Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunneling machine technology, and more specifically, to a tail-swinging material conveying assembly and a tunneling device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, when a tunneling machine is equipped with a first conveyor whose tail can swing, it is difficult to coordinate the position of the second conveyor with the first conveyor, and the material cannot fall accurately from the first conveyor into the second conveyor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, the first objective of this invention is to provide a tail-swinging material conveying assembly.

[0004] A second objective of this invention is to provide a tunneling device.

[0005] In view of this, according to the first objective of the present invention, the tail-swinging material conveying assembly proposed by the present invention includes: a body; a first conveying assembly rotatably disposed on the body; and a second conveying assembly rotatably disposed on the body, the second conveying assembly including a conveying section, the conveying section being rotatable relative to the first conveying assembly for receiving the material conveyed by the first conveying assembly.

[0006] The tail-swing conveyor assembly proposed in this invention includes a body, a first conveying component, and a second conveying component. The body, as the main component of the tail-swing conveyor assembly, has space for equipment installation and a certain load-bearing capacity. The first conveying component is rotatably mounted on the body and is used to transport materials; it can rotate relative to the body. For example, the first conveying component can rotate laterally along the body, such as rotating from its current position to the right or left of the body. This rotatable configuration allows the first conveying component to be adjusted to different positions relative to the body, facilitating material transfer. Furthermore, the rotatable mounting of the first conveying component on the body also allows the tail-swing conveyor assembly to pass through curved aisles or narrow spaces by appropriately adjusting its position, thus enhancing its maneuverability.

[0007] The second transport component is rotatably mounted on the machine body. For example, the second transport component can rotate laterally along the machine body, such as rotating to the right or left of the machine body from its current position. This rotation allows for overall adjustment of the second transport component's position relative to the machine body, aligning it with the position of the first transport component. This facilitates the transfer of materials from the first to the second transport component, preventing material from falling during the transfer process. Furthermore, it allows the tail-end conveyor to adapt to the shape and size of the tunnel or space when navigating curved passageways or narrow spaces, ensuring smooth and safe passage and preventing collisions with the tunnel walls.

[0008] The transport section in the second transport assembly can rotate relative to the first transport assembly. For example, the transport section can rotate laterally along the second transport assembly, thus changing its position relative to the first transport assembly, which is equivalent to the transport section rotating relative to the first transport assembly. It is used to receive the material conveyed by the first transport assembly. By rotating the transport section, the relative position between the material receiving part and the first transport assembly can be further adjusted to ensure that the material can be accurately transferred to the transport section to complete the material conveying operation. The ability of the transport section to rotate relative to the first transport assembly increases the range of positional adjustments for the second transport assembly, improving the accuracy of material transfer. Furthermore, it allows for further adjustment of the position of certain structures of the second transport assembly relative to the machine body, enabling the second transport assembly to better adapt to the shape of the tunnel or the size of the space, allowing the tail-end conveyor assembly to pass smoothly, ensuring safety during passage, and preventing collisions between the second transport assembly and the tunnel walls.

[0009] Therefore, the swing-tail conveyor assembly proposed in this invention, by incorporating a second transport component that is rotatable relative to the machine body, and the transport section within the second transport component being rotatable relative to the first transport component, allows the transport section for receiving materials conveyed by the first transport component to align with the position of the first transport component, thereby improving the accuracy of material transfer. Simultaneously, it also enables the swing-tail conveyor assembly to adapt the second transport component to the shape of the tunnel when traversing curved tunnels or in narrow spaces, ensuring smooth passage, safety, and avoiding collisions with tunnel walls, thus improving the throughput and overall efficiency of the equipment.

[0010] In addition, the tail-waving feeding assembly in the above embodiments provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0011] In the above technical solution, the second transport component includes: a boom assembly, one end of which is rotatably connected to the machine body, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the transport unit, the boom assembly including at least one boom section; and a first drive unit disposed on the boom assembly, the first drive unit being used to drive at least one boom section in the boom assembly to rotate relative to the machine body.

[0012] In this technical solution, the second transport component includes a boom assembly and a first drive unit. One end of the boom assembly is rotatably connected to the machine body, and the other end is rotatably connected to the transport unit. The boom assembly serves as a support, connecting the transport unit and the machine body. When the boom assembly rotates relative to the machine body, the transport unit rotates synchronously with the boom, changing its position relative to the machine body and ultimately altering its position relative to the first transport component. Furthermore, the rotatable connection between the transport unit and the boom assembly allows for further alteration of the relative position between the transport unit and the first transport component, ensuring accurate material transfer to the transport unit and completing the material conveying operation. Simultaneously, when the swaying conveyor passes through curved tunnels or narrow spaces, the overall shape and volume of the second transport component can be adapted to the shape of the tunnel or the size of the space by adjusting the boom assembly and the transport unit, ensuring smooth passage, safety, and preventing collisions with the tunnel walls.

