  • Patent number: 12584356
    Abstract: A power head of a directional drill includes a main motor, gearbox, main shaft, active drill pipe, and water swivel. The gearbox has a driving shaft connected to the main motor and engaged with the main shaft via a gear. One end of the main shaft is fixedly connected to the active drill pipe, while the other end of the driving shaft links to an angle adjuster through the gearbox, enabling efficient toolface adjustment and braking of the main motor. The water swivel mandrel connects to the active drill pipe via a connecting shaft with an axial floating structure. A connecting sleeve near the water swivel forms a hexagonal sleeve sliding pair with the connecting shaft, preventing axial impacts on mandrel support bearings during drilling. This design enhances the service life of the bearings and reduces equipment repairs, improving the reliability and efficiency of the drilling process.

  • Patent number: 12523101
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotation angle control and braking device for a power head of a directional drill, belonging to the technical field of coal mine drills. It includes a transmission shaft, driving piston, fixed toothed disk, moving toothed disk, end cover, rotary seat, connecting seat, and a rotary speed reducer with a self-locking function. One end of the transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the drill's driving shaft. The fixed and moving toothed disks are sheathed on the transmission shaft, with springs placed between the moving toothed disk and the end cover. Skewed teeth between the disks engage under spring action. By injecting oil into a sealing cavity between the connecting seat and driving piston, the driving piston moves the moving toothed disk to disengage the skewed teeth. The rotary seat, fixed to the moving toothed disk, connects to the rotary speed reducer's output disk, enabling controlled rotation.

  • Patent number: 12509943
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a combined drilling system with double rotary driving devices and a control method, belonging to the technical field of coal mine drills. The other end of a driving shaft in the gearbox connects to an adjuster, which includes a transmission shaft, fixed toothed disk, moving toothed disk, rotary seat, end cover, and a rotary speed reducer with a self-locking function. One end of the transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the driving shaft. The fixed and moving toothed disks are sheathed on the transmission shaft, with the fixed toothed disk engaged with the moving toothed disk through skewed teeth. The moving toothed disk is rotationally connected and can slide axially along the transmission shaft. The rotary seat is fixedly connected to the moving toothed disk, while the rotary speed reducer's output disk is coaxially fixed to the rotary seat, enabling controlled rotation.

  • Patent number: 12448847
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coal mine intelligent directional drill and its drilling method, belonging to the technical field of coal mine drills. It comprises a moving platform, machine frame, clamper, main manipulator, power head, drill pipe storage system, control system, and hydraulic system. The power head structure is improved by adding an angle adjuster with accurate angle adjustment, locking, and anti-rotation functions. The angle adjuster is positioned on the gearbox side opposite the main motor, connected via a driving shaft. The control system includes a toolface azimuth detection and initialization system that works with the angle adjuster. This solves prior issues such as the absence of specialized toolface azimuth adjustment devices, low precision, low track adjustment efficiency, and challenges in achieving automatic directional drilling in the prior art. The invention enhances precision and efficiency, enabling automated, intelligent directional drilling.
