[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application provides a slewing bearing broken bolt extraction device 100, comprising a base 10, a jacking assembly 20, a sleeve assembly 30 and a driving assembly 40, wherein the base 10 is provided with a bracket 11 moving vertically and reciprocally; the jacking assembly 20 is arranged on the base 10 and supported at the bottom of the bracket 11, and the jacking assembly 20 converts rotary motion into lifting motion; the sleeve assembly 30 comprises a sleeve 31 and a drill bit 32, the drill bit 32 is arranged on the sleeve 31; and the driving assembly 40 is arranged on the bracket 11 and comprises a first output end 421 and a second output end 422, the first output end 421 is connected with the sleeve assembly 30 for driving the drill bit 32 to rotate, and the second output end 422 is connected with the jacking assembly 20 for driving the jacking assembly 20 to lift.

[0035] Specifically, the bracket 11 plays a role of fixing and supporting to ensure the stability of the device during operation. The structure of the bracket 11 can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the slewing bearing to adapt to different types of equipment with slewing bearings.

The sleeve 31 and the drill bit 32 are made of wear-resistant materials to ensure the durability during repeated use.

[0036] Specifically, during operation, the driving assembly 40 is started, and the driving assembly 40 simultaneously drives the jacking assembly 20 and the sleeve assembly 30 to move. The jacking assembly 20 converts the rotary motion into linear motion to drive the bracket 11 to jacking motion, and at the same time, the sleeve assembly 30 rotates. Since the sleeve 31 is connected with the broken bolt, the broken bolt is taken out with the movement of the sleeve 31.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the slewing bearing broken bolt taking-out device 100 further comprises a control assembly 60 arranged on the bracket 11. The control assembly 60 comprises a main controller, a sensor and an actuator. The main controller is used for integrated control of the driving assembly 40, the sensor and the actuator. The sensor is used for detecting the taking-out position and speed and transmitting the detection signal to the main controller.

During this process, the sensor detects the taking-out position and speed in real time and feeds back the detection signal to the main controller. The main controller controls the actuator according to the detection signal fed back by the sensor. The actuator receives the control signal of the main controller and controls the driving assembly 40 to realize accurate control of the taking-out position and speed. By adopting the control assembly 60, accurate control of the position and speed of the taking-out device can be realized.

The fixed plate is arranged on the base 10, the screw pair is rotatably arranged on the fixed plate, and the sliding block is matched with the screw pair. In the embodiment, the base 10, the support 11 and the fixed plate are made of steel. The screw pair is arranged on the base 10 through the fixed plate. The screw pair and the sliding block are matched to convert the rotary motion of the driving assembly 40 into linear motion to drive the support 11 to move up and down. In other embodiments, the jacking assembly 20 can also adopt other structural forms as long as it can convert the rotary motion of the driving assembly 40 into the lifting motion of the support 11.

[0040] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 40 comprises a driving motor 41 and a double-output speed reducer 42. The double-output speed reducer 42 is connected with the driving motor 41. The double-output speed reducer 42 has a first output end 421 and a second output end 422. The first output end 421 and the second output end 422 are located on the upper and lower sides of the double-output speed reducer 42, respectively. In the embodiment, the output shaft of the driving motor 41 is connected with the double-output speed reducer 42.

The double-output speed reducer 42 is a worm gear speed reducer, and the speed reduction ratio of the speed reducer is 1:50, which can reduce the rotating speed of the driving motor 41 to 30 rpm to adapt to the rotating speed of the screw pair.

[0042] It can be understood that the inner diameter of the sleeve 31 is matched with the outer diameter of the broken bolt, and the size of the drill bit 32 is matched with the size of the broken bolt.

The main controller controls the driving motor 41 and other devices according to the detection signal fed back by the sensor, so as to realize accurate control of the taking-out position and speed. The whole process is simple and safe to operate.

[0052] Example 2: The broken bolt 400 at the slewing bearing 300 of a main equipment 200 is taken out. The diameter of the broken bolt 400 is 5cm.

The sleeve 31 with an inner diameter of 5cm is selected, and the installation of the remaining components is operated according to the method of example 1.

[0053] During the whole taking-out process, the main controller, the sensor and the actuator work cooperatively to ensure that the taking-out device maintains stable position and speed during the operation process, and the broken bolt 400 is taken out efficiently, safely and accurately.
