Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel construction technology, and more specifically, to a modular tool transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] With the significant increase in deep-buried tunnels and shield tunneling projects in hard rock strata, the wear rate of TBM cutters has increased dramatically, and frequent cutter replacements have become a key bottleneck restricting construction efficiency. Currently, cutter transport relies heavily on traditional hoisting equipment or simple conveying devices, which are prone to problems such as cutter edge damage and sealing structure failure due to mechanical vibration, path deviation, or collisions during transport. Especially in water-rich hard rock strata, the abrasive slurry formed by the mixture of residual rock debris on the cutter surface and groundwater exacerbates cutter wear during transport. When the cutter transport path crosses the segment assembly area, uncontrolled swaying can cause collisions between the cutter and segment bolts, resulting in double structural damage.
[0003] In the existing technology, the tool transfer device stores the tool horizontally, and the exposed cutting edge can cause the most important cutting edge of the tool to wear during the transfer process. In addition, the existing transfer device requires a large number of bolts to assemble the carrier, which can easily cause the carrier to shift on the transfer vehicle.
[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a modular tool transfer device to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A modular tool transfer device includes a horizontal support base and a tool horizontal transfer base. The top structure of the horizontal support base matches the bottom structure of the tool horizontal transfer base, and the tool horizontal transfer base is movably embedded in the top of the horizontal support base. Positioning fasteners are equidistantly connected to the front and rear of the horizontal support base. Vertical support frames are symmetrically connected to the left and right sides and the middle part of the top of the tool horizontal transfer base. Tool positioning components are symmetrically embedded in both sides of the inner wall of the vertical support frames. A cutting tool body is connected between each of the tool positioning components, and an axial positioning component is provided through the inside of the cutting tool body.
[0008] Preferably, the positioning fastener includes a triangular plate, a threaded post, and a through hole. The through hole is opened on the outer wall of the triangular plate, and the triangular plate is movably sleeved on the outside of the threaded post through the through hole. One end of the threaded post is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the transverse horizontal support seat.
[0009] Preferably, the inner side of the triangular plate is in close contact with the horizontal support seat and the horizontal transfer base of the tool respectively, and the outer end of the threaded column is threaded with an internal thread cap, the inner side of the internal thread cap being in close contact with the outer side of the triangular plate.
[0010] Preferably, the tool positioning assembly includes a mounting plate and a connecting plate. The middle of the inner side of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. A groove is cut out on the outer side of the connecting plate. The groove extends through the front and rear sides of the connecting plate and slides into the left and right sides of the cutting tool body through the groove.
[0011] Preferably, mounting bolts are provided at the four corners of the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is threadedly connected to the screw holes opened on the inner wall of the vertical support frame through the mounting bolts.
[0012] Preferably, the axial positioning component includes an external threaded disc, a screw, and a locking nut. The top side of the external threaded disc is fixedly connected to the screw, and the locking nut is threadedly connected to the top of the screw.
[0013] Preferably, the screw is sleeved through the internal shaft hole of the cutting tool body, and the tool horizontal transfer base has internal threaded slots equidistantly excavated on both sides and the middle part of the top.
[0014] Preferably, the position of the internal threaded slot corresponds to the position of the axial positioning component, and the external threaded disc is threadedly connected to the internal threaded slot, with the bottom side of the locking nut abutting against the top side of the cutting tool body.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: it can effectively prevent the horizontal transfer base of the cutting tool from shifting left and right during the transfer process, and it can effectively prevent the horizontal transfer base of the cutting tool from shifting forward and backward during the transfer process. It does not require the use of a large number of bolts to assemble and disassemble the cutting tool carrier, and it is convenient to load and unload the horizontal transfer base of the cutting tool carrying the cutting tool body. A single horizontal transfer base of the cutting tool can transport twelve tunnel boring machine cutters, which effectively improves the efficiency of cutting tool transfer and avoids the cutting edge of the cutting tool body being exposed to the outside for a long time during the transport and thus avoids wear. While limiting the cutting tool body left and right, it also clamps and positions it up and down, reducing the collision between the cutting tools during the transport process and reducing abnormal damage to the cutting tools during the transport stage.

