- This invention relates to drilling mechanisms and more particularly to improved rotation and feeding means for such mechanisms.
- An object of this invention is to provide an improved drilling mechanism. Another' object is to provide improved rotation and feeding means for a drilling mechanism. Yet another object is to provide an improved To feeding mechanism of the differential screw type whereby the working implement may be fed positively in opposite directions at different speeds. Another object is to provide an improved feeding mechanism of the E differential screw type wherein the feeding mechanism is automatically controlled by the resistance to rotation of the Working'implement and wherein the feed is automatically reversed when the resistance to rotation exceeds a predetermined amount. Yet another object is to provideV improved rotation and feeding means for a rotary type coal drill whereby shot holes may be drilled in the mine wall in an improved manner.
- Fig. 1 is a sectional view Vtaken through the longitudinal vertical center of thedrilling mechanism and illust-rating the illustrative embodiment of the improved rotating and feeding means.
- Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional View taken substantially on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
- Fig. 8 is a detail view illustrating the 43 clutch shipper operating mechanism.
- a drilling mechanism 55 generally designated 1 of improved form carried by suitable supporting means 2.
- This supporting means herein comprises a frame 3 having pivotally mounted thereon,
- a at'4 for swinging movement relative theref3 te, a frame member 5 which carries the drill Serial No. 531,424.
- a shaft 7 driving a bevel pinion 8 meshing, as shown in Fig. '2, with a bevel gear 9.
- This bevel gear is keyed to a shaft 10 preferably arranged with its axis alined with the frame pivot 4 and driving a bevel gear 11 meshing with a bevel gear 12.
- the gear 12 is fixed to a shaft 13 suitably journaled within the drill casing and driving spur gears 14 and 15 of different tooth ratio.
- the gear 14 meshes with a gear 16 which drives through a friction clutch 17 of a usual design the drill rotation means, While the gear 15 meshes with a spur gear 18 which drives through a similar friction clutch 19, the drill feeding means as hereinafter described.
- the gear 16 is keyed to the clutch housing 20 of the clutch 17 and this housing carries a series of clutch plates interleaved with a corresponding series of clutch plates carried by a tubular spider member 21.
- the spider member 21 is journaled at its ends in ball bearings 22, 22 suitably supported Within the drill casing.
- the spider 21 has formed thereon, at its forward end, internal splines 23 which cooperate with splineways 24 formed on the outer periphery of a tubular drive member 25,'the splineways extending lengthwise of the tubular drive member, as shown.
- the member 25 carries at its forward end a chuck 26 of any suitable designV which receives the usual working implement 27 herein an auger drilling tool, the member 25 moving axially through the spider member 21 during feeding of the working implement, as will later be described.
- the friction clutch 17 is normally maintained applied by means of a coil spring 28 acting on a clutch applying member 29 and this clutch applying member is movedintoits released position by means of a pivoted shipper member 30 of a usual design.
- the friction clutch 17 is applied the working implement 27 is rotated through the gearing 14, 16, friction clutch 17, spider 21 and the tubular drive member 25.
- the gear 18 is keyed to the clutch housing 31 of the clutch 19 and this housing carries a series of clutch plates which are interleaved with a corresponding series of clutch plates carried by a spider member 32 similar to the spider member 21 heretofore described and this spider member 32 is mounted on and splined at 33 to a tubular drive member 34, fixed at 35 at its rear end to a feed screw 36, the latter extending centrally within the tubular drive member 25, as shown in Fig. l.
- the member 34 is suitably journaled on ball bearings carried by the drill casing.
- the member has formed integrally therewith at its rear end a feed nut 37 threadedly connected at 38 to the feed screw 36.
- the tubular drive member 34 has formed thereon intermediate its ends, a radial flange 39 interposed between a ball thrust bearing 4() and the adjacent ball bearing in which the tubular drive member 34 is journaled.
