xL of the drilling lance, actual values of control variables of the horizontal drilling machine are first measured, which include at least the rolling angle ⁇ xL , the inclination ⁇ yL and the azimuth ⁇ zL of the drilling lance.
  • Control signals for controlling at least the feed rate of the drill string and the angular position ⁇ x1 of a rotary motor for the drill string are determined from the actual values of the controlled variables and setpoints for the controlled variables, taking into account heuristic process values, using fuzzy logic, and the horizontal drilling machine is controlled with the control signals.
  • the controller for the horizontal drilling machine has an input interface for receiving actual values of controlled variables of the horizontal drilling machine.
  • control variables can be the roll angle, inclination and azimuth of the drill head as well as the current position of the drill head determined from these variables and the propulsion.
  • an output unit is provided which outputs the control signals for controlling the horizontal drilling machine.
  • the fuzzy controller is located between the input interface and the output unit. It determines the control signals from the actual values and the target values for the controlled variables by means of fuzzy logic, taking heuristic process values into account.
  • the heuristic process values are based, for example, on the experience of a long-time drill operator and contain an engineering description of the movement behavior of the drill head through blurred "if - then" relations to link the actual and target values with the corresponding control signals. This makes it possible to convert know-how gained over many years in the manual control of boring heads into an automatic control. This is particularly advantageous in the case of the control of the present horizontal drilling rigs, because the behavior of the drilling head largely eludes a physical - analytical description by means of dynamic models due to the various influence options.
  • the actual values of the controlled variables are measured by sensors that are attached to the drill head or the drill lance. Additional sensors can be provided, for example, on the drill pipe for determining the propulsion and the angle of rotation or the rotational speed of the pipe.
  • the process for controlling the horizontal drilling machine enables the drilling process to be carried out automatically with a high degree of accuracy.
  • the drill head can be kept very tight on the pre-programmed course regardless of fluctuations in soil properties.
  • the control thus enables the drilling process to be carried out independently of the use of an experienced drill guide. This eliminates fatigue-related fluctuations in the drilling speed and drilling accuracy, so that the drilling process can be completed in a shorter time.
  • the performance of the control system has already been demonstrated in test drilling.
  • the actual value itself is not subjected to the fuzzy control, but rather the difference between the actual value and the target value.
  • an optimization tool is used which is based on a neural network (NN).
  • NN neural network

  • the NN controller model is now trained with representative training trajectories, for example with the target trajectory, until the model-actual trajectory can no longer be improved with respect to a selectable quality index.
  • the optimized fuzzy parameters are now loaded into the controller hardware. Then the automatic mode, i.e. the automatic control of the horizontal drilling machine, can begin.
  • the control for the horizontal drilling rig is preferably by a digital signal processor (DSP) implemented in which the fuzzy controller is implemented is.

  • the drill pipe 2 can be rotated about its longitudinal axis and, on the other hand, can be advanced in a translatory manner. These two degrees of freedom can be controlled independently of each other and allow targeted control of the drilling operation along a specified target route.
  • the drilling lance 1 has an asymmetrically shaped drilling tip, which is constructed like an asymmetrical wedge. In this way, the drilling process can be influenced in a targeted manner.
  • the outlet nozzles for the drilling fluid for example bentonite, can be arranged asymmetrically on the drilling lance, so that an asymmetrical solution of the soil is made possible directly in front of the drilling lance.

  • the The current circular path of the drilling process depends on the first Approximation only from the set fixed Roll angle of the drilling lance 1, which is a very important one Represents process variable.
  • the control room of the drilling lance is in Figure 2 spatially for all possible roll angles shown. Mathematically this results in a torus with an inner radius of approximately 0 and one Outside radius of the order of 10 to 160 m lies. This outer radius depends on the soil physical parameters, the material of the Drill pipe, the mechanical form of the drilling lance and the set drilling process parameters on Horizontal drilling machine.
  • the Oil flow for the hydraulics is centralized Pressure pump generated.
  • the oil flow for the individual Hydraulic circuits is also using proportional valves electrical control electronics by means of mechanical Electrically operated lever.
