Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of green and intelligent construction and electrified construction equipment technology for water conservancy projects, and in particular to an electrified construction towed track system suitable for large-scale tunnel excavation. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the excavation and construction of large caverns in water conservancy projects still mainly rely on traditional fossil fuel-powered machinery such as diesel and heavy oil, which has three major drawbacks: First, the construction cost is high. Fossil fuel prices fluctuate frequently and continue to rise, with fuel costs accounting for a high proportion of the total construction cost. At the same time, the power structure of traditional machinery is complex, and the maintenance cost is much higher than that of electric machinery. Second, environmental protection and occupational health issues are prominent. Working in enclosed caverns generates a large amount of exhaust gas and noise pollution, resulting in high carbon emissions, which does not meet the requirements of green construction. Third, intelligent transformation is difficult and costly, making it difficult to adapt to the development needs of intelligent construction and unmanned construction in water conservancy projects.
[0003] However, in large-scale tunnel excavation scenarios, the large-scale application of electric construction machinery still faces key technical bottlenecks: First, the elevation of the excavation base changes dynamically with construction, and traditional overhead contact lines cannot adapt to the dynamic construction scenario, making installation and relocation extremely difficult. Moreover, dust and falling rocks inside the tunnel can easily damage the contact line, and the stability and safety of current collection cannot be guaranteed. Second, existing charging and swapping modes suffer from insufficient battery life, low operating efficiency, large investment in supporting facilities, and limited deployment space inside the tunnel, failing to meet the needs of continuous high-intensity construction in tunnels. Third, existing fixed-track power supply systems cannot achieve rapid disassembly and dynamic relocation, and lack intelligent power collection and control and safety protection structures designed for the harsh construction environment of tunnels, making them unsuitable for the characteristics of the entire tunnel excavation process. Summary of the Invention

This system can significantly reduce overall construction costs, greatly simplify equipment maintenance processes, and improve overall construction economic efficiency. At the same time, it can reduce the number of personnel working inside the tunnel through electrification, thereby reducing personnel safety risks in high-risk operations.

After completing the insulation resistance test, power frequency withstand voltage test, and grounding resistance test in sequence, and all electrical parameters meet the safety specifications for underground engineering power construction, conduct no-load power-on debugging of the track system; Precisely snap the speed regulating wheel 201 of the intelligent sliding contact power receiving module 2 into the wheel grooves of the grooved positive insulation cover plate 102 and the negative grooved insulation support 106, ensure that the power receiving slider 209 is closely fitted with the conductive surfaces of the positive and negative guide rails, lock and connect both ends of the current receiving cable 4 to the threaded cable interface 206 of the intelligent sliding contact power receiving module 2 and the cable deployment reel 301 of the construction vehicle wiring terminal 3 respectively, and complete double anti-disconnection locking through the plug-in screw 207 and the magnetic lock 208; Stick strain gauges 215 at intervals along the axial direction on the outer sheath surface of the current receiving cable 4, complete the communication debugging of the strain gauge signal link, the servo motor 202 control link, and the servo motor 302 control link. After the joint debugging of the speed regulation function, cable retraction and deployment function, power receiving stability, and communication reliability of the whole system is qualified, enter the operation preparation state; Step 2 (as Figure 7 shown), through the external background operation and maintenance dispatching control system, divide the left and right working areas, vehicle driving paths, and meeting points according to the number of working faces and the number of configured electric construction vehicles 5. Utilize the double independent current receiving areas on the same cross-section of the guide rail to dispatch two electric construction vehicles 5 to work in parallel to avoid conflicts between driving and operation; Dispatch the electric construction vehicles 5 to carry out chamber excavation, earthwork loading, and transportation operations synchronously from the center of the chamber to both sides; During the operation, the intelligent sliding contact power receiving module 2 continuously draws power from the DC power supply track system 1 through the power receiving slider 209. The compression spring 211 continuously provides a positive contact pressure for the power receiving slider 209, and automatically rebounds and compensates after wear to ensure continuous power receiving; The strain gauge 215 continuously collects the axial deformation data