It uses a high-pressure water gun to spray high-pressure water jets to cut, crush and compact the base layer, turning the soil into particles, block materials or muddy water; using a vacuum pump as a power source and pneumatic conveying technology, it sucks particles, block materials, muddy water and other pipeline coverings from the excavation head.

However, in the relevant excavation and suction operations, it is found that although a high-pressure nozzle is installed on the suction excavation head to combine vacuum suction with high-pressure water crushing, this combination method can reduce the impact force dispersion of the water jet when crushing and sucking the ground of clay properties due to the multiple nozzles installed on the excavation head to achieve multi-point injection. If a single nozzle is installed for single-point injection, the water jet operation range is too small, which is not conducive to cutting, crushing and suctioning materials such as soil blocks. In both cases, the operation mode is not ideal and the efficiency needs to be improved.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop an excavation head structure that can avoid the dispersion of water jet impact force and ensure the operating range of the water jet. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the description indicating the orientation or positional relationship is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] As shown in the accompanying drawings, this embodiment provides an excavation head based on a rotating water jet, which includes a high-pressure water gun 1, a water pipe 2, a suction pipe 3, and a suction head 4. The suction head 4 is fixedly connected to the input end of the suction pipe 3, and the suction port 40 of the suction head 4 faces downward and is connected to the inside of the suction pipe 3. The high-pressure water gun 1 is fixedly connected to the suction pipe 3, and the output end of the high-pressure water gun 1 is connected to a high-pressure rotating nozzle 5 through the water pipe 2. The high-pressure rotating nozzle 5 includes a nozzle mounting seat 51 and a high-pressure rotating nozzle 52. The nozzle mounting seat 51 is fixedly connected to the suction head 4, and the high-pressure rotating nozzle 52 is fixed on the nozzle mounting seat 51 and faces the suction port 40.

[0030] The high pressure rotating nozzle 52 described in this embodiment is a prior art. This case aims to connect the high pressure rotating nozzle 52 with the suction head 4 through a specific connection relationship to solve the technical problem described in this case. Specifically, the high pressure rotating nozzle 52 is a commercially available TPR series rotating nozzle from the Italian AR (Aige) company. The exploded diagram of its structure is shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, the high-pressure rotary nozzle 52 includes a nozzle housing 521, and the front end of the nozzle housing 521 has an outlet 5210 for supplying water to be sprayed into the suction head 4, and the outlet 5210 has an annular ring 5211; in this embodiment, the nozzle housing 521 is fixed in the nozzle mounting seat 51 by the nozzle fixing plate 7 and the bolt 8, and is specifically connected to the top of the side wall of the suction head 4, and the intersection point of the central axis of the high-pressure rotary nozzle 52 and the end face where the suction port 40 is located is close to the center of the suction port 40; the high-pressure rotary nozzle 52 also includes a nozzle housing 521 disposed on the nozzle. The rotating nozzle inner core 522 in the housing 521 has a water outlet 5220 for spraying a single columnar water flow at its front end. The front end of the rotating nozzle inner core 522 is arranged at the outlet 5210 through an annular ring 5211. The rotating nozzle inner core 522 can rotate around the central axis of the high-pressure rotating nozzle 52 under the action of water pressure. During the rotation process, the front end of the rotating nozzle inner core 522 hits the annular ring. The rotation trajectory of the rotating nozzle inner core 522 is conical, and the cone angle of the water spray rotating cone formed is θ. Figure 2 As shown, the water spray cone surface of the rotating nozzle inner core 522 does not contact the inner wall of the suction head 4;

[0031] Correspondingly, the nozzle mounting seat 51 protrudes outward from the suction head 4, and a make way cavity 510 connected to the inner cavity of the suction head 4 is provided inside the nozzle mounting seat 51 corresponding to the water spray cone surface of the rotating nozzle inner core 522, so that the water spray cone surface of the rotating nozzle inner core 522 does not contact the inner wall of the nozzle mounting seat 51.

[0032] When the high-pressure rotary nozzle 52 is installed on the suction head, the bottom of the suction head 4 is the suction port 40, the nozzle mounting seat 51 is installed on the side wall of the suction head 4, and the high-pressure rotary nozzle 52 is connected to the top of the side wall of the suction head 4.

[0033] The suction head 4 is a trumpet-shaped structure. After the high-pressure rotary nozzle 52 is installed on the nozzle mounting seat 51, the central axis of the high-pressure rotary nozzle 52 and the central axis of the suction head 4 form an angle β. Figure 2 As shown; by setting β and θ to preset angles respectively, the water spray rotating cone surface of the rotating nozzle inner core 522 does not intersect with the inner wall of the suction head 4. At the same time, by the coordination of β and θ, the water spray rotating cone surface can form a larger cutting area at the intersection with the end face where the suction port 40 of the suction head 4 is located, that is, Figure 3 The area indicated by the dotted line.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom end of the suction head 4 is a sawtooth structure, the sawtooth structure is used to assist in breaking the soil blocks, and the lower end of the trumpet-shaped suction head is provided with a cone angle α. Figure 2 As shown, the cone angle α makes the wall thickness of the sawtooth structure tend to become thinner toward the suction port (i.e., the tip direction), so as to facilitate the crushing of soil blocks.

[0035] Before use, the output end of the suction pipe 3 is connected to the suction gas circuit through a connecting joint 10, and is connected to the pneumatic generating device. The suction head 4, the suction pipe 3, and the connecting joint 10 form a gas passage. The handle 6 is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the connecting joint 10, and the fixing plate 9 is fixed to the other side of the outer wall of the connecting joint 10. The high-pressure water gun 1 is fixed to the fixing plate 9 through the pressing plate 91 and the bolt 8, and is connected to the high-pressure water circuit. The lower end of the water pipe 2 is connected to the input end of the high-pressure rotating nozzle 52, and the upper end of the water pipe 2 is connected to the output end of the high-pressure water gun 1. The water pipe 2 is fixed to the outer wall of the suction pipe 3 through the pipe clamp 11; the high-pressure water gun 1, the water pipe 2, and the high-pressure rotating nozzle 52 form a high-pressure water passage.

[0036] During the excavation operation, the operator holds the handle 6 and the high-pressure water gun 1, pulls the trigger of the high-pressure water gun 1, and the high-pressure water passes through the water pipe 2 and the high-pressure rotating nozzle 52, and the single-point linear high-pressure water is sprayed out at high speed from the water spray port of the high-pressure rotating nozzle 52. At the same time, the rotating nozzle inner core 522 in the high-pressure rotating nozzle 52 also rotates, so that the high-speed single-point linear high-pressure water is also continuously rotated, forming a single-point spraying and rotating operation working state. In this way, the area cut by the high-pressure water at the end of the suction head 4 is just slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the suction pipe. For the position that is not easy to be crushed by the water jet, the sawtooth on the end face of the suction head can also be used for auxiliary crushing. Under the action of the rear-end pneumatic generating device, a high-speed negative pressure airflow is formed in the connecting head, the suction pipe, and the trumpet-shaped suction head. The operator manipulates the excavation head at the same time, so that the suction head 4 is close to the cut or crushed block material. Driven by the high-speed airflow, the block material and the surrounding particles enter the rear-end suction pipeline through the suction head 4, the suction pipe 3, and the connecting joint 10 to complete the operation.

[0037] In short, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present utility model should fall within the scope of the present utility model patent.
