Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coal mine monorail crane systems, and in particular to a heavy-duty monorail crane track for coal mines. Background Art

[0002] The monorail crane system is one of the most important auxiliary transportation systems in coal mines. It is widely used in the transportation of materials, equipment and personnel in narrow spaces such as tunnels and mines. In the monorail crane auxiliary transportation system, the monorail crane track is the basis of the system. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the track itself adopts Figure 3 The I140V type track of the structure shown, the existing upper connecting piece 102 and the existing lower connecting piece 103 used to connect two adjacent existing straight rails 101 adopt the structure disclosed in the patent document with the publication number CN101102950A. The existing I140V type track has many accessories when connected, and the manufacturing and installation costs are high, and the installation and disassembly are troublesome. More importantly, with the increasing tonnage of coal mining and support equipment, the load-bearing capacity of the existing I140V type track can no longer effectively meet the transportation requirements of coal mining equipment. In the transportation of large equipment projects, the track is often damaged, which seriously affects the transportation efficiency and transportation safety. The patent document with the authorization announcement number CN203006755U discloses a heavy-duty monorail hanging track, which has made structural improvements to the upper connecting piece and the hanging assembly, but its track and lower connecting piece still adopt the corresponding structure of the traditional I140V type track, and cannot achieve real heavy load; the patent document with the application publication number CN113562611A proposes a high-performance heavy-duty track and its matching connecting piece, the track adopts the I250 type track, and the upper connecting piece is improved, and the track includes an upper web, an upper flange, a lower web and a lower flange arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The one-piece formed part is composed of flanges, and the front and rear ends of the upper web are respectively provided with connection holes. The flexible connection between the front and rear tracks is realized by setting the inclined surface at the end of the track and the arc-shaped long hole. The invention is designed as a flexible connection, which leads to the weakening of the rigidity of the track joint. During heavy-load transportation, the moving locomotive suddenly brakes, which is easy to produce abnormal force here, resulting in damage to the bottom connector of the track; the purpose of designing the arc-shaped long hole is to achieve vertical bending of the straight track. This structure will inevitably cause gaps and height differences at the track joints, affecting the service life of the track and the operating efficiency and safety of the monorail crane. It is important that, as mentioned above, the various existing monorail crane track systems, their single tracks are all straight rails, and the two adjacent straight rails can be movably connected by upper and lower connectors. It is common that the rigidity of the entire track system is poor and cannot be effectively overloaded, there is misalignment in the track joints, and the angle affects the passability and stability of the monorail crane during operation; when the track is installed, due to the connector accessories and the need for welding technology, installation and maintenance and replacement of components are troublesome.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] (Example 1) See Figures 3 to 11 The heavy-duty monorail hanging track for coal mines of this embodiment is mainly composed of a straight rail 1, a transition rail 2, a horizontal curved rail 3, a vertical curved rail 4, an upper connecting piece 5, a lower connecting piece 6 and an installation and hanging assembly 7.

[0017] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7The straight rail 1 is a casting composed of an upper web 11, an upper flange 12, a lower web 13, a lower flange 14, and a lower skirt 15 provided on both sides below the lower flange 14; the lower end surface of the lower flange 14 and the inner end surfaces of the two lower skirts 15 form a groove 16; and at least one first connecting screw hole 11-1 is provided on both sides of the upper web 11 for connection. Compared with the existing I140V track, the straight rail 1 of this embodiment has a significantly different structure and a much larger cross-sectional size than the existing I140V track, so its load-bearing and bending resistance are significantly better than the existing I140V track and is suitable for heavy loads; at the same time, compared with the existing I250 track, the straight rail 1 of this embodiment has a structural improvement design by providing a lower skirt 15 on both sides of the lower end surface of the lower flange 14 and forming a groove 16 with the lower flange 14, so that the bending resistance of the straight rail 1 of this embodiment is better, and the bearing capacity of the track is improved.

