Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chipper blades, specifically a blade assembly for a drum chipper. Background Technology
[0002] Drum chippers are specialized equipment for producing high-quality wood chips. They are known for their superior performance and can efficiently and stably cut logs and small-diameter timber into high-quality industrial wood chips with uniform length, smooth cuts, and uniform thickness. The blade assembly is a key part of the equipment, responsible for cutting logs or timber into wood chips of the required specifications.
[0003] The blade assembly of a drum chipper generates a lot of heat during the cutting process. Therefore, heat dissipation grooves are usually designed on the blades to increase the contact area between the blades and the air, and the heat is dissipated into the air through natural convection. However, this heat dissipation method is relatively slow. When the blades work for a long time, the rate of heat generation is higher than the rate of heat dissipation. A lot of heat is generated due to friction, which causes the blades to overheat, affecting their hardness and wear resistance, and easily reducing the service life of the blades.
[0004] In summary, this utility model provides a blade assembly for a drum chipper to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a blade assembly for a drum chipper, including a blade body 1. A fixing frame 2 is detachably connected to both sides of the blade body 1. Ventilation holes 3 are provided at the front and rear ends of the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2. A fan 4 is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the ventilation hole 3. A fixing unit 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2. The fixing unit 6 includes mounting holes 601, which are located at the front and rear ends of the top sides of the blade body 1. Through holes 602 are provided at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the fixing frame 2. A locking post 603 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the through hole 602. A locking groove 604 is provided at the front and rear ends of the top of the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2. The top of the locking post 603 extends into the inner cavity of the locking groove 604 and engages with the inner cavity of the locking groove 604.
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the blade body 1 is the main component for cutting wood, while the fixing frame 2 is used to securely install the internal components on both sides of the blade body 1. The fan 4 forces convection through the ventilation hole 3, accelerating the airflow between the blade body 1 and the fixing frame 2, further enhancing the heat dissipation effect and preventing the blade body 1 from being affected by excessive temperature, thus affecting its service life. The mounting hole 601, through hole 602, locking post 603, and locking groove 604 work together to securely fix the fixing frame 2 to the surface of the blade body 1. The engagement of the locking post 603 and the locking groove 604 ensures the stability of the fixing frame 2 on the surface of the blade body 1.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] Reference Figure 2 , 3 4 and 5 represent the second embodiment of this utility model, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0026] In this embodiment, positioning blocks 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the blade body 1 and to the front end of the fixing frame 2, and protective frames 7 are fixedly connected to the surface of the ventilation hole 3 and to the side of the two fixing frames 2 that are close to each other. There are four protective frames 7.
[0027] Pressing plates 605 are provided on the opposite sides of the two fixed frames 2. Fixing brackets 606 are fixedly connected to the front and back of the pressing plates 605. The bottom of the clamping post 603 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing bracket 606.
[0028] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the positioning block 5 is used to ensure the correct installation position of the blade body 1 within the fixing frame 2, while the protective frame 7 is used to protect the ventilation hole 3 and the fan 4, preventing sawdust or other impurities generated during the cutting process from entering and blocking the ventilation channel. The pressing plate 605 and the fixing bracket 606 work together to move the operating pin 603 up and down, thereby fixing and releasing the fixing frame 2 on the surface of the blade body 1.
[0029] Example 3
[0030] Reference Figure 3 and 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0031] In this embodiment, limit grooves 607 are provided at the front and rear ends of the two fixed frames 2 on the opposite side. Limit blocks 608 are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limit grooves 607. One end of the limit block 608 extends to the outside of the limit grooves 607 and is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 606.
[0032] A compression spring 609 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting block 608, and the bottom of the compression spring 609 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the limiting groove 607.
[0033] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the cooperation between the limiting groove 607 and the limiting block 608 restricts the movement range of the fixing frame 606 and the locking post 603. The compression spring 609 provides an upward elastic force to the limiting block 608, so that the locking post 603 can be tightly engaged in the locking groove 604.
[0034] During use, a space is reserved in the chipper for the fixed frame 2. The blade body 1 is fixed to the cutter roller with a fly knife bolt. After the chipper is started, the cutter roller drives the blade body 1 to rotate, cutting the added wood. During the cutting process, the fan 4 can be started through the external controller. When the fan 4 is running, it can accelerate the air circulation speed on the surface of the blade body 1, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation of the blade body 1. When the blade body 1 is worn out and needs to be replaced, the blade body 1 is first removed from the chipper. After removal, the pressing plate 605 is pressed in conjunction with the fixed frame 606 to move the locking post 603 downward. Until it is removed from the inside of the mounting hole 601, the compression spring 609 will deform due to the pressure. After it is removed, the fixing frame 2 can be removed from the surface of the blade body 1. After removal, the fixing frame 2 is installed on the side of the new blade body 1. Release the pressing plate 605. At this time, the pressure on the compression spring 609 disappears and resets. The reset force of the compression spring 609 drives the locking pin 603 to reset, so that the locking pin 603 passes through the mounting hole 601 and is inserted into the inner cavity of the locking slot 604. The fixing frame 2 can be repositioned. After installation, the blade body 1 can be reinstalled into the chipper for continued use.
