Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of this specification discloses a chamber excavator, including a first walking unit 3, a cutting unit 2, a second walking unit 7 and a power system, wherein the first walking unit 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the second walking unit 7, and the cutting unit 2 is arranged on the first walking unit 3; the power system is connected to the first walking unit 3 and the cutting unit 2, and the power system is used to provide walking power and rotational power to the first walking unit 3, and the power system is used to provide rotational power and cutting power to the cutting unit 2. Among them, the first walking unit 3 and the second walking unit 7 are used for device travel; the cutting unit 2 is used for underground excavation operations such as opening a chamber, cutting an eye and opening a connecting lane. The power system is preferably a hydraulic system, and the hydraulic system includes a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic pipeline, a hydraulic valve and a hydraulic motor; the walking hydraulic motor provides the first walking unit 3 with walking power; and the cutting hydraulic motor provides the cutting unit 2 with cutting power. The rotation operation of the first walking unit 3 is performed by a rotation mechanism, which includes a steering gear, a tie rod, an oil pump and an oil cylinder. The oil cylinder is connected to the oil pump for providing hydraulic oil, and the oil pump is connected to the steering gear for providing rotational power. The steering gear is connected to the middle part of the tie rod to achieve lateral steering, and both ends of the tie rod are respectively connected to wheels, thereby achieving the steering operation of the first walking unit 3.

[0021] The embodiment of the present specification discloses a chamber excavator. By configuring the excavator so that the other end of the first walking unit 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the second walking unit 7, when the excavator turns, the turning action can be divided into step-by-step turning of the first walking unit 3 and the second walking unit 7 to which the excavator is rotatably connected, thereby solving the problem that the existing excavator equipment is large in size and long in length and cannot complete turning in a narrow tunnel.

[0022] The cutting unit 2 includes a slewing drive assembly, a cutting arm and a cutting head; the slewing drive assembly is arranged on the first walking unit 3, the slewing drive assembly is connected to the power system, the power system provides rotational power for the slewing drive assembly, the slewing drive assembly is connected to the cutting arm, the cutting head is arranged on the cutting arm, the slewing drive assembly is used to drive the cutting arm to drive the cutting head to rotate around the slewing drive assembly, a hydraulic steering gear is arranged inside the slewing drive assembly, the power of the slewing drive assembly is provided by a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic pump, and the steering operation of the cutting unit 2 is realized through the hydraulic steering gear.

[0023] When the straight line where the cutting arm is located is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the first walking unit 3, the angle between the cutting arm and the first walking unit 3 is 0°; when the rotary drive assembly is used to drive the cutting arm to drive the cutting head to rotate, the angle range of the cutting arm relative to the straight line where the longitudinal direction of the first walking unit 3 is located is -45° to +45°, and the excavation angle range of the cutting unit 2 is two lateral angle ranges of 45° each of the first walking unit 3.

[0024] The device also includes a transition unit 5, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first walking unit 3, and the other end of the transition unit 5 is connected to the second walking unit 7. The transition unit 5 is used to connect the first walking unit 3 and the second walking unit 7. The setting of the transition unit 5 enables the first walking unit 3 and the second walking unit 7 of the device to travel in a lane with a slope. The first walking unit 3 and the transition unit 5 are connected by a pin 4, and the axis of the pin 4 is perpendicular to the plane where the first walking unit 3 is located. With this setting, the first walking unit 3 can rotate a certain angle relative to the transition unit 5, realizing step-by-step turning between the first walking unit 3 and the transition unit 5, so as to solve the problem that the existing excavator is too long to turn in a narrow lane.

[0025] One end of the second walking unit 7 is hinged to one end of the transition unit 5 through the second hinge pin 6, and the axis of the second hinge pin 6 is parallel to the horizontal direction of the second walking unit 7. This arrangement enables the second walking unit 7 to rotate around the second hinge pin 6 perpendicular to the plane where the lane is located, thereby achieving walking and turning on the lane with a slope. In addition, it is preferred to set two hinge pins 6, and the straight lines where the axes 4 of the two hinge pins 6 are located are collinear, which is conducive to the rotation of the second walking unit 7 relative to the first walking unit 3 and the transition unit 5 in the plane perpendicular to the lane.

[0026] One end of the second walking unit 7 is hinged to one end of the transition unit 5 through the second hinge pin 6, and the axis of the second hinge pin 6 is perpendicular to the plane where the transition unit 5 is located. With this arrangement, the device can be divided into three parts for turning, realizing distributed turning, which is beneficial for turning of an excavator with a longer length.

[0027] The device also includes a bottom shovel unit 1, which is arranged in front of the first walking unit 3 and is used to clean and transport the mined rocks and minerals. This arrangement can clear the mined rocks and minerals in time, which is conducive to the advancement of excavation work.

[0028] When the chamber excavator is moving straight, the angle between the straight line where the longitudinal direction of the first traveling unit 3 is located and the straight line where the longitudinal direction of the transition unit 5 is located is 0°; when turning, the angle between the straight line where the longitudinal direction of the first traveling unit 3 is located and the straight line where the longitudinal direction of the transition unit 5 is located is in the range of -45° to +45°. Since the first traveling unit 3 can rotate -45° to +45° relative to the transition unit 5, and the cutting unit 2 can rotate -45° to +45° relative to the first traveling unit 3, when the first traveling unit 3 rotates 45° relative to the straight transition unit 5, the cutting unit 2 also rotates 45° relative to the first traveling unit 3. At this time, the cutting unit 2 rotates 90° relative to the transition unit 5, so that the cutting head can excavate the tunnel vertically.

[0029] The device also includes a controller, which is connected to the first walking unit 3, the cutting unit 2 and the power system; the controller controls the first walking unit 3 to walk and rotate; the controller controls the cutting unit 2 to rotate and cut; the controller controls the power system to start and stop. Through the setting of the controller, the excavator can automatically execute walking, turning and excavation, which is conducive to improving the automation level of the device.

[0030] In this specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other. For the system disclosed in the embodiment, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiment, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the method part.
