[0002] In underground mining, tunneling, and other tunneling operations, the tunnel boring machine (TBM), as the core rock-breaking and loading equipment, relies heavily on a stable power supply for normal operation. The cables connecting the TBM to the power supply system not only bear the critical task of transmitting electrical energy but also face the severe challenges of complex operating environments. Tunneling, frequent equipment movement, uneven ground, and potential mechanical collision risks all threaten the safety and lifespan of the cables. Cable guide frames, as specialized equipment for supporting and guiding cables, directly affect the safety, continuity, and economy of tunneling operations.
[0003] However, existing foldable and retractable tunneling machine cable carriers have the following disadvantages:
[0004] (1) Fixed towing frames have a fixed volume and lack folding function. When equipment needs to be moved or underground space is limited, the huge towing frames not only occupy a lot of transportation space, but also require a lot of manpower and resources to disassemble and move.
[0005] (2) The installation of traditional towing frames requires specialized tools and complex processes. The components are not standardized and are difficult to disassemble and replace quickly once damaged, which leads to prolonged equipment downtime and affects the continuity of tunneling operations.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides a foldable and retractable cable transfer rack for tunneling machines. Utility Model Content

Then, pull plate 403 is rotated, and the rotating rod 404 is inserted into the first mounting plate 1. Then, the rotating rod 404 is pressed, which pushes the locking rod 407 into the first mounting plate 1. Then, the rotating rod 404 is rotated, and the locking rod 407 is locked to the first mounting plate 1 by the reaction force of the locking spring 406. This makes it convenient for workers to assemble and allows for quick replacement when a bracket is damaged, increasing its practicality.

[0037] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0038] First step: When using it, you can first pull the second mounting plate 3 apart from the first mounting plate 1 in the opposite direction. Then, the slide plate 203 slides on the first insert 201 and stretches the return spring 202. Then, rotate the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 3 to unfold the bracket. Then, release the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 3 and then close them through the return spring 202 to achieve the effect of easy folding and storage.
[0039] The second step: When using the brackets, the two brackets can be initially spliced together using the insert plate 7. Then, pull the pull plate 403, which will cause the second insert rod 401 to compress the fixing spring 402. Then, rotate the pull plate 403 and insert the rotating rod 404 into the first mounting plate 1. Then, press the rotating rod 404 to insert the locking rod 407 into the first mounting plate 1. Then, rotate the rotating rod 404 and use the reaction force of the locking spring 406 to lock the locking rod 407 into the first mounting plate 1. This makes it convenient for workers to assemble the brackets and allows for quick replacement if a bracket is damaged, increasing its practicality.
