Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tunneling equipment technology, and in particular relates to a roller cutter barrel, a cutting disc, and a cantilever tunneling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional cantilever tunneling machines use a cutting head with cutting teeth or a cutting disc with roller cutters for excavation. When operating in hard rock formations, this method is inefficient and results in rapid cutter wear. To improve the adaptability of cantilever tunneling machines in hard rock formations, existing technologies have developed oscillating cutting discs. These discs can oscillate up and down, left and right, utilizing the characteristic that the tensile strength of rock is much lower than its compressive strength to shear the rock. For example, the applicant's utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN216517999U discloses an oscillating eccentric cutting disc, which improves rock-breaking efficiency.
[0003] However, when used in high-strength hard rock formations, the roller cutter swings with the cutting disc and is subjected to a large lateral force when it needs to change direction, which can easily lead to brittle fracture and chipping. The actual failure rate is as high as 30%, requiring frequent cutter replacements, resulting in low construction efficiency and high costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a roller cutter barrel to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the roller cutter is prone to breakage when subjected to lateral forces during reversal and oscillation. Another purpose of this invention is to provide a cutting disc having the aforementioned roller cutter barrel and a cantilever tunneling machine having the aforementioned cutting disc.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this invention for the hobbing cutter barrel is as follows:
[0006] A hobbing cutter barrel includes a barrel body with a mounting position for mounting a hobbing cutter. The barrel body has a rotation axis, the hobbing cutter has a rotation axis, and the mounting position has an axis that corresponds to and coincides with the rotation axis of the hobbing cutter. The rotation axis of the barrel body and the axis of the mounting position are perpendicular to each other.
[0007] The beneficial effects are: This invention improves upon the existing hobbing cutter barrel. When the cutting disc swings from up and down (left and right) to left and right (up and down) with the cantilever, the hobbing cutter, after being subjected to lateral force, swings eccentrically with the cutter barrel to achieve the change of direction, thus buffering the lateral force on the cutter disc and preventing the hobbing cutter from chipping or breaking.
[0008] As a further improvement, the rear end of the cylinder is connected to an eccentric shaft for rotatably connecting with the cutting disc. The central axis of the eccentric shaft is the rotation axis of the cylinder, and the distance between the axis of the mounting position and the central axis of the eccentric shaft is not greater than the radius of the eccentric shaft.
[0009] The beneficial effects are: it avoids a large overturning moment between the roller cutter and the cutting disc, thus improving the stress distribution.
[0010] As a further improvement, the distance between the axis of the mounting position and the central axis of the eccentric shaft is 40%-60% of the radius of the eccentric shaft.
[0011] As a further improvement, a rolling bearing is connected to the outer periphery of the eccentric shaft.

[0057] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0058] Specific embodiment 1 of the hobbing cutter barrel provided by the present invention:
[0059] The hobbing cutter barrel provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a cylinder 1. The front end of the cylinder 1 (in the forward / backward direction of excavation) has a mounting groove 11 for installing a cutting roller. In actual application, the cutting roller is placed in the mounting groove 11 and rotates to crush and break the rock. The cutting roller has a rotation axis, and the mounting groove 11 has an axis that is aligned with the rotation axis of the cutting roller. The rear end of the cylinder 1 has an eccentric shaft 12 for rotatably connecting to the cutter head body 2. The central axis of the eccentric shaft 12 is the rotation axis of the cylinder 1. The outer circumference of the cylinder 1 is circular. The mounting groove 11 is located at the center of the cylinder 1. The axis in the mounting groove 11 used for positioning and engaging the cutting roller is in the same plane as the central axis of the cylinder 1. The central axis of the cylinder 1 is perpendicular to the central axis of the eccentric shaft 12. In actual operation, the cutting roller is rotatably installed in the mounting groove 11. Under the swinging action of the cutting arm, the cutting roller cylinder deflects to one side, such as... Figure 3 As shown in the diagram on the left, the position of the cutter barrel is shown when the cutting arm swings up and down to crush rocks under normal pressure. When the cutting arm swings left and right, the cutter is subjected to lateral force, and the barrel 1 deflects around the eccentric axis. The lateral force is buffered, and finally the radial direction of the cutter blade is parallel to the direction of the deflection lateral force, which effectively solves the problem of the cutter blade easily chipping or breaking during swinging.