of the current receiving cable 4 and transmits it to the low-voltage power supply module 203. When the cable tension exceeds the preset safety threshold, the low-voltage power supply module 203 immediately triggers the servo motor 202 to start, adjusts the speed and rotation direction of the speed regulating wheel 201, makes the running speed of the module match the traveling speed of the electric construction vehicle 5, and automatically eliminates the risk of over-tension of the cable pulling. After the tension returns to the safe range, the servo motor 202 stops operating; Simultaneously, the monitoring camera 304 collects data in real time on the lateral distance between the electric construction vehicle 5 and the DC power supply track system 1, as well as the distance from the ground to the lowest point of the current receiving cable 4. When the distance exceeds the preset safety threshold, the servo motor 302 drives the cable laying tray 301 to rotate in the forward direction to lay the cable. When the cable height from the ground is lower than the preset minimum value, the cable laying tray 301 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction to retract the cable, thus avoiding vehicle collision with the track and cable dragging and wear. Step 3 (e.g.) Figure 7 As shown), when the excavation work from the center to both sides reaches the preset cycle step distance and the working face advances to the design boundary, the shutdown command is first issued through the background operation and maintenance scheduling control system. All electric construction vehicles 5 stop working and park in a safe area; the main power supply of the traction substation 6 is cut off, and the DC power supply track system 1 is discharged and tested for electricity step by step. After confirming that there is no power, a safety warning sign is hung, and then the dismantling work is carried out. Following the reverse order of installation, first remove the sliding screw 114 and connecting component 113 at the guide rail connection position, then loosen the fastening bolt 108 and height adjusting bolt 107, and unscrew the threaded pile head 112 of the hollow sleeve support 109 from the base surface as a whole, completing the modular disassembly of the single section guide rail unit. After disassembly, the components are classified, protected, and transported to the new layout positions on the inner walls of the tunnel adjacent to both sides. Based on the current working base surface condition, plan two parallel track laying lines on the inner walls of both sides of the tunnel respectively. Leave a safe operating distance between the track and the tunnel wall and the excavation working face. Repeat the track laying, fixing, and electrical testing process in S1 to complete the layout and power-on debugging of the two independent DC power supply track systems 1 on both sides of the tunnel. Step 4: Connect the intelligent sliding contact power receiving module 2 of the electric construction vehicle 5 to the DC power supply track system 1 on both sides of the tunnel. Through the background operation and maintenance scheduling control system, the electric construction vehicles 5 on both sides are simultaneously dispatched to carry out the excavation, loading and transportation of the remaining soil and rock from both sides of the tunnel towards the center, and clear the platform-shaped residual area in the middle that is higher than the current working base. For the corner areas such as the arch foot of the tunnel and the bottom of the side wall outside the track coverage area, the electric construction vehicle 5 switches to the trackless independent operation mode powered by its own energy storage battery to complete the small-scale finishing cleanup work. After all the earth and rock in the middle area of the tunnel section has been cleared and transported away, the new working surface will be leveled and compacted to ensure that the flatness and compaction of the surface meet the requirements for the next cycle of track laying. Step 5: On the new leveled work surface, repeat steps S1 to S4, advancing the excavation work segment by segment into the depth of the tunnel according to the preset excavation cycle distance, until the entire cross-section excavation and transportation work of the entire tunnel is completed. Throughout the entire operation cycle, the external background operation and maintenance scheduling control system collects the electrical parameters of the track system, the operating status of the intelligent sliding contact power receiving module 2, and the operating position and operation data of the electric construction vehicle 5 in real time. It provides real-time warnings for abnormal situations such as insulation abnormalities, excessive cable tension, and equipment communication interruptions, and simultaneously triggers the shutdown protection mechanism to dispatch operation and maintenance personnel to handle the situation on-site. After the entire tunnel excavation project is completed, after the entire system is de-energized, discharged, and tested for voltage according to the standard procedures, the DC power supply track system 1, intelligent sliding contact power receiving module 2, construction vehicle terminal 3, and other equipment are fully disassembled, cleaned, and maintained, and then transported away from the site in categories, completing the electrification construction work of the entire tunnel excavation process.
