- each partitioned accommodation portion 150 in which the detonator dynamite attachments 5 can be accommodated may be increased or decreased depending on the number of blast hole groups belonging to each delay interval set to the tunnel face 2.
- the detonator dynamite attachment 5 in each partitioned accommodation portion 150 is accommodated in a state in which the tip 5A side is located on the front surface 101 side and the rear end 5B side is located on the rear surface 102 side.
- each partitioned accommodation portion 150 is set to a dimension corresponding approximately to the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 51 in the detonator dynamite attachment 5 (or may be a slightly larger dimension than the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 51). Therefore, in each partitioned accommodation portion 150, the plurality of detonator dynamite attachments 5 are accommodated in a state of being aligned in multiple stages in the up-down direction.
- the plurality of detonator dynamite attachments 5 accommodated in each partitioned accommodation portion 150 are referred to as the lowermost stage (first stage) of detonator dynamite attachment 5, the second stage of detonator dynamite attachment 5, ..., and the uppermost stage of detonator dynamite attachment 5, respectively, in this order from a position closer to the bottom surface 105 (bottom wall 130).
- the rear wall 110 of the detonator dynamite accommodation unit 100 covers the rear surface 102 while retaining a lower region in the rear surface 102 as an opening. Therefore, in the lower region of the rear surface 102 in each partitioned accommodation portion 150, a "rod insertion port 106" is formed as an opening.
- the rod insertion port 106 is an opening for inserting, into the partitioned accommodation portion 150, the loading rod 8 that is driven forward along the initiating explosive loading direction X by the loading rod feeding mechanism 80 illustrated in Fig. 6 .
- the height dimension of the rod insertion port 106 has a dimension larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 51 and smaller than twice the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 51 in the detonator dynamite attachment 5.
- a stopper plate 160 that partially covers the front surface 101 is provided in the front surface 101 of the detonator dynamite accommodation unit 100. As illustrated in Figs. 9 and 12 , the stopper plate 160 is attached to the front end of the partition wall 140 of each of the plurality of partitioned accommodation portions 150.
- the partition wall 140 in each partitioned accommodation portion 150 is arranged so that a discharge port 107 is formed in a lower region of the front surface 101 in each partitioned accommodation portion 150.
- the discharge port 107 is an opening for discharging to outside the lowermost stage (first stage) of detonator dynamite attachment 5 that is accommodated in each partitioned accommodation portion 150, and corresponds to an initiating explosive discharge port.
- each partitioned accommodation portion 150 The discharge port 107 formed on the front surface 101 side of each partitioned accommodation portion 150 is arranged to face the rod insertion port 106 formed on the rear surface 102 side. Similar to the rod insertion port 106, the height dimension of the discharge port 107 in each partitioned accommodation portion 150 also has a dimension larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 51 and smaller than twice the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 51 in the detonator dynamite attachment 5. Therefore, each partitioned accommodation portion 150 can discharge only the lowermost stage (first stage) of detonator dynamite attachment 5 to the outside via the discharge port 107.
- the detonator dynamite attachments 5 located in the second stage to the uppermost stage in each partitioned accommodation portion 150 are prevented by the stopper plate 160 from being discharged to the outside from the front surface 101.
- the lateral width dimension of the stopper plate 160 has a smaller dimension than the lateral width dimension of each partitioned accommodation portion 150. Therefore, a leg wire drawing opening 108 is formed on the side portion of (beside) the stopper plate 160 in each partitioned accommodation portion 150, and the leg wire 42 of the detonator dynamite attachment 5 can be drawn to the outside via the leg wire drawing opening 108.
- Fig. 9 illustrates the leg wires 42 of only some of the detonator dynamite attachments 5 accommodated in the detonator dynamite accommodation unit 100 for convenience of drawing.
- a press mechanism 170 is installed, which presses the detonator dynamite attachments 5 accommodated in each partitioned accommodation portion 150 toward the lower side (bottom surface 105).
- a specific configuration of the press mechanism 170 is not limited to a particular configuration, but for example, the press mechanism 170 may include a pressing plate 171 having an oblong shape, and a torsion spring 172 interposed between the pressing plate 171 and the rear wall 110.
- Reference symbol 171A illustrated in Fig. 11 denotes a rotary shaft portion provided on the proximal end side of the pressing plate 171.
- each pressing plate 171 may be supported on the partition wall 140 or the side wall 120.
- the pressing plate 171 is urged in a direction A illustrated in Fig. 11 by an elastic force of the torsion spring 172. Therefore, the detonator dynamite attachments 5 accommodated in each partitioned accommodation portion 150 can be always pressed toward the lower side (bottom surface 105) by the pressing plate 171 of the press mechanism 170. This enables the lowermost stage (first stage) of detonator dynamite attachment 5 to be always pressed toward the bottom surface 105 (bottom wall 130) even when the posture of the detonator dynamite accommodation unit 100 is tilted when the explosive loading boom 13 and the guide cell 20 are driven.

Description
- The present invention relates to an explosive loading method of loading an initiating explosive to a blast hole bored in a tunnel face in a tunnel constructed by a blasting method, and an initiating explosive attachment.
- A blasting method is known as a tunnel excavation method. When a tunnel is excavated by the blasting method, explosives to which detonators are attached are inserted into a plurality of blast holes (explosive-loading holes) bored in a tunnel face of the tunnel, and the explosives are blasted by detonating the detonators to excavate the tunnel face.
- Conventionally, it has been common for workers to manually load explosives into blast holes at a tunnel site constructed by the blasting method. This loading work involves pushing the explosives into the blast holes sequentially using a long rod, which requires very hard labor.
- Therefore, there has been proposed a technique in which a detonator dynamite for initiation and an additional dynamite (extra dynamite) for increasing blasting power at the time of blasting are loaded into a blast hole from a position apart from the tunnel face using a hose and a pipe (for example, see
Patent documents 1 to 3, etc.). This type of explosive loading technique is also called machine loading (remote loading), or the like. In such machine loading, a worker aboard a cage of a drill jumbo inserts a tip of a loading pipe into a blast hole bored in the tunnel face, pressure-feeds compressed air from a loader provided at a proximal end of a hose coupled to the loading pipe toward the tip of the loading pipe, and loads a detonator dynamite and an additional dynamite together with the compressed air into an explosive-loading hole using the loading pipe, for example. - There is also proposed an explosive autoloading device that automatically loads explosives into blast holes to improve the safety when the explosives are loaded into the blast holes and to achieve labor saving. For example,
Patent document 4 discloses an explosive autoloading apparatus comprising a cage, a loading pipe that is provided on the cage to be movable forward and backward in an explosive loading direction, a detonator dynamite feeding mechanism that is provided on the cage and in front of the loading pipe and is capable of feeding a detonator dynamite coaxially with the loading pipe, a loading hose that is connected in communication with the rear of the loading pipe, and an explosive loading mechanism that is coupled to the loading hose and causes an additional dynamite to pass through interiors of the loading hose and the loading pipe to pressure-feed the additional dynamite, so that the detonator dynamite can be inserted into a tip of the loading pipe. According to the description ofPatent document 4, the loading pipe is moved in the loading direction in the state in which the detonator dynamite is fed to the tip of the loading pipe, so that the tip reaches an innermost portion of a blast hole, and then the additional dynamite is fed from the rear of the loading pipe, and at the same time, the loading pipe is drawn from the blast hole, whereby the detonator dynamite and the additional dynamite can be loaded into the blast hole. -

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-25972 - However, in the above-described machine loading technique for an explosive, it is not easy to insert, into a blast hole, a hose, a pipe, and the like for loading explosives from a position apart from the tunnel face, and therefore, there is room for improvement in working efficiency. In the automatic loading technique for explosive disclosed in
Patent document 4, there is disclosed that the loading pipe is positioned to face the blast hole bored in the tunnel face, but the case is assumed where the loading pipe is actually arranged with the eccentricity between the axes of the blast hole and the loading pipe, which may make it difficult to smoothly insert the loading pipe into the blast hole. - The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and therefore has an object to provide an explosive loading method capable of smoothly loading an initiating explosive into a blast hole bored in a tunnel face in a tunnel blasting method.
