Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tunneling machine engineering machinery technology, and relates to an integrated hydraulic oil tank for a low-profile tunneling and anchoring machine, specifically a rear support structure for an integrated hydraulic oil tank of a low-profile tunneling and anchoring machine. Background Technology
[0002] Low-profile roadheader and anchorer is mainly used for tunneling and anchoring operations in low-profile coal mine roadways. Due to the strict limitations on its overall height, the internal space layout of the equipment is extremely compact, and optimizing the layout of each functional component is a huge challenge in the design of low-profile roadheader and anchorer.
[0003] Currently, existing low-profile roadheader / anchor rigs typically employ a split design, with the hydraulic tank and rear support frame being independent components. The rear support frame, the main beam frame connected to the rear of the roadheader / anchor rig body, supports the first transport vehicle, electrical control box, and hydraulic pump motor. The hydraulic tank, on the other hand, is a separate enclosure, usually located in other spaces at the rear or top of the roadheader / anchor rig. This traditional layout presents several problems. First, the independent hydraulic tank occupies valuable, already limited space, severely restricting the flexibility of the overall machine layout. To accommodate the tank, the overall height or width of the machine sometimes has to be increased. Second, the piping connections between the independent tank, the dual pump, and the actuators are long and complex, increasing pressure loss, energy consumption, and the risk of oil leakage. Third, the rear support frame only provides support, and its large beam space is not effectively utilized, resulting in structural and spatial waste. Finally, the split design also leads to a large number of parts, high manufacturing costs, and a heavy overall weight. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated hydraulic oil tank rear support structure for low-profile roadheader and anchor machine, which can make full use of the internal space of the rear support of the roadheader and anchor machine without sacrificing the structural strength and hydraulic performance of the roadheader and anchor machine, optimize the spatial layout of the low-profile roadheader and anchor machine to the maximum extent, and achieve efficient integration of hydraulic oil tank and support structure.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above objectives is as follows: An integrated hydraulic oil tank rear support structure for a low-profile roadheader includes a rear support frame main beam and an oil tank cavity assembly. The oil tank cavity assembly is integrated with the rear support frame main beam as one unit. The oil tank cavity assembly has a U-shaped structure, and the longitudinal rear support stiffeners on both sides of the rear support main beam surround it as the lower passage cavity of the oil tank cavity assembly.
[0006] Furthermore, the main beam of the rear support frame includes a pier plate and longitudinal rear support stiffeners. The lower passage cavity formed by the longitudinal rear support stiffeners is attached to the bottom of the pier plate. The pier plate is provided with an oil return port, a cleaning port, and an oil suction port, which are connected to the lower passage cavity respectively. Oil drain ports are provided at the bottom of both sides of the lower passage cavity. A lower passage cavity magnet is provided in the middle of the bottom of the cleaning port of the lower passage cavity.
[0007] Furthermore, the magnetic rod in the lower passage cavity is supported and fixed by a magnetic rod support bracket.
[0008] Furthermore, the oil tank cavity assembly is located above the bearing plate of the main beam of the rear support frame. The oil tank cavity assembly includes a return oil cavity, an oil suction cavity, and an upper passage cavity. The return oil cavity and the oil suction cavity are connected through the upper passage cavity. At the same time, the return oil cavity is connected to the lower passage cavity through the return oil port provided on the bearing plate, and the oil suction cavity is connected to the lower passage cavity through the oil suction port provided on the bearing plate. The return oil cavity, upper passage cavity, lower passage cavity, and oil suction cavity form a U-shaped oil tank. The recessed part is used to avoid the chute of the first transport machine of the tunneling and anchoring machine.
[0009] Furthermore, a cleaning port is provided above the upper passageway cavity, and a magnetic rod support is provided inside the middle of the upper passageway cavity, with an upper passageway magnetic rod on the magnetic rod support.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper passage cavity and the lower passage cavity are not directly connected. The upper passage cavity is located at the lower front of the foundation panel, and the lower passage cavity is located at the upper rear of the foundation panel. The upper passage cavity and the lower passage cavity, together with the return oil cavity and the suction oil cavity, respectively form a U-shaped oil tank.
[0011] Furthermore, the oil return chamber is set in the shape of a cuboid by the triangular diagonal main stiffener plate on one side above the support plate. The oil return chamber is equipped with an oil return filter connection port, an oil injection connection port, an oil drain connection port, an oil temperature and oil fluid sensor connection port, and an air connector connection port. Two cleaning ports are provided on the outer side of the oil return chamber.
[0012] Furthermore, the oil suction chamber is attached to the triangular inclined main stiffener plate on the side of the bearing plate away from the return oil chamber. The oil suction chamber consists of three parts: a first oil suction chamber, a second oil suction chamber, and a third oil suction chamber. The first oil suction chamber is a cuboid cavity with two cleaning ports on the outside and an air filter connection port on the top. The second oil suction chamber extends to be flush with the outside of the bearing plate of the rear support frame main beam. An oil level groove is provided on the outside of the second oil suction chamber to install an oil level gauge, and a cleaning port is provided on the front side. The first and second oil suction chambers are connected to form an L-shaped cavity. The third oil suction chamber is located below the inner corner of the L-shaped cavity. The third oil suction chamber is provided with a pump suction port for connecting the hydraulic pump.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. Significantly improves space utilization: By using the interior of the rear support frame main beam as a passageway for the hydraulic oil tank, connecting the oil suction chamber and the oil return chamber, the structural and hydraulic functions are integrated, completely eliminating the independent oil tank body and solving the layout problem of extremely compact internal space in low-profile roadheader and anchorer.
[0014] 2. The functional division of the oil tank is clear at a glance. All return oil pipes and drain oil pipes return to the return oil chamber on the left side of the rear support frame, and the oil supply pipes all come out from the suction oil chamber. This makes the pipeline system layout and distribution reasonable, and it is easy to troubleshoot problems.
[0015] 3. The increased capacity of the hydraulic oil tank offers several advantages to the roadheader: First, roadheaders have high workloads and high oil consumption; a large tank can store more hydraulic oil, allowing for longer continuous operation. Second, the hydraulic system is the core power source of the roadheader, generating significant heat during operation. The oil tank is a crucial heat dissipation component. After returning to the return chamber, the hydraulic oil passes through the passageway to the suction chamber, providing sufficient time and surface area for heat exchange with the air and the tank's inner wall, thus reducing oil temperature. The larger volume and heat dissipation area also effectively stabilize the system oil temperature. Third, hydraulic oil inevitably produces contaminants such as wear particles during circulation. The integrated hydraulic oil tank's rear support structure slows down the oil flow, providing more time for impurities and moisture to settle, allowing them to settle into the lower and upper passageways with magnetic rods, rather than being pumped back into precision hydraulic components and causing wear. Finally, the large-capacity tank reduces the frequency of refueling and lowers equipment scheduling costs.
[0016] 4. It ensures the structural strength and stability of the hydraulic system. It creatively utilizes the empty part of the inner cavity of the main beam of the rear support frame to enclose the oil tank cavity. This not only does not weaken the load-bearing capacity of the rear support, but also enhances the stability of the overall structure because the cavity is filled with hydraulic oil.
