First,
In the conventional floor cutting machine, a rear wheel is provided at one side of a main frame, a cutting blade is provided at the other side of the main frame, and the cutting blade is set to be moved simultaneously with movement of the main frame.
A front wheel attached to a lower end of the main frame may be adjusted to adjust operation (inclination) of the main frame. Specifically, upward-downward movement of the cutting blade may be adjusted about the rear wheel fixed to the main frame.
In the conventional floor cutting machine, therefore, the cutting blade is always moved together with the main frame. That is, in the conventional floor cutting machine, the main frame is also moved in order to adjust the cutting blade upwards and downwards. As a result, the main frame is inclined relative to a floor, as shown in
In addition, the conventional floor cutting machine has a problem in that, for a floor cutting machine configured such that power is provided to the rear wheel, when the main frame is inclined, the angle of the floor cutting machine is changed, and it is difficult to adjust the angle of the floor cutting machine. In addition, the conventional floor cutting machine has a problem in that a worker lifts a handle provided at a rear part of the floor cutting machine to move the floor cutting machine; however, when the main frame is inclined, load is applied to the rear part of the floor cutting machine, and therefore it is not easy for the worker to move the floor cutting machine. In addition, the conventional floor cutting machine has a problem in that direction change and cutting angle adjustment are difficult, whereby cutting performance is greatly deteriorated. In order to solve these problems, a floor cutting machine proposed by the present invention includes a cutting frame in addition to the main frame, and is configured such that the cutting blade is moved separately from the main frame. This will be described below.
In addition,
Hereinafter, the direction in which the floor cutting machine is moved forwards while cutting will be defined as a front and the opposite direction will be defined as a rear in order to assist in understanding the description.
Referring to
In general, the floor cutting machine straightly cuts a floor (e.g. concrete or rock). To this end, the floor cutting machine may include a power engine/motor and a speed reducer. The main frame 100 may support equipment necessary to cut the floor, such as the power engine/motor and the speed reducer. The equipment may be directly or indirectly located at an upper end of the main frame. As described above, the main frame 100 is a frame configured to support the floor cutting machine.
A plurality of (e.g. two) rear wheels 110 may be provided in the vicinity of the rear of the main frame 100 (e.g. opposite sides of the rear of the main frame), and a plurality of (e.g. two) front wheels 120 may be provided in the vicinity of the front of the main frame 100 (e.g. opposite sides of the front of the main frame). Here, the diameter of the front wheel 120 may be less than the diameter of the rear wheel 110.
Referring to
Referring to
Next, the floor cutting machine according to the present invention may include the cutting frame 200. One side of the cutting frame 200 may be fixed to the vicinity of the rear of the main frame 100, and the other side of the cutting frame may be moved upwards and downwards.
In addition, the cutting shaft 230 may be located in the vicinity of the other side of the cutting frame 200, and cutting blade 300 may be fitted on opposite sides of the cutting shaft 230.
As can be seen from
A hydraulic cylinder S (hereinafter referred to as a first hydraulic cylinder so as to be distinguished from a hydraulic cylinder described below) may be provided as a power source necessary to move the cutting frame 200. The first hydraulic cylinder S may be connected to the main frame 100 and the cutting frame 200 therebetween to move the other side of the cutting frame 200 upwards and downwards.
That is, when the length of the first hydraulic cylinder S is increased by the movement of a piston thereof, the other side of the cutting frame 200 is moved upwards, and when the length of the first hydraulic cylinder is decreased, the other side of the cutting frame 200 is moved downwards. A worker may manipulate only the first hydraulic cylinder S in order to control upward and downward movement of the cutting blade 300.
Referring to
First, the auxiliary wheel 400 is located farther forwards than the rear wheel 110. Specifically, the auxiliary wheel may be located between the front wheel 120 and the rear wheel 110 at a position closer to the rear wheel 110.
For reference, two auxiliary wheels 400 are included in the floor cutting machine, and the two auxiliary wheels 400 may be located ahead of the two rear wheels 110, respectively.