- To solve the above problem, the present invention employed the following means. That is, the present invention provides an explosive loading method that is applied to a tunnel blasting method and loads an initiating explosive into a blast hole bored in a tunnel face, the method comprising a holding step of holding an initiating explosive attachment by a loading rod by inserting a tip of the loading rod into a hollow portion of the initiating explosive attachment to which the initiating explosive is attached so that the hollow portion remains on an inner side of a rear end of a cylindrical holding body, and an initiating explosive loading step of loading, into the blast hole, the initiating explosive attachment held at the tip of the loading rod, wherein a front end of the cylindrical holding body in the initiating explosive attachment is provided with a conical guide portion having a tapered shape toward a tip of the initiating explosive attachment.
- Here, a leg wire extending from a detonator of the initiating explosive attached to the initiating explosive attachment is bundled using a binding material so that a ring-shaped portion is formed in a midway portion of the leg wire, the ring-shaped portion having a larger diameter than a diameter of the blast hole, and in a course of loading the initiating explosive attachment into the blast hole in the initiating explosive loading step, a bundle by the binding material may be unwound by a resistance generated when the ring-shaped portion of the leg wire contacts an edge around an opening of the blast hole in the tunnel face.
- The present invention can be identified as an initiating explosive attachment that is applied to a tunnel blasting method and is loaded into a blast hole bored in a cutting hole. That is, the initiating explosive attachment comprises a cylindrical holding body, an initiating explosive that is attached to an inner side of the cylindrical holding body, a hollow portion that is formed on an inner side of a rear end of the cylindrical holding body, and a conical guide portion that is provided at a front end of the cylindrical holding body and has a tapered shape toward a tip.
- According to the present invention, there can be provided an explosive loading method capable of smoothly loading an initiating explosive into a blast hole bored in a tunnel face in a tunnel blasting method.

Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overall schematic configuration in which anexplosive loading apparatus 1 that loads explosives into a plurality of blast holes (explosive-loading holes) 3 bored in a tunnel face (rock mass) 2 of a tunnel TN according toEmbodiment 1 is mounted on a heavy construction machine. The tunnel TN according toEmbodiment 1 is constructed by a blasting method of inserting an explosive to which a detonator is attached into eachblast hole 3 bored in thetunnel face 2 and blasting the explosive by initiating the detonator to excavate thetunnel face 2. - In
Fig. 1 , theexplosive loading apparatus 1 is mounted on adrill jumbo 10. As illustrated inFig. 1 , in thetunnel face 2, the plurality ofblast holes 3 are bored at a predetermined boring depth. - As illustrated in
Fig. 1 , thedrill jumbo 10 includes aselftraveling carriage 11, aboring boom 12 provided on a front side of thecarriage 11, anexplosive loading boom 13, anoperation seat 14, acontrol device 15, a driving power unit (not illustrated), and the like. Theboring boom 12 and theexplosive loading boom 13 are pivotably coupled to a front end of thecarriage 11, and are movable in an extendable and retractable, tiltable, swingable, or rotatable manner under the operation of a driving mechanism provided to theboring boom 12 and theexplosive loading boom 13. In an example illustrated inFig. 1 , a pair ofexplosive loading booms 13 are provided to thedrill jumbo 10, but the number ofexplosive loading boom 13 is not limited to a particular number. - A rock
mass boring machine 16 is pivotably supported by theboring boom 12. As the rockmass boring machine 16, a known machine is adopted, which bores theblast holes 3 in the tunnel face 2 (rock mass) by the hammering motion and the rotation action of an excavating drill, for example. -
Fig. 2 is a front view illustrating an arrangement example of the plurality ofblast holes 3 formed in thetunnel face 2. In the present embodiment, a delay blasting method is used for excavating thetunnel face 2. The delay blasting method is a method of setting a plurality of regions to be blasted in thetunnel face 2 and providing a time lag in initiation timing of a detonator for initiating an explosive for each of the plurality of set regions to be blasted to perform the blasting. -
Reference symbols # 1 to #10 illustrated inFig. 2 each indicate a delay number (corresponding to the blast holes 3) to which the plurality ofblast holes 3 belong. In the present embodiment, a plurality of regions to be blasted are set in thetunnel face 2, and delay numbers are assigned (set) to correspond to the respective regions to be blasted. In an example illustrated inFig. 2 ,10 types of regions to be blasted are set in thetunnel face 2, and a firstdelay interval # 1 to tenthdelay interval # 10 are assigned to the respective regions to be blasted. Note that, inFig. 2 , each blast hole group that includesblast holes 3 belonging to the same delay number is indicated by connecting groups of the blast holes by broken lines, the blast holes 3 being close to each other, in order to make it easy to understand the distribution ofdelay intervals # 1 to #10 in thetunnel face 2. Note that the arrangement pattern and the delay numbers of the blast holes 3 illustrated inFig. 2 , and the number ofblast holes 3 belonging to each delay interval are not limited to particular ones. -
Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating the situation after an explosive is loaded into theblast hole 3 bored in thetunnel face 2.Fig. 3 illustrates a longitudinal sectional view along a boring direction (axial direction) of theblast hole 3. Although details will be described later, in the present embodiment, explosives are loaded into the blast holes 3 not manually but automatically using theexplosive loading apparatus 1. - In
Fig. 3 ,reference symbol 3A denotes an innermost portion of theblast hole 3, andreference symbol 3B denotes an opening of theblast hole 3.Reference symbol 5 denotes a detonator dynamite attachment in which a detonator dynamite with a detonator is attached, the detonator dynamite being an initiating explosive.Reference symbol 6 denotes an additional dynamite which is an additional explosive for increasing blasting power at the time of blasting. Theadditional dynamite 6 is not limited to a particular type, and, for example, a particulate explosive, or a bulk-type explosive can be suitably used. However, theadditional dynamite 6 is not limited to a particulate explosive or a bulk-type explosive, and a cartridge-type explosive may be also employed. In the present embodiment, the particulate explosive is employed by way of example. -
Fig. 4 is a side view of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5.FIG. 5 is an exploded view of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5. Thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 has an internally hollow cylindrical (tubular)member 51 and aconical guide portion 52 connected and attached to a front end 51a side of thecylindrical member 51, and thedetonator dynamite 4 is accommodated in thecylindrical member 51. In the present embodiment, thecylindrical member 51 of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 is a paper tube having a cylindrical shape, and theconical guide portion 52 of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 is also made of paper. However, thecylindrical member 51 and theconical guide portion 52 in thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 are not limited to paper, and various materials may be used therefor. Theconical guide portion 52 has a cone shape, and is attached to thefront end 51A of thecylindrical member 51 coaxially with thecylindrical member 51. Note thatreference symbol 5A denotes a tip of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5. Thetip 5A of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 is formed by an apex on the tip side of theconical guide portion 52.Reference symbol 5B denotes a rear end of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5, the rear end being formed by a rear end of thecylindrical member 51. Thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 configured as described above is set so that an outer diameter of thecylindrical member 51 has a smaller dimension than a diameter of theblast hole 3, which makes it possible to load thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 into theblast hole 3 as illustrated inFig. 3 . - The
