Description

La présente invention concerne un engin de foration mobile, monté sur roues, destiné notamment à l'exécution de travaux souterrains. Cette invention se rapporte, plus particulièrement, à la conception de la partie "porteur" ou "véhicule" de l'engin de foration, qui est du type à châssis articulé.The present invention relates to a mobile drilling, mounted on wheels, intended in particular for the execution of underground works. This invention is relates more particularly to the design of the "carrier" or "vehicle" part of the drill, which is of the articulated chassis type.

On connaít déjà des engins de foration montés sur roues, dont la partie "porteur" ou "véhicule" se compose d'un châssis avant à deux roues, et d'un châssis arrière à deux autres roues, le châssis avant et le châssis arrière étant reliés l'un à l'autre par une articulation intermédiaire autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical. Cette articulation permet de diriger l'engin notamment en virage, l'angle formé par les parties avant et arrière déterminant le rayon de braquage.We already know drilling rigs mounted on wheels, of which the "carrier" or "vehicle" part consists a front chassis with two wheels, and a rear chassis with two other wheels, the front chassis and the rear chassis being connected to each other by a joint intermediate around a substantially vertical axis. This articulation makes it possible to steer the machine in particular in bend, the angle formed by the front and rear parts determining the turning radius.

Dans les réalisations actuelles de ce genre, le châssis avant est habituellement situé entièrement en avant de l'axe d'articulation au châssis arrière ; ce châssis avant porte un ou deux bras de foration. Le châssis arrière est situé entièrement en arrière de l'axe d'articulation intermédiaire, et supporte, quant à lui, l'ensemble des équipements mécaniques, électriques, hydrauliques et autres de l'engin de foration, en particulier : réservoir d'huile, réservoir de gazole, moteur thermique, moteurs électriques, pompe à eau, compresseur, armoires électriques, enrouleur de câble électrique, etc... Selon les réalisations, le poste de conduite et de travail de l'engin, où se tient l'opérateur, peut être porté par le châssis avant ou par le châssis arrière. Des exemples de tels engins de foration montés sur roues, à châssis articulé, sont donnés par les documents EP-A-0203907 et GB-A-2230807.In current achievements of this kind, the front chassis is usually located entirely in front of the hinge pin to the rear chassis; this front frame carries one or two drilling arms. The rear frame is located entirely behind the axle of articulation, and supports, meanwhile, all mechanical and electrical equipment, hydraulic and other of the drilling machine, in particular: oil tank, diesel tank, heat engine, electric motors, water pump, compressor, electrical cabinets, cable reel electric, etc ... Depending on the achievements, the driving and working the craft, where stands the operator, can be carried by the front chassis or by the rear chassis. Examples of such drilling mounted on wheels, with articulated frame, are given by documents EP-A-0203907 and GB-A-2230807.

La conception actuelle de ces engins possède des inconvénients, en particulier lorsque l'engin se trouve en virage, le châssis avant et le châssis arrière formant alors un angle permis par l'articulation intermédiaire. En raison de sa masse et de sa position, l'ensemble des équipements portés par le châssis arrière tend en effet, dans une telle situation, à déséquilibrer l'engin, notamment en réduisant sa stabilité latérale. Pour éviter que l'engin ne soit déstabilisé, l'angle de braquage doit rester relativement limité. Par ailleurs, la conception actuelle impose le passage de nombreuses canalisations hydrauliques à travers l'articulation intermédiaire.The current design of these devices has disadvantages, especially when the machine is in cornering, the front chassis and the rear chassis forming then an angle allowed by the intermediate joint. In because of its mass and its position, all of the equipment carried by the rear chassis tends indeed, in such a situation, to unbalance the machine, in particular by reducing its lateral stability. To avoid that the machine is not destabilized, the steering angle must remain relatively limited. Furthermore, the design current requires the passage of many pipes hydraulic through the intermediate joint.

