Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipe tunnel construction, and in particular to a vehicle for constructing prefabricated parts in a pipe tunnel. Background Art

[0002] Underground utility corridors are public tunnels built beneath cities to centrally route municipal pipelines for electricity, communications, radio and television, water supply, and other services. They can alleviate increasingly severe urban issues such as land shortages and environmental degradation, and are a crucial foundation and fundamental guarantee for urban survival.

[0003] The horizontal interfaces of existing underground integrated pipeline corridors are mostly rectangular or circular. Due to the large number of municipal pipelines, different types of pipelines need to be placed separately. The existing layered structure of the pipeline corridor mainly adopts the form of placing linings on both sides, and then setting up partitions on the linings to separate the pipeline corridors up and down.

[0004] If the lining is cast in-situ in the tunnel, the confined space makes large-scale construction difficult, resulting in low construction efficiency. Furthermore, the accumulation of various formwork, building materials, and equipment within the tunnel poses a significant safety hazard and hinders subsequent cleaning. Prefabricating the lining and installing it in the tunnel after completion could address these issues. However, due to the large weight of each prefabricated liner and the limited space within the tunnel, installation within the tunnel is extremely challenging. Typically, a small crane capable of accessing the tunnel is used to lift and transport the prefabricated liner. Upon reaching the installation location, the liner is turned and manually adjusted before being lowered. Throughout the installation process, due to the prefabricated liner's weight and inertia, as well as the crane's performance and visibility, the liner frequently collides with the tunnel's inner walls or other components. This can lead to damage or breakage of the liner. In even more serious cases, the prefabricated liner can collide with workers, causing serious safety accidents. This is especially true for circular tunnels, where the prefabricated lining has an arc shape, and the lifting and installation angles are strictly restricted, making precise installation and control particularly difficult. This results in uncontrollable spacing between the curved prefabricated linings, which is basically unrepairable after installation.

[0005] Furthermore, underground utility corridors stretch for several kilometers and lack the same rapid ventilation as outdoor environments. Exhaust gases emitted by small cranes working for extended periods inside the corridors can seriously pollute the work environment and cause serious health hazards to workers. This phenomenon becomes more pronounced the deeper the work progresses, resulting in a decrease in work time and efficiency throughout the installation process. Summary of the Invention

[0059] The following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of various embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments described in the present invention, all other embodiments derived by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] Example 1: Figures 1 to 32 As shown, a prefabricated component installation vehicle for pipe galleries and tunnels includes a base 1, a travel unit 2, a driving unit 3, a hydraulic control unit 4, an energy supply unit 5, and a lifting unit 6. The travel unit 2 is a crawler-type travel mechanism comprising a plurality of frames 21 and crawler tracks 22 located on both sides of the frames. The crawler-type travel mechanism's drive device is located within the crawler tracks 22 and is electrically driven. A traction unhooking device 9 is also provided on the front frame 21.

[0061] The traction unhooking device 9 includes a housing 90, within which is disposed a buffer chamber 92. A telescopic device 93 is disposed within the buffer chamber 92. A joint assembly extending out of the housing 90 is mounted on the telescopic device 93. The joint assembly includes an extension housing 91, within which is disposed an extension shaft 94. A cover plate 941 is disposed on the top of the extension housing 91. A movable window 942 is disposed below the cover plate. Several upper pin seats 943 are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the cover plate 941. The extension shaft 94 is provided with several lower pin seats 944, extending out of the movable window 942 and uniformly and movably arranged along the circumference, that mate with the upper pin seats 943. A grab hook 945 is rotatably mounted on the upper pin seat 943. A connecting rod 946 is rotatably mounted on the lower pin seat 944, which is rotatably connected to the grab hook 945. A spring 947 is disposed between the cover plate 941 and the extension shaft 94. The housing 90 and the extension housing 91 are respectively provided with an outer adjustment window 95 and an inner adjustment window 911. The inner adjustment window 911 is provided with a removable stopper 912, which moves on the outer adjustment window 95. The telescopic device 93 is a hydraulic cylinder. A mounting plate 97 is provided at the bottom of the housing. A sliding bearing 98 is also provided within the buffer chamber 91, which cooperates with the extension shaft 94. The housing 91 is also provided with a collision prevention plate 99.

