TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of tunnel grid steel frame manufacturing, and particularly relates to a movable mold for manufacturing a tunnel grid steel frame. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the industrialized manufacturing process of the tunnel grid steel frame, the positioning and welding of the steel bars are core processes. First, four prefabricated arc-shaped main bars are precisely clamped into the clamping grooves of a special mold, and the groove curvature of the mold is completely matched with the curvature of the steel bars to ensure that the structural accuracy of the formed steel frame meets the design requirements of the tunnel support. After the main bars are firmly fixed, workers need to hold welding equipment to weld multiple steel connectors at the preset nodes between the four main bars. After multiple welding processes, the four arc-shaped main bars and the connectors form a complete tunnel grid steel frame.
[0003] Due to the use of high-strength threaded steel or profiled steel for the grid steel frame, combined with the weight of the connectors, the overall weight of a single steel frame unit generally reaches several hundred kilograms. Under normal operating conditions, even if two or three adult workers coordinate their efforts, it is difficult to lift the steel frame smoothly, which brings inconvenience to the subsequent unloading operation from the mold. Moreover, since the main bars are in an arc-shaped structure and are tightly clamped in the grooves of the mold, there is a large contact friction force between the steel frame and the mold, and the arc-shaped structure causes the force points to be dispersed, so workers cannot find a stable force application position. When unloading, four to six workers are often distributed around the mold and simultaneously apply force at different parts of the steel frame, overcoming not only the weight of the steel frame itself but also the biting resistance between the arc-shaped main bars and the clamping grooves of the mold.
[0004] In summary, when facing the need to unload the tunnel grid steel frame from the mold, repeated adjustments of the force application angle and intensity are required, which takes a long time and indirectly affects the overall production efficiency of the tunnel grid steel frame. SUMMARY

[0012] In order to enhance the firmness of the lifting frame as a whole, so that the lifting frame can effectively lift the manufactured tunnel grid steel frame upwards, as the movable jig for manufacturing the tunnel grid steel frame, preferably, the reinforcing mechanism comprises a supporting frame, the four end heads of the supporting frame are respectively inclined and supported at the four corner angles of the lifting frame, a limiting column is welded with the outer walls on the two sides of the center end of the supporting frame, the bottom of the limiting column extends out of the bottom surface of the supporting frame, and a lifting disc is clamped between the extension ends of the two limiting columns.

Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0035] The universal casters at the bottom of the movable chassis 2 are manganese steel supports and polyurethane wheel bodies, so that the universal casters at the bottom of the movable chassis 2 can bear the overall weight and also maintain stable movement function. The specific universal caster can refer to the model YTOP Zhuoye 24 Zhitai MC.
[0036] During use, four steel bars are respectively clamped into the clamping parts corresponding to the three positioning clamps 3, so that the workers can weld connecting pieces between the fixed four steel bars. After welding, an arc-shaped tunnel lattice steel frame is formed, which is arranged at the related reinforcing point in the tunnel during construction, and after the concrete is poured and solidified, the tunnel lattice steel frame can be installed inside the tunnel.
[0037] The bottom of the movable chassis 2 is provided with two universal casters with locking structures, the lattice mold 1 is pushed, and the lattice mold 1 is very conveniently moved to the position to be set by the movable chassis 2. At the same time, the center lateral supports 5 on both sides of the bottom plate 4 are supported on the ground during use, thereby improving the stability of the lattice mold 1 during use.
[0038] The surface of the lattice mold 1 is symmetrically provided with two groups of grooves 11, the inner parts of the two groups of grooves 11 are respectively movably connected with the bottoms on both sides of the horizontal pushing mechanism 6, the bottoms of both ends of the horizontal pushing mechanism 6 are respectively movably connected with the top ends on both sides of the lifting frame 7, and the inside of the lifting frame 7 is provided with the reinforcing mechanism 8.
[0039] Preferably, the horizontal pushing mechanism 6 comprises two supporting plates 61, two sliding strips 62 are symmetrically and fixedly installed at the bottom of each supporting plate 61, one end of each sliding strip 62 is respectively welded with one end of one side strip 63, and the opposite ends of the two side strips 63 are welded on the outer walls on both sides of the U-shaped piece 64.

