Sažetak
Exploitation of polar resources and scientific research require efficient ice drilling technology. Thermal drilling is a common method for polar ice drilling, and is similar to the principle of ultrasonic assisted drilling; both are drilled by melting ice layers, but improving energy utilization has always been a challenge. In order to improve energy utilization and drilling efficiency, this paper proposes a method for ice drilling with ultrasonic frequency vibration. The mechanism of ultrasonic vibration drilling into ice was analyzed, the solid theoretical foundation for the application of ice melting efficiency under ultrasonic frequency vibration was determined and a series of indoor experiments were conducted. According to experimental data obtained, two conclusions were provided. First, different frequencies have distinct influence on power density, drilling speed and melting rate, and the optimum range excitation frequency for ultrasonic ice drilling is at least 30~32 kHz, under which the ice melting efficiency and drilling speed reached the peak value. Second, ultrasonic assisted drilling was verified to have the ability of improving the efficiency of ice breaking by comparing to thermal drilling under the same power density under 30 kHz. As an environmentally friendly and efficient drilling method, ultrasonic assisted ice drilling has great application prospects in the field of polar exploration. By using Ultrasonic assisted drilling, we demonstrate a strategy for a faster and more efficient drilling method, which is important for humankind.