- Closing the opposite ends of the drill casing are combined cover plates and bearing retaining members 41 and 42 which each carry a suitable packing ring 43 for preventing leakage of oil from the drill casing.
- the feed friction 19 is normally held in its applied position by a coil spring 44 acting on a clutch applying member 45, and this clutch is released by a usual pivoted shipper member 46.
- the shipper yokes and 46 are respectively provided with arms or levers 48 and 49 having reduced ends projecting within apertures 50 formed within the hollow hub of an operating lever 51.
- the lever 51 is pivotally mounted at 52 on the exterior of the drill casing. Then the lever 51 is in the mid-position shown in Fig. 3, the shipper yokes are in released position and consequently both clutches are maintained applied by the coiled springs 28 and 44.
- the lever 51 is swung to the left the arm 48 is swung upwardly and the arm 49 is swung downwardly and as a result the spring 28 is compressed and the clutch 17 is released.
- the lever 51 is swung in the opposite direction the spring 44 is compressed and the clutch 19 is released.
- the shaft 7 is driven from a suitable source of power, and when the drill is placed at a suitable position adjacent the working face, the operator releases the feed friction 19, and as a result, the working implement 27 is fed forwardly at a relatively high speed until it engages the coal.
- the drill is driven at that time through the gearing 14, 16, friction clutch 17 and the Aspider 21 splined to the tubular drive mem- -ber 25, and as a result the latter is rotated relative to the then stationary feed screw 36.
- the clutch shipper 46 is released by the operator and at that time both clutches 17 and l19 are held in their applied position by the driven through the gearings 14, 16 and 15, 18 respectively and consequently both the drive member 25 and the feed screw 36 are rotated in the same direction.
- the gears 16 and 18 are of different tooth ratio
- the tubular drive member 25 is rotated at a differential speed with respect to the feed screw 36.
- the gearing is so proportioned that when the gears 16 and 18 are simultaneously rotated, the tubular drive member 2", which carries the working implement 27, rotates at a speed materially faster than the rate of rotation of the feed screw 36, and as a result, the member 25 is fed slowly outwardly relative to the feed screw 36.
- the operator releases the rotation friction 17, and, as a result, the feed screw 36 is rotated relative to the then stationary drive member 25 and consequently the tubular drive, member is fed rearwardly at a relatively high speed.
- an unduly hard substance for instance a sulphur ball
- the rotation friction 17 automatically slips, and as a result, when the speed of rotation of the drive member 25 hecomes less than the speed of rotation of the feed screw 36, the working implement is automatically retracted from the face due to the differential action between the two driven elements.

yReferring more particularly toL the drill rotation means, it will benoted that the gear 16 is keyed to the clutch housing 20 of the clutch 17 and this housing carries a series of clutch plates interleaved with a corresponding series of clutch plates carried by a tubular spider member 21. As shown, the spider member 21 is journaled at its ends in ball bearings 22, 22 suitably supported Within the drill casing. The spider 21 has formed thereon, at its forward end, internal splines 23 which cooperate with splineways 24 formed on the outer periphery of a tubular drive member 25,'the splineways extending lengthwise of the tubular drive member, as shown. The member 25 carries at its forward end a chuck 26 of any suitable designV which receives the usual working implement 27 herein an auger drilling tool, the member 25 moving axially through the spider member 21 during feeding of the working implement, as will later be described. The friction clutch 17 is normally maintained applied by means of a coil spring 28 acting on a clutch applying member 29 and this clutch applying member is movedintoits released position by means of a pivoted shipper member 30 of a usual design. When the friction clutch 17is applied the working implement 27 is rotated through the gearing 14, 16, friction clutch 17, spider 21 and the tubular drive member 25.