detonator dynamite 4 employs a water containing explosive cartridge, for example, and is formed in the form of a packed explosive (cartridge type) which is packed by paper, plastic film or the like. Thedetonator dynamite 4 has adelay detonator 41, and aleg wire 42 is connected to thedelay detonator 41. Thedelay detonator 41 in the present embodiment can employ a detonator with a fuse tube (nonelectric detonator), for example, to prevent static electricity. However, thedelay detonator 41 may be an electric detonator. Note that, when the electric detonator is used for thedelay detonator 41, thecylindrical member 51 and theconical guide portion 52 in thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 are preferably made of paper to prevent static electricity. In thedelay detonator 41, a delay charge is interposed between an ignition charge and an initiating explosive that are accommodated in a case, and the initiation lag time (standard delay time) is set depending on the type of thedelay detonator 41 to reach the initiation after a delay of a predetermined time period after a shock wave for actuation (an operating current when the electric detonator is used) is fed via the leg wire 42 (fuse tube). In thedelay detonator 41, the initiation lag time may be set to an interval of several tenths of a second, for example. Note that thedelay detonator 41 may be, for example, a wireless detonator having an antenna for a wireless initiating detonator (e.g., a receiving coil, etc.) that receives alternating magnetic field energy wirelessly transmitted from an initiation operation device. Such a wireless delay detonator makes it unnecessary to connect theleg wire 42 to thedelay detonator 41. - In the
detonator dynamite attachment 5, for example, a hole from which theleg wire 42 is drawn to the outside is provided in theconical guide portion 52 and theleg wire 42 is drawn to the outside from the drawing hole. The length of thecylindrical member 51 is longer than that of thedetonator dynamite 4, and thedetonator dynamite 4 is attached on thefront end 51A side of thecylindrical member 51 as illustrated inFig. 5 . Therefore, ahollow portion 53 is formed inside thecylindrical member 51 on the rear end 51B side. That is, thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 is attached with thedetonator dynamite 4 so that thehollow portion 53 remains on an inner side of the rear end of thecylindrical member 51.Reference symbol 43 illustrated inFigs. 4 and5 denotes a binding material that binds theleg wire 42. The bindingmaterial 43 binds theleg wire 42 in a midway portion of theleg wire 42 annularly and individually, whereby a ring-shapedportion 42A is formed in the midway portion of theleg wire 42. The bindingmaterial 43 is made of paper, for example, and is formed of an easy-to-break material easily breakable by a small external force, and therefore, the bindingmaterial 43 is configured to be capable of easily unwinding the bundle of theleg wire 42 by the small external force. Note that as illustrated inFig. 3 , in the state after thedetonator dynamite 4 attached to thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 and theadditional dynamite 6 are loaded into theblast hole 3 in thetunnel face 2, the bindingmaterial 43 is broken and a bundle of theleg wire 42 is unwound. As illustrated inFig. 3 , in the state in which the loading of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 into theblast hole 3 has been completed, thetip 5A of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 is located at theinnermost portion 3A of theblast hole 3. - Next, a configuration of the
explosive loading apparatus 1 will be described in detail. Theexplosive loading apparatus 1 is mounted on aguide cell 20 of theexplosive loading boom 13, as illustrated inFig. 1 .Fig. 6 is a schematic side view of theexplosive loading apparatus 1 mounted on theguide cell 20.Fig. 7 is a schematic front view of theexplosive loading apparatus 1 mounted on theguide cell 20.Fig. 6 illustrates a front-rear direction of theguide cell 20. Theexplosive loading boom 13 is provided with the driving mechanism (not illustrated) that drives theguide cell 20, so that theguide cell 20 is movable swingably in the horizontal direction, swingably in the vertical direction, and forward and backward in the front-rear direction under the operation of the driving mechanism. In theguide cell 20 attached to theexplosive loading boom 13, the front portion is located toward thetunnel face 2 side and the rear portion is located toward thecarriage 11 side, when the explosives (thedetonator dynamite 4 and the additional dynamite 6) are autoloaded into theblast hole 3 in thetunnel face 2 using theexplosive loading apparatus 1 mounted on thedrill jumbo 10. - As illustrated in
Figs. 6 and7 , theexplosive loading apparatus 1 includes a detonatordynamite feeding device 70, aloading rod 81, a loadingrod feeding mechanism 80, and the like that are mounted on theguide cell 20. Although details will be described later, the detonator dynamite feeding device 70 (initiating explosive feeding device) includes a detonator dynamite accommodation unit 100 (initiating explosive accommodation unit) that accommodates a plurality ofdetonator dynamite attachments 5, and a detonator dynamite accommodation unit driving mechanism 90 (initiating explosive accommodation unit driving mechanism) that drives the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100. - The loading
rod feeding mechanism 80 is attached with a rear end side of an elongated pipe-shapedloading rod 81 extending in one direction. The loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 holds theloading rod 81 in a posture in which the axial direction of theloading rod 81 is parallel to a direction in which theguide cell 20 extends in a state in which atip 811 of theloading rod 81 is oriented forward of theguide cell 20. An arrow X illustrated inFig. 6 indicates a preset initiating explosive loading direction. In the present embodiment, a center axis C1 of theloading rod 81 is parallel to an initiating explosive loading direction X, and theloading rod 81 is held by the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 to be drivable forward and backward along the initiating explosive loading direction X. Note that the outer diameter of thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 has a slightly smaller dimension than an inner diameter of therear end 5B of the detonator dynamite attachment 5 (cylindrical member 51). Therefore, thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 is inserted into thehollow portion 53 from therear end 5B side of the detonator dynamite attachment 5 (cylindrical member 51), whereby thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 can be held by thetip 811 side of theloading rod 81. - Note that the material forming the
loading rod 81 is not limited to a particular material, but theloading rod 81 is preferably formed of a member such as a synthetic resin having certain degree of rigidity. Theguide cell 20 may be provided with asupport member 21 that does not inhibit forward and backward movement of theloading rod 81 along the initiating explosive loading direction X and supports the posture of theelongated loading rod 81 in parallel with the initiating explosive loading direction X. - The loading
rod feeding mechanism 80 attached to theguide cell 20 is movable forward and backward along the front-rear direction of theguide cell 20. The loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 may be configured by a drifter supported on a top surface of theguide cell 20, for example, and is guided by theguide cell 20, thereby being reciprocatingly movable along the front-rear direction of theguide cell 20. The loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 can move forward and backward in the front-rear direction along the extending direction of theguide cell 20 under the operation of a feeder (not illustrated), for example. The feeder that is a driving source of the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 can be configured by a hydraulic cylinder, or the like, for example, but the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 may be driven by an electric driving source. - As illustrated in
Fig. 6 , theloading rod 81 is of a hollow pipe type in which ahollow passage 812 is formed. The rear end side of theloading rod 81 is connected with a pumpinghose 82 that pressure-feeds the additional dynamite 6 (additional explosive), so that the pumpinghose 82 communicates with thehollow passage 812. The pumpinghose 82 may be formed of a synthetic resin hose, a rubber hose, or the like. -
