[0085] Example 3
[0086] Based on Example 1 and Example 2, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 8 ,
[0087] Updates to Anchor Assembly 105:
[0088] Replace the original disc spring 1055 and slide block 1058 to form a pneumatic or hydraulic drive system. The system includes a cylinder (or hydraulic cylinder) and a piston, and drives the deployment and folding of the anchoring legs by controlling the air pressure (or hydraulic pressure).
[0089] The basic structure of the connecting member 1054, the first anchoring leg 1051 and the second anchoring leg 1052 is retained, but the design of the hinge point and the connecting axis is optimized to improve stability and durability.
[0090] Updates to feed components:
[0091] A ball screw mechanism driven by a servo motor is introduced to replace the original resistance spring 2054 and feed spring 205. The servo motor can accurately control the feed speed and feed amount, thereby improving the cutting accuracy.
[0092] The feed rod 204 and the connecting shaft 2052 are retained, but are connected to a ball screw mechanism driven by a servo motor to achieve precise feeding.
[0093] Optimization of the second drive component:
[0094] Maintain the basic configuration of the reducer 2055 and the cutting motor 2056, but consider using a higher efficiency motor and reducer combination to improve cutting efficiency and power output.
[0095] Other structural optimizations:
[0096] The design of the threaded ring 1013 is simplified by using a stronger and easier to process material, such as stainless steel or alloy steel.
[0097] The connection method between the housing 1 101 and the housing 2 1011 is optimized to ensure sealing and stability.
[0098] How it works after the update:
[0099] Anchor assembly 105: The pneumatic (or hydraulic) drive system drives the piston movement by controlling the air pressure (or hydraulic pressure), thereby driving the deployment and folding of anchor leg 1 1051 and anchor leg 2 1052. The design of the hinge point and the connecting axis ensures that the anchor legs remain stable during the deployment and folding process.
[0100] When the cutter needs to be fixed, the pneumatic (or hydraulic) system is activated to push the piston outward, driving the anchor legs to expand and close to the inner wall of the pipe. After the cutting is completed, the system reverses the operation to retract the anchor legs and release the fixation on the inner wall of the pipe.
[0101] Feed assembly: The ball screw mechanism driven by the servo motor realizes the linear motion of the feed rod 204 by precisely controlling the rotation of the ball screw 1017. The high-precision control of the servo motor ensures the accuracy of the feed speed and feed amount.
[0102] During the cutting process, the servo motor adjusts the rotation speed and direction of the ball screw 1017 according to the preset cutting parameters or the real-time feedback of the cutting state, thereby controlling the feed speed and feed amount of the feed rod 204. The movement of the feed rod 204 drives the grinding head 203 and the blade to maintain close contact with the object to be cut, and achieves precise cutting.
[0103] The second driving component: The high-efficiency motor drives the connecting shaft 2052 to rotate through the reducer 2055, thereby driving the grinding head 203 and the blade to rotate to perform cutting operations.
[0104] After the cutting motor 2056 is started, the speed of the motor is reduced to a suitable range through the reducer 2055, and the torque output is increased. The connecting shaft 2052 rotates under the drive of the motor, driving the grinding head 203 and the blade to rotate at a high speed to achieve cutting of the underground pipeline.
[0105] Other structures: Threaded ring 1013: uses a stronger material and an optimized design to ensure that the connection between shell 1 101 and shell 2 1011 is stable and reliable.
[0106] By optimizing the connection mode and layout between the various components, the compactness and stability of the overall structure are improved, ensuring the safety and reliability of the cutter during underground operations.
[0107] In the embodiments provided in this application, it should be understood that the disclosed devices and methods can be implemented in other ways. The device embodiments described above are only illustrative. For example, the division of the system is only a logical function division. There may be other division methods in actual implementation. For example, multiple systems or components can be combined or integrated into another system, or some features can be ignored or not executed.
