Description

  The present invention relates to an attitude control device for a drilling machine, and more particularly to a technique for expanding a drilling range when performing a front horizontal drilling.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this type of drilling machine, there is known one in which a boom composed of a link mechanism is attached to a vehicle such as a crawler and a guide cell is mounted on the tip of the boom (for example, see Patent Document 1). According to such a drilling machine, it is possible to take not only the vertical direction but also the horizontal excavation posture by the operation of the hydraulic cylinder. However, such a drilling machine can be said to be a universal type that enables excavation in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction.

  On the other hand, a drilling machine for the purpose of excavating forward in a small-diameter tunnel is also known (see, for example, Patent Document 2). This drilling machine is specialized for horizontal excavation, but has the disadvantage that the excavation range is narrow.

That is, an attitude control device for controlling the attitude of a drilling machine having a drill head that travels along a guide cell,
Base and
Pantograph mechanism provided on this base,
A support member provided on the pantograph mechanism, on which the guide cell is mounted;
An elevating operation member for elevating and lowering the pantograph mechanism ,
The pantograph mechanism is composed of a pair of X links having a first link and a second link, the middle part of which is pivotally supported.
The support member includes a first beam and a second beam provided between the upper ends of the first links and between the upper ends of the second links.
The first beam and the second beam are both movable in the length direction, and a beam actuating member for moving the first beam and the second beam is provided.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the posture control device according to the present invention is a support device that enables the drilling machine 1 to take various excavation postures, and includes a base 4 and a pantograph mechanism 5. The hole drilling machine 1 is a well-known one and includes a guide cell 2 and a drill head 3 that travels on the guide cell 2. The drill rod 21 is attached to the drill head 3 and the drill head 3 travels forward, thereby making a hole in the natural ground (see FIG. 8).

  In this embodiment, the base 4 is formed in a rectangular frame shape, and is composed of front and rear frame portions 4a and 4b and side frame portions 4c and 4c as shown in a schematic structure in FIG. The pantograph mechanism 5 includes a pair of X links 6 and 7. The X links 6 and 7 are composed of two links, ie, first links 6a and 7a and second links 6b and 7b, whose intermediate portions are pivotally supported via a common shaft 8. A guide cell 2 is mounted on the top of the pantograph mechanism 5.

  The lower ends of the first links 6a and 7a of the X links 6 and 7 are pivotally supported by the front frame portion 4a. The lower ends of the second links 6 b and 7 b of the X links 6 and 7 are connected to each other via a shaft 9. Both ends of the shaft 9 are movable in the horizontal direction along the guide grooves 10 formed in the side frame portions 4c and 4c. That is, the lower ends of the first links 6a and 7a are fixed ends that are only allowed to rotate and cannot be horizontally moved (slided), and the lower ends of the second links 6b and 7b are movable ends that can be rotated and horizontally moved. .

  A hydraulic cylinder 11 is disposed between the shaft 9 and the rear frame portion 4b. The shaft 9 is reciprocated in the horizontal direction by the expansion and contraction operation of the hydraulic cylinder 11, so that the pantograph mechanism 5 is expanded and contracted in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the first link 6 a, 7 a and the second link 6 b, 7 b are divided above the pivot portion (the shaft 8) and are linked to the link lower portion 12 and the link lower portion 12 that are pivotally supported to each other. It consists of an upper part 13. A hydraulic cylinder 14 is disposed between the link lower portion 12 and the link upper portion 13, and the first link 6 a, 7 a and the second link 6 b, 7 b are bent by the operation of the hydraulic cylinder 14.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the upper ends of the first links 6a and 7a and the upper ends of the second links 6b and 7b are connected by a cylinder tube 16 of a hydraulic cylinder 15 (FIG. Only cylinder 15 is shown). The hydraulic cylinder 15 has two piston rods 17 and 17 protruding from both ends of the cylinder tube 16. End portions of the piston rods 17 and 17 are connected to both end portions of the first and second beams 18a and 18b.

  More specifically, the first and second beams 18a and 18b have hanging portions 19 and 19 at both ends, and the end portions of the piston rods 17 and 17 are pivotally supported by the hanging portions. Therefore, the first and second beams 18 a and 18 b can move in the length direction of the beams 18 a and 18 b by the operation of the hydraulic cylinder 15. The guide cell 2 is supported on the first and second beams 18a and 18b so as to be orthogonal to the beams.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a swivel base 20a and a spherical seat 20b are disposed between the first and second beams 18a and 18b and the guide cell 2, respectively. Therefore, the guide cell 2 is rotatable in a predetermined angle range in the horizontal direction with respect to the first and second beams 18a and 18b.

Next, the attitude change of the drilling machine by the attitude control device will be described.
(1) Elevation As shown in FIG. 1, when the hydraulic cylinder 11 is operated, the pantograph mechanism 5 expands and contracts. Thereby, the guide cell 2 moves up and down.

(2) Tilt As shown in FIG. 1, when one of the hydraulic cylinders 14, 14 is extended and the other is shortened, one of the first links 6a, 7a and the second links 6b, 7b bends. As a result, the guide cell 2 tilts in the front-rear direction.

(3) Lateral slide When the two hydraulic cylinders 15 shown in FIG. 5 are operated in the same direction, the first and second beams 18a and 18b move horizontally in the same direction as shown in FIG. Thereby, the guide cell 2 slides sideways.

(4) Swing When the two hydraulic cylinders 15 shown in FIG. 5 are operated in opposite directions, the first and second beams 18a and 18b move in opposite directions as shown in FIG. As a result, the guide cell 2 swings by a predetermined angle from the neutral position shown in FIG. 7 (b) clockwise (a) or counterclockwise (c).

  FIG. 8 shows the excavation range due to the posture change as described above, (a) shows the excavation range A seen from the side, and (b) shows the excavation range B seen from the front.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since the guide cell of the hole drilling machine is mounted on the pantograph mechanism and moved up and down by its expansion and contraction, not only low-level excavation is possible, but also the excavation range in the height direction Can be spread. Further, since the first and second links of the X link constituting the pantograph mechanism are freely bendable, the drilling machine can be tilted, and excavation obliquely downward or obliquely upward is possible.

  Furthermore, since the first and second beams supporting the guide cell are movable in the length direction, the horizontal drilling operation of the drilling machine is possible, and the horizontal excavation range can be expanded. Further, since the guide cell is pivotally mounted on the first and second beams, the drilling machine can swing and can excavate in a horizontal oblique direction.

  The above embodiment is merely an example, and the present invention can take various aspects. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder is used as the operating member that expands and contracts the pantograph mechanism, but a rack and pinion mechanism can also be used.
