Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of troweling machines, and in particular relates to a tilt angle adjustment device for a troweling head assembly of a troweling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Power trowels are widely used for smoothing concrete surfaces, and the performance of their trowel assembly directly affects the smoothing effect and construction quality.
[0003] Traditional trowel assemblies are typically fixed in place, with the trowel motor operating at a constant angle. However, in actual construction, concrete surfaces often exhibit varying degrees of undulation, inclination, or unevenness. For example, in road construction, the roadbed may experience localized inclination due to geological conditions or construction errors; in building construction, different areas may have varying heights due to differences in construction techniques. Furthermore, the precast concrete segments of wind turbine towers are not uniform in diameter but rather have an inclined taper. Fixed-angle trowel assemblies cannot adapt to these complex and varied surface conditions. When working on inclined or uneven concrete surfaces, uneven troweling and ineffective troweling in certain areas can easily occur, resulting in poor concrete surface flatness and affecting subsequent construction procedures and the overall project quality.
[0004] To address these issues, some existing technologies have attempted to improve the trowel assembly, but most suffer from drawbacks such as complex adjustment methods, low adjustment accuracy, and poor stability. Some adjustment devices require manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of the adjustment; while other devices achieve electric adjustment, their complex structure increases the cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment, and they are prone to failure during long-term use, affecting the construction progress.
[0005] Therefore, developing a tilt adjustment device for a trowel assembly of a trowel machine that is simple in structure, easy to adjust, highly accurate, and stable is of great practical significance. Utility Model Content

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A tilt adjustment device for a trowel head assembly of a troweling machine includes a vertical carriage base 1, a tilt adjustment component 2 hinged to the vertical carriage base, and a troweling motor 3 disposed within the vertical carriage base, with the housing of the troweling motor connected to the tilt adjustment component; wherein the tilt adjustment component is configured to drive the troweling motor to rotate about its hinge point with the vertical carriage base to adjust the tilt angle of the troweling motor.
[0020] The tilt adjustment assembly 2 includes a left swing arm 21 and a right swing arm 22 fixedly mounted on a vertical carriage base 5423. A smoothing motor is fixedly connected to an active swing arm 23 and a driven swing arm 24. The active and driven swing arms are hinged within the vertical carriage base 5423 via a support shaft 28. The active swing arm 23 extends vertically upward to the upper ends of the left and right swing arms 21 and 22. An active swing rod 231 is provided vertically at the upper end of the active swing arm 23. The active swing rod 231 is inserted into an elongated hinge hole in the hinge joint 25. The hinge joint 25 includes a T-joint 251 and a U-joint 252. The other end of the T-joint 251 is connected to a left swing drive cylinder 26, which is fixedly mounted on the left swing arm 21. The other end of the U-joint 252 is connected to a right swing drive cylinder 27, which is fixedly mounted on the right swing arm 22. Driven by the left swing drive cylinder 26 and the right swing drive cylinder 27, the active swing arm 23 and the driven swing arm 24 swing, which in turn drives the smoothing motor 543 and the grinding disc 544 to swing, so as to adapt to the smoothing operation of concrete pipe segments with different curvatures.
[0021] In a further preferred embodiment, the upper ends of the left and right swing frames are provided with bent portions towards the smoothing motor, and a fixing plate is connected to the upper surface of the bent portions.
