This application claims the priority of Chinese patent application with application No. 201110305831.6, and filed on Oct. 11, 2011, and all disclosed contents thereof should be incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a crawler chassis technique for engineering machinery, in particular, to a telescopic crawler chassis and engineering machinery having the same.
In the field of chassis of engineering machinery, owing to the adaptability and flexibility of the crawler-type walking mode, a crawler chassis is widely applied in the engineering machinery, such as pile drivers, drilling machines and cranes.
With the development of the engineering technology, engineering operation raises higher requirements to the crawler-type engineering machinery. For example, in recent years, pile foundation engineering in the constructional engineering develops swiftly, Skyscrapers are built increasingly, and the diameter and depth of the pile foundation also increase increasingly. The increase of the diameter and depth of the pile foundation raises higher requirements for the stability of the piling machinery, which requires that the width of the crawler chassis can be extended in the construction operation. Likewise, other engineering operations also raise the same requirements to the corresponding crawler-type engineering machinery, which requires that the crawler chassis can have a larger width to ensure the stability of the engineering machinery in the construction operation.
Although increase of the width of the crawler chassis can solve the stability problem during the construction operation, mere increase of the width of the crawler chassis means enlargement of the width of the chassis and increase of the weight thereof. Thus problems are caused such as increase of manufacturing cost, increase of energy consumption in operation, inconvenient transition transportation. In order to coordinate the stability of the construction operation and the flexibility of the transition transportation, the present crawler-type construction machinery has already had a telescopic structure, that is, a telescopic crawler chassis has been already proposed. The crawler chassis has two states: an operating state and a field transition state. In the process of the construction operation, the crawler chassis is in the operation state, crawler frames on the two sides extend toward the two sides respectively, and thus the width of the crawler chassis is extended to improve the stability of the construction machinery. In the process of field transition state, the chassis is in the state of transition, crawler frames on the two sides shrink, thus the width of the crawler chassis is decreased, so the transition transportation is more convenient.
The well-known crawler chassis, such as that issued on page 79 to page 92 of Chapter five of Piling Machinery published by Mechanic Industry Press, is generally a crawler chassis borrowings in a crawler-type crane. The disadvantages are as follows: in order to realize the shrinkage and broadening width of the crawlers on the two sides, there is a large space between a crawler frame and an extending beam of the chassis; when the crawler is extended outward to the maximum width, the overlapped area between the extending beam and the track frame is small, there is an unstable factor in terms of structure, which will cause shaking of the uptight post in the operation; and the broadening width of the crawler is also limited, generally less than or equal to 4300 mm. In order to further extend the broadening width and increase the overlapped area, a structure of hinge plate is adopted. Two hinge plates open during shrinkage for transportation, and the two hinge plates are folded together during extending to achieve the purpose of extending the beam and increasing the overlapped area. Although the extending width of the crawler can achieve 4600 mm, this structure also has the following disadvantages: the structure of the hinge plate itself has an unstable problem, the problem that there is a large space between a crawler frame and the extending beam of the chassis still exists, and the pile frame walking and the operation are still unstable. Thus important property parameters will be discounted, such as the height of the uptight post of the pile frame, the weight of the carrying work and the endurable maximum operation torque.
For example, patent CN101806063A titled “CRAWLER-TYPE PILE FRAME AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING THE SAME” discloses the following contents: a chassis comprises a base, a hollow extending beam, a hollow sliding beam and a sliding beam. One end of the hollow sliding beam and one end of the sliding beam are fixedly connected with a crawler walking device respectively, and the other ends thereof are movably inserted into the hollow extending beam. The crawler walking device moves with respect to the extending beam of the chassis via the hollow sliding beam and the sliding beam. When the lateral crawler walking devices of the two sides shrink inward, a front end of the sliding beam can be inserted into a hollow part of the hollow sliding beam to form an overlapped state. When the crawler walking device shrinks inward, although the sliding beam and the hollow sliding beam can form the overlapped state, the width of two lateral crawlers is extended when the crawlers extend to increase the stability of the whole pile frame, the following disadvantages still exist: in order to be convenient for transportation, the width of two lateral crawlers in shrinking state should be less than or equal to 3300 mm, therefore, when the width of two lateral crawlers is extended to the maximum size (less than or equal to 6000 mm), the sliding cross bean is completely disconnected from the hollow sliding beam, thus the practical overlapped area between the sliding beam and the extending beam is limited somewhat, so that unstable factors still exist in terms of structure.