[0013] The boom assembly includes at least one boom section, allowing the number of boom sections to be adjusted according to the actual working environment, facilitating the position adjustment process.

[0014] The first drive unit in the second transport assembly is located on the boom, and is used to drive at least one boom section of the boom assembly to rotate relative to the machine body. This allows the rotation of the boom assembly to be completed automatically, eliminating the need for manual operation by the operator. This improves the overall ease of boom assembly rotation, reduces operator workload, and increases rotation efficiency.

[0015] In any of the above technical solutions, the second transport component further includes: a second drive unit, which is connected to the boom assembly and the transport unit respectively, and is used to drive the transport unit to rotate relative to the first transport component.

[0016] In this technical solution, the second transport component also includes a second drive unit, which is connected to both the boom assembly and the transport component. The second drive unit drives the transport component to rotate relative to the first transport component, thus enabling the rotation of the transport component to be completed automatically without the operator needing to manually push it. This improves the overall ease of transport component rotation, reduces operator workload, and increases rotation efficiency. Furthermore, using the second drive unit to drive the rotation of the transport component allows for easier control of the rotation degree and improves the precision of the driving process.

[0017] In any of the above technical solutions, the transport unit includes: a turntable rotatably connected to the boom assembly; a second drive unit connected to the boom assembly and the turntable respectively, for driving the turntable to rotate relative to the first transport assembly; and a transport track disposed on the turntable for receiving the material transported by the first transport assembly.

[0018] In this technical solution, the transport unit includes a turntable and a transport track. The turntable is rotatably connected to the boom assembly. A second drive unit is connected to both the boom assembly and the turntable, driving the turntable to rotate relative to the first transport assembly. This arrangement allows the turntable to change position relative to the first transport assembly when driven to rotate relative to the boom assembly. Furthermore, the second drive unit enables the turntable to rotate automatically, eliminating the need for operator intervention. This improves the overall ease of turntable rotation, reduces operator workload, increases rotation efficiency, and allows for precise control of the rotation degree, enhancing the accuracy of the drive process.

[0019] The transport track is located on the rotary table to receive materials conveyed by the first transport component. The transport track can rotate synchronously with the rotary table, thereby adjusting the position of the material receiving section to ensure that the material does not spill during transport.

[0020] In any of the above technical solutions, the boom assembly includes: a first boom, one end of which is rotatably connected to the machine body; a second boom, the other end of which is connected to the first boom; a transport unit rotatably connected to the second boom; and a first drive unit connected to the first boom and the second boom respectively, for driving the second boom to rotate relative to the first boom.

[0021] In this technical solution, the boom assembly includes a first boom and a second boom. One end of the first boom is rotatably connected to the machine body, and the other end of the second boom is connected to the first boom. The transport section is rotatably connected to the second boom. A first drive unit is connected to both the first and second booms and is used to drive the second boom to rotate relative to the first boom. During the rotation of the second boom relative to the first boom by the first drive unit, the transport section mounted on the second boom is driven by the second boom and rotates synchronously, thereby adjusting the relative position between the material-receiving transport section and the first transport assembly. This ensures that the material can be accurately transferred to the transport section to complete the material conveying operation. Furthermore, the position of the second transport assembly relative to the machine body can be further adjusted to better suit the shape or size of the tunnel, allowing the entire tail-end conveying assembly to move smoothly, ensuring safe passage and preventing collisions between the second transport assembly and the tunnel wall.

[0022] In any of the above technical solutions, the boom assembly further includes: a third drive unit, which is connected to the body and the first boom respectively, and the third drive unit is used to drive the first boom to rotate relative to the body.

[0023] In this technical solution, the boom assembly also includes a third drive unit, which is connected to both the machine body and the first boom. The third drive unit drives the first boom to rotate relative to the machine body. By driving the first boom relative to the machine body, the position of the first boom can be changed, enabling the first boom to move along the height of the machine body, thereby moving the first boom closer to or further away from the first transport assembly. Changing the position of the first boom alters the distance between the first transport assembly and the transport unit, ensuring that materials can be accurately transferred to the transport unit.

[0024] Furthermore, the third drive unit's configuration for rotating the first boom relative to the machine body allows the first boom to rotate automatically, eliminating the need for the operator to manually push it. This significantly improves the ease of first boom rotation, reduces operator workload, and increases rotation efficiency. Moreover, using the third drive unit to drive the first boom's rotation facilitates control over the degree of rotation, enhancing the precision of the drive process.

