Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a patrol vehicle which can prevent rollover. Background Art

[0002] Mine inspection vehicles, a common means of transportation within mining areas, are primarily used for mine inspections, equipment status monitoring, and material transportation. However, due to the unique nature of mining roads, which are often uneven, rugged, and muddy, these vehicles face significant challenges during operation.

[0003] Mining area roads are often not fully hardened, resulting in uneven surfaces with potholes and potholes. Some roads may even have steep slopes and irregular undulations due to natural conditions or long-term use. When inspection vehicles travel on these uneven roads, they are susceptible to severe up-and-down jolting and side-to-side tilting. This vibration and tilting not only causes discomfort to the equipment and personnel inside, but also increases the risk of rollover.

[0004] Rollovers not only seriously impact the normal use and efficiency of inspection vehicles but also pose a threat to the safety of personnel inside. Vehicle stability and driving safety are particularly crucial on narrow and rugged mining roads. While some mining vehicles currently utilize advanced suspension systems to mitigate vibration, they still cannot completely address the bumps caused by uneven roads, leading to frequent rollovers in complex road conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model proposes a patrol vehicle that can prevent rollover. By introducing the synergistic effect of clamping wheels and track wheels, the stability and safety of the vehicle traveling on mine tracks are improved, which not only effectively reduces the risk of rollover, but also improves the vehicle's ability to adapt to complex road conditions, thereby enhancing the operating efficiency and safety of the patrol vehicle.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0007] A patrol vehicle that can prevent rollover is used for traveling on mine tracks. It includes a vehicle body, and rail wheels mounted on the mine tracks and arranged below the vehicle body, and clamping wheels arranged below the vehicle body for clamping the tracks. The wheel surface of the clamping wheel is in contact with the side of the mine track. A first connecting member is provided between the rail wheel and the vehicle body, and a second connecting member is provided on the first connecting member. The clamping wheel is installed on the second connecting member and is adjacent to the rail wheel.

[0008] Preferably, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are both angle steels.

[0009] Preferably, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are both matingly connected with the axle of the track wheel in sequence.

[0010] Preferably, a 90° angle is formed between the running surface of the rail wheel and the running surface of the clamping wheel.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping wheel is located on the inner side of the vehicle body.

[0012] Preferably, the rail surface of the mine track is in the shape of a circular tube, and the wheel surface of the track wheel is a concave wheel surface that fits the rail surface of the mine track.

[0013] Preferably, the wheel surface of the clamping wheel is a horizontal wheel surface.

[0014] Preferably, the track wheel is provided with more than one, and each track wheel has a corresponding clamping wheel on one side.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] The introduction of gripping wheels, which contact the side of the track, increases vehicle stability on the mine track. These gripping wheels effectively prevent lateral sway and tilt, preventing rollovers caused by uneven mine tracks or sharp turns. This ensures smoother vehicle travel and reduces the risk of rollover. The design of the track wheels and gripping wheels ensures closer contact between the vehicle and the track, improving grip and control. Especially on uneven tracks or steep slopes, the gripping wheels prevent the vehicle from slipping and losing control, significantly enhancing driving safety.

[0017] This solution effectively improves the maneuverability of mining inspection vehicles, especially on narrow or curved mine tracks. The gripping wheels adhere closely to the side of the mine track, increasing the vehicle's grip on the track and improving performance on complex track structures. This prevents rollovers and other accidents caused by loss of control when traversing these areas. This design enhances vehicle stability, significantly reducing the chance of rollovers and damage, thereby reducing repair and maintenance costs associated with rollovers and bumps. Furthermore, the system's simple structure makes commissioning and maintenance easier, reducing complex repair work and time consumption. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Example

[0023] See Figure 1-2 As shown, a patrol vehicle that can prevent rollover is used to travel on a mine track 1, including a vehicle body 2, and a rail wheel 3 mounted on the mine track 1 and arranged below the vehicle body 2, and a clamping wheel 4 arranged below the vehicle body 2 and used to clamp the track, the wheel surface of the clamping wheel 4 is in contact with the side of the mine track 1, a first connecting member 5 is provided between the rail wheel 3 and the vehicle body 2, a second connecting member 6 is provided on the first connecting member 5, the clamping wheel 4 is installed on the second connecting member 6, and is adjacent to the rail wheel 3.

[0024] By introducing the gripping wheels 4 and placing their wheel surfaces against the sides of the mine track 1, the inspection vehicle can be effectively prevented from tilting or rolling over during travel. The gripping wheels 4 increase the contact area between the vehicle and the track, thereby enhancing the stability between the vehicle body 2 and the track and reducing the risk of rollovers caused by factors such as unevenness, sharp turns, and changes in grade on the mine track 1. The gripping wheels 4 play a crucial stabilizing role, especially in mining areas where the track often has irregular undulations.

