Definitions

  • Martin ABSTRACT An uncoupling and storage apparatus for multiple sections of extension drill rods having spaced rack members for storing drill rod sections laterally in line with the drill string and interconnected to transfer extension drill rods seriatim to and from the drill string.
  • Spaced substantially arcuate openings in one of the rack members provide jaw surfaces for cooperatively forming with a sliding member a clamp mechanism for nonrotatively clamping a drill rod section for uncoupling from the drill string.
  • the sliding member of the clamp mechanism has predetermined spaced recesses providing complementary jaw surfaces for clamping only the drill rod section which is successively in position to be uncoupled from the drill string.
  • Drill rod uncoupling means are usually associated with the aforementioned storage andhandling apparatus and devices known in the art are often provided for each individual drill rod retaining and storage position resulting in a substantial complication and multiplication of mechanism on the drilling rig.
  • the present invention provides for an improved storage and uncoupling apparatus for multiple extension drill rod sections which includes spaced retaining members of quite simplified construction for storing extension drill rods laterally in line with a drill feed.
  • the invention also provides simplified means for moving multiple drill rods in line over the drill hole for in sertion and removal from a drill string by providing spaced storage rack members synchronized to move in unison.
  • a particularly advantageous aspect of the invention is the provision of a simplified'drill rod uncoupling device which includes a single movable member cooperable with one of the drill rod retaining members to form a clamping mechanism for nonrotatably clamping an extension drill rod section to permit unscrewing the threaded joint between a clamped drill rod section and another or between a clamped drill rod section and a drill motor.
  • An advantage of the present invention also resides in the construction of the cooperative movable clamping member and the drill rod retaining member to provide for nonrotatably clamping only the drill rod section which is successively in position to be removed from the drill string.
  • a further advantage of the present invention resides in the provision of an improved drill rod uncoupling device which is self-energizing for nonrotatably clamping an extension drill rod increasingly tighter as greater rotatory effort is applied in unscrewing threaded joints or the like.
  • FIG. I is a front elevation of a typical crawler mounted rock drilling rig and illustrates a preferred arrangement of drill rod uncoupling and storage apparatus mounted thereon.
  • FIG. 2 is a view from the line 2-2 of FIG. I illustrating details of construction of the drill rod uncoupling clamp mechanism in the process of uncoupling an extension drill rod section.
  • FIG. 3 is a view substantially from the'lin'e 3-3 of- FIG. I illustrating detailsof the upper storage rack rn'ember
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of the retaining "member 'and'the clamp member of the drill rod uncoupling apparatus with'pertinent dimensions indicated to illustrate'the predetermined spacing of the complementary jaw surfaces.
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary view similar to FIG. 2 and showing a second drill rod section being clamped for uncoupling froin a drill string.
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentray view similar to FIGS. 2 and .5 and showing a third drillrod section being successively clamped for uncoupling from a drill string.
  • FIG. 7 is a view partly sectioned, taken substantially along the line 7-7 of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. I a typical crawler mounted portable rock drilling rig, generally designated by the numeral'l0, is illustrated in a vertical drilling position.
  • the drill rig 10 comprises a crawler-type undercarriage 12 adapted to adjustably mount an elongated mast or'guide shell I4.
  • the mast 14 is constructed, basically, of two inwardly turned channel members l6 and 18 which provide for slidably mounting a pressure fluid operated drill motor 20.
  • the drill motor 20 is of a wellknown percussion type and includes a short section of drill steel in the form of athrea'ded shank portion 22 retained and extending from the lower end thereof.
  • the shank portion 22 is adapted to transmit percussion blow energy and rotational motion provided by the drill motor 20 to a string of extension drill steel in a manner well understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.
  • the drill motor 20 receives pressure fluid from a source, not shown, via a main sup'plyline 24, a bank of control valves 26 and a plurality of flexible conduits 28, 30 and 32 for providing, respectively, percussion and rotational energy, and hole cleansing medium.
  • the drill. motor 20 may "be slidably fed back and forth along the mast I4 by a feed mechanism, not shown, of one of a number of types well known in the art of drilling apparatus to provide for feeding an extension drill string 34 in and out of the drill hole 36.
