[0002] As the main form of subway transportation, the efficiency, technology, and safety of underground tunnel construction are of great importance to everyone.
[0003] Currently, underground tunnel construction generally employs large-scale tunnel boring machines (TBMs) for excavation, while utilizing precast concrete segments for support. This method is fast, efficient, highly mechanized, has minimal environmental impact, and ensures high-quality tunnel construction. As a crucial precast component in subway tunnel engineering, the reliability and efficiency of segment transportation directly affect the safety and progress of tunnel construction. Segment transportation typically utilizes segment lifting equipment, which is used to hoist the segments to designated locations for assembly.
[0004] During the operation of the segment hoisting equipment in the tunnel, due to the relatively narrow working space in the tunnel, the entire running track will have a certain slope, and there will also be a certain turning angle when running horizontally. When using the lifting device to lift the lifting equipment, since the lifting device and the lifting equipment are flexibly connected, during horizontal turns, especially when accelerating, decelerating and climbing, the inertia will cause swaying. Excessive swaying amplitude will cause the segment to interfere with other shield structures, resulting in damage to the segment. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention. Example
[0028] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the hoisting mechanism with a limiting structure of this utility model includes several parts: a hoisting frame 1, a hoisting power assembly 2, and a limiting assembly 3; the hoisting frame 1 serves as a hoisting support component; at least one hoisting power assembly 2 is provided, which is installed on the hoisting frame 1 and serves as the power source for hoisting; the limiting assembly 3 is installed on the hoisting frame 1 and is used to prevent the hoisting frame 1 from colliding with other equipment.
[0029] Reference Figure 2-6 As shown, the limiting component 3 includes a sleeve 31, a first limiting switch 32, a second limiting switch 33, a trigger rod 34, and a spring 35. The sleeve 31 is mounted on the lifting frame 1, and the spring 35 is disposed inside the sleeve 31. One end of the trigger rod 34 extends into the sleeve 31 and connects to the spring 35, while the other end of the trigger rod 34 is located in the sleeve 31 for contact with an obstacle. The first limiting switch 32 and the second limiting switch 33 are both mounted on the sleeve 31, and their signal ends extend into the sleeve 31. The first limiting switch 32 and the second limiting switch 33 are used to sense the position of the trigger rod 34 extending into the sleeve 31. Preferably, there are two lifting power components 2, which are located on opposite sides of the lifting frame 1 and are staggered. The limit assembly 3 consists of a sleeve 31, a first limit switch 32, a second limit switch 33, a trigger rod 34, and a spring 35. The position of the trigger rod 34 is changed by the passive extension and retraction of the spring 35, thereby triggering the first limit switch 32 and the second limit switch 33.
[0030] In the above structure, the sleeve 31 has an internal cavity 311, and the cavity 311 extends to one end of the sleeve 31 along its axial direction to form an opening. A cover plate 36 is connected to the sleeve 31, and the cover plate 36 covers the opening. One end of the spring 35 abuts against the cover plate 36. A self-lubricating bearing 313 is provided at the other end of the sleeve 31 opposite to the cover plate 36, and the trigger rod 34 is slidably connected to the self-lubricating bearing 313. The self-lubricating bearing 313 can reduce friction during the axial movement of the trigger rod 34, preventing the trigger rod 34 from failing due to long-term wear. A first through hole 312 is provided at the other end of the sleeve 31 opposite to the cover plate 36. The first through hole 312 communicates with the cavity 311, and a self-lubricating bearing 313 is provided on the inner wall of the first through hole 312. The trigger rod 34 passes through the self-lubricating bearing 313, and the trigger rod 34 can slide within the self-lubricating bearing 313.
[0031] In the above structure, the trigger rod 34 has a boss 341 at one end inside the cavity 311, and a spring limiting groove 342 on the boss 341. One end of the spring 35 is disposed in the spring limiting groove 342. The spring 35 is disposed between the cover plate 36 and the spring limiting groove 342. When the trigger rod 34 encounters an obstacle, it will be pushed into the cavity 311. When the force between the trigger rod 34 and the obstacle is greater than the elastic force of the spring 35, the trigger rod 34 is pressed back into the cavity 311. After the trigger rod 34 is no longer in contact with the obstacle, under the action of the elastic force of the spring 35, the trigger rod 34 is pushed out of the cavity 311 and returns to its original position. The first limit switch 32 and the second limit switch 33 can trigger different alarm information by sensing the depth to which the trigger rod 34 is pressed back into the cavity 311, so as to ensure the safety of the hoisting operation.
