Description

A self-moving steel structure bridge for open-pit mines Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a mining bridge, belonging to the field of mining machinery, and particularly to a self-moving steel structure bridge for open-pit mines. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in many open-pit coal mines, when stripper trucks transport loess and rocks above the coal seam to the spoil heap, if they travel along the south bank, they will intersect with the routes of coal trucks, posing a significant safety hazard. In this case, if the stripper trucks are arranged to detour via the north bank to avoid the intersection, it results in longer transport distances, higher fuel consumption, and higher costs.

[0003] To address these issues, existing open-pit mines construct concrete bridges on the south side of the mine. These bridges allow vehicles to travel both on and under the mine, resolving the problem of overlapping routes for dump trucks and coal trucks. However, these concrete bridges are immovable. Once the open-pit mine boundary moves to a greater distance, the original concrete bridges become unusable, necessitating the reconstruction of new ones, which incurs high costs due to repeated construction.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of this application and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] 1. This invention relates to a self-moving steel structure bridge for open-pit mines, comprising a trestle, a transport platform, a slewing mechanism, and a traveling mechanism. The slewing mechanism includes meshing inner and outer rings of a support bearing. The traveling mechanism includes an outer telescopic platform and an inner telescopic platform. The top two ends of the transport platform are hinged to the inner ends of a trestle, and the outer ends of the trestle overlap with the top of a mound. A gearbox and gear column assembly are installed at each of the four corners of the transport platform. The bottom of the transport platform is connected to the outer ring of the support bearing, and the inner ring of the support bearing is connected to the top of the outer telescopic platform. Downward-extending outer beams are connected to both sides of the outer telescopic platform. The bottom of the outer extension beams is connected to the top of an outer rack, and the bottom of the outer rack meshes with the output end of a gear mechanism. The rear end of the gear mechanism is connected to the bottom of the inner telescopic platform. The bottom of the inner telescopic platform is connected to the tops of multiple support cylinders, and the bottoms of the support cylinders are connected to support feet. The advantages of this design include:

[0024] First, after the trestle bridge and the mound are connected, vehicles can pass both above and below the transport platform, which can meet the basic requirement of avoiding the intersection of the routes of dump trucks and coal trucks.

[0025] Secondly, when it needs to move along with the open-pit mine boundary, the trestle is first raised to release the overlap with the soil mound. Then, by switching the contact between the gear column, the support leg and the bottom surface of the soil mound, that is, when only the gear column is in contact with the bottom surface of the soil mound, the slewing mechanism can drive the traveling mechanism to rotate 360 ​​degrees, and when only the support leg is in contact with the bottom surface of the soil mound, the slewing mechanism can drive the transport platform and the trestle to rotate 360 ​​degrees, thereby meeting the needs of various overlap angles, various traveling directions and various transport directions, and has strong adaptability.

[0026] Third, since the bottom of the outer telescopic platform and the top of the inner telescopic platform can slide together, when only the support foot is in contact with the bottom surface of the soil mound, the meshing between the outer rack and gear can realize the relative movement between the outer telescopic platform and the inner telescopic platform, thereby realizing the relative movement between the transport platform connected to the outer telescopic platform and the support foot connected to the inner telescopic platform, and thus realizing the movement of the entire self-moving steel structure bridge relative to the bottom surface of the soil mound, so as to move together with the boundary of the open-pit mine, realize the reuse of the mobile bridge, and can be promoted to other open-pit coal mines. Therefore, it has very obvious economic and social benefits.

[0027] Therefore, this invention can not only move along with the boundary of the open-pit mine, but also avoid the intersection of the routes of dump trucks and coal trucks. In addition, it can be reused, is highly adaptable, and reduces the cost of use.

[0028] 2. In this invention, a self-moving steel structure bridge for open-pit mines is constructed. The bottom of the narrow inner bridge is connected to the top surface of a pressure plate via a hydraulic device. The bottom surface of the pressure plate is pressed against the sloping surface of the soil mound. During application, because the trestle bridge and the soil mound overlap, vehicles traveling on the bridge will generate lateral dynamic loads, causing lateral deformation and displacement of the entire steel structure bridge. Consequently, the entire bridge may experience slight and frequent swaying when vehicles travel on the bridge, affecting the bridge's lifespan and the driver's safety. To address this issue, this invention specifically designs a pressure plate that presses against the sloping surface of the soil mound to eliminate this defect. Based on this, the hydraulic device preferably includes at least two hydraulic units arranged sequentially along the pressure plate. Each hydraulic unit includes an upper adjusting cylinder, a pressing connecting rod, a lower adjusting cylinder, a lower locking device, and an upper locking device. This not only provides stable pressing force but also enables multi-angle adjustment of the pressure plate to adapt to different sloping surfaces, thus expanding its adaptability. Therefore, the present invention not only has strong stability and long service life, but also strong adjustability and wide applicability.