[0025] During the process of the third drive unit driving the first boom to rotate relative to the machine body, the first boom is raised or lowered accordingly, thereby changing the height of the first boom relative to the ground of the tail-swing conveyor assembly, ensuring the safety of the first boom, avoiding friction between the first boom and the ground during travel, and thus improving the overall passability of the tail-swing conveyor assembly in complex road conditions.

[0026] In any of the above technical solutions, the first transport component includes: a connecting frame, one end of which is rotatably connected to the machine body; a discharge section, which is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting frame; and a fourth drive section, which is connected to the connecting frame and the machine body respectively, for driving the connecting frame to rotate relative to the machine body.

[0027] In this technical solution, the first transport component includes a connecting frame and a discharge section. One end of the connecting frame is rotatably connected to the machine body, and the discharge section is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting frame. The connecting frame connects the machine body and the discharge section. The first transport component also includes a fourth drive unit, which is connected to both the connecting frame and the machine body. The fourth drive unit drives the connecting frame to rotate relative to the machine body, and the connecting section to rotate relative to the machine body. This causes the discharge section located on the connecting section to also change its position relative to the machine body, ultimately changing the relative position of the discharge section and the transport section, allowing them to adapt to each other. Furthermore, the presence of the fourth drive unit allows the rotation of the connecting frame to be completed automatically, without requiring the operator to push the connecting frame. This improves the overall ease of rotating the connecting frame, reduces the operator's workload, and increases rotation efficiency. Moreover, driving the rotation of the connecting section through the fourth drive unit facilitates control of the degree of rotation and improves the accuracy of the driving process.

[0028] The discharge section is located on the connecting frame and is used for conveying materials. The discharge section can rotate synchronously with the connecting frame, thereby adjusting the position of the material conveying section. During material transportation, the relative positions of the discharge section (for conveying materials) and the transport section (for receiving materials) are adjusted to further ensure the reliability of material transportation and prevent material spillage.

[0029] In any of the above technical solutions, the first transport component further includes: a fifth drive unit, which is connected to the connecting frame and the discharge unit respectively, and is used to drive the discharge unit to rotate relative to the connecting frame.

[0030] In this technical solution, the first transport component also includes a fifth drive unit, which is connected to the connecting frame and the discharge unit respectively. The fifth drive unit drives the discharge unit to rotate relative to the connecting frame, thereby changing the position of the discharge unit relative to the connecting frame. The fourth and fifth drive units work together to ultimately adjust the position of the discharge unit relative to the machine body along the height and width directions, thus achieving a positional correspondence between the discharge unit and the transport unit to ensure accurate material transfer.

[0031] In any of the above technical solutions, the discharge section includes: a support frame rotatably connected to the connecting frame; a second drive section connected to the support frame and the connecting frame respectively, for driving the support frame to rotate relative to the connecting frame; and a transfer track disposed on the support frame for conveying materials.

[0032] In this technical solution, the discharge section includes a support frame and a transfer track. The support frame and the connecting frame are rotatably connected. A second drive unit is connected to both the support frame and the connecting frame, driving the support frame to rotate relative to the connecting frame. This allows the support frame to swing to the left or right of the connecting frame. The transfer track is mounted on the support frame and can rotate synchronously with it. By driving the support frame to rotate relative to the connecting frame via the second drive unit, the position of the transfer track can be adjusted. This allows the first transport component to align with the second transport component, completing the material transfer process. The transfer track is used to transport materials. The material enters the front end of the transfer track, is then moved to the rear end by the rotating track, and finally leaves the track, falling onto the second transport component, thus completing the material transport process.

[0033] According to a second objective of the present invention, a tunneling device is also proposed, comprising a tail-swinging material conveying assembly as described in any of the above-described technical solutions.

[0034] The tunneling equipment proposed for the second objective of this invention includes the tail-swinging material conveying component as described in any of the above technical solutions, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the tail-swinging material conveying component as described in any of the above technical solutions, which will not be elaborated here.

Detailed Implementation

[0048] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0049] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0050] The following reference Figures 1 to 9 The tail-wagging material conveying assembly 100 and the tunneling equipment (not shown) according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a tail-swinging material conveying assembly 100 is provided, comprising: a body 110; a first conveying assembly 120 rotatably disposed on the body 110; and a second conveying assembly 140 rotatably disposed on the body 110, the second conveying assembly 140 including a conveying section 142, the conveying section 142 being rotatable relative to the first conveying assembly 120 for receiving materials conveyed by the first conveying assembly 120.