[0018] See also Figure 8 The transition rail 2 is used for transition connection between the straight rail 1 and the horizontal curved rail 3 and between the horizontal curved rail 3 and the vertical curved rail 4; the cross-sectional shape of the transition rail 2 is the same as that of the straight rail 1, and the rail body of the transition rail 2 is also a linear rail. The difference from the straight rail 1 is that one side of the upper web of the transition rail 2 is provided with one or more second connecting screw holes 21, and the other side is fixedly provided with a first connecting flange 22 for connection.

[0019] See also Fig. 9 The horizontal curved rail 3 is used for the horizontal bend of the monorail crane track. The cross-sectional shape of the horizontal curved rail 3 is the same as that of the straight rail 1. The difference from the straight rail 1 is that the rail body 31 of the horizontal curved rail 3 is arc-shaped, and a second connecting flange 32 is provided on each side of the upper web of the horizontal curved rail 3. When in use, the horizontal curved rails 3 can be cascaded with each other according to the length of the horizontal bend of the monorail crane track, or the horizontal curved rail 3 can be combined and cascaded with the straight rail 1 and the transition rail 2 as needed.

[0020] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11The vertical curved rail 4 is used for the up and down bends of the monorail crane track. The cross-sectional shape of the vertical curved rail 4 is the same as that of the straight rail 1. The difference from the straight rail 1 is that the rail body of the vertical curved rail 4 is arc-shaped. Accordingly, the vertical curved rail 4 has a convex surface 41 and a concave surface opposite to the convex surface 41. Both sides of the upper web of the vertical curved rail 4 are respectively provided with one or more third connecting screw holes 42 for connection. When in use, at the up and down bends of the monorail crane track, the vertical curved rail 4 is arranged with the convex surface 41 facing upward or the concave surface facing upward according to the curved shape of the lane 100, and is connected to the straight rail 1, or connected with other rail combinations through the transition rail 2. In this embodiment, the vertical curved rail 4 is innovatively arranged for passing the up and down bends.

A pin shaft 55 is provided on each side of the upper part of the swing frame 53; a hanging shaft 56 is provided, and the hanging shaft 56 passes through the shaft hole in the middle of the arc-shaped plate part of the two clamping plates 51 and the shaft hole of the connecting tongue 54 extending between the arc-shaped plate parts of the two clamping plates 51, so that the swing frame 53 is movably connected relative to the two clamping plates 51. When in use, the two clamping plates 51 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the two monorails each provided with a bolt hole by clamping the fixing bolts 52, for example, the upper parts of two adjacent straight rails 1 are fixedly connected, or a straight rail 1 is fixedly connected to the upper part of a transition rail 2, or a straight rail 1 is fixedly connected to the upper end of a vertical curved rail 4.

[0022] The lower connecting member 6 is used to fix the lower ends of two adjacent monorails. Different from the common structure in the prior art, in this embodiment, the lower connecting member 6 is mainly composed of a bolt sleeve 61, a bolt 62 and a nut 63; the bolt sleeve 61 is a hollow structural member, and a bolt sleeve 61 is fixedly arranged in the grooves on both sides of each straight rail 1, transition rail 2, horizontal curved rail 3 and vertical curved rail 4. A set of bolts 62 and nuts 63 is arranged between each two adjacent monorails. When in use, the bolt 62 passes through one bolt sleeve 61 of each of the two adjacent monorails and is then locked with the nut 63, thereby achieving fixed connection of the lower ends of the two adjacent monorails.

[0023] As can be seen from the foregoing, in this embodiment, the two adjacent monorails are fixedly connected by the upper connecting member 5 and the lower connecting member 6 by bolt connection, thereby avoiding the need to use electric welding technology during installation in the prior art, and the installation is convenient and quick. In addition, the upper and lower ends of the two adjacent monorails are fixedly connected by bolts. Compared with the existing connection method, on the one hand, the overall rigidity of the track is better and the bearing capacity is stronger; on the other hand, it can effectively overcome the joint gaps and height difference misalignment phenomena that are common in the connection of the prior art, further making the vehicle pass more smoothly, thereby improving the operating efficiency, service life and operating safety of the monorail crane train.
