Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transmission devices, in particular to a flywheel torque increasing system. Background Art
[0002] Roadheaders are large-scale machines used for tunneling in coal and non-coal mines. Their cutting mechanism is the primary working component, consisting primarily of a cutting head and a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor acts as a power output, transmitting power to the cutting head, which then rotates to cut coal and rock.
[0003] However, during actual operation, you may encounter some hard rock. When the cutting drum of the cutting head contacts the rock, the resistance will increase instantly, which will cause the hydraulic motor to reduce speed or even jam, seriously affecting the progress of the work. In addition, when encountering a drastic change in resistance, the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic motor will become unstable, causing vibration in the system and shortening the service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a flywheel torque increasing system which can instantly increase the torque to avoid the cutting head from being stuck.
[0005] The technical solution of the present utility model is to provide a flywheel torque-increasing system with the following structure: it includes a driving motor and a cutting head, the driving motor is connected to the cutting head in a transmission manner, and is used to drive the cutting head to rotate; the end of the driving motor away from the cutting head is also connected to a torque-increasing device; the torque-increasing device includes a casing and a flywheel, the casing is connected to the driving motor, the flywheel is rotatably connected in the casing, and the driving motor is connected to the flywheel in a transmission manner, and is used to drive the flywheel to rotate.
[0006] After adopting the above structure, the flywheel torque increasing system of the utility model has the following advantages compared with the existing technology:
[0007] The utility model connects a torque increasing device to a driving motor. When driving the cutting head to rotate, the driving motor drives a flywheel in the torque increasing device to rotate. The flywheel is equivalent to an energy storage mechanism and can store huge rotational inertia. When the cutting head encounters rock resistance, the flywheel releases energy to increase the instantaneous torque of the cutting head, which can reach several times the torque of the driving motor, so that the cutting head maintains a constant speed, avoids the cutting head from getting stuck, improves work efficiency, and makes the cutting head work more smoothly.
[0008] In existing designs, the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic motor typically fluctuates between approximately 3500 psi (maximum under load) and 1000 psi (under no-load conditions). With the addition of the torque multiplier 3, the hydraulic pressure can be maintained within a constant range of approximately 2000-2500 psi, regardless of load conditions. Therefore, the present invention can also reduce system vibration by stabilizing the hydraulic pressure, reducing fatigue of hydraulic components (such as hoses, pumps, motors, and valves) caused by pressure fluctuations, and reducing the incidence of failures.
[0009] Preferably, the torque increasing device further comprises a speed increasing gear set, which is disposed within the housing and is in transmission connection with the drive motor and the flywheel, for increasing the speed of the flywheel. The speed increasing gear set can further increase the speed of the flywheel, allowing the flywheel to store more kinetic energy.
[0010] Preferably, the speed-increasing gear set includes a first speed-increasing gear and a second speed-increasing gear. The first speed-increasing gear is rotatably connected within the housing, and the second speed-increasing gear is disposed on the rotating shaft of the flywheel. The first speed-increasing gear is respectively in transmission connection with the drive motor and the second speed-increasing gear. The first speed-increasing gear has an outer diameter larger than that of the second speed-increasing gear and meshes with the second speed-increasing gear to increase the speed of the flywheel.
[0011] Preferably, the speed-increasing gear set further includes a speed-increasing idler gear, which is disposed between the drive motor and the first speed-increasing gear and is in transmission connection with the drive motor and the first speed-increasing gear, respectively. The speed-increasing idler gear is in transmission connection with the speed-increasing gear shaft of the first speed-increasing gear, and the outer diameter of the speed-increasing idler gear is larger than the outer diameter of the speed-increasing gear shaft of the first speed-increasing gear, thereby further increasing the speed of the flywheel.
[0012] Preferably, two support frames are provided within the housing, symmetrically arranged and extending along the length of the housing; the speed-increasing idler gear, the first speed-increasing gear, and the second speed-increasing gear are rotatably connected to the support frames and positioned between the two support frames, with the flywheel positioned outside the two support frames. This allows the speed-increasing gear set to be separated from the flywheel, reducing the risk of malfunction.