[0052] In this embodiment, the tail-swinging conveyor assembly 100 proposed in this invention includes a body 110, a first conveying assembly 120, and a second conveying assembly 140. The body 110, as the main body of the tail-swinging conveyor assembly 100, has space for equipment installation and a certain load-bearing capacity. The first conveying assembly 120 is rotatably disposed on the body 110 and is used for transporting materials; it can rotate relative to the body 110. Through this rotatable arrangement, the first conveying assembly 120 can be adjusted to different positions relative to the body 110. The first conveying assembly 120 in the adjusted position facilitates material transfer. Furthermore, by rotatably disposing of the first conveying assembly 120 on the body 110, the tail-swinging conveyor assembly 100 can appropriately adjust the position of the first conveying assembly 120 when passing through curved aisles or in narrow spaces, thus facilitating the passage of the tail-swinging conveyor assembly 100 and enhancing its maneuverability. Specifically, as... Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, the first transport component 120 is capable of rotating laterally along the body 110. It can rotate from the left side of the body 110 to the right side of the body 110, or from the left side of the body 110 to the right side of the body 110. It can also stop rotating at any position between the left side and the right side of the body 110 to maintain its position there.

[0053] The second transport component 140 is rotatably mounted on the machine body 110. By rotating on the machine body 110, the position of the second transport component 140 relative to the machine body 110 can be adjusted so that it aligns with the position of the first transport component 120. This facilitates the transfer of materials from the first transport component 120 to the second transport component 140, preventing material from falling during the transfer process. Simultaneously, it allows the tail-end conveyor component 100 to adjust and adapt the second transport component 140 to the shape of the tunnel or the size of the space when traversing curved tunnels or in narrow spaces, ensuring smooth passage and safety, and preventing collisions with the tunnel walls. Specifically, the second transport component 140 can rotate laterally along the machine body 110, and its rotation plane is parallel to the rotation plane of the first transport component 120. Specifically, as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second transport component 140 swings to the left of the body 110 relative to the body 110. Figure 8 As shown, the second transport component 140 swings relative to the body 110 to the right of the body 110, as... Figure 7 As shown, the second transport component 140 now swings to the right of the body 110 relative to the body 110, and at the same time, the transport section 142 also swings to the right.

[0054] The transport section 142 in the second transport assembly 140 is rotatable relative to the first transport assembly 120 and is used to receive the material conveyed by the first transport assembly 120. By rotating the transport section 142, the relative position between the material receiving part and the first transport assembly 120 can be further adjusted to ensure that the material can be accurately transferred to the transport section 142 to complete the material conveying operation. The rotatable configuration of the transport section 142 relative to the first transport assembly 120 increases the range of positional adjustments for the second transport assembly 140 and improves the accuracy of material transfer. Furthermore, it allows for further adjustment of the position of certain structures of the second transport assembly 140 relative to the machine body 110, enabling the second transport assembly 140 to better adapt to the shape or size of the tunnel, ensuring smooth passage of the tail-end conveyor assembly 100, guaranteeing safe passage, and preventing collisions between the second transport assembly 140 and the tunnel wall.

[0055] Therefore, the tail-swinging conveyor assembly 100 proposed in this invention, by providing a second transport assembly 140 rotatable relative to the machine body 110, and the transport section 142 in the second transport assembly 140 being rotatable relative to the first tail-swinging conveyor assembly 100, allows the transport section 142, which receives materials transported by the first transport assembly 120, to correspond in position with the first transport assembly 120, thereby improving the accuracy of material transfer. Simultaneously, it also ensures that when the tail-swinging conveyor assembly 100 passes through curved tunnels or is located in narrow spaces, the second transport assembly 140 is adapted to the shape of the tunnel or the size of the space, allowing the tail-swinging conveyor assembly 100 to pass smoothly, ensuring safety during passage, avoiding collisions with tunnel walls, improving the passability of the tail-swinging conveyor assembly 100, and increasing the efficiency of the equipment.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second transport assembly 140 includes a boom assembly 148 and a first drive unit 154.

