Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunneling machine technology, and specifically to a column telescopic mechanism for cantilever tunneling machines. Background Technology
[0002] Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are widely used in tunneling operations in coal mine roadways and mountain tunnels. They mainly consist of a cutting mechanism, a traveling mechanism, and a transfer mechanism. During the mining and loading process, TBMs need to frequently move forward and backward, which severely reduces their mining efficiency and shortens the service life of the chassis. To avoid these problems, a telescopic device is usually designed into the cutting mechanism of the TBM, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of roadway excavation.
[0003] There are two main methods for telescopic cutting in existing cantilever tunneling machines: one is to install a telescopic mechanism on the cantilever section between the cutting reducer and the cutting head; the other is to connect the cutting motor, reducer, and cutting head into a single unit, with a telescopic mechanism between this unit and the cutting boom structure. When the telescopic device is installed in the cutting section or motor housing, the movement of the cutting head, cutting arm, cutting reducer, and cutting motor as a whole is driven by a telescopic cylinder. This layout tends to result in a complex cutting boom structure, increasing the difficulty of maintenance and inspection. Furthermore, in semi-coal and rock conditions, the cutting section experiences severe vibrations, which can affect the stability of the connection between the telescopic device and the main body, thus impacting the service life of the telescopic mechanism. Additionally, the limited telescopic range of these mechanisms also restricts the tunneling machine's mining efficiency, thereby affecting the construction period and progress. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a column-type telescopic mechanism for cantilever tunneling machines, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing cutting telescopic mechanism of cantilever tunneling machines affects the stability of the connection between the telescopic device and the main body. The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0005] This utility model provides a column-type telescopic mechanism for a cantilever tunneling machine, comprising:
[0006] A sliding assembly includes a guide column, a sliding frame, a first telescopic power member, and a rotary table.

[0011] A further improvement of the column telescopic mechanism of this utility model for cantilever tunneling machines is that the sliding frame is provided with a guide cylinder sleeved on the guide column, and a sealing component is provided between the guide cylinder and the guide column.
[0012] A further improvement of the present invention for the column telescopic mechanism of a cantilever tunneling machine is that the sealing assembly includes a bushing, a dust ring and an end cap.

The lifting power component 50 is connected between the rotary table 60 and the boom 40.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rotary table 60 is mounted on the sliding frame 90 via the rotary support 70. The lifting power component 50 can be a hydraulic cylinder. The rotary table 60 is hinged to the boom 40, the piston rod end of the lifting power component is hinged to the boom 40, and the cylinder end of the lifting power component is hinged to the rotary table 60. The extension and retraction of the cutting boom of the cantilever tunneling machine is achieved through the sliding frame 90 and the double guide columns 100, which is beneficial for the precise excavation and shaping of the roadway or tunnel cross-section. It also has the advantages of large extension stroke, simple structure, high mechanical strength, and reliable operation, effectively improving the cutting range and mining efficiency of the cantilever tunneling machine. The extension and retraction of the guide cylinder 901 and the double guide columns 100 has a large contact area and uniform force during sliding, so it can withstand large impact and vibration loads, and the entire equipment has good cutting stability.
[0033] Preferably, the sliding frame 90 is provided with a mounting base, and a second telescopic power component 80 is connected between the mounting base and the rotary table 60. Specifically, the mounting base is located at the end of the sliding frame 90 away from the cutting head 10, and the second telescopic power component 80 can be a hydraulic cylinder.
[0034] Preferably, there are two second telescopic power members 80, which are hinged to both sides of the rotary table 60. In this embodiment, there are two second telescopic members, which are hinged to both sides of the rotary table 60 to make the movement of the rotary table 60 more stable. The rotary table 60 can slide on the sliding frame 90 by extending and retracting the second telescopic members.
[0035] Preferably, there are at least two guide columns 100, and the at least two guide columns 100 are spaced apart. The first telescopic power component 120 can be a hydraulic cylinder. The tunneling machine is equipped with a chassis for mounting the guide columns 100. The two ends of the guide columns 100 are fixed to the chassis by several sets of bolts through guide column pressure seats 120. The piston rod end of the first telescopic power component 120 is connected to the sliding frame 90 by a pin, and the cylinder end of the first telescopic power component 120 is fixed to the chassis by a pin. Through the telescopic movement of the first telescopic power component 120, the sliding frame 90 slides on the guide columns 100, thereby realizing the overall front-to-back telescopic movement of the cutting section.
[0036] Preferred, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the sliding frame 90 is provided with a guide cylinder 901 sleeved on the guide post 100, and a sealing assembly 130 is provided between the guide cylinder 901 and the guide post 100 to prevent dust particles and other impurities from entering the internal space.
[0037] Preferably, the sealing assembly 130 includes a bushing 1301, a dust ring 1304, and an end cap 1306. The bushing 1301 is sleeved between the guide cylinder 901 and the guide post 100. The end cap 1306 is detachably fixed to the end of the guide cylinder 901, and the dust ring 1304 is sleeved between the guide post 100 and the end cap 1306. Specifically, the end cap 1306 includes two opposing semi-circular caps, which are fixed together in a circular shape by screws 1307 and fixed to the end face of the guide cylinder 901 by screws 1307. The guide cylinder 901 has a lubrication channel for injecting solid grease between the guide cylinder 901 and the guide post 100 during forward and backward sliding. During operation, the closed cavity formed by the sealing device between the guide cylinder 901 and the guide post 100 is filled with grease to reduce friction and wear during sliding.
[0038] Preferably, the sealing assembly 130 further includes a first sealing ring 1302. The bushing 1301 has an outwardly formed flange at one end near the end cap 1306. The first sealing ring 1302 is engaged between the flange and the guide cylinder 901. The end cap 1306 has a notch for accommodating the flange. When the end cap 1306 is tightened, the bushing 1301 presses the first sealing ring 1302 against the side wall of the guide cylinder 901, serving as the first seal.
[0039] Preferably, the sealing assembly 130 further includes a shaped sleeve 1305, which is fitted between the guide post 100 and the end cap 1306, and located on the side of the dustproof ring 1304 away from the bushing 1301.

The second sealing ring 1303 is pressed against the shaped sleeve 1305 in the vertical direction by the groove surface of the end cap 1306, serving as a second seal. This structure of two staggered seals, combined with the elastic and malleable dustproof ring 1304, effectively prevents external dust, particles, and other impurities from entering the internal space, thereby significantly improving the sealing effect.
[0041] Preferred, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the boom 40 is equipped with a cutting motor 30 and a cutting reducer 20, with the cutting reducer 20 connected between the cutting motor 30 and the cutting head 10. The cutting motor 30 is mounted inside the boom 40 by several fasteners. The cutting head 10 is fixed to the front section of the boom 40 and is connected to the boom 40 via a coupling. Through the extension and retraction of the lifting power component and the second telescopic power component 80, the cutting head 10 can perform large-amplitude vertical and horizontal swing cutting movements.

By connecting the guide cylinder 901 of the sliding frame 90 with the guide column 100, the large contact area and uniform force distribution during sliding allow it to withstand significant impact and vibration loads, resulting in good cutting stability for the entire machine. This solves the problem of high failure rates in previous telescopic mechanisms for cantilever tunneling machines used in rock tunnels, and also addresses the technical issue of existing telescopic mechanisms affecting the stability of the connection between the telescopic device and the main body. This utility model allows the tunneling machine to move the cutting arm forward and backward according to work requirements, eliminating the need for frequent operation of the traveling mechanism for mining and material collection.
