Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cutting head assembly, concretely to quick replacement type heading machine cutting head assembly. BACKGROUND

[0002] The heading machine is the key core equipment for breaking rock and excavating roadway in coal mine, tunnel and other underground engineering. The cutting head completes the heading operation by high-speed rotation and directly impacting and grinding the rock wall through a large number of cutting teeth installed thereon. As the cutting tooth is a consumable part directly involved in breaking, it bears extremely high impact load, abrasive wear and alternating stress in harsh working conditions, and is prone to wear, alloy head falling off or fracture failure, so it needs to be frequently replaced.

[0003] Through retrieval, in the utility model patent with patent grant announcement No. CN219081585U, a kind of heading machine cutting head assembly is disclosed, including tooth holder, the upper portion of tooth holder is provided with through hole, cutting tooth is arranged through through hole, tooth holder one end is fixedly provided with stop block, recess is opened in the upper portion of stop block, internal thread is arranged on the inner wall of recess, screw rod is fixedly arranged at the middle position of the end of cutting tooth close to stop block, and the one end of screw rod is arranged in recess and is tightly screwed together with stop block.

[0004] At present, the vast majority of cutting teeth of heading machine adopt traditional "elastic retaining ring" or "U-shaped clamp spring" type fixing method. Specifically, a ring groove is processed at the tail of cutting tooth, and when it is inserted into tooth holder, an elastic clamp spring is embedded into the corresponding clamp groove in tooth holder and clamped into the ring groove of cutting tooth, and the elastic tension of clamp spring is used to prevent cutting tooth from falling off. When disassembling, special tools such as clamp spring pliers are needed to pry out the clamp spring on the space-limited cutting head, which is extremely inconvenient to operate. After being subjected to strong vibration and impact, the clamp spring is prone to fatigue, deformation or even collapse, which leads to loosening and falling off of cutting tooth, and it is not stable enough. Therefore, it needs to be improved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model aims at providing quick replacement type heading machine cutting head assembly, which solves the problems of inconvenient replacement and unstable installation of the cutting teeth of existing cutting head.

An annular groove 201 is formed on the inner wall of the toothed seat 2, and the arc-shaped end of the locking pin 5 is located within the annular groove 201. The annular groove 201 provides an engaging position for the locking pin 5 within the toothed seat 2.

[0025] Please seeFigure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 A locking pin 7 is fixedly connected to the cutting tooth 3. A convex slider 8 is slidably connected to the end of the tooth base 2. A slide rail 202 is provided at the end of the tooth base 2, and the convex slider 8 is located in the slide rail 202. The cross-section of the slide rail 202 is the same as the cross-section of the convex slider 8, which facilitates the sliding of the convex slider 8 at the end of the tooth base 2 without it falling off. An arc-shaped locking piece 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the convex slider 8. The arc-shaped locking piece 9 is slidably connected to the locking pin 7.
