Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of trench excavation technology, specifically to a trench excavation device for use near roads. Background Technology
[0002] During road construction, it is often necessary to dig trenches along the roadside to lay facilities such as water pipes, cables, and natural gas pipelines. In the current technology, trenches are generally dug by excavators. However, when excavating trenches along some narrow road sections, the large size of excavators makes it difficult for them to operate, which in turn hinders the excavation of trenches along narrow road sections and delays the work progress.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113502863B discloses a straight excavation device for foundation pits in building construction. The device includes a motor, a handle fixedly mounted on the surface of the motor, a drill rod mounted on the lower side of the motor, connecting rods symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the motor, a sliding tube fixedly mounted on the outer end of the connecting rod, a guide frame sleeved inside the sliding tube, a first helical spring fixedly connected between the sliding tube and the lower end of the guide frame, a base plate fixedly mounted on the lower end of the guide frame, universal wheels evenly mounted on the bottom surface of the base plate, a grip ring fixedly mounted on the upper side of the outer surface of the guide frame, a connecting rope connected to the motor, a support column fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting rope, a support assembly sleeved on the surface of the support column, and a nut positioned above the support assembly.
[0004] In the aforementioned foundation pit straight-path excavation device, although the excavation of straight paths (trenches) can be achieved through drilling and the thrust of hydraulic cylinders, improving the efficiency of trench excavation, we have found in practical applications that there are still areas for optimization, such as:
[0005] The separate design of the "drilling" and "pushing" sections in the above-mentioned foundation pit straight excavation device requires two operations to excavate the trench, which affects work efficiency and increases labor intensity. At the same time, the above-mentioned foundation pit straight excavation device is also not convenient for cleaning up the excavated soil.

[0024] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a trench excavation device near a road, which has the following advantages:
[0026] 1. This trench excavation equipment near the road is placed at the location where a trench needs to be dug. The drive motor rotates the inner rod and helical blades through transmission, and the second cylinder lowers the inner rod and helical blades. Through the rotation and descent of the inner rod and helical blades, a vertical hole can be drilled in the ground. After the entire equipment is moved a certain distance, the above operation is repeated to drill another vertical hole in the ground. This cycle is repeated to drill a row of vertical holes in the ground, thus forming the basic shape of a trench, which is convenient for trench excavation when it is inconvenient to use an excavator.
[0027] 2. The trench excavation equipment near the road can control the lowering of the lifting plate to drive the conveying cylinder to descend. The conveying cylinder descends into the previously dug vertical hole. As the entire equipment moves, the shovel plate at the bottom of the conveying cylinder can open the previously dug vertical hole. The rotation of the conveying rollers inside the conveying cylinder can transport the excavated soil, allowing the soil to be discharged from the discharge cylinder, preventing the excavated soil from accumulating in the trench. Thus, as the entire equipment moves, it can not only excavate vertical holes at intervals in front, but also directly open the dug vertical holes to form a trench.
[0028] 3. The trench excavation equipment near the road has a pressure roller located inside the trench. As the entire equipment moves, the pressure roller can also roll inside the trench to flatten and compact the soil, making the trench neater and cleaner, and improving the trench excavation effect.

[0039] Example 1:
[0040] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 6A trench excavation device near a road includes two side plates 1 arranged opposite each other, with the tops of the two side plates 1 fixedly connected by a connecting plate 2. The bottom of the opposite side of the two side plates 1 is provided with a movable wheel 3, which facilitates the movement of the entire device and makes it easier to excavate trenches along its movement path.
[0041] A lifting plate 4 is provided between the two side plates 1 and moves vertically. In this embodiment, the vertical movement of the lifting plate 4 is achieved by the first cylinder 5. Specifically, the lifting plate 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the output shaft of the first cylinder 5, and the first cylinder 5 is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting plate 2. Thus, the extension or retraction of the output shaft of the first cylinder 5 can drive the lifting plate 4 to move down or up.
[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a fixed bearing 6 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 4, and a sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed bearing 6. An inner rod 8 is movably inserted into the sleeve 7. In this embodiment, splines are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the inner rod 8, and the splines are slidably arranged in the groove. The groove is opened on the inner wall of the sleeve 7. Through the cooperation of the splines and the groove, the inner rod 8 can move up and down in the sleeve 7, and the sleeve 7 can also drive the inner rod 8 to rotate at all times.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, a spiral blade 9 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the inner rod 8. The top of the inner rod 8 is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the second cylinder 11 through a rotary joint 10. The second cylinder 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 2, thereby controlling the extension or retraction of the output shaft of the second cylinder 11. The inner rod 8 can be moved down or up through the rotary joint 10.
[0044] A first driven wheel 12 is also fixedly installed on the sleeve 7. The outer wall of the first driven wheel 12 is connected to a drive wheel 14 via a first synchronous belt 13. The drive wheel 14 is rotatably mounted on the top of the lifting plate 4. Specifically, the drive wheel 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the drive shaft 15. The drive shaft 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the output shaft of the drive motor 16. The drive motor 16 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the lifting plate 4. The drive motor 16 can drive the drive wheel 14 to rotate through the drive shaft 15. The rotation of the drive wheel 14 can drive the first driven wheel 12 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 13, thereby driving the sleeve 7 to rotate.