On connaít aussi, par le document US-A-3823902, un engin de foration monté sur roues, à châssis articulé, dans lequel le châssis arrière est prolongé au-dessus du châssis avant, par une partie du genre plateforme qui supporte le ou les bras de foration, ainsi que le poste de conduite et de travail, réalisé sous la forme d'une cabine pivotante. Dans cette réalisation, le châssis avant ne porte que les deux roues avant de l'engin, et se limite ainsi à un ensemble directeur. Tous les équipements, y compris le ou les bras de foration, sont ici portés par le seul châssis arrière. Il s'agit donc d'un engin dont la répartition des équipements et des masses est très déséquilibrée, entre les châssis avant et arrière.We also know, from document US-A-3823902, a drilling machine mounted on wheels, with articulated frame, in which the rear chassis is extended above the front chassis, by a platform type part which supports the drilling arm (s), as well as the driving and working, realized in the form of a cabin swivel. In this embodiment, the front chassis does not carries only the two front wheels of the machine, and is limited thus to a master set. All equipment, including including the drilling arm (s), are here carried by the single rear chassis. It is therefore a machine whose distribution of equipment and masses is very unbalanced, between the front and rear chassis.

La configuration d'un tel engin a pour conséquence que, lorsque cet engin est en virage, ses points d'appui avant (points de contact des roues avant avec le sol) sont déplacés vers l'intérieur du virage, sans que le centre de gravité de l'engin ne se déplace de manière significative. Ceci entraíne un risque de basculement de l'engin vers l'extérieur du virage, et l'instabilité de l'engin est ici aggravée par le fait que sa structure particulière induit une élévation de son centre de gravité, puisque le ou les bras de foration et la cabine doivent se trouver à une hauteur suffisante au-dessus des roues avant, pour pouvoir pivoter.The configuration of such a device results in that, when this machine is in a turn, its support points front (points of contact of the front wheels with the ground) are moved inside the bend, without the center of gravity of the craft does not shift significantly. This entails a risk of tilting of the machine towards outside the turn, and the instability of the machine is here aggravated by the fact that its particular structure induces an elevation of its center of gravity, since the drilling arm and the cab must be at a sufficient height above the front wheels to be able to swing.

Ainsi, l'engin selon le document US-A-3823902 possède, lui aussi, une grande instabilité latérale en virage. De plus, le fait que le ou les bras de foration de cet engin soient portés par le châssis arrière rend l'engin très encombrant en virage, puisque le ou les bras ne suivent pas la direction prise par le châssis avant, ce qui oblige à ajouter un mouvement d'escamotage du ou des bras.Thus, the machine according to document US-A-3823902 also has great lateral instability in turn. In addition, the fact that the drilling arm (s) of this machine be carried by the rear chassis makes the very cumbersome machine in turns, since the arm (s) do not follow the direction taken by the front chassis, this which requires adding a retraction movement of the arms.

La présente invention vise à éviter tous les inconvénients précédents, en fournissant un engin de foration monté sur roues, du genre ici concerné, qui possède une stabilité latérale accrue en virage, et un encombrement réduit, et qui permet aussi de réduire le nombre de canalisations hydrauliques traversant l'articulation.The present invention aims to avoid all previous disadvantages, by providing a borehole mounted on wheels, of the kind here concerned, which has increased lateral stability when cornering, and reduced size, and which also makes it possible to reduce the number of hydraulic lines passing through the joint.

A cet effet, l'invention a essentiellement pour objet un engin de foration monté sur roues, dont la partie "porteur" ou "véhicule" se compose d'un châssis avant à deux roues et d'un châssis arrière à deux roues, le châssis avant et le châssis arrière étant reliés l'un à l'autre par une articulation intermédiaire autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical, le châssis avant portant au moins un bras de foration et l'engin comportant un poste de conduite et de travail, cet engin étant caractérisé en ce que, pour accroítre sa stabilité latérale en virage, le châssis avant est prolongé vers l'arrière, derrière l'axe d'articulation intermédiaire et au-dessus d'une portion du châssis arrière, ou inversement le châssis arrière est prolongé vers l'avant, devant l'axe d'articulation intermédiaire et au-dessus d'une portion du châssis avant.To this end, the invention essentially has for object a drilling machine mounted on wheels, part of which "carrier" or "vehicle" consists of a front chassis with two wheels and a two-wheeled rear chassis, the front chassis and the rear chassis being connected to each other the other by an intermediate articulation around an axis substantially vertical, the front chassis carrying at least a drilling arm and the machine comprising a driving and working, this machine being characterized in that that, to increase its lateral stability when cornering, the front frame is extended rearward, behind the axle articulation and above a portion of the rear chassis, or vice versa the rear chassis is extended forward, in front of the hinge pin intermediate and above a portion of the front chassis.