[0057] Specifically, one end of the boom assembly 148 is rotatably connected to the body 110, and the other end of the boom assembly 148 is rotatably connected to the transport section 142. The boom assembly 148 includes at least one boom section. A first drive section 154 is disposed on the boom assembly 148 and is used to drive at least one boom section in the boom assembly 148 to rotate relative to the body 110.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second transport component 140 includes a boom assembly 148 and a first drive unit 154. One end of the boom assembly 148 is rotatably connected to the machine body 110, and the other end is rotatably connected to the transport unit 142. The boom assembly 148 serves as a support, connecting the transport unit 142 and the machine body 110. When the boom assembly 148 rotates relative to the machine body 110, the transport unit 142 also rotates synchronously with the boom, changing the position of the transport unit 142 relative to the machine body 110, and ultimately changing the position of the transport unit 142 relative to the first transport component 120. Furthermore, through the rotatable connection between the transport unit 142 and the boom assembly 148, the relative position between the transport unit 142 and the first transport component 120 can be further changed to ensure that materials can be accurately transferred to the transport unit 142, completing the material transport operation. At the same time, when the tail conveyor assembly 100 passes through a curved tunnel or is located in a narrow space, by adjusting the boom assembly 148 and the transport section 142, the overall shape and volume of the second transport assembly 140 can be adapted to the shape of the tunnel or the size of the space, so that the tail conveyor assembly 100 can pass smoothly, ensure the safety of passage, and avoid collision with the tunnel wall.

[0059] The boom assembly 148 includes at least one boom section, which allows the number of boom sections to be adjusted according to the actual working environment, facilitating the position adjustment process.

[0060] The first drive unit 154 in the second transport assembly 140 is disposed on the boom, and the first drive unit 154 is used to drive at least one section of the boom assembly 148 to rotate relative to the machine body 110. This allows the rotation of the boom assembly 148 to be completed automatically, without the operator needing to manually push it. This improves the overall ease of rotation of the boom assembly 148, reduces the operator's workload, and increases rotation efficiency.

[0061] Specifically, the boom assembly 148 has one boom, and the first drive unit 154 is disposed on this boom and connected to the body 110 for driving this boom to rotate relative to the body 110.

[0062] Furthermore, the boom assembly 148 comprises two booms. The first boom is connected to the body 110, and the second boom is connected to both the first boom and the transport unit 142. A first drive unit 154 is disposed on the second boom, specifically on the boom closer to the transport unit 142. The first drive unit 154 drives the second boom to rotate relative to the first boom. This causes a positional change in the second boom relative to the first boom, thereby changing the position of the second boom relative to the body 110. Ultimately, the overall shape of the second transport assembly 140 changes, and the position of the transport unit 142 relative to the first transport assembly 120 changes.

[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second transport assembly 140 further includes a second drive unit 156, which is connected to the boom assembly 148 and the transport unit 142 respectively, and is used to drive the transport unit 142 to rotate relative to the first transport assembly 120.

[0064] In this embodiment, the second transport assembly 140 further includes a second drive unit 156, which is connected to both the boom assembly 148 and the transport unit 142. The second drive unit 156 drives the transport unit 142 to rotate relative to the first transport assembly 120, thereby enabling the rotation of the transport unit 142 to be completed automatically without the operator needing to manually push it. This improves the overall ease of rotation of the transport unit 142, reduces the operator's workload, and increases rotation efficiency. Furthermore, driving the rotation of the transport unit 142 via the second drive unit 156 facilitates control over the degree of rotation and improves the precision of the driving process. Specifically, the second drive unit 156 drives the transport unit 142 to rotate laterally along the body 110.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the transport unit 142 includes a turntable 144 and a transport track 146.

[0066] Specifically, the turntable 144 is rotatably connected to the boom assembly 148, and the second drive unit 156 is connected to the boom assembly 148 and the turntable 144 respectively, for driving the turntable 144 to rotate relative to the first transport assembly 120; the transport track 146 is provided on the turntable 144 for receiving the materials transported by the first transport assembly 120.

[0067] In this embodiment, the transport unit 142 includes a turntable 144 and a transport track 146. The turntable 144 is rotatably connected to the boom assembly 148. A second drive unit 156 is connected to both the boom assembly 148 and the turntable 144, and is used to drive the turntable 144 to rotate relative to the first transport assembly 120. The second drive unit 156's connection to both the boom assembly 148 and the turntable 144 allows the turntable 144 to rotate relative to the boom assembly 148, thus causing a positional change in the turntable 144 relative to the first transport assembly 120. Furthermore, the second drive unit 156 enables the rotation of the turntable 144 to be completed automatically, without requiring an operator to manually push the turntable 144. In this way, the overall ease of rotation of the rotary table 144 is improved, the labor intensity of the operator is reduced, and the rotation efficiency is increased. Furthermore, by driving the rotation of the rotary table 144 through the second drive unit 156, it is easier to control the degree of rotation and improve the accuracy of the drive process.

[0068] The transport track 146 is installed on the rotary table 144 to receive the materials conveyed by the first transport component 120. The transport track 146 can rotate synchronously with the rotary table 144, thereby adjusting the position of the material receiving part to ensure that the material does not spill during transport.

