Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of arch frame erection equipment, specifically, it relates to a gripper mechanism for a mining arch frame equipment. Background Technology

[0002] After the excavation of underground mine tunnels, steel arch frames or steel pipe beam concrete supports are required to strengthen the tunnels and control the release of surrounding rock stress and deformation. Due to the varying cross-sectional sizes of underground mine tunnels and limited space for equipment deployment, the current tunnel arch erection work is entirely done manually on scaffolds. Adjusting the posture of the steel arch frames during installation is extremely inconvenient and inefficient. Furthermore, the steel arch frames are prone to tilting during adjustments, posing a significant safety hazard. Moreover, the scaffolds need to be moved after each construction phase and during subsequent construction cycles. Different scaffolds of different sizes need to be erected for different tunnels, requiring a large number of workers. The workers endure high labor intensity and poor working conditions. However, due to the complex geological conditions, deep excavations, harsh working environment, and high risks in underground mines, the number of workers engaged in this work is gradually decreasing. To address these problems, this utility model provides a gripping mechanism for a mining arch frame device. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a gripper mechanism for a mining arch frame equipment, including a gripper body and a swing cylinder. The gripper body includes a frame, two gripping cylinders, and four grippers. The grippers are arranged in pairs at the front and rear of the frame, and each gripper is perpendicular to the frame. The middle part of the gripper is hinged to the front and rear of the frame, respectively. The gripping cylinders are placed parallel to each other on the lower side of the frame, with the fixed end of the gripping cylinder close to the gripper at the rear of the frame and the telescopic end of the gripping cylinder close to the gripper at the front of the frame. The lower part of the gripper is hinged to the telescopic end or fixed end of the corresponding gripping cylinder.

[0004] The gripper body has a lifting platform at the rear, and extension arms on both the left and right sides of the frame. The left extension arm has a shaft hole 1. The lifting platform has a rotating shaft 1 at the corresponding position of the shaft hole 1. The rotating shaft 1 passes through the shaft hole 1 and is rotatably connected to the shaft hole 1. The telescopic end of the swing cylinder is hinged to the right extension arm. The fixed end of the swing cylinder has a shaft hole 2. The lifting platform has a rotating shaft 2 at the corresponding position of the shaft hole 2. The rotating shaft 2 passes through the shaft hole 2 and is rotatably connected to the shaft hole 2. When the swing cylinder telescopically extends or retracts, the gripper body can rotate around the rotating shaft 1.

[0005] Furthermore, the upper part of the gripper is equipped with opposing hooks. The space enclosed by the inner side of the gripper and the upper side of the frame is used to place the arch frame. By controlling the extension and retraction of the gripping cylinder, the opening and closing of the gripper can be controlled to realize the gripping and placement of the arch frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper side of the frame is provided with a groove that conforms to the cross-sectional shape of the arch frame, and the inner side of the groove is provided with a buffer plate to make the arch frame firmly fixed in the gripper mechanism, and at the same time to prevent the gripper from squeezing the arch frame and causing deformation of the arch frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the buffer pad consists of several layers of lining plates, which can be selected as elastic rubber pads. The thickness, quantity, or size of the lining plates can be adjusted or replaced to make the buffer pad suitable for different types of steel arch frames.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper side of the extension arm is provided with a U-shaped bracket that matches the cross-sectional shape of the arch frame.

[0009] This utility model also includes other devices or components that enable the gripper mechanism of the mining arch frame equipment to function normally, all of which are conventional technical means in the field. Furthermore, the lifting platform and extension arm not specified in this utility model all employ conventional technical means in the field.

[0010] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When this device is in use, the extension and retraction ends of the gripping cylinder are controlled to retract, the grippers are moved away from each other, and the arch frame is placed stably on the frame. The extension and retraction ends of the gripping cylinder are controlled to extend, the grippers are moved closer to each other, and the arch frame is fixed and clamped. The extension and retraction of the swing cylinder can control the gripper body to rotate to a certain angle, and then the arch frame is moved with the lifting platform to the position to be installed for installation.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that, to solve the problem of manual gripping of erected frames, this device provides a gripping mechanism for mining arch frame equipment, solving problems such as unstable gripping, weak gripping leading to movement or tilting, and difficulty in docking during steel arch frame docking. The gripping mechanism for mining arch frame equipment provided by this utility model has two pairs of mechanical grippers, ensuring a secure grip. It avoids the inconvenience, tilting, and high risk associated with manual erection of steel arch frames during docking operations, while also reducing the number of workers required and saving labor costs. Furthermore, this utility model is equipped with a swing cylinder, which allows for fine-tuning of the side steel arch frame's posture during docking with the main steel arch frame, resulting in faster docking speeds.