As shown in the drawing, the gear 18 is keyed to the clutch housing 31 of the clutch 19 and this housing carries a series of clutch plates which are interleaved with a corresponding series of clutch plates carried by a spider member 32 similar to the spider member 21 heretofore described and this spider member 32 is mounted on and splined at 33 to a tubular drive member 34, fixed at 35 at its rear end to a feed screw 36, the latter extending centrally within the tubular drive member 25, as shown in Fig. l. The member 34 is suitably journaled on ball bearings carried by the drill casing. The member has formed integrally therewith at its rear end a feed nut 37 threadedly connected at 38 to the feed screw 36. The tubular drive member 34 has formed thereon intermediate its ends, a radial flange 39 interposed between a ball thrust bearing 4() and the adjacent ball bearing in which the tubular drive member 34 is journaled. Closing the opposite ends of the drill casing are combined cover plates and bearing retaining members 41 and 42 which each carry a suitable packing ring 43 for preventing leakage of oil from the drill casing. The feed friction 19 is normally held in its applied position by a coil spring 44 acting on a clutch applying member 45, and this clutch is released by a usual pivoted shipper member 46. As shown in Fig. 3, the shipper yokes and 46 are respectively provided with arms or levers 48 and 49 having reduced ends projecting within apertures 50 formed within the hollow hub of an operating lever 51. The lever 51 is pivotally mounted at 52 on the exterior of the drill casing. Then the lever 51 is in the mid-position shown in Fig. 3, the shipper yokes are in released position and consequently both clutches are maintained applied by the coiled springs 28 and 44. When the lever 51 is swung to the left the arm 48 is swung upwardly and the arm 49 is swung downwardly and as a result the spring 28 is compressed and the clutch 17 is released. Whenthe lever 51 is swung in the opposite direction the spring 44 is compressed and the clutch 19 is released.
Y 1n the operation of the improved drill rotation and feeding means the shaft 7 is driven from a suitable source of power, and when the drill is placed at a suitable position adjacent the working face, the operator releases the feed friction 19, and as a result, the working implement 27 is fed forwardly at a relatively high speed until it engages the coal. The drill is driven at that time through the gearing 14, 16, friction clutch 17 and the Aspider 21 splined to the tubular drive mem- -ber 25, and as a result the latter is rotated relative to the then stationary feed screw 36. After the working implement 27 is suitably positioned relative to the working face, the clutch shipper 46 is released by the operator and at that time both clutches 17 and l19 are held in their applied position by the driven through the gearings 14, 16 and 15, 18 respectively and consequently both the drive member 25 and the feed screw 36 are rotated in the same direction. As the gears 16 and 18 are of different tooth ratio, the tubular drive member 25 is rotated at a differential speed with respect to the feed screw 36. The gearing is so proportioned that when the gears 16 and 18 are simultaneously rotated, the tubular drive member 2", which carries the working implement 27, rotates at a speed materially faster than the rate of rotation of the feed screw 36, and as a result, the member 25 is fed slowly outwardly relative to the feed screw 36. After the shot hole has been drilled to the desired depth, the operator releases the rotation friction 17, and, as a result, the feed screw 36 is rotated relative to the then stationary drive member 25 and consequently the tubular drive, member is fed rearwardly at a relatively high speed. During the drilling operation, if an unduly hard substance, for instance a sulphur ball, is encountered by the working implement, rotation of the implement is resisted and when the resistance to rotation exceeds a predetermined amount, the rotation friction 17 automatically slips, and as a result, when the speed of rotation of the drive member 25 hecomes less than the speed of rotation of the feed screw 36, the working implement is automatically retracted from the face due to the differential action between the two driven elements. vWhen the working implement is again free to rotate, the speed of rotation of the member 25 is automatically increased and the working implement is again advanced towards the work at a relatively slow speed until it is again resisted, this operation being repeated automatically until the hard material is penetrated. It is therefore obvious that the possibility of breakage of the working implement is materially diminished. The various other uses and advantages of the improved drilling mechanism will be clearly apparent to those skilled in the art.
While there is in this application specifically described one form which the invention may assume in practice, it will be understood that this form of the same is shown for purposes of illustration and that the invention may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit or the scope of the appended claims.