Dans une forme de réalisation de l'invention, le châssis avant de l'engin, prolongé vers l'arrière, supporte, outre le ou les bras de foration et le poste de conduite et de travail de l'engin, une partie des équipements notamment électriques et/ou hydrauliques de l'engin. Dans ce cas, de préférence, le châssis avant est prolongé vers l'arrière, au-dessus d'une portion du châssis arrière, jusqu'au-dessus des roues de ce châssis arrière. Le châssis avant, ainsi prolongé vers l'arrière, peut notamment supporter, en tant qu'équipements, le réservoir d'huile et les moteurs électriques de l'engin.In one embodiment of the invention, the front chassis of the machine, extended towards the rear, supports, in addition to the drilling arm (s) and the driving and working the craft, part of notably electrical and / or hydraulic equipment for the craft. In this case, preferably, the front chassis is extended backwards, over a portion of the rear chassis, up to the wheels of this chassis back. The front chassis, thus extended towards the rear, can in particular support, as equipment, the oil tank and the electric motors of the machine.

Le report d'une partie des équipements sur le châssis avant, prolongé vers l'arrière au-delà de l'axe d'articulation intermédiaire, permet de déplacer vers l'avant une partie de la masse de ces équipements. Surtout, lorsque l'engin est en virage, une partie de la masse se trouve reportée vers l'extérieur (par référence au centre de la trajectoire décrite par l'engin), ce qui équilibre l'engin et accroít sa stabilité latérale, par un effet de "contrepoids" qui amène le centre de gravité de l'engin dans une zone favorable à sa stabilité.The transfer of part of the equipment to the front frame, extended rearwards beyond the axis of articulation, allows to move towards the front part of the mass of this equipment. In particular, when the machine is in a turn, part of the mass is carried outwards (by reference in the center of the trajectory described by the machine), which balances the machine and increases its lateral stability, by a "counterweight" effect which brings the center of gravity of the machine in an area favorable to its stability.

On notera que la configuration de l'engin de foration, objet de l'invention, permet de réduire sa hauteur, ce qui contribue à la stabilité de l'engin, et facilite aussi sa circulation en des endroits de hauteur limitée (galeries de mines).Note that the configuration of the drilling, object of the invention, reduces its height, which contributes to the stability of the machine, and also facilitates its circulation in places of height limited (mine galleries).

On peut aussi noter que, pour la même stabilité qu'un engin articulé classique, on peut grâce à l'invention réduire la largeur de l'engin et/ou augmenter sans risque l'angle de braquage, d'où une meilleure maniabilité.We can also note that, for the same stability than a conventional articulated vehicle, we can thanks to the invention reduce the width of the machine and / or increase safely the steering angle, resulting in better maneuverability.

De plus, le report d'une partie des équipements sur le prolongement arrière du châssis avant, surmontant lui-même une portion du châssis arrière, permet de réaliser un engin de foration particulièrement compact.In addition, the postponement of part of the equipment on the rear extension of the front chassis, overcoming itself a portion of the rear chassis, allows make a particularly compact drilling machine.

Par ailleurs, par un choix judicieux des équipements placés sur le châssis avant, l'invention permet de réduire le nombre de canalisations hydrauliques traversant l'articulation entre le châssis avant et le châssis arrière, d'où une simplification constructive et une élimination de certains risques d'incidents.Furthermore, by a judicious choice of equipment placed on the front chassis, the invention reduces the number of hydraulic lines crossing the joint between the front chassis and the rear chassis, hence a constructive simplification and elimination of certain incident risks.

En outre, le ou les bras de foration, étant montés sur le châssis avant de l'engin, suivent la direction prise par ce châssis avant lorsque l'engin décrit un virage, ce qui réduit le rayon de braquage et rend inutile tout escamotage du ou des bras de foration.In addition, the drilling arm (s), being mounted on the front chassis of the machine, follow the direction taken by this front chassis when the machine describes a cornering, which reduces the turning radius and makes it unnecessary any retraction of the drilling arm (s).

La forme de réalisation, précédemment définie, est plus particulièrement avantageuse pour un engin équipé de deux bras de foration, qui représentent ensemble une masse assez importante, concentrée sur la partie avant de l'engin.The embodiment, previously defined, is more particularly advantageous for a machine equipped with two drilling arms, which together represent a mass quite significant, concentrated on the front part of the craft.