[0025] This design allows the track wheels 3 and gripping wheels 4 to adapt to the varying shapes and conditions of the mine track 1. The flexible arrangement of the first connector 5 and the second connector 6 allows the track wheels 3 and gripping wheels 4 to adjust their relative positions even when the track surface varies significantly, effectively improving the vehicle's adaptability. Whether on uneven tracks or around sharp curves, the inspection vehicle maintains stable operation, minimizing the risk of loss of control or jamming due to track irregularities.

[0026] This solution significantly enhances the safety of inspection vehicles by ensuring closer contact with the mine track 1, particularly the secure connection between the vehicle and the track side. The clamping wheels 4 not only prevent the vehicle from rolling over but also effectively suppress lateral sway and severe vibration, especially in poor mining road or track conditions. This smoother driving not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces the likelihood of accidents, protecting personnel safety.

[0027] The first connecting member 5 and the second connecting member 6 are both angle steels; the first connecting member 5 and the second connecting member 6 are both matched and connected with the wheel axle of the track wheel 3 in sequence.

[0028] Angle steel, a material with high strength and rigidity, can effectively enhance the load-bearing capacity of the entire connection structure. The L-shaped cross-section of the angle steel allows it to more evenly distribute stress when subjected to longitudinal and lateral loads, preventing localized failure or deformation. The use of angle steel in the design of the first and second connectors 5, 6, improves the stability of the connection between the track wheel 3 and the vehicle body 2, making the inspection vehicle more secure when traveling on the complex mine track 1 and less prone to loosening or damage.

[0029] Angle steel connectors offer high process adjustability and ease of fabrication. The design allows the first and second connectors 5 and 6 to be connected to the axles of the track wheels 3 through simple welding, bolting, and other methods, facilitating manufacturing, maintenance, and adjustment. This design allows maintenance personnel to quickly replace or adjust connectors, reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of the inspection vehicle. Furthermore, the angle steel structure facilitates on-site adjustments to suit the actual conditions of the mine track 1.

[0030] The running surface of the track wheel 3 and the running surface of the clamping wheel 4 form an angle of 90 degrees; the clamping wheel 4 is located on the inner side of the vehicle body 2.

[0031] The 90° angle between the track wheel 3 and the clamping wheel 4 means they can effectively bear forces in different directions. The track wheel 3 is primarily responsible for supporting the vehicle body 2 and maintaining contact with the track, while the clamping wheel 4 helps stabilize the vehicle body 2 by closely contacting the side of the mine track 1. Because the track wheel 3 and the clamping wheel 4 act on longitudinal and lateral forces respectively, the 90° angle design can better balance these two forces, thereby reducing the risk of lateral slippage or tilting of the vehicle body 2. The clamping wheel 4 is located on the inside of the vehicle body 2, allowing it to exert a stronger restraining force on the side of the vehicle body 2, further preventing the vehicle body 2 from deviating from the track.

[0032] By positioning the gripping wheels 4 inside the vehicle body 2 and forming a 90° angle with the track wheels 3, the vehicle can effectively handle the complexities of the mine track 1. For example, the mine track 1 may have certain bends, undulations, or irregularities. The gripping wheels 4, by closely fitting against the track side, help the vehicle maintain good stability on curves or track irregularities. The angled design with the track wheels 3 enables them to work together, ensuring that the vehicle body 2 can smoothly navigate even with significant track variations, avoiding tilting or derailment.

[0033] The rail surface of the mine track 1 is in the shape of a circular tube, and the wheel surface of the track wheel 3 is a concave wheel surface that fits the rail surface of the mine track 1; the wheel surface of the clamping wheel 4 is a horizontal wheel surface; there is more than one track wheel 3, and each track wheel 3 has a clamping wheel 4 on one side.

[0034] The tubular mine track 1 and the recessed track wheel 3 form a close fit, effectively enhancing the contact stability between the wheel and rail. The recessed wheel tread ensures a better fit between the wheel and the track surface, reducing sliding friction between the wheel and track, and providing more stable support. This design is particularly well-suited for irregular or curved mine tracks, better adapting to track deformation or unevenness, thereby reducing failures and instability caused by wheel-rail mismatch.

[0035] Each track wheel 3 is accompanied by a clamping wheel 4, whose wheel surface is horizontal. This design provides additional lateral support and restraint. By closely contacting the track side, the clamping wheel 4 prevents the vehicle from slipping or derailing. This is particularly crucial when the track in a mine is irregular or curved, ensuring the stable operation of the vehicle body 2 and preventing it from derailing. This design enhances vehicle safety and stability.

[0036] The above embodiments of the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention, and the implementation methods of the present invention are not limited thereto. All other modifications, replacements or changes made to the above structure of the present invention based on the above contents of the present invention, in accordance with common technical knowledge and customary means in this field, without departing from the above basic technical ideas of the present invention, should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