[0013] Preferably, there are two flywheels, which are symmetrically arranged in the housing. The two symmetrical flywheels will be more stable when rotating, avoiding vibration of the device.
[0014] Preferably, a plurality of cutting drums are distributed on the cutting head, an output wheel is provided in the cutting head, and the output wheel is transmission-connected to the driving wheel of the driving motor via an idler wheel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The end of the driving motor 1 away from the cutting head 2 is also connected to a torque increasing device 3; the torque increasing device 3 includes a casing 31 and a flywheel 32, the casing 31 is connected to the driving motor 1, and the flywheel 32 is rotatably connected in the casing 31. The driving motor 1 is connected to the flywheel 32 for driving the flywheel 32 to rotate.
[0024] The utility model connects the torque increasing device 3 to the driving motor 1. When driving the cutting head 2 to rotate, the driving motor 1 also drives the flywheel 32 in the torque increasing device 3 to rotate. The flywheel 32 is equivalent to an energy storage mechanism and can store huge rotational inertia. When the cutting head 2 encounters rock resistance, the flywheel 32 releases energy to increase the instantaneous torque of the cutting head 2, which can reach several times the torque of the driving motor 1, so that the cutting head 2 maintains a constant speed, avoids the cutting head 2 from getting stuck, improves work efficiency, and makes the cutting head 2 work more smoothly.
[0025] In existing designs, the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic motor typically fluctuates between approximately 3500 psi (maximum under load) and 1000 psi (under no-load conditions). With the addition of the torque multiplier 3, the hydraulic pressure can be maintained within a constant range of approximately 2000-2500 psi, regardless of load conditions. Therefore, the present invention can also reduce system vibration by stabilizing the hydraulic pressure, reducing fatigue of hydraulic components (such as hoses, pumps, motors, and valves) caused by pressure fluctuations, and reducing the incidence of failures.
[0026] The torque increasing device 3 further includes a speed increasing gear set 33 . The speed increasing gear set 33 is disposed in the housing 31 and is in transmission connection with the drive motor 1 and the flywheel 32 for increasing the rotational speed of the flywheel 32 .
[0027] The speed-increasing gear set 33 includes a first speed-increasing gear 331 and a second speed-increasing gear 332. The first speed-increasing gear 331 is rotatably connected to the housing 31, and the second speed-increasing gear 332 is disposed on the rotating shaft of the flywheel 32. The first speed-increasing gear 331 is in driving connection with the drive motor 1, and the second speed-increasing gear 332 is in driving connection with the flywheel 32. The first speed-increasing gear 331 has a larger outer diameter than the second speed-increasing gear 332 and meshes with the second speed-increasing gear 332 to increase the speed of the flywheel 32.

The speed-increasing idler gear 333 is in transmission connection with the speed-increasing gear shaft of the first speed-increasing gear 331, and the outer diameter of the speed-increasing idler gear 333 is larger than the outer diameter of the speed-increasing gear shaft of the first speed-increasing gear 331, thereby further increasing the rotational speed of the flywheel 32.
[0029] The speed-increasing gear set 33 can further increase the rotation speed of the flywheel 32 , allowing the flywheel 32 to store more kinetic energy.
[0030] Two support frames 311 are symmetrically arranged within the housing 31 and extend along the length of the housing 31. An idler gear 333, a first speed-increasing gear 331, and a second speed-increasing gear 332 are rotatably connected to the support frames 311 and positioned between the two support frames 311. The flywheel 32 is positioned outside the two support frames 311. This separates the speed-increasing gear set 33 from the flywheel 32, reducing the risk of malfunction.
[0031] There are two flywheels 32, which are symmetrically arranged in the housing 31. The two symmetrical flywheels 32 are more stable when rotating, avoiding vibration of the device.
