Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing auxiliary processing, in particular to an anti-overturning tooling for an adjustable-angle spherical joint bearing. Background Technique
[0002] A shield machine is the core equipment for excavating tunnels by the shield method, which can complete various mechanical operations such as breaking soil at the face, discharging muck, and ventilation, and protect the safety of people and equipment operating underground. The cutter head is the main mechanism for cutting soil during the tunneling process of the shield machine, and plays a role in supporting the working face and ensuring stable cutting. The cutter head torque of the shield machine is an important parameter for designing the cutter head drive and manufacturing an economical shield, and is also a key parameter to ensure the normal propulsion of the shield.
[0003] The anti-torque ability of the shield machine is one of the key factors to ensure its stable construction under complex geological conditions. Anti-torque mainly involves the soil resistance encountered by the cutter head and the screw conveyor during the propulsion process of the shield machine, and how these resistances are converted into torque on the shield machine. The design of the shield machine needs to consider various factors to ensure its sufficient anti-torque ability.
[0004] The spherical joint bearing in the anti-torque system is the core component of this system. The bearing needs to offset all the torques. In this process, it is necessary to ensure the smooth transmission of the torque. At the same time, when the cutter head expands and contracts, it can automatically correct the deviation. The bearing needs to have a certain self-aligning function. When installing this spherical joint bearing, the inner and outer rings are prone to relative swing, that is, the inner ring of the bearing is prone to a certain angle of overturning relative to the outer ring. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] In view of the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides an anti-overturning tooling for an adjustable-angle spherical joint bearing, which can reduce the installation difficulty of the bearing and thus improve the installation efficiency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution provided by the utility model is an anti-overturning tooling for an adjustable-angle spherical joint bearing. The adjustable-angle spherical joint bearing includes an inner ring with spherical teeth on the outer diameter, a first outer ring with straight teeth on the inner diameter, and a second outer ring fixed to the first outer ring. The spherical teeth and the straight teeth are meshed with each other. The outer diameter surface of the inner ring is an arc surface, and the inner diameter surface of the second outer ring is a concave arc surface. The arc surface is matched with the concave arc surface. It includes more than one anti-overturning module. The anti-overturning module includes a body, an inner ring screw, and an outer ring screw. The body has a first connecting portion for fixing with the inner ring and a second connecting portion for fixing with the second outer ring. The inner ring screw passes through the first connecting portion and is connected to the threaded hole opened on the end face of the inner ring. The outer ring screw passes through the second connecting portion and is connected to the threaded hole opened on the end face of the second outer ring, so that the center of the arc surface where the second outer ring swings relative to the inner ring is concentric with the center of the spherical teeth of the inner ring.
[0007] Furthermore, the body is stepped.
[0008] Furthermore, the body includes an L-shaped plate and a bottom plate disposed at one end of the L-shaped plate. The first connecting portion is disposed on the L-shaped plate, and the second connecting portion is disposed on the bottom plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the L-shaped plate is attached to the inner ring end face.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the bottom plate is attached to the second outer ring end face.
[0011] First, place the bearing ring of the adjustable angle spherical joint bearing on the processing platform. After placing the anti-overturning module horizontally, along the circumferential direction of the outer ring, tighten the outer ring screws of the second connecting portion of the tooling, and install the inner ring screws onto the first connecting portion of the tooling so that it is level with the inner ring, the second outer ring, and the first outer ring of the bearing. Tighten the inner ring screws to fix the bearing.
[0012] The outer teeth of the inner ring of the bearing are spherical teeth, and the inner teeth of the first outer ring are straight teeth. Before installing the anti-overturning tooling, the spherical teeth and the straight teeth only ensure tooth engagement in the middle of the tooth width, and there are certain gaps at the upper and lower ends, which can ensure a certain angle of swing. The arc centers of the swing of the inner ring and the first outer ring are concentric with the center of the spherical teeth of the inner ring, ensuring concentric swing while ensuring engagement.
[0013] Advantages of the present utility model: After installing the tooling, it can prevent the upper and lower swing of the inner and outer rings of the bearing during the installation of the bearing, thereby preventing the overturning of the adjustable angle spherical joint bearing.

[0024] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the detailed implementation manner of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] See Figure 1 , which shows a structural schematic diagram of an anti-overturning tooling for an adjustable-angle spherical joint bearing in an embodiment of the present utility model. The adjustable-angle spherical joint bearing 10 includes an inner ring 11 with a spherical tooth 11a provided on the outer diameter, a first outer ring 12 with a straight tooth 12a provided on the inner diameter, and a second outer ring 13 fixed to the first outer ring 12. The spherical tooth 11a and the straight tooth 12a are engaged with each other. The outer diameter surface of the inner ring 11 is an arc surface 11b, and the inner diameter surface of the second outer ring 13 is an inner concave arc surface 13a. The arc surface 11b and the inner concave arc surface 13a are matched. It includes more than one anti-overturning module 100. The anti-overturning module 100 includes a body 110, an inner ring screw 120, and an outer ring screw 130. The body 110 has a first connecting part 111a for fixing to the inner ring 11 and a second connecting part 112a for fixing to the second outer ring 13. The inner ring screw 120 passes through the first connecting part 111a and is connected to a threaded hole opened on the end face 11c of the inner ring. The outer ring screw 130 passes through the second connecting part 112a and is connected to a threaded hole opened on the end face 13b of the second outer ring, so that the center of the arc of the swing of the second outer ring 13 relative to the inner ring 11 is concentric with the center of the spherical tooth 11a of the inner ring 11.
[0026] In one embodiment, the body 110 is in a stepped shape.
[0027] In one embodiment, the body 110 includes an L-shaped plate 111 and a bottom plate 112 provided at one end of the L-shaped plate 111. The first connecting part 111a is provided on the L-shaped plate 111, and the second connecting part 112a is provided on the bottom plate 112.
[0028] In one embodiment, the bottom of the L-shaped plate 111 is attached to the end face 11c of the inner ring.
[0029] In one embodiment, the bottom of the bottom plate 112 is attached to the end face of the second outer ring 13b.
[0030] First, place the bearing rings of the adjustable angle spherical joint bearing on the processing platform. After placing the anti-overturning module 100 horizontally, along the circumferential direction of the outer ring, tighten the outer ring screw 130 of the second tooling connecting portion 112a, and install the inner ring screw 120 onto the first connecting portion 111a of the tooling, so that it is kept in a horizontal state with the inner ring 11, the second outer ring 13, and the first outer ring 12 of the bearing. Tighten the inner ring screw 120 to fix the bearing.
[0031] The outer teeth of the inner ring 11 of the bearing are spherical teeth 11a, and the inner teeth of the first outer ring 12 are straight teeth 12a. Before installing the anti-overturning tooling, the spherical teeth 11a and the straight teeth 12a are only meshed at the middle of the tooth width, and there are certain gaps at the upper and lower ends, which can ensure a certain angle of swing. The arc centers of the inner ring 11 and the first outer ring 12 for swinging are concentric with the center of the spherical teeth 11a of the inner ring 11, which can ensure concentric swinging while ensuring meshing.
[0032] After installing the tooling, when installing the bearing, it can prevent the upper and lower swinging of the inner and outer rings of the bearing, and thus can prevent the adjustable angle spherical joint bearing from overturning.
