DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.

[0040] Embodiment 1:

[0041] Reference Figures 1 - 6 The present invention proposes a shield machine cutter storage, transfer and transportation mechanism, which includes two groups of symmetrically arranged clamping assemblies and a distance adjustment assembly for connecting the two groups of the clamping assemblies.

[0042] The clamping assembly includes an annular fixing plate 2, the outer diameter of which is larger than the maximum diameter of the hob, so as to effectively protect the hob. The outer edge of the fixing plate 2 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of extension portions 6, and each extension portion 6 is provided with a group of supporting mechanisms 8, which can position the hob in the radial and axial directions.

[0043] The distance adjustment assembly is used to adjust the distance between the two sets of clamping assemblies to further fix the position of the hob.

[0044] Through the above clamping assembly and distance adjustment assembly, the hob of the present invention can be quickly positioned, which is convenient for the storage, transfer and transportation of the hob.

[0045] In this solution, the support mechanism includes a chute 11 opened at the first extension part 6 and an inner slider 17 slidably connected to the chute 11. An installation hole (not marked) is provided in the inner slider 17. One side of the installation hole is detachably connected with a plugging mechanism. A buffer spring (a columnar spring made of cast iron can be used) is also arranged in the installation hole. The other side of the installation hole is connected with a support rod (not marked). An axial support plate 19 is fixed at the end of the support rod, and an outer slider 18 is fixed in the middle of the support rod. A radial positioning unit is installed on the outer slider 18. The position of the inner slider 17 in the chute 11 can be positioned by bolts.

[0046] The present invention positions the hob axially through the axial support plate 19, and further positions the hob radially in cooperation with the working of the radial positioning unit. And by setting the buffer spring, the device has better operability in use.

[0047] More specifically, the radial positioning unit includes a radial ejector rod 12 that movably penetrates the outer slider 18, a toggle rod 23 fixed to the radial ejector rod 12, and a power unit that drives the radial ejector rod 12 to slide.

[0048] The radial positioning unit proposed in this solution is combined with the axial support plate 19 into an integrated structure, which is convenient to operate and has a compact structure.

[0049] As an optional implementation manner of the present invention, the power unit includes a movable plate 3 rotatably and oppositely connected to the fixed plate 2 coaxially. The movable plate 3 is an annular plate. A plurality of arc-shaped grooves 10 corresponding to the radial positioning unit are opened on the movable plate 3. The toggle rod 23 in the radial positioning unit can movably pass through the arc-shaped groove 10 corresponding to it. A plurality of second extension parts 13 are circumferentially distributed on the fixed plate 2. A micro motor is installed on the second extension part 13. The output shaft of the micro motor is connected with a driving gear 7. A plurality of rolling edges 4 are circumferentially distributed at the outer circle of the movable plate 3. A toothed plate 9 meshing with the driving gear 7 is arranged inside the rolling edge 4.

[0050] When the rolling edges 4 provided by the present invention are used to transfer the hob in a small range, the two inspection assemblies with the hob fixed can also be vertically placed on the ground by using the characteristics of the rolling edges, so that the outer wall of the rolling edge contacts the ground to facilitate the movement of the whole device.

[0051] In this embodiment, the rotating movable plate 3 is used to drive each radial ejector rod 12 to slide, so as to clamp or loosen the hob 1.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that a connecting groove 25 coaxial with the fixed plate 2 is provided on the extension portion 2, a connecting rod (not marked) is fixed on the movable plate 3, and a sliding seat that slides with the connecting groove is provided at the end of the connecting rod, and the sliding seat can slide along its length direction at the same depth in the connecting groove.

[0053] In this solution, the connection relationship between the connecting groove, the connecting rod and the sliding seat is used to stabilize the connection structure between the movable plate and the fixed plate, and to stably realize the relative rotation between the two.

[0054] Specifically, a guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the connecting groove, and a sliding block cooperating with the guide groove is provided on the outer wall of the sliding seat, so that the sliding seat can slide along its length direction at the same depth in the connecting groove. At the same time, due to the clamping action of the guide groove and the guide block in another vertical direction, the fixed plate and the movable plate do not move relative to each other in the other directions, and the overall structure is more stable.

[0055] In this solution, the blocking mechanism includes a sealing column 16 screwed together with the mounting hole and an end plate 15 fixed to the end of the sealing column 16 .

[0056] The blocking mechanism designed in this solution is convenient for installation and disassembly, so as to facilitate replacement of the buffer spring in the installation hole.

[0057] A buffer head 24 is fixed to the end of the radial push rod 12 near the hob. The buffer head 24 is a polyurethane block, a silicone block or a rubber block.

[0058] In this solution, the buffering characteristics of the above-mentioned material can be used to avoid rigid contact during fixation, which plays a certain buffering and protective role. In addition, the friction coefficient between the above-mentioned material and the hob is relatively high, which can provide a large static friction force.

[0059] The axial support plate 19 is made of stainless steel and is in the shape of a circular plate. A rubber protective cushion layer is provided on one side of the support surface of the axial support plate 19, which can further improve the safety and comfort during use.

[0060] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the distance adjustment assembly includes a movable collar 20, a fixed collar 21 and a telescopic member 22, wherein one end of the telescopic member 22 is fixed on a fixed plate 2 in one set of clamping assemblies, and the output end of the telescopic member 22 movably passes through the fixed plate 2 in another set of clamping assemblies (specifically, a perforation can be provided on the fixed plate 2), the fixed collar 21 is fixed on the output end of the telescopic member 22, and the movable collar 20 is installed on the output end of the telescopic member 22 in a spiral connection direction. The telescopic member 22 can be a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod or a cylinder.

[0061] Through the distance adjustment component, this solution can perform a tightening operation after the clamping components on both sides of the hob are installed, so as to stabilize the position of the hob in the two groups of clamping components, facilitating the subsequent transfer and transportation of the hob.

[0062] When the device is working, one group of clamping components can be placed horizontally, and then the hob is placed horizontally in this clamping component. In this way, the axial support plate can naturally support the cutting surface of the hob. By driving the movable plate in this clamping component, the radial ejector rod can be further driven to fix the hob. Then, the other group of clamping components is placed above the hob by using the hoisting mechanism, and the output end of the telescopic member is passed through the through hole on the fixing plate. Then, the movable collar 20 is installed, and this clamping component can perform radial positioning on the hob. Finally, when the telescopic member works, the hob can be effectively positioned.

[0063] The above-mentioned embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention cannot be limited by this. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present invention belong to the protection scope required by the present invention.
