Description

[0002] Existing modern coal mine auxiliary transportation vehicles use explosion-proof diesel rubber-wheeled vehicles, which have the problems of high fuel consumption, environmental pollution caused by diesel combustion exhaust, and even excessive carbon monoxide safety issues, and are large in size. When equipment such as belt conveyors are running in the tunnels, the explosion-proof diesel vehicles cannot directly transport the materials required for the excavation working face and the mining working face to the underground working tunnels after transporting them to the working face. There is often a remaining distance of at least 200 meters, and manual labor is required to carry the supporting materials and tools such as anchor rods, anchoring agents, pipelines, pallets, anchor cables, etc. required for the working face to the work position. The work efficiency is low, the labor intensity is high, and personal injuries are likely to occur. Material transportation is one of the key influencing factors of support speed and excavation advance.

[0003] In the existing underground pipeline installation project, the pipeline is transported to the installation site by an explosion-proof diesel rubber-wheeled vehicle, the pipeline is aligned with a crowbar, the bolts are manually connected, and then the two ends of the pipeline are installed and lifted with a hand winch. Before the hand winch is used, a suspension anchor rod needs to be constructed on the top of the tunnel where the pipeline is installed. The process is complicated, the labor intensity is high, the work efficiency is very low, and it involves personnel safety issues.

[0004] When the tunnel boring machine, scraper conveyor and belt conveyor at the excavation working face break down, the main equipment parts need to be disassembled and transported to the mine for maintenance. Or when the excavation working face is changed, the scraper conveyor and belt conveyor need to be disassembled and transported to the new excavation working face. Currently, they are mainly pulled out 200 meters outside the excavation working face by manual hand winch, and then loaded with explosion-proof loaders. The labor intensity is high, the work efficiency is very low and it involves personnel safety issues. Summary of the invention
