Definitions

  • this invention relates to a device for axial displacement of a pipe, a rod or the like elongated member in connection with the loading of bore-holes with explosive.
  • the invention has primarily been brought up in connection with. charging bore-holes with explosives according "to a system disclosed in the co-pending patent application Serial No. 711,417, filed January 27, 1958, now Patent 13,040,615, by Carl H. Johansson and Sten H. Ljungberg, according to which disclosure the explosives are intro pokerd into the bore-hole through a pipe or a hose by means of a pressure medium as is more detailed described 'in the specification of the patent application referred to.
  • FIG. 1 is a partly sectional elevation. of an apparatus for moving a pipe or a hose in connection with charging bore-holes in rocks with explosives; various parts of the figure being reproduced on different scales for clarity.
  • FIG. 2 shows a portion of the apparatus, partly in section parallel to the plane of the drawing according to FIG. 1, and on a larger scale.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a detail of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a modified embodiment of the invention.
  • reference numeral 10 denotes a bore-hole formed in the roof 12 of a drift or chamber in a rock. This example of the position of the hole has been chosen because it makes especially heavy demands upon the explosive charging operation.
  • a jack leg known per se is used, which is composed of two mutually axially displaceable parts 14-, 16 which are brought to rigid engagement with the roof 12 and fioor 2!), respectively, of the drift under the action of a pressure medium supplied through a conduit 18 and by way of a valve 19.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 comprises an upper and a lower clamping member generally designated 22 and 24, respectively, which are constructed essentially alike and in accordance with the section shown in FIG. 2.
  • each clamping member is provided with a container 26 in the form of an annular hose of rubber, plastic or some other resilient material.
  • a sleeve 38 serving as a wear lining, which sleeve may be made of plastic, rubber or the like and which is provided with slits 32 in front of the hose.
  • the hose 26 is inserted into an annulus 34, which opens inwards, and between which. and a plate 36 the sleeve 30 is secured by a flange portion 38.
  • the casing of the upper clamping member 22 is passed over the upper part 16 of the jack leg by means of a mufflike portion 42 and is secured to said part on the desired level by means of a bolt joint 44.
  • This portion further carries a plate 46 towhich the two housings 48 of two actuators are rigidly secured.
  • the one housing 48 may also be secured, by means of a clamp 50 and a bolt joint 52, to the upper part 16 of the jack leg.
  • the casing of lower clamping member 24 is rigidly secured, by means of bolt joints 54, to piston rods 56 and pistons 58 axially movable in their respective actuator housings 48. Hence, the clamping member 24 is axially movable together with the pistons 58 in relation to the upper stationary clamping member 22.
  • a pressure medium being a liquid or agas, primarily compressed air, is supplied to the apparatus from a pressure source through a conduit 60 wherein a valve 62 may be mounted.
  • the conduit 60 has an extension 64 opening into the body 66 of a spool valve wherein aspool 68 is axially shiftable.
  • From the valve body 66 a conduit 70 extends. leading to the annular hose 26 of the upper clamping member 22 by way of a branch 72, 73 wherein a valve member 74 is disposed.
  • Another branch 76 together with an extension 78 communicates with the top ends of the two actuator housings 48.
  • a further conduit 80 connected to the valve body 66 divides into two branches, one of which 82, 83 passing through the valve member 74 and connecting to a flexible hose 84 which is extended to the hose 26 in the lower clamping member 24 by way of a conduit 36.
  • the other branch 94 of the conduit 86 and its extension 92 terminates at the lower ends of the two actuator housings 48.
  • the valve spool 68 has two lands 4, 96 which control the flow of pressure me-
  • the supply conduit 64 for the pressure medium communicates with the conduit 70 so that the two top portions of the actuator housings 48 receive pressure medium via the conduits 76 and 78, respectively.
  • valve member 74 is set in such a way that the pressure medium passes through the conduit 72, 73 to the annular hose 26 of the upper clamping member 22.
  • the bottom ends of the actuator housings 48 communicate, by way of conduits 90, 82, 80, with an exhaust 98 in the valve body 66, said ends thus being free from pressure.
  • the valve spool 68 By reversing the valve spool 68 to its opposite limit position the bottom ends of the actuator housings. 48 are placed under pressure while their top ends become free from pressure by communication being established with an exhaust 100 in the valve body 66.
  • the spool 68 is automatically operated by means of two limit valves 102, 104 accommodating spring actuated valve plungers 106 and 108, respectively.
  • the valve 102 is rigidly secured, by means of a bracket 118, to the one actuator housing 48 and thus to the stationary upper clamping member 22.
  • the valve plunger 106 cooperates with an abutment arm 112 on the lower clamping member 24.
  • the other valve 184 is rigidly secured, by means of a bracket 114, to the lower part 14 of the jack leg, and the valve plunger 108 co-operates with an abutment 116, likewise disposed on the clamping member 24.
  • conduit 118 issues leading to valve 102 by one branch 120 and to valve 104 by another branch 122.
  • a conduit 124 connects the valve 102 with the right-hand end, as viewed in FIG. 1, of the valve body 66 where the valve spool 68 has an end flange 126.
  • conduit 128 issues to the left-hand end of the valve body 66 where the valve spool has an end flange 132.
  • the two end portions of the valve body have bleed holes 99 and 127, respectively, through which the conduit 124 or 128 inoperative at the time is made free from pressure by the pressure medium (air) escaping to the atmosphere.
  • a branch 129 from the conduit 64 is connected to the conduit 83 by way of a three-Way valve 130.
  • a pressure reducing valve 131 is mounted in the conduit 129 .
