Abstract
The Overhead Drill and Anchor Press is a single mobile mechanism designed for installation of anchors into a construction surface which is overhead and out of reach of the installer. The overhead drill and anchor press may include a mast, a turret assembly, a controller, and at least one drill. The overhead drill and anchor press can execute the anchor installation sequence automatically or manually with a controller by moving the drill position to drill the hole and set the anchor. The controller may be equipped with a digital display of the turret mounted camera for monitoring the process from the ground. The entire assembly may be manually pushed between target.
Claims18
An overhead drill and anchor press, comprising:
- An onboard controller;
- a cart chassis;
- a mast connected to the cart chassis;
- a motor connected to the mast which when activated by the onboard controller causes the mast to selectively move vertically between a down position and one of a plurality of raised positions;
- a turret attached to the first portion of the mast;
- a first drill connected to a first portion of the turret and a second drill connected to a second portion of the turret;
- a first motor connected to the turret shaft which when activated by the onboard controller causes the turret and the first and second drills to selectively rotate between different rotational positions;
- a second motor configured to move the first drill vertically between a lowered and a raised position;
- a third motor configured to move the second drill vertically between a lowered and a raised position;
- a plurality of wheels connected to the cart chasses;
- and
- a plurality of sensors and switches configured to report measurement data to the onboard controller;
- wherein the onboard controller is configured to control the mast to move the mast to position the turret adjacent to a surface to be drilled, to control the second motor to raise the first drill to a drilling position of the surface to be drilled, to control the first drill to drill a hole in the surface, to control the second motor to lower the first drill away from the surface,
- further wherein the onboard controller is configured with a plurality of sensors, and switches, to control speed of movement of the mast and the pressure the drill exerts onto a drilling surface.
