DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the following embodiment is merely an example of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, its applications, or its uses.
[0013] [Structure of the crusher] This embodiment is a crusher (cutting device) 10 that is connected to the arm of a construction machine when used. As shown in Fig. 1, the crusher 10 includes a main body frame 4, a pair of blade frames (movable jaws) 1, 2, a shaft structure 20 that rotatably connects the pair of blade frames 1, 2, a drive unit 3 that drives the pair of blade frames 1, 2 to open and close, and a connection part 5 for connecting to the arm of the construction machine.
[0014] The main body frame 4 has a pair of plate portions 14 held at a fixed distance. The plate portions 14 are flat. The main body frame 4 has a vertically elongated shape when viewed from the front. The main body frame 4 is provided with an axis structure 20 on one side in the longitudinal direction (the lower side in FIG. 1), and a connecting portion 5 is attached to the opposite side. The lower portions of the pair of plate portions 14 on the axis structure 20 side constitute a pair of holding portions 14a that sandwich a second bearing portion 8 described later. On the connecting portion 5 side of the main body frame 4, connecting points for a hydraulic cylinder 3 described later are provided symmetrically about the longitudinal center line.
[0015] The blade frames 1, 2 are arranged so that their inner portions face each other. At least the base side of the inner side of each blade frame 1, 2 is provided with blade portions 1a, 2a used when cutting steel materials and the like. The blade portion 1a of the first blade frame 1 and the blade portion 2a of the second blade frame 1 are arranged slightly offset in the thickness direction of each blade frame 1, 2 (see FIG. 4(a)). In the thickness direction, the blade portion 1a side of the blade portion 1a of the first blade frame 1 and the blade portion 2a of the second blade frame 1 is referred to as the front side.
[0016] The drive unit 3 is composed of a pair of hydraulic cylinders 3. In the crusher 10, one of the end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 on the cylinder 3a side and the tip of the piston rod 3b is rotatably connected to the main body frame 4, and the other is rotatably connected to the outer end of the base side of the blade frames 1, 2. The pair of blade frames 1, 2 open and close as the piston rod 3b of the pair of hydraulic cylinders 3 advances and retreats.
[0017] 2, shaft structure 20 includes a straight, cylindrical pin member 6, a cylindrical first bearing portion 7 on the inside of which pin member 6 is disposed and which rotatably supports pin member 6, and a second bearing portion 8 on the inside of which first bearing portion 7 is disposed and which rotatably supports first bearing portion 7. Shaft structure 20 has a double bearing structure.
[0018] As shown in Figs. 3(a)-(b), the first bearing portion 7 is integrated with the base side (upper side in Fig. 3) of the inside (blade side) of the first blade frame 1. The first bearing portion 7 is formed in a cylindrical shape as described above, and the pin member 6 is inserted into the through hole 7a on the inside. The first blade frame 1 is joined to the middle height of the outer circumferential surface of the first bearing portion 7 (see Fig. 2). The portion of the first bearing portion 7 that protrudes from one side of the first blade frame 1 and the portion that protrudes from the other side of the first blade frame 1 form boss portions 7b.
[0019] The second bearing portion 8 has a hook portion 11 integrated with the base side (upper side in FIG. 3) on the inside (blade side) of the second blade frame 2, and a cap portion 12 detachably attached to the hook portion 11. The hook portion 11 and the cap portion 12 both have arc-shaped inner surfaces 11a, 12a when viewed from the front. The hook portion 11 is provided so that the inner surface 11a faces outward. The cap portion 12 is attached to the hook portion 11 by a fixing member 13 such as a screw. In this state, the arc-shaped inner surface 11a of the hook portion 11 and the arc-shaped inner surface 12a of the cap portion 12 form a bearing surface of the second bearing portion 8.
[0020] When attaching the second blade frame 2 to the first blade frame 1, the first bearing portion 7 is first hooked onto the hook portion 11, and then the cap portion 12 is attached to the hook portion 11.
[0021] 3(a) and 3(b), the hook portion 11 is formed in a hook shape when viewed from the front. When viewed from the front, the width of the hook portion 11 gradually narrows from the base side to the tip.