[0041] The two sliding strips 62 at the bottom of the supporting plate 61 are precisely opposite to the openings of the two sliding grooves 74 on the extension block 73, one end of the supporting plate 61 is located at the same horizontal plane as the bottom of the telescopic end of the pneumatic push cylinder 72, the supporting plate 61 is located between the three positioning clamps 3, and the opening end of the U-shaped piece 64 is opposite to the positioning clamp 3 at the center.
[0042] In specific use, when the height of the lifting frame 7 is lifted, the pneumatic push cylinders 72 work. The pneumatic push cylinders 72 push the bottom of the supporting plate 61, and the bottom of the supporting plate 61 moves to drive the sliding strips 62 to move. In this way, one end of the sliding strip 62 enters the two sliding grooves 74 on the extension block 73, so that the supporting plate 61 can push the tunnel grating steel frame manufactured on the surface to one side according to the set track;
[0043] The supporting plate 61 moves to drive the corresponding side strips 63 to move, and the two side strips 63 move to drive the U-shaped piece 64 to move at the same time. Due to the U-shaped structure of the U-shaped piece 64, the U-shaped piece 64 moves to wrap the positioning clamp 3 at the center inside, so as not to affect the normal movement track of the horizontal pushing mechanism 6.
[0044] The two pneumatic push cylinders 72 in the scheme are connected with a special cylinder linkage controller in use, so that the synchronization of the two pneumatic push cylinders 72 in movement can be ensured in use.
[0045] Preferably, two groups of guide plates 41 are symmetrically welded on the surface of the bottom plate 4, one notch 42 is formed at the top end of each group of guide plates 41, and a butt plate 75 is movably connected between each group of guide plates 41. The two ends of the butt plate 75 are welded with the inner walls of one end of the lifting frame 7.
[0046] In specific use, two vertical plates are integrally arranged on the inner walls of the two ends of the lifting frame 7, and a sliding port matched with the size of the sliding strip 62 is arranged at the top of each vertical plate. The two ends of the butt plate 75 are also fixedly connected with the lifting frame 7 through welding with the vertical plates.
[0047] Preferably, the reinforcing mechanism 8 comprises a support frame 81, four end heads of the support frame 81 are obliquely supported at four corner portions of the lifting frame 7, a limiting column 82 is welded on the outer walls of the two sides of the central end of the support frame 81, the bottom of the limiting column 82 extends out of the bottom surface of the support frame 81, and a lifting disc 83 is connected between the extension ends of the two limiting columns 82.
[0048] The inside of the lifting disc 83 is screwed with a screw rod 84, the bottom of the screw rod 84 is engaged with the output end of the driving motor 86, the top of the driving motor 86 is installed at the bottom of the central lateral support 5, the top end of the screw rod 84 is movably penetrated through the center end of the support frame 81, the top end of the screw rod 84 is movably engaged with the bottom of the grid mold 1 through the bearing 85, and the bearing 85 is embedded in the inside of the bottom side of the grid mold 1.
[0049] The bottom of the screw rod 84 extends downward through the bottom plate 4, and the screw rod 84 and the bottom plate 4 are movably connected through the bearing 85.
[0050] In specific use, the driving motor 86 is started, the driving motor 86 drives the screw rod 84 to rotate, and the screw rod 84 rotates directionally between the bottom of the grid mold 1 and the bottom plate 4 through the two bearings 85. When the bottom plate 4 rotates, the lifting disc 83 is driven to rotate, and the lifting disc 83 moves vertically upward along with the rotation of the screw rod 84 because the lifting disc 83 is limited by the two limiting columns 82.
[0051] When the lifting disc 83 moves upward, the reinforcing mechanism 8 is pushed to move upward, and the reinforcing mechanism 8 drives the lifting frame 7 to move upward when moving upward. When the lifting frame 7 moves upward, the horizontal pushing mechanism 6 is driven to move upward, so that the two supporting plates 61 on the horizontal pushing mechanism 6 push the manufactured tunnel grid steel frame upward. When the steel bars on the tunnel grid steel frame are separated from the positioning clamp 3, the driving motor 86 stops working. In order to ensure safety, a supporting plate can be placed between the reinforcing mechanism 8 and the bottom plate 4, and the supporting plate can be any bearing device, which is not protected in this scheme.
[0052] The driving motor 86 is a Kaihao motor 600kg type motor, the rated power of which is 1.5KW, the rated voltage is AC220V, the rated current is 6.5A, the rated speed is 1400r / min, the rated torque is 9.55N.m, and the rated load is 600kg. Thus, the driving motor 86 can provide sufficient power to lift the horizontal pushing mechanism 6 and the tunnel grid steel frame on the surface when in use, and the driving motor 86 of this type is equipped with a wireless remote control system, the maximum control distance of which can reach 100 meters, so that the lifting of the motor can be conveniently controlled.
[0053] Preferably, the bottom of the lifting disc 83 is movably abutted on the bottom of the support frame 81, semicircular clamps are formed on the two sides of the lifting disc 83, and the lifting disc 83 is movably clamped with the limiting columns 82 through the semicircular openings. The lifting frame 7 is installed in the gap between the grid mold 1 and the bottom plate 4, and the distance between the reinforcing mechanism 8 and the bottom of the grid mold 1 is greater than the clamping distance between the upper and lower sides of the positioning clamp 3.
[0054] The programmable logic controller is used for automatically controlling the driving motor 86 and the two pneumatic push cylinders 72, and the working sequence and stroke of the driving motor 86 and the two pneumatic push cylinders 72 are edited in the programmable logic controller during use.
[0055] Working principle: when the tunnel grid steel frame is welded between the grid mold 1 and the positioning clamp 3, the driving motor 86 is started at this time. When the driving motor 86 rotates, the screw structure is generated with the lifting disc 83, and since the limiting column 82 limits the lifting disc 83, the lifting disc 83 is vertically moved upward. When the lifting disc 83 moves upward, the reinforcing mechanism 8 is pushed upward, and the reinforcing mechanism 8 moves upward and drives the lifting frame 7 to move upward. When the lifting frame 7 moves upward, the tunnel grid steel frame manufactured is pushed upward through the horizontal pushing mechanism 6, and finally the tunnel grid steel frame is separated from the clamping structure of the positioning clamp 3.
[0056] Then, the pneumatic push cylinder 72 is started, and the telescopic end of the pneumatic push cylinder 72 pushes the supporting plate 61 to move to one side along the bottom of the supporting plate 61. When the supporting plate 61 moves, the tunnel grid steel frame on the surface of the supporting plate 61 is completely pushed out from the positioning clamp 3, so that the tunnel grid steel frame manufactured can be conveniently taken out from the positioning clamp 3 through the above structure during actual use.
[0057] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, although the present application is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, and for those skilled in the art, the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
