Description

A multi-station welding fixture for tunnel boring machine cutters Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shield tunneling tool processing technology, and in particular to a multi-station welding fixture for shield tunneling tools. Background Technology

[0002] A tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a type of tunnel construction equipment widely used in railway, highway, and subway tunnel construction. The cutterhead of the TBM is located at the front end of the TBM and acts as the machine's teeth. It excavates the tunnel as the cutterhead rotates and is the main tool for cutting rock and soil. When the TBM is excavating soil layers with a lot of rock, it needs to be equipped with more roller cutters on the cutterhead to facilitate rapid rock breaking.

[0003] As an economical and rapid process for material surface modification, welding is increasingly being used in the manufacturing and repair of parts in various industrial sectors.

[0004] In existing technologies, specialized welding fixtures are widely used in the production of tunnel boring machine (TBM) cutters, or when the cutters need maintenance and repair after a period of use. These welding fixtures can accurately position and fix the cutters, and provide appropriate welding process parameters to ensure the quality and uniformity of the weld layer, thereby meeting the performance requirements of TBM cutters in practical applications.

[0005] However, during operation, the shield tunneling cutter will generate a lot of dust or fumes when it is welded using welding equipment. If workers inhale these dust or fumes, it can easily affect their health. At the same time, the dust generated during welding can produce glaring light, which can easily cause eye injuries.