  • an extension drill rod 38 having a coupling 39 is in the process of being uncoupled from the drill string 34 including a section of drill rod 40 and coupling 42, and from the shank 22.
  • Uncoupling and handling .of the extension drill rod 38 and additional extension drill rod members of the drill string 34 is accomplished by apparatus comprising upper and lower storage rack members 44 and .415, respectively.
  • the lower rack member 46 comprises a substantially T-shaped element having a vertical rail section 48 and a portion 50. perpendicular thereto for supporting a plurality of cuplike receptacles 52 for receiving the threaded ends of extension drill rods such as the drill rod 38 in FIG. I.
  • the lower storage rack 46 is movably supported by four grooved rollers 54 which in turn are rotatively mounted on a bracket 56 attached to the mast 14.
  • the upper storage rack I member 44 is also of somewhat T-shaped construction including a rail portion 58 movably supported also by grooved I'O Ir lers 54 mounted on a bracket 60 also fastened to the mast 14.
  • the rack member 44 includes a drill steel retaining member 62, FIG. 2, having a plurality of substantially arcuate openings 64, 66 and 68 interconnected by an elongated slot 69.
  • the slot '69 is predetermined to be of sufficient width for receiving drill rods and the openings 64, 66, and 68 are of predetermined diameter to be slightly larger than the coupling diameter.
  • the upper and lower rack members 44 and 46 are interconnected by an elongated drive shaft 70 FIGS.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the gear 72 engaged with a gear rack 74 mounted on the upper storage rack member 44.
  • the lower storage rack member 46 includes a gear rack 75 attached to the rail portion 48 and engaged by a spur gear 77 mounted on the lower end of the drive shaft 70.
  • a bearing 79 supported by the bracket 56 rotatively journals the drive shaft 70 adjacent the lower end thereof, and an intermediate bearing 81 and a bearing 83 on the bracket 60, FIG. 1, also serve to hold the drive shaft in proper alignment.
  • the drive shaft 70 is rotatively driven by a reversible fluid operated motor 76 mounted on the bracket 60 and drivably cone connected to the shaft 70 by means of a coupling 78.
  • Fluid conductors 80 and 82 provide motive fluid to the motor 76 via a suitable control, not shown.
  • the spaced storage rack members 44 and 46 are thereby interconnected to move laterally in unison into and out of position in line with the drill string 34 for removing and adding, successively, extension drill rod sections.
  • the simplicity of construction of the rack members 44 and 46 and the simple but effective motor and drive shaft arrangement for synchronizing the movement of the rack members 44 and 46 to position the drill rod storage apparatus makes possible the use of such apparatus even on relatively lightweight drilling rigs such as the rig shown in FIG. 1.
  • the rail portion 58 of the upper rack member 44 slidably retains a movable clamp member 84 by means of shoulder type screws 86 located in the counterbored slots 88.
  • the clamp member 84 is retained adjacent the retaining member 62 and includes a plurality of arcuate recesses comprising jaw surfaces 90, 92 and 94 which are complementary to the jaw surfaces formed by the arcuate openings 64, 66, and 68 on the retaining member 62.
  • Actuation of the clamping member 84 to nonrotatably engage the drill rod coupling 39 as shown in FIG. 2 is provided by a double acting linear fluid motor 96 mounted on the upper rack member 44 by means of the bracket 97 and connected to the clamp member 84 by means of the clevis 98. Pressure fluid is supplied to the linear motor 96 by means of the conductors 100 and 102 via a suitable control, not shown.
  • the present invention provides for a lateral in line drill rod storage apparatus which comprises a retaining member and a movable clamp member operable to nonrotatably clamp only the drill rod section which is successively in position to be uncoupled from a drill string.
  • a lateral in line drill rod storage apparatus which comprises a retaining member and a movable clamp member operable to nonrotatably clamp only the drill rod section which is successively in position to be uncoupled from a drill string.
  • This feature is provided by the retaining member 62 and the movable clamp member 84 which have a series of respective coacting jaw surfaces thereon spaced a predetermined distance in such a manner that only one extension drill rod is nonrotatably engaged thereby assuring that the force applied by the linear motor 96 is used to clamp only the drill rod section normally required to be uncoupled.