[0029] 3. In this invention, a self-moving steel structure bridge for open-pit mines features an upper locking device and a lower locking device with identical structures, both including a locking mounting box, a stroke rack, a locking rack, and a rack cylinder. The closed end of the locking mounting box is connected to a box lug, and a stroke rack capable of relative sliding is inserted into the open end of the locking mounting box. The portion of the stroke rack outside the locking mounting box is connected to the rack lug. In application, the box lug and rack lug can connect to other components or pressure plates in the hydraulic unit, thus extending and retracting together with the adjusting cylinder. Furthermore, once the adjusting cylinder adjusts the pressure plate to the appropriate position, this design preserves the adjustment state through the meshing of the stroke rack and locking rack, avoiding the potential hazards of using only the cylinder—the cylinder may leak. After prolonged use, if the cylinder leaks, the pressure plate cannot effectively adhere to the soil surface. Therefore, this invention provides a better locking effect, ensuring the pressure plate is firmly pressed. Attached Figure Description

The inner end of the narrow inner bridge 22 is hinged to the transport platform 3 via a bridge hinge shaft 23. A pulley block 61 is connected to each of the front and rear ends of the wide outer bridge 21. A lifting winch 6 corresponding to the pulley block 61 is provided on the transport platform 3 near its front and rear sides. The lifting winch 6 is connected to the corresponding pulley block 61 via a lifting pulley 62, and the lifting pulley 62 is located above the transport platform 3. The bottom of the narrow inner bridge 22 is connected to the top surface of the pressure plate 71 via a hydraulic device 7. The bottom surface of the pressure plate 71 is pressed against the slope surface 11 of the soil mound 1. The hydraulic device 7 includes at least two hydraulic units 72 arranged sequentially along the pressure plate 71. Each hydraulic unit 72 includes an upper adjusting cylinder 73, a pressing connecting rod 74, and a lower adjusting cylinder 75. The top end of the pressing connecting rod 74 is hinged to the bottom of the narrow inner bridge 22. The bottom end of 4 is hinged to the outer side of the pressure plate 71. The inner side of the pressure plate 71 is simultaneously hinged to the bottom ends of the lower adjusting cylinder 75 and the lower locking device 76. The top ends of the lower adjusting cylinder 75 and the lower locking device 76 are hinged to the inner side of the pressing connecting rod 74. The outer side of the pressing connecting rod 74 is hinged to the bottom end of the upper adjusting cylinder 73 and the upper locking device 77. The top ends of the upper adjusting cylinder 73 and the upper locking device 77 are hinged to the bottom of the narrow inner bridge 22.

[0072] When the self-propelled steel structure bridge moves to the required position, the hoisting winch 6 drives the trestle 2 via the hoisting pulley 62 and pulley block 61 to lower the trestle 2 and place one end of it on the soil pile 1. Then, the upper adjusting cylinder 73 and the lower adjusting cylinder 75 in the hydraulic device 7 adjust the angle of the pressure plate 71 so that the pressure plate 71 is in contact with and pressed tightly against the soil pile 1. Then, the upper locking device 77 and the lower locking device 76 lock themselves, thereby locking the upper adjusting cylinder 73 and the lower adjusting cylinder 75 (the locking device and the adjusting cylinder are set side by side). At this time, vehicles can pass normally.

[0073] The upper locking device 77 and the lower locking device 76 are respectively locked by the output end of the rack cylinder 83 driving the locking rack 82 to be lowered so as to mesh with the side teeth 812 provided on the side of the stroke rack 81, thereby locking the stroke rack 81, fixing the length of the upper locking device 77 and the lower locking device 76, and thus fixing the length of the upper adjusting cylinder 73 and the lower adjusting cylinder 75.

[0074] Example 3:

[0075] The basic content is the same as in Example 2, except that:

[0076] When this self-moving steel structure bridge needs to be moved, first release the engagement of the locking rack 82 and the side long tooth 812, then release the clamping mechanism 2 from pressing the pressure plate 71 through the upper adjusting cylinder 73 and the lower adjusting cylinder 75, so that the pressure plate 71 is disengaged from the slope surface 11 of the soil mound 1. Then drive the trestle bridge 2 to rotate and lift it up to a certain angle. Then drive the gear machine 55 to drive the outer rack 54, so that the inner telescopic platform 52 moves forward a certain distance relative to the outer telescopic platform 51. Then the support cylinder 56 drives the support foot 57 to descend until the support foot 57 is in contact with the bottom surface of the soil mound 1. The gearbox 31 drives the gear column 32 to rise, so that the gear column 32 is lifted off the ground. The bottom end of the gear column 32 is connected to the column foot 33. At this time, the inner telescopic platform 52 is fixed in place because of the contact between the support foot 57 and the ground. Then, the gear machine 55 drives the outer rack 54 to move the outer telescopic platform 51 forward a certain distance, thereby driving the entire transport platform 3 forward, thus realizing a step movement. This cycle is repeated to realize the repetition of multiple step movements, thereby realizing the large-distance movement of this self-moving steel structure bridge.

[0077] Example 4:

[0078] The basic content is the same as in Example 1, except that:

[0079] Referring to Figure 14, when the self-propelled steel structure bridge needs to turn during travel, the bottom end of the drive gear column 32 first contacts the ground, then drives the inner ring 41 of the support bearing to rotate 90 degrees, thereby causing the outer ring 42 of the support bearing to rotate 90 degrees, which in turn causes the traveling mechanism 5 to rotate 90 degrees. Then, the support cylinder 56 drives the support foot 57 to descend until the support foot 57 contacts the bottom surface of the mound 1. Then, the gearbox 31 drives the gear column 32 to rise so that the gear column 32 is off the ground. Then, the inner ring 41 of the support bearing rotates 90 degrees, thereby causing the outer ring 42 of the support bearing to rotate 90 degrees, which in turn causes the transport platform 3 and the trestle 2 to rotate 90 degrees. Then, the gear column 32 is driven to descend until the support foot 57 of the traveling mechanism 5 contacts the ground, and then another reverse movement begins.

[0080] Example 5:

[0081] The basic content is the same as in Example 4, except that:

[0082] Referring to Figure 15, when walking on the slope 11, it is similar to walking on flat ground. The difference is that when the support cylinder 56 drives the support foot 57 to contact the ground, the piston rod of each support cylinder 56 extends a different distance to ensure that the inner telescopic platform 52 is horizontal, thereby ensuring that the entire transport platform 3 is horizontal.

[0083] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the content disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection set forth in the claims.
