Abstract

The invention provides a drill rod handling device (14) which is adapted for attachment to a drill rig assembly (10) which includes a standard rotation unit (12) and a rod holder (13) mounted on top of a feed frame (11) and whic h are used to feed drill rods (25) in and out of the ground. The handling devi ce (14) comprises a carriage assembly (20) which is guided for sliding movement along slide members (19), a head assembly (24) which is designed to receive and support a drill rod (25) and to feed the drill rod longitudinally for screwing and unscrewing of the thread joint while simultaneously gripping same, a swing arm (21) pivotally attached to the carriage assembly and extending laterally therefrom, swivel attachment means rotatably mounting th e head assembly (24) to the outer end of the swing arm (21) for tilt movement about a transverse axis, a swing arm actuator (38) for effecting rotation of the swing arm (21) and the head assembly (24) about a generally longitudinal ly axis, and a tilt actuator (42) for effecting tilt of the head assembly (24), the arrangement being such that a drill rod (25) when loaded onto the head assembly (24) at a side low position, can be bodily moved to a loading position on top of the feed frame and axially aligned with the drill string.

Claims (12)

1. A drill rod handling device adapted for attachment to feed frame of a drill rig assembly of the kind which includes a rotation unit and a rod holder mounted on top of the feed frame and which are used to feed drill rods in and out of the ground, said drill rod handling device comprising;
elongate guide means which extend longitudinally of the feed frame along one side thereof;
mounting means for attaching said guide means to said feed frame;
a carriage assembly guided for sliding movement lengthwise along said guide means;
drive means for effecting said sliding movement of the carriage assembly;
a head assembly comprising a head support frame, holder means for supporting a drill rod on the head assembly, gripper means for gripping the drill rod, when supported by said holder means, and means for feeding the drill rod, when thus supported, longitudinally;
a pivotal swing arm pivotally supported on said carriage assembly and extending laterally outwards therefrom;
swivel attachment means between the head support frame and the outer end of said swing arm whereby the head assembly can tilt relative to the swing arm about a transverse axis;
tilt actuator means for effecting said tilt movement of said head assembly;
swing actuator means for effecting bodily rotation of said swing arm and said head assembly about a generally longitudinal axis;
arranged and constructed so that a drill rod can be loaded, eg manually, onto the head assembly at a side load position relative to the feed frame, and bodily moved to a loading position on top of the feed frame for axial alignment with the drill string.
2. A drill rod handling device according to claim 1 wherein said holder means comprises an elongate support arm extending to opposite sides of the head support frame and attached thereto, and guide members mounted at or adjacent the ends of the support arm for supporting the drill rod at spaced apart locations along its length and for guiding the drill rod longitudinally.
3. A drill rod handling device according to claim 1 or claim 2 wherein said means for feeding the drill rod longitudinally comprises roller means.
4. A drill rod handling device according to claim 3, wherein said gripper means comprises two opposing pivotal rod gripping jaws, each of which houses respective said roller means, said gripping jaws being moveable between open and closed positions by means of an hydraulic power cylinder mounted on the head support frame.
5. A drill rod handling device according to claim 3 or 4 wherein each said roller means comprises an assembly of rollers, at least one of which is driven by means of an hydraulic motor, said rollers when thus driven, being arranged to feed a drill rod axially for screwing or unscrewing of its thread joint.
6. A drill rod handling device according to any one of the preceding claims wherein said guide means comprises a pair of parallel spaced apart elongate guide rails or rods along which the carriage assembly is guided for sliding movement by means of slides.
7. A drill rod handling device according to claim 6 wherein said power drive means for the carriage assembly comprises an hydraulic traverse cylinder mounted to one side of said guide means and extending parallel therewith, said traverse cylinder being arranged to move the carriage in a direction towards or rearwardly away from the rotation unit in the feed frame, whereby the swing arm and head assembly can be moved to a position far enough away from the load/unload position so that they clear the back of the rotation unit on the feed frame and the rod string when making and breaking threads.
8. A drill rod handling device according to any one of the preceding claims wherein said swing actuator rotates the swing arm and head assembly through an arc of approximately 180°.
9. A drill rod handling device according to any one of claims 2 to 8 wherein said guide members on the support arm comprise radial approximately U-shaped supports fixedly attached to at or adjacent the outer ends of the support arm.
10. A drill rod handling device according to any one of the preceding claims in combination with an hydraulic power pack for hydraulically powering the handling device, and a remote electric control panel electrically connected to said power pack for selectively controlling its operation.
11. A drill rod handling device according to any one of claims 2 to 10 wherein the head assembly further comprises drill rod self centering means arranged to permit the support arm and gripper means to rotate about the central axis of the support arm for axially aligning the drill rod with the drill string.
12. A drill rod handling device substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
