DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a so-called horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator for excavating ground by rotating a cutter drum.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A horizontal multi-axis rotary excavator for excavating the ground by rotating a cutter drum is widely used mainly for construction work of underground continuous walls under the name of hydrophrase excavator.

FIG. 6 shows an example of such a horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator. In the horizontal multi-axis rotary excavator 1 shown in FIG. 1, a pair of rotary cutters 5, 5 rotating in mutually opposite directions are interposed via a frame 4 having a T-shaped cross section, as can be clearly seen in FIG. And it is installed on both sides of the web constituting the frame.

[0004] In such a horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator 1, a main frame 2 is formed in a trench 3 by a crane (not shown).
Rotary cutter 5, 5
Is rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
The excavated earth and sand is sucked up together with the stabilizing liquid in the region sandwiched between the excavated soil 5 and the excavated earth and sand is carried out to the ground via a mud pipe 7 provided in the main body frame 2.

Here, the rotary cutter 5 is called a tooth bit protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum by rotating a cutter drum rotatably held by the T-shaped frame 4 by a drive motor (not shown). The excavation blade is used to cut the excavation ground.

[0006]

Conventionally, such a horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator has conventionally dealt with a considerably wide range of soil properties such as mudstone and soft rock, but in the case of a hard rock layer or a boulder, The tooth bit tip is worn out and the blade tip is severely dropped, and the replacement has to be performed frequently. In addition, when exchanging the teeth bit, the excavator needs to be pulled up from the trench 2 once. Therefore, when the number of times of exchanging the excavator increases, the construction period of the excavation work is greatly delayed.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and reduces the number of replacements of teeth bits when excavating hard rocks and the like, and can shorten the construction period of excavation work. An object is to provide a rotary excavator.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, a horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator according to the present invention has a mounting plate protruding from an outer peripheral surface of a cutter drum and is provided with the same. In a horizontal multi-axis rotary excavator in which a predetermined bit holder is mounted on a mounting plate, the bit holder is configured to hold a conical bit rotatably around a material axis.

Further, the horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator of the present invention comprises:
The bit holder is formed with an insertion hole through which the cylindrical insertion leg of the conical bit penetrates, and is prevented from falling off at the outlet end of the insertion hole by fitting into the peripheral surface of the end of the cylindrical insertion leg. A locking edge to which the ring is locked is formed.

[0010] The horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator of the present invention comprises:
The bit holder is mounted on the mounting plate such that the center axis of the insertion hole is approximately 40 degrees with respect to the radial direction of the cutter drum.

Further, the horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator of the present invention comprises:
The mounting plate is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum without providing a space for passing a soiling plate.

In the horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator of the present invention, the bit holder attached to the mounting plate protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum can hold the conical bit rotatably around the material axis. Once configured, a conical bit is attached to such a bit holder.

With this configuration, the conical bit arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum excavates the excavation ground by the rotation of the drum, but the conical bit freely rotates around its material axis. Therefore, the portion in contact with the excavation ground is not constant and constantly changes. Therefore, in the vicinity of the tip of the conical bit, the wear progresses uniformly and slowly over the entire circumference, and abrupt wear at a specific location, that is, uneven wear, is avoided.

The configuration of the bit holder capable of holding the conical bit so as to be rotatable around the material axis is arbitrary, but an insertion hole for passing the cylindrical insertion leg of the conical bit through the bit holder is provided. Once the stopper edge is formed at the outlet end of the insertion hole, the stopper edge is engaged with the stopper ring fitted on the end peripheral surface of the cylindrical insertion leg. In the meantime, the ring is locked on the locking edge of the insertion hole to prevent the conical bit from dropping out of the insertion hole, and by removing the fall-off prevention ring, the conical bit is removed. The bit can be removed from the insertion hole of the bit holder and replaced.

The angle at which the bit holder is attached to the mounting plate is arbitrary, but the bit holder is so positioned that the center axis of the insertion hole is approximately 40 ° with respect to the radial direction of the cutter drum. If it is mounted on the mounting plate, the bit mounting angle to the hard rock will be optimal, and the conical bit protruding sharply at the excavation ground will concentrate the excavator weight and impact load through its tip. While acting on the excavation ground, it digs into the ground firmly and excavates the ground efficiently.

