[0033] The specification can use phrases such as "in one embodiment", "in another embodiment", "in yet another embodiment", or "in other embodiments", which can refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0034] The first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a walking device, which is especially suitable for the working scene of the coal mine underground roadway and used for the autonomous movement of the self-moving plunger pump, and the working of the self-moving plunger pump in the predetermined position is realized through the movement of the walking device. As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the walking device comprises a working platform 10 and a walking assembly arranged below the working platform 10; a power driving assembly, a plunger pump assembly 20 and a control assembly 30 are arranged on the working platform 10, wherein the plunger pump assembly 20 and the control assembly 30 herein can be fixed on the working platform 10 in the bolt fastening manner, for example.

[0036] In addition, the power driving assembly further comprises a filter 8 and a hydraulic oil tank 9. The filter 8 herein is used for filtering the hydraulic oil of the hydraulic system in the self-moving plunger pump, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil, thereby preventing the damage of each hydraulic device due to the pollution of the hydraulic oil and ensuring the normal working of the hydraulic system; the hydraulic oil tank 9 is used for storing the hydraulic oil of the entire hydraulic system, and since it has a large surface area, it can exchange heat with the outside world when the hydraulic oil works, so as to prevent the damage of the hydraulic system due to the temperature rise of the hydraulic oil.

[0037] Further, in the embodiment, the walking assemblies are two, which are arranged on the two sides below the working platform 10, and the walking assemblies are arranged along the length direction of the working platform 10. Each walking assembly comprises a hydraulic actuator 4, a speed changing device and a walking unit, and the hydraulic actuator 4 drives the walking unit to move through the speed changing device. The hydraulic actuator 4 can be a hydraulic motor, which is an executing element of the walking device and can convert the liquid pressure energy into mechanical energy (such as torque and rotating speed) of the output shaft, and the hydraulic motor is used to drive the speed changing device to rotate, and the speed changing device can be a speed reducer, which drives the walking unit to move, so that the self-moving piston pump can move autonomously in the underground tunnel.

[0038] Preferably, the speed changing device has a brake, by which the self-moving piston pump can brake in the tunnel with slope, so as to ensure safe production by avoiding accidents such as vehicle sliding.

[0039] In an embodiment, the walking unit comprises a track 6 and a driving wheel 7, the driving wheel 7 is connected with the speed changing device, and the track 6 is arranged on the driving wheel 7. The driving wheel 7 is provided with gear teeth, the torque output by the hydraulic actuator 4 is reduced by the speed changing device to drive the driving wheel 7 to rotate, the gear teeth on the driving wheel 7 are engaged with the chain on the track 6 to drive the track 7 to rotate through the driving wheel 6, and finally the walking of the walking unit is realized.

[0040] Specifically, the hydraulic power device 1 driven by the driving device 3 is a power unit for realizing the self-movement of the self-moving piston pump, and the kinetic energy of the driving device 3 is converted into the pressure energy or potential energy of the hydraulic oil by the hydraulic power device 1, which can be used to drive the hydraulic actuator 4 to rotate, and the hydraulic actuator 4 drives the driving wheel 7 to rotate, so that the self-movement of the self-moving piston pump can be realized by the walking of the track 6 driven by the driving wheel 7.

[0041] In another embodiment, the walking unit is a steel wheel, which is connected with the speed changing device and can be driven by the hydraulic actuator 4 to rotate, so as to realize the self-movement of the self-moving piston pump.

[0042] Further, the reversing device 2 in the power driving assembly is used to control the flow direction of the hydraulic oil, which can be controlled manually. The reversing device 2 has a valve core, and the rotation direction of the hydraulic actuator 4 is changed by adjusting the working direction of the valve core to switch the oil path direction of the hydraulic oil through the reversing device 2, so as to complete the forward or backward movement of the self-moving plunger pump.

[0043] Further, the reversing device 2 can be switched to a remote control mode, in which the operator can remotely control the working direction of the valve core in the reversing device 2 to control the rotation direction of the hydraulic actuator 4, so as to control the moving direction of the self-moving plunger pump through remote control, which can better ensure the safety of the operator.

[0044] The power driving assembly, the plunger pump assembly 20 and the control assembly 30 are placed on the working platform 10 to realize movement as a device train in the working scene of the coal mine roadway, and the device train is used to realize movement in the roadway of the fully-mechanized coal mining face, which has the advantages of fast turnover and improved production efficiency.

[0046] When the self-moving plunger pump needs to be used, the self-moving plunger pump can be moved to a predetermined working site by the walking device and arranged in a train according to the needs. In addition, when the self-moving plunger pump needs to change the working face or move the position, the self-moving plunger pump can be moved to a new working site for work by the walking device.

[0047] The working process of the self-moving plunger pump during self-moving is as follows: taking the walking unit including the track 6 and the driving wheel 7 as an example, first, the combination switch 5 is closed, the driving device 3 is controlled to rotate, the hydraulic power device 1 starts to work, the pressure oil output by the hydraulic power device 1 is filtered through the filter 8, then enters the reversing device 2, and the oil path direction of the hydraulic oil is controlled through the reversing device 2, so as to control the rotation direction of the hydraulic actuator 4, and then the driving wheel 7 is controlled to rotate forward or reverse, and finally the self-moving plunger pump is controlled to move forward or backward to realize self-moving.

[0048] In addition, when the two hydraulic actuators 4 of the two walking assemblies rotate in the same direction at the same time, the two caterpillar belts 6 on the sides of the self-moving plunger pump rotate in the same direction at the same time, so that the self-moving plunger pump as a whole moves forward or backward linearly; when any one of the hydraulic actuators 4 rotates alone or the rotating speeds of the two hydraulic actuators 4 are different, the rotation of the caterpillar belt 6 on one side or the rotation of the caterpillar belts 6 on both sides at different speeds can be realized, so that the turning function of the self-moving plunger pump in movement can be realized.

[0049] The reversing device 2 can also control the opening size of the valve core inside the reversing device 2 by manual or remote control, so as to control the flow of hydraulic oil, and finally realize the adjustment of the rotating speed of the hydraulic actuator 4. Different rotating speeds can be realized by the hydraulic actuator 4, so that the walking speed of the self-moving plunger pump can be adjusted.

[0050] In addition, the hydraulic system of the self-moving plunger pump is configured with related pipelines and joints to ensure the operation of the hydraulic system and realize the walking function of the self-moving plunger pump, so as to achieve the purpose of the transportation equipment.
