Definitions

  • This invention relates to a drill boom for mechanized positioning and feeding of a rock drill, said boom being extendable and pivotably connected to a boom supporting bracket at its rear end.
  • a conventional drill boom supporting a feed shell at its forward end, constitutes together with the feed shell a rigid unit for guiding the rock drill.
  • this unit In order to establish a thorough guiding of the rock drill this unit must be very rigid, which necessitates a very solid and heavy drill boom.
  • the purpose of the invention is to eliminate the fixed rock drill guide so as to reduce the rigidness requirements.
  • Such a drill boom can be made slender and light and because of that specially suitable for working in narrow drifts and tunnels.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a drill boom according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an elevational view of the drill boom shown in FIG. 1 and is schematically illustrating two alternative positions of the same.
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the forward end of the boom.
  • FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section of the forward end of the boom and shows the components of a control system attached to the boom.
  • FIG. 5 is 'a cross sectional view along line VV in FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 shows schematically the drill boom and its control system.
  • FIG. 7 is a longitudinal section of a locking device for a drill boom supporting leg.
  • FIGS. 8-10 show a drill boom according to another embodiment of the invention, whereof FIG. 8 is a longitudinal elevation section of the forward end of the boom and shows the components of the control system.
  • FIG. 9 is a sectional view along line IX-IX in FIG. 8 and FIG. 10 shows schematically the drill boom and its control system.
  • the drill boom consists of a telescopically extendable leg 1, the rear end of which is pivotally mounted on an axle 2 on a boom supporting bracket 3.
  • the boom supporting bracket 3 is rotatably arranged on a frame 4, which is intended to be mounted for instance on a mobile base. (Not shown.)
  • a hydraulic cylinder 6 Between anattachment 5 on the boom leg 1 and the boom supporting bracket 3 there is provided a hydraulic cylinder 6 by means of which the boom is pivotable relative to the boom supporting bracket.
  • the boom leg I is telescopically extendable and consists, as as shown in FIG. 6, of three telescopic tubes la, lb, 1c which are slidably arranged relative to each other.
  • Extension of the boom leg 1 is accomplished by compressed air whereas damping of the boom leg extension movement as well as contraction of the boom leg is accomplished hydraulically. Alternatively, the extension movement could be accomplished hydraulically too.
  • a boom head 7 At the forward end of the boom leg 1 there is mounted a boom head 7 which is pivotable about a transverse stub axle 8 for pivoting in the same plan as the boom.
  • a rock drill 9 Upon the boom head 7 there is rigidly attached a rock drill 9.
  • the pivoting movement of the boom head 7 relative to the boom leg 1 is controlled by a parallel movement establishing device which constitutes an integral part of the control system.
  • the parallel movement establishing device consists of two flow connected hydraulic cylinders 10 and 11, one of which is attached between the boom leg 1 and the boom supporting bracket 3, constituting pilot means 10, whereas the other one is attached between the boom leg 1 and the boom head 7, constituting slave means 1 1.
  • the advantage obtained by this device is that the rock drill 9 is always moved parallelly when the boom leg 1 is pivoted about the stub axle 8 on the boom supporting bracket 3.
  • the rock drill may be positioned in different angles relative to the rotation axis of the boom supporting bracket 3 for drilling of slanted holes and is always retaining this angle relative to said axis when pivoting the boom. (This angle-setting of the rock drill will be described herebelow in connection with the control system.)
  • the rock drill is arranged to be fed along a certain boring axis by a feeding force which consists of pivoting and extension forces applied to the boom leg.
  • a feeding force which consists of pivoting and extension forces applied to the boom leg.
  • the rock drill movement is controlled by continuous sensing of the rock drill position relative to. the boring axis. Corrections of this position are carried out by changing the direction of the composite feeding force.
  • changes in the feeding force direction is accomplished by keeping the extension force constant and increasing or decreasing the pivoting force so that the rock drill is being fed linearly along the boring axis.
  • the control system comprises not only the parallel movement establishing device but also means for sensing of the rock drill position relative to the boring axis and means for correcting this position in accordance with the impulses given by the sensing means.
  • the control system which is shown in FIGS.
  • this sensing device 12 comprises a sensing device 12 which is mounted on the boom head 7.
  • this sensing device consists of a pneumatic valve.
  • pneumatic valves air stream contacts, electrical limit switches and photocells.
  • the boom head 7 is provided with a through channel 13 in which a direction indicating bar 14 is arranged.
