TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drilling machinery, and in particular relates to a power head of a rotary drilling rig and a rotary drilling rig.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] The rotary drilling rig with its efficient, fast, environmentally friendly, high-quality boring advantages attained rapid promotion and application. By cooperating with different drills, the rotary drilling rig may be adapted to construction of soil stratum as well as soft and hard stratums in most areas. The drilling manner of the rotary drilling rig generally adopts the wet-type rotary excavation construction method of a static slurry dado and the dry rotary excavation construction method without a stable liquid. For regional soft soil, marine silt stratum and several special strata, it is necessary to perform construction by a full casing rotary excavation construction method.
[0003] The construction by the full casing rotary excavation construction method is beneficial for the rotary drilling rig to improve the drilling efficiency and ensure the drilling quality, and the pile after concrete casting is not prone to such quality problems as necking, reinforcement exposure, and pile concrete segregation. With the gradual maturity of the full casing rotary excavation construction method, the full casing rotary excavation construction method continually gets promoted, in particular several European markets, almost all of which use the full casing rotary excavation construction method to perform rotary excavation construction. The differences between the full casing rotary excavation construction method and the wet-type rotary excavation construction method/dry rotary excavation construction method lie in that the dado uses a steel casing or a combination of a steel casing and a static slurry dado, and thus improves the adaptability of the rotary drilling rig for strata.
[0004] The full casing embedment is the core content of the full casing rotary excavation construction method. At present, the method for embedding a full casing mainly comprises three kinds, which are respectively embedment by a built-in function of a rotary drilling rig, embedment by utilizing a casing oscillator and embedment by utilizing a crawler crane cooperating with a vibration hammer.
[0005] The embedment by utilizing a built-in function of a rotary drilling rig is to pressurize the oil cylinder by utilizing an output torque of a power head of a rotary drilling rig to control the ascending and descending a casing so as to achieve full casing embedment. The process of embedding a full casing by utilizing a built-in function of a rotary drilling rig, which requires less auxiliary equipment and presents a high construction efficiency, is the most economic and the most convenient full casing embedment method at present.
[0006] However, the embedding a casing by utilizing a built-in function of a rotary drilling rig requires a power head to present an output torque that is large enough. For small rotary drilling rigs and large-bore drilling, when a casing is embedded by using an output torque of a power head of a rotary drilling rig itself, there are present with the problems that the construction efficiency is undesirable, the device is damaged in a large extent, and it is even impossible to effectuate driving the casing.

EMBODIMENTS
[0027] Next, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be explicitly and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following descriptions of at least one exemplary embodiment which are in fact merely descriptive, by no means serve as any delimitation on the present invention as well as its application or use. On the basis of the embodiments of the present invention, all the other embodiments acquired by a person skilled in the art on the premise that no inventive effort is involved fall into the protection scope of the present invention.
[0028] Unless additionally specified, the relative arrangements of the components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values expounded in these examples do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that, in order to facilitate the description, the dimensions of various parts shown in the drawings are not delineated according to actual proportional relations. Techniques, methods, and apparatuses known to a common technical person in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, techniques, methods, and apparatuses should be considered as part of the granted description. Among all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as being merely illustrative, rather than as a delimitation. Thus, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference signs and letters present similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in a drawing, there is no need for further discussion in the subsequent drawings.
[0029] In order to facilitate the description, spatial relative terms such as "on...", "above...", "at an upper surface of..." and "upper" may be used here, for describing spatial position relations of one device or feature with other devices or features as shown in the drawings. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to contain different orientations in use or operation other than the orientations of the devices described in the Figs. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, it is described in a way such that a device that is "above a further device or configuration" or "on a further device or configuration" will be afterwards positioned to be "below a further device or configuration" or "inferior to a further device or configuration". Thus, the exemplary term "above..." may include such two orientations as "above..." and "below...". The device may also be positioned and rotated 90 degrees in other ways or situated in other orientations, and the spatial relative descriptions used here are explained accordingly.
[0030] As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 9, the power head 100 provided by the present invention comprises a driving device 110 and a transmission device. The transmission device includes an input shaft 136 operatively connected with the driving device 110, a first output shaft 132 operatively connected with a drilling rod 200 of a rotary drilling rig and a second output shaft 143 operatively connected with a casing driver 300 of said rotary drilling rig. The second output shaft 143 has a first state, in which an output torque of said second output shaft 143 is greater than that of said first output shaft 132 when said driving device 110 drives said input shaft 136 to rotate.
[0031] When it is necessary to perform a full casing embedment, the power head 100 may be manipulated to make the second output shaft 143 be in the first state to output an output torque for driving the casing driver 300 greater than an output torque for driving a drilling rod 200, so that a casing may be smoothly embedded by utilizing a built-in function of the rotary drilling rig, and a high construction efficiency can be achieved.
[0032] The first stage transmission portion and the second stage transmission portion may be provided in series in the transmission device, to effectuate that an output torque of the second output shaft is greater than that of the first output shaft by the second stage transmission portion increasing a torque relative to an output torque of the first stage transmission portion. It may also be effectuated that an output torque of the second output shaft is greater than that of the first output shaft in other manners, for example two transmission trains of different transmission ratios and output shafts corresponding to the two transmission trains are provided within the same transmission case to output different output torques.