Fig. 8 is a diagram illustrating an additionalexplosive feeding device 83 that pressure-feeds theadditional dynamite 6 to theloading rod 81 via the pumpinghose 82. The additionalexplosive feeding device 83 is mounted on a load bed or the like of a work vehicle 200 (seeFig. 1 ) arranged with respect to thetunnel face 2, on the rear side of thedrill jumbo 10, for example. However, the additionalexplosive feeding device 83 may be mounted on thedrill jumbo 10 or may be arranged at other locations. The additionalexplosive feeding device 83 includes an air compressor (air pressurefeeding device) 84, ahopper 85 that stores theadditional dynamite 6, achute 86, the pumpinghose 82, anair feeding hose 87, a junction pipe 88, and the like. Thehopper 85 includes atransfer mechanism 89 that can automatically measure theadditional dynamite 6 to be stored to feed a preset amount ofadditional dynamite 6 to thechute 86, for example. As such atransfer mechanism 89, a rotary valve, or the like may be employed, for example. Furthermore, the junction pipe 88 is connected to a lower end of thechute 86, and the pumpinghose 82 is connected to the junction pipe 88. The junction pipe 88 is connected with theair feeding hose 87 extending from theair compressor 84. Therefore, theadditional dynamite 6 transferred from thehopper 85 to thechute 86 under the operation of thetransfer mechanism 89 combines with the compressed air fed from theair compressor 84 via theair feeding hose 87 at the junction pipe 88, and is pressure-fed together with the compressed air toward thehollow passage 812 in theloading rod 81 via the pumpinghose 82. - Next, returning to
Figs. 6 and7 , the detonatordynamite feeding device 70 will be described. As described above, the detonatordynamite feeding device 70 includes the detonator dynamite accommodation unit 100 (initiating explosive accommodation unit), and the detonator dynamite accommodation unit driving mechanism 90 (initiating explosive accommodation unit driving mechanism) for holding and driving the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100. The detonator dynamite accommodationunit driving mechanism 90 includes a fixingportion 91 that is fixed to theguide cell 20, and aslider 92 provided to be interposed between the fixingportion 91 and the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100. - The
slider 92 includes aplacement portion 93 on which the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 can be placed and fixed, and a drivingportion 94 interposed between theplacement portion 93 and the fixingportion 91. In an example illustrated inFigs. 6 and7 , the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is an accommodation box having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. Theplacement portion 93 of theslider 92 is formed of a flat steel plate on which a bottom of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 can be placed and fixed, for example, and holds the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 above theguide cell 20 and in a posture parallel to the top surface of theguide cell 20. Theslider 92 of the detonator dynamite accommodationunit driving mechanism 90 can cause the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 that is held on theplacement portion 93 to reciprocatingly move along a predetermined loading perpendicular direction Y. The loading perpendicular direction Y is a direction perpendicular to the above-described initiating explosive loading direction X, and corresponds to a width direction of theguide cell 20 in this example. The drivingportion 94 of theslider 92 may be a linear motion mechanism including a linear shaft that is provided on one sides of theplacement portion 93 and the fixingportion 91 and extends along the loading perpendicular direction Y, and a linear bush housing unit that is provided on the other sides and accommodates the linear shaft, for example. However, the drivingportion 94 of theslider 92 is not limited to the linear motion mechanism having the above-described configuration. - The detonator dynamite accommodation
unit driving mechanism 90 is controlled by thecontrol device 15 to thereby feed, to a predetermined initiating explosive feeding position located coaxially in front of theloading rod 81, thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 attached with thedetonator dynamite 4 having the initiation lag time corresponding to the delay number of target blast holes which are the blast holes 3 into which the explosives are to be loaded. -
Figs. 9 to 12 each are a diagram illustrating the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100.Fig. 9 is a front view of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100.Fig. 10 is a rear view of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100.Fig. 11 is a side view of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100.Fig. 12 is a top view of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100. The detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is a case having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape whose contour is defined by afront surface 101, arear surface 102, a pair of side surfaces 103, atop surface 104, and abottom surface 105, which accommodates a plurality ofdetonator dynamite attachments 5. A direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is referred to as a width direction. Each direction of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 illustrated inFigs. 9 to 12 represents a relative positional relationship of each element of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100. - The
rear surface 102, the pair of side surfaces 103, and thebottom surface 105 of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 are provided with arear wall 110,side walls 120, and abottom wall 130, respectively. Thetop surface 104 of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is opened. - The interior of the detonator
dynamite accommodation unit 100 is divided into a plurality of partitionedaccommodation portions 150 bypartition walls 140. In the present embodiment, ninepartition walls 140 are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100, and the interior of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is divided into a first partitioned accommodation portion 150 (#1) to a tenth partitioned accommodation portion 150 (#10). Eachpartition wall 140 is arranged in parallel to the side surfaces 103 (side walls 120) and extends from thefront surface 101 to therear surface 102. Eachpartition wall 140 is arranged at constant intervals in the width direction of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100. As a result, the width dimensions of the partitionedaccommodation portions 150 are equal to each other. As illustrated inFigs. 6 and7 , the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is installed on theplacement portion 93 of theslider 92 in a posture in which the front-rear direction thereof is parallel to the initiating explosive loading direction X and the width dimension is parallel to the loading perpendicular direction Y. As described above, eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 in the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is arranged side by side along the loading perpendicular direction Y. That is, the front-rear direction of each partitionedaccommodation portion 150 in the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is parallel to the loading perpendicular direction Y and the center axis C1 of theloading rod 81. - The plurality of partitioned accommodation portions 150 (#1 to #10) in the detonator
dynamite accommodation unit 100 are configured to be capable of accommodating thedetonator dynamite attachments 5 attached with the detonator dynamites 4 sorted so that therespective delay detonators 41 have different initiation lag times from each other. Each of the partitionedaccommodation portions 150 is configured to be capable of accommodating a plurality of initiating explosives having the same initiation lag time. In the delay blasting method according to the present embodiment, the firstdelay interval # 1 to the tenthdelay interval # 10 are assigned to the respective regions to be blasted set in thetunnel face 2, as illustrated inFig. 2 . Here, when the blast holes 3 belonging to (corresponding to) the firstdelay interval # 1 to the tenthdelay interval # 10 are defined as first delay blast holes 3 (#1) to tenth delay blast holes 3 (#10), respectively, first detonator dynamite attachments 5 (#1) to tenth detonator dynamite attachments 5 (#10) attached with the detonator dynamites 4 having the initiation lag times corresponding to thedelay number # 1 to #10 are loaded into the first delay blast holes 3 (#1) to the tenth delay blast holes 3 (#10). In the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100, the first detonator dynamite attachments 5 (#1) to the tenth detonator dynamite attachments 5 (#10) into which thedetonator dynamite attachments 5 are sorted are accommodated in the first partitioned accommodation portion 150 (#1) to the tenth partitioned accommodation portion 150 (#10), respectively. The number ofdetonator dynamite attachments 5 capable of being accommodated in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 is not limited to a particular number, but, for example, about fivedetonator dynamite attachments 5 can be accommodated in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150. As a matter of course, the capacity of each partitionedaccommodation portion 150 in which thedetonator dynamite attachments 5 can be accommodated may be increased or decreased depending on the number of blast hole groups belonging to each delay interval set to thetunnel face 2. As apparent fromFigs. 11 and12 , thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 is accommodated in a state in which thetip 5A side is located on thefront surface 101 side and therear end 5B side is located on therear surface 102 side. - Here, the width dimension of each partitioned
