  • This invention relates to drill booms of the type pro vided with rotary adjusting heads adapted for positioning a rock drilling apparatus to different alternative drilling positions with respect to a work surface.
  • a rotation axle for the adjusting head through the entire drill boom and the rotation motor was supported at the exterior of the drill boom and the rear end thereof.
  • Such design poses journalling problems in connection with deflection of the drill boom under load simultaneously with the rear end of the drill boom becoming undesirably bulky.
  • the drill boom is perforated by longitudinal guide openings in which a torque generating screw is non-rotatably but slidably guided for axial reciprocation. The perforations, however, are apt to weaken the drill boom simultaneously with the latter becoming subjected to undesirable torque.
  • a drill boom with rotary adjusting head adapted for positioning a rock drilling apparatus to different alternative drilling positions with respect to a work surface and comprising a boom support, a hollow drill boom swingably mounted at the inner end thereof on said boom support, a journal bearing at the outer end of said drill boom and axially aligned therewith, an adjusting head having a journal thereon rotatably received in said journal bearing for rotatably supporting said adjusting head thereon, a drilling apparatus adjustably supported on said adjusting head, a pressure fluid actuated turning means within said hollow drill boom and carrying a driving member rotatably at one end thereof, coupling means connecting said driving member non-rotatably to said journal, bracket means connecting the other end of said turning means to the inner end of said drill boom, and the portions of said turning means between said coupling and bracket means being free from force transmitting engagement with said drill boom.

  • the journal bearing 20 is carried by a journal sleeve 21 which by flange 22 is fixed to the outer flanges 17 of the jib portion 10 together with a cover ring 23 slidingly surrounding the journal 19.
  • journal sleeve 21 Between the cover ring 23 and the journal bearing 20 is inserted a pair of slide bearing rings 25 disposed at opposed sides of an intermediate flange 24 on the journal 19 and forming an axial bearing which fixes the journal 19 axially with respect to the jib portion 10
  • the inner end of the journal sleeve 21 is supported by a peripheral support member 26 fixed to the inside of the jib portion 10 at some distance from the outer flanges 17.
  • a gear sleeve 27 To the interior of the journal 19 and the inner end thereof there is non-rotatably afixed a gear sleeve 27 provided with an inner coupling means or gear rim 28.

  • the cover 29 provides a bracket to which a pressure fluid driven, preferably hydraulically driven turning means is aflixed for angular adjustment of the adjusting head 14 about the journal bearing 20.
  • a drive screw 32 which by helical splines and grooves is in engagement with corresponding splines and grooves on a turning nut 33.
  • the drive screw 32 forms the forward piston rod of a piston 34 which is slidably and sealingly guided in a cylinder sleeve 35.
  • the cylinder sleeve 35 is aflixed by screws to a cylindrical backhead 36 into which the piston 34 projects slidingly but non-rotatably with a rear piston rod 37 provided with straight splines and grooves thereon cooperating with corresponding splines and grooves in the backhead 36.
  • the backhead 36 is closed by a cover 38 screwed thereto and is bolted at a rear end flange 39 thereof, FIG. 3, to the inner side of the bracket or rear cover 29- of the jib portion
  • the cylinder sleeve 35 carries at the forward end thereof a bearing member 40 in which is rotatably journalled a driving member 41.
  • the driving member is carried by a radial ball bearing 42 and is fixed axially at a central flange 43 between a pair of axial ball bearings 44.
  • the bearing member 40 and its bearings 42, 44 are covered by a cover 45 screwed to the bearing member 40 and sealed by suitable sealing rings with respect to the rotatable driving member 41.
  • the driving member 41 At the end of a hollow member 46 which projects into the cylinder sleeve 35 ,the driving member 41 carries the turning nut 33.
  • the driving member 41 carries at the end thereof protruding from the cover 45 a coupling means or gear wheel 47 which is in engagement with the inner gear rim 28 on the journal 19.
  • a coupling means or gear wheel 47 which is in engagement with the inner gear rim 28 on the journal 19.
  • the gear tops of the gear wheel 47 are spherically rounded at the opposed axial portions of the gear wheel 47 in a manner to give the latter and the gear rim 28 the function of a coupling means providing limited angular movability between the driving member 41 and the joural 19.
  • a pressure fluid conduit 48 by means of which pressure fluid can be supplied via suitable interior channels and openings in the bearing member 40 to the forward end of the cylinder sleeve 35 and to the interior of the hollow member 46 via bores in the driving member 41.
  • pressure fluid can be supplied via suitable interior channels in the backhead 36 to the inner end of the cylinder sleeve 35 and the interior of the backhead 36.
  • the conduits 48 49 are connected to a hydraulic lock 50 which by means of conduits 48 49 is connected in conventional manner to a source of hydraulic pressure, not shown, via a control value preferably of four way type and likewise not shown which closes the conduit 48 49 or opens one of them optionally to high pressure and the other for return flow.
  • the driving member 41 is forced to rotate in the bearing member 40 and the rotation thereof is trans mitted via the gear wheel 47 to the journal 19 so that the latter can be adjusted to the desired angle about the longitudinal axis of the jib portion 10
  • the turning movement is preferably chosen in such way that during a full stroke of the piston 34 outwardly to abutting relation against the hollow member 46 there is performed a turning of the adjusting head 14 through 360.
  • the feed shell 16 and the rock drill can be adjusted to any desired angular position with a full turning circle and may for example be set to the position 16 15 designated by broken lines in FIG. 1.
  • Reaction torque caused by the torque generated between the drive screw 32 and the turning nut 33 is transmitted during angular adjustment via the splines of the rear piston rod 37 to the backhead 36 and thereby directly to the rear cover 29 of the jib portion 10 and the rearmost portions of the drill boom 10. As a result the jib portion 10 is substantially entirely relieved from torque.
  • the piston 34 will be retained rigidly and hydraulically arrested in any adjusted position between its inner end position shown in FIG. 7 and its outer end position abutting against the hollow member 46.
  • a position slide 53 slidably inserted between said conduits 48 49 in the hydraulic lock 50 opens by the aid of a pushing rod and by way of forced motion the particular check valve 51 or 52 therein which is to be passed by return flow to the other conduit 49 or 48 .
  • the spherical design of gear wheels 47 allows angular adaptation between the journal 19 and the turning means 30 so that the latter avoids being subjected to excessive load due to flexural stress.
  • the backhead 36 in some case may be connected directly to the journal 19 via an elastic coupling in which case the turning means 30 will be mounted in reversed position within the jib portion 10 with the driving member 41 directly and non-rotatably connected to the bracket provided by the rear cover 29 of the jib portion 10