[0022] As shown in Fig. 3(c) and Fig. 3(d), the hook portion 11 has a slit (notch) 15 for passing the first blade frame 1 in the middle of the thickness direction. The slit 15 extends in the extension direction of the hook portion 11, and is formed from the installation position of the connection member 19 described later to the position of the dotted line X (see Fig. 3(a)). The hook portion 11 has a pair of hook portions 16 facing each other through the gap of the slit 15, a base portion 17 integrated with the roots of both of the pair of hook portions 16, and a plate-shaped connection member 19 connecting the tip sides of the pair of hook portions 16 to each other. The inner surface of each hook portion 16 is a flat surface. The pair of hook portions 16 are provided parallel to each other. The pair of hook portions 16 are provided so as to sandwich the vicinity 1b of the first blade frame 1 of the first bearing portion 7.
[0023] In the shaft structure 20, a bolt 9 is fastened to each end of the pin member 6 (see FIG. 2). The bolt 9 is pressed against the retaining portion 14a (plate portion 14). The pair of retaining portions 14a sandwich the pair of hook portions 16 and the base portion 17. The pair of retaining portions 14a is kept at a constant distance, and the pair of hook portions 16 is also kept at a constant distance.
[0024] When the pair of blade frames 1, 2 are opened and closed, the end faces of the bosses 7b of the first bearing 7 integrated with the first blade frame 1, the outer surfaces of the pair of hooks 16, the outer surface of the base 17, and the outer surface of the cap 12 are in sliding contact with the pair of plates 14. In addition, the inner surfaces of the pair of hooks 16 are in sliding contact with the portions 1b of the first blade frame 1 near the first bearing 7.
[0025] In the shaft structure 20, bushes 21, 22 are provided as a lubrication structure between the pin member 6 and the first bearing portion 7 and between the first bearing portion 7 and the second bearing portion 8. Between the pin member 6 and the first bearing portion 7, bushes 21 are provided on both the front and back sides. Also, between the first bearing portion 7 and the second bearing portion 8, bushes 22 are provided on both the front and back sides. A gap is formed between the bushes 21, 22 on the front and back sides.
[0026] [Effects of the embodiment] In this embodiment, even if the first blade frame 1 opens to the front side and the second blade frame 2 opens to the back side when shearing steel material or the like, the second bearing portion 8 integrated with the second blade frame 2 is sandwiched between a pair of holding portions 14a of the main frame 4, and a portion 1b near the first bearing portion 7 of the first blade frame 1 is sandwiched between a pair of hook portions 16 of the second bearing portion. This prevents the first blade frame 1 from opening to the front side and the second blade frame 2 from opening to the back side, making it possible to prevent the pair of blade frames 1, 2 from opening in the thickness direction when shearing steel material or the like.
[0027] In this embodiment, the pair of hooks 16 are provided to sandwich the portion 1b adjacent to the first bearing 7 in the first blade frame 1, so that the height dimension (length of the boss portion) of the first bearing 7 and the second bearing 8 is relatively large. Therefore, even if the dismantling attachment described in Patent Document 1 does not have a sliding surface provided on the opposite side to the opposing portion, the shaft structure 20 with a double bearing structure can stably support the swinging rotation of each of the blade frames 1 and 2. The shaft structure 20 according to this embodiment is useful for a crusher that is required to have a small gap in the thickness direction between the pair of blade frames 1 and 2.
[0028] In this embodiment, each of the blade frames 1, 2 is provided with a support portion (support stand) 30 for supporting the object to be crushed 25 (object to be cut) such as a steel bar when the object to be crushed 25 tends to tilt relative to each of the blade frames 1, 2 during cutting (see FIG. 4). The first blade frame 1 is provided with the support portion 30 on its back surface, and the second blade frame 2 is provided with the support portion 30 on its front surface.
[0029] The support portion 30 is formed in a plate shape, extends from one side of each blade frame 1, 2, and has a tip facing inward. The tip of the support portion 30 constitutes a support end 30a. The support end 30a extends along the cutting edges of the blade portions 1a, 2a in a front view (see FIG. 1(a)). In the first blade frame 1, the support end 30a is located diagonally outside the back side of the cutting edge of the blade portion 1a in a cross-sectional view. In the second blade frame 2, the support end 30a is located diagonally outside the front side of the cutting edge of the blade portion 2a. According to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4(b), even if the object to be crushed 25 tilts when the object to be crushed 25 is cut, the object to be crushed 25 is supported by the pair of support portions 30, so that the object to be crushed 25 can be prevented from tilting significantly. Therefore, the pair of blade frames 1, 2 can be prevented from opening due to the object to be crushed 25 tilting significantly. [Industrial Applicability]