For example, patent CN1587543A titled “ELECTRONIC HYDRAULIC CRAWLER-TYPE PILE FRAME” discloses the following contents: the chassis is also provided with a sliding beam and a fixed device, and an extending beam is of a hollow structure. One end of the sliding beam is fixed with a crawler walking device, and the other end thereof is movably inserted into the hollow extending beam. The crawler walking device can not only move with respect to the extending beam of the chassis via the sliding beam, but also can be mutually rigidly connected with the extending beam of the chassis via the fixed device. As the crawler walking device is mutually overlapped and moves oppositely with a hollow sliding seat of the chassis via the sliding beam, while an enough overlapping length between them is guaranteed, the broadening width of the crawlers walking devices on the two sides is wider than the 4300 mm in prior art and up to 5000 to 6000 mm. Meanwhile, when the crawler walking devices on the two sides are extended outward to the maximum width, the sliding beams also can maintain mutual overlapping, so the whole structural stability of the pile frame walking and the operation is further guaranteed and improved. While when the crawler walking device shrinks, the width still maintain to be less than or equal to 3300 mm, thus the machine can be transported without dismounting the crawler. Yet the following disadvantages still exist: if a large crawler pile frame requires the width of the crawler walking devices on the two sides to be wider (larger than 6000 mm), owing to the width limitation of the structure, the sliding beam and the hollow sliding beam will be disconnected from each other, and the practical overlapped area between the sliding beam and the extending beam is limited, unstable factors still exist in terms of structure.

To solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a crawler-type engineering machinery, comprising a crawler chassis that is the telescopic crawler chassis according to any one of technical schemes above.
The crawler-type engineering machinery provided in the present invention comprises crawler-type piling machinery, crawler-type drills, crawler-type pile presses, crawler-type rammers, crawler-type diggers, crawler-type mills, crawler-type blenders, crawler-type conveyors, crawler-type operation trucks, crawler-type cranes, and crawler-type mine machinery and the like.
The telescopic crawler chassis in the present invention has the following active effects and advantages: as the left and right crawlers are overlapped with the hollow sliding seat of the chassis in the aid of the sliding beams and do relative movement, the size (may up to 6000-7000 mm) of the crawler walking devices on the two sides is extended to be wider than that (5000-6000 mm) of the prior art while ensuring an enough overlapped area between the sliding beams and the hollow sliding seat, and the stability of the engineering machinery is improved during walking and operating.

As the left and right crawler frames can move, shrink and extend with respect to the base and can also be rigidly and fixedly connected with the sliding beams, the stability of the engineering machinery is guaranteed in terms of structure during walking and operating. The improvement of the stability has the following advantages:
First, the safety and reliability of the engineering machinery are improved during construction, so accidents such as rolling-over of the engineering machinery may be avoided.
Second, given the same height of the upright post or cantilever of the engineering machinery, operating devices such as piling, drilling or lifting tools in a larger size may be mounted on the engineering machinery, to enlarge the application range and utilization rate of the engineering machinery.
Third, given the same model of the operating devices equipped in the engineering machinery, the length of the upright post or cantilever may be increased, to enlarge the operating range and improve the construction efficiency.
Fourth, under the premise of ensuring the safety and stability of the engineering machinery, it is easy to make the size of the crawler walking devices of the engineering machinery less than or equal to 3300 mm after shrinkage, so the engineering machinery may be transported or moved in a whole without detaching the crawlers. The change of the field is convenient, and the efficiency is high.
