[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. Example 1

[0020] A highly stable crawler structure used in tunnel construction, see Figures 1 to 6The design includes a fixed bracket 3 installed on the vehicle chassis, the cross section of the fixed bracket 3 is C-shaped, and its arc is facing outward so that it can be clamped on the vehicle chassis, and the outer arc surface thereof is installed with a support frame 5 and a rotating frame 4, and the end of the support frame 5 is provided with a roller 2, and one end of the two ends of the rotating frame 4 is hingedly connected to the support frame 5, and the other end is hingedly connected to the fixed bracket 3; the rotating frame 4 is provided with a hydraulic telescopic rod 10, and a protective baffle 6 is arranged in front of the roller 2; the roller shaft for installing the roller 2 includes a screw shaft 20 at both ends and a nut shaft 21 in the middle, and the nut shaft 21 is clamped on the support frame 5 and only retains the degree of freedom of rotation, and the screw shaft 20 and the nut shaft 21 are threadedly matched. When the work needs to be converted, the vehicle is first stopped, and then the roller 2 is lowered, and the position of the roller 2 is adjusted to match the track to be matched, and then the roller 2 is further formed to support the entire vehicle, and then the power system is introduced, and the vehicle moves forward or backward with the help of the roller 2. When the track changes to trackless, the working process is reversed. During operation, before the roller 2 bears the load, the screw shaft 20 and the nut shaft 21 can be used to adjust the width to match tracks of various widths.

[0021] The front end of the support frame 5 is provided with a hook joint 9, which is convenient for working in combination with the lifting mechanism.

[0022] A dust cover 8 is provided above the hydraulic telescopic rod 10. On the one hand, it is beneficial to dustproof the equipment and protect the corresponding hydraulic mechanism and pipelines. On the other hand, other supporting equipment can be further installed on the stably installed dust cover 8.

[0023] The telescopic rod 10 includes a hydraulic telescopic mechanism, which is connected to a hydraulic source, and a pressure measuring component is provided in a pipe connected to the pressure source. The roller 2 is a quick-release roller 2, and its outer contour corresponds to the contour shape and position of the track in the construction tunnel. This design can adapt to tracks of multiple standard sizes.

[0024] A clamping structure is provided between the fixed bracket 3 and the chassis of the crawler structure, and an anchoring positioning nail 12 is provided on the clamping structure, and a positioning hole is provided at a matching corresponding position.

[0025] like Fig.15 and 16 A transmission mechanism driven by a shift fork gear is provided between the output shaft of the vehicle and the axle of the roller 2. During operation, when power needs to be transmitted to the roller 2, the position of the shift fork gear is shifted, and the gear position is changed to form a tooth meshing to achieve power transmission, and then the roller 2 drives the vehicle to achieve displacement. To express the principle clearly, Fig.15A simplified drawing method is adopted in which a box is used to represent the power input device in actual work, and the corresponding actual work may be the power input after the transmission shaft is turned. The transmission shaft turning includes parallel shaft transmission and staggered shaft transmission. More specifically, it may be an additional energy source or a branch from the vehicle's own power output. Example 2

[0026] In this embodiment, the working method is the same as that in embodiment 1, the specific difference is that a probe rod 11 is installed on the main shaft of the roller 2 on both sides in front of the vehicle, and the height of the probe rod 11 is not lower than the lowest height of the track 7 suspended in the air, and the length of the probe rod 11 is not less than the distance from the edge of the track 7 to the roller 2. During the operation, the probe rod 11 rotates to detect foreign objects in the space, and avoids foreign objects getting stuck under the track 7 and affecting the displacement of the equipment. During the operation, the design of the tunnel determines that the width of the track 7, that is, the maximum passing width that the tunnel can accommodate, determines that the auxiliary track and roller 2 are mostly difficult to be the same width as the track 7, which often results in the roller 2 passing on the track after deformation, while impurities scratch the track 7, and even cause the equipment to get stuck. This embodiment is mainly to solve this problem. A probe rod is designed on the outer edge of the roller 2 to detect debris on the travel track in the space where the track 7 passes in advance. Example 3

[0027] In this embodiment, the working principle is the same as that of embodiment 1, and the specific difference is that the hydraulic telescopic mechanism includes a main telescopic rod 10 and a wing telescopic rod 10 that drives the main telescopic rod 10 to swing. Ensure proper steering and adjustment of the vehicle. Specifically, the position angle of the main compression rod is adjusted by using two wing. The wing telescopic rod 10 is not drawn in the attached figure. In the specific operation, refer to the working principle of the auxiliary hydraulic boot for steering the head of the shield machine. The angle adjustment of the fixed bracket 3 is achieved through the difference and angle of the hydraulic supports on both sides. Example 4

[0028] In this embodiment, the working principle is the same as that of embodiment 1, and the specific difference is that an auxiliary desludging mechanism is provided on the dust cover 8, and the auxiliary desludging mechanism includes a scraper 13 driven by an auxiliary hydraulic cylinder group 16, and a rotation connection is provided between the scraper 13 and the auxiliary hydraulic cylinder group 16. The axis of the auxiliary hydraulic cylinder group 16 is parallel to the axis of the hydraulic telescopic rod 10 on the rotating frame 4; a limit plate 14 is provided on the protective baffle 6 to constrain the freedom of the scraper 13, and the scraper installation position is parallel to the forward direction of the vehicle, and a counterweight is installed at the rear of the corresponding transport vehicle. The function of the limit plate 14 is to achieve the mechanical balance of the equipment and prevent the scraper 13 from tilting.

[0029] The scraper 13 is bucket-shaped, with a hollow bottom, a push plate 15 on the inner side, and a push-pull hydraulic rod group between the push plate 15 and the side. The shape design of the scraper 13 can meet the requirements of high-viscosity slag removal and is more suitable for tunnel construction conditions.

[0030] An elastic reset mechanism is also provided between the scraper 13 and the auxiliary hydraulic cylinder group 16, and the elastic reset mechanism includes a connecting rod coaxially mounted on the end of the hydraulic rod, the connecting rod is connected to the end of the hydraulic rod via a spring, and the other end of the connecting rod is installed with the rotating connection. The elastic connection protects the equipment on the one hand, and realizes the micro-adjustment of the angle during the working process on the other hand.

[0031] In this embodiment, the corresponding equipment at the rear of the vehicle must be equipped with a corresponding counterweight to maintain the balance of the equipment and ensure the stability of the small load-bearing equipment. Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
