The invention discloses a power head structure for a horizontal
directional drilling machine, and belongs to the technical field of horizontal
directional drilling machines. On the basis of an original structure, a cover body (9) is additionally arranged, the cover body (9) is arranged on the outer side of a power head main shaft (16), the front end of the cover body (9) is installed at the rear end of a power head box body (15), the center of a rear base plate is provided with a circular installation hole, meanwhile, a connecting shaft (18), a V-type combined sealing ring (19), a pressing
flange (10) and a
central spindle (8) are further arranged in the cover body (9), and the connecting shaft (18), the V-type combined sealing ring (19), the pressing
flange (10) and the
central spindle (8) are sequentially installed between a slime pump input connector (4) and the power head main shaft (16). According to the power head structure, the power head main shaft (16) is guaranteed to slide in a front-and-back mode relative to the power head box body (15), meanwhile, the position of the slime pump input connector (4) is fixed, slime in a slime input soft
pipe (3) installed on the slime pump input connector (4) is guaranteed to be smoothly delivered, the phenomena of buckling and even breaking caused by non-timely movement in the original structure are avoided, and the construction progress is ensured.
