Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of circular shearing machine knife changing equipment and relates to a knife locking component of a circular shearing machine. Background Art

[0002] A circular shear, also known as a disc shear or disc shear, is a mechanical device that uses a rotating disc cutter to cut materials. When cutting different types of profiles, the cutter must be replaced to ensure shear quality. However, current circular shears require a cumbersome tool lock during the tool change process, wasting considerable time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a knife locking assembly for a circular shearing machine that can improve the convenience of knife changing.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: the knife locking assembly of the circular shearing machine is characterized in that it includes a knife locking cylinder, a knife locking shaft and a knife body locking head are provided in the knife locking cylinder, the outer end of the knife locking shaft is connected to the linear drive unit in the rotating body, the outer end of the knife body locking head is fixed on one end of the knife body, and the outer diameter of the knife body is larger than the outer diameter of the knife body locking head, a knife locking hole is provided on the inner end of the knife locking shaft, a locking ring is provided on the outer end of the locking hole, a plurality of card flap inlets distributed along the circumference of the inner hole are provided on the inner wall of the locking ring, a plurality of card flaps distributed along the circumference are provided on the knife body locking head, the number of the card flaps and the card flap inlets are equal and one-to-one corresponding, and a plurality of card flap locking grooves equal to the number of the card flaps distributed along the circumference are provided on the inner surface of the locking ring.

[0005] After the flap of the knife body locking head passes through the flap entrance, the knife body locking head or the knife locking shaft rotates, and the rotation makes the flap correspond to the circumference of the flap locking groove, and finally it is locked by the linear drive unit, so that the locking can be completed quickly. At this time, the end of the tool is against one end of the knife locking cylinder; thus, the tool can be changed quickly and accurately, which improves work efficiency and is particularly suitable for scenarios where frequent tool replacement is required; and the tool can be firmly locked during use, avoiding accidental falling off due to operational errors and increasing operational safety; the one-to-one correspondence design of the flap and the flap entrance ensures the accuracy of tool locking and reduces failures or damage caused by poor matching; the overall design is compact, reduces space occupancy, is suitable for various working environments, and improves the adaptability of the equipment.

[0006] In the aforementioned circular shears' blade lock assembly, the linear drive unit comprises a rotating, telescopic cylinder fixed to a rotating body, the output end of which is connected to the outer end of the blade lock shaft. Locking the blade through the rotating, telescopic cylinder ensures reliability during use, tightly securing the blade to the blade lock cylinder and preventing it from falling off during rotation.

[0007] In the aforementioned circular shears blade lock assembly, the blade lock includes a base connected to one end of the blade, a pin disposed on the base, the inner end of the pin being removably secured to the base, and a plurality of circumferentially evenly distributed locking flaps disposed on the outer end of the pin. This removable securement facilitates subsequent maintenance and reduces operating costs.

[0008] In the aforementioned circular shearing machine blade locking assembly, the pin is fixed in the threaded hole of the base via a threaded section at the outer end, and a lock nut is provided between the threaded section and the base. The lock nut can effectively prevent loosening and ensure safety in use.

[0009] In the above-mentioned locking blade assembly of the circular shearing machine, the threaded section is further provided with an anti-loosening washer located between the base and the anti-loosening nut. The anti-loosening washer can further prevent loosening and ensure safety in use.

[0010] In the aforementioned locking blade assembly for the circular shearing machine, the outer diameter of the pin is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the locking ring. This enhances the stability of the connection and prevents loosening or deviation during operation. The slightly smaller outer diameter also makes it easier for the pin to be inserted into the locking ring during assembly.

[0011] In the aforementioned circular shearing machine's blade lock assembly, the outer diameter of the blade lock shaft matches the inner diameter of the blade lock cylinder. This matching outer and inner diameters ensures a tight fit between the blade lock shaft and the cylinder, reducing play and improving overall stability and operational precision. This tight fit reduces vibration and noise during rotation or cutting, enhancing the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0012] In the aforementioned circular shearing machine's blade locking assembly, the axes of the blade locking shaft, blade lock head, and locking ring are aligned. This coaxial arrangement ensures more uniform force distribution, reduces vibration caused by eccentricity or misalignment, and enhances equipment stability. The centering structure simplifies assembly and maintenance, reduces operational complexity, and improves work efficiency.

[0013] In the above-mentioned knife locking assembly of the circular shearing machine, an impact-proof and damage-preventing buffer structure is provided between the knife locking cylinder and the knife body.

[0014] In the aforementioned circular shearing machine's locking blade assembly, the impact-damage prevention and buffering structure includes a curved outer chamfer on the inner wall of the outer end of the locking blade barrel, and a curved inner chamfer between the blade body and the blade body locking head. The curved chamfer design effectively disperses stress generated during impact, reducing stress concentration and the risk of component damage. The curved corner design provides a larger contact area, allowing for smoother absorption of impact force during impact and enhancing the buffering effect.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this circular shearing machine's knife lock assembly are: 1. It improves the convenience of knife changes, allowing for quick changes and reducing downtime. 2. The knife body is securely locked, ensuring production safety. 3. It facilitates maintenance, reducing maintenance costs and time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