The auxiliary wheel 400 may be moved upwards and downwards by the second hydraulic cylinder 410, which is located at an upper end of the auxiliary wheel. That is, the worker may control the position of the auxiliary wheel 400 by manipulating the second hydraulic cylinder 410.
The second hydraulic cylinder 410 may be located between two pillar frames 131 (configured to support the shielding cover 130), a description of which will follow. Specifically, the second hydraulic cylinder may be located immediately behind a front-side pillar frame, which is one of the two pillar frames 131.
When the auxiliary wheel 400 is located above, the auxiliary wheel 400 does not contact the floor, and the floor cutting machine 10 is supported on the floor through the two front wheels 120 and the two rear wheels 110, whereby the floor cutting machine is operated in a four-wheel-drive mode.
When the auxiliary wheel 400 is located below, the two rear wheels 110 do not contact the floor, and the floor cutting machine is supported on the floor through the two front wheels 120 and the two auxiliary wheels 400, whereby the floor cutting machine is also operated in a four-wheel-drive mode. That is, the auxiliary wheel 400 can replace the rear wheel 110.
The reason that the auxiliary wheel 400 can replace the rear wheel 110, as described above, is that the auxiliary wheel 400 is rotatable, unlike the rear wheel 110, whereby it is possible to adjust the direction of the auxiliary wheel.
That is, the worker may move the auxiliary wheel 400 downwards using the second hydraulic cylinder 410, and may rotate the auxiliary wheel 400 in order to operate the floor cutting machine 10.
Meanwhile, although not concretely shown in the drawings, the section of the cutting blade 300 according to the present invention may have a circular shape, and recesses configured to cut the floor may be provided in an outer circumference of the circular shape at regular intervals. The shape of each recess may be changed depending on circumstances. In most cases, the recess may have a quadrangular shape.
The cutting frame 200 according to the present invention may include a power motor 220 and a speed reducer (not shown) provided at an upper end thereof. The power motor 220 and the speed reducer, which are equipment configured to support movement of the floor cutting machine 10, may be controlled by the worker or a wireless controller.
In addition, a plurality of pillar frames 131 connected to the main frame 100 is located at a rear side of the floor cutting machine, and the pillar frames may support the shielding cover 130. For reference, the shielding cover 130 may protect the power motor 220 and the speed reducer.
As can be seen from
In addition, the floor cutting machine may further include a second dust collection cover fixing pin 150 located in front of the front frame 140 in order to attach a dust collection cover 500. The floor cutting machine may further include a first dust collection cover fixing pin 160 located at the main frame 100 so as to be adjacent to the rear of the front wheel 110.
The first dust collection cover fixing pin 160 and the second dust collection cover fixing pin 150 are pins for coupling the dust collection cover 500 according to the present invention.
Specifically, a first pillar 520, a second pillar 530, and a third pillar 540 may be provided as elements that connect the dust collection cover 500 to the floor cutting machine. The first dust collection cover fixing pin 160 may be inserted into the first pillar 520 so as to be connected thereto, and the second dust collection cover fixing pin 150 may be inserted into the second pillar 530 so as to be connected thereto.
That is, a recess may be formed in a lower end of each of the first pillar 520 and the second pillar 530, and the first dust collection cover fixing pin 160 and the second dust collection cover fixing pin 150 may be inserted into the respective recesses.
Consequently, it is possible to easily connect (install) the dust collection cover 500 to (at) the floor cutting machine and to easily detach the dust collection cover from the floor cutting machine.
In addition, the third pillar 540 may connect upper ends of the first pillar 520 and the second pillar 530 to each other, whereby the first pillar 520, the second pillar 530, and the third pillar 540 may be disposed in the form of “[”.
Meanwhile, movement of the dust collection cover 500 according to the present invention is manipulated by a wire 550 connected and fixed to an upper end thereof, and a wire manipulation unit is provided as a part configured to support manipulation of the wire 550.
The wire manipulation unit may include a controller, such as an operation lever 560. In addition, the wire manipulation unit may manipulate movement of the wire 550 using a hydraulic cylinder. For reference, the wire manipulation unit may be located in the vicinity of the shielding cover 130.