[0062] During use, the connector assembly is pushed outward by the telescopic device 93. When the connector assembly contacts the hook and the telescopic device 93 continues to operate, the connector assembly stops moving forward, while the extension shaft 94 continues to move, compressing the spring 947 and driving the hook 945 inward to grab the hook. To release the hook, the telescopic device 93 simply retracts, and the hook 945, under the action of the spring 947, moves outward, disengaging from the hook, and then returning to its normal state. The vehicle does not need to be moved during both the grabbing and releasing phases. After parking, the towing and unhooking device 9 can automatically pull or unhook.

[0063] The base 1 is fixedly mounted on the vehicle frame and includes a front platform 11 and a rear platform 12. The front platform 11 is provided with a rotating platform 111. The driving unit 3 includes a cockpit 31, which is provided on the rotating platform 111. The hoisting unit 6 is provided on the cockpit 31. The hydraulic control unit 4 is a hydraulic station, and a removable hydraulic station protective cover 41 is provided on the outside of the hydraulic control unit 4. The energy supply unit 5 includes a battery pack, which is provided with an inner cover 52 and an outer cover 51. The bottom of the outer cover 51 is provided with a tapered locating pin 55. The rear platform 12 is provided with a locating hole 121 that mates with the tapered locating pin 55. The top of the outer cover 51 is also provided with a hoisting plate 53, which is also provided with a hoisting hole 54. A reinforcing rib is provided between the hoisting plate 53 and the hoisting hole 54. A removable battery pack protective cover 56 is also provided on the outside of the energy supply unit 5. The hydraulic control unit 4 and the energy supply unit 5 are arranged on the rear platform 12. Since the hydraulic station and the battery pack assembly weigh several tons, the hydraulic control unit 4 and the energy supply unit 5 here also serve as counterweight assemblies to maintain the balance between the front platform 11 and the rear platform 12, so that the front platform and the rear platform always remain balanced when the installation vehicle is running or stopped.

[0064] The bottom of the cockpit 31 is equipped with a cockpit slewing bearing 31 fixed to the rotating platform 111 and a drive gear set A-35 that cooperates with the cockpit slewing bearing. The drive gear set A-35 also engages with an angle sensor A-8. A main support shaft 36 is also installed on the rotating platform 111. The cockpit 31 also includes a door 34 and an observation window 33.

[0065] Angle sensor A-8 includes a support base 81, on which an encoder frame 88 is mounted. The encoder 82 is mounted. The encoder frame comprises an upper frame 88 and a lower frame 89, with an elastic pad positioned between them. The support base 81 is connected to a speed measuring gear 83 via an encoder shaft. A shaft sleeve 84 is mounted on the encoder shaft, and a retaining ring 85 is mounted on the speed measuring gear 83. A bearing for the encoder shaft is positioned within the retaining ring 85. A movable flat key 86 is mounted on the shaft sleeve 84, and a positioning hole 87 is provided in the retaining ring 85 for the flat key 86. A micro-motor for controlling the flat key 86 is housed within the shaft sleeve 84. A removable mobile power supply is also located within the shaft sleeve 84 to power the micro-motor. The encoder is a magnetic encoder.

[0066] To save power, when encoder 82 is turned off, key 86 is controlled to disengage from positioning hole 87, disengaging retaining ring 85 from sleeve 84 so that they do not interfere with each other. At this point, encoder 82 is disengaged from speed gear 83. When encoder 82 is needed, key 86 is controlled to enter positioning hole 87, connecting retaining ring 85 to sleeve 84, thus connecting encoder 82 to speed gear 83. If key 86 can enter positioning hole 87, this indicates that speed gear 83 did not rotate while encoder 82 was off, or that the rotation was so small that it was smoothed out by key 86 entering positioning hole 87. If key 86 cannot enter all at once, speed gear 83 is slightly moved left or right until key 86 enters positioning hole 87. As long as key 86 enters positioning hole 87, the current state of speed gear 83 is consistent with the state before encoder 82 was turned off, and measurement errors will not occur.

