Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a multi-degree-of-freedom geared rail drive device for ordinary rails in underground coal mines, belonging to the technical field of underground coal mine transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, auxiliary transportation methods in coal mines are mainly divided into trackless transportation and rail transportation, with rail transportation accounting for a larger proportion of mines. Rail transportation mines mainly use ground rails and ordinary rails.

[0003] The rack rail locomotive runs on ground rails and is powered by a diesel engine or battery. It features high traction, strong climbing ability, low requirements for tunnel cross-section height, and full rail clamping, making it suitable for long-distance, steep-slope, heavy-load transportation.

[0004] Most of the rack and pinion locomotives used in underground coal mines are non-standard rail rack and pinion locomotives, which can only run on specially customized non-standard rails. This requires the removal of existing ordinary rails and replacement with non-standard rails, resulting in a large amount of construction work and high production and maintenance costs, which limits the widespread application of rack and pinion locomotives in underground coal mines.

[0005] Chinese Patent CN 119612072 A discloses a track conveying system for a conventional rail-mounted rack railcar. While it mentions that sliders are installed at four positions on the frame (front, back, left, and right), and that annular grooves are provided on the mounting bracket of the drive unit, allowing the sliders to slide within these grooves to adapt to track variations and improve smoother operation, the detailed description of how the sliders slide within the grooves to adapt to track changes is not provided. In underground coal mine transportation systems, given the complex working conditions, on the one hand, errors in laying the ground rails can easily lead to misaligned rails; on the other hand, ground rails often involve horizontal curves. Therefore, based on the track conveying system disclosed in Chinese Patent CN 119612072 A, further optimization of the fit between the sliders and the annular grooves is needed to adapt to track variations. Furthermore, the rail conveying system disclosed in Chinese Patent CN 119612072 A uses a traveling wheel flange for guidance and a fixed rail clamping assembly for rail clamping. Specifically, the rail clamping assembly is fixed to the traveling wheel frame, and then the rail clamping assembly cooperates with the guide plates on both sides of the rack rail to achieve rail clamping. Underground coal mine conditions are complex, deformation of ordinary rails is unavoidable, and the rail head of ordinary rails is narrow, resulting in limited clamping space. Therefore, using a fixed wheel clamping method presents significant technical challenges. Consequently, the fixed rail clamping assembly has weak adaptability to complex underground rail conditions; deformation of the ordinary rail or even slight changes in gauge can cause the rail clamping assembly to jam, affecting the safe operation of the rack rail clamping locomotive. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Based on the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0038] 1. The multi-degree-of-freedom toothed rail clamping drive device of the present invention, through the two sliding support blocks A and two sliding support blocks B arranged in the first drive unit, enables the first drive support frame to swing around the axis of the sliding support block A (i.e. the point where the sliding support block A and the first drive support frame are hinged) perpendicular to the track direction, thereby enabling the multi-degree-of-freedom toothed rail clamping drive device of the present invention to adapt to the working conditions of the male and female rails caused by the laying error of the ground rail and ordinary rail.

[0058] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, expressions, and values ​​of components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0059] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "over," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figure with other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation besides the orientation of the device as described in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, a device described as "above" or "above" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations).

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-degree-of-freedom toothed rail drive device for ordinary underground rails in coal mines according to the present invention includes a main frame I and a first drive unit II and a second drive unit III respectively disposed on the main frame I. The main frame I is respectively provided with a first frame slide groove 12 and a second frame slide groove 13 arranged in a circular pattern. The first drive unit II and the second drive unit III are respectively fitted to the first frame slide groove 12 and the second frame slide groove 13, wherein:

