Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tunnel boring machine repair, and in particular relates to a scraper repair welding positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] The scrapers on the cutterhead of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) are crucial components of the cutting system, primarily used for cutting soft soil, loading excavated soil, and assisting in scraping debris from hard rock formations. China has over 5,000 TBMs in operation, with approximately 300-500 units decommissioned annually. A single TBM cutterhead typically carries 60-120 scrapers, each with 3-10 tungsten alloy blocks (hardness ≥85 HRA) embedded in its blade holder. Among decommissioned TBMs, approximately 40% of the scrapers fail due to cracking or wear of the tungsten alloy blocks, necessitating scraper repair.
[0003] Once the tungsten alloy of the scraper fails, the entire scraper needs to be removed from the cutterhead, replaced with a new scraper, and then fixed back onto the cutterhead. However, this kind of repair is usually not carried out at the production plant, but rather at the tunnel boring machine storage site. This makes the repair troublesome, as it is often difficult to position the scraper at the storage site. Therefore, a device is needed to position the scraper to facilitate scraper repair at the tunnel boring machine storage site. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model provides a scraper repair welding positioning device, which uses the center of the existing cutter head as the positioning reference.

[0028] Figure 8 As shown, a scraper repair welding positioning device includes a positioning post 1 and a positioning arm 18 disposed on the positioning post perpendicular to the axis of the positioning post. The positioning arm has a side limiting component 16 for limiting the side of the scraper and a top limiting component 17 for limiting the top of the scraper.
[0029] The bottom of the positioning column is provided with a fixing part 2 for fixing to the center of the cutter head. The fixing part is disc-shaped and has fixing holes distributed in a circle. The positioning column has a coaxial rotating structure, including an inner column 5 and an outer tube 4. The positioning arm is fixedly connected to the outer tube. A plane bearing 3 is provided on the fixing part. The lower end of the outer tube is connected to the plane bearing, and the plane bearing is sleeved on the inner column.
[0030] The inner column has a coaxial threaded rod 9 at its top. The outer tube is closed at the top and has a through hole 6 for the threaded rod to extend out. A locking device 8 is provided on the part of the threaded rod that extends beyond the top of the outer tube. The locking device adopts a circular rotating disk structure and includes a locking tube 7 with a central internal threaded hole. A radial rod is provided on the outer surface of the locking tube. The end of the radial rod is connected to a handle tube, which is circularly curved. The lower end of the locking tube has a part that contacts the outer surface of the top of the outer tube.
[0031] The positioning arm is fixed perpendicularly to the outer surface of the outer tube. The side limiting component and the top limiting component of the positioning arm are perpendicular to each other. The centerline of the top limiting component is coplanar with the centerline of the positioning post. The inner surface of the side limiting component corresponds to the side position of the scraper on the cutter head to be repaired. A support base 14 is fixed to the upper surface of the top limiting component at the far end of the positioning arm. A fixing plate 10 is fixed to the outer surface of the outer tube. The fixing plate is parallel to the centerline of the positioning post. Multiple connecting holes are provided on the fixing plate. One connecting hole is provided on the support base. A diagonal brace 11 is connected between the fixing plate and the support base. The two ends of the diagonal brace are engaged with the corresponding connecting holes. In this embodiment, the diagonal brace adopts a tensioning device with an adjusting screw sleeve in the middle. Example 2
[0032] like Figure 9 As shown, a scraper repair welding positioning device differs from Embodiment 1 in that the positioning arm includes a proximal end 12 and a main body 13. The proximal end and the main body are connected by an assembly structure. In this embodiment, the proximal end and the main body are connected by an assembly method. The proximal end is fixed vertically to the outer tube, and an assembly plate is fixed to the end of the proximal end. An assembly plate is also fixed to the end of the main body. The two assembly plates are opposite each other and fixed with bolts. The remaining structure is the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the main body is composed of multiple splicing segments 33. Each splicing segment includes a central main body and connecting parts 15 fixed to both ends of the central main body. The connecting parts have fixing holes. The connecting parts of adjacent segments face each other, and bolts pass through the fixing holes and are fixed in place.

For ease of connection to the proximal end, the first segment is connected to the proximal end. One end of this first segment is provided with a splicing plate that is connected and fixed to the splicing plate of the proximal end. Example 3
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a scraper repair welding positioning device differs from Embodiment 2 in that the proximal end and the main body are connected by a hinge, allowing the main body to rotate relative to the proximal end around the hinge.

The positioning arm slides in conjunction with the sliding groove structure, and a locking device is provided between the positioning arm and the sliding groove structure. The sliding groove structure is welded and fixed by plate assembly 29. The sliding groove structure has a vertically extending sliding groove 30 with a side opening 31. A sliding plate 19 adapted to the sliding groove is provided at the near end of the positioning arm. The sliding plate is T-shaped, and the middle part 24 of the sliding plate mates with the opening of the sliding groove structure. A connecting hole is provided on the middle part. Locking limit plates 23 are provided on both sides of the opening of the sliding groove structure at a slightly lower position. A limit groove 28 is provided in the middle of the locking limit plate. The locking device includes a U-shaped clamping arm 21 and a locking screw 20. Threaded holes are provided at both ends of the clamping arm. The locking screw is fitted into the threaded holes. The height of the limit groove is adapted to the height of the clamping arm. The two ends of the clamping arm are inserted into the limit groove. The inner width of the clamping arm opening is slightly larger than the thickness of the middle part of the sliding plate. The slide plate slides up and down in the slide groove to adjust the height of the top limiting component of the positioning arm. Once the position is determined, the locking screw is screwed into the threaded hole of the clamping arm and clamps the middle part, while being restricted by the limiting groove.
[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, the main body of the positioning arm is composed of multiple splicing segments 33. The first segment 32 is connected to the proximal end. The two ends of the first segment are respectively fixed with a second hinge plate and a connecting part, and the end of the proximal end is fixed with a first hinge plate. The second hinge plate and the first hinge plate are hinged together by a hinge shaft. To extend the length of the positioning arm, splicing segments can be connected to the connecting part of the first segment. As needed, the remaining splicing segments can be connected to each other one by one through corresponding connecting parts. The support seat at the end of each splicing segment is connected and supported by a diagonal brace to the corresponding connecting hole on the middle part of the slide plate.
