Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline construction technology, and specifically to a drill bit for shearing and breaking underground steel strip pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Trenchless replacement technology for underground pipelines is a technical solution to the problem of irreparable damage to underground pipelines. The overall advantage of trenchless replacement methods is that the replacement has little negative impact, occupies less space, and has a very weak impact on the ground, traffic, environment, and surrounding underground pipelines. The replaced pipelines have a good lifespan and quality. Trenchless replacement technology will surely be widely promoted in the field of drainage pipeline replacement.

[0003] Many municipal pipelines use corrugated plastic pipes. When old pipelines are damaged, they need to be repaired. With current technology, trenchless drill bits cannot remove the old pipelines. When drilling old pipelines with existing drill bits, the pipeline is cut and twisted, causing the old pipeline to wrap around the outside of the drill bit, making it impossible for the drill bit to move forward and cut off the old pipeline. Improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a shearing and crushing drill bit for underground steel strip pipes, thereby solving one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least providing a beneficial option or creating conditions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A shearing and breaking drill bit for underground steel strip pipes includes a traction head connected to a pipe-pulling cap. The traction head includes a housing with two symmetrically arranged cutter slots. A shear assembly is provided inside the housing. The shear assembly further includes a power mechanism fixedly connected inside the housing. The power mechanism is connected to a push plate, which is hinged to a connecting plate. The connecting plate is hinged to a shear mechanism extending from the cutter slots. The housing has at least two hook blades. The pipe-pulling cap is connected to the housing via a pivot. The housing also has a connecting head.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model discloses a drill bit for shearing and breaking underground steel strip pipes, comprising a traction head 1, a pipe-pulling cap 2 connected to the traction head 1, a housing 3, and a connecting head 3 3 connected to the pipe-pulling cap 2 via a rotating shaft 9. The housing 3 also has a connecting head 31, preferably an octagonal nut, through which a rotating traction rod (not shown in the figure) is connected. The traction rod is pulled by a drilling rig (not shown in the figure). Driven by the traction rod, the traction head 1 rotates and moves forward. The housing 3 has two symmetrical cutting grooves 4, and a shear assembly is provided inside the housing 3. The shear assembly also includes a power mechanism 5 fixedly connected inside the housing 3. The structure 5 is connected to a push plate 6, the push plate 6 is hinged to a connecting plate 7, and the connecting plate 7 is hinged to a scissor mechanism. The scissor mechanism extends from the cutter slot 4. The outer shell 3 is provided with at least two hooks 8. The hooks 8 cut the pipe. Under the rotation of the traction head 1, the hooks 8 twist the cut pipe together. During the twisting, the uncut pipe in front of the traction head 1 is also twisted together. Usually, pipes with steel strips are tough, so under the drive of the traction head 1, the uncut pipes will also deform and twist together. The power mechanism 5 drives the push plate 6, which in turn drives the scissor mechanism to cut the pipe in front of the traction head 1, so as to prevent the twisted pipes from blocking the forward movement of the traction head 1.

[0030] In the preferred embodiment, the outer shell 3 includes a cylindrical part and a conical part. The hook knife 8 is located in the cylindrical part. The conical part reduces the resistance of the deformed pipe in front. The hook knife 8 is located in the cylindrical part to facilitate cutting the pipe.

[0031] Specifically, several hooks 8 are provided on the outer side of the conical part to increase the probability that the hooks 8 will hook onto the pipe.

[0032] Specifically, several hook posts 16 are provided on the outer sides of the cylindrical and conical parts to increase the probability that the traction head 1 will get caught on the pipe.

[0033] Specifically, the scissor mechanism includes a first blade holder 10 and a second blade holder 11. The first blade holder 10 is fixed to the blade groove 4, and the second blade holder 11 is hinged to the connecting plate 7. The second blade holder 11 is also provided with a sliding groove 20. The blade groove 4 is provided with a slide rail that matches the sliding groove 20. The second blade holder 11 is movably connected to the blade groove 4 through the sliding groove 20 and the slide rail. The power mechanism 5 drives the second blade holder 11 to move back and forth through the connecting plate 7, so as to cooperate with the first blade holder 10 to achieve the purpose of cutting.

[0034] Specifically, the blade slot 4 is provided with a movable opening 12, and the second blade holder 11 is provided with a connecting part 13. The connecting part 13 passes through the movable opening 12 and is hinged to the connecting plate 7. The second blade holder 11 moves back and forth within the range of the movable opening 12 to cooperate with the first blade holder 10 to cut the pipe.

[0035] Specifically, the first blade holder 10 includes at least one first blade 14, and the second blade holder 11 includes at least one or more second blades 15. The second blades 15 cooperate with the first blades 14 to improve the efficiency of cutting the pipe.

[0036] Specifically, the orientation of the hook 8 is at an angle to the axis of the outer casing 3. In a preferred embodiment, the hook 8 is deflected in the direction of rotation of the traction head 1 to improve the efficiency of hooking and cutting the pipe.

[0037] Specifically, the hook knife 8 includes a blade 17 and a reinforcing plate 18. The bottom of the blade 17 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 3, and the lower part of the reinforcing plate 18 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 3, while its side is fixedly connected to the blade 17 to strengthen the hook knife 8 and prevent the blade 17 from deforming during operation.

[0038] Specifically, the pipe cap 2 is equipped with a transfer device 19, which is connected to the inner wall of the pipe cap 2. The rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the transfer device 19. The pipe cap 2 is used to install a new pipe and pull the new pipe forward synchronously, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting the old pipe and installing the new pipe at the same time.
