DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with examples and drawings. The illustrative implementation scheme of the present application and its description are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a shotcrete manipulator system for a TBM in an inclined shaft of a pumped-storage power station, the shotcrete manipulator system for a TBM in an inclined shaft of a pumped-storage power station comprises a bearing seat 1, an annular drive assembly 2, a bearing base plate 3 and a telescopic assembly 4; an annular track 6 is constructed on the bearing seat 1, and an annular slide rail 7 parallel to the annular track 6 is also provided on the bearing seat 1; the annular drive assembly 2 is in transmission cooperation with the annular track 6, the annular drive assembly has its own power source, the annular drive assembly can move on the annular track 6 driven by its own power, the annular drive assembly can have its own control system, for example, a programmable controller, a single-chip microcomputer, an industrial chip or other controller can be provided on the annular drive assembly; a slider 8 cooperating with the annular slide rail 7 is arranged on the bearing base plate 3, and the annular drive assembly 2 is connected to the slider 8; the telescopic assembly 4 is connected to the bearing base plate 3, and a connecting mechanism 5 for connecting a nozzle of a shotcrete machine is provided on the telescopic assembly 4, and the telescopic assembly 4 can be configured as an electric rod and connected to the control system on the annular drive assembly for controlled movement.

[0035] When in use, the nozzle is first connected to the connection mechanism 5, and then the annular drive assembly is driven to work. The annular drive assembly can reverse at a certain time interval or after a certain amount of movement under the control of the control system, specifically moving clockwise or counterclockwise along the circumference of the inclined well wall. When the shotcrete machine is turned on, the nozzle can perform shotcrete treatment on different positions on the circumference of the inclined well wall driven by the telescopic assembly 4. If the diameter of the inclined well becomes larger or smaller, the telescopic assembly 4 can be controlled by the control system to extend and retract so that the nozzle and the well wall maintain a suitable distance, thereby ensuring a better shotcrete effect.

[0036] The present application provides a shotcreting robot system for the TBM of the inclined shaft of a pumped-storage power station. Through the transmission cooperation between the annular track 6 and the annular drive assembly 2, the telescopic assembly 4 on the bearing base plate 3 can be driven to move in a circumferential direction after the annular drive assembly 2 and the annular track 6 produce a transmission effect. After the telescopic assembly 4 is connected to the nozzle through the connecting mechanism 5 thereon, the nozzle can be driven to move in the circumferential direction, thereby performing a shotcreting treatment on the wall of the inclined shaft. Before shotcreting, construction personnel are only required to connect the nozzle and the connecting mechanism 5. Construction personnel are not required to participate in the shotcreting process, which can reduce the labor intensity of construction personnel and ensure the work safety of construction personnel.

[0037] TBM construction is an underground construction project. The humidity in the inclined shaft may be relatively high, and a certain amount of water mist will be generated during the spraying process. If the usual friction transmission structure is used between the annular track 6 and the annular drive assembly 2, slipping may occur, that is, the transmission efficiency cannot be well guaranteed, which may cause uneven spraying. Therefore, in some optional embodiments, the annular track 6 is configured as an annular chute, and an annular rack 9 is provided in the annular chute; the annular drive assembly 2 is configured as a drive motor and is meshed with the annular rack 9 through a drive gear.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, meshing transmission is achieved through the cooperation of the annular rack 9 and the driving gear, the transmission effect is stable, the transmission efficiency is high, and the uniformity of the grouting can be better guaranteed, which is conducive to forming a better support effect on the inclined well wall.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the annular rack 9 is located on a side wall of the annular slot having a smaller radius of curvature.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the cooperation between the slider 8 and the annular slide rail 7 provides a guiding effect for the annular drive assembly 2. At the same time, the slider 8 also bears the deadweight of the telescopic assembly 4 and the annular drive assembly 2. By setting the annular rack 9 on the side wall with a smaller curvature radius in the annular slide groove, during the process of the engagement between the driving gear and the annular rack 9, the annular rack 9 can form a certain reaction force on the driving gear, thereby reducing the load of the slider 8 to a certain extent, ensuring that the slider 8 and the annular slide rail 7 can provide a better guiding effect.