  • the forward end of the direction indicating bar 14 is kept in a predetermined position relative to the boring axis by means of a frame work 15.
  • the direction indicating bar 14 is pivotably mounted about an axle 16 at the forward end of the frame work.
  • the frame work 15 is provided with a drill rod centralizer 17 and a spur 18.
  • the purpose of the drill rod centralizer is to keep the forward end of the frame work 15 at a predetermined distance relative to the drill rod.
  • the frame work is fixed by a couple of telescopically extendable and to the boom supporting bracket 3 connected support legs 19.
  • These legs 19 can be locked against changes in length by means of lock devices 20 which are adapted to be activated by compressed air.
  • a locking device is shown in FIG. 7 and consists of a wedge means 21 which is disposed within the smaller telescopic tube and is arranged to force a number of balls 23 against the wider telescopic tube inner wall.
  • the wedge means 21 is activatable by means of a piston 22.
  • compressed air is supplied to the locking devices so as to fix the frame work in its proper position.
  • Another purpose of the legs 19 is to prevent twisting of the boom head 7 and the rock drill 9 about the longitudinal axis of the boom leg 1.
  • the telescopic tubes of the boom leg do not have to be provided with any twist preventing means.
  • the direction indicating bar 14 as well as the side members of the frame work 15 are surrounded by the boom head 7. Between the frame work and the boom head 7 there is arranged a gap large enough to allow a slight transverse movement of the boom head relative to the boring axis. During such a movement the boom head 7 only has contact with the direction indicating bar 14 via a couple of backing rollers 24 and a fork 25 which is connected to the sensing device 12.
  • the frame work 15 and the legs 19 have no positive guiding function for the rock drill during drilling but its only purpose is to constitute a supporting device for the direction indicating bar 14.
  • the frame work 15 is fixed relative to the boom head 7.
  • This fixing is-accomplished by wedge-formed guiding heels 26 and 27 and a latch 28 which are displaced at the rear end of the frame work and which means are cooperating with the boom head as the latter is withdrawn to its rear-most position.
  • the frame work is brought into a position parallel with the boring axis.
  • the spur 18 is then resting against the rock surface.
  • the legs 19 are axially locked.
  • the latch 28 is disengaged by means of a pneumatic cylinder 29 which is activated at the same time as the rock drill starts working (see schedule in FIG. 6). From now on the boom head 7 is in contact with the direction indicating bar 14 only.
  • the direction indicating bar 14 which is kept in its position by the frame work 15 and by the boom head 7 via the backing rollers 24 is parallel with the boom head channel 13 as the rock drill is positioned in alignment with the boring axis.
  • the extension force applied to the boom tends continuously to displace the rock drill upwardly (see FIG. 2).
  • the parallel movement establishing device such a displacement will always be parallel.
  • direction indicating bar 14 will extend an angle relative to the boom head.
  • the direction indicating bar is pivoted about the axle l6 and the rollers 24 and displaces the valve body of the valve 12 out of its neutral position by means of the fork 25.
  • the valve 12 allows compressed air to pass from a supply conduit 30 to a pneumatically shiftable hydraulic valve 31 which then opens to allow hydraulic fluid to flow from a pressure accumulator 32, FIG. 6, through a conduit 33 into the rear part of the cylinder 6 so as cause lowering of the boom.
  • the boom is lowered until the direction indicating bar has returned the valve body to its neutral position by means of the fork.
  • the extension force acts constantly on the boom anyhow and will again displace the rock drill and the boom head upwardly causing the direction indicating bar to shift the valve body downwardly accomplishing another lowering of the boom.
  • suitable restrictions 34-35 put into the hydraulic conduits and by means of sensitive sensing means the above described step by step steering process will be rectified so that a substantially linear feeding of the rock drill is obtained.
  • the direction indicating bar will be tilted, but as the contraction force acting on the boom is constant, the rock drill will be pulled backwardly and downwardly. (This position is shown in FIG. 4). Thereby, the direction indicating bar will shift the valve body upwardly so that the valve will supply hydraulic fluid to the forward end of the cylinder 6 via the pneumatically operated hydraulic valve 31 and the conduit 36 to raise the boom. As the boom is raised high enough the valve body will reoccupy its neutral position and the raising operation is interrupted. However, the contraction force of the boom pulls the boom head downwardly constantly whereby the valve body is displaced upwardly again and the boom is again raised. This step by step process is rectified too, so that a substantial linear withdrawal of the drill rod is obtained.
