Abstract
A taphole boring machine serving two tapholes includes a support structure, a mount and a suspension device of which the mount is secured on the supporting structure and the suspension device has a tilting device for the mount with the suspension device further including a mechanism within a frame, a first drive and two connection points with a mechanism designed in such a way that a positively guided translation of two connection points in relation to the frame can be produced by a drive pulse of the first drive so that a connecting line through the two connection points remains parallel with itself during such movement.
Claims18
A taphole drilling machine to serve two tapholes comprising:
- a supporting structure, a mount, a height adjusting mechanism and a vertical tilting device;
- wherein said height adjusting mechanism includes:
- a frame supported by said supporting structure,
- a first pressure cylinder with an integrated stroke limiting device with two independently adjustable strokes;
- a first supporting joint connecting said height adjusting mechanism to said mount and a first connection joint connecting said height adjusting mechanism to said tilting device;
- and is designed in such a way that a stroke of said first pressure cylinder produces a positively guided translation of said first supporting joint and said first connection joint in relation to said frame, so that a connecting line through said first supporting joint and said first connection joint remains parallel with itself during this movement;
- wherein said vertical tilting device includes:
- a second pressure cylinder with an integrated stroke limiting device with two independently adjustable strokes;
- and
- a second supporting joint, connecting said tilting device to said mount;
- and
- and is designed in such a way that the distance between said first connection joint and said second supporting joint is adjustable by a stroke of said pressure cylinder.
A taphole drilling machine to serve two tapholes comprising:
- a supporting structure, a mount, a height adjusting mechanism and a vertical tilting device;
- wherein said height adjusting mechanism includes:
- a frame supporting said mount,
- a first pressure cylinder with an integrated stroke limiting device with two independently adjustable strokes;
- a first supporting joint connecting said height adjusting mechanism to said supporting structure and a first connection joint connecting said height adjusting mechanism to said tilting device;
- and is designed in such a way that a stroke of said first pressure cylinder produces a positively guided translation of said first supporting joint and said first connection joint in relation to said frame, so that a connecting line through said first supporting joint and said first connection joint remains parallel with itself during this movement;
- wherein said vertical tilting device includes:
- a second pressure cylinder with an integrated stroke limiting device with two independently adjustable strokes;
- and
- a second supporting joint, connecting said tilting device to said supporting structure;
- and
- and is designed in such a way that the distance between said first connection joint and said second supporting joint is adjustable by a stroke of said pressure cylinder.
