[0002] Floating excavation equipment is a kind of equipment specially used for underwater excavation and engineering operations, usually used in deep water areas or environments where underwater operations are required. Their main feature is the ability to maintain stability underwater and effectively carry out excavation and engineering operations. Among them, the steering device for floating excavation equipment is to facilitate the stable steering of floating excavation equipment to meet the operation requirements in different directions.
[0003] However, the existing steering devices for floating excavation equipment have the following disadvantages. Since the floating excavation equipment is connected to the steering device through gears, when the floating excavation equipment does not need to steer, there is no structure for re-limiting the gears. The hydraulic system for limiting the gears of the floating excavation equipment may malfunction, resulting in the gears being prone to loosening and rotating, affecting the working stability of the floating excavation equipment. Therefore, the existing steering devices for floating excavation equipment need to be improved. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed Embodiment
[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a steering device for a floating digging device, including a fixed chassis 1 and a slewing frame 3. A support 2 is fixedly installed above the fixed chassis 1, and the slewing frame 3 is fixed inside the support 2. A limiting mechanism 5 is installed inside the fixed chassis 1, and a gear disk 8 is meshed and connected inside the slewing frame 3.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , one side of the limiting mechanism 5 is connected to the gear disk 8. The limiting mechanism 5 includes a limiting frame 501, a connecting rod 502, a pressing block 503, a buffer spring 504 and a two-way electric push rod 505. The two-way electric push rod 505 is installed in the built-in groove of the fixed chassis 1. The connecting rod 502 slides through the upper part of the fixed chassis 1. The upper part of the connecting rod 502 is connected to the limiting frame 501. One side of the limiting frame 501 is meshed and connected with the gear disk 8. One end of the connecting rod 502 close to the two-way electric push rod 505 is fixedly connected to the pressing block 503. A buffer spring 504 is sleeved outside the connecting rod 502. The two ends of the two-way electric push rod 505 close to the pressing block 503 are installed with rollers through movable shafts. The cross-sectional shape of the pressing block 503 is trapezoidal. The shape of the limiting frame 501 is annular, and tooth blocks are arranged in an annular distribution on the outside of the limiting frame 501.
[0023] During specific implementation, since the floating digging device is connected to the steering device through a gear, relative movement is carried out with the steering device through the rotation of the gear, so that the gear rotates on the steering device to achieve the purpose of steering. However, when the floating digging device does not need to steer, there is no structure for re-limiting the gear. The hydraulic system for limiting the gear of the floating digging device may malfunction, resulting in the gear being prone to loosening and rotation, affecting the working stability of the floating digging device. When steering is not required, the two-way electric push rod 505 can be extended towards both ends to push the rollers. The rollers roll on the inclined surface of the pressing block 503, so that the pressing block 503 is squeezed and pushes the connecting rod 502 upward, and the buffer spring 504 is squeezed. Subsequently, the connecting rod 502 pushes the limiting frame 501 upward, and the limiting frame 501 restricts the position of the gear disk 8, which can prevent the gear from loosening when the hydraulic system of the floating digging device malfunctions, improving the working stability of the steering device for the floating digging device.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , on the upper surface of the support 2, ball bearings 4 are annularly distributed. Below the toothed disc 8, a guide rod 6 is connected. Above the fixed chassis 1 near the guide rod 6, a guide groove 7 is provided. The guide rod 6 and the guide groove 7 are slidably connected, and the structure of the guide groove 7 is annular.
[0025] During specific implementation, since the bottom of the amphibious excavation equipment contacts the steering device, wear is likely to occur on the surface where the steering device contacts the amphibious excavation equipment, affecting the steering operation. The annularly distributed ball bearings 4 can reduce wear and improve the steering smoothness. Moreover, the guide rod 6 below the toothed disc 8 is located in the guide groove 7. When the toothed disc 8 rotates, it drives the guide rod 6 to rotate annularly in the guide groove 7, facilitating the stable rotation of the toothed disc 8 and improving the practicality of the steering device for amphibious excavation equipment.
[0026] Working principle: When using the steering device for amphibious excavation equipment, first, the amphibious excavation equipment and the steering device are connected. The hydraulic system of the amphibious excavation equipment drives the toothed disc 8 to rotate. The toothed disc 8 is meshed and connected with the teeth of the slewing frame 3, causing the toothed disc 8 to rotate annularly inside the slewing frame 3, and at the same time driving the guide rod 6 to rotate in the guide groove 7. When steering is not required, the position of the toothed disc 8 can be restricted by the limiting mechanism 5 to prevent loosening, improving the working stability and practicality of the steering device for amphibious excavation equipment. The content not described in detail in this description belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
[0027] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