  • FIGS. 8-10 there is shown a drill boom according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • the drillv boom according to this embodiment is specially adapted for drilling in connection with shaft sinking.
  • This boom is intended to be mounted hanging from the frame 4 with a vertical rotation axis.
  • This version of the drill boom is different from the above described embodiment as the frame work and the direction indicating bar is substituted by a longitudinal box-girder 114 (see FIG. 9).
  • the forward end of this box-girder is pro- I vided with a spur 118 and a drill rod centralizer 117 and is connected to a couple of legs 119 at its rear end.
  • the box-girder is surrounded by the boom head 107 and is adjustable relative to the latter by means of pneumatic press plungers 127 and 128. Such adjustment is made during positioning of the rock drill.
  • these press plungers have the same purpose as the guide heels 26-27 and the latch 28 in the above described embodiment.
  • the box-girder 114 is arranged to be pivoted about its forward end and thereby be displaced at an angle relative to the boom head 107 as the rock drill is parallelly displaced out of its proper position. (Compare the earlier described embodiment). At such a pivoting the box-girder also pivots about the rollers 124 of the boom head and acts upon one of the two sensing means 112a, 112b on the boom head. These means consist of pneumatic valves which acted upon are opened to let compressed air flow to a pneumatically shiftable hydraulic valve 131. Depending on which of the valves being actuated the hydraulic valve will be shifted to cause pivoting of the boom either to or from its vertical rotation axis. By such a continuous sensing and correction of the rock drill position relative to the boring axis there is obtained a substantial linear movement of the rock drill during feeding and withdrawal of the drill rod.
  • the drill boom according to the invention is provided with manually operated control valves by means of which the boom is manually controlled.
  • control systems of the two described embodiments are identical (see FIG. 6 and FIG. 10). Yet, the drill boom according to the last described embodiment is provided with an extra control valve 180 for alternative supply of compressed air to the sensing means and the press plungers.
  • the boom In positioning the rock drill for drilling along a cer' tain boring axis the boom is pivoted about the axle 2 on the boom supporting bracket 3 by means of a cylinder 6 and is extended by movement of the boom leg telescopic device for positioning of the rock drill on the proper radius relative to the rotation axis of the boom supporting bracket 3. Moreover, the boom and the boom supporting bracket is rotatable for moving the rock drill along an arc the center of which is coincident with the rotation axis of the boom supporting bracket.
  • pneumatic valves 37, 38 To establish manual pivoting of the boom about the boom supporting bracket there is provided pneumatic valves 37, 38. These valves can be opened for compressed air supply to the pneumatically shiftable hydraulic valve 31 and depending on which of these valves being opened the hydraulic valve supplies the cylinder 6 with hydraulic fluid via the conduits 33 and 36 establishing pivoting of the boom either to or from the rotation axis of the boom supporting bracket 3.
  • a hydraulic valve 39 By means of this valve the forward facing piston surfaces of the telescopic device are alternatively connectable to a pressure fluid source or to the exhaust. The backward facing piston surfaces of the telescopic 'device are permanently connected to the compressed air source. Whereby the extension and contraction movements of the boom leg are controlled by regulating of the flow in the hydraulic circuit. This regulating is carried out by means of the valve 39. Moreover, the feeding force rate is changable by regulating the compressed air pressure in the telescopic device. Means for this regulating purpose are not shown.
  • the rotation of the boom is accomplished by two hydraulic cylinders 40 and 41 alternately acting on a crank pin 42 on the rotation axle of the boom supporting bracket 3. (See FIGS. 1, 6 and 10.)
  • the alternating order of the hydraulic cylinders is controlled by two control valves 43, 44 which are acted upon by a cam disc 45 attached to the rotation axle.
  • the hydraulic fluid supply to these valves and cylinders are controlled by a valve 46.
  • the drill boom according to the invention makes it also possible to position the rock drill for drilling holes which form angles with the rotation axis of the boom. This positioning possibility is obtained by changing the relationship between the hydraulic cylinders 10 and 12 of the parallel movement establishing device and is carried out by operating the valve 41.
  • the pressure fluid source of the drill boom hydraulic systems consists of a hydraulic pump 48 which is driven by a pneumatic motor 49.
  • the hydraulic circuit is, however, not directly connected to the hydraulic pump 48.
  • this pressure accumulator consists of a piston-cylinder device one end of which is connected to the hydraulic pump.