[0045] In use, the entire device is placed at the location where a trench needs to be dug. Controlling the drive motor 16 causes the inner rod 8 and helical blade 9 to rotate via transmission. Controlling the second cylinder 11 causes the inner rod 8 and helical blade 9 to descend. Through the rotation and descent of the inner rod 8 and helical blade 9, a vertical hole 38 can be drilled in the ground. After moving the entire device a certain distance, the above operation is repeated, and another vertical hole 38 can be drilled in the ground. This cycle continues until a row of vertical holes 38 can be drilled in the ground. Figure 8 As shown, this forms the initial shape of a trench, which facilitates trench excavation when it is inconvenient to use an excavator.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 Based on the first embodiment, a conveying cylinder 23 is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 4 by a fixing frame 24. The conveying cylinder 23 is located on the left side of the inner rod 8 and is inclined towards the inner rod 8. A conveying roller 22 is rotatably installed inside the conveying cylinder 23. A discharge cylinder 26 is connected through the left side of the top of the conveying cylinder 23. A shovel plate 25 is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveying cylinder 23.
[0048] The lowering of the lifting plate 4 causes the conveyor cylinder 23 to descend, and the conveyor cylinder 23 descends into the previously dug vertical hole 38. As the entire equipment moves, the shovel plate 25 at the bottom of the conveyor cylinder 23 can open the previously dug vertical hole 38. Figure 9 As shown, the excavated soil can be transported by the rotation of the conveying roller 22 inside the conveying cylinder 23, so that the soil can be discharged from the discharge cylinder 26, preventing the excavated soil from accumulating in the trench. Thus, as the entire equipment moves, vertical holes 38 can be drilled at intervals in front, and the excavated vertical holes 38 can also be directly drilled to form a trench.
[0049] The vertical position of the conveying cylinder 23 is controlled by the lifting plate 4, while the vertical position of the inner rod 8 is controlled by the second cylinder 11. When drilling, the output shaft of the second cylinder 11 retracts to facilitate the movement of the entire equipment, and the output shaft of the second cylinder 11 extends to facilitate drilling the vertical hole 38.
[0050] In this embodiment, the top end of the conveying roller 22 extends to the outside of the conveying cylinder 23 and is connected to a vertical shaft 19 via a universal joint 21. A second driven wheel 18 is fixedly installed at the top end of the vertical shaft 19. The second driven wheel 18 is connected to the drive wheel 14 via a second synchronous belt 17.
[0051] Thus, when the drive motor 16 drives the drive wheel 14 to rotate via the drive shaft 15, the drive wheel 14 can also drive the second driven wheel 18 to rotate via the second synchronous belt 17. The rotation of the second driven wheel 18 drives the vertical shaft 19 to rotate. The rotation of the vertical shaft 19 drives the conveyor roller 22 to rotate via the universal joint 21, so as to achieve the purpose of synchronous rotation of the conveyor roller 22 and the inner rod 8, saving the use of the drive device.
[0052] In this embodiment, a positioning bearing 20 is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical shaft 19. The positioning bearing 20 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 4. By setting the positioning bearing 20, the position of the vertical shaft 19 can be fixed, and the rotation of the vertical shaft 19 can be made more stable.
[0053] Example 3:
[0054] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the bottom of the lifting plate 4 is further fixedly provided with two guide plates 28 via connecting rods 27, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the two guide plates 28 are arranged opposite each other and are located on the front and rear sides of the inner rod 8 respectively. In addition, a guide slope 29 is formed on the opposite side of the two guide plates 28.
[0055] The guide plate 28 can block the soil excavated when the spiral blade 9 drills holes, keeping the soil on the side of the hole. Subsequently, as the entire equipment moves, the guide slope 29 can push the soil on the side of the hole back into the vertical hole 38. Moreover, since the soil in the vertical hole 38 is loose at this time, it can be easily scooped up by the shovel plate 25 and transported by the conveying roller 22. Thus, it can effectively ensure the cleanliness of both sides of the trench and prevent a large amount of soil from accumulating on both sides of the trench and requiring further cleaning.
[0056] In this embodiment, a bottom column 30 is fixedly installed on the left side of the bottom of the lifting plate 4. A top shaft 34 is provided at the bottom end of the bottom column 30. An installation plate 35 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the top shaft 34. Two fixed seats 36 are arranged opposite each other on the bottom sides of the installation plate 35. A pressure roller 37 is rotatably arranged between the two fixed seats 36.
[0057] As the lifting plate 4 moves down, the pressure roller 37 is also located in the trench. As the entire equipment moves, the pressure roller 37 can also roll in the trench to flatten and compact the soil in the trench, making the trench more neat and clean, and improving the trench excavation effect.
[0058] like Figure 7As shown, a movable plate 32 is fixedly installed at the top of the top shaft 34. The movable plate 32 is movably disposed in the inner groove 31, which is opened inside the bottom column 30. A spring 33 is also fixedly disposed between the movable plate 32 and the inner top wall of the inner groove 31.
[0059] By setting up the movable plate 32 and the spring 33, the pressure roller 37 and the mounting plate 35 can move upward to compress the spring 33, thereby adapting to the depth of the groove and achieving a better flattening effect.
