Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cable retracting and releasing equipment, in particular to a rear-mounted cable movable retracting and releasing device for a fully mechanized tunneling machine. Background Art

[0002] A tunnel boring machine (TBM), short for a comprehensive mechanized tunneling machine, is a multi-functional mechanized machine that integrates multiple functions, including tunneling, rock loading, coal transportation, and even support and road nailing. It can complete the formation of a roadway in a single cut. Typically located at the forefront of the working face, TBMs are responsible for excavating and crushing rock to create new roadway space. Using comprehensive mechanized tunneling can increase tunneling progress by more than 30 times compared to drilling and blasting.

[0003] However, during the production process, the tunnel boring machine frequently moves back and forth and swings left and right, and its power cord also moves with the movement of the equipment, making cable management difficult. Furthermore, the cables are constantly dragged on the ground, causing friction and accelerated wear. The cables are often squeezed and dragged on the ground, causing them to be easily damaged, increasing equipment troubleshooting time and reducing tunneling efficiency. Furthermore, to prevent the equipment from crushing the cables, personnel must constantly intervene and adjust the cables' position, posing a significant safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the hanging loops are all arranged collinearly.

[0009] Furthermore, the hanging ring is movably arranged on the side of the second belt conveyor and can slide left and right along the side of the second belt conveyor.

[0010] Furthermore, the spacing between adjacent hanging rings is 30 to 40 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the distance between adjacent suspension pulleys is 30-40 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the top heights of the first support rod and the second support rod are the same.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model is a mobile retracting and releasing device for the rear cable of a tunnel boring machine, comprising a tunnel boring machine 1 arranged in an excavation tunnel, a first belt conveyor 2 being connected to the rear end of the tunnel boring machine 1, a second belt conveyor 3 being connected to the rear end of the first belt conveyor 2; a distribution box 8 is also connected to the rear end of the tunnel boring machine 1.

[0023] The bottom of the second belt conveyor 3 is slidably connected to the tail dense frame 11, and the rear end of the tail dense frame 11 is connected to the cable rack 9, which is a cylindrical hollow frame; a vertical first support rod 13 is welded to the side of the second belt conveyor 3, and a vertical second support rod 14 is welded to the side of the tail dense frame 11 on the same side. The top heights of the first support rod 13 and the second support rod 14 are the same, and the height of the cable rack 9 is half the height of the second support rod 14; both ends of the first support rod 13 and the top of the second support rod 14 are connected to a guide pulley 5, the front end of the tail dense frame 11 is connected to one end of the wire rope 6, and the other end of the wire rope 6 is sequentially wound from the bottom of the guide pulley 5 at the bottom of the first support rod 13 to the top of the guide pulley 5 at the top of the first support rod 13, and then horizontally wound to the top of the guide pulley 5 of the second support rod 14, and finally the end of the wire rope 6 is connected to the tail dense frame 11 below the second support rod 14.

[0024] Three suspension pulleys 7 are installed on the horizontal section of wire rope 6 between the first support rod 13 and the second support rod 14. Six hanging rings 4 are movably connected to the side of the secondary belt conveyor 3. The hanging rings 4 can slide left and right along the side of the secondary belt conveyor 3, similar to curtain hooks, so that the spacing of the hanging rings 4 can be adjusted at any time according to the cable specifications. One end of the cable 12 is connected to the distribution box 8, and the other end passes through all the hanging rings 4 and suspension pulleys 7 in sequence before being coiled on the cable rack 9. The end of the cable 12 is connected to a set of locked hooks 10 located in the excavation tunnel. Among them, all hanging rings 4 are arranged in groups of three and are all arranged in a collinear manner. The spacing between adjacent hanging rings 4 and adjacent suspension pulleys 7 is 30 mm.

[0025] When the tunnel boring machine 1 moves forward and backward, it drives the first belt conveyor 2 to move forward and backward, and the first belt conveyor 2 then drives the second belt conveyor 3 to move synchronously. At the same time, the first support rod 13 moves synchronously with the second belt conveyor 3. At this time, the wire rope 6 and the cable 12 on the wire rope 6 will also move synchronously with the second belt conveyor 3 to cooperate with the tunnel boring machine to perform excavation work. During the excavation process, redundant cables will be coiled on the cable rack 9 to avoid long-term dragging on the ground and causing damage. When the moving range of the tunnel boring machine 1 exceeds the extended length of the cable line, the cable line on the cable rack 9 can also be removed and hung on the excavation tunnel hook 10 closest to the tunnel boring machine 1, and the end of the cable 12 is fixed to the hook 10 to flexibly complete the excavation work beyond the range.