  • pressure medium may be directed through the conduit 129 and the three-way valve 130 to the lower clamping member 24.
  • a shut-off valve 133 may be mounted for disconnecting the upper clamping member 22.
  • the device operates in the following way.
  • valve 74 has been manually adjusted in such a way that the pressure medium also passes through conduits 72 and 73 and the open valve 133 to the hose 26 of the upper clamping member 22.
  • the pipe 28 is retained in its axial position by the stationary upper clamping member 22.
  • conduits 92, 90, 80 are free from pressure on account of the fact that they communicate, as previously mentioned, with the exhaust 98 in the valve body 66. Because of the setting of the valve 74 also the hose 26 of the lower clamping member 24 is free from pressure, for which reason this clamping member may be unimpededly displaced in relationship to the pipe 28.
  • the valve 130 is set for communication between conduits 83 and 84, and the conduit 129 is thus disconnected.
  • the valve 74 retains the same setting from which follows that the upper clamping member 22 becomes free from pressure simultaneously with the pressure medium supply to the actuators being reversed, while the lower clamping member 24 becomes operative for clamping the pipe 28.
  • the pipe is thus brought along upwards by the lower clamping member 24.
  • the clamping member 24 will automatically reciprocate up and down and bring along the pipe 28 during its upward movement, said pipe on the other hand being locked by the upper stationary clamping member 22 during the downward movement.
  • the pipe 28 which can comprise a hose of plastic, has been raised upwards in this manner to the desired depth of the bore-hole 10, charging the hole with explosive begins, the explosive suitably being in the form of cartridges which are fed by a pressure medium through the interior of the pipe 28, for instance, in accordance with the co-pending patent application Serial No. 711,417 referred to hereinbefore.
  • the pipe 28 is to be brought back downwards.
  • the friction force against the pipe may be adjusted in such a way so that slipping occurs at a desired speed.
  • This may be provided by resetting the valve 130 so that the lower clamping member 24 receives pressure medium through the conduit 129 under a pressure corresponding to the setting of the reducing valve 131. Further valve 133 is shut off. This means that while the movable clamping member 24 is brought up and down as before under control of the reversing valve spool 68, only the clamping member 24 is operative to lock the pipe 28. As the clamping member 24 is continuously under pressure it seizes the pipe in both directions of movement. However, the clamping power is limited thanks to the pressure reducing valve 131 so that the pipe 28 slips in relationship to the clamping member 24 during the upward movement. In this way a stamping of the explosive or cartridges of explosive, respectively, is attained according as they leave the pipe 28. This stamping may be varied by adjusting the valve 131 to various pressures so that slipping occurs between the pipe and the clamping member 24 at a corresponding counter-pressure of the explosive.
  • valve 133 is opened.
  • the valve member 74 is shifted 90 clockwise and the three-way valve 130 is shifted in a way to reestablish communication between the conduits 83 and 84.
  • the top ends of the actuator housings 48 are supplied with pressure medium for performing a downward movement of the clamping member 24, the
  • conduit 73 communicates with conduits 82, and is free from pressure
  • the upper clamping member 22 is inoperative.
  • the hose 26 of this clamping member has been made inoperative by conduits 86, 84, 83, 72, 70 being connected to the exhaust 100, while the upper clamping member 22 locks the pipes 28 in its position by the member receiving pressure medium through conduits 64, 80, 82 and 73.
  • the pipe 28 is given a stepwise movement in the outward direction, but in a faster tempo than when the charging operation was in progress.
  • the apparatus is capable of operating with the clamping member 22 out of operation and the clamping member 24 continuously subjected to pressure in both directions of displacement of the pipe 28.
  • the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 represents'an apparatus intended solely for this manner of operation.
  • the apparatus is thus provided with a sole clamping member 24 to which pressure medium is supplied through flexible conduits 86 and the pressure reducing valve 131 in the same manner as in the embodiment described hereinbefore.
  • the clamping member is rigidly secured to the piston rod 56 of the piston 58 which is reciprocable within the housing 48 of the actuator.
  • This housing is connected with a frame tube 134 which on its one end supports av blister or container 136 having a wall made of a resilient material such as rubber.
  • pressure fluid is fed through a conduit 138 and causes said container to expand so as to engage the Wall of the bore-hole and thereby to retain the apparatus firmly in its position.
  • the pressure medium is supplied to the clamping member 24 and to the retaining member 136 from conduit 140 or 142, respectively, through a valve housing 144.
  • the pressures act during the charging operation constantly on both members and are determined in relationship to one another so as to cause the member 136 to retain the apparatus firmly in its operative position and the clamping member to allow a sliding or skidding movement of the pipe 28 in one of its directions of movement.
  • Pressure medium is further supplied alternately to one or the other side of the piston 58 to produce the reciprocating movement of said piston and of the clamping member 24 by means of valve 144 which may be of the same kind as the valve 66 so as to cause the reversal of the movement to be produced automatically.
  • the bore-hole is disposed in a downward direction and the elongated member or pipe 28 is threaded through the device and is manually fed into the bore-hole where it falls by gravity until it reaches the bottom thereof.
  • the device is then inserted in the top portion of the bore-hole and fluid pressure is applied to cause the blister 136 to expand and engage the side walls of the bore-hole and firmly anchor the device.
  • a cartridge or charge of exposive is introduced into the bore-hole through the pipe 28 after which fluid pressure will be directed into the lower portion of the housing 48 and cause the piston 58 to move upwardly.
  • the pressure is relieved on the device and the device and pipe are withdrawn from the bore-hole.
