[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0028] The cutting head protection device of a roadheader includes a machine body 1. A first circular groove 11 is formed inside the machine body 1. Receiving grooves 12 are formed around the inner periphery of the machine body 1. First through-stop holes 13 are formed around the inner wall of the first circular groove 11. An annular groove 14 is formed inside the machine body 1, and the annular groove 14 is located at the rear end of the plurality of receiving grooves 12. A plurality of first through-stop holes 13 are formed at one end close to the axis inside the receiving groove 12, and the first through-stop holes 13 penetrate into the inside of the receiving groove 12. A plurality of second through-stop holes 15 are formed at one end far from the axis inside the receiving groove 12. A protection component 2 is movably connected inside the plurality of receiving grooves 12. The protection component 2 includes a protection cylinder 21 movably connected inside the receiving groove 12. A second spring 25 is movably connected to the rear end of the protection cylinder 21. A plurality of bumps 211 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protection cylinder 21. The protection component 2 further includes a plurality of first moving cavities 22 formed at the front end inside the machine body 1. A counterweight rod 23 is movably connected inside each of the plurality of first moving cavities 22, and the counterweight rod 23 passes through the first through-stop holes 13 into the inside of the receiving groove 12. A plurality of sliding grooves 24 are formed at one end close to the axis inside the receiving groove 12;

[0029] A plurality of fixing blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the front end of the machine body 1. A sliding rod 31 is movably connected inside each of the plurality of fixing blocks 3. A first spring 231 is movably connected between the outer parts of the plurality of sliding rods 31 and the outer parts of the plurality of counterweight rods 23. The sliding rod 31 passes through the inside of the receiving groove 12 through the second through-stop holes 15. The protection cylinder 21 and the receiving groove 12 are in sliding fit. The inner diameter of the protection cylinder 21 is larger than the outer diameter of the cutting head of the device. The bumps 211 and the sliding grooves 24 are in sliding fit. The elastic forces of the plurality of first springs 231 are respectively greater than the resistances received by the counterweight rod 23 and the sliding rod 31. The elastic force of the second spring 25 is greater than the resistance received by the protection cylinder 21.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, before the roadheader works, the body 1 at the front end of the device is fixedly attached to the output shaft of the roadheader through the first circular groove 11. It should be noted that multiple fixing blocks 3 and components outside the body 1 are all located at the rear end of multiple first moving chambers 22. When the roadheader is started, the output shaft of the roadheader rotates and drives the body 1 and external components to rotate. At this time, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the counterweight rods 23 inside the multiple first moving chambers 22 is greater than the elastic force of the first springs 231 inside the first moving chambers 22, causing the multiple counterweight rods 23 to move towards the end far from the axis, and the counterweight rods 23 pass through the first through-holes 13. At this time, the protective cylinder 21 inside the receiving groove 12 is restricted by the counterweight rods 23, thereby preventing the protective cylinder 21 from moving forward along the receiving groove 12. When the roadheader finishes working and the output shaft stops rotating, at this time, the counterweight rods 23 inside the multiple first moving chambers 22 move towards the end close to the axis under the action of the elastic force of the first springs 231. At this time, the protective cylinder 21 inside the receiving groove 12 moves towards the front end of the receiving groove 12 through the cooperation between the convex blocks 211 and the sliding grooves 24 under the elastic force of the second spring 25, so that the protective cylinder 21 completely covers the cutting head of the device, thereby preventing the operator from touching the just-worked cutting head and avoiding being scalded or scratched by the high-temperature cutting head. When tunneling work needs to be carried out, the protective cylinder 21 is pushed back into the receiving groove 12 by hand. When the protective cylinder 21 is completely pushed back into the receiving groove 12, the sliding rods 31 inside the multiple fixing blocks 3 move into the receiving groove 12 through the second through-holes 15 under the elastic force of the first springs 231, thereby preventing the protective cylinder 21 from extending towards the front end of the receiving groove 12 under the influence of the elastic force of the second spring 25. When tunneling work is carried out again, the roadheader is started, and the output shaft of the roadheader drives the body 1 to rotate. At this time, the sliding rods 31 inside the multiple fixing blocks 3 outside the body 1 move towards the end far from the axis under the influence of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, so as to facilitate the next extension of the protective cylinder 21 for protection work. Furthermore, by extending the protective cylinder 21 to wrap the cutting head of the roadheader, it can be achieved that when the roadheader is in a stopped state, the operator cannot touch the exposed cutting head, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the operator, and further effectively protecting the cutting head of the roadheader and improving the service life of the equipment.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 And Figure 3As shown in the figure, a plurality of bases 4 are evenly and fixedly connected to the outside of the machine body 1. A fan 41 is movably connected inside each of the plurality of bases 4. A third spring 42 is movably connected between the plurality of fans 41 and the machine body 1. A ring 52 is movably connected inside the annular groove 14. The rear end of the ring 52 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 5. A second circular groove 51 is provided inside the cylinder 5. The rear end of the cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 53. A plurality of clamping grooves 531 are evenly provided inside the mounting bracket 53. A filter plate 54 is movably connected inside each of the plurality of clamping grooves 531. The elastic force of each of the plurality of third springs 42 is greater than the gravity of each of the plurality of fans 41. The fan 41 can be turned 90 degrees through the base 4. The inner diameter of the second circular groove 51 is greater than the inner diameter of the first circular groove 11. The diameter of the ring 52 is smaller than the inner diameter of the annular groove 14.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder 5 is fixed on the roadheader, so that the cylinder 5 and its components are fixed and immovable when the output shaft rotates. First, when the roadheader is started, the output shaft of the roadheader rotates and drives the machine body 1 to rotate. The rotation of the machine body 1 drives the base 4 and the fan 41 to rotate. When all the plurality of fans 41 rotate, when the centrifugal force generated by the fan 41 during rotation is greater than the third spring 42 at the rear end of the plurality of fans 41, at this time, the fan 41 rotates 90 degrees with the base 4 as the axis. When the plurality of fans 41 rotate continuously, the air flow at the rear ends of the plurality of fans 41 is reduced, and a negative pressure is formed, sucking the dust generated by the drilling of the cutting head of the roadheader to the rear ends of the plurality of fans 41. When the dust sucked to the rear ends of the plurality of fans 41 contacts the filter plate 54 inside the plurality of clamping grooves 531, the dust is adsorbed by the filter plate 54, so as to adsorb and clean the dust generated when the roadheader is working, thereby avoiding health hazards to the staff and ensuring the safety and high efficiency of the roadheader's working activities.

[0033] Working principle: When the roadheader is started, the output shaft of the roadheader rotates and drives the body 1 and the external components to rotate. At this time, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the counterweight rods 23 inside the multiple first moving chambers 22 is greater than the elastic force of the first springs 231 inside the first moving chambers 22, causing the multiple counterweight rods 23 to move towards the end far from the axis. That is, the counterweight rods 23 pass through the first through-hole 13. At this time, the casing 21 inside the receiving groove 12 is restricted by the counterweight rods 23, thereby preventing the casing 21 from moving forward along the receiving groove 12. When the roadheader finishes working and the output shaft stops rotating, at this time, the counterweight rods 23 inside the multiple first moving chambers 22 move towards the end close to the axis under the elastic force of the first springs 231. At this time, the casing 21 inside the receiving groove 12 moves towards the front end of the receiving groove 12 through the cooperation between the convex blocks 211 and the sliding grooves 24 under the elastic force of the second spring 25, so that the casing 21 completely covers the cutting head of the device, thereby preventing operators from touching the just-worked cutting head and avoiding being scalded or scratched by the high-temperature cutting head.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
