Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of building construction, in particular to a variable-span track laying machine. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of urban subway construction and changing market demands, traditional track-laying technology is no longer able to meet the requirements for efficiency, precision, and environmental friendliness. Traditional track-laying technology, which primarily relies on manpower and mechanical equipment, suffers from low efficiency, limited precision, and high labor intensity. This not only impacts the progress and quality of subway track-laying, but also increases costs and safety risks. To meet the urgent need for efficient track-laying technology in subway construction, the Xinneng Intelligent Track Laying Machine was developed by combining advanced technologies such as new energy, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things.
[0003] Tunnel structures vary, including shield, horseshoe, rectangular, platform, and civil air defense door configurations. To accommodate these various tunnel structures and trackbed configurations, the structure and span of the tunnel track laying machine must be adapted accordingly. Due to the confined space within the tunnel, changing the span and structure of the tunnel track laying machine within the tunnel presents numerous risks, operational inconveniences, and lengthy operations. Furthermore, if the tunnel track laying machine ceases operation, the entire track laying process grinds to a halt, resulting in work delays.
[0004] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present invention, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to those skilled in the art.
