Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for determining the position of at least one rock reinforcing bolt in a tunnel or a mine, with the bolt installation being arranged to be carried out by means of a drilling rig, with the said drilling rig comprising at least one boom with a first end and a second end, with the said first end being attached to a carrier via at least one articulated connection, and with the said boom being arranged to carry an installation tool. The method comprises the steps of determining a position of the said carrier using means arranged on the drilling rig, determining at least one angle of rotation for the said boom in relation to the carrier by determination of an angle of rotation for the said articulated connection, and determining the position of the rock reinforcing bolt in the tunnel or mine on the basis of the said position of the carrier and the said determined angle of rotation. The invention also relates to an arrangement.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sensor assembly in a gearbox which is used for positioning, where the sensor assembly comprises a relative to the gearbox housing (18) fixed sensor (20), and where the angle between the gearbox housing (18) and the output shaft (26) of a gearbox (14, 16) is measured using a to the output shaft (26) fixed and to the sensor (20) connected shaft (28), whereby a sensor assembly which measures the angle in the gearbox (14, 16) including the play in the gearbox (14, 16) is attained, which gives increased precision at the same time as gearboxes (14, 16) with play can be utilized for accurate angle positioning.
Abstract:
This invention provides a self-contained mobile repair unit (20) having a universal set of hydraulic and pneumatic tooling for servicing well equipment such as an inner pipe string, a sucker rod, or a pump. One or more transducers sense and collect data indicative of one or more parameters measured by the mobile repair unit (20), such as hook load, engine RPM, or tongue -torque. The data is collected and saved in a non-volatile memory device, which is then physically transferred from the mobile repair unit (20) to a central office location, where the data can be compiled, analyzed, and/or posted on a network such as the Internet.

Abstract of the Disclosure A power system includes a power unit, a screw compressor, a hydraulic pump, and a hydraulic control system. The screw compressor is connected to the power unit to be driven thereby for compressing air. The screw compressor has an air intake opening and an adjustable air intake valve mechanism for opening and closing the air intake opening. The hydraulic pump pressurizes hydraulic fluid, and the hydraulic control system is operably connected to the pump and to the air intake valve mechanism for utilizing the pressurized hydraulic fluid to adjust the air intake valve mechanism. The compressed air is delivered to an air reservoir which returns lubrication oil back to the compressor in quantities commensurate with the degree of openness of the air intake opening.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a telescopic feed beam for a rock drill and to a method of measuring a travel length. The pressure surface of a piston (11b) in a feed cylinder (11) of the feed beam is twice as large as the pressure surface of a piston (6b) in a feed extension cylinder (6). Furthermore, the feed beam comprises a flow indicator (19) for measuring the volume flow rate of hydraulic fluid fed and/or discharged, and thereby the travel length.
Abstract:
Method of localizing a hole (11) drilled with a rock drilling machine comprising positioning a boom (3) arranged on a rock drilling rig near the drilled hole with the aid of a positioning system arranged on the rock drilling rig, whereby a digital picture is created by means of a camera (5) arranged on the boom (5), that a distance between the boom (3) and the drilled hole (11) is measured by means of a distance meter (6), that the digital picture (fig 3) is stored in a computer (2), that the stored picture is transformed to a picture containing only black and white parts (fig 4), that the picture with only black and white parts is scanned to find a black part with size within a size interval corresponding to the drilled hole and that the position of the drill hole mouth in the room is determined with the aid of the position of the black part and the measured distance.
Abstract:
A self-contained underground drill rig (10). The rig (10) includes a vehicular drive system in the form of an endless belt tramming system (18) for locomotion of the drill rig (10) and a drilling drive system for driving a drilling machine (11). A hydraulic power system is provided by way of a hydraulic circuit (40) for supplying hydraulic power to operate the vehicular drive system and the drilling drive system. The hydraulic power system is provided to selectively control whether the hydraulic power system powers the vehicular drive system or the drilling drive system. A pair of discrete power sources are provided to independently source power to the hydraulic power system. One power source is an electric motor (24) and the other power source is a fuel powered engine (12). The electric motor (24) is connectable to the installed mine services to deliver power to the hydraulic power system and the engine (12) is self-contained within the drill rig (10) to deliver power to the hydraulic power system from within the confines of the drill rig itself. A fluid supply means including a liquid storage tank (36) and a gas supplying means in the form of a compressor (30) for supplying air under pressure are arranged to supply an air/liquid combination to the drilling machine (11) for flushing the drill thereof, independently of any mine services supplied to the rig.