[0069] Specifically, the boom assembly 148 is provided with a second connecting lug plate, and the second drive unit 156 includes a second hydraulic cylinder. The second hydraulic cylinder includes a second hydraulic cylinder body and a second telescopic rod connected at one end to the second hydraulic cylinder body. The second hydraulic cylinder body is mounted on the second connecting lug plate via a pin, thereby realizing the installation of the second hydraulic cylinder and the boom assembly 148. The second telescopic rod can extend or retract at one end into the second hydraulic cylinder body under the drive of the second hydraulic cylinder body. This end of the second telescopic rod is connected to the turntable 144 to provide rotational driving force for the turntable 144, thereby enabling the turntable 144 to rotate relative to the boom assembly 148.

[0070] Specifically, the second drive unit 156 drives the rotary table 144 to rotate relative to the boom assembly 148, thereby enabling the rotary table 144 to rotate on the boom assembly 148, from the left side of the boom assembly 148 to the right side of the boom assembly 148, or from the right side of the boom assembly 148 to the left side of the boom assembly 148, thus changing the position of the rotary table 144 relative to the boom assembly 148. The position of the transport track 146 located on the rotary table 144 also changes at the same time, thereby adjusting the receiving position of the second transport assembly 140 in the lateral direction.

[0071] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 andFigure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the boom assembly 148 includes a first boom 150 and a second boom 152.

[0072] Specifically, one end of the first boom 150 is rotatably connected to the body 110; the second boom 152 is connected to the other end of the first boom 150, and the transport unit 142 is rotatably connected to the second boom 152; the first drive unit 154 is connected to the first boom 150 and the second boom 152 respectively, and is used to drive the second boom 152 to rotate relative to the first boom 150.

[0073] In this technical solution, the boom assembly 148 includes a first boom 150 and a second boom 152. One end of the first boom 150 is rotatably connected to the machine body 110, and the other end of the second boom 152 is connected to the first boom 150. The transport section 142 is rotatably connected to the second boom 152. A first drive section 154 is connected to both the first boom 150 and the second boom 152, and is used to drive the second boom 152 to rotate relative to the first boom 150. During the process of the first drive section 154 driving the second boom 152 to rotate relative to the first boom 150, the transport section 142, which is mounted on the second boom 152, can be driven by the second boom 152 and rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the relative position between the transport section 142, which receives materials, and the first transport assembly 120, to ensure that materials can be accurately transferred to the transport section 142 to complete the material conveying work. Furthermore, the position of the second transport component 140 relative to the body 110 can be further adjusted so that the second transport component 140 is further adapted to the shape or size of the tunnel, so that the entire tail conveyor component 100 can pass smoothly, ensuring the safety of passage and avoiding collision between the second transport component 140 and the tunnel wall.

[0074] Specifically, the first drive unit 154 is used to drive the second boom 152 to rotate laterally relative to the first boom 150 along the body 110.

[0075] Specifically, the first boom 150 is provided with a first connecting lug plate, and the first drive unit 154 includes a first hydraulic cylinder. The first hydraulic cylinder includes a first hydraulic cylinder body and a first telescopic rod connected at one end to the first hydraulic cylinder body. The first hydraulic cylinder body is mounted on the first connecting lug plate via a pin, thereby realizing the installation of the first hydraulic cylinder and the first boom 150. The first telescopic rod can extend or retract at one end into the first hydraulic cylinder body under the drive of the first hydraulic cylinder body. This end of the first telescopic rod is connected to the second boom 152 to provide a rotational driving force for the second boom 152, thereby enabling the second boom 152 to rotate relative to the first boom 150.

[0076] The second boom 152 is equipped with a second connecting lug plate. The second drive unit 156 includes a second hydraulic cylinder, which comprises a cylinder body and a second telescopic rod connected at one end to the cylinder body. The cylinder body is mounted on the second connecting lug plate via a pin, thereby enabling the cylinder to be mounted on the second boom 152. The second telescopic rod can extend or retract at one end into the cylinder body under the drive of the cylinder body. This end of the telescopic rod is connected to the turntable 144 to provide a rotational driving force for the turntable 144, thereby enabling the turntable 144 to rotate relative to the second boom 152.

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the boom assembly 148 further includes a third drive unit 158, which is connected to the body 110 and the first boom 150 respectively. The third drive unit 158 ​​is used to drive the first boom 150 to rotate relative to the body 110.