Drawings, which form a part of the description and are provided for further understanding of the present invention, show the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and explain the principle of the present invention together with the description. In the drawings:
The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below as shown in drawings, however the present invention may be implemented by various different ways defined and covered by the claims. In the drawings, identical components are indicated by identical reference number.
A first embodiment provides a telescopic crawler chassis for a pile press. As shown in
As shown in
The telescopic crawler chassis provided in the first embodiment works according to the following procedures: when the pistons of the left telescopic oil cylinder 18 and the right telescopic oil cylinder 19 are in the shrunk state (as shown in
During the movement of the sliding beams, after the right crawler frame 2 and the right crawler frame 3 reach a certain preset position, the corresponding sliding beams, hollow sliding seats and intermediate transition beams are locked by the positioning pin shafts 16, 17, 23 and 24 to enable the crawler chassis in the condition of operator or site transfer.
According to the above description, when performing state change, the telescopic crawler chassis provided in the first embodiment can control the left telescopic oil cylinder 18 and the right telescopic oil cylinder 19 through a hydraulic system and then further drives the right crawler frame 2 and the right crawler frame 3 to move, thus the width between the right crawler frame 2 and the right crawler frame 3 is changed. The operation process is greatly simplified and the operability of the state change of the telescopic crawler chassis is improved. Meanwhile, as when the telescopic crawler chassis is in the operation state, great mutual overlapping exists between the sliding beams and the hollow sliding seat, in particular that more mutual overlapping can be maintained between the sliding beams at the two sides with the assistance of the intermediate transition beams, the rigidity and strength of the crawler chassis can be ensured during the operation and the rigidity and strength requirements of the construction work can be met. Therefore, the telescopic crawler chassis can be applied in large engineering machineries such as pile presses.
In this embodiment, in order to ensure a greater extending span of the telescopic crawler chassis during the operation, the front and the rear hollow sliding seats both run through the left end and the right end of the base 1. Compared with the width during site transfer, the telescopic crawler chassis provided by the present invention can be extended to a larger width than the width of the base 1 during the operation.
In this embodiment, the left telescopic oil cylinder 18 and the right telescopic oil cylinder 19 are symmetrical to each other on the right side and the left side, and the extension lines of the two cylinders in the telescopic directions pass through the centers of the rotary support of the base 1 and the crawler frames. When the right crawler frame 2 and the right crawler frame 3 move to the two sides, the right crawler frame 2 and the right crawler frame 3 can be ensured to undergo balanced stress, thus avoiding the deflection of the right crawler frame 2 and the right crawler frame 3 that results in the cooperation between the sliding beams and the hollow sliding seats. Thus those skilled in the art can understand that in order to avoid the deflection of the right crawler frame 2 and the right crawler frame 3, a corresponding telescopic oil cylinder can be separately arranged between the corresponding sliding beams and hollow sliding seats. A plurality of telescopic oil cylinders operate simultaneously so as to push the right crawler frame 2 and the right crawler frame 3 to move simultaneously.
Another aspect of the present invention provides engineering machinery having the aforesaid telescopic crawler chassis. In this embodiment, a front hollow sliding seat and a rear hollow sliding seat are provided. The front hollow sliding seat 4 is located at the front portion of the base 1, the rear hollow sliding seat 20 is located at the rear portion of the base 1, and the rear hollow sliding seat 20 and the front hollow sliding seat 4 are parallel to each other. Four sliding beams are arranged symmetrically at the front and the rear and at the left and the right sides, thus ensuring the stable stress suffered by the engineering machinery, e.g., the pile press as shown in
The above description only takes the pile press as shown in
As the telescopic crawler chassis has the aforesaid technical features and effects, the crawler type engineering machinery having said telescopic crawler chassis also has the aforesaid technical features and effects.
Above contents only describe the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention; for one skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and changes. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
