[0016] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0017] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0018] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a cutterhead for an earth pressure balance pipe jacking machine, including a disc body 1. A first cutter 2 is detachably connected to the edge of the disc body 1. The first cutter 2 has toothed grooves 14 on both sides. A third cutter 7 is detachably connected to one side of the first cutter 2 through the toothed groove 14. A filling block 6 is detachably connected to the other side of the first cutter 2 through the toothed groove 14. A connecting block 3 is detachably connected to the center of the disc body 1. An interface 4 is fixedly installed inside the connecting block 3. A second cutter 5 and a limiting protrusion 10 are also fixedly installed on the edge of the connecting block 3. The second cutter 5 and the limiting protrusion 10 are staggered at eight equal division points of the connecting block 3.

[0019] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. The disc body 1 serves as the main structure. The first cutter 2 at the edge performs the main cutting operation when the cutter head rotates. The first cutter 2 is connected to a third cutter 7 and a filler block 6 on both sides via toothed grooves 14. The third cutter 7 assists the first cutter 2 in enhancing the cutting effect, while the filler block 6 fills the space to ensure cutting stability. The connecting block 3 at the center of the disc body 1 is connected to the drive system via an interface 4, driving the entire cutter head to rotate. Second cutters 5 and limiting protrusions 10 are staggered at eight equal division points along the edge of the connecting block 3. The second cutters 5 cut the soil in the central area, while the limiting protrusions 10 limit the soil movement during the cutting process. To prevent excessive soil displacement, all components work together to complete the cutting operation on the soil. The disc body 1, the first cutter 2, and the connecting block 3 are all detachably connected. The first cutter 2, the third cutter 7, and the filler block 6 are detachably connected through the toothed groove 14, which facilitates the installation, replacement, and maintenance of each component, reducing maintenance costs and time. The combination of the first cutter 2, the second cutter 5, and the third cutter 7 can adapt to the cutting needs of different areas and improve cutting efficiency. The design of the toothed groove 14 makes the installation of the third cutter 7 and the filler block 6 more stable. The limiting protrusion 10 can reduce soil disturbance during cutting and ensure construction stability. The filler block 6 can be flexibly replaced according to the actual working conditions, enhancing the adaptability of the cutter disc to different strata.

[0020] Example 2: Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a protrusion 8 is fixedly installed on one side edge of the upper surface of the second cutter 5, and an extension 9 is fixedly installed on the other side edge of the upper surface of the second cutter 5. A positioning groove 13 is provided at the junction of the disc body 1 and the limiting protrusion 10. A receiving groove 11 is provided at the junction of the disc body 1 and the second cutter 5. A notch 12 is provided at the junction of the receiving groove 11 and the extension 9.

[0021] The overall effect of this embodiment is that the disc body 1 serves as the basic carrier of the cutter head, and the receiving groove 11 on it is used to place the second cutter 5. The protrusion 8 on one side of the upper surface of the second cutter 5 can enhance the crushing ability when cutting soil. The extension 9 on the other side is embedded into the receiving groove 11 during installation and is adapted to the notch 12 at the junction of the receiving groove 11 to achieve initial positioning. At the same time, the positioning groove 13 at the junction of the disc body 1 and the limiting protrusion 10 cooperates with the limiting protrusion 10 on the connecting block 3 to accurately limit the second cutter 5 and surrounding components, ensuring that the position of each component is stable during the rotation of the cutter head to cut the soil. The second cutter 5 completes the soil cutting operation. The protrusion 8 improves the efficiency and crushing effect of the second cutter 5 in cutting the soil, and enhances the cutting ability of the cutter head on the soil. The adaptable structure of the extension 9, the receiving groove 11, and the notch 12 makes the installation of the second cutter 5 on the disc body 1 more convenient and the positioning more accurate, ensuring the overall structural stability of the cutter head. The positioning groove 13 and the limiting protrusion 10 work together to further limit the displacement of the components during operation, avoid the displacement of the components due to vibration, improve the reliability and continuity of the cutter head operation, optimize the soil cutting operation performance of the pipe jacking machine cutter head, and help to carry out pipe jacking construction efficiently.

[0022] The device's operation and working principle are as follows: The disc body 1 serves as the main structure. A detachable first cutter 2 at the edge is connected via toothed grooves 14 on both sides to a third cutter 7 for auxiliary cutting and a filling block 6 for filling space. A detachable connecting block 3 at the center is connected to the drive system via an interface 4. A second cutter 5 and a limiting protrusion 10 are staggered at eight equally spaced points along its edge. On the second cutter 5, a protrusion 8 enhances the crushing capacity, and an extension 9 is embedded in the receiving groove 11 of the disc body 1 and initially positioned by adapting to the notch 12. The positioning groove 13 of the disc body 1 and the limiting protrusion 10 of the connecting block 3 precisely limit the second cutter 5 and surrounding components. During operation, the drive system rotates the cutter head via the interface 4. The first cutter 2 primarily performs edge cutting, while the third cutter 7 assists and the filling block 6 ensures stability. The second cutter 5 cuts the central soil, and the limiting protrusion 10 restricts soil displacement. All components work together to complete soil cutting.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
