Description

[0002] With the process of urbanization and the continuous expansion of infrastructure construction, the market demand for tunneling machines is gradually growing. With the continuous expansion of underground construction, the requirements for the function, efficiency and safety of tunneling machines are becoming more and more stringent. For many years, the domestic tunneling machine industry has shown a good development trend, and the import and domestic rate has increased. At present, the market size of tunneling machines in China is expanding, and the technical level is gradually improving. A relatively complete industrial chain and industrial cluster has been formed, and the competitiveness of domestic tunneling machines in the domestic and foreign markets is continuously enhanced.

[0003] Tunneling machines include mechanical arms, vehicle bodies, chassis, etc. The chassis commonly includes tracks, walking wheels, and tensioning devices for tensioning the tracks, etc. The technology of tunneling machines focuses on its excavation mode, geological collapse risk assessment, and stability maintenance of the excavated area. In this process, traditional manual operation is upgraded to unmanned and intelligent operation, aiming to comprehensively improve the work efficiency and safety of tunneling machines. In actual engineering practice, the following problems exist:

[0004] I. The existing technology of the chassis tensioning device commonly includes tensioning through hydraulic, spring, screw rod, etc. The spring is a general part widely used in various tensioning devices. However, due to the harsh walking and working environment of the tunneling machine, it causes greater vibration, which leads to the intensification of the vibration of the light component such as the spring, and the intensification of the wear between the spring and the column bearing the spring.

[0005] II. In the existing technology, the middle position of the spring is the position with the largest vibration amplitude. How to reduce the vibration amplitude is a problem to be solved.

[0006] III. In actual work, considering stability, the adjustment range of the hydraulic tensioning device will not be too large; the extension of the hydraulic cylinder also needs to limit the extension of the spring.
