一 前期調研
鉆孔機械是地下水開采及基本建設基礎施工必不可少的設備, 鉆機產品也隨之進入快速發(fā)展的階段。近年來, 國內的許多廠家相繼生產出各種形式的反循環(huán)鉆機, 應用于全國各地的橋梁、建筑、水利等工程施工過程中。但從現有的國產沖擊反循環(huán)鉆機的使用情況來看, 仍存在一些問題需要認真討論與分析, 并在技術上作出相應的改進和提高, 才能更有利于我國鉆機制造業(yè)的發(fā)展, 并但從現有的國產沖擊反循環(huán)鉆機的使用情況來看,進一步提高我國同類鉆機的設計和制造水平。其中錨桿鉆機是實現錨桿支護技術的重要機械設備,隨著錨桿支護技術的飛速發(fā)展,用于鉆鑿錨桿孔的錨桿鉆機也得到了快速發(fā)展。展望它的發(fā)展,有助于不斷促進錨桿鉆機設備的技術進步,使其更加適應現代支護技術的需要。
以往鉆機的設計研制過程,比較注重鉆機本身的輸出特性,一味通過追求盡可能大的轉速和轉矩來提高鉆機的破巖鉆進能力。但對于單體錨桿鉆機來說,要求體積小,重量輕,因而不能無限止地提高轉速、轉矩和推力。只有最大限度地提高鉆機輸出功率的利用率,即提高破巖鉆削效率,才能在有限的輸出功率下取得較高的鉆進速度。
隨著錨噴支護技術的推廣和應用,作為錨噴施工工具的錨桿鉆機的優(yōu)劣直接影響著錨桿孔施工和生產效率,錨桿鉆機按動力源分電動錨桿鉆機、氣動錨桿鉆機和液壓錨桿鉆機。其中電動錨桿鉆機的輸出特性較差,鉆孔速度低,電機可靠性及防水性存在嚴重問題,尚無良好的推進方式。近期尚難大量用于井下錨桿支護; 國產氣動錨桿鉆機的水平逐步提高,齒輪氣動馬達式已基本能代替進口產品,但玻璃鋼支腿等部分的可靠性應進一步提高;柱塞馬達式錨桿鉆機尚處于小批量生產階段,尚需進一步考核; 液壓錨桿鉆機輸出的扭矩高于氣動錨桿鉆機,與掘進機配套是較優(yōu)越的工作方式。但輸出扭矩仍然偏低,液壓系統(tǒng)容易發(fā)熱。由于以礦物油為工作介質,在煤礦井下使用中存在安全隱患。由于液壓錨桿鉆機具有扭矩大、鉆削破巖性好等特點,從而得到推廣應用。

三 設計目的
隨著液壓鉆孔機械十幾年的發(fā)展與實踐,日益顯示了其優(yōu)越性,打破了長期以來氣動鉆機的統(tǒng)治地位。與氣動鉆孔機械相比,液壓鉆機鉆孔速度提高兩倍以上,噪聲降低20-25dB,功率消耗降低1/3,消除了工作面的油霧和水汽。近年來國內外液壓鉆孔機械的發(fā)展相當迅速,品種(或型號)不斷增加,更新?lián)Q代速度也很快。
隨著國民經濟的高速發(fā)展,為滿足地質災害治理及各種基本建設的需要,特別是西部大開發(fā)的進行,大型建筑、高速公路和地質災害治理工程的上馬,特別是三峽工程,小灣、龍灘水電工程等大型水力工程的進行,對巖土錨固鉆機的需求量越來越大,同時對其性能的要求也越來越高。液壓鉆機由于其布置靈活,鉆進參數調整簡易,早已成為國外鉆機廠的主導產品。以往液壓錨桿鉆機,整個體積較大,分體性能不好,造價較高,特別是目前西部大開發(fā)建設中的幾處大型水電工程,其邊坡治理、巖土錨固都是在高邊坡上進行的,有的搭架高達100m。為此,在以往液壓錨桿鉆機的基礎上,研制、開發(fā)MG100型液壓錨固鉆機。

2 設計思路:
本課題所涉及的錨桿鉆機液壓系統(tǒng)設計是液壓錨桿鉆機的重要組成部分,它意在研究液壓錨桿鉆機的液壓原理與輔助部分,總體方案包括主機和泵站的液壓部分及接頭與管路等。主機的液壓部分主要由液壓馬達、沖擊液缸、主臂液缸、回轉液缸及支腿液缸等組成,液壓泵站主要由液壓泵、溢流閥、油箱和濾油器等組成。液壓馬達、沖擊液缸和支腿作為鉆機的執(zhí)行元件,其中前兩個中一個作旋轉運動,輸出扭矩;一個作直線運動,起到沖擊碎石機加壓的功能,支腿也作直線運動,作為鉆機工作時的支撐。主臂液缸及回轉液缸起到確定鉆進位置及固定鉆桿的功能,通過它們可以實現在固定鉆機底盤的情況下,方便的改變鉆進位置。液壓泵站為液壓系統(tǒng)提供具有一定壓力的液壓油。通過對錨桿鉆機液壓系統(tǒng)設計,進而更好的推進液壓錨桿鉆機的推廣應用。