An axial positioning element 7 is provided through the inside of the cutting tool body 6. The positioning connecting fastener 3 includes a triangular plate 8, a threaded post 9, and a through hole 10. The through hole 10 is opened on the outer wall of the triangular plate 8, and the triangular plate 8 is movably sleeved on the outside of the threaded post 9 through the through hole 10. One end of the threaded post 9 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the transverse horizontal support 1, and the inner side of the triangular plate 8 is tightly abutted against the front and rear of the transverse horizontal support 1 and the tool horizontal transfer base 2, respectively.

The cutting tool body 6 is equidistantly positioned inside the vertical support frame 4. The cutting tool body 6 is positioned axially on its left and right sides and vertically using the tool positioning assembly 5 and axial positioning component 7.

The top structure of the horizontal support base 1 matches the bottom structure of the tool horizontal transfer base 2, and the tool horizontal transfer base 2 is movably embedded in the top of the horizontal support base 1. Positioning fasteners 3 are equidistantly connected to the front and rear of the horizontal support base 1. Vertical support frames 4 are symmetrically connected to the left and right sides and the middle part of the top of the tool horizontal transfer base 2. Tool positioning components 5 are symmetrically embedded in both sides of the inner wall of the vertical support frame 4. A cutting tool body 6 is connected between each of the tool positioning components 5. An axial positioning component 7 is provided through the inside of the cutting tool body 6.

The cutting tool body 6 has an internal shaft hole that runs through it. The top two sides and the middle part of the tool horizontal transfer base 2 are respectively provided with internal threaded slots 19. The position of the internal threaded slots 19 corresponds to the position of the axial positioning component 7. The external threaded disc 16 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded slots 19. The bottom side of the locking nut 18 abuts against the top side of the cutting tool body 6. After the cutting tool body 6 is installed on the tool positioning assembly 5 for left and right support and limitation, the external threaded disc 16 at the bottom end of the screw 17 passes through the bottom side of the shaft hole of the cutting tool body 6 and is screwed and fixed to the internal threaded slot 19 on the top side of the tool horizontal transfer base 2. Then the locking nut 18 is screwed on so that the locking nut 18 and the external threaded disc 16 abut against the outer end face of the upper and lower shaft holes of the cutting tool body 6. While limiting the cutting tool body 6 left and right, it also clamps and positions it up and down, reducing mutual collisions between tools during transportation and reducing abnormal damage to tools during transportation.
[0031] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, when this device is in use, the cutting tool body 6 is equidistantly arranged inside the vertical support frame 4. The cutting tool body 6 is positioned axially on the left and right sides and up and down using the tool positioning assembly 5 and the axial positioning component 7. Then, the horizontal support seat 1 and the tool horizontal transfer base 2 are spliced together vertically. The top structure of the horizontal support seat 1 is matched and connected with the bottom structure of the tool horizontal transfer base 2, which can effectively prevent the tool horizontal transfer base 2 from shifting left and right during the transfer process. The triangular plate 8 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded post 9 at the front and rear of the horizontal support seat 1 through the through hole 10. Then, the inner threaded cap 11 is screwed onto the outer end of the threaded post 9, so that the inner threaded cap 11 abuts against the outer wall of the triangular plate 8. The triangular plate 8 is tightly abutted against the horizontal support 1 and the tool horizontal transfer base 2. The mounting plate 12 is symmetrically connected and fixed to both sides of the inner wall of the vertical support frame 4. The cutting tool body 6 is placed horizontally and the cutting edge is slidably embedded into the groove 14 of the connecting plate 13. This can protect the cutting edge of the cutting tool body 6 during transportation. The external threaded disc 16 at the bottom of the screw 17 passes through the bottom side of the shaft hole of the cutting tool body 6 and is screwed and fixed to the internal threaded groove 19 on the top side of the tool horizontal transfer base 2. Then, the locking nut 18 is screwed on so that the locking nut 18 and the external threaded disc 16 abut against the outer end face of the upper and lower shaft holes of the cutting tool body 6. This limits the cutting tool body 6 to the left and right while clamping and positioning it to the top and bottom.