[0033] Preferably, said second output shaft 143 has an second state, in which an output torque of second output shaft 143 is zero when said driving device 110 drives said input shaft 136 to rotate. By setting a second state, it may not affect normal rotary excavation construction of the rotary drilling rig when there is no need to drive the casing driver, and it is possible to reduce unnecessary power consumption of the power head 100.
[0034] The shift between the first state and the second state may be achieved in such a manner as to connect or disengage the first stage transmission portion and the second stage transmission portion. The shift between the first state and the second state may also be achieved in other manners, for example, in the case where the input shaft and the second output shaft are driven by a plurality of gears, the shift between the first state and the second state may be achieved in such a manner as to control engagement or disengagement of all or partial gears in the plurality of gears.
[0035] The power head of a rotary drilling rig and the rotary drilling rig according to the embodiments of the invention will be explained below in combination with Fig. 1 to Fig. 9.
[0036] Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a sectional structure of a power head 100 for a rotary drilling rig as well as a drilling rod 200 and a casing driver 300 operatively connected with the power head 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] The input shaft of the speed reducer 120 is connected to the output shaft of the hydraulic motor. Since the output shaft of the hydraulic motor has a high rotation speed, after one-stage speed reduction is realized by the speed reducer 120, the speed of the output shaft of the speed reducer 120 is reduced with respect to the speed of the input shaft of the speed reducer 120, and the torque is increased.
[0040] In the present embodiment, the housing of the hydraulic motor is fixed to the housing of the speed reducer 120 by means of bolts 1911 and washers 1912.
[0041] Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a local sectional structure of the power head 100 according to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, in which the structure of the transmission device is shown. The transmission device is used for converting an output torque of the speed reducer 120 into an output torque of the power head 100 for driving the drilling rod 200 and for driving the casing driver 300.
[0042] As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the transmission device includes a first stage transmission portion 130 and a second stage transmission portion 140.
[0043] The first stage transmission portion 130 includes a first gear transmission train 131, a first output shaft 132, an intermediate output shaft 133, a first transmission case 134, a transmission shaft 135, and an input shaft 136. The first gear transmission train 131 is located within the first transmission case 134. The input shaft 136, the first output shaft 132, and the intermediate output shaft 133 respectively extend from the inside of the first transmission case 134.
[0044] The speed reducer 120 is fixed to the first transmission case 134 by bolts 1921 and washers 1922. The input shaft 136 is connected to the output shaft of the speed reducer 120 so as to be operatively connected with the driving device 110.
[0045] The first output shaft 132 is operatively connected with a drilling rod 200 of said rotary drilling rig. The intermediate output shaft 133 is used for providing power to the second gear transmission train 140 when the power head 100 drives the casing driver 300.
[0046] The first gear transmission train 131 is used for converting an input torque of said input shaft 136 into an output torque of said first output shaft 132 and an output torque of said intermediate output shaft 133. The first gear transmission train 131 is operatively connected to the transmission shaft 135, and the first output shaft 132 and the intermediate output shaft 133 are connected to the transmission shaft 135.
[0047] The first gear transmission train 131 includes a first drive gear 1311 and a swiveling support 1312. The swiveling support 1312 includes an inner ring 1312A, an outer ring 1312B having external teeth, and a rolling element 1312C.
[0048] The first drive gear 1311 is connected to a lower end of the input shaft 136. In the present embodiment, the first drive gear 1311 and the input shaft 136 are integrally structured. The upper end of the input shaft 136 is provided with splines and driven by the lower end of the output shaft of the speed reducer 120 by depending on spline engagement.
[0049] The inner ring 1312A is fixed to the first transmission case 134 by bolts 1393 and washers 1394. The outer ring 1312B is engaged with the first drive gear 1311, and the outer ring 1312B is fixed to the transmission shaft 135.
[0050] The rolling element 1312C is provided between the inner ring 1312A and the outer ring 1312B. The rolling element 1312C may be a ball, a roller or a needle roller. The outer ring 1312B and the transmission shaft 135 are born on the inner ring 1312A and the first transmission case 134, and the rolling element 1312C can reduce a frictional force between the inner ring 1312A and the outer ring 1312B.
[0051] The first output shaft 132 has a first flange, and the first flange of the first output shaft 132 and the outer ring 1312B of the swiveling support 1312 are fixed by bolts 1391 and washers 1392. The upper end of the transmission shaft 135 on the swiveling support 1312 is fixed to the lower end of the first output shaft 132 in a welded manner, and the lower end of the transmission shaft 135 on the swiveling support 1312 is fixed to the lower end of the intermediate output shaft 133 in a welded manner. Thus, in the present embodiment, the rotational speeds and the output torques of the transmission shaft 135, the first output shaft 132, and the intermediate output shaft 133 are the same.
[0052] Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a sectional structure of the power head 100 in an A-A direction according to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, in which the structure of the second stage transmission portion 140 is shown. The second stage transmission portion 140 is used for effectuating that an output torque of the second output shaft 143 is greater than that of the first output shaft 132.
