Detailed implementation manners
[0026] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the solution of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that, without conflict, the implementation manners and features in the implementation manners of the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, but the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the implementation manners in the specification are only a part of the implementation manners of the present invention, rather than all of the implementation manners.
[0028] Combined with Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the leak-proof and grout-stop plate with quick installation and adjustment provided by the implementation manner of the present invention includes a tail shield 1 and a grout-stop plate 3. A grout-stop plate installation groove is longitudinally opened on the upper surface of the tail shield 1. The grout-stop plate 3 is installed in the grout-stop plate installation groove in a lifting manner. The position of the grout-stop plate 3 after descending in the tail shield 1 is position one, and the position of the grout-stop plate 3 after ascending in the tail shield 1 is position two. Two T-shaped connection cavities are horizontally opened on the side wall of the tail shield 1. The two T-shaped connection cavities are distributed up and down. The wide end of the T-shaped connection cavity is communicated with the grout-stop plate installation groove. The first elastic clamping and fixing component 5 is slidably assembled in the lower T-shaped connection cavity, and the fixed end of the first elastic clamping and fixing component 5 is clamped with the grout-stop plate 3 at position one. The second elastic clamping and fixing component 4 is slidably assembled in the upper T-shaped connection cavity, and the fixed end of the second elastic clamping and fixing component 4 is clamped with the grout-stop plate 3 at position two.
[0029] Among them, a clamping groove 32 is opened on the grout-stop plate 3, which is clamped with the first elastic clamping and fixing component 5 or the second elastic clamping and fixing component 4. The structure of the second elastic clamping and fixing component 4 is the same as that of the first elastic clamping and fixing component 5. The first elastic clamping and fixing component 5 includes a connecting rod 51, which is slidably connected in the T-shaped connection cavity. The connecting rod 51 is fixedly connected with a fixed block 52. The fixed block 52 is located at the wide end of the T-shaped connection cavity. The fixed block 52 is clamped with the clamping groove 32. A elastic clamping component is installed between the connecting rod 51 and the T-shaped connection cavity.
[0030] Thus, when the grout stop plate 3 enters the shield tail 1 at position one, the first elastic clamping and fixing component 5 is driven to be clamped and fixed with the grout stop plate 3. When adjustment is required, the clamping state between the first elastic clamping and fixing component 5 and the grout stop plate 3 is cancelled, the grout stop plate 3 is moved to position two, and the second elastic clamping and fixing component 4 is driven to be clamped and fixed with the grout stop plate 3. When replacement is needed, the clamping and fixing of the first elastic clamping and fixing component 5 and the second elastic clamping and fixing component 4 with the grout stop plate 3 are cancelled, achieving the rapid installation and adjustment of the grout stop plate 3, ensuring the product quality and improving the work efficiency.
[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the elastic clamping component includes a groove 511 formed on the connecting rod 51, a spring 512, one end of which is fixedly connected to the groove 511, a circular arc-shaped convex block 513 fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 512, and a circular arc-shaped groove 514 formed in the T-shaped connection cavity, with the circular arc-shaped convex block 513 being clamped with the circular arc-shaped groove 514.
[0032] Wherein, a handle is installed on the connecting rod 51.
[0033] Thus, when the grout stop plate 3 enters the shield tail 1 at position one, the connecting rod 51 is pushed to move the fixing block 52. When the circular arc-shaped convex block 513 on the connecting rod 51 moves to the circular arc-shaped groove 6, it moves into the circular arc-shaped groove 6 due to the elastic force of the spring 512, and the movement of the connecting rod 51 is stopped. The moved fixing block 52 is clamped and fixed with the grout stop plate 3.
[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, a knob 6 is rotatably connected to the shield tail 1. A circular ring-shaped connecting shaft is installed on the knob 6. The circular ring-shaped connecting shaft passes through the outer wall of the shield tail 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating chuck 7. The rotating chuck 7 is a circular chuck. There is a vacancy on the circular ring-shaped connecting shaft. An opening 71 is provided on the rotating chuck 7. The opening 71 communicates with the vacancy on the circular ring-shaped connecting shaft. A semi-circular opening 711 is formed on one side of the opening 71. The semi-circular opening 711 is concentric with the rotating chuck 7. A support column 31 is installed on the grout stop plate 3. After the grout stop plate 3 rises, the rotating chuck 7 rotates 180°. The support column 31 passes through the semi-circular opening 711 and fits with the side of the semi-circular opening 711 away from the connection with the opening 71. After the rotating chuck 7 is rotated and reset, when the grout stop plate 3 descends, the rotating chuck 7 rotates 180°. The support column 31 passes through the opening 71 and fits with the center of the opening 71.
[0035] Wherein, the protruding direction of the surface of the knob 6 is the same as that of the opening 71.
