As the core equipment in the infrastructure construction, the technical innovation of rotary drilling rig is closely related to the market demand. With the acceleration of urbanization, stricter environmental protection policies and the penetration of intelligent technologies, rotary drilling RIGS are becoming more efficient, intelligent and sustainable. Combined with the current industry dynamics and technological breakthroughs, its development trend is mainly reflected in the following five aspects:
1. Intelligence: from automation to autonomous decision-making
Intelligence is the core direction of the development of rotary digging drill. At present, the intelligent system with the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G communication and artificial intelligence (AI) as the core has been gradually applied to rotary drilling RIGS.for instance:
-Construction expert system: conduct real-time analysis of geological data through AI algorithm, automatically adjust drilling parameters (such as speed and torque) to ensure construction accuracy and efficiency.
-Remote control and unmanned operation: With the help of 5G low-latency communication, operators can achieve accurate control through remote terminals and reduce the risk of on-site operation.
-Predictive maintenance: uses sensors to monitor the status of the equipment, predict faults through big data analysis, and reduce downtime.
2. Modularity: Flexible adapter and rapid deployment
Modular design becomes the key to enhance the market competitiveness. The chassis, power system, working device and other components of the modern rotary drilling rig adopt the standardized interface, and the user can quickly replace the module according to the engineering requirements.for instance:
-Diversified power modules: diesel power, pure electric or hybrid modules can be switched flexibly to meet the environmental requirements of different scenarios.
-Multi-function working device: equipped with screw drill, short screw drill, barrel drill and other modules, to adapt to the complex strata such as soft soil, hard rock, etc.
3. Environmental protection and energy saving: green power and low emission
Driven by the “double-carbon” target, the environmental performance of the rotary drilling rig has become a mandatory requirement. The latest technologies include:
-New energy power: SINOVO and other enterprises have launched pure electric rotary drilling RIGS to achieve zero emissions and noise reduction by more than 60%.
-Energy recovery system: The hydraulic system is optimized to convert braking energy into electric energy storage, and reduce energy consumption by about 20%.
-Biodegradable hydraulic oil: reduce soil pollution from oil leakage in comply with European Stage V emission standards.
4. High reliability: material innovation and adaptability improvement
For harsh working conditions, rotary drilling rig improves reliability through technical upgrading:
-High strength materials: key structural parts of the materials using wear-resistant alloy steel or composite materials to ensure product quality.
-Intelligent temperature control system: in low temperature or high temperature environment, the system can automatically adjust the hydraulic oil temperature to ensure the stability of the equipment.
-Anti-vibration design: optimize the chassis suspension system to reduce the impact of complex terrain on the equipment.
5. High efficiency: a double breakthrough in construction speed and quality
High efficiency is reflected in the construction efficiency and quality control:
-Multi-drill bit joint operation: realize synchronous drilling through multi-arm design, shortening the construction period by 30%.
-BIM integration: Combined with the building information model (BIM), plan the drilling path in advance to reduce the rework rate.
-Real-time quality monitoring: the laser clinometer is linked with the cloud data platform to ensure that the verticality error of the hole formation is less than 0.5%.
Future expectations
The technological evolution of rotary drilling rig is not only the upgrade of mechanical manufacturing, but also the integration of digitalization, greening and humanization. With the further development of artificial intelligence and new energy technology, the future rotary drilling RIGS will be fully independent construction, and promote the carbon neutrality of the industry through carbon footprint tracking technology. In this process, Chinese companies are gradually leading the global market by virtue of technological innovation and rapid response capabilities.