[0032] In addition, the outer wall of the sleeve 31 is provided with a mounting plate 37, which is locked to the lifting frame 1 by fasteners.
[0033] The main function of the limiting component 3 is to prevent the segments from colliding with the upper lifting device during the lifting process.
[0034] The principle of the limit component 3 is as follows: it includes two limit switches, a first limit switch 32 and a second limit switch 33. The first limit switch 32 acts as a deceleration sensor, and the second limit switch 33 acts as a stop sensor. Figure 4In the initial state shown, a certain safe distance is maintained between the upper part of the trigger rod 34 and the trigger position of the first limit switch 32. When the upper part of the trigger rod 34 reaches the first trigger position, the first limit switch 32 is triggered, and the limit component 3 enters the deceleration trigger state. At this time, the hoisting power component 2 begins to decelerate. During the process from the first trigger position to the second trigger position, the hoisting power component 2 will continue to lift the tunnel segment at a lower speed. When the trigger rod 34 rises further to the second trigger position, the second limit switch 33 is triggered, the limit component 3 enters the stop trigger state, the hoisting power component 2 is de-energized and stops operating, thereby stopping the tunnel segment from rising and preventing collision with the superstructure. Example
[0035] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the lifting power assembly 2 includes a lifting motor 21, a sprocket shaft 22, a chain 23, a lifting sprocket 24, a chain fixing block 25, and a chain box 26. The lifting motor 21 is mounted on the lifting frame 1. One end of the sprocket shaft 22 is connected to the rotating shaft of the lifting motor 21. The sprocket shaft 22, lifting sprocket 24, chain fixing block 25, and chain box 26 are all disposed on the lifting frame 1. One end of the chain 23 is placed inside the chain box 26, and the other end of the chain 23 is disposed on the chain fixing block 25. The chain 23 is wound around the lifting sprocket 24 and the sprocket shaft 22, and is used for hoisting. The lifting frame 1 is provided with a guide sprocket 27, and the chain 23 is wound around the guide sprocket 27. Preferably, there are two lifting sprockets 24 and one guide sprocket 27, and the chain 23 is wound around the sprocket shaft 22, the guide sprocket 27, and the lifting sprocket 24. A first drooping section of the chain is provided between the chain fixing block 25 and the adjacent lifting sprocket 24. The two lifting sprockets 24 are adjacent to each other, and a second drooping section of the chain is provided between the adjacent lifting sprockets 24. The lowest ends of the first and second drooping sections of the chain are used to install the lifting wheel.
[0036] One end of the chain 23 is connected to the chain fixing block 25, and the other end of the chain 23 is placed inside the chain box 26. After passing the sprocket shaft 22, the chain 23 winds around the bottom of the guide sprocket 27 to one of the lifting sprockets 24; after passing the lifting sprocket 24, a second drooping section of the chain is released, which winds around the sprocket of the lifting device, and then winds around to the second lifting sprocket 24; then the first drooping section of the chain is released, which winds around the sprocket shaft on the same side of the lifting device, and then the end of the chain 23 is connected to the chain fixing block 25. The lifting motor 21 is connected to the sprocket shaft 22, and the load is borne by the sprocket shaft 22. The lifting sprocket 24 mainly serves to raise and lower the chain 23. The connecting shaft of the chain fixing block 25 is a sensor shaft, through which the low-headroom chain segment crane can monitor the lifting weight in real time and avoid overloading.
[0037] In the above structure, the lifting frame 1 is provided with a bearing seat 11, and the sprocket shaft 22, guide sprocket 27, and lifting sprocket 24 are all mounted on the bearing seat 11. The bearing seat 11 is provided with a first chain guard 12 and a second chain guard 13. The first chain guard 12 is used to cover the sprocket shaft 22, and the second chain guard 13 is used to cover the lifting sprocket 24. The first chain guard 12 and the second chain guard 13 can prevent chain jumping and also ensure smooth chain winding and unwinding, as well as accurate meshing conditions between the chain and the sprocket.
[0038] In the above structure, a crash barrier 14 is installed on the lifting frame 1. The crash barrier 14 is a limiting device to prevent the lifting equipment from colliding with the lifting mechanism during the lifting process.
[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