[0078] In this embodiment, the boom assembly 148 further includes a third drive unit 158, which is connected to the machine body 110 and the first boom 150. The third drive unit 158 ​​is used to drive the first boom 150 to rotate relative to the machine body 110. By driving the third drive unit 158, the position of the first boom 150 relative to the machine body 110 can be changed, realizing the movement of the first boom 150 along the height direction of the machine body 110, thereby causing the first boom 150 to move closer to or further away from the first transport assembly 120. By changing the position of the first boom 150, the distance between the first transport assembly 120 and the transport unit 142 can be changed, ensuring that materials can be accurately transferred to the transport unit 142.

[0079] Furthermore, the third drive unit 158 ​​drives the first boom 150 to rotate relative to the body 110, enabling the rotation of the first boom 150 to be completed automatically without the operator needing to push it. This improves the overall ease of rotation of the first boom 150, reduces the operator's workload, and increases rotation efficiency. Moreover, using the third drive unit 158 ​​to drive the rotation of the first boom 150 facilitates control over the degree of rotation and improves the precision of the drive process.

[0080] During the process of the third drive unit 158 ​​driving the first boom 150 to rotate relative to the body 110, the first boom 150 is raised or lowered accordingly, thereby changing the height of the first boom 150 relative to the ground of the tail-swinging material conveying assembly 100, ensuring the safety of the first boom 150, avoiding friction between the first boom 150 and the ground during travel, and thus improving the overall passability of the tail-swinging material conveying assembly 100 in complex road conditions.

[0081] Specifically, the body 110 is provided with a third connecting lug, and the third drive unit 158 ​​includes a third hydraulic cylinder. The third hydraulic cylinder includes a third hydraulic cylinder body and a third telescopic rod connected at one end to the third hydraulic cylinder body. The third hydraulic cylinder body is mounted on the third connecting lug via a pin, thereby realizing the installation of the third hydraulic cylinder and the body 110. The third telescopic rod can extend or retract at one end into the third hydraulic cylinder body under the drive of the third hydraulic cylinder body. This end of the third telescopic rod is connected to the first boom 150 to provide rotational driving force for the first boom 150, thereby enabling the first boom 150 to rotate relative to the body 110, raising or lowering its height, and realizing the height adjustment of the transport unit 142.

[0082] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first transport component 120 includes a connecting frame 122 and a discharge section 124.

[0083] Specifically, one end of the connecting part is rotatably connected to the machine body 110; the discharge part 124 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting frame 122; the fourth drive part 130 is connected to the connecting frame 122 and the machine body 110 respectively, and is used to drive the connecting frame 122 to rotate relative to the machine body 110.

[0084] In this embodiment, the first transport assembly 120 includes a connecting frame 122 and a discharge section 124. One end of the connecting frame 122 is rotatably connected to the machine body 110, and the discharge section 124 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting frame 122. The connecting frame 122 connects the machine body 110 and the discharge section 124. The first transport assembly 120 also includes a fourth drive unit 130, which is connected to the connecting frame 122 and the machine body 110 respectively. The fourth drive unit 130 drives the connecting frame 122 to rotate relative to the machine body 110, and the connecting member to rotate relative to the machine body 110. This causes the discharge section 124 located on the connecting member to also change position, changing the position of the discharge section 124 relative to the machine body 110, and ultimately changing the relative position of the discharge section 124 and the transport section 142, so that the two are adapted. Furthermore, the presence of the fourth drive unit 130 allows the rotation process of the connecting frame 122 to be completed automatically, without the need for an operator to push the connecting frame 122 to complete the rotation process. In this way, the overall ease of rotation of the connecting frame 122 is improved, the labor intensity of the operator is reduced, the rotation efficiency is increased, and the rotation of the connecting parts is driven by the fourth drive unit 130, which makes it easier to control the degree of rotation and improves the accuracy of the drive process.

[0085] The discharge section 124 is installed on the connecting frame 122 and is used to convey materials. The discharge section 124 can rotate synchronously with the connecting frame 122, thereby adjusting the position of the material conveying section. This ensures the reliability of material transportation and prevents material spillage by adjusting the relative positions of the discharge section 124 (for conveying materials) and the transport section 142 (for receiving materials) during material transportation.

[0086] Specifically, the body 110 is provided with a fourth connecting lug, and the fourth drive unit 130 includes a fourth hydraulic cylinder. The fourth hydraulic cylinder includes a fourth hydraulic cylinder body and a fourth telescopic rod connected at one end to the fourth hydraulic cylinder body. The fourth hydraulic cylinder body is mounted on the fourth connecting lug via a pin, thereby realizing the installation of the fourth hydraulic cylinder and the body 110. The fourth telescopic rod can extend or retract into the fourth hydraulic cylinder body under the drive of the fourth hydraulic cylinder body. This end of the fourth telescopic rod is connected to the connecting frame 122 to provide a rotational driving force for the connecting frame 122, thereby enabling the connecting frame 122 to rotate relative to the body 110 and raise or lower its height.