accommodation portion 150 is set to a dimension corresponding approximately to the outer diameter of thecylindrical member 51 in the detonator dynamite attachment 5 (or may be a slightly larger dimension than the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 51). Therefore, in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150, the plurality ofdetonator dynamite attachments 5 are accommodated in a state of being aligned in multiple stages in the up-down direction. Hereinafter, the plurality ofdetonator dynamite attachments 5 accommodated in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 are referred to as the lowermost stage (first stage) ofdetonator dynamite attachment 5, the second stage ofdetonator dynamite attachment 5, ..., and the uppermost stage ofdetonator dynamite attachment 5, respectively, in this order from a position closer to the bottom surface 105 (bottom wall 130). - The
rear wall 110 of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 covers therear surface 102 while retaining a lower region in therear surface 102 as an opening. Therefore, in the lower region of therear surface 102 in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150, a "rod insertion port 106" is formed as an opening. Therod insertion port 106 is an opening for inserting, into the partitionedaccommodation portion 150, theloading rod 8 that is driven forward along the initiating explosive loading direction X by the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 illustrated inFig. 6 . The height dimension of therod insertion port 106 has a dimension larger than the outer diameter of thecylindrical member 51 and smaller than twice the outer diameter of thecylindrical member 51 in thedetonator dynamite attachment 5. - A
stopper plate 160 that partially covers thefront surface 101 is provided in thefront surface 101 of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100. As illustrated inFigs. 9 and12 , thestopper plate 160 is attached to the front end of thepartition wall 140 of each of the plurality of partitionedaccommodation portions 150. Thepartition wall 140 in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 is arranged so that adischarge port 107 is formed in a lower region of thefront surface 101 in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150. Thedischarge port 107 is an opening for discharging to outside the lowermost stage (first stage) ofdetonator dynamite attachment 5 that is accommodated in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150, and corresponds to an initiating explosive discharge port. Thedischarge port 107 formed on thefront surface 101 side of each partitionedaccommodation portion 150 is arranged to face therod insertion port 106 formed on therear surface 102 side. Similar to therod insertion port 106, the height dimension of thedischarge port 107 in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 also has a dimension larger than the outer diameter of thecylindrical member 51 and smaller than twice the outer diameter of thecylindrical member 51 in thedetonator dynamite attachment 5. Therefore, eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 can discharge only the lowermost stage (first stage) ofdetonator dynamite attachment 5 to the outside via thedischarge port 107. - The
detonator dynamite attachments 5 located in the second stage to the uppermost stage in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 are prevented by thestopper plate 160 from being discharged to the outside from thefront surface 101. Here, the lateral width dimension of thestopper plate 160 has a smaller dimension than the lateral width dimension of each partitionedaccommodation portion 150. Therefore, a legwire drawing opening 108 is formed on the side portion of (beside) thestopper plate 160 in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150, and theleg wire 42 of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 can be drawn to the outside via the legwire drawing opening 108. Note thatFig. 9 illustrates theleg wires 42 of only some of thedetonator dynamite attachments 5 accommodated in the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 for convenience of drawing. - Furthermore, in each
partitioned accommodation portion 150 of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100, apress mechanism 170 is installed, which presses thedetonator dynamite attachments 5 accommodated in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 toward the lower side (bottom surface 105). A specific configuration of thepress mechanism 170 is not limited to a particular configuration, but for example, thepress mechanism 170 may include apressing plate 171 having an oblong shape, and atorsion spring 172 interposed between thepressing plate 171 and therear wall 110.Reference symbol 171A illustrated inFig. 11 denotes a rotary shaft portion provided on the proximal end side of thepressing plate 171. Therotary shaft portion 171A of eachpressing plate 171 may be supported on thepartition wall 140 or theside wall 120. Thepressing plate 171 is urged in a direction A illustrated inFig. 11 by an elastic force of thetorsion spring 172. Therefore, thedetonator dynamite attachments 5 accommodated in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 can be always pressed toward the lower side (bottom surface 105) by thepressing plate 171 of thepress mechanism 170. This enables the lowermost stage (first stage) ofdetonator dynamite attachment 5 to be always pressed toward the bottom surface 105 (bottom wall 130) even when the posture of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is tilted when theexplosive loading boom 13 and theguide cell 20 are driven. - An explosive loading system S including the
explosive loading apparatus 1 configured as described above is applied to the delay blasting method of performing the blasting with a time lag for each of a plurality of regions to be blasted assigned to thetunnel face 2 of the tunnel TN, and theexplosive loading apparatus 1 is used to perform the explosive autoloading control of automatically loading explosives into the plurality ofblast holes 3 bored in thetunnel face 2. The explosive loading system S in the present embodiment includes the above-described drill jumbo 10, the additionalexplosive feeding device 83, and thecontrol device 15, and thecontrol device 15 controls theexplosive loading apparatus 1 and the additionalexplosive feeding device 83 to thereby perform the explosive autoloading control. - Hereinafter, the detail of the explosive autoloading control executed by the
control device 15 will be described.Fig. 13 is a diagram illustrating various devices mounted in theoperation seat 14. Theoperation seat 14 is provided with a monitor (display device) 210, thecontrol device 15, and an input device (aremote switch 231 for loading, acontrol panel 232, akeyboard 233, apointing device 234, etc.) to thecontrol device 15. In thedrill jumbo 10, the worker can manually operate theboring boom 12, theexplosive loading boom 13, theguide cell 20, theexplosive loading apparatus 1, the additionalexplosive feeding device 83, etc. in thedrill jumbo 10 using various devices of the input device. In the explosive autoloading control, thecontrol device 15 controls theexplosive loading boom 13, theguide cell 20, theexplosive loading apparatus 1, and the like to thereby enable automatic or semi-automatic loading of thedetonator dynamite 4 and theadditional dynamite 6 into the blast holes 3 bored in thetunnel face 2. Thecontrol device 15 is, but is not limited to, for example, a computer provided with an input unit, a processing unit, and an output unit, and the like. The processing unit of thecontrol device 15 can be configured to include a processor for executing various programs, various programs necessary for the operation of the processor, a main memory (memory unit) that stores various information, and the like. - Hereinafter, the work procedure of the explosive autoloading control executed by the
