Abstract:

In response to the limitations posed by singular longitudinal or torsional vibration‐assisted rock drilling, a combined longitudinal‐torsional vibration‐assisted rock drilling scheme was proposed. Firstly, the theoretical model of the scheme is analyzed. Then, DEM (discrete element method ) simulations using EDEM (event driven execution manager) software are conducted to simulate the drilling mechanism and effects on rocks under various conditions. Results indicate that the addition of combined longitudinal‐torsional vibration assistance decreases the maximum resultant force on the drill bit by 36.45%, 9.34% and 32.84%, respectively, compared to zero vibration, longitudinal vibration, and torsional vibration schemes. Moreover, drilling speeds increase by 26.02%, 4.27% and 16.13%, respectively. Finally, experimental validation of the proposed scheme’s drilling performance reveals a 35.48% reduction in the drill head’s support strain and a 31.25% increase in the drilling speed when compared to solely adding torsional vibration assistance. It is demonstrated that the combined longitudinal‐torsional vibration‐assisted method can significantly enhance the efficiency of rock drilling.
