Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunneling machine technology, specifically a protective structure for a cantilever tunneling machine used for tunnel excavation. Background Technology

[0002] In tunnel construction, cantilever tunneling machines have become important equipment for urban subway and mountain tunnel construction due to their advantages such as precise cutting and low vibration.

[0003] Currently, during operation, tunnel boring machines typically use two sets of rotating sweeping discs to sweep the soil and gravel generated during excavation into the bucket, which then falls onto the conveyor belt for transport. However, when the sweeping discs sweep the soil and gravel into the bucket and onto the conveyor belt, the gravel and soil concentrate in the middle area of ​​the conveyor belt, causing the middle area to bulge. This bulge then scrapes against the chassis of the tunnel boring machine during subsequent transport, and the reaction force causes the conveyor belt to deform, affecting the transport of gravel and soil. Therefore, a protective structure for tunnel boring machines used in tunnel excavation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a protective structure for a cantilever tunnel boring machine, which can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a protective structure for a cantilever tunnel boring machine, comprising a tunnel boring machine body, a connecting frame fixedly mounted on the tunnel boring machine body, a bucket fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame away from the tunnel boring machine body, a sweeping disc rotatably connected to the bucket, a conveying mechanism provided on the lower side of the connecting frame, and a protective component provided on the conveying mechanism, the protective component comprising:

[0006] The protective plate is fixedly installed on the connecting frame;

[0007] The flat plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the protective plate, and the flat plate is fixed to the straight rod.

[0008] Preferably, multiple sets of the stroking plates are provided, and the multiple sets of stroking plates are arranged in an equidistant array on the protective plate, and the end of the straight rod away from the stroking plate is L-shaped.

[0009] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting frame, a motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame, an elliptical wheel is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the elliptical wheel abuts against the straight rod.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the straight rod, and the connecting block is elastically connected to the outer wall of the connecting frame through an elastic telescopic rod.

[0011] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a fixed frame, a transmission roller rotatably connected to the inner surface of the fixed frame, a second motor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame, the second motor being fixedly connected to the transmission roller, a conveyor belt being drivenly connected to the transmission roller, and a partition plate being fixedly connected to the conveyor belt.

[0014] This utility model provides a protective structure for a cantilever tunnel boring machine. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) The protective structure of this tunnel boring machine utilizes protective components. A motor drives an elliptical wheel to rotate, which in turn drives a straight rod to reciprocate. This causes the smoothing plate to move left and right and conform to the surface of the conveyor belt, spreading the concentrated gravel and soil in the center to both sides. Combined with the partition plates on the conveyor belt, this forms a regular material pile, preventing material from protruding and scraping against the machine's chassis. This dynamic smoothing design effectively eliminates deformation of the conveyor belt caused by localized compression, extends the conveyor belt's service life, and reduces equipment failures caused by scraping.

[0016] (2) The protective structure of the tunnel excavation cantilever tunneling machine is arranged with multiple sets of flat plates at equal intervals, which can cover conveyor belts of different widths and adapt to the paving requirements of materials of different particle sizes. While smoothing the materials, the structure avoids secondary damage to the conveyor belt and ensures the stability and continuity of the crushed stone and soil conveying process.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model proposes a protective structure for a cantilever tunnel boring machine, including a tunnel boring machine body 1, a connecting frame 2 fixedly installed on the tunnel boring machine body 1, a bucket 3 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame 2 away from the tunnel boring machine body 1, a sweeping disc 4 rotatably connected to the bucket 3, a conveying mechanism 5 provided on the lower side of the connecting frame 2, a protective component 6 provided on the conveying mechanism 5, and the sweeping disc 4 is driven by a driving component, such as an existing drive motor, etc. Through the rotation of the sweeping disc 4, gravel and soil can be swept onto the bucket 3.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, in order to transport the crushed stone and soil, the conveying mechanism 5 specifically includes a fixed frame 51. A transmission roller is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the fixed frame 51. A second motor 52 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame 51. The second motor 52 is fixedly connected to the transmission roller. A conveyor belt 53 is driven to the transmission roller. A partition plate 54 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 53. The fixed frame 51 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting frame 2. The output shaft of the second motor 52 rotates, driving the transmission roller to rotate, and then the conveyor belt 53 moves. After the sweeping disc 4 sweeps the crushed stone and soil onto the bucket 3, the crushed stone and soil fall onto the conveyor belt 53, and then the crushed stone and soil are transported away.

[0028] Furthermore, the protective component 6 includes a protective plate 61 and a flat plate 62. The protective plate 61 is fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 2, and the flat plate 62 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the protective plate 61. The flat plate 62 is fixed to the straight rod 63. Multiple sets of flat plates 62 are arranged in an equidistant array on the protective plate 61. The end of the straight rod 63 away from the flat plate 62 is L-shaped. A support frame 66 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting frame 2. A motor 65 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 66. An elliptical wheel 64 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 65, and the elliptical wheel 64 abuts against the straight rod 63. A connecting block 67 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the straight rod 63. The connecting block 67 is elastically connected to the outer wall of the connecting frame 2 through an elastic telescopic rod 68. The motor 65 drives the elliptical wheel 64 to rotate, which drives the straight rod 63 to reciprocate, causing the smoothing plate 62 to move left and right and fit against the surface of the conveyor belt 53. This spreads the crushed stone and soil concentrated in the middle to both sides. With the help of the partition plate 54 on the conveyor belt 53, a regular material pile can be formed, preventing the material from bulging and scraping the tunneling machine chassis. This dynamic smoothing design can effectively eliminate the deformation of the conveyor belt 53 caused by local compression, extend the service life of the conveyor belt 53, and reduce equipment failures caused by scraping.

[0029] Furthermore, a discharge port 31 is provided on the lower side of the bucket 3. By using the discharge port 31, excess material can be discharged, and excessive amounts of crushed soil and gravel can be transported.

[0030] It should be noted that the above electrical components are all existing technology products.

The components are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. No specific restrictions are made here.

[0031] In operation, the sweeping disc 4 first sweeps the gravel and soil onto the bucket 3. Then, the second motor 52 is started, and its output shaft rotates, driving the transmission roller to rotate, which in turn moves the conveyor belt 53. After the sweeping disc 4 sweeps the gravel and soil onto the bucket 3, the gravel and soil fall onto the conveyor belt 53 and are then transported away. During this process, the first motor 65 drives the elliptical wheel 64 to rotate, which in turn drives the straight rod 63 to reciprocate, causing the flat plate 62 to move left and right and fit against the surface of the conveyor belt 53. This flattens the gravel and soil concentrated in the middle to both sides. With the help of the partition plate 54 on the conveyor belt 53, a regular pile of material can be formed, preventing the material from protruding and scraping the tunneling machine chassis.
