Introduction to DTH Drilling Rig

 

 

A DTH drilling rig is a percussive rotary drilling rig. Its internal structure is different from general rock drilling rigs. Its gas distribution and piston reciprocating mechanism are independent. The front end is directly connected to the drill bit, and the back end is connected to the drill rod. When rock drilling, the impactor dives into the hole, and the piston (hammer) in the impactor reciprocates to strike the shank through the gas distribution device (valve) so that the drill bit impacts the rock at the bottom of the hole. The high-speed rotation of the impactor in the hole is realized by a motor or a wind-driven rotating device outside the hole through a drill rod connected to the rear end of the impactor. The cuttings produced during the rock drilling process are flushed out of the hole by a mixture of wind and water. The mixed gas is injected into the impactor through the center of the drill rod by the powder discharge mechanism, and then enters the bottom of the hole through the air groove on the impactor cylinder.

Types of DTH Drilling Rig
 

Truck-mounted Coal Bed Methane Multi-function Drill Rig
A truck-mounted coal bed methane (CBM) multi-function drill rig is a specialized piece of equipment that extracts methane gas from coal seams. CBM is a natural gas that is trapped in coal seams during the geologic process of converting plant material into coal. CBM operators extract methane by drilling wells into coal seams and pumping out groundwater.
Truck-mounted Coal Bed Methane Multi-function Drill Rigs are designed for specific drilling environments. The main working parts of the rig are integrated into the chassis of the vehicle, making installation and transportation easy.

 

Overhead DTH Drilling Rig
An overhead DTH drilling rig is a jackhammer that is attached to the bottom of a drill string. The rig uses a hammer at the bottom of the drill rod, which is mounted on the drill bit. Compressed air activates the hammer, which simultaneously rotates and impacts the ground. The fast hammer action breaks hard rock into small cuttings and dust that are then evacuated by a fluid.

 

Diesel-electric DTH Drilling Rig
A diesel-electric DTH drilling rig can be powered by diesel, electric, or hydraulic power.
Diesel-electric DTH Drilling Rig options also include an air compressor, a mud pump, drilling rods of various sizes, connectors, and a drilling tower. Drilling is done using drill bits of various shapes, sizes, and compositions. You can choose between diamond bits, alloy ring-shaped bits, 3-wing alloy bits, PDC bits, and hammer bits. Each drill bit uses different drilling methods, including rotary, percussion, blast hole, and core drilling.

Maintenance Tips for DTH Drilling Rig

 

 

Regularly check the hydraulic oil in the DTH drilling machine:
The DTH drilling equipment is a semi-hydraulic vehicle, that is, except for the use of compressed air for impact, the rest of the functions are realized by the hydraulic system, so the quality of the hydraulic oil is crucial to the normal operation of the hydraulic system.

  • Open the hydraulic oil tank to see if the color of the hydraulic oil is clear and transparent. If it is emulsified or deteriorated, it should be replaced immediately. If the drill rig is used more often, the hydraulic oil should generally be replaced every six months. It is forbidden to mix the two hydraulic oils!
  • The hydraulic oil for the DTH drilling rig is anti-wear hydraulic oil, which contains antioxidants, anti-rust agents and anti-foaming agents, which can effectively prevent the early wear of hydraulic components such as oil pumps and hydraulic motors.

Clean the oil tank and oil filter of DTH drilling machine regularly:
Impurities in the hydraulic oil will not only cause the failure of hydraulic valves, but also aggravate the wear of hydraulic components such as oil pumps and hydraulic motors. Therefore, we have set up an oil suction filter and an oil return filter in the structure to ensure the cycle in the system is clean.
Clean the oil mist device of DTH drilling machine and add lubricating oil in time:
Because the compressed air often contains moisture and the pipeline is not cleaned, a certain amount of moisture and impurities often remain at the bottom of the lubricator after a period of use, which will affect the lubrication and life of the impactor, so when it is found that the lubricator doesn't oil or there is moisture and impurities in the oil outlet or the lubricator, remove them in time. The DTH drill rig uses an impactor to achieve impact drilling. Good lubrication is a necessary prerequisite to ensure the normal operation of the impactor. When adding lubricating oil, you must first close the main intake valve, and then open the impact air valve to remove the remaining air in the pipe to avoid injury.
Be careful about the diesel engine running-in and oil replacement:
Diesel engine is the source power of the entire hydraulic system. It directly affects the climbing ability, propulsion (lift) force, rotary torque, and drilling efficiency of the drill rig. Timely maintenance is the prerequisite for the best efficiency of the drill rig.

