Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a hydraulic shear with adjustable tension, belonging to the technical field of shearing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic shears, a common industrial processing cutting tool, are used in conjunction with excavators to achieve rapid shearing. Because hydraulic shears use a hydraulic device as their drive mechanism, they can cut large steel pieces. However, existing hydraulic shears suffer from uneven shearing forces due to the uneven density within the steel. Wear and tear on the shears after use can also cause misalignment, resulting in unstable shearing and reduced shearing efficiency, negatively impacting user experience. Therefore, we propose a hydraulic shear with adjustable shear tension. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydraulic shear with adjustable tension to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the shears are prone to deflection during use, reducing the cutting effect.

Hydraulic cylinders are hinged to both sides of the upper end of the mounting base. A shear seat is hinged to the other end of each hydraulic cylinder. Shears are mounted on the shear seat. The shear seat is hinged to the lower end of the mounting base via a rotating device. The rotating device includes a pressure sleeve (first and second) fixed at the front and rear ends of the mounting base to limit the axial movement of the shear seat. A rotating shaft passes through the pressure sleeve, the shear seat, and the pressure sleeve (second) for rotating the shear seat.