control device 15 of the explosive autoloading system S will be described.Fig. 14 is a diagram illustrating a procedure flow of the explosive autoloading control executed by thecontrol device 15 of the explosive autoloading system S. First, as illustrated inFig. 1 , thecarriage 11 of thedrill jumbo 10 travels and moves to near thetunnel face 2 planned to be blasted, and a plurality ofblast holes boring boom 12 and the rockmass boring machine 16 at boring planned positions in thetunnel face 2 according to the blasting pattern (step S1). When the blast holes 3 are bored by the rockmass boring machine 16 of thedrill jumbo 10, thecontrol device 15 associates hole numbers with all the blast holes 3. Then, thecontrol device 15 causes the main memory to store, for each of the hole numbers of the blast holes 3, blast hole information that associates blast hole position information including three-dimensional coordinate values of a first coordinate P1 (X1, Y1, Z1) of anopening 3B corresponding to the hole number and a second coordinate P2 (X2, Y2, Z2) of aninnermost portion 3A corresponding to the hole number, with blast hole delay number information about a delay number for theblast hole 3 corresponding to the hole number (storage step). Note that thedrill jumbo 10 may be a full auto drill jumbo (also referred to as a "computer drill jumbo"), and the blast holes 3 may be bored at the boring planned positions in thetunnel face 2 sequentially by automatically controlling theboring boom 12 and the rockmass boring machine 16 on the basis of boring planned position information of the blast holes 3 stored in the main memory of thecontrol device 10. In the example illustrated inFig. 2 , in thetunnel face 2, the firstdelay interval # 1 to the tenthdelay interval # 10 are assigned to the respective regions to be blasted, and in step S1, the first delay blast holes 3 (#1) to the tenth delay blast holes (#10) each including one or a plurality of blast hole group is bored with respect to the firstdelay interval # 1 to the tenthdelay interval # 10 in thetunnel face 2. The detonator dynamites 4 for which the initiation lag times are set in association with the respective delay numbers are inserted into the first delay blast holes 3 (#1) to the tenth delay blast holes 3 (#10). - Next, the
explosive loading boom 13 is arranged near thetunnel face 2 in which the blast holes 3 are bored, under the operation via the input device (e.g., the control panel 232). As illustrated inFig. 1 , thework vehicle 200 is arranged behind thedrill jumbo 10, and a predetermined amount ofadditional dynamite 6 is loaded into thehopper 85 in the additionalexplosive feeding device 83. - Next, in step S2, by computer control of the
control device 15, with reference to the blast hole position information including the three-dimensional coordinate values of a first coordinate P1 (X1, Y1, Z1) and a second coordinate P2 (X2, Y2, Z2) of theblast hole 3 corresponding to the preset hole number, theexplosive loading boom 13 and theguide cell 20 of thedrill jumbo 10 are automatically driven, and theloading rod 81 is positioned so that the tip of the loading rod coaxially faces a loadingtarget blast hole 3TGT into which explosives (thedetonator dynamite 4, the additional dynamite 6) are to be loaded this time among the blast holes 3 bored at a plurality of positions in the tunnel face 2 (rod positioning step). As described above, when the blast holes 3 are bored in thetunnel face 2 by the rockmass boring machine 16 of thedrill jumbo 10, thecontrol device 15 causes the main memory to store, for each of the hole numbers of the blast holes 3, the blast hole position information that associates a first coordinate P1 (X1, Y1, Z1) of anopening 3B and a second coordinate P2 (X2, Y2, Z2) of aninnermost portion 3A in theblast hole 3, with the hole number, and the blast hole delay number information about the delay number of theblast hole 3 corresponding to the hole number, the blast hole position information being associated with the blast hole delay number information. Therefore, thecontrol device 15 refers to the blast hole position information, and reads the first coordinate P1 (X1, Y1, Z1) and the second coordinate P2 (X2, Y2, Z2) corresponding to the loadingtarget blast hole 3TGT, whereby theloading rod 81 can be positioned so that thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 faces the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT.Fig. 15 is a diagram illustrating a situation where the rod positioning step has been completed. Hereinafter, the position of theloading rod 81 in a state in which the rod positioning step has been completed is referred to as a "rod positioning completed position". InFig. 15 , the center axis C1 of theloading rod 81 in the state of being arranged at the rod positioning completed position is positioned coaxially with respect to a center axis C2 of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TGT, and thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 is arranged at position separated from theopening 3B of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT by a predetermined dimension. In the state in which theloading rod 81 is arranged at the rod positioning completed position, a distance of thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 from theopening 3B (hereinafter, referred to as an "initial rod-to-opening distance") is not limited to a particular dimension. - Next, the
control device 15 refers to the blast hole delay number information and controls the detonator dynamite accommodationunit driving mechanism 90, thereby moving the detonator dynamite accommodation unit 100 (initiating explosive accommodation unit) provided in front of theloading rod 81 above the explosive loading boom 13 (guide cell 20) along the loading perpendicular direction Y and feeding the detonator dynamite 4 (initiating explosive) having the initiation lag time corresponding to the delay number of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT to the initiating explosive feeding position located coaxially in front of the loading rod 81 (initiating explosive feeding step). In the above-described configuration example, the interior of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is divided into the first partitioned accommodation portion 150 (#1) to the tenth partitioned accommodation portion 150 (#10). Accordingly, thecontrol device 15 feeds, to the above-described initiating explosive feeding position, thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 attached with thedetonator dynamite 4 for which the initiation lag time corresponding to the delay number of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT is set. - As described above, the detonator
dynamite accommodation unit 100 includes a plurality of partitionedaccommodation portions 150 which can accommodate thedetonator dynamite attachments 5 attached with the detonator dynamites 4 (initiating explosives) sorted to have different initiation lag times from each other, and is provided to be reciprocatingly movable along the loading perpendicular direction Y with respect to the explosive loading boom 13 (guide cell 20). Each partitionedaccommodation portion 150 is arranged in the loading perpendicular direction Y and is provided to be reciprocatingly movable along the loading perpendicular direction perpendicular to the loading direction. Therefore, in the initiating explosive feeding step, thecontrol device 15 causes the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 to be moved along the loading perpendicular direction Y by automatic control of the detonator dynamite accommodationunit driving mechanism 90, whereby the partitioned accommodation portion 150 (hereinafter, referred to as a "loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT ") in which the detonator dynamite attachment 5 (hereinafter, referred to as a "loading target detonator dynamite attachment 5TGT) is accommodated, thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 being attached with thedetonator dynamite 4 for which the initiation lag time corresponding to the delay number of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT is set, can be arranged at the initiating explosive feeding position located coaxially in front of theloading rod 81. - Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the installation relationship between the detonator
dynamite accommodation unit 100 installed on theplacement portion 93 of theslider 92 and theloading rod 81 held by the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 is defined so that the height of the center axis of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 accommodated in the lowermost stage (first stage) in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is substantially equal to the height of the center axis C1 of theloading rod 81 above the explosive loading boom 13 (guide cell 20). The width dimension of each partitionedaccommodation portion 150 in the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is set to a dimension corresponding approximately to the outer diameter of thecylindrical member 51 in thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 as described above. Therefore, thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 is accommodated in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 in the state in which the center axis position of the detonator dynamite attachment 5 (cylindrical member 51) is aligned with the center position in the width direction in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150. In the above-described initiating explosive feeding step, thecontrol device 15 causes the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 to be moved so that the center position in the width direction in the loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT is arranged coaxially with the loading rod 81 (on an extension line of the center axis C1). Thus, the center axis of the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TCT accommodated in the lowermost stage (first stage) in the loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT can be arranged coaxially with the center axis C1 of theloading rod 81. - Here, for example, when the delay number of the loading