[0036] Thus, when the moved fixed block 52 is clamped and fixed to the grout stop plate 3, at this time, the support column 31 on the grout stop plate 3 moves into the opening 71 of the rotary chuck 7. Then, rotate the knob 7 to drive the rotary chuck 7 to rotate. When the opening 71 rotates to 180°, stop rotating. The rotary chuck 7 further fixes the grout stop plate 3. When the grout stop plate 3 is moved to position two, reset the rotary chuck 7. At this time, the grout stop plate 3 is located at the connection of the opening 71 and the semi-circular opening 711. At this time, the rotary chuck 7 rotates 180° and passes through the semi-circular opening 711 to fit with the side of the semi-circular opening 711 away from its connection with the opening 71.
[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, it further includes a clamping mechanism 2, which is installed on the shield tail 1. The clamping mechanism 2 includes a slotted groove 21, which is opened on the upper surface of the shield tail 1, a screw 22, which is horizontally rotatably connected in the slotted groove 21, and clamping rods 23. The number of the clamping rods 23 is two, and they are symmetrically installed on both sides of the grout stop plate installation groove. One end of one clamping rod 23 is in contact with the grout stop plate 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the shield tail 1. One end of the other clamping rod 23 is in contact with the grout stop plate 3, and the other end is fixedly connected with a connecting block 231. The connecting block 231 is threadedly connected with the screw 22. A rotating handle 24 is installed on the outer wall of the shield tail 1. The connecting end of the rotating handle 24 passes through the outer wall of the shield tail 1 and is fixedly connected to the screw 22.
[0038] Wherein, the surface of the rotating handle 24 is provided with concave and convex textures, and the included angles between the two clamping rods 23 and the upper surface of the shield tail 1 are both 60°.
[0039] The following combines the attached Figures 1 - 5 to describe a specific embodiment of the present invention:
[0040] As Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, it includes a shield tail 1 and a grout stop plate 3. A longitudinal grout stop plate installation groove is provided on the upper surface of the shield tail 1. The grout stop plate 3 is installed in the grout stop plate installation groove in a lifting manner. The position of the grout stop plate 3 after descending in the shield tail 1 is position one, and the position of the grout stop plate 3 after ascending in the shield tail 1 is position two. Two T-shaped connection cavities are horizontally provided on the side wall of the shield tail 1, and the two T-shaped connection cavities are distributed vertically. The wide end of the T-shaped connection cavity is communicated with the grout stop plate installation groove. The first elastic clamping and fixing component 5 is slidably assembled in the lower T-shaped connection cavity, and the fixed end of the first elastic clamping and fixing component 5 is clamped with the grout stop plate 3 at position one. The second elastic clamping and fixing component 4 is slidably assembled in the upper T-shaped connection cavity, and the fixed end of the second elastic clamping and fixing component 4 is clamped with the grout stop plate 3 at position two. A knob 6 is rotatably connected to the shield tail 1. An annular connecting shaft is installed on the knob 6. The annular connecting shaft passes through the outer wall of the shield tail 1 and is fixedly connected with a rotating chuck 7. The rotating chuck 7 is a circular chuck. There is a vacancy on the annular connecting shaft. An opening 71 is provided on the rotating chuck 7. The opening 71 is communicated with the vacancy on the annular connecting shaft. A semi-circular opening 711 is provided on one side of the opening 71. The semi-circular opening 711 is concentric with the rotating chuck 7. A support column 31 is installed on the grout stop plate 3. After the grout stop plate 3 ascends, the rotating chuck 7 rotates 180°. The support column 31 passes through the semi-circular opening 711 and fits with the side of the semi-circular opening 711 away from the side where it is communicated with the opening 71. After rotating and resetting the rotating chuck 7, after the grout stop plate 3 descends, the rotating chuck 7 rotates 180°. The support column 31 passes through the opening 71 and fits with the center of the opening 71.
[0041] During actual use, when the grout stop plate 3 enters the shield tail 1 at position one, push the connecting rod 51 to move the fixing block 52. When the arc-shaped convex block 513 on the connecting rod 51 moves to the arc-shaped groove 6, due to the elastic force of the spring 512, it moves into the arc-shaped groove 6 and stops moving the connecting rod 51. The moved fixing block 52 is clamped and fixed with the grout stop plate 3. At this time, the support column 31 on the grout stop plate 3 moves into the opening 71 of the rotating chuck 7. Rotate the knob 7 to drive the rotating chuck 7 to rotate. When the opening 71 rotates to 180°, stop rotating. The rotating chuck 7 further fixes the grout stop plate 3. At the same time, rotate the rotating handle 24 to drive the clamping rod 23 to move horizontally, so that the clamping rod 23 fits tightly with the grout stop plate 3. When replacement is required, pull out the handle to drive the fixing block 52 to reset, release the fixed state of the grout stop plate 3, move the grout stop plate 3 to position two, and use the same method to drive the second elastic clamping and fixing component 4 to fix the grout plate 3. When replacing the grout stop plate 3, only need to rotate the rotating handle 24, pull out the connecting rod 51 and make the opening 71 of the rotating chuck 7 face vertically upward to replace the grout stop plate 3, which realizes the rapid installation and adjustment of the grout stop plate 3, ensures the quality of the product, and improves the work efficiency.
