Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tunneling equipment, and relates to a shovel structure and a tunneling machine containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cantilever tunneling machines are widely used in coal mine roadways and tunnel excavation, characterized by their small size and flexible excavation capabilities. The cantilever tunneling machine's shovel and scraper conveyor form its material transport channel.

[0003] 1) During the tunneling process, cantilever roadheaders, while freely excavating, also face the problem of muck removal. In order to smoothly transfer the material cut by the cutting drum through the shovel, the machine needs to be moved left and right to collect all the cut material into the shovel. The material is then gathered into the scraper conveyor by the rotation of the star wheel to complete the muck removal. The left and right movement of the machine for muck removal is relatively convenient in large-sized tunnels, but if the excavated tunnel is small, the left and right movement of the machine is inconvenient. The equipment is prone to scraping the tunnel, damaging the floor, crushing cables, and even causing injury to on-site construction personnel. This also poses a challenge to the on-site equipment operators.

[0004] 2) During the material gathering process, the star wheel will rub against the shovel plate. The surfaces of the shovel plate and the star wheel that come into contact with each other are prone to wear, and correspondingly, the contact surface of the star wheel is also prone to wear. Reducing the wear of these contact surfaces is crucial for extending the service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a shovel structure with adjustable material gathering width and a tunneling machine containing the shovel, with wear-resistant plates added to the easily worn parts of the shovel for protection.

[0006] This utility model provides a shovel structure, including a shovel body and a first star wheel assembly, a second star wheel assembly, a first extension door panel and a second extension door panel disposed on the shovel body;

[0007] The first star wheel assembly and the second star wheel assembly are spaced apart on both sides of the center of the shovel plate body, and are used to collect the excavated soil generated by the tunneling machine during the tunneling process;

[0008] The second extension door panel and the first extension door panel are symmetrically arranged along the center of the shovel plate body, and the second extension door panel and the first extension door panel are respectively on the side of the second star wheel assembly or the first star wheel assembly away from the center of the shovel plate body, for gathering the slag and soil to the first star wheel assembly and the second star wheel assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, a slag chute and a tongue plate disposed within the slag chute are provided between the second extension door panel and the first extension door panel. The tongue plate and the slag chute cooperate to form a channel for transporting slag.

[0010] Furthermore, a composite wear-resistant plate can be detachably installed on the shovel plate body, and the composite wear-resistant plate is fixed to the shovel plate body by bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, the first and second extended door panels have the same structure, both including a door panel body and a first pin and a telescopic cylinder disposed on the door panel body.

[0012] One end of the main body of the door panel is hinged to the shovel plate body via a first pin.

[0013] One end of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the shovel plate body, and the other end of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the end of the door panel body away from the first pin shaft, which is used to drive the door panel body to rotate relative to the shovel plate body to achieve the movement of expansion or contraction.

[0014] Furthermore, the shovel plate body is also provided with two sets of guide components for guiding the second extension door panel and the first extension door panel respectively;

[0015] The single guide assembly includes a guide rail plate and a limiting chain. The guide rail plate is installed on the shovel plate body and is used to limit and guide the displacement direction of the second expansion door panel. One end of the limiting chain is fixed to the shovel plate body, and the other end of the limiting chain is fixed to the second expansion door panel or the first expansion door panel, and is used to limit the range of the second expansion door panel or the first expansion door panel during the expansion process.

[0016] Furthermore, the second star wheel assembly and the first star wheel assembly have the same structure, both including a driving component and a star wheel. The driving component is fixedly installed on the shovel plate body, and the star wheel is fixedly installed on the driving end of the driving component. Under the drive of the driving component, the star wheel collects the slag generated by the tunneling machine during the tunneling process.

[0017] Furthermore, wear-resistant protective sleeves are bolted to the tips of the star wheels.

[0018] As a further embodiment of this utility model, this utility model also provides a tunneling machine, including a lifting cylinder, a tunneling machine chassis, and a shovel structure as described above.

[0019] One end of the lifting cylinder is hinged to the shovel plate structure via a second pin, and the other end of the lifting cylinder is hinged to the tunneling machine chassis via a second pin.

[0020] The shovel structure can move up and down by being pulled by a lifting cylinder.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] During the material gathering process, the shovel structure is in a ground-hugging state; however, during the machine's forward movement, the shovel structure needs to be lifted. If material is gathered and discharged by moving the machine back and forth, the shovel needs to be lifted frequently, which is inconvenient. Therefore, this invention addresses this issue by designing the shovel as an expandable structure. By unfolding the shovel structure and bringing it close to the tunnel, material across the entire tunnel width is directly collected into the shovel structure as the tunneling machine moves forward, thus achieving rapid muck discharge.

[0023] In addition to the objectives, features, and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features, and advantages. The present utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the figures. Attached Figure Description
