[0020] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention proposes an open TBM main cutterhead structure, including:
[0022] The main cutter disc body 1 is provided with multiple cavities 2 and multiple automatic lubrication mechanisms. The automatic lubrication mechanism includes a starting component and a lubrication component. The starting component includes a guide rod 3 fixedly connected between the top surface and the inner bottom surface of the cavity 2. A moving block 4 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 3. A spring 5 is fixedly connected between the upper surface of the moving block 4 and the inner top surface of the cavity 2. The inner wall of the cavity 2 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 6 through a bearing. The circumference of the threaded rod 6 is fixedly connected to a gear 7. The side wall of the moving block 4 is fixedly connected to a rack 8. The gear 7 is meshed with the rack 8. The moving block 4 is located at one end of the guide rod 3 close to the center of the main cutter disc body 1. Multiple springs 5 are respectively sleeved on multiple guide rods 3. The gear 7 and the threaded rod 6 are concentrically arranged so that the subsequent lubrication component can operate normally.
[0023] The lubrication assembly includes a storage box 9 and a cylinder 10 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 2, a piston 11 is slidably connected to the cylinder 10, a connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the piston 11, the connecting rod 12 penetrates and slides and is connected to the side wall of the cylinder 10, a nut 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 6, a fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the nut 13, the side end of the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 14, a feed pipe is connected between the storage box 9 and the cylinder 10, a discharge pipe 15 is connected to the side wall of the cylinder 10, and the feed pipe and the discharge pipe 15 are respectively arranged on the cylinder On both sides of 10, one-way valves are provided in the feed pipe and the discharge pipe 15. The one-way valve of the feed pipe allows the lubricating oil in the storage box 9 to enter the cylinder 10 only from the storage box 9, and the one-way valve of the discharge pipe 15 allows the lubricating oil to flow in the discharge pipe 15 only from the cylinder 10 to the output end of the discharge pipe 15. The nut 13 is located at the end of the threaded rod 6 close to the cylinder 10, and the side wall of the piston 11 fits tightly against the inner wall of the cylinder 10, so that there is good sealing between the piston 11 and the cylinder 10, thereby allowing the lubrication component to operate normally.
[0024] The detailed working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0025] During use, after the installation of the main cutterhead body 1 and the installation of the tunnel boring machine equipment is completed and the main cutterhead body 1 is put into use, the main cutterhead body 1 contacts the rock layer and soil to be excavated, and rotates under the drive of the tunnel boring machine equipment. Here, taking an automatic lubrication mechanism as an example, the main cutterhead body 1 rotates. Under the influence of centrifugal force, the moving block 4 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 5, compresses it, and slides along the guide rod 3. When the moving block 4 slides, it drives the rack 8 to move, thereby causing the rack 8 to mesh with the gear 7 for transmission, thereby causing the gear 7 and the threaded rod 6 to rotate;
[0026] The threaded rod 6 rotates, and the nut 13 is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 6 under the restriction of the cylinder 10, the piston 11 and the connecting rod 12, and then moves along the threaded rod 6. At this time, the piston 11 is driven to move by the connecting rod 12. The storage box 9 is filled with lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil reaches the cylinder 10 through the feed pipe. The piston 11 moves in the cylinder 10, compressing the lubricating oil in the cylinder 10 and discharging it through the discharge pipe 15. The output end of the discharge pipe 15 faces the hob on the main cutter head body 1. Multiple automatic lubrication mechanisms cooperate with each other to align the main cutter head during operation. The multiple rollers on the main body 1 are lubricated. When the main cutter disc body 1 stops rotating, the moving block 4 returns under the elastic force of the spring 5, causing the nut 13 and the piston 11 to move in the opposite direction to achieve reset. At this time, the piston 11 completes the loading of the cylinder 10 through air pressure, and the lubricating oil reaches the cylinder 10 from the storage box 9 through the feed pipe, which is convenient for the next lubrication operation. Through the lubrication component, the rollers on the main cutter disc body 1 can be lubricated conveniently, which is more efficient, safe and convenient. At the same time, the service life of the multiple rollers on the main cutter disc body 1 can be improved through lubrication and maintenance.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
