Aiming at the problems of low automation level, high labor intensity, and large investment capital for the overall upgrade of the traditional geothermal drilling platform faced by the exploitation of traditional geothermal resources, a drilling auxiliary robot consisting of a mechanical assistant and a rotary buckling robot is designed. According to the functional requirements, the overall structural design of the drilling assistant robot for geothermal drilling platform is carried out, and the three-dimensional digitized design of the mechanical assistant and the rotary buckle manipulator is given. The results of the study contribute greatly to reducing the labor force of geothermal drilling operations and provide a reference for the automation design of geothermal drilling rig platforms.
