ES2397733A2 - Pneumatic equipment for bottom and loading of explosives in barrels with water (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding) - Google Patents

Abstract

Pneumatic equipment for pumping and loading explosives in boreholes with water. It consists of a mobile structure that supports, among others, an open or closed explosive tank, which at the outlet has a valve, preferably a sphere, coupled to a sleeve into which a flexible hose closed at its lower end is embedded, of diameter slightly inferior to that of the borehole and variable length according to which it can be drained to load it with anfo in bulk or it has to be encartucharlo because total bailing is impossible. The hose, when inflated by the pressure of the fluid supplied by a compressor, cylinder, etc., displaces the water towards the mouth. To distribute and control that fluid, the equipment has a multi-way valve and a safety valve that, depending on whether it is an open or closed tank, are installed next to, or before, the ball valve.

Description

PNEUMATIC EQUIPMENT FOR ACHIQUE AND LOADING EXPLOSIVES IN BARRENOS WITH WATER

Technical sector

The invention is part of the industrial and mining sector of the removal of rocks and minerals with explosives, both in indoor and outdoor work.

State of the art

In certain blasting, the explosive called Anfo is used, consisting of ammonium nitrate and gas-oil. This explosive, of low price, has the disadvantage that it cannot be used in bulk in drills with water and the problem, when presented, is usually solved by encasing it on site, replacing it with another insensitive to water or shrinking the one they contain The holes.

The encartuchado, it is necessary to do it in hoses of diameter substantially smaller than the one of the auger, reason why the amount of explosive loaded is quite smaller than the calculated one in bulk and therefore the performance of the blasting will be lower. In the second case, if the substitutes are dynamites encartuchadas, the same happens and, in addition to the lower yield, the cost of blasting is considerably more expensive as they are much more expensive explosives. If emulsions are used the volume of explosive is the same as in bulk but the price is much higher. As for the drain of the holes, for which we have registered a submersible pneumatic pump with the number ES 1066159U, it is a valid procedure if water does not re-enter them.

Technical problem raised

Taking into account that the order of explosives must be done, at least, twenty-four hours in advance, if the weather conditions did not provide

the presence of water, and this occurs, it is not always possible to resort to the indicated solutions and, sometimes, there is no other remedy than to destroy the Anfo.

It would therefore be desirable to have equipment that allows these explosives to be used in water holes.

To this end, the present invention allows the holes to be drained and loaded with bulk width, or, to be encamped to the diameter, practically, of the hole with which the specific designed load is maintained and, therefore, the expected performance.

Detailed description of the invention

As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the invention relates to a device containing:

A structure (1), which can be supported on the ground, on wheels or in a vehicle. A tank for amp (2), open, Figure 1 or closed, Figure 2. A preferably ball valve (3). A hose or hose (4) in which the flexible and flat hose (5) is inserted. diameter slightly smaller than that of the hole and is closed by the lower end where it joins to the last cartridge of the bottom load (9) or, if Anfo is not encamped, to another body that also counterbalance and lower it to the bottom to drain the well or hole and, in this case, load it with bulk Arrfo.

The sleeve or hose (4) used in the Equipment of Figure 1 has two holes where a 3 Way Valve (6) is coupled for inlet and distribution of the pressurized fluid and one of Security (7). These Valves in the Equipment of Figure 2 are mounted on the Deposit (2).

The Equipment of Figure (2) is suitable for loading several holes from the same location and can have a measuring device.

The components of the Equipment are linked together by welding, sleeves, mamelons, flanges, etc.

To facilitate the understanding of the invention in Figure 1 the installed Equipment is represented on the cut of a hole (12), inside which the bottom load (10) is appreciated; he detonating cord or detonator wires (11) and the flat and flexible hose (5) deflated and connected by the couplings (8) to the sleeve or hose (4) and to the last cartridge of the load background that acts as a counterweight (9).

Embodiment of the invention:

To drain wells or boreholes with airtight flow.

With the empty tanks (2) the flexible and flat hose is introduced into the well or borehole

(5) attached to a counterweight (9) and with the Valve (3) closed in the case of Figure 1 and open in that of Figure 2, the 3-way Valve (6) is opened so that the pressurized fluid Swell (5) and expel water through the mouth. When it does not leave, it closes (6) and the Equipment is removed. If the drain was made in a hole, it can be loaded with Anfo in bulk.

To encampuchar Anro in holes with continuous water inlet:

With Equipment of Figure 1 (Open tank)

1) The bottom load (10) minus the last cartridge (9) that joins, as a counterweight, the flexible and flat hose (5) is lowered into the borehole (5) to lower it to the load already introduced. The other end is embedded and closed in (4). The detonating cord or threads of detonators (11) leave the bottom load (10) outside.

2) The valves (3) and (6) are closed and after putting in the tank (2) the required amp load for the hole, the valve (6) is opened to swell (5) and move the water towards the mouth .

3) When you quit, it closes (6) and opens (3), which remains open while Anfo comes out.

4) Closed (3) opens (6) and the pressurized fluid displaces and compresses the amp column against the bottom load (10). Then it is closed (6) and the retouching is carried out if the load is finished. Otherwise, it is reopened (3) and the operations are repeated until finished. 5) It can be retouched by traditional means or using the Equipment.

With Equipment of Figure 2 (Closed tank)

1) - Operation 1) of the previous case is done. 2) -The explosive is put inside the tank (2). 3) -The valve (3) is opened and then the (6) to push the Anfo against the load of background (10) 4) -The two valves close when the hole is loaded. 5) -It is retouched as in 5) of the previous case.

This type of deposit has the advantage of continuous loading and can be loaded several holes from the same location.