target blast hole 3TCT is the eighth delay interval #8 (i.e., when the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT is the eighth delay blast hole (#8), thecontrol device 15 activates theslider 92 so that the center position in the width direction of the eighth partitioned accommodation portion 150 (#8) in which the eighth detonator dynamite attachment 5 (#8) as the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TCT is accommodated is arranged coaxially in front of the loading rod 81 (on the extension line of the center axis C1). As a result, the center axis of the eighth detonator dynamite attachment 5 (#8) accommodated in the lowermost stage (first stage) in the eighth partitioned accommodation portion 150 (#8) as the loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT can be arranged coaxially with the center axis C1 of theloading rod 81. As a result, the eighth detonator dynamite attachment 5 (#8) as the loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT can be arranged at the initiating explosive feeding position located coaxially in front of theloading rod 81. - Next, in step S3, the
control device 15 automatically controls the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80, moves theloading rod 81 forward along the initiating explosive loading direction X, and loads the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT into theinnermost portion 3A of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT while holding the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TCT fed to the initiating explosive feeding position in thetip 811 of theloading rod 81. - As described above, in each
partitioned accommodation portion 150 of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100, thedischarge port 107 is formed in the lower region of thefront surface 101. Therefore, when theloading rod 81 is moved forward along the initiating explosive loading direction X by the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80, thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 can be inserted from therod insertion port 106 corresponding to the loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT in the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100. - The
detonator dynamite attachment 5 is attached with thedetonator dynamite 4 so that thehollow portion 53 remains on an inner side of the rear end of thecylindrical member 51. Therefore, in the initiating explosive loading step, thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 inserted into the loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT from therod insertion port 106 is inserted into thehollow portion 53 of the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT located at the lowermost stage in the loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT, whereby the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT can be held in thetip 811 of theloading rod 81. This enables the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT held in thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 to be easily moved forward by theloading rod 81, thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 being inserted into the loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT from therod insertion port 106. Note that the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TCT is held coaxially by theloading rod 81. -
Fig. 16 is a diagram illustrating a situation of the initiating explosive loading step. In the present embodiment, thedischarge port 107 formed in the lower region in thefront surface 101 side of each partitionedaccommodation portion 150 is formed to face therod insertion port 106 formed in the lower region on therear surface 102 side. Therefore, in the initiating explosive loading step, theloading rod 81 in the state in which the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TCT is held is moved further forward along the initiating explosive loading direction X, whereby the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT in the lowermost stage (first stage) in the loading target partitionedaccommodation portion 150TGT can be discharged from thedischarge port 107. The extending direction in the front-rear direction of each partitionedaccommodation portion 150 of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 is parallel to the initiating explosive loading direction X and the center axis C1 direction of theloading rod 81. Therefore, the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT held in theloading rod 81 is moved along the front-rear direction of each partitionedaccommodation portion 150 by moving theloading rod 81 forward along the initiating explosive loading direction X, whereby the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT can be smoothly discharged from thedischarge port 107. Since thestopper plate 160 is provided in thefront surface 101 of each partitionedaccommodation portion 150 to prevent thedetonator dynamite attachments 5 located in the second stage to the uppermost stage in eachpartitioned accommodation portion 150 from being discharged from thefront surface 101 side, thedetonator dynamite attachments 5 located in the second stage and subsequent stages can be prevented by the friction with the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT from being discharged from thefront surface 101 side when the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT in the lowermost stage is moved forward by theloading rod 81. - In the above-described rod positioning step, the
loading rod 81 is positioned so that the center axis C1 of theloading rod 81 is arranged coaxially relative to the center axis C2 of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT. Therefore, in the initiating explosive loading step, theloading rod 81 in the state in which the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TCT is held is moved further forward along the initiating explosive loading direction X, whereby the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT can be smoothly inserted into the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT from thetip 5A side. - Incidentally, in the above-described rod positioning step, the center axis C1 of the
loading rod 81 is positioned to be arranged coaxially relative to the center axis C2 of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TGT, but the case is assumed that the positioning error in several centimeters level is caused actually.Fig. 17 is a diagram illustrating a guide function of theconical guide portion 52 in thedetonator dynamite attachment 5.Fig. 17 illustrates a situation where the initiating explosive loading step is performed under the circumstance where the center axis C1 of theloading rod 81 is eccentric relative to the center axis C2 of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT. Note that inFig. 17 , the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 and the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 are not illustrated. - In the
detonator dynamite attachment 5 in the present embodiment, theconical guide portion 52 is provided at thefront end 51A of the cylindrical holdingbody 51, and theconical guide portion 52 has a cone shape as described above. Therefore, even when theloading rod 81 is moved forward in the state in which theloading rod 81 is eccentric relative to the loadingtarget blast hole 3TGT, thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 can be moved to the inside of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT while bringing the side surface of theconical guide portion 52 having collided with an edge (edge 2A in the tunnel face) in theopening 3B of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT during the initiating explosive loading step into sliding contact with theopening 3B (edge 2A). That is, thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 can be smoothly inserted into the inside of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT while reducing an amount of eccentricity of the center axis C1 of theloading rod 81 which is eccentric relative to the center axis C2 of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT at the time of the rod positioning completed position. Even when anobstacle 3C such as a falling rock caused by the hole damage or the like exists in the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT in the course of moving the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TCT forward to theinnermost portion 3A of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TGT, thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 can be moved forward toward theinnermost portion 3A while bringing the side surface of theconical guide portion 52 into sliding contact with theobstacle 3C. - As illustrated in
