Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tunnel boring machines, and in particular to an operating platform for tunnel boring machines. Background Technology
[0002] With the further development of urbanization, the construction of underground utility tunnels has gradually become a top priority in urban development. Tunnel boring machines (TBMs), as crucial machinery in tunnel construction, are constantly being upgraded to meet the needs of urban development. TBMs are equipped with an operating platform to create working space for operators on one side. However, due to the limited tunnel space for small TBMs, and the fact that pipelines on the platform often occupy this space, the operators' working space is very limited, reducing their experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, this utility model is proposed to provide an operating platform for a tunnel boring machine that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems. It can solve the problem that the arrangement of pipelines on the operating platform occupies the operating space, resulting in limited operating space for operators, and thus improve the operating experience of operators.
[0004] Specifically, this utility model provides an operating platform for a tunnel boring machine, characterized in that it includes:
[0005] The control cabinet has a cable inlet on its top.
[0006] The control cabin is located at the rear of the control cabinet and is used to accommodate operators.
[0007] The control panel is located inside the control cabin and is connected to the rear end of the control cabinet.
[0008] Optionally, the control panel includes a display screen and a control console. The display screen is vertically oriented and extends horizontally. The control console has multiple control buttons and is horizontally oriented and fixedly connected to the lower end of the display screen.
[0009] Optionally, the control panel further includes an air inlet located at the rear end of the control cabinet and an air outlet communicating with the air inlet. The air inlet is located on the lower side of the control panel.
[0010] Optionally, the air inlet is located at the front end of the control cabinet, and the air outlet is positioned higher than the air inlet.
[0011] Optionally, the air outlet is provided with a grille covering the air outlet. And / or,
[0012] The air intake is provided with a grille that covers the air intake.
[0013] Optionally, all of the control buttons are located on the upper surface of the console.
[0014] Optionally, the distance between the console and the floor of the control cabin shall not be less than 60cm.
[0015] Optionally, the inlet is located in the left front area or the right front area of the top of the control cabinet.
[0016] Optionally, a maintenance opening is formed on one side of the control cabinet, and a movable door is provided at the maintenance opening to cover the maintenance opening.
[0017] Optionally, the tunnel boring machine is a small tunnel boring machine.
[0018] In the operating console for tunnel boring machines of this utility model, since the cable inlet is located at the top of the control cabinet, the wires enter from the cable inlet at the top of the control cabinet and connect to the electrical equipment inside the control cabinet. Compared with the operating console with the cable entering from the bottom, the operating console of this embodiment allows the cable entry to not occupy the operator's operating space, improves the operator's comfort, and achieves the purpose of improving the operator's operating experience.
[0019] In this utility model, the air duct between the air inlet and outlet of the control console for a tunnel boring machine runs through the control cabinet. A height difference is established between the air inlet and outlet to prevent airflow from entering directly from the outlet, thus increasing the area over which the airflow passes within the control cabinet and improving its internal heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, the temperature of the airflow exiting the control cabinet is higher than its temperature before entering. Since the density of the high-temperature airflow is lower than that of the low-temperature airflow, the high-temperature airflow rises and is discharged from the outlet located on the upper front side of the control cabinet. This upward flow of the high-temperature airflow ensures that the airflow entering from the air inlet located on the lower rear side of the control cabinet is of a lower temperature, further enhancing the cooling effect on the inside of the control cabinet.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic front view of an operating console according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 4 This utility model embodiment provides an operating console for a tunnel boring machine. The operating console of the tunnel boring machine includes a control cabinet 100, a control cabin 200, and a control panel 300.
[0035] The top of the control cabinet 100 is equipped with a cable inlet 150.
[0036] The control cabin 200 is located at the rear of the control cabinet 100 to accommodate operators.
[0037] The control panel 300 is located inside the control cabin 200 and is connected to the rear end of the control cabinet 100.
[0038] Operators need to stay in the tunnel space with the tunnel boring machine for a long time. To improve the comfort and safety of the operators, they usually sit in seat 210 inside the control cabin 200.
[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the inlet port 150 is located at the top of the control cabinet 100. The wires enter from the inlet port 150 at the top of the control cabinet 100 and connect to the electrical equipment inside the control cabinet 100. Compared with the operating table with the wires entering from the bottom opening, the operating table in this embodiment allows the wires to enter without occupying the operator's operating space, improving the operator's comfort and achieving the purpose of improving the operator's operating experience.
[0040] Because the control panel is located on top of the tunnel boring machine trolley and the inlet 150 is located on top of the control cabinet 100, space at the bottom of the tunnel boring machine trolley is also saved.
[0041] The control panel 300 is located at the front of the control cabin 200. With the control panel 300 in front of the operator, the operator does not need to twist their neck left and right to observe the data when centrally controlling the tunnel boring machine through the control panel 300, nor does the operator need to frequently turn around to operate the control panel 300, which further improves the operator's comfort.
[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control panel 300 includes a display screen 310 and a control console 320. The display screen 310 is vertically oriented and extends horizontally. The control console 320 is equipped with multiple control buttons 321 and is horizontally oriented, fixedly connected to the lower end of the display screen 310.
[0043] In this embodiment, all operation commands of the tunnel boring machine can be realized through all the control buttons 321. Compared with the design of concentrating a large number of operation buttons on the display screen 310, this embodiment makes the operation of the tunnel boring machine not completely dependent on the display screen 310, thus improving the safety and convenience of controlling the operation of the tunnel boring machine.