[0053] As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, the second stage transmission portion 140 includes a second gear transmission train 141, an intermediate input shaft 142, a second output shaft 143, and a second transmission case 144. The second gear transmission train 141 is located within the second transmission case 144. The intermediate input shaft 142 and the second output shaft 143 extend from the inside of the second transmission case 144.
[0054] The intermediate input shaft 142 is connected with the intermediate output shaft 133 to receive power from the intermediate output shaft 133. In the present embodiment, a detachable connection between the intermediate input shaft 142 and the intermediate output shaft 133 is realized by the first connection assembly 160.
[0055] The second output shaft 143 is operatively connected with a casing driver 300 of said rotary drilling rig. In Fig. 1, the second output shaft 143 is in a connected state with the casing driver 300. The second output shaft 143 is connected to the casing driver 300 by means of a casing driver connection device.
[0056] The second gear transmission train 141 is used for converting an input torque of the intermediate input shaft 142 to an output torque of the second output shaft 143.
[0057] The second gear train 141 includes a second drive gear 1411, planet gears 1412, and a ring gear 1413.

[0060] The second output shaft 143 is connected to the ring gear 1413. In the present embodiment, the second output shaft 143 has a second flange, the ring gear 1413 is provided with a threaded hole, and the second flange is fixed to the ring gear 1413 by bolts 1491 and washers 1492.
[0061] In the present embodiment, the first output shaft 132 and the intermediate output shaft 133 are in synchronous rotation, and when the intermediate output shaft 133 is connected to the intermediate input shaft 142, the input torque of the intermediate input shaft 142 in synchronous rotation with the intermediate output shaft 133 is converted by the second gear transmission train 141 into the output torque of the second output shaft 143 greater than the output torque of the first output shaft 132. A desired output torque of the second output shaft 143 may be acquired by providing a proper transmission ratio of the second gear transmission train 141. For example, the output torque of the second output shaft 143 may be made to reach twice or more the output torque of the first output shaft 132, so that the output torque of the power head 100 is multiplied to meet the power demand at the time of a full casing embedment.

[0067] The lateral face of an end of the first pin shaft 61 has a stopper protrusion. When the intermediate output shaft 133 and the intermediate input shaft 142 are connected, the intermediate input shaft 142 is sleeved on the outside of the intermediate output shaft 133. Then, an end of the first pin shaft 61 which is not provided with the stopper protrusion is sequentially passed through the intermediate input shaft 142 and the intermediate output shaft 133. The intermediate input shaft 142 is provided with a pin holder at both sides of the pin shaft hole thereof. After the first pin shaft 61 is inserted, the pin 162 is inserted onto the pin holder so that the pin 162 is exactly stopped axially outside one end of the first pin shaft which is provided with the stopper protrusion, so as to prevent disengagement of the first pin shaft 61. Finally, a cotter pin 163 is inserted at a tail of the pin 162 to prevent that the pin 162 is disengaged from the pin holder.
[0068] With the first connection assembly 160, it is possible to effectuate quick connection and quick disengagement of the intermediate output shaft 133 and the intermediate input shaft 142, and improve the operational efficiency.

[0083] In addition, the present embodiment also provides a rotary drilling rig including the power head 100 described above.
[0084] When the rotary drilling rig applies a common construction method for construction, the transmission device only uses the first transmission portion 130, within which the first gear transmission train 131 may reduce an output speed and increase an output torque, to achieve the parameter design requirements needed when the rotary drilling rig performs a common drilling. Among them, the first gear transmission train 131 is operatively connected to the first output shaft 132 and the intermediate output shaft 133, and the first output shaft 132 is rigidly connected to the drive sleeve 150 so that the output torque and speed of the drive sleeve 150 respectively keep consistent with the output torque and speed of the first output shaft 132. In other words, the hydraulic motor drives the first gear transmission train 131 by means of the speed reducer 120 and transmits a torque and speed through the first output shaft 132 and the drive sleeve 150 to the drilling rod 200 so as to drive the drilling rod 200 to rotate and realize a common drilling function of the rotary drilling rig. At this time, the rotary drilling rig performs construction with its own standard torque.
[0085] When it is necessary to perform full casing embedment, the intermediate output shaft 133 of the first gear transmission train 131 is connected to the intermediate input shaft 142 to thereby add the second stage transmission portion 140 to the transmission device. The second gear transmission train 141 of the second stage transmission portion 140 may further reduce a speed output by the first gear transmission train 131, and at the same time increase an output torque to achieve the requirement of increasing a torque of the rotary drilling rig. The hydraulic motor drives two sets of gears of the first gear transmission train 131 and the second gear transmission train 141 by means of the speed reducer 120, to transmit a torque and speed through the second output shaft 143 to the casing driver 300. At this time, the rotary drilling rig performs construction with an increased construction torque on the basis of own standard torque.
[0086] Since the first stage transmission portion 130 and the second stage transmission portion 140 may be completely disengaged, normal rotary excavation construction of the rotary drilling rig may not be affected when the power head 100 is not required to drive the casing driver 300 to perform a full casing embedment.