Fig. 16 , in the initiating explosive loading step in the present embodiment, theleg wire 42 connected to thedelay detonator 41 in the loading target detonator dynamite attachment 5TGT (detonator dynamite attachment 5) may be inserted into the loading target blast hole 3TCT (blast hole 3) in the state of being bundled by the bindingmaterial 43. In this case, the diameter of the ring-shapedportion 42A formed by bundling theleg wire 42 in a ring shape by the bindingmaterial 43 is set to have a larger dimension than the diameter of theopening 3B of theblast hole 3. Then, the ring-shapedportion 42A for bundling theleg wire 42 is caught in theedge 2A located around of theopening 3B in the course of inserting the loading target detonator dynamite attachment 5TGT (detonator dynamite attachment 5) into the loading target blast hole 3TCT (blast hole 3), and the resulting resistance causes the breakage of the bindingmaterial 43. As a result, the bundle of theleg wire 42 by the bindingmaterial 43 can be automatically unwound. Here, the bindingmaterial 43 is formed of an easy-to-break material such as paper, and therefore, the bindingmaterial 43 can be easily broken by the small force. Therefore, in the course of unwinding the bundle of theleg wire 42 during the initiating explosive loading step, a large load can be prevented from being applied to theleg wire 42. - The following another embodiment may be employed as a method of automatically unwinding the bundle of the
leg wire 42 in the loading target detonator dynamite attachment 5TGT (detonator dynamite attachment 5) during the initiating explosive loading step. For example, one or a plurality of leg wire holding rod members for hanging and holding the ring-shaped portion 42a of theleg wire 42 in eachdetonator dynamite attachment 5 may be provided at an appropriate position in the outer surface of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 in the present embodiment. Such a leg wire holding rod member may be provided on the side surface 103 (outer surface of the side wall 120) of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100, for example. From the viewpoint of orderly holding the ring-shapedportion 42A of theleg wire 42 in eachdetonator dynamite attachment 5 in the leg wire holding rod member, the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100 preferably includes a plurality of holdingrod members 42A. - For example, the detonator
dynamite accommodation unit 100 preferably includes one or a plurality of leg wire rod members for each of left and right side surfaces 103. When the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT held in theloading rod 81 is moved forward in the initiating explosive loading step, the stress is applied to the bindingmaterial 43 bundling the ring-shapedportion 42A held in the leg wire holding rod member during this step, whereby the bindingmaterial 43 can be broken by the stress. Of course, the bindingmaterial 43 is formed of an easy-to-break material such as paper, and therefore, the stress is not applied to thewire 42 before the bindingmaterial 43 is broken. Also in such an embodiment, the ring-shapedportion 42A is held in the leg wire holding rod member in advance, the bundle of theleg wire 42 by the bindingmaterial 43 can be automatically unwound during the initiating explosive loading step. Note that after the bundle of theleg wire 42 by the bindingmaterial 43 is unwound, theleg wire 42 can be fed continuously from the leg wire holding rod member when theloading rod 81 is moved forward. - Note that when the leg wire holding rod member is provided in the
side surface 103 in the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100, the leg wire holding rod member may be provided to protrude laterally from theside surface 103. When a plurality of leg wire holding rod members are provided in theside surface 103 in the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100, the plurality of leg wire holding rod members may be provided on different levels in the up-down direction of the detonatordynamite accommodation unit 100. When the plurality of leg wire holding rod members are provided on different levels, theleg wires 42 held in each leg wire holding rod member are unlikely to be entangled with each other. - In the above-described initiating explosive loading step, the
control device 15 calculates a forward movement amount of theloading rod 81 and drives the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 on the basis of the calculated forward movement amount of theloading rod 81. The forward movement amount of theloading rod 81 can be calculated on the basis of the design lengths of the initial rod-to-hole distance and the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT in the state in which theloading rod 81 is arranged at the rod positioning completed position, for example. Thecontrol device 15 may calculate the forward movement amount of theloading rod 81 required to position thetip 5A of the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT at theinnermost portion 3A of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT on the basis of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT and the initial rod-to-hole distance, the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT being calculated on the basis of the first coordinate P1 (X1, Y1, Z1) of theopening 3B and the second coordinate P2 (X2, Y2, Z2) of theinnermost portion 3A in the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT that are stored in the blast hole position information. In this way, when thecontrol device 15 automatically controls the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80, the loading of the loading targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT is completed in the state in which thetip 5A of the mounting targetdetonator dynamite attachment 5TGT is positioned at theinnermost portion 3A of the mountingtarget blast hole 3TGT, as illustrated inFig. 18 . - Then, after the initiating explosive loading step, in step S4, the
control device 15 controls the loadingrod feeding mechanism 80 to activate the additionalexplosive feeding device 83 while moving theloading rod 81 backward, and pressure-feed the additional dynamite 6 (additional explosive) to thehollow passage 812 of theloading rod 81 via the pumping hose 82 (additional explosive loading step). Theadditional dynamite 6 press-fed to thehollow passage 812 of theloading rod 81 is loaded into the inside of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT from thetip 811 of the loading rod 81 (hollow passage 812).Fig. 19 is a diagram illustrating a situation where the additional explosive loading step has been completed. When the additional explosive loading step is completed, the loading of the detonator dynamite 4 (detonator dynamite attachment 5) and theadditional dynamite 6 into the inside of the loadingtarget blast hole 3TCT is completed. As illustrated inFig. 19 , in the state in which theloading rod 81 is withdrawn from the loadingtarget blast hole 3TGT, thecontrol device 15 controls to automatically load explosives (thedetonator dynamite 4, the additional dynamite 6) into next loadingtarget blast hole 3TGT. That is, each step of the above-described steps S2 to S4 is sequentially repeated, and therefore the work of loading explosives (thedetonator dynamite 4, the additional dynamite 6) into all the blast holes 3 can be automatically performed. - As described above, according to the explosive loading system S including the
explosive loading apparatus 1 and thecontrol device 15, the explosives corresponding to the delay numbers of the regions to be blasted assigned to thetunnel face 2 of the tunnel TN can be automatically loaded to the blast holes 3. - According to an explosive loading method in the present embodiment, the
detonator dynamite attachment 5 to which thedetonator dynamite 4 is attached is provided with theconical guide portion 52 on thefront end 51A of the cylindrical holdingbody 51, and therefore, as illustrated with reference toFig. 17 , thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 can be smoothly loaded to reach theinnermost portion 3A of theblast hole 3 by a guide function of theconical guide portion 52 under the circumstance where the center axis of thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 is eccentric relative to the center axis C2 of theblast hole 3 or even when anobstacle 3C such as a falling rock caused by the hole damage or the like exists in theblast hole 3. - Note that in the above-described embodiment, an embodiment in which the explosives (the
detonator dynamite 4, the additional dynamite 6) are automatically loaded into theblast hole 3 bored in thetunnel face 2 has been described as an example, but the explosive loading method using thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 provided with theconical guide portion 52 according to the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, when theloading rod 81 is positioned in the above-described rod positioning step, theloading rod 81 may be positioned to face theblast hole 3 not under automatic control using thecontrol device 15 but under operation via thecontrol panel 232 or the like. The explosive loading method of loading thedetonator dynamite attachment 5 held on thetip 811 of theloading rod 81 into theblast hole 3 according to the present disclosure can be also preferably applied to such an embodiment, whereby the explosives can be smoothly loaded. -
