A dual-purpose milling and digging tunneling
loader is used for collecting and loading materials in urban underground
pipe networks, highway bridges and culverts,
water diversion projects, and underground mine tunnels. It consists of a working mechanism, a cab operation control mechanism, a
hydraulic control system, a vehicle
chassis travel mechanism, an
electrical control system, and a material conveying mechanism; the milling and digging head or bucket
assembly of the working mechanism is hingedly assembled on the
forearm, and the bucket
assembly is used for excavation when the
material hardness is f≤3, and the milling and digging head is used for milling and digging when the
material hardness is f≥3; the
loader has a height of 1.4-1.6 meters and a width of 1.5-1.7 meters, and can be used for digging and loading in narrow
pipe culverts and tunnels. The present invention can perform excavation operations and material loading in narrow
pipe culvert tunnels, and the excavation method is dual-purpose. When the
material hardness is f≤3, the bucket is used for excavation operations, and when the material
hardness is f≥3, the milling and digging head is used for milling and digging operations. It can effectively reduce the risk of casualties and construction costs in manual operations, eliminate safety hazards, save energy in mechanical operations, improve excavation progress, and have high work efficiency.
