[0019] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0020] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a welding and fixing device for a single cutterhead box of a tunnel boring machine includes a fixed base 1 and a box 6 to be welded. The fixed base 1 is fixed by bolts and remains fixed during welding. A first support plate 2 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the fixed base 1, and a second support plate 3 is provided on the other side of the upper surface of the first support plate 2. The first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 are parallel, and the space between the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 is larger than the size of the box 6 to be welded, so as to facilitate its placement. A positioning groove 11 is opened on the upper surface of the fixed base 1, and the positioning groove 11 is placed between the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3. The box 6 to be welded is placed in the positioning groove. 11. Inside, the bottom of the box to be welded 6 is limited, and the box to be welded 6 is placed between the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3. Multiple internal threaded cylinders 31 are evenly arranged on the surface of the second support plate 3. The internal threaded cylinders 31 are horizontally arranged. A tightening screw 5 is screwed through the inner side of the internal threaded cylinder 31. The end of the tightening screw 5 is pressed against the outer side of the box to be welded 6. The tightening screw 5 is rotated to control its axial dimension. Then, the outer side of the box to be welded 6 is pressed and fixed by the tightening screw 5. Two internal support mechanisms 7 are suspended inside the box to be welded 6. The internal support mechanisms 7 are used to support the internal space of the box to be welded 6 to ensure the internal space of the box.

[0021] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple reinforcing ribs 4 are evenly arranged on the outer sides of the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 to increase the strength of the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner support mechanism 7 includes a support bar 71 that is horizontally suspended inside the box 6 to be welded. T-shaped grooves 72 are provided on both sides of the surface of the support bar 71. A telescopic rod 74 is slidably installed inside the T-shaped grooves 72. The T-shaped grooves 72 can ensure that the support bar 71 can only extend and retract, so as to ensure its stable movement.

[0023] Among them, the telescopic rod 74 extends beyond the end surface of the supporting crossbar 71, and the two telescopic rods 74 are provided with protective grooves 741 on the opposite ends to increase friction with the inner wall of the box and achieve an anti-slip effect. The ends of the two telescopic rods 74 respectively abut against the inner walls on both sides of the box 6 to be welded in order to adjust the inner cavity size of the box 6 to be welded.

[0024] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a mounting cylinder 73 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the support crossbar 71. A threaded rod 75 is rotatably mounted at the end of the mounting cylinder 73. A knob 76 is provided at the top of the threaded rod 75. The threaded rod 75 is vertically positioned above the support crossbar 71 so that it can be operated from the top.

[0025] The threaded rod 75 has a lifting block 77 screwed onto its surface. The lifting block 77 has connecting rods 78 symmetrically hinged on both sides. The ends of the two connecting rods 78 opposite to the lifting block 77 are respectively hinged to two telescopic rods 74. By rotating the threaded rod 75, the lifting block 77 is adjusted along the axis of the threaded rod 75. Then, by controlling the height of the lifting block 77, the extension and retraction of the two support crossbars 71 are controlled in sync with the connecting rods 78, so that their ends abut against the inner wall of the box and the force on both sides is even.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the fixed base 1 is fixed. Then, the box 6 to be welded is placed inside the positioning groove 11. The space between the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3 is larger than the box 6 to be welded. Therefore, the box 6 to be welded can be smoothly placed between the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3. Rotate the tightening screw 5 so that the end of the tightening screw 5 is pressed against the side of the box 6 to be welded through the thread engagement, thereby controlling the external dimensions of the box 6 to be welded. Then, the inner support mechanism 7 is suspended and placed inside the box 6 to be welded, so that the inner support mechanism 7 outputs a horizontal direction. Rotate the connecting rod 78 to drive the threaded rod 75 to rotate. The threaded rod 75 drives the lifting block 77 to move to adjust the height of the lifting block 77. Then, the connecting rod 78 controls the movement of the two telescopic rods 74 so that the two telescopic rods 74 move outward until the protective groove 741 can contact the inner wall of the box 6 to be welded, thereby adjusting the internal cavity dimensions of the box 6 to be welded. At this time, both the inside and outside of the box 6 to be welded are effectively controlled to ensure stability during welding.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
