Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is specifically a steering and traveling mechanism for a tunnel trolley, relating to the field of tunnel construction equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] A tunnel trolley is a specialized large-scale mechanical device used in tunnel construction. Based on its function, it can be categorized into rock drilling trolleys, arch erecting trolleys, wet spraying trolleys, fabric lining trolleys, lining trolleys, and curing trolleys. For ease of movement, existing tunnel trolleys are equipped with wheels, tracks, or other walking mechanisms. However, most tunnel trolleys can only travel in a straight line and cannot turn. Some tunnels are curved, requiring hydraulic outriggers to lift the tunnel trolley, and then adjusting its direction using a translation device. Clearly, this steering method is very inconvenient, necessitating the design of a walking mechanism capable of flexible steering. Utility Model Content

[0004] Further improvement of the technical solution: The drive device consists of a hydraulic motor and a reduction gear, and the reduction gear is connected to the wheel.

[0005] Further improvement of the technical solution: A turntable is provided at the lower end of the fixed base, and a ring and pressure plate for hinged turntable are provided at the upper end of the rotating base.

[0006] Further improve the technical solution: the rotating seat rotates around the vertical line by an angle of ±17°.

[0007] Further improvement of the technical solution: The vehicle body has four pillars arranged in a matrix.

[0008] Further improvements to the technical solution: A steering and traveling mechanism is installed at the bottom of the first two columns, and a fixed wheel traveling mechanism is installed at the bottom of the last two columns.

[0009] Further improvements to the technical solution: Steering and walking mechanisms are installed at the bottom of all four columns.

[0010] Further improve the technical solution: Let e ​​be the distance by which the center of the wheel deviates from the vertical line, then e ≤ 0.5B, where B is the width of the wheel.

[0011] After implementing the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are: The steering and walking mechanism of this utility model can drive the tunnel trolley to move and turn, thus meeting the needs of the tunnel trolley in tunnel construction.

[0012] The wheels of this steering and traveling mechanism can turn on the spot, which not only increases the steering flexibility of the tunnel trolley, but also reduces wheel wear. Attached Figure Description

[0021] A steering and traveling mechanism for a tunnel trolley, relating to the field of tunnel construction equipment technology, is mainly used to solve the problem that existing tunnel trolleys cannot steer. The composition and working principle of this steering and traveling mechanism are described in detail below.

[0022] See attached document Figure 1-3 The tunnel trolley includes a body welded from profiles, with four columns 2 arranged in a matrix. The steering and traveling mechanism 1 includes a fixed base 11, a rotating base 12, and a steering cylinder 13. The fixed base 11 is fixed to the bottom of the columns 2, and the rotating base 12 is hinged to the lower end of the fixed base 11. Specifically, a turntable 111 is provided at the lower end of the fixed base 11, and a ring 122 and a pair of semi-annular pressure plates 121 are provided at the upper end of the rotating base 12. During installation, the turntable 111 is placed inside the ring 122, and the up-and-down movement of the turntable 111 is restricted by bolts and the pair of semi-annular pressure plates 121. Thus, the rotating base 12 can only rotate around the axis of the turntable 111, and cannot move up and down. Since the axis of the turntable 111 is a vertical line, it can also be said that the rotating base 12 rotates around a vertical line.

[0023] See attached document Figure 4 A hinge bracket 112 is provided on the fixed seat 11, and a hinge shaft 123 is provided on the rotating seat 12. The two ends of the steering cylinder 13 are respectively hinged between the hinge bracket 112 and the hinge shaft 123. The function of the steering cylinder 13 is to push the rotating seat 12 to rotate left and right around the fixed seat 11 and the wheel 17. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the rotating seat 12 around the vertical line is ±17°.

[0024] A wheel 17, an axle 18, and a drive device are mounted on the rotating base 12. The drive device is connected to the wheel 17 and drives the wheel 17 to rotate. In this embodiment, the drive device consists of a hydraulic motor 14 and a reduction gear. The reduction gear consists of a driving gear 15 with fewer teeth and a driven gear 16 with more teeth. The driving gear 15 is mounted on the output shaft of the hydraulic motor 14, and the driven gear 16 is mounted on the end face of the wheel 17. It is worth noting that the drive device can also consist of a motor and a reducer.

[0025] From the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As can be seen, wheel 17 is mounted on axle 18. The axis of rotation of wheel 17 (the axis of axle 18) intersects the axis of turntable 111 (vertical line). The center of wheel 17 deviates from the vertical line by a distance e, where e ≤ 0.5B, and B is the width of wheel 17. The intersection of the axis of rotation of wheel 17 (the axis of axle 18) with the axis of turntable 111 (vertical line) allows the weight of the tunnel trolley to be centrally loaded onto the rotating seat 12 and wheel 17 via column 2, ensuring that the rotation of the rotating seat 12 is unaffected by eccentric torque and enabling wheel 17 to turn in place. The deviation of the center of wheel 17 from the vertical line serves two purposes: firstly, it reduces wear on wheel 17; secondly, it improves the turning flexibility of wheel 17.

[0026] See attached document Figure 5-6 There are two ways to achieve steering of the tunnel trolley. One way is to install a steering and traveling mechanism 1 at the bottom of the two front columns 2 of the trolley body 3, and a fixed wheel traveling mechanism 4 at the bottom of the two rear columns 2 of the trolley body 3. The other way is to install a steering and traveling mechanism 1 at the bottom of all four columns 2, which provides better steering flexibility.

[0027] It is worth noting that the content not described in detail in the above embodiments is prior art. It is also worth noting that any additions, subtractions, substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art based on the structure and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
