Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an accessory of a transport vehicle used in underground coal mines, in particular to a rail lifting device. Background Art

[0002] During underground coal mining operations, transport vehicles work with coal mining machinery to continuously advance on the fully mechanized mining face to complete the coal mining operation. Currently, a coal mining roadway transport vehicle group consists of several transport vehicles connected end to end. These groups typically utilize self-propelled rails, meaning the transport vehicle group carries and drives the rails themselves, and then travels on these rails. Currently, coal mining roadway transport vehicles utilize a rail-lifting device installed at the bottom of the vehicle to lift the rails, which then drives the rails in the direction of travel. After the rails have completed their travel, they fall to the ground, and the coal mining roadway transport vehicle continues on the rails. However, because the rail-lifting device is located at the bottom of the vehicle, it is inconvenient to install and inspect, and the maintenance cost is high.

[0003] At the same time, when each vehicle is lifted or lowered by a lifting device such as a hydraulic jack, the lifting or lowering speed is different due to the different total load mass of each vehicle. The speed at which the track is lifted or lowered by the track lifting device installed at the bottom of the vehicle is also different. The track corresponding to the lower part of the vehicle with a heavy load is lifted or lowered slowly, while the track corresponding to the lower part of the vehicle with a light load is lifted or lowered quickly, resulting in different lifting or lowering times for the tracks between different vehicles, causing internal stress and external deformation of the tracks, especially the joints are more susceptible to damage, resulting in damage and destruction of the tracks over time.

[0004] In addition, when one fully mechanized mining face is mined and moved to the next fully mechanized mining face, the coal mining tunnel transport vehicle group cannot use the self-moving track, and it is necessary to lay a turning track for the coal mining tunnel transport vehicle group to travel. At this time, the existing rail lifting device set at the bottom of the vehicle is not suitable for the turning track and needs to be disassembled, which also causes inconvenience in installation and maintenance and high maintenance costs.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a rail lifting device that is easy to install and repair, has low maintenance cost, and does not cause damage to the track. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The rail lifting device of the present invention is arranged at the end of the coal mining tunnel transport vehicle and is detachably connected to the adjacent vehicles, which is convenient for installation, maintenance and disassembly, and has low maintenance costs. The different heights of adjacent vehicles are caused by different lifting or lowering speeds due to different loads. The lifting beam 2 is arranged between adjacent vehicles and has a certain length. The rail clamping frame 4 slides inside the chute 3 to reduce or absorb the height difference so that the time difference of lifting or lowering the rail is reduced, preventing the rail from generating internal stress and external deformation, keeping the rail in good condition, and extending the service life of the rail. It should be understood that the length of the lifting beam 2 and the height of the chute 3 can be adjusted to adapt to different working conditions.
