Method and system for integrating sensors on an autonomous mining drilling rig

摘要

An autonomous drilling rig (200), including a carriage including a mast (204), a rotary head (202) configured to traverse up and down the mast (204), and a wireless transmission system. The wireless transmission system includes a wireless transmitter (208) mounted on the rotary head (202) and configured to send a wireless signal to a wireless receiver (210). The wireless transmitter (210) includes a first connector (209) configured to engage with a first sensor, wherein the sensor measures at least one operating parameter. The wireless transmission system further includes the wireless receiver (210) configured to receive the wireless signal from the wireless transmitter (208), wherein the wireless signal comprises the at least one measured operating parameter, and a display unit (610) operatively connected to the wireless receiver (210) and configured to display the measured operating parameter.
