Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of coal mine monorail systems, specifically to a heavy-duty monorail track for coal mines. Background Technology

[0002] Monorail systems are one of the most important auxiliary transportation systems in coal mines, widely used for transporting materials, equipment, and personnel in confined spaces such as roadways and mine shafts. In a monorail auxiliary transportation system, the monorail track is the foundation of the system. Traditional monorail tracks, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, its track itself adopts the following... Figure 3 The I140V type rail with the structure shown uses the existing upper connector 102 and existing lower connector 103 for connecting two adjacent existing straight rails 101, which adopt the structure disclosed in patent document CN101102950A. The existing I140V type rail has many components, resulting in high manufacturing and installation costs, and is relatively troublesome to install and disassemble. More importantly, as the tonnage of coal mining and support equipment increases, the load-bearing capacity of the existing I140V type rail can no longer effectively meet the transportation requirements of coal mining equipment. Rail damage frequently occurs during the transportation of large equipment, seriously affecting transportation efficiency and safety. Patent document CN203006755U discloses a heavy-duty monorail, which improves the structure of the upper connector and suspension assembly. However, its track and lower connector still adopt the corresponding structure of the traditional I140V type track, and cannot achieve true heavy load. Patent document CN113562611A proposes a high-performance heavy-duty track and its matching connectors. Its track adopts the I250 type track and improves the upper connector. Its track includes an upper web, an upper flange, a lower web, and a lower flange arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The monorail system is a one-piece molded component with connecting holes at the front and rear ends of the upper web plate. Flexible connection between the front and rear rails is achieved through the inclined surface at the rail end and the arc-shaped elongated hole. However, this flexible connection design weakens the rigidity at the rail joints. During heavy-load transport, sudden braking of the locomotive can easily cause abnormal stress at this point, leading to damage to the bottom connecting parts of the rail. The arc-shaped elongated hole is designed to allow straight rails to bend vertically, but this structure inevitably results in gaps and height differences at the rail joints, affecting the service life of the rails and the operating efficiency and safety of the monorail locomotive. Importantly, as mentioned above, existing monorail track systems typically consist of straight rails connected by upper and lower connecting parts. This generally results in poor overall system rigidity, inability to effectively handle heavy loads, misalignment at rail joints, and angles affecting the monorail locomotive's passability and stability. Furthermore, the installation of the rails requires welding for the connecting parts, making installation, maintenance, and component replacement cumbersome. Utility Model Content