[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the display screen 310 is a host computer.
[0045] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this utility model, the display screen 310 is a touch screen.
[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the control panel also includes an air inlet 110 located at the rear end of the control cabinet 100 and an air outlet 120 communicating with the air inlet 110. The air inlet 110 is located on the lower side of the control panel 320.
[0047] In this embodiment, the air inlet 110 is located at the rear end of the control cabinet 100 and below the control console 320. This reduces the amount of dust entering the control cabinet 100 through the air inlet 110 when the tunnel boring machine is working, making it easier to clean the inside of the control cabinet 100. It also avoids damage to the electrical equipment inside the control cabinet 100 caused by a large amount of dust entering the control cabinet 100, thus improving the service life of the electrical equipment inside the control cabinet 100.
[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, the air inlet 110 is located at the front end of the control cabinet 100, and the air outlet 120 is positioned higher than the air inlet 110.
[0049] In this embodiment, the air duct between the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 runs through the control cabinet 100. A height difference is provided between the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 to prevent the airflow from entering through the air inlet 110 and flowing directly out through the air outlet 120, thereby increasing the area through which the airflow flows in the control cabinet 100 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency inside the control cabinet 100.
[0050] Furthermore, the temperature of the airflow exiting the control cabinet 100 is higher than its temperature before entering the control cabinet 100. Since the density of the high-temperature airflow is less than that of the low-temperature airflow, the high-temperature airflow flows upward, and is thus discharged from the air outlet 120 located on the upper front side of the control cabinet 100. The upward flow of the high-temperature airflow ensures that the airflow entering from the air inlet located on the lower rear side of the control cabinet 100 is of a lower temperature, thereby improving the cooling effect on the inside of the control cabinet 100.
[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, a grille 130 covering the air outlet 120 is provided at the air outlet 120.
[0052] In this embodiment, the grille 130 is used to prevent debris from entering the control cabinet 100 through the air outlet 120. Furthermore, by setting a certain angle or changing the grille gap, the grille 130 can also regulate the airflow direction or speed.
[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a grille 130 covering the air inlet 110 is provided at the air inlet 110.
[0054] In this embodiment, the grille 130 is used to prevent debris from entering the control cabinet 100 through the air inlet 110, thereby protecting the electrical equipment inside the control cabinet 100. The grille 130 of the air inlet 110 may also filter the air to prevent damage to the electrical equipment inside the control cabinet 100 caused by a large amount of dust entering the control cabinet 100, thus improving the service life of the electrical equipment inside the control cabinet 100.
[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple control buttons 321 are located on the upper surface of the control panel 320.
[0056] In this embodiment, the control buttons 321 are all located on the upper surface of the control console 320, in front of the operator. When the operator centrally controls the tunnel boring machine, there is no need to turn around or bend over to operate the control buttons 321, which reduces the difficulty of the operator controlling the tunnel boring machine and improves the operator's comfort.
[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the distance H between the control console 320 and the floor of the control cabin 200 is not less than 60cm.
[0058] In this embodiment, sufficient space is reserved below the console 320 so that the operator can freely place their legs and adjust their sitting posture.
[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, the distance H between the console 320 and the floor of the control cabin 200 is 70cm.
[0060] In this embodiment, the console 320 is 70cm from the floor of the control cabin 200, meaning that the distance between the operator's feet and the console 320 is 70cm. When the operator is sitting in the seat 210 inside the control cabin 200, there is enough space under the console 320 to accommodate the operator's legs. Moreover, the height of the console 320 makes it easy for the operator to control the control buttons 321 on the console 320, further improving the operator's comfort.
[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inlet port 150 is located in the front left or front right area of the top of the control cabinet 100.
[0062] In this embodiment, the inlet port 150 is located at the left front corner or right front corner of the top of the control cabinet 100, so that the incoming line is located on the left front side or right front side inside the control cabinet 100, making the wiring inside the control cabinet 100 neater and more orderly, and also improving the utilization efficiency of the internal space of the control cabinet 100.
[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a maintenance opening is formed on one side of the control cabinet 100, and a movable door 140 is provided at the maintenance opening to cover the maintenance opening.
[0064] In this embodiment, electrical equipment inside the control cabinet 100 can be installed or repaired through the maintenance port. The side-opening door 140 of this invention increases the opening area of the door 140 compared to control cabinets with doors opening from the rear or front, making wiring and maintenance work more convenient for operators.
[0065] In some embodiments of this utility model, the door 140 is rotatably connected to the left side of the control cabinet 100 so that the door 140 can be used to cover the maintenance opening.
[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, an industrial tablet computer is installed at the door 140.
[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, the tunnel boring machine is a small tunnel boring machine.
[0068] In this embodiment, the small tunnel space of the small tunnel boring machine makes the space in the control cabin 200 where the operator is located even smaller. The control panel cable in this embodiment does not occupy the operator's operating space, avoiding further compression of the operator's operating space and improving operator comfort. Furthermore, the control panel 300 is located at the front of the control cabin 200, in front of the operator. When centrally controlling the tunnel boring machine, the operator does not need to turn around to operate the control panel 300, enabling control of the tunnel boring machine even when the operator is in a confined tunnel space.
[0069] In some embodiments of this utility model, the small tunnel boring machine is a 3-meter tunnel boring machine.
[0070] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
