Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transport trolley technology, specifically a transport trolley for use inside an arc-shaped pipe. Background Technology

[0002] In municipal engineering, water conservancy and hydropower, oil and gas transportation, and other fields, the construction, inspection, and maintenance of large curved pipelines (such as tunnels, culverts, and oil pipelines) often require the transportation of equipment, materials, or personnel to specific locations inside the pipeline. In such applications, transport trolleys capable of moving inside the pipeline become an important auxiliary device.

[0003] Currently, the main technical solutions for transport trolleys used inside pipelines are as follows: Fixed-wheel trolleys: The traveling wheels and their support structure of this type of trolley are fixed, and the wheel hub profile is designed to match the inner wall of a pipe with a specific diameter. However, this structure has extremely poor adaptability and cannot be used for pipes of different diameters. Once the pipe diameter changes, the entire trolley becomes unusable or moves extremely unevenly, posing a risk of tipping over, and has very low versatility.

[0004] Rigid adjustable wheeled trolleys: Some improved trolleys allow manual adjustment of the wheel arm opening angle using simple threaded rods or other mechanisms to accommodate limited pipe diameter variations. However, this adjustment method is cumbersome, has low positioning accuracy and reliability, and when moving within curved pipes, the wheels may still only have line or point contact with the pipe wall, which can easily lead to slippage and cause scratches or pressure damage to the anti-corrosion layer or lining of the pipe wall due to stress concentration.

[0005] Specialized tracked trolleys: Some large equipment uses tracked walking mechanisms to increase contact area and traction, but their track wheels are usually horizontally fixed, mainly suitable for flat ground. When entering curved pipes, the horizontal tracks cannot fit well against the inner wall of the curve, resulting in the same problems of small contact area, poor stability, and easy damage to the pipe wall. In addition, tracked trolleys designed specifically for pipe interiors are often complex in structure and large in size, making it difficult to move them out of the pipe and move them on ordinary ground, thus limiting their flexibility and application scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a transport trolley for use inside an arc-shaped pipe, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A transport trolley for an arc-shaped pipe includes a trolley chassis frame and two tracked wheels. The two tracked wheels are located on both sides of the bottom of the trolley chassis frame. A tilting arm is movably hinged at each of the four corners of the bottom of the trolley chassis frame. A roller is installed at the lower outer end of the tilting arm, and the roller is rotatably connected to the corresponding tracked wheel. A motor is provided at one end of the inner side of each tracked wheel to drive the tracked wheel to rotate. The motor is fixedly installed on the corresponding tilting arm. A pushing mechanism is provided at the bottom of the trolley chassis frame to adjust the tilting angle of the tilting arm.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the jacking mechanism includes a suspension column and two hydraulic cylinders. The suspension column is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the trolley chassis frame, and the two hydraulic cylinders are respectively movably hinged to both sides of the suspension column. The hydraulic cylinders are used to push the tilting arm at the corresponding side position.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a tie beam is fixedly installed between two tilting arms on both sides of the bottom of the trolley chassis frame, and the piston shaft of the hydraulic cylinder is movably hinged to the corresponding tie beam.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, baffles are fixedly installed at both ends of the upper part of the trolley chassis frame.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a battery pack is fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the trolley chassis frame.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the upper end of the tilting arm is provided with an opening, and a suspension frame is installed in the opening by means of a pin hinge. The suspension frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the trolley chassis frame by bolts.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer contact surface of the track wheel is made of rubber.

[0014] This utility model features two tracked wheels at the bottom of the trolley chassis frame. The tilt angle of the two tracked wheels can be adjusted by a jacking mechanism. The two tracked wheels can be tilted and attached to both sides of the inner wall of the arc pipe. This structure allows the two tracked wheels to adapt to arc pipes of different diameters, ensuring the stability of the movement process and reducing damage to the pipe. The motor can drive the tracked wheels to rotate, enabling the trolley to move inside the arc pipe. When the transport is completed and the trolley needs to be removed, the two track wheels can be leveled by the jacking mechanism so that the track wheels can move smoothly on the ground without affecting the use of the trolley outside the pipeline.

Specifically, the two tracked wheels 2 are driven by two separate motors. The motor 6 provides the initial power, and its output shaft is connected to a reducer. The reducer is fixedly connected to the drive wheel of the tracked wheel through a transmission shaft, thereby driving the tracked wheel 2 to rotate. A pushing mechanism is provided at the bottom of the trolley chassis frame 1. The pushing mechanism is used to adjust the tilting angle of the tilting arm 4.

[0019] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the jacking mechanism includes a suspension column 5 and two hydraulic cylinders 7. The suspension column 5 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the trolley chassis frame 1. The two hydraulic cylinders 7 are respectively movably hinged to both sides of the suspension column 5. The hydraulic cylinders 7 are used to push the tilting arm 4 at the corresponding side position.

[0024] In this embodiment, the outer contact surface of the track wheel 2 is made of rubber, which increases the friction with the pipeline and reduces the damage to the pipeline when the track wheel 2 moves.

[0025] The specific operating steps are as follows: The two baffles 12 on the upper part of the trolley chassis frame 1 can be used to place construction tools or materials. According to the diameter of the arc pipe, the tilt angle of the two track wheels 2 is adjusted by the jacking mechanism so that the two track wheels 2 can be tilted and attached to both sides of the inner wall of the arc pipe. Then the motor 6 can drive the track wheels 2 to rotate, so that the trolley can move inside the arc pipe. When the transport is finished and the vehicle needs to be removed, the two track wheels 2 can be leveled by the jacking mechanism so that the track wheels 2 can move smoothly on the ground.
