Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a walking track of a wheel type turning machine. More specifically: in the case of using a wheel type turning machine in a dynamic composting process, by a unique walking track surface structure, prevent the track area water from slipping with the turning machine, and achieve the purpose of improving the track cleaning efficiency. BACKGROUND

[0002] Composting technology is divided into two major categories of dynamic composting and static composting, among which dynamic composting is realized by turning equipment to realize the mixing and mixing of compost materials. The traditional turning equipment can be divided into wheel type, wheel rail type and track type according to the walking mode, among which the wheel type turning machine generally uses solid rubber tire or inflatable rubber tire as the walking mechanism.

[0003] At present, the wheel type turning machine is used for the top surface of the tunnel warehouse bracket beam or the top surface of the fermentation tank wall, and the walking track is generally made by laying embossed steel plate, which brings the following problems:

[0004] (1) The composting process is in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, and the turning machine walking track surface will condense a large amount of water, causing the turning machine walking wheel to slip under heavy load working condition, affecting the turning efficiency and even unable to run normally.

[0005] (2) The slipping of the walking wheel will cause the control system to misjudge and bring potential operation risk for the turning equipment using encoder positioning.

[0006] (3) During the working process of the turning machine, the compost material will often splash onto the track surface, and after being rolled by the turning machine, it will stick to the wheel and cause deviation and even falling accidents. SUMMARY

[0007] Therefore, the main purpose of the present application is to provide a wheel type turning machine walking track, which prevents the track area water from slipping with the turning machine by a unique walking track surface structure, and achieves the purpose of improving the track cleaning efficiency.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the technical scheme of the present application is as follows: a walking track of a wheel type heap turning machine is provided, which comprises a rail shoulder, an upper bottom edge, a lower bottom edge, a rail ridge, and a water collecting groove. The rail ridge upward direction along the slope is the turning direction of the heap turning machine, and the rail ridge downward direction along the slope is the returning direction of the heap turning machine. The absolute height difference between the upper bottom edge and the lower bottom edge is 1-1000 mm. The heap turning equipment walks on the walking track surface from the tail to the head to turn the heap. When heavy load is encountered, the walking wheel is prevented from slipping under the action of the rail shoulder. The condensed water on the track is condensed in the space surrounded by the rail shoulder, the upper bottom edge, the lower bottom edge, and the rail ridge. The condensed water flows into the water collecting groove through the height difference between the upper bottom edge and the lower bottom edge. The falling compost material is also located in the space surrounded by the rail shoulder, the upper bottom edge, the lower bottom edge, and the rail ridge. The cleaning effect is achieved by water flushing during the maintenance process. The process achieves the following purposes: (1) the heap turning equipment is not easy to slip under heavy load working condition; (2) the water on the walking track of the heap turning machine can be removed at any time, further preventing the heap turning machine from slipping; (3) the adverse effects of the falling compost material on the heap turning process are greatly alleviated, and the falling compost material is easily removed during the maintenance process. The rail shoulder is a vertical steel casting or welding structure. The upper side of the rail shoulder is the maximum absolute height of the walking track of the wheel type heap turning machine. The width of the rail shoulder matches the width of the walking wheel of the heap turning machine. The strength of the rail shoulder meets the dynamic load requirements of the heap turning machine.

[0009] The upper bottom edge is a steel casting or welding structure. The upper bottom edge is connected with the rail shoulder, the lower bottom edge, and the rail ridge. The absolute height difference between the upper bottom edge and the rail shoulder is 5-1000 mm. The strength of the upper bottom edge meets the dynamic load requirements of the heap turning machine.

[0010] The lower bottom edge is a steel casting or welding structure. The lower bottom edge is connected with the rail shoulder, the upper bottom edge, and the rail ridge. The absolute height difference between the lower bottom edge and the rail shoulder is 6-1001 mm. The strength of the lower bottom edge meets the dynamic load requirements of the heap turning machine.

[0011] The rail ridge is a steel casting or welding structure. The rail ridge is connected with the rail shoulder, the upper bottom edge, and the lower bottom edge. The width of the rail ridge is equal to the width of the rail shoulder. The strength of the rail ridge meets the dynamic load requirements of the heap turning machine.

[0012] The water collecting groove is a steel casting or welding structure. One side of the water collecting groove is connected with the rail shoulder, the rail ridge, and the lower bottom edge. The cross-sectional size of the water collecting groove meets the dehumidification calculation requirements of the compost system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Its absolute elevation difference with the rail shoulder is 5-1000mm, and its strength meets the requirements of the turner's motor load. The lower bottom edge 3 is a steel casting or welding structure, connected to the rail shoulder, upper bottom edge, and rail ridge. Its absolute elevation difference with the rail shoulder is 6-1001mm, and its strength meets the requirements of the turner's motor load. The rail ridge 4 is a steel casting or welding structure, connected to the rail shoulder, upper bottom edge, and lower bottom edge. Its width is equal to that of the rail shoulder, and its strength meets the requirements of the turner's motor load. The water collection trough 5 is a steel casting or welding structure, connected to the rail shoulder, rail ridge, and lower bottom edge on one side. Its cross-sectional dimensions meet the calculation requirements of the dehumidification capacity of the composting system.

[0022] (1) Turning equipment is not easy to slip under heavy load conditions.

[0023] (2) The water on the track area of the turning machine can be removed at any time, further preventing the turning machine from slipping.

[0024] (3) The adverse effects of the compost material splashed onto the track surface on the turning process are greatly alleviated, and the material is easy to be removed during maintenance.

[0025] Obviously, those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned subsystems or steps of the present application can be realized by general civil installation, pipes, mechanical parts, etc., which can be integrated in one system or integrated in multiple subsystems to form a project.