[0061] The first drive unit II and the second drive unit III described in this invention, as follows: Figures 2 to 8As shown, each includes a drive support frame; each drive support frame includes a main frame, a pin gear power assembly, a rail travel unit, and four sliding support blocks. For ease of detailed explanation of the specific structure of the first drive unit II and the second drive unit III, the drive support frame of the first drive unit II will be referred to as the first drive support frame 1, and the main frame, pin gear power assembly, and four sliding support blocks included in the first drive support frame 1 will be referred to as the first main frame 11, the first pin gear power assembly 2, and the four first sliding support blocks 5, respectively. The drive support frame of the second drive unit III will be referred to as the second drive support frame 6, and the main frame, pin gear power assembly, and four sliding support blocks included in the second drive support frame 6 will be referred to as the second main frame, the second pin gear power assembly 7, and the four second sliding support blocks 8, respectively.

[0062] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in the first drive unit II of the present invention, the first pin gear power assembly 2 is mounted on the first main frame 11; four first sliding support blocks 5, two of which are arranged at both ends of the first main frame 11 along the driving direction, and the remaining two are arranged at both ends of the first main frame 11 along the axis of the first pin gear of the first pin gear power assembly 2; the main frame I is provided with a first frame slide groove 12 arranged in a circle; the first drive unit II is assembled in the first frame slide groove 12 and is slidably connected to the first frame slide groove 12 circumferentially through the four first sliding support blocks 5; of the four first sliding support blocks 5, the two first sliding support blocks 5 arranged along the driving direction are set as sliding support blocks. A51 is hinged to both ends of the first main frame 11, while the remaining two first sliding support blocks 5 are set as sliding support blocks B52 and fixed to both ends of the first main frame 11 respectively. In the first drive unit II, the rotation axis of the sliding support block A51 is arranged along the driving direction, while the sliding support block B52 has a reserved swing gap with the first frame slide groove 12. Through the action of the first drive unit II, the first drive support frame 1 can swing left and right to adapt to the yin-yang rail working condition caused by the laying error of the ground rail ordinary rail 4 (the ground rail ordinary rail 4 includes ordinary guide rail 41 and toothed rail 42, the toothed rail 42 is arranged in the middle, and there are two ordinary guide rails 41, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the toothed rail 42). When the horizontal height difference between the left and right ordinary guide rails 41 is large (yin-yang rail working condition), if the degree of freedom is insufficient, the chuck 341 is prone to jamming the ordinary guide rail 41, resulting in greater driving resistance or damage to the ordinary guide rail 41, affecting safe operation. The second drive support frame 6 and the first frame slide groove 12 are kept in sliding contact. The first drive support frame 1 and the first frame slide groove 12 are provided with a swing freedom perpendicular to the track direction. When the ordinary guide rail 41 is in the case of yin-yang rail working condition, the first drive support frame 1 can swing with the height difference direction of the ordinary guide rail 41 while the second drive unit III and the main frame I remain stable. This prevents the walking wheel assembly 33 from being lifted off the ordinary guide rail 41 and causing the jacking wheel 341 to jam with the ordinary guide rail 41. It can adapt to the yin-yang rail working condition with a maximum height difference of 40mm.

[0063] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, in the second drive unit III of the present invention, the second pin gear power assembly 7 is mounted on the second main frame; the main frame I is provided with a second frame slide groove 13 arranged in a circle; the second drive unit III is assembled in the second frame slide groove 13 and is slidably connected to the second frame slide groove 13 circumferentially through four second sliding support blocks 8; the four second sliding support blocks 8 are all set as sliding support blocks A51 and are respectively hinged to the second main frame, while two of the second sliding support blocks 8 are arranged at both ends of the second main frame along the driving direction, and the remaining two second sliding support blocks 8 are arranged at both ends of the second main frame along the pin gear axis of the second pin gear power assembly 7; in the second drive unit III, the rotation axis of the two second sliding support blocks 8 arranged along the driving direction is arranged along the driving direction, while the rotation axis of the remaining two second sliding support blocks 8 is arranged along the pin gear axis of the second pin gear power assembly 7; through the action of the second drive unit III, the second drive support frame 6 can achieve horizontal rotation to adapt to horizontal cornering conditions.