[0060] To avoid a large overturning moment when the cylinder 1 swings, and to improve the force distribution between the cutter cylinder and the cutting disc body 2, the distance between the axis of the mounting groove 11 used for positioning and engaging with the hob and the central axis of the eccentric shaft 12 is not greater than the radius of the eccentric shaft 12. Preferably, the distance between the axis of the mounting position and the central axis of the eccentric shaft 12 is 40%-60% of the radius of the eccentric shaft 12.
[0061] A rolling bearing is also installed on the outer circumference of the eccentric shaft 12, which facilitates the rotation of the cylinder 1 onto the cutting disc body 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rolling bearing is a pair of tapered roller bearings 7 mounted face-to-face, ensuring the balance of axial forces. A second retaining ring 8 is also provided between the tapered roller bearings 7 to prevent relative axial collisions between the tapered roller bearings 7.
[0062] The tapered roller bearing 7 is placed in the mounting box 3. The mounting box 3 is provided with a limiting structure to restrict the forward and backward axial movement of the tapered roller bearing 7. Specifically, the tapered roller bearing 7 is placed in a mounting hole provided in the mounting box 3. The mounting hole is a stepped hole with a front diameter smaller than the rear diameter. The front stepped step cooperates with the outer ring stop of the circumferential roller bearing to form a limiting boss that restricts the forward movement of the tapered roller bearing. An end cover 4 is connected to the rear end of the mounting hole by screws 5. The end cover 4 is provided with a limiting boss to restrict the backward movement of the tapered roller bearing.
[0063] To further improve the connection reliability between the tapered roller bearing 7 and the eccentric shaft 12 and limit axial relative sliding between the tapered roller bearing 7 and the eccentric shaft 12, a positioning groove is also provided on the outer periphery of the eccentric shaft 12. A first retaining ring 6 is provided in the positioning groove, and the first retaining ring 6 is in contact with the rear end face of the tapered roller bearing 7.
[0064] To ensure the normal and stable operation of the tapered roller bearing 7, a sealing ring is provided between the front end of the mounting hole of the mounting box 3 and the eccentric shaft 12 to prevent debris generated by the hobbing cutter from entering the interior of the mounting box 3 and causing damage to the bearing.
[0065] During assembly, the eccentric shaft 12, sealing ring, tapered roller bearing 7, end cover 4 and mounting box 3 can be pre-installed externally, and then the mounting box 3 can be fixedly connected to the cutting disc body 2, which improves the installation efficiency.
[0066] The specific embodiment 2 of the hobbing cutter barrel provided by the present invention differs from embodiment 1 mainly in that: in embodiment 1, an eccentric shaft 12 is connected to the rear side of the barrel body 1. In this embodiment, the hobbing cutter barrel does not include an eccentric shaft, the cutting disc body is provided with a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is provided with a connecting structure for connecting the barrel body, and the barrel body is eccentrically installed at the front end of the rotating shaft.
[0067] The specific embodiment 3 of the hobbing cutter barrel provided by the present invention differs from embodiment 1 mainly in that: in embodiment 1, the eccentric shaft 12 is equipped with a rolling bearing. In this embodiment, the eccentric shaft is not equipped with a rolling bearing, but a rolling bearing is provided in the barrel mounting hole of the cutting disc body.
[0068] The specific embodiment 4 of the hobbing cutter barrel provided by the present invention differs from embodiment 1 mainly in that: in embodiment 1, the cutter barrel is a circular cylinder, while in this embodiment, the cutter barrel is a square cylinder.
[0069] Specific embodiments of the cutting disc in this invention:
[0070] The cutting disc includes a cutting disc body 2, and the cutting disc body 2 is connected to the roller cutter cylinder described in any of the embodiments of embodiments 1 to 4, which will not be described in detail here.
[0071] Specific embodiments of the cantilever tunneling machine in this invention:
[0072] The cantilever tunneling machine includes existing technologies such as the cutting boom, drive system, and travel system, as well as the cutting disc in the above-mentioned cutting disc embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.
[0073] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative effort, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