Lorsque la masse de la partie avant est plus faible, ce qui est notamment le cas d'un engin pourvu d'un seul bras de foration, l'intérêt est de contrebalancer la partie la plus chargée, donc la partie arrière, toujours pour obtenir la stabilité souhaitée. Dans ce cas, selon une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention, c'est le châssis arrière de l'engin qui est prolongé vers l'avant, devant l'axe d'articulation intermédiaire et au-dessus d'une portion du châssis avant. De préférence, le châssis arrière supporte alors le poste de conduite et de travail de l'engin, et ce poste forme la partie du châssis arrière qui s'étend au-dessus d'une portion du châssis avant. Cette solution, inverse de la précédente, permet aussi la réalisation d'un engin de foration compact et de hauteur raisonnable, dont la stabilité latérale est améliorée.When the mass of the front part is more low, which is particularly the case of a machine provided with a single drilling arm, the interest is to counterbalance the busiest part, so the rear part, always to obtain the desired stability. In this case, according to another embodiment of the invention is the rear chassis of the machine which is extended forward, in front of the intermediate hinge pin and above a portion of the front chassis. Preferably, the chassis rear then supports the driving and work station of the machine, and this post forms the part of the rear chassis which extends over a portion of the front chassis. This solution, opposite to the previous one, also allows the production of a compact and tall drilling machine reasonable, with improved lateral stability.

A cet égard, on notera que, comme le nombre de flexibles hydrauliques est moins important dans le cas d'un engin à un seul bras de foration, il devient alors possible et aisé de faire passer la nappe de flexibles dans l'articulation intermédiaire, sans augmenter la hauteur de l'engin, donc en conservant une bonne stabilité.In this regard, it should be noted that, as the number of hydraulic hoses is less important in the case of a machine with only one drilling arm, it then becomes possible and easy to pass the hose ply in the middle joint, without increasing the height of the machine, so keeping a good stability.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples, deux formes d'exécution de cet engin de foration monté sur roues, à châssis articulé :

    • La figure 1 montre, à titre de rappel de l'état de la technique, un engin de foration à châssis articulé, de conception classique. La partie "porteur" ou "véhicule" de l'engin se compose d'un châssis avant 1 à deux roues 2, et d'un châssis arrière 3 à deux roues 4. Le châssis avant 1 est relié au châssis arrière 3 par une articulation intermédiaire 5, qui définit un axe d'articulation vertical 6. Le châssis avant 1 porte un ou deux bras de foration 7, munis chacun d'une glissière 8 le long de laquelle est déplaçable un appareil de foration 9 du genre marteau perforateur hydraulique. Le châssis avant 1 porte encore le poste de conduite et de travail 10 de l'engin, surmonté par un toit de protection 11. Quant au châssis arrière 3, celui-ci supporte l'ensemble des équipements mécaniques, électriques et hydrauliques de l'engin, regroupés pour la plupart d'entre eux sous un capot, en 12.Figure 1 shows, as a reminder of the state of technique, an articulated chassis drilling machine, classic design. The "carrier" or "vehicle" part of the machine consists of a front chassis 1 with two wheels 2, and from a rear chassis 3 to two wheels 4. The front chassis 1 is connected to the rear chassis 3 by a hinge intermediate 5, which defines a hinge axis vertical 6. The front frame 1 carries one or two arms of hole 7, each provided with a slide 8 along which is movable a drilling device 9 of the kind hydraulic hammer drill. 1 door front frame still the cockpit and work 10 of the machine, surmounted by a protective roof 11. As for the chassis rear 3, this supports all the equipment mechanical, electrical and hydraulic of the machine, grouped for the most part under a hood, in 12.

    Les figures 2 à 4 représentent une première forme de réalisation d'un engin de foration à châssis articulé conforme à l'invention, avec utilisation des mêmes repères numériques que sur la figure 1, cet engin étant muni de deux bras de foration 7 qui, pour la clarté du dessin, n'ont pas été indiqués sur la vue en perspective de la figure 2. Figures 2 to 4 show a first form of an articulated chassis drilling machine according to the invention, using the same references as in Figure 1, this machine being provided with two drilling arms 7 which, for clarity of the drawing, were not shown on the perspective view of the figure 2.