[0064] When the locomotive passes through a horizontal curve, both the first drive unit II and the second drive unit III can rotate and slide in the first frame slide groove 12 and the second frame slide groove 13. The first drive unit II and the second drive unit III rotate along the central axis of their respective drive units to ensure effective meshing between the pin shaft and the rack 42. This can adapt to curve conditions with a minimum radius of 4 meters and meet the requirements of extreme underground road conditions.

[0065] In this invention, the outer surface of the sliding support block A51 has an arc surface that matches the bottom of the first frame slide groove 12 / second frame slide groove 13. To avoid interference during the horizontal rotation of the sliding support block A51 along the first frame slide groove 12 / second frame slide groove 13, a through groove is provided in the middle region of the outer surface of the sliding support block A51 in the transverse direction, thereby reducing the mating surface area between the outer surface of the sliding support block A51 and the first frame slide groove 12 / second frame slide groove 13. A connecting pin hole is provided in the middle of the through groove for hinged connection with the first / second main frame via a connecting pin; the axial direction of the connecting pin is parallel to the plane containing the first frame slide groove 12 / second frame slide groove 13. Therefore, the sliding support block A51 is the main load-bearing component of the multi-degree-of-freedom gear rail clamping drive device of this invention.

[0066] In this invention, the sliding support block B52 is arranged in an L-shape and includes a horizontal connecting plate and a vertical guide plate. The horizontal connecting plate is connected to the first main frame as a whole by threaded fasteners, while the outer surface of the vertical guide plate is provided with a strip-shaped arc-shaped guide portion that is guided and connected to the first frame slide groove 12. There is a swing gap between the upper and lower ends of the vertical guide plate and the first frame slide groove 12.

[0067] like Figure 9, Figure 10 The first drive unit II and the second drive unit III of the present invention each include a rail-clamping travel unit 3 that matches the ordinary guide rail of the ground rail 4; each of the two outer ends of the first and second main frames in the direction of the pin gear axis is equipped with a rail-clamping travel unit 3, and each rail-clamping travel unit 3 includes a swing travel wheel frame 31, a travel wheel assembly 33 and a floating rail clamp 34, wherein: the swing travel wheel frame 31 is hinged to the corresponding first or second main frame through a connecting shaft 32; the travel wheel assembly 33 includes two sets, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting shaft 32 and respectively connected to the swing travel wheel frame 31; the floating rail clamp 34 includes two sets, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting shaft 32 and respectively connected to the swing travel wheel frame 31, and the two sets of travel wheel assemblies 33 are located between the two sets of floating rail clamps 34; when the travel wheel assembly 33 travels along the ordinary guide rail, the floating rail clamp 34 achieves floating rail clamping with the ordinary guide rail on the same side. Coal mines often have complex geological conditions and high ground pressure, leading to frequent ground heave. Ordinary guide rails are frequently deformed due to this heave, making it difficult to guarantee the standard track gauge. When the actual track gauge deviates significantly from the standard track gauge, using a fixed track clamping method can easily cause the chuck 341 to seize up with the ordinary guide rail. This invention provides a floating track clamping device 34 with a specific structure (including a chuck 341, a limiting bushing 344, and a sliding shaft 343) below the first drive unit II and the second drive unit III. The chuck 341 can move synchronously with the track gauge changes of the ordinary guide rail, and can adapt to track gauge changes of up to ±40mm from the standard track gauge, meeting the safety track clamping requirements under extreme working conditions.