The arrangement of the mounting plate on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum is arbitrary. However, if the mounting plate is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum without providing a space for passing the soiling plate, More bits can be arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum compared to the case where a scraper passing space is provided, and the excavation efficiency is improved, and the wear of each bit is reduced as the burden on each bit is reduced. It proceeds more slowly, and the number of bits exchanged is further improved.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of a horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be noted that the same reference numerals are given to components and the like that are substantially the same as those in the conventional technology, and description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 1 shows a horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator according to this embodiment. As can be seen from the figure, the horizontal multi-axis rotary excavator 11 of the present embodiment has a pair of rotary cutters 12 rotating in opposite directions attached to the lower end of the main body frame 2 via the T-shaped frame 4. is there. In FIG. 1, only the front side of the web 8 constituting the T-shaped frame 4 is shown.
A similar rotary cutter 12, 12 is provided on the opposite side of the rotary cutter.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the rotary cutter 12. As shown in FIG. As can be clearly understood from FIGS. 1 and 2, a number of mounting plates 14 are protruded from the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum 13 provided on each rotary cutter 12, and the mounting plates have bit holders 15, 17. Is fixed by welding or the like.

Here, a conventional tooth bit 18 (fixed type bit that does not rotate around the material axis) is attached to the bit holder 17, while a conical bit 16 is attached to the bit holder 15 around the material axis. Is mounted to be rotatable. That is, a circular insertion hole 21 is formed in the bit holder 15 as shown in FIG. 3, and the cylindrical insertion leg 31 of the conical bit 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 21 as shown in FIG. By being inserted, the bit holder 15 holds the conical bit 1
6 is rotatably held around the material axis (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4).

As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the bit holder 15 is provided with a locking edge 32 at the outlet end of the insertion hole 21 so that the cylindrical insertion leg of the conical bit 16 can be formed. When the drop-out prevention ring 34 is fitted into a ring groove 33 formed on the peripheral surface of the end of the insertion leg, the ring is locked as shown in FIG. It is designed to be locked at the edge 32.

Such a bit holder 15 is provided in the insertion hole 2
It is preferable that the mounting plate 14 is attached to the mounting plate 14 so that the center axis of the first cutter makes an angle of about 40 ° with the radial direction of the cutter drum 13. With such a configuration, the conical bit 16 is
As shown in (b), the cutter drum 13 is attached so as to form an angle of approximately 40 ° with respect to the radial direction.

FIG. 5 is an exploded view showing the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum 13. In the same figure, as can be seen from the arrangement of the conical bit 16, the conventional tooth bit 18 and the mounting plate 14, each bit is at its cutting edge position.
The mounting plate 14 is shown in its general shape.

As can be seen from the figure, the mounting plate 14 is arranged substantially along the direction of rotation of the drum (downward in the figure), but is twisted slightly counterclockwise from the direction of rotation, and is excavated. T-frame 4
To the web 8 side.

Further, the mounting plate 14 is arranged without securing a space for passing the soiling plate between adjacent rows (in the horizontal direction in FIG. 5). The number of conical bits 16 shown is 27 in total.

The conventional tooth bit 18 indicated by a black circle indicates the position of the cutting edge. The conventional tooth bit 18 is provided at five places on the outside and inside (on the side of the web 8 of the T-shaped frame 4) in such a manner that the conical bit 16 compensates for the portion that cannot be excavated. There are two locations.

In the horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator 11 of the present embodiment, the bit holder 15 mounted on the mounting plate 14 protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum 13 is turned around the conical bit 16 around the material axis. It is configured so that it can be held freely, and the conical bit 16 is attached to the bit holder 15.

In mounting, first, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the cylindrical insertion leg 31 of the conical bit 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 21 of the bit holder 15, and the insertion hole is penetrated. Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, a falling-off prevention ring 34 is fitted into a ring groove 33 formed on the peripheral surface of the end of the insertion leg.

In this case, since the falling-off prevention ring 34 is locked to the locking edge 32 of the bit holder 15, there is no possibility that the conical bit 16 will fall out of the insertion hole 21.

The conical bit 16 arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum 13 via the bit holder 15 excavates the excavation ground by the rotation of the drum. Since it freely rotates around the material axis, the portion in contact with the excavation ground is not constant and constantly changes. Therefore, in the vicinity of the tip of the conical bit 16, the wear progresses uniformly and slowly over the entire circumference, and abrupt wear at a specific location, that is, uneven wear, is avoided.

When replacing the conical bit 16, the captive ring 34 is first removed from the ring groove 33 of the conical bit 16, and then the conical bit 16 is removed from the bit holder 15. Pull out from the insertion hole 21.