[0041] After long-term operation, the annular drive assembly 2 and the annular track 6 may accumulate certain errors. When the annular drive assembly 2 moves to the end of the annular track 6, there is a risk of collision. Therefore, in some optional embodiments, a travel switch 10 is provided on the bearing seat 1. In the circumferential direction of the annular slide, the travel switch 10 corresponds to the end position of the annular slide. The travel switch 10 can be connected to the control system on the annular drive assembly 2. When the annular drive assembly 2 moves to the end position of the annular track 6, the bearing seat can contact the travel switch 10. When the control system receives the signal from the travel switch 10, it promptly controls the annular drive assembly 2 to stop moving or move in the reverse direction, thereby avoiding the occurrence of a collision.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the bearing seat 1 is further provided with a guide slot 11, and a guide roller 12 is provided in the guide slot 11 and is rotatably connected to the bearing base plate 3. The guide roller 12 and the guide slot 11 can provide a guiding function together with the slider 8, and the guide roller 12 can share a certain load for the slider 8, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the sliding between the slider 8 and the annular slide rail 7.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the bearing seat 1 is constructed as an arc-shaped body. Such a configuration can meet the configuration of the annular track 6 and the annular slide rail 7 and can reduce the deadweight.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the two ends of the bearing seat 1 are connected by a connecting seat 15, wherein the connecting seat 15 is provided with a slider guide mechanism 13 and a linear displacement drive mechanism 14, and the slider guide mechanism 13 and the linear displacement drive mechanism 14 are both used to connect the TBM equipment. The linear displacement drive mechanism 14 can be configured as a ball screw mechanism and can be controlled by the control system on the annular drive assembly 2 to operate.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the manipulator as a whole can move back and forth along the extension direction of the inclined shaft through the drive of the linear displacement drive mechanism 14, so that after the TBM equipment has excavated a certain distance, the linear displacement drive mechanism 14 can be used to drive the system as a whole to move back and forth, and the ring drive assembly can be used to drive the nozzle to move, thereby achieving grouting on the well wall. In other words, the setting of the linear displacement mechanism enables the manipulator system as a whole to have a larger grouting range, and the manipulator system as a whole can be on standby during a certain length of TBM excavation time, avoiding repeated start and stop, and ensuring the service life of the manipulator system to a certain extent.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, see Figure 3 The connecting mechanism 5 may include a connecting frame 16, a clamping block 17 and an operating bolt 18; the connecting frame 16 is connected to the moving end of the telescopic assembly 4, and the connecting frame 16 can be constructed as a rectangular frame; the clamping block 17 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 16 and is located inside the connecting frame 16. Specifically, two protrusions 20 are respectively provided at both ends of the length of the clamping block 17, and grooves 21 adapted to the protrusions 20 are respectively provided on the two opposite inner walls of the connecting frame 16. After the protrusions 20 are matched with the grooves 21, they can slide in the grooves 21 along the length direction of the grooves 21, and a clamping gap is formed between the clamping block 17 and the inner wall of the connecting frame 16; one end of the operating bolt 18 passes through the connecting frame 16 to be located inside the connecting frame 16, and the operating bolt 18 is threadedly matched with the connecting frame 16 and its axis is parallel to the sliding direction of the clamping block 17.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the nozzle can be clamped between the clamping block 17 and the inner wall of the connecting frame 16 by rotating the operating bolt 18, which has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, a steel ball 22 in contact with the bottom of the groove 21 is provided on the protrusion 20 through a groove locking ball process. That is, the protrusion 20 is equivalent to being configured as a steel ball 22 retaining rack, so that the clamping block 17 can slide more smoothly in the connecting frame 16, and the operation is more convenient.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, the clamping block 17 has an arc-shaped clamping surface for abutting the nozzle. The arc-shaped clamping surface can be a rubber surface, that is, an arc-shaped rubber body can be fixedly connected to the clamping block 17. The arc-shaped rubber body has a certain flexibility. After the nozzle is clamped, the arc-shaped rubber body can have a larger contact area with the nozzle, which is conducive to improving the clamping stability.

[0050] In some optional embodiments, a mounting groove penetrating the connecting frame 16 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting frame 16 opposite to the clamping block 17, and a rubber clamping body 19 for abutting against the nozzle is provided in the mounting groove. In other words, the nozzle can be clamped by two rubber bodies, and the two rubber bodies can form a larger contact area with the nozzle, which can further improve the clamping stability.
