Technical Field
The present invention relates to a supercritical fluid drilling and blasting integrated double-arm drill jumbo and a control method thereof, and belongs to the field of tunnel and underground space drilling and cracking construction.
Description of Related Art
The drilling and cracking method is an enduring method in tunnel and underground space excavation. With the increasing labor costs and the increasing requirements for personnel health and the environment of the construction site, the trend of mechanization is becoming more and more obvious. At present, China has achieved mechanization in the basic operations of drilling and cracking. However, the drilling operation is generally carried out by a manually controlled drill jumbo or multi-boom jumbo, and the explosive loading, filling, and blasting operations are also carried out manually. On the one hand, the manual control of the jumbo leads to low efficiency, low drilling precision, over-excavation/under-excavation, and poor quality. On the other hand, the manual loading and filling under the unstable surrounding rock caused by blasting is very dangerous, and the explosive blasting site suffers from severe noise and air pollution. In addition, the two operation lines, i.e., drilling and blasting, are not integrated into one mechanical equipment, resulting in a low degree of mechanization, low construction efficiency, and poor construction quality.
In order to reduce the vibration of the surrounding rock mass, improve the safety of operation and protect the environment of the construction site, novel rock breaking technologies that fracture rock mass by expansion of high-energy gas have been developed. Among others, especially the CO2 phase-change fracturing technology has received extensive attention in the fields of mining, tunneling, and municipal transportation in recent years. However, there is no example of combining such technologies with a drill jumbo for excavation.
