[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a small tool for micro-excavation of earthwork in trenches, including a cylindrical shell 1, a connecting cylinder 3 coaxially rotatably arranged inside the shell 1, and a cutting head fixed at the end of the connecting cylinder 3. The cutting head is located at the open end of the shell 1, and the other end of the shell 1 is a closed end. The driving structure of the connecting cylinder 3 is a driving component 7 arranged at the closed end. An auger 4 is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 3. A feed pipe 8 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the shell 1, and a power supply 18 is installed on the outer wall of the closed end.
[0025] Power is supplied to the drive unit 7 via power supply 18. The drive unit 7 drives the connecting cylinder 3 to rotate. The connecting cylinder 3 drives the auger 4 and the cutting head to rotate. During the rotation of the connecting cylinder 3, the worker holds the housing 1 and inserts the small tool horizontally into the soil. During the insertion, the cutting head cuts the soil. The cut soil enters the interior of the housing 1. Under the conveying of the auger 4, the soil moves along the housing 1 and is finally discharged from the discharge pipe 8 at the bottom of the housing 1, thus realizing the micro-excavation of the trench.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, to achieve stable installation of the connecting cylinder 3, a mounting rod 2 is coaxially fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and the connecting cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to the mounting rod 2 via a bearing. By fixing the mounting rod 2 inside the housing 1, the connecting cylinder 3 is fitted onto the mounting rod 2, achieving a stable rotatable connection of the connecting cylinder 3.
[0027] like Figure 2As shown, to improve the stability of the mounting rod 2, a mounting bracket 9 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. One end of the mounting rod 2 is fixed to the mounting bracket 9, and the cutting head is fitted onto the other end of the mounting rod 2. A support rod is provided on the inner side of the cutting head, and the movable end of the support rod abuts against the inner wall of the housing 1. One end of the mounting rod 2 is directly fixed inside the housing 1 through the mounting bracket 9, and the other end of the mounting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the cutting head. The inner side of the cutting head abuts against the inner wall of the housing 1. During the rotation of the cutting head, it can be evenly supported by force to ensure the stability of the other end of the mounting rod 2.
[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown. The cutting head includes a mounting sleeve 10, a cutting rod 11 fixed to the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 10, and a cutting block 12 fixed to the cutting rod 11. The cutting rod 11 is distributed at equal angles around the axis of the mounting sleeve 10, and the mounting sleeve 10 is fixed to the end of the connecting cylinder 3. The mounting sleeve 10 is fixedly installed on the end wall of the connecting cylinder 3. At the same time, the mounting sleeve 10 is fitted onto the mounting rod 2. During the process of the driving component 7 driving the connecting cylinder 3 to rotate, the cutting head and the auger 4 are driven to rotate synchronously. The cutting head cuts the soil, and at the same time, the auger 4 delivers the soil blocks produced by the cutting head.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown. The support rod is a balance rod 13 fixed parallel to the side wall of the cutting rod 11. A wedge is fixedly connected to the end of the balance rod 13. An inclined surface is provided on the inner side of the end wall of the housing 1, and the outer side wall of the wedge is attached to the inclined surface. The balance rod 13 on the cutting head abuts against the side wall of the housing 1, and the wedge increases the contact area, ensuring the stability between the cutting head and the housing 1.
[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. The cutting blocks 12 are equidistantly arranged along the axial direction of the cutting rod 11. The top end of the cutting block 12 is provided with a cutting edge, and the cutting block 12 is inclined relative to the cutting rod 11. Due to the inclined arrangement of the cutting block 12, as the cutting block 12 rotates with the cutting plate 11, the cutting edge at the movable end of the cutting block 12 can easily cut the soil, and the resulting soil blocks enter the interior of the shell 1.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown. A partition 5 is coaxially fixed to the end of the connecting cylinder 3, and the outer side wall of the partition 5 is in contact with the outer side wall of the housing 1. By setting the partition 5, the inside of the housing 1 is sealed to prevent soil from entering the inside of the housing 1 during the conveying process, so that the soil can smoothly enter the feed pipe 8.
[0032] like Figure 2As shown. The driving component includes a motor and a reducer fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. The motor output shaft is connected to the reducer via a transmission. The reducer is connected to the outer end wall of the partition 5 via a transmission gear set 6. The driven gear in the transmission gear set 6 is coaxially fixed to the outer side wall of the partition 5. The motor and reducer drive the driving gear in the transmission gear set 6 to rotate. The driving gear meshes with the driven gear, which is coaxially fixed to the end wall of the partition 5. By driving the partition 5 to rotate, the connecting cylinder 3 is rotated.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown. A connecting plate 15 is horizontally fixed inside the closed end of the housing 1. An air inlet 16 and an air outlet 17 are respectively opened on the closed end of the housing 1. The air inlet 16 is located above the connecting plate 15, and the air outlet 17 is located below the connecting plate 15. A fan 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 15. The connecting plate 15 divides the interior of the housing 1 to form an air flow channel. Under the induced draft of the fan 14, air enters the interior of the housing 1 through the air inlet 16, passes through the driving component 7, and flows out through the air outlet 17, thereby cooling the driving component 7.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown. A handle 19 is fixed on the outer wall of the closed end of the housing 1, and the handles 19 are arranged on both sides of the housing 1. Handles 19 are installed on both side walls of the housing 1, and a control switch is installed on one of the handles 19. The worker holds a small tool with both hands to perform micro-excavation of the soil on the side wall of the trench.