[0067] The hoisting unit includes a six-directional motion robot arm 6 and a gripper 7. The six-directional motion robot arm includes a front and rear telescopic arm 61, an upper and lower adjustment arm 62 connected to the front and rear telescopic arm 61, a rotational adjustment arm 63 connected to the upper and lower adjustment arm 62, and a horizontal adjustment arm 64 connected to the rotational adjustment arm 63.

Support rollers 38 are symmetrically positioned at the front and rear ends of the sliding chamber 36, contacting the front and rear telescopic arms 61. Essentially, there are four support rollers 38 at each end, positioned two opposite each other. These rollers allow the front and rear telescopic arms 61 to move more smoothly within the sliding chamber 36. The upper housing 35 is also equipped with a displacement sensor A-39, located directly below the telescopic cylinder A-37. A fixed plate 612 is positioned at the front end of the front and rear telescopic arms 61, topped by a placement plate 613.

[0071] The square tube 631 also includes a vertical cavity 638. The horizontal adjustment arm 64 includes an inner arm 641, which passes through the vertical cavity 638. The inner arm 641 is provided with a limit rack 649. The square tube 637 is provided with a limit tooth set 639 that cooperates with the limit rack 642. The limit tooth set 639 drives the inner arm 641 to slide up and down within the square tube 631 through rotation. Support rollers 38 are also symmetrically provided at the upper and lower ends of the vertical cavity 638, contacting the inner arm 641. Each end of the vertical cavity 638 is provided with four support rollers 38, each symmetrically arranged in pairs. The support rollers 38 allow the inner arm 641 to slide more smoothly within the vertical cavity 638.

[0072] The bottom of the inner arm 641 is provided with a mounting plate 642, which is mounted on a horizontal slewing bearing 643.

[0073] The overall rotation of the six-directional motion manipulator 6 is driven by the cockpit slewing bearing 31, which in turn drives the six-directional motion manipulator 6, which can rotate 360°. The front and rear telescopic arms 61 are driven by the telescopic cylinder 37 to move forward and backward within the sliding chamber 36, with the movement distance monitored by the displacement sensor A-39. The upper and lower adjustment arms 62 are driven by the telescopic cylinder B-616 to move up and down, with the movement distance detected by the displacement sensor B-617. The rotary adjustment arm 63 is driven by the rotary slewing bearing 625 to rotate. While theoretically capable of 360° rotation, only 180° is required in practice.

Then, the six-directional motion robot arm 6 is used to position the grab plate 71 above the prefabricated part so that the hook device 713 is aligned with the prefabricated part. The hook device 713 is then hooked to the prefabricated part. The hook cylinder 7135 is then used to push the hook 7134 to prevent the prefabricated part from falling. The six-directional motion robot arm 6 then moves the clamping assembly 711 and the limiting assembly 712 to the two ends of the prefabricated part. Then, the limiting plate 7126 and the pressure block 7113 are respectively clamped to the prefabricated part by the cylinder B-7124 and the cylinder A-7114.

[0079] The specific installation process for curved prefabricated components is as follows: a six-axis motion robot moves to a transfer vehicle or prefabricated component storage area. The six-axis motion robot then adjusts the gripper's hook to hook onto the prefabricated component's hook. The clamping and limiting assemblies are then activated, with the limiting assembly and the clamping assembly resting against the bottom of the curved prefabricated component. Once securely clamped, the six-axis motion robot positions the curved prefabricated component horizontally and then installs it into the inner wall of a pipe gallery or tunnel. This method allows for the installation of one prefabricated component per minute with high precision, resulting in a spacing of less than 5mm between prefabricated components.
