Abstract:
A multifunctional articulated drilling machine, particularly but not exclusively adapted for excavation and drilling operations in galleries and tunnels, includes a vehicle equipped with tracks and a drilling member, a connection arm adapted to connect the drilling member to the vehicle, a first constraining system constraining the lower end of the arm to the vehicle, and a second constraining system constraining the guide of the drilling member to the upper end of the arm. The tracks can be translated crosswise in order to vary the distance between them.

Claim (Index 1):
A multifunctional articulated drilling machine (M) comprising:\n a self-propelled motor vehicle ( 1 ), with a chassis ( 11 ) equipped with at least one pair of tracks ( 61 ,  62 ) for a forward movement of the drilling machine in at least one advancement direction (X); and at least one drilling member ( 3 ) comprising a drilling head ( 32 ) mounted and translating (G) on a respective guide ( 31 ), further comprising: at least one arm ( 2 ) configured to connect said drilling member ( 3 ) to said motor vehicle ( 1 ); a first constraining system ( 5 ) adapted to constrain a lower end ( 2 a ) of said arm ( 2 ) to said vehicle ( 1 ), wherein said first constraining system ( 5 ) comprises:\n at least one first pin ( 51 ) with vertical axis of rotation (Z 1 ), adapted to enable a rotating movement (A) of an entire arm ( 2 )\u2014drilling member ( 3 ) assembly on said vertical axis (Z 1 ) \n at least one first hinge ( 52 ) which directly or indirectly connects to said first pin ( 51 ) and to which said lower end ( 2 a ) of said arm ( 2 ) is hinged, said first hinge ( 52 ) being adapted to enable a rotating movement (C) of said arm ( 2 ); and \n a drilling member ( 3 ) assembly around a horizontal axis (Y 1 ), which is orthogonal to the advancement direction (X) of the machine; \n a second constraining system ( 4 ) adapted to constrain the guide ( 31 ) of the drilling member ( 3 ) to an upper end ( 2 b ) of said arm ( 2 ), wherein said second constraining system ( 4 ) comprises:\n at least one second hinge ( 41 ) mounted at an upper end ( 2 b ) of the arm ( 2 ) and enabling a rotating movement (D) of said guide ( 31 ) around an axis (Y 2 ), which is parallel to the axis (Y 1 ) of said first hinge ( 52 ) at the opposite end ( 2 a ) of the arm ( 2 ); \n at least one second pin or ring bearing ( 42 ) connected to said second hinge ( 41 ) and adapted to enable a rotating movement (E) of said guide ( 31 ) around a rotation axis (Z 2 ) which is orthogonal to said second hinge ( 41 ); and \n at least one third hinge ( 43 ) connected to said second pin or ring bearing ( 42 ) and adapted to enable a rotating movement (F) of said guide ( 31 ) around an axis (Y 3 ), which is orthogonal to the rotation axis (Z 2 ) of said second pin or ring bearing ( 42 ), \n wherein said tracks ( 61 ,  62 ) of said chassis ( 11 ) selectively translate in a direction (Y) which is substantially orthogonal to the advancement direction (X) and in an opposite direction, thereby increasing or reducing a distance ( 63 ) therebetween, in a symmetric or asymmetric manner with respect to a longitudinal axis of symmetry of the drilling machine (M).