    Comme précédemment, le châssis avant 1 à deux roues 2 porte les bras de foration 7 et le poste de conduite 10 surmonté du toit de protection 11. Selon l'invention, le châssis avant 1 est prolongé vers l'arrière, derrière l'axe d'articulation 6 avec le châssis arrière 3, par une partie 13 qui supporte certains équipements électriques et hydrauliques de l'engin. La partie 13, prolongeant le châssis avant 1 vers l'arrière, s'étend au-dessus de la portion avant 14 du châssis arrière 3, jusqu'au-dessus des deux roues 4 de ce châssis arrière 3.As before, the front chassis 1 to two wheels 2 carries the drilling arms 7 and the pipe 10 surmounted by the protective roof 11. According to the invention, the front chassis 1 is extended towards rear, behind hinge pin 6 with chassis rear 3, by a part 13 which supports certain electrical and hydraulic equipment of the machine. The part 13, extending the front chassis 1 backwards, extends above the front portion 14 of the chassis rear 3, up above the two wheels 4 of this chassis rear 3.

    Les équipements montés dans la partie 13, prolongeant le châssis avant 1 vers l'arrière, peuvent notamment comprendre le réservoir d'huile et les moteurs électriques tels que celui visible en 15. Les autres équipements habituels sont toujours supportés, en 12, par le châssis arrière 3.The equipment fitted in part 13, extending the front frame 1 backwards, can including understanding the oil tank and engines such as the one visible in 15. The others usual equipment is always supported, in 12, by the rear chassis 3.

    Comme l'illustre la figure 4, la position et la masse de la partie 13, prolongeant le châssis avant 1 vers l'arrière, contribuent à la stabilité latérale de l'engin de foration, en cours de virage notamment en cas de fort braquage, correspondant à un angle important entre le châssis avant 1 et le châssis arrière 3.As shown in Figure 4, the position and mass of part 13, extending the front chassis 1 towards rear, contribute to the lateral stability of the machine of drilling, during the turn especially in case of strong steering, corresponding to a large angle between the front chassis 1 and rear chassis 3.

    La figure 5 représente une deuxième forme de réalisation d'un engin de foration à châssis articulé conforme à l'invention, cet engin étant notamment muni d'un seul bras de foration 7.Figure 5 shows a second form of production of an articulated chassis drilling machine in accordance with the invention, this machine being notably provided single drilling arm 7.

    Le châssis avant 1 a deux roues 2 porte le bras de foration 7. Le châssis arrière 3 à deux roues 4 porte les équipements mécaniques, électriques et hydrauliques de l'engin, regroupés sous un capot 12. Selon l'invention, le châssis arrière 3 est prolongé vers l'avant, devant l'axe d'articulation 6 avec le châssis avant 1, par une certaine partie qui s'étend au-dessus de la portion arrière 16 du châssis avant 1, jusqu'au-dessus des deux roues 2 de ce châssis avant 1. The front chassis 1 has two wheels 2 carries the arm of drilling 7. The rear chassis 3 with two wheels 4 carries the mechanical, electrical and hydraulic equipment the machine, grouped under a cover 12. According to the invention, the rear frame 3 is extended forward, in front of the axle articulation 6 with the front chassis 1, by a certain part which extends above the rear portion 16 of the front frame 1, up above the two wheels 2 of this front chassis 1.

    Plus particulièrement, la partie qui prolonge ainsi le châssis arrière 3 vers l'avant est constituée par une portion du poste de conduite 10 de l'engin, ici solidaire du châssis arrière 3. On notera que le toit de protection 11, solidaire du châssis arrière 3, se prolonge lui aussi en avant de l'axe d'articulation 6.More particularly, the part which extends thus the rear chassis 3 towards the front is constituted by a portion of the cockpit 10 of the machine, here secured to the rear chassis 3. Note that the roof of protection 11, integral with the rear chassis 3, extends also in front of the hinge axis 6.

    L'on ne s'éloignerait pas du cadre de l'invention en modifiant les formes de détail des châssis avant et arrière, ou en répartissant les équipements de façon différente entre les châssis avant et arrière, pourvu que soit conservé le principe d'un châssis avant prolongé vers l'arrière, derrière son axe d'articulation au châssis arrière, ou inversement d'un châssis arrière prolongé vers l'avant, devant son axe d'articulation au châssis avant.We would not stray from the scope of the invention by modifying the detail forms of the front chassis and rear, or by distributing the equipment so different between the front and rear chassis, provided that the principle of a front chassis extended towards the rear, behind its hinge pin to the chassis rear, or vice versa from a rear chassis extended towards the front, in front of its axis of articulation to the front chassis.