[0087] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first transport component 120 further includes a fifth drive unit 132, which is connected to the connecting frame 122 and the discharge unit 124 respectively, and is used to drive the discharge unit 124 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 122.

[0088] In this embodiment, the first transport component 120 further includes a fifth drive unit 132, which is connected to the connecting frame 122 and the discharge unit 124 respectively. The fifth drive unit 132 drives the discharge unit 124 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 122, thereby changing the position of the discharge unit 124 relative to the connecting frame 122. The fourth drive unit 130 and the fifth drive unit 132 work together to ultimately adjust the position of the discharge unit 124 relative to the machine body 110 along the height and width directions, thereby achieving a positional correspondence between the discharge unit 124 and the transport unit 142, ensuring accurate material transfer.

[0089] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the discharge section 124 includes a support frame 126 and a transfer track 128.

[0090] Specifically, the support frame 126 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 122, and the fifth drive unit 132 is connected to the support frame 126 and the connecting frame 122 respectively, for driving the support frame 126 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 122; the transfer track 128 is provided on the support frame 126 for conveying materials.

[0091] In this embodiment, the discharge section 124 includes a support frame 126 and a transfer track 128. The support frame 126 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 122. A fifth drive unit 132 is connected to both the support frame 126 and the connecting frame 122, and is used to drive the support frame 126 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 122. This allows the support frame 126 to swing to the left or right of the connecting frame 122. The transfer track 128 is mounted on the support frame 126 and can rotate synchronously with the support frame 126. By driving the support frame 126 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 122 via the fifth drive unit 132, the position of the transfer track 128 can be adjusted. This completes the transfer process of the excavated material by adjusting the position of the first transport component 120 to align with the position of the second transport component 140. The transfer track 128 is used to transport materials. The materials can enter the front end of the transfer track 128, and then be driven to the rear end of the transfer track 128 by the rotating track. After that, they will leave the transfer track 128 and fall below the transfer track 128 and fall into the second transport component 140, thus completing the material transport process.

[0092] Specifically, the connecting frame 122 is provided with a fifth connecting lug plate, and the fifth drive unit 132 includes a fifth hydraulic cylinder. The fifth hydraulic cylinder includes a fifth hydraulic cylinder body and a fifth telescopic rod connected at one end to the fifth hydraulic cylinder body. The fifth hydraulic cylinder body is mounted on the fifth connecting lug plate via a pin, thereby realizing the installation of the fifth hydraulic cylinder and the connecting frame 122. The fifth telescopic rod can extend or retract at one end into the fifth hydraulic cylinder body under the drive of the fifth hydraulic cylinder body. This end of the fifth telescopic rod is connected to the support frame 126 to provide a rotational driving force for the support frame 126, thereby enabling the support frame 126 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 122 and move laterally along the machine body 110.

[0093] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the tail-wagging material conveying assembly 100 further includes an operation unit 160, which is connected to the body 110.

[0094] In this embodiment, the tail-end conveying assembly 100 further includes an operation unit 160. The body 110 is connected to the operation unit 160. The operation unit 160 can control the rotation of the first transport assembly 120 and the second transport assembly 140, so that the positions of the first transport assembly 120 and the second transport assembly 140 correspond, and the material transported on the first transport assembly 120 can be transferred to the second transport assembly 140. Furthermore, by controlling the rotation of the second transport assembly 140, the second transport assembly 140 can be adapted to the curved shape of the tunnel, increasing the throughput capacity of the tunneling equipment.

[0095] In one embodiment of the present invention, a tunneling device is also proposed, including the tail-swinging material conveying assembly 100 as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0096] In this embodiment, the tunneling equipment, having included the tail-swinging material conveying assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, possesses all the beneficial effects of the tail-swinging material conveying assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0097] The tail-end conveying assembly 100, by incorporating a second transport assembly 140 rotatable relative to the machine body 110, and the transport section 142 within the second transport assembly 140 being rotatable relative to the first tail-end conveying assembly 100, allows the transport section 142, which receives materials from the first transport assembly 120, to align with the position of the first transport assembly 120, thus improving the accuracy of material transfer. Simultaneously, when traversing curved tunnels or in narrow spaces, the second transport assembly 140 adapts to the shape of the tunnel or the size of the space, ensuring smooth passage, safety, and preventing collisions with the tunnel walls. This enhances the maneuverability and efficiency of the tunneling equipment.