Deep drilling: DTH drilling is effective for drilling at significant depths.
Precision: DTH drilling is accurate and reliable, with minimal deviation.
Hard rock drilling: DTH drilling rigs can adapt to hard rock and rock formation conditions.
Efficient: DTH drilling rigs are highly efficient in hard rock drilling.
Stable structure: DTH drilling rigs have a stable and reliable structure.
Fast feeding: DTH drilling rigs have a unique sliding seat and propulsion design that ensures straightness while fast feeding.
Rapid change of drill pipe: DTH drilling rigs have an easy unloading drill pipe device that reduces the labor intensity of workers.
Flushing: DTH drilling rigs use pressurized air for slag flushing, and sometimes air foam for special applications.
Hole accuracy: DTH drilling rigs have a constant energy directly behind bit that provides speed with less power loss and greater hole accuracy.
Hole alignment: DTH drilling rigs have a rigid drill string that improves hole alignment.
Air flow: DTH drilling rigs have an air flow volume that provides efficient flushing and cleaner holes.

Q: How does DTH Drilling Rig work?

A: DTH Drilling Rig uses a mini air or water driven hammer at the end of the drill string. With DTH hammer you can drive down casings or drill rock holes. A rotation unit is part of the drill rig. Air or water are introduced through the drill casing to the drill hammer to drive the piston that strikes the drill bit into the material.

Q: Why Choose DTH Drilling Rig?

A: DTH Drilling Rig has the advantage that the force of the percussion, the active strike on the material, hits directly on the drill bit. Which prevents energy loss through a long drill string. This enables efficient drilling regardless of depth. Which we usually describe saying the hammer doesn't know how deep it is drilling. Using DTH drilling, you can drill a hole several kilometers down.

Q: What are the precautions for operating DTH Drilling Rig?

A: 1. Before use, check the flexibility of the air motor, remove obstacles in the working range of the DTH drilling machine and on the road, and check the passing capacity of the road.
2. Before the operation, check the drilling tool, propulsion mechanism, electrical system, compressor system, air duct, and dustproof device, etc., and confirm that they are in good condition before use.
3. During operation, the vacuum cleaner of the DTH rig machine should be started first, and the sound of the impactor and mechanical operation should be observed at any time. If any abnormality is found, it should be shut down immediately for inspection and troubleshooting.
4. When drilling, sufficient water should be given to reduce dust flying. During the operation, the powder discharge situation should be observed at any time, especially when drilling down the hole, the blowing should be strengthened, and the drilling should be strengthened if necessary.
5. During drilling, do not reverse the motor or rotary reducer, and avoid tripping of the drill pipe.
6. Before adding the drill pipe, the center hole of the drill pipe should be blown clean to prevent dirt from entering the impactor. Do not use drill rods that do not meet specifications or are severely worn. Drill rods that are broken in the hole should be taken out with special tools.
7. When the drilling rig stops working for a short time, a small amount of compressed air should be supplied to prevent rock dust from invading the impactor; if the drilling is stopped for a long time, the impactor should be lifted 1~2m from the bottom of the hole and fixed.
8. The blunt bit should be replaced immediately, and the diameter of the replaced bit shall not be larger than the diameter of the original bit.
9. When drilling, if the drill rod is not advancing and jumping, the impactor should be pulled out of the hole for inspection; when the drill bit is found to fall off the cemented carbide piece, compressed air should be used to force the small pieces to blow out. Block fragments can use rods smaller than the hole diameter, and use yellow mud or asphalt to stick the alloy pieces out of the hole.
10. When the sticking occurs, the shaft thrust should be reduced immediately, and the rotation and flushing should be strengthened to make it gradually normal. If the drill is severely stuck, you must stop the machine immediately, apply torque and tension to the tool to loosen the rotation of the drill, and then lift the drill while supplying air until it returns to normal.
11. In normal operation, when the air pressure is lower than 0.35MPa, stop the DTH drilling machine for inspection.
12. The tightness of the steel wire rope of the propulsion machine should be adjusted frequently, and the reliability of the upper and lower travel switches of the lifting pulley block should be adjusted; if the correct action cannot be performed, it should be repaired in time.
13. During operation, the lubrication of moving parts should be checked at any time, and there must be no shortage of oil.
14. When the drilling rig is displaced, the carriage and the drill boom should be adjusted to maintain the balance of the DTH drilling machine body.
