Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of geological exploration and coal mining, and in particular to a pick structure and a preparation method. Background Art

[0002] Carbide picks and diamond composite picks (including coal picks, rotary cutting teeth, tunneling teeth, etc.) are widely used excavation tools in the current mining industry, geological and petroleum industry, infrastructure pile foundation industry, tunneling, roadway excavation, and highway maintenance and milling. Since picks are needed for construction on hard rock on the ground, the working conditions of rock construction are very harsh, which places high demands on the manufacturing technology of picks. The pick head and shank on the market are of an integral structure. When the product is heat treated, it is generally subjected to an overall quenching heat treatment and then back-processing. The pick alloy and the tooth body are mostly connected by brazing process, which does not ensure that the solder is fully melted and the brazing temperature needs to be above 800℃; the pick body is an integral forging structure, and the stress is concentrated at the transition arc, which has a high risk of fracture. In addition, when the integral structure alloy is brazed with the tooth body, the brazing quality fluctuates greatly due to the alloy tolerance, mounting hole tolerance, and solder tolerance, which makes the pick easy to lose alloy during use; when the alloy is brazed with the tooth body, the thermal expansion coefficients of the tooth body material and the alloy material are inconsistent, and internal stress will exist after welding, affecting the strength of the pick; after the alloy is brazed with the tooth body, it will be quenched together with the tooth body, and the quenching process will affect the strength of the alloy; at the same time, the pick head and the shank are integral and need to be heat treated together, and the pick requires the tooth head to be wear-resistant and have high hardness in actual use to increase the service life; the shank has high toughness and fatigue strength requirements to prevent the shank from breaking. It is difficult to achieve both requirements with existing technology. In actual use, the tooth head is not wear-resistant or the handle is easily broken, which reduces the service life of the rotary excavator teeth. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Step 7. Install high-strength bolts to prevent the shank from falling off and the plug from loosening. Use welding, bonding, etc. to fix the high-strength bolts to prevent them from loosening and falling off.

[0019] The present invention overturns the traditional brazing process used to combine the pick alloy and the tooth body, and combines the cold inlay method with the tooth body to solve the problems of internal stress and alloy shedding after alloy brazing; the tooth head and the tooth shank are processed independently, and the tooth head is heat treated before the alloy is inlaid to avoid the alloy head and the tooth body being heat treated together, which affects the strength of the alloy head, while meeting the high wear resistance of the tooth head and the high toughness and high fatigue resistance of the tooth shank; it effectively solves the problem of shedding between the tooth shank and the tooth head, and compared with the brazing of the prior art, the cold interference pressing makes the connection more firm, improves the retention capacity of the main alloy, prolongs the retention time, prolongs the effective cutting time of the main alloy, and prolongs the life of the pick; enhances the bonding strength between the tooth guarding alloy bean and the tooth body, improves the retention capacity of the tooth guarding alloy bean, prolongs the retention time, makes the tooth guarding more effective for a long time, and prolongs the service life of the pick.
