Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel construction equipment, and in particular relates to a combined boom for tunnel construction. Background Art

[0002] Tunnel construction often requires multiple operations. A common approach involves placing different construction devices within the tunnel to facilitate these operations, or moving different devices in and out of the tunnel for each operation. This repetitive back-and-forth process not only prolongs construction time, but also creates interference between devices, hindering ongoing operations.

[0003] At present, there are also multiple booms set on a construction trolley to carry out different construction operations. However, the arch frame trolley can usually only perform arch frame operations during the construction process. After the arch frame is actually erected, the arch frame needs to be fixed with retracted anchor rods. At present, the retracted anchor rod operations in construction are all manually drilled and then installed with anchor rods, which makes the entire operation unable to be truly mechanized and the operation efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem that multiple construction operations cannot be carried out simultaneously during tunnel construction, the present invention provides a combined boom, which combines a rock drilling device and a drilling gripper mechanism. After the arch frame is installed, the rock drilling device can be used to drill holes and fix the retracted anchor rods, thereby improving the mechanization capability of the entire boom and improving the operation efficiency. In order to ensure the independent operation of the drilling gripper mechanism, the rock drilling device is set to a rotary type so that the rock drilling device can rotate in the horizontal direction. When the rock drilling device is not in use, the rock drilling device can be rotated to the rear side without affecting the use of the drilling gripper mechanism, thereby improving the flexibility and operability of the entire combined boom.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is:

[0015] Due to the above technical solution, the rotary rock drilling device and the gripping mechanism are combined on the robotic arm, which can improve the functionality of the robotic arm and can meet various construction needs when an engineering trolley enters the tunnel, thereby improving construction efficiency.

[0016] Preferably, the gripping mechanism is arranged on a workbench, the workbench is connected to the leveling seat, the other end of the leveling seat is hinged to the connecting seat, the connecting seat is arranged below the third rotating mechanism, and the two ends of the first pitch cylinder are respectively connected to the connecting seat and the leveling seat.

[0017] Due to the above technical solution, the setting of the workbench can ensure that the construction workers can stand on the workbench and operate the gripping mechanism. When the gripping mechanism grabs the arch frame, the workers can also stand on the workbench to perform the connection operation.

[0018] Preferably, the gripping mechanism is hinged on a telescopic rod, the other end of the telescopic rod is connected to the workbench, and the telescopic rod is telescoped in the vertical direction by a telescopic oil cylinder.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0033] A rotary rock drilling device includes a propulsion beam 5, a propulsion mechanism disposed within the propulsion beam 5, a drill rod 1 disposed on the propulsion beam 5, and a drill bit 2 connected to the end of the drill rod 1. The drill bit 2 can be used to drill a hole in a tunnel and then install an anchor bolt to fix it. The other end of the drill rod 1 is connected to a rock drill head 3, which can provide power for the drill rod 1. The propulsion mechanism is connected to the drill rod 1 and provides forward power to the drill rod 1, allowing the drill rod to continuously move forward to facilitate drilling. The drill rod 1 and the propulsion beam 5 move relative to each other. The propulsion beam 5 is connected to a mechanical arm 12 via a first rotary mechanism 11. The propulsion beam 5 rotates horizontally relative to the mechanical arm 12. In the present invention, the propulsion beam 5 is preferably mounted on the mechanical arm 12, but can also be mounted on other mechanisms according to actual use requirements. The rotation of the propulsion beam 5 can enable the propulsion beam 5 to work in different directions and ensure that when the propulsion beam 5 is not in use, it can be rotated to the rear of the mechanical arm 12 without affecting the use of other mechanisms on the front.

[0034] The side of the propulsion beam 5 is connected to a second rotary mechanism 9, which is connected to the first rotary mechanism 11 via a curved tube 10 with a 90° bend. The second rotary mechanism 9 drives the propulsion beam 5 to rotate vertically. The propulsion beam 5 can rotate horizontally relative to the robotic arm 12 and can also rotate vertically, enhancing its flexibility and meeting work requirements in different directions.

[0035] The propulsion mechanism includes a chain 6 disposed within a propulsion beam 5 and rotating relative to the propulsion beam 5. A movable base 4 is connected below the rock drill head 3 and is adapted to engage with the chain 6, which drives the movable base 4 to move forward and backward. It is understood that the chain 6 continuously rotates to drive the movable base 4 forward and backward. The movable base 4 is provided with teeth that mesh with the chain 6, thereby ensuring the forward and backward movement of the drill rod 1 to complete the drilling operation.