As described above, according to the horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator 11 according to the present embodiment, the conical bit 16 freely rotates around the material axis during excavation. In the vicinity of the tip, wear progresses uniformly and slowly over the entire circumference. Therefore, uneven wear can be prevented beforehand, and the required number of replacements of bits can be significantly reduced. As a result of excavating the site using the horizontal multi-axis rotary excavator 11 according to the present embodiment, the bit wear rate is reduced to about 20% as compared with the case where a normal tooth bit is attached. For example, it was found that when a conical bit was used, it lasted about five times.

Further, according to the horizontal multi-axis rotary excavator 11 according to the present embodiment, the conical bit 1
6 is formed with an insertion hole 21 through which the cylindrical insertion leg 31 penetrates, and a falling-off prevention ring 34 fitted on an end peripheral surface of the cylindrical insertion leg 31 is locked at an outlet end of the insertion hole. Since the locking edge 32 is formed, the ring is locked to the locking edge 32 of the insertion hole 21 while the fall-prevention ring 34 is attached, so that the conical bit 16
The conical bit 16 can be pulled out of the insertion hole 21 of the bit holder 15 and replaced by removing the drop-off prevention ring 34.

According to the horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator 11 according to the present embodiment, the center axis of the insertion hole 21 of the bit holder 15 is set to be approximately 40 ° with respect to the radial direction of the cutter drum 13. Since the bit holder is mounted on the mounting plate 14, the mounting angle of the conical bit 16 with respect to the hard rock is optimized, and the conical bit 16 protruding at an excavation ground at an acute angle is connected to the excavator through its tip. The weight and impact load are concentrated on the excavated ground while digging into the ground to excavate the ground efficiently.

Further, according to the horizontal multi-axis rotary excavator 11 according to the present embodiment, the mounting plate 14 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum 13 without providing a space for passing the soiling plate. Compared to the case where there is a passage space,
It is possible to arrange more bits on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum 13, so that the excavation efficiency is improved and the wear of each bit proceeds more slowly because the load on each bit is reduced. The number of replacements is further improved.

That is, conventionally, in order to remove the mud adhering to the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum, a comb-shaped soiling plate is attached to the main body frame, and the row interval of the attachment plate protruding from the cutter drum is set to 50 mm. Although it is necessary to provide a space for passing the soil removing plate at a certain distance, in the present embodiment, there is no possibility that the mud will adhere to the cutter drum because the hard rock is targeted. For this reason, in the mounting plate 14 of the present embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a space for passing the soiling plate between adjacent rows (in the left-right direction in FIG. 5), and the number of bits can be increased accordingly.

In this embodiment, the conical bit is prevented from falling off by the fall-off prevention ring. Instead of this structure, the fall-off prevention may be achieved by using a pin which has been frequently used. .

In the present embodiment, conventional tooth bits are added to the outer and inner edges of the cutter drum for the purpose of supplementing the conical bits. However, such additional bits may be constituted by conical bits. It may be omitted in some cases.

In this embodiment, the bit holder 15
The bit holder is mounted on the mounting plate 14 such that the center axis of the insertion hole 21 is approximately 40 degrees with respect to the radial direction of the cutter drum 13, but the angle only shows an optimum value. Needless to say, angles deviating from the values are not excluded from the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the mounting plate 14 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum 13 without providing a space for passing the soiling plate. A board passing space may be provided.

[0041]

As described above, according to the horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator according to the first aspect of the present invention, the conical bit freely rotates around the material axis during excavation. In the vicinity of the tip of the bit, the wear progresses uniformly and slowly over the entire circumference. Therefore, uneven wear can be prevented beforehand, and the required number of replacements of bits can be significantly reduced.

According to the horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator of the present invention according to claim 2, in addition to the effect of claim 1, while the fall prevention ring is attached, the ring is inserted into the insertion hole. The falling edge of the conical bit is prevented by being locked to the locking edge of the conical bit, and the conical bit is pulled out from the insertion hole of the bit holder and easily replaced by removing the falling prevention ring. It also has the effect that it can be done.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, the mounting angle of the conical bit with respect to the hard rock is optimized, In this way, the excavator weight and impact load are intensively applied to the excavation ground, while the excavator firmly cuts into the excavation ground, thereby enabling an effective excavation.

According to the horizontal multi-shaft rotary excavator of the present invention according to claim 4, in addition to the effect of claim 1, more bits can be used as compared with the case where a clay plate passing space is provided. It can be arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cutter drum, which improves the excavation efficiency and reduces the burden on individual bits, so that each bit wears more slowly and the number of bit replacements is further improved. It also has the effect of
