Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of arch construction technology in mine roadways, and more particularly to an arch frame installation trolley for mines. Background Technology

[0002] In mine tunnel construction, when the surrounding rock is of poor quality, arch support is often required to improve the stability of the surrounding rock.

[0003] Traditionally, the operation was entirely manual: workers stood on the core soil or a fixed steel platform, in groups of two or three, using their shoulders or simple tools to support the arches. This manual arch erection method suffers from harsh working conditions, high risks, high labor intensity, and low construction efficiency. Techniques have emerged to use mechanized equipment to replace manual labor for arch installation. This typically involves installing an aerial work platform and a robotic arm at the end of a vehicle's boom. Multiple booms are used, and the arches are installed by moving the booms to the appropriate positions.

[0004] The width × height of a mine roadway is approximately 4m × 4m to 5m × 5m. Due to the limited space in the mine roadway, there are more than one existing arch frame installation trolley boom, which makes it impossible to freely tilt and swing within the roadway. The arch frames on both sides need to be manually supported, which has problems such as harsh working environment, high labor intensity, high risk, and poor construction quality.

[0036] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, a detailed description of the invention is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In this document, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," etc., are used interchangeably with other directional terms. Figure 1 The orientation is used as a reference.

[0037] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] During arch frame installation, the arch frame is generally divided into three sections. Existing arch frame installation trolleys typically have three booms, with the boom ends connected to an aerial work platform where a robotic arm is mounted. The boom swings to the appropriate position within the space, and workers on the aerial work platform operate the robotic arm and perform connection operations. However, due to the limited space in mine roadways (approximately 4m x 4m to 5m x 5m), existing arch frame installation trolleys with three booms cannot operate within this limited range. The arch frames on both sides need to be manually lifted to the installation position, which presents problems such as harsh working conditions, high labor intensity, high risk, and poor construction quality. This invention achieves pitching and lateral movement within a limited range using a single boom, while simultaneously using three robotic arms to hoist the arch frame to the designated position. Furthermore, when connection operations are needed between arch frames, workers can work from a telescopic work platform. A single boom not only saves overall costs but also accomplishes arch frame installation in confined mine roadways where three booms cannot. It adopts a multi-manipulator telescopic work platform integrated structure, which reduces the number of booms, adapts to small cross-section arches, and has high work efficiency.

[0040] In the following text, the actuator is preferably a hydraulic cylinder, especially a hydraulic cylinder.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The arch frame installation trolley includes an articulated frame 1, a boom assembly 4, a telescopic work platform 5, and a robotic arm 6.

The steering system is hydraulically powered and includes a hydraulic pump, filter, oil tank, steering gear, steering cylinder, and oil pipes. When the steering wheel is not turned, the oil pumped in returns to the oil tank through the steering gear. When the steering wheel is turned, the oil pumped in is pushed into one side of the cylinder by the reversing valve, thus turning the wheels. When turning right, the oil enters the left cylinder; when turning left, the oil enters the right cylinder. The arch frame installation trolley of this application adopts an articulated chassis frame, which is highly flexible and can pass through narrow aisles, facilitating the transfer of small cross-section aisles.

[0050] A middle robot 63 is provided between the two working platform winches 54 and is detachably connected to the middle fixed platform 51 via a middle robot mounting base 55. The lower part of the middle fixed platform 51 is provided with a left robot mounting base 56 connected to the left robot 61 and a right robot mounting base 57 connected to the right robot 62.

[0051] The lower part of the left telescopic platform 52 is connected to the middle fixed platform 51 via the second telescopic actuator 59, and the upper end of the left telescopic platform 52 is inserted into the middle fixed platform 51.

The actions of the engine power system 12 driving the front wheels 8 and rear wheels 9, and the electric pump unit 13 driving the arch frame installation, can be automatically switched between the electrical and hydraulic systems. The engine power system 12 and the electric pump unit 13 share a single hydraulic oil tank, which is equipped with a radiator to cool the hydraulic oil.

[0082] The cab, located on the front frame and perpendicular to the vehicle body, allows the mining arch frame installation trolley to be driven in both directions.

[0083] The control device for controlling the operation of the mining arch frame installation trolley includes an electrical system and a hydraulic system mounted on the rear frame. The electrical system consists of an electrical control cabinet and an operating box. The operating box is used to control the movement of the telescopic work platform, the left manipulator, the middle manipulator, the right manipulator, and the boom cylinders. The hydraulic system consists of hydraulic pipelines and hydraulic valve groups distributed throughout the machine. By controlling the opening and closing of the hydraulic valve ports, the movement of the cylinders and hydraulic components is achieved.

[0084] The hydraulic system provides power to the telescopic work platform, left manipulator, middle manipulator, right manipulator, boom, and chassis steering mechanism.

[0085] The mining arch frame installation trolley of this invention features an articulated chassis structure and a steering cylinder, ensuring flexible and convenient steering while maintaining vehicle balance and stability during turns. The simple chassis structure facilitates maintenance and enhances overall reliability. The chassis employs a four-wheel drive system, effectively improving its driving capability. The articulated engineering chassis supports the boom, cab, motor-pump unit, engine power system, hydraulic tank, and cable reel. Furthermore, the engine power system can automatically drive the arch frame installation mechanism in emergencies, and automatic switching between the electrical and hydraulic systems eliminates the need for manual disassembly of hydraulic lines, thus improving the construction efficiency of the mining arch frame installation trolley. This mining arch frame installation trolley significantly improves the efficiency of arch frame installation through mechanized installation, substantially reduces worker workload, improves the working environment, and saves on construction costs. Simultaneously, the power unit adopts a dual-power drive mode: the engine power system drives the arch frame installation trolley, while the motor-pump unit drives the arch frame installation device for installation, thereby reducing exhaust emissions and improving the working environment. This mining arch frame installation trolley has advantages such as high integration, compact structure, small size, flexible movement, and high efficiency in arch frame installation. It can be used in narrow mine tunnels, improving the adaptability of the mining arch frame installation trolley.

[0086] The arch frame installation process is as follows: When hoisting the intermediate arch frame, the arch frame placed on the ground is suspended by ropes in the winch 54 of the working platform on the central fixed platform 51. The arch frame is flexibly lifted in an inverted manner. During the upward lifting process, the central manipulator 63 grabs the middle position of the arch frame, releases the ropes, and the arch frame 180 degrees is flipped over. The arch frame is then moved by the boom assembly 4 and placed in the arch frame installation location in the tunnel. When flexibly picking up the left arch frame, two lifting points are set up. The winch lowers the ropes, the left winch 618 on the left manipulator 61 lifts the front end of the arch frame, and the winch 54 on the central fixed platform 51 on the same side lifts the rear end of the arch frame, lifting it from the ground. During the lifting process, the left winch 618 on the left manipulator 61 slowly retracts the ropes, and the winch 54 on the central fixed platform 51 slowly releases the ropes to maintain a stable balance and prevent the arch frame from swaying. During the hoisting process, the rope outlet of the left guide pulley 6111 is between the two limiting frames 6113, and the arch frame will eventually fall into the limiting frame on the robotic arm for positioning. Similarly, the process for the right arch frame is the same as the flexible picking and hoisting process for the left arch frame. Workers connect the three arch frames at the joints on the left telescopic platform 52 and the right telescopic platform 53 to complete the arch erection process.