[0068] Specifically, the floating rail clamp 34 includes a clamping wheel 341, a limiting bushing 344, and a sliding shaft 343; wherein: the limiting bushing 344 is fixedly connected to the swing traveling wheel frame 31; the axial direction of the sliding shaft 343 is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the ordinary guide rail and is slidably mounted in the limiting bushing 344 along its own axial direction, and at least one side of the sliding shaft 343 is equipped with a clamping wheel 341 on both sides of the limiting bushing 344, and both ends of the sliding shaft 343 are equipped with locking nuts 345 to prevent the clamping wheel 341 / limiting wheel 342 from falling off; the wheel surface of the clamping wheel 341 is located on the lower side of the ordinary guide rail, and a floating gap is reserved between the wheel surface of the clamping wheel 341 and the outer side of the ordinary guide rail to ensure that when the sliding shaft 343 slides in the limiting bushing 344, the clamping wheel 341 can always effectively clamp with the ordinary guide rail. The swing-type traveling wheel frame 31 is hinged at both ends of the drive support frame to accommodate the up-and-down swing of the vertical curve section, ensuring that each set of traveling wheels is in contact with the rail surface. Two sets of traveling wheel assemblies 33 are respectively arranged on both sides of the swing-type traveling wheel frame 31, and the traveling wheel axles are fixed to the swing-type traveling wheel frame 31. The floating rail clamp 34 is clearance-fitted with the swing-type traveling wheel frame 31 through the sliding shaft 343 to ensure smooth sliding. The sliding shaft 343 can be a circular, square, or polygonal shaft.

[0069] The floating rail catcher 34 has various structural forms, and can be selected as follows: Figure 10 The structure shown includes an outer limiting wheel 342 and an inner retaining wheel 341, where the retaining wheel 341 is located on the inner side of the ordinary guide rail 41, and the limiting wheel 342 is located on the outer side. Alternatively, it can be an inner limiting wheel 342 + outer retaining wheel 341 structure, where the limiting wheel 342 is located on the inner side of the ordinary guide rail 41 and the retaining wheel 341 is located on the outer side. A double-sided retaining wheel structure is also possible, where retaining wheels 341 are arranged on both the inner and outer sides of the ordinary guide rail 41. The limiting wheel 342 and retaining wheel 341 are fixedly connected to the sliding shaft 343, and a gap is left between the limiting wheel 342, retaining wheel 341 and the side of the rail. When the distance between the left and right ordinary guide rails 41 changes, the floating rail clamp 34 can effectively clamp the rail while floating and clamping it with the rail.

[0070] Therefore, both the first drive unit II and the second drive unit III of this invention comprise three parts: a pin gear power assembly, a drive support frame, and a rail-mounted traveling unit 3. The pin gear power assembly and the rail-mounted traveling unit 3 of both units have the same structure; the difference lies only in the arrangement of different sliding support block structures to adapt to different working conditions of the ground rail and ordinary rail 4. Specifically, to adapt to the working conditions of the yin-yang rail caused by the laying error of the ground rail and ordinary rail 4, the first drive unit II has four first sliding support blocks, with two first sliding support blocks arranged along the driving direction as sliding support blocks A51, and the two first sliding support blocks arranged along the pin gear axis as sliding support blocks B52. To adapt to the horizontal bending conditions of the ground rail and ordinary rail 4, the second drive unit III arranges all four second sliding support blocks as sliding support blocks A51.

[0071] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the first and second pin gear power assemblies have similar structures, both including a drive component 21, a reducer, a speed measuring device 22, a pin gear assembly 26, a disc brake 25, and a centrifugal speed limiting device 24. The pin gear assembly 26 includes a pin gear carrier and a pin gear shaft mounted on the pin gear carrier. The pin gear shaft can mesh with the toothed rail 42 of the ground rail ordinary rail 4. The drive component 21 is mounted on the corresponding first or second drive support frame 6, and the power output end of the drive component 21 is connected to the input end of the reducer. The output end of the reducer is fixedly connected to the pin gear carrier. The disc brake 25 is fixed to the corresponding first or second drive support frame 6 through a brake frame 23, and the brake shoe of the disc brake 25 can make frictional contact with the brake discs arranged on both sides of the pin gear carrier when braking.