摘 要
隨著高、重、大建筑的增多,錨桿支護技術應用越來越廣泛,隨之鉆鑿錨孔的錨桿鉆機也得到了快速發(fā)展。
本文針對現有錨桿鉆機存在的堅硬夾層及堅硬圍巖等的不適應問題,在收集、查閱大量資料的基礎上,提出了沖擊旋轉式液壓錨桿鉆機方案,并對其進行設計研究,因錨桿鉆機的機構比較復雜,所以重點放在錨桿鉆機的液壓系統(tǒng)設計。首先,在對沖擊旋轉鉆孔破巖機理進行分析的基礎上,結合沖擊旋轉式液壓錨桿鉆機的總體方案設計,制定出沖擊旋轉式液壓錨桿鉆機的液壓工作原理方案,并對組成液壓系統(tǒng)的各個子系統(tǒng)的原理和特點作了詳細的分析。在此基礎上,對錨桿鉆機的液壓動力裝置和系統(tǒng)原理進行了具體設計,通過計算選取了各主要元件,利用三維設計軟件進行管路連接和系統(tǒng)布置。
關鍵詞:錨桿鉆機;液壓系統(tǒng);回轉沖擊器

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the supporting of underground mine roofs and, more particularly, is directed towards an apparatus for drilling holes in the roof of a mine and for inserting roof bolts into such holes.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In underground mines, the roof is supported by roof bolts which are inserted into holes drilled into the roof strata. An apparatus for drilling holes having a depth substantially greater than the height of the mine passageway in which the apparatus is located is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,057,115. An apparatus for inserting roof bolts into the drilled holes is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,003,233.
Although progress has been made in roof bolting apparatus, roof bolting remains one of the most hazardous mining occupations for several reasons. The operator inserting the roof bolt is stationed inby at an area in which the roof is unsupported. It is the operator's task to drill and to insert roof bolts in this unsupported area. Consequently, the operator is exposed to the hazard of having sections of the unsupported roof fall on him. Mine personnel have been injured by flying objects from the exposed rotating drill steel and tools employed to tighten the roof bolts. Workers are also exposed to the risk of being caught on and pulled into the rotating portions of the mining apparatus.
Attempts to develop roof bolters which are capable of remotely installing bolts have been met with limited success even for the simplest case when the bolts are shorter than the height of the mine passageway. Such attempts have resulted in complex and costly systems which suffer from low reliability due to many moving parts and continual readjustment. A need has arisen for an improved roof bolting system which does not suffer from the heretofore mentioned disadvantages.
What is claimed is:
1. An operator controlled roof bolting system for drilling holes in the roof strata of a mine and for inserting roof bolts into the drilled holes while the operator is in a safe area, said system comprising:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a roof bolting system which does not suffer from the heretofore mentioned disadvantages and limitations. A further object of the invention is to provide a simple and reliable roof bolting system for remote drilling and insertion of roof bolts, particularly bolts that are longer than the height of the mine passage.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simple and reliable roof bolting system with an outby operator's station for remote drilling and insertion of roof bolts in which an inserter is moved rearwardly towards an operator for reception of the bolt rather than having the bolt fed forwardly to the inserter from the operator. Such a system includes a rugged mechanism for moving the inserter which is simpler and more reliable than bolt feed systems.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an operator controlled roof bolter with a flexible shaft roof drill or other longer than seam height drill and a roof bolt inserter for drilling and inserting a roof bolt into an unsupported roof of a mine while the operator is outby and is positioned under a supported roof. The flexible shaft roof drill is mounted to a frame of the roof bolter and is constrained for pivoted movement between a rest position and a working position. The roof bolt inserter is configured to bend and feed roof bolts having a length that is greater than the height of the mine passageway. A head of the roof bolt inserter is mounted on a slide for linear movement and limited rotational movement between a retracted position and an extended position in order to align the advancing roof bolt with a hole drilled in the roof strata of the mine by the flexible shaft roof drill. In the retracted position, the inserter is in place to receive a roof bolt from an operator without requiring the operator to leave a supported or safe area. The hole is drilled when the roof drill is in its working position. Upon completion of the drilling step, the roof drill is pivoted to its rest position and the roof bolter inserter is moved to its extended position. A controller is provided for aligning the roof bolt and the drilled hole. A hydraulically actuated plate pushes the inserted roof bolt further into the drilled hole. A torquer engages the inserted roof bolt and tightens the roof bolt to effect the roof support.