[0036] A positioning pin 7 is connected to the end of the propulsion beam 5 near the drill bit 2. The positioning pin 7 is used for positioning before drilling. The positioning pin 7 is connected to the propulsion beam 5 through a spring 8. The positioning pin 7 and the propulsion beam 5 move relative to each other. The spring 8 can provide a pre-tightening force for the positioning pin 7, and also avoids the damage of the propulsion beam 5 caused by excessive thrust when the positioning pin 7 and the propulsion beam 5 are rigidly connected. In order to ensure the accuracy of positioning, the positioning pin 7 is symmetrically set to two.

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a tunnel construction combined boom includes the above-mentioned rotary rock drilling device, the mechanical arm 12 is connected to the gripping mechanism 15 through the third rotary mechanism 16, and the third rotary mechanism 16 can drive the gripping mechanism 15 to rotate in the horizontal direction, so that the gripping mechanism 15 can be turned to different directions for work, and when the gripping mechanism 15 is working, the rotary rock drilling device can be rotated to the rear side without affecting the work of the gripping mechanism 15; the gripping mechanism 15 includes a mechanical arm 20, and a breaker hammer 21 is provided at the mechanical arm 20. 20 can grab the arch frame when installing the arch frame, and the breaker hammer 21 on the gripping mechanism 15 can perform the crushing operation at the position where crushing is required; when crushing is not required, the manipulator 20 can be used alone to grab the arch frame, which is convenient for positioning and installation of the arch frame. The gripping mechanism 15 and the rotary rock drilling device are combined and installed on the same manipulator arm 12, which can reduce the size of the construction trolley and avoid too many engineering vehicles entering at the same time during tunnel construction. When one engineering vehicle enters, multiple construction operations can be completed, thereby improving construction efficiency.

[0038] The gripping mechanism 15 is arranged on the workbench 14, and the workbench 14 is connected to the leveling seat 18. The other end of the leveling seat 18 is hinged to the connecting seat 17. In one embodiment, the connecting seat 17 is arranged below the third rotating mechanism 16, and the two ends of the first pitching oil cylinder 19 are respectively connected to the connecting seat 17 and the leveling seat 18, thereby ensuring the rotation of the gripping mechanism 15 in the vertical direction; in another embodiment, the connecting seat 17 is arranged above the third rotating mechanism 16 and connected to the robot arm 12, and the two ends of the first pitching oil cylinder 19 are connected to the robot arm 12 and the connecting seat 17, thereby driving the pitch of the gripping mechanism 15. The gripping mechanism 15 is located at the end of the robot arm 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 1As shown, the gripping mechanism 15 can be pitched in the vertical direction by the first pitching cylinder 19 to meet working requirements at various angles.

[0039] The workbench 14 is convenient for construction workers to stand on. Construction workers can stand on the workbench 14 and operate the breaker 21 on the gripping mechanism 15. The angle of the workbench 14 can be adjusted through the leveling seat 18, which provides convenience for construction.

[0040] The gripping mechanism 15 is hinged on a telescopic rod 24, the other end of which is connected to the workbench 14. The telescopic rod 24 can be used to extend or shorten the gripping mechanism 15, thereby extending the working range of the gripping mechanism 15. The telescopic rod 24 is extended and retracted in the vertical direction by a telescopic cylinder.

[0041] The gripping mechanism 15 includes two manipulators 20 symmetrically arranged, with a guide plate 22 disposed between the two manipulators 20. The guide plate 22 is provided with a guide surface inclined inward, so that when the manipulator 20 grasps the arch frame, a guiding force is provided for the arch frame, thereby facilitating the accuracy of the grasping of the manipulator 20, enabling the arch frame to be grasped quickly, and avoiding improper operation and multiple grasping, which would delay construction time.

[0042] A second pitch cylinder 23 is connected between the gripper mechanism 15 and the telescopic rod 24. This second pitch cylinder 23 drives the gripper mechanism 15 to rotate vertically. The robotic arm 12 is a telescopic boom, and its vertical rotation is controlled by a third pitch cylinder 13. The second and third pitch cylinders 23 and 13 enhance the flexibility of the robotic arm 12.

[0043] Specific working method: The combined arm is installed on the engineering trolley. During construction, the engineering trolley is directly driven into the tunnel. The construction workers can stand on the workbench 14 and maintain stability through the leveling seat 18 to facilitate the construction workers to stand. The manipulator 20 can place the grabbed arch frame on the avoidance surface in the tunnel so that the construction workers can install it. Before installation, the drill bit 2 on the drill rod 1 can be used to drill holes in the tunnel wall to facilitate the installation of anchor rods by the construction workers. After use, the rock drilling device can be rotated to the rear side and retracted, thereby reducing the size of the entire trolley without affecting the next grabbing action of the manipulator 20.

[0044] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be construed as limiting the invention. The scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims. Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that improvements and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