  • the clamp member 84 is shown positioned so that the center 106 defining the radius center for the radius R of the complementary jaw surface 90 comprises also the center of the radius R for the arcuate opening 64 in the retaining member 62.
  • the center 108 for the radius R, defining the jaw surface 92 is spaced the distance X from the center 110 of the radius R of the second arcuate opening 66 on the retaining member 62
  • the center 112 for the radius Rd I defining the third complementary jaw surface 94 is spaced the distance Y from the center 114 for the radius R of the third arcuate opening 68 on the retaining member 62.
  • the spacing of the centers 112 and 114 as defined by dimension Y is greater than the spacing of the center 108 and 110 as defined by the dimension X.
  • a means of determining the spacing of the respective jaw surface radius centers for each respective pair of coacting jaw surfaces would comprise constructing a common center 106 for the outermost, or furthest to the right in FIG. 4, radii defining the surfaces 64 and 90 on the retaining member and clamp member, respectively.
  • the center spacing of the centers 108 and 112 could then be laid out along a straight or curved line equidistantly from one another starting from the reference point 106.
  • the centers 110 and 114 could be laid out along the same straight or curved line also equidistantly from one another from the reference point 106 but on a center distance greater than the dimension chosen for the centers 108 and 112.
  • the result is that pairs of coacting jaw surfaces are progressively further apart when the reference points are coincident.
  • This predetermined spacing of the jaw surfaces has on achieve achieving the clamping of only the extension drill rod section successively in position to be uncoupled from the drill string may be appreciated by viewing FIGS. 2, 5, and 6 in succession.
  • FIG. 2 the coupling 39 of the drill rod section 38, first to be removed from the drill string 34, is shown nonrotatably engaged by the coacting jaw surfaces 68 and 94 in response to actuation of the clamping member 84 by the linear motor 96. Obviously, since no other drill rod member is in the retaining member 62 the clamp member 84 will slide toward the linear motor 96 until such engagement occurs. However, in FIG. 5 a second drill rod member 40 having a coupling 42 has been engaged by the coacting jaw surfaces 66 and 92 and being in position to be removed from the drill string, it is desirable that all clamping effort be concentrated to nonrotatably clamp the coupling 42 for unscrewing the threaded joint with the shank 22.
  • jaw surfaces 94 and 68 are not in engagement with the coupling 39 due to the previously mentioned predetermined spacing of the surfaces 94 and 92.
  • a third drill rod member having a coupling portion 116, FIG. 6 is to be removed from the drill string the jaw surfaces 64 and hold only the coupling 116 in nonrotative engagement for performing the uncoupling operation due to the spacing of the surfaces 92 and 90.
  • a particularly advantageous feature of the present invention is the self-energizing character of the clamping member 84 when the threaded joint of a coupling is being unscrewed.
  • the arrow indicates the direction in which the drill motor rotation means tends to rotate the coupling 39 of the drill rod section 38 during the uncoupling operation. Such tendency to rotate will tend also to cause the clamping member 84, engaged with the coupling 39 by the jaw surface 94, to move further toward the linear motor 96. This action will clamp the coupling 39 even tighter between the jaw surfaces 68 on the retaining member 62 and the complementary jaw surface 94 on he the clamping member 84. Rotation of the drill rod section 38 is thereby prevented even when the threaded joints are particularly tight.
  • Suitable manual or power operated means would be used to uncouple the joint of the rod section 38 with the coupling 42 after which the drill motor 20 and rod section would be raised until the lower end of the rod section 38 was above the lower rack member 46 and coincidently the slot 69 on the upper retaining member 62 would be in line to laterally move around the rod section 38 immediately below the coupling 39.
  • the drill rod handling apparatus Upon actuation of the fluid motor 76 the drill rod handling apparatus would be moved in line over the drill string and the rod section 38 would be lowered into the receptacle 52 directly below the opening formed by thejaw surfaces 68 and whereby also the jaw surfaces 68 on the retaining member 62 would substantially circumsurround the coupling 39.
  • the linear motor 96 would then be actuated to move the clamp member 84 into nonrotative engagement with the coupling 39 by clamping the same between the jaw surfaces 68 and 94, FIG. 2.
