[0006] The torque sensor monitors the torque force of the cutter head and other structures during operation. When the torque force reaches the maximum preset value, the torque sensor feeds back the information to the control panel, which then controls the turret structure to stop working and activates the alarm, releasing a flashing red light and emitting a buzzer sound to remind the operator that the torque force is overloaded and needs to be dealt with promptly. The cylinder pushes the mounting plate up and down, which in turn moves the turret body up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the turret body until the distance between the mounting plate and the mounting base reaches the preset value of the displacement sensor. At this point, the displacement sensor feeds back the information to the control panel, which then controls the cylinder to stop working, thus achieving precise adjustment of the turret height.

[0007] Preferably, a guide hole is provided on one side of the top of the mounting base, and a guide rod is inserted into the guide hole. The bottom end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The cooperation between the guide rod and the guide hole facilitates the stable movement of the mounting plate.

[0008] Preferably, both sides of the inner wall of the mounting base are provided with movable grooves, and movable blocks are slidably arranged inside the two movable grooves. The two movable blocks are fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The cooperation between the two movable blocks and the two movable grooves facilitates the stable movement of the mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly provided at the bottom of both sides of the mounting base, and fixing holes are provided on both sides of the top of the two fixing blocks. The combination of the two fixing blocks and the four fixing holes facilitates the fixed installation of the device.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the mounting plate has first threaded holes on both sides, and the top of the tower body has second threaded holes on both sides. Fixing bolts are threaded between the two first threaded holes and the two second threaded holes respectively. Fixing the tower body with the two fixing bolts respectively is convenient for fixing and installing the tower body.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the cutter head is provided with a plurality of mounting slots, and each of the plurality of mounting slots is provided with a cutter holder structure, thereby facilitating the installation of the cutter holder structure.

[0012] Preferably, the cylinder, displacement sensor, torque sensor, and alarm are all electrically connected to the control panel, and the control panel controls the cylinder, displacement sensor, torque sensor, and alarm to be powered on and start working.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The torque sensor monitors the torque force of the cutter head and other structures during operation. When the torque force reaches the maximum preset value, the torque sensor feeds back the information to the control panel, which then controls the turret structure to stop working and activates the alarm, releasing a flashing red light and emitting a buzzer sound to remind the operator that the torque force is overloaded and needs to be dealt with promptly. The cylinder pushes the mounting plate up and down, which in turn moves the turret body up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the turret body until the distance between the mounting plate and the mounting base reaches the preset value of the displacement sensor. At this point, the displacement sensor feeds back the information to the control panel, which then controls the cylinder to stop working, thus achieving precise adjustment of the turret height.

A shaft 15 is provided at one end of the turret body 4. A tool disc 12 is fixedly mounted at the end of the shaft 15 away from the turret body 4. A torque sensor 16 is fixedly mounted at the connection between the shaft 15 and the turret body 4. A displacement sensor 5 is fixedly mounted at the top of the inner side of the mounting base 1. The bottom end of the displacement sensor 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3. A control panel 10 is fixedly mounted at the center of one side of the mounting base 1. An alarm 11 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the control panel 10. The torque sensor 16 monitors the torque force of the cutter head 12 and other structures during operation. When the torque force reaches the maximum preset value, the torque sensor 16 will feed the information back to the control panel 10, thereby controlling the turret structure to stop working and controlling the alarm 11 to be powered on, releasing a flashing red light and emitting a buzzer sound, thus reminding the staff that the torque force is overloaded and needs to be dealt with in time. The cylinder 2 pushes the mounting plate 3 to move up and down, thereby driving the tower body 4 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the tower body 4 until the distance between the mounting plate 3 and the mounting base 1 reaches the preset value of the displacement sensor 5. The displacement sensor 5 will then feed the information back to the control panel 10, thereby controlling the cylinder 2 to stop working, thus achieving precise adjustment of the height of the tower body 4.

[0022] A guide hole 7 is provided on one side of the top of the mounting base 1. A guide rod 6 is inserted inside the guide hole 7. The bottom end of the guide rod 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3. Movable grooves 9 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting base 1. Movable blocks 8 are slidably provided inside the two movable grooves 9. Both movable blocks 8 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3. Fixing blocks 13 are fixedly provided at the bottom of both sides of the mounting base 1. Fixing holes 14 are provided on both sides of the top of the two fixing blocks 13.

[0025] In use, the tower body 4 is fixedly installed by fixing the two fixing bolts 21 to the threads of the two second threaded holes 20 respectively. The installation groove 17 facilitates the installation of the knife holder structure 18. The control panel 10 controls the cylinder 2, displacement sensor 5, torque sensor 16 and alarm 11 to be powered on and start working.

[0026] In this embodiment, the torque sensor 16 monitors the torque force of the cutter head 12 and other structures during operation. When the torque force reaches the maximum preset value, the torque sensor 16 feeds the information back to the control panel 10, thereby controlling the turret structure to stop working and controlling the alarm 11 to be powered on, releasing a flashing red light and emitting a buzzer sound, thus reminding the operator that the torque force is overloaded and needs to be dealt with in time. During use, the cylinder 2 pushes the mounting plate 3 to move up and down, thereby driving the tower body 4 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the tower body 4 until the distance between the mounting plate 3 and the mounting base 1 reaches the preset value of the displacement sensor 5. At this point, the displacement sensor 5 feeds the information back to the control panel 10, thereby controlling the cylinder 2 to stop working, thus achieving precise adjustment of the height of the tower body 4.
