Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of trenching machine accessories, in particular to a trenching machine composite drive shaft. Background Art
[0002] Trenchers are widely used mechanical equipment for trenching and grooving, including wheeled and chain trenchers. Wheeled trenchers dig using a rotating wheel disc, but their complex structure leads to high manufacturing and maintenance costs, resulting in low trenching efficiency. Chain trenchers, on the other hand, have a simpler structure, produce trenches of consistent depth and width, and offer high excavation speeds and low maintenance costs, making them widely used. A conventional chain trencher consists of a cutting chain system, a horizontal auger, and a trolley. The cutting chain system is connected to the trolley at one end and faces outward at the other end. The cutting chain cuts the ground and transfers the cut soil to the trolley. The horizontal auger, located to the side of the connection between the cutting chain system and the trolley, transfers the cut soil to the side to prevent it from backfilling the excavated trench. The cutting chain system is connected to the trolley via a drive shaft, which also provides torque to the cutting chain system, enabling its operation. The horizontal auger, on the other hand, has a separate power source. Therefore, the existing trenching machine needs to start the cutting chain system and the horizontal auger in sequence, which is very troublesome to operate. Utility Model Content
