Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel boring machine technology, specifically a tunnel boring machine cutter wear testing machine. Background Technology
[0002] One testing method of the tunnel boring machine cutter wear tester is to first clamp and position the cutter, and then use a moving mechanism to push the test roller to squeeze the cutter for wear testing.
[0003] Conventionally, a servo motor is used to drive a roller shaft to perform contact grinding on the cutter. However, during the grinding process, the cutter is not fixed tightly, causing the grinding roller shaft to rotate synchronously with the cutter. This results in inaccurate wear testing. In addition, the cutter is also prone to jumping up due to centrifugal force, posing a significant safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 A tunnel boring machine cutter wear testing machine includes a base 1, a protective shell 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 to prevent wear sparks from splashing; a smoke extractor 3 fixedly installed on the top of the protective shell 2 to extract wear fumes; and a transparent door 4 hinged to the front of the protective shell 2 for observing the internal wear condition.
[0027] Please see Figure 2 Vertical electric slides 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the base 1, used to drive the grinding wheel 8 to adjust its up and down position. A horizontal electric slide 6 is fixedly installed at the output end of the vertical electric slide 5, used to drive the grinding wheel 8 to adjust its left and right position. A support 7 is fixedly installed at the output end of the horizontal electric slide 6, and the grinding wheel 8 is rotatably mounted inside the support 7. The shaft of the grinding wheel 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 9, and the servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to the support 7. The servo motor 9 can drive the grinding wheel 8 to rotate.
[0028] Please see Figure 3Two symmetrically arranged vertical plates 10 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. A slide rod 11 is fixedly installed between the two vertical plates 10. Two symmetrically arranged clamping plates 12 are slidably installed on the outside of the slide rod 11. A lead screw sleeve 14 is embedded inside the clamping plate 12. A lead screw shaft 13 is threadedly connected inside the lead screw sleeve 14. A partition plate is fixedly installed in the middle section of the lead screw shaft 13. The outer side of the lead screw shaft 13 has threaded grooves with opposite threads on the left and right sides with the partition plate as the center point. One end of the lead screw shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 15. The motor 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 10. The motor 15 drives the lead screw shaft 13 to rotate, and then the two lead screw sleeves 14 move closer to each other or separate, thereby ensuring that the two clamping plates 12 move closer to each other or separate.
[0029] Please see Figure 4-6 A clamping shell 16 is fixedly installed on the side of the clamping plate 12. The clamping shell 16 and the top of the clamping plate 12 are provided with a groove. A hob 17 is placed inside the groove. The cross-section of the groove is square to ensure that the cutter shaft of the hob 17 will not rotate. A sliding groove 18 is provided on the top of the clamping plate 12. A semi-circular limiting plate 19 is fixedly installed at the open end of the sliding groove 18.
[0030] Please see Figure 4-6 A slider 20 is slidably mounted inside the slide groove 18. One end of the slider 20 has a sloping top, and another end of the slider 20, below the sloping top, has a curved surface that matches the surface of the cutter shaft of the hob 17. The bottom of the slider 20 has a groove corresponding to the semi-circular limiting plate 19. A spring 21 is provided on one side of the slider 20, and a push plate 22 is fixedly mounted on the top of the slider 20. The cutter shaft of the hob 17 is detachably mounted to the clamping plate 12 via the slider 20 and the spring 21.
[0031] Working principle: When in use, the hob 17 is first placed between the two clamps 16. The motor 15 drives the lead screw 13 to rotate. The lead screw 13 drives the two clamps 12 to move closer to each other. The two clamps 16 will clamp the body of the hob 17, ensuring that the hob 17 will not rotate synchronously with the grinding wheel 8.
[0032] Then release the side push of the push plate 22, and the spring 21 will push the slider 20 to insert above the cutter shaft of the hob 17. After the two sliders 20 are connected, they will lock the cutter shaft of the hob 17, ensuring that the two ends of the hob 17 will not jump up and injure people during the wear test.
[0033] By setting a protective shell 2 on the base 1, it is ensured that sparks will not be splashed out and cause injury during the wear test; a transparent door 4 is hinged to the front of the protective shell 2, which makes it convenient to observe the wear of the roller cutter 17 during the wear test; a smoke extractor 3 is connected to the top of the protective shell 2, which makes it convenient to extract and filter the smoke produced during the wear test.
[0034] The vertical electric slide 5 can drive the horizontal electric slide 6 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the up and down position of the grinding wheel 8; the horizontal electric slide 6 can drive the grinding wheel 8 to move left and right; the servo motor 9 can drive the grinding wheel 8 to rotate, and then the grinding wheel 8 will grind the hob 17. Based on the rotation speed of the grinding wheel 8 and the difference between the starting wear time of the hob 17 and the time when the hob 17 shows wear marks, the wear data of the hob 17 can be easily obtained.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
