In-ground container installation apparatuses may include a housing support frame. An apparatus housing having a housing interior may be resiliently carried by the housing support frame in a plumb and pendulum configuration. The housing support frame may be mounted for axial displacement between a mixing position and a digging position with respect to the apparatus housing when the apparatus housing is in a stationary position. A drive motor may be provided on the housing support frame. An auger blade assembly may be drivingly engaged for rotation by the drive motor. The auger blade assembly may be disposed in the housing interior in the mixing position of the housing support frame and extend from the apparatus housing in the digging position of the housing support frame. Auger blade assemblies for driving engagement by a drive motor of an in-ground container installation apparatus are also disclosed.

A rock drilling arrangement, rock drilling rig and drilling method is provided. The rock drilling arrangement includes a drilling boom, which is mountable to a carrier of the rock drilling rig. The boom is provided with two rock drilling units arranged movably in the longitudinal direction of the boom. Further, the drilling units may be moved independently relative to each other.

In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a robot automated mining method. In one embodiment, a method includes a robot positioning a charging component for entry into a drill hole. In one embodiment, a method includes a robot moving a charging component within a drill hole. In one embodiment, a method includes a robot filling a drill hole with explosive material. In one embodiment, a method includes operating a robot within a mining environment.

A vehicular auger implement includes an auger having a bit; a walk-behind vehicle having front and rear ends, a forward anchor point, and a rear anchor point; linkage coupling the auger to the walk-behind vehicle; and an actuator for causing the linkage to move between raised and lowered configurations. The linkage includes first, second, and third links. The first link is coupled to the walk-behind vehicle and is rotatable about the forward anchor point. The second link is coupled to and is rotatable about the first link. The second link supports the auger. The third link is coupled to and is rotatable about the second link. The third link is also coupled to the walk-behind vehicle and is rotatable about the rear anchor point.

The present invention is an accessory device that hole coring machine, wherein the hole coring machine is utilized to quickly and efficiently core holes in concrete and asphalt. The accessory device comprises a stabilizer assembly that is coupled to a base of the hole coring machine. The stabilizer assembly includes at least one stabilizing frame that is formed to the outside diameter of a drill saw bit of the hole coring machine. The at least one stabilizing frame is coupled to an air compressor that causes the stabilizing frame to move relative to the drill saw bit during operation of the hole coring machine. The at least one stabilizing frame aids in maintaining the shape of the drill saw bit and reduces vibration and binding of the drill saw bit while forming a hole in concrete and/or asphalt.

Disclosed is a lightweight electric earth drill including a mounting plate, a drill stem and an outer shell, a motor installed on the mounting plate and configured to drive the drill stem to rotate, a rechargeable battery configured to power the motor, and a controller configured to control the motor and electrically connected to the motor and the rechargeable battery. The lightweight electric earth drill is driven by the motor and has low noise, which causes less damage to health of the workers and does not disturb the residents around the construction site. The lightweight electric earth drill is powered by rechargeable battery or mains electricity without exhaust emission. The motor is controlled by the controller and rotates forwardly and reversely, enabling the drill bit to be pulled out after drilling the earth.

A mobile drilling machine may include a drilling mast including a mast frame. The mobile drilling machine may further include a rotary head movably mounted on the mast frame, the rotary head controllable to rotate a drill string at a desired drill string rotation speed. The rotary head may further be controllable to move up and down the mast frame at a desired drill string feed speed. Additionally, the mobile drilling machine may include a joystick movable to control the desired drill string rotation speed and the desired drill string feed speed of the rotary head. A controller of the mobile drilling machine may be configured to receive a current desired drill string rotation speed and drill string feed speed information from the joystick and lock the current desired drill string rotation speed and the desired drill string feed speed upon activation of a switch mechanism.

The present invention provides a drill assembly that includes a drill for drilling rock, a support for supporting the drill, and a valve for releasably securing the support and drill together. The valve is adapted to receive a fluid from a pump means and controllably provide the drill and the support with the fluid for operation of the drill and the support.

A drilling machine for boring holes in a slab having a hole formed therein includes a main frame to which a drill gang assembly is rotatably and telescopingly mounted. The drill gang assembly includes a drill support frame supporting a plurality of drills in parallel spaced alignment. The drill gang assembly is mounted on a mast which may be rotated three hundred and sixty degrees relative to the main frame about a vertical axis up to at least one hundred and eighty degrees. The mast slides laterally relative to the main frame and the wheels supporting the main frame telescope laterally so the wheels can be supported on an adjacent lane or shoulder when the drill gang assembly is supported over a hole extending the width of a lane of a road forming by the slab.

A rock drilling machine, rock drilling rig and method of reinforcing rock surfaces by means of grouting material is provided. The grouting material is fed through the rock drilling machine to a drilling tool connected to the rock drilling machine. The rock drilling machine include a flushing feed path, which is utilized in the feeding of the grouting material.