One side of the wire 550 may be fixed to the upper end of the dust collection cover 500, the wire may extend over a roller located at a middle part of the third pillar 540, and the other side of the wire may be fixed to the wire manipulation unit.
That is, the wire 550 is an element that connects the wire manipulation unit and the dust collection cover 500 therebetween. Movement of the wire 550 may be manipulated by the wire manipulation unit, and the dust collection cover 500, fixed to one side of the wire 550, may also be moved upwards and downwards. Since the dust collection cover 500 can be moved upwards and downwards by the wire manipulation unit, it is possible for the worker to easily recognize the position of the cutting blade or the position to be cut, whereby worker's cutting speed may be remarkably increased.
Meanwhile, the dust collection cover 500, the first pillar 520, and the second pillar 530 may be connected to each other as follows.
First, the dust collection cover 500 may be provided with a plurality of fixing recesses, and the plurality of fixing recesses may include a first fixing recess 521, a second fixing recess 522, a third fixing recess 531, and a fourth fixing recess 532. Here, each of the fixing recesses may have a through-hole vertically formed therethrough such that a corresponding one of the pillars can be inserted thereinto. One surface of the fixing recess is attached and fixed to the dust collection cover 500.
The first pillar 520 may be inserted into the first fixing recess 521, located at a lower end thereof, and the second fixing recess 522, located an upper end thereof, so as to be connected to the dust collection cover 500. The second pillar 530 may be inserted into the third fixing recess 531, located at a lower end thereof, and the fourth fixing recess 532, located an upper end thereof, so as to be connected to the dust collection cover 500.
At this time, a first spring 523 may be provided on the first pillar 520 between the second fixing recess 522 and the third pillar 540, and a second spring 533 may be provided on the second pillar 530 between the fourth fixing recess 532 and the third pillar 540.
The first spring 523 and the second spring 533 may apply elastic force to the dust collection cover 500 in a direction toward the floor, whereby the dust collection cover 500 may be easily brought into contact with the floor.
The dust collection cover 500 according to the present invention serves to wrap the cutting blade 300 of the floor cutting machine and to collect dust, water, and sludge generated during operation of the cutting blade 300 (dust collection effect). In addition, the dust collection cover may remove noise generated during work (soundproof effect).
In order to achieve the dust collection effect and the soundproof effect, the dust collection cover 500 includes the following elements.
First, a rubber cover 580 made of a rubber material is attached to a lower end of the dust collection cover 500, and the rubber cover 580 serves to collect waste (e.g. dust) generated during operation of the cutting blade 300 so as not to be discharged to the outside. The rubber cover 580 made of the rubber material is very useful to collect water, sludge, etc. so as not to leak to the floor.
In addition, a dust collection port 510 may be provided at a rear of the lower end of the dust collection cover 500 to discharge waste collected by the rubber cover 580 in one place. In an embodiment, waste collected by external power may be discharged through the dust collection port 510.
In addition, a wheel 590 may be provided at each of a front and the rear of the lower end of the dust collection cover 500 such that the dust collection cover 500 can be easily moved even during work. The wheel 590 is attached to a lower end of an outside of the dust collection cover 500. Two wheels may be provided at each of a left side and a right side of the dust collection cover, and therefore a total of four wheels 590 may be provided.
For reference, during operation of the cutting blade 300, the rubber cover 580 may be brought into tight contact with the floor, whereby the dust collection effect and the soundproof effect may be maximized.
In an embodiment, the wheel 590 may be located higher (by about 5 mm) than the rubber cover 580 during work, whereby the dust collection effect and the soundproof effect of the rubber cover 580 may not be impeded. When the floor cutting machine is moved, the dust collection cover 500 may be moved upwards such that the wheel 590 is moved downwards.
In another embodiment, the wheel 590 may be located lower than the rubber cover 580 during work in the state in which there is little gap between the rubber cover 580 and the floor, whereby the dust collection effect and the soundproof effect may be achieved.
Meanwhile, a hole 570 may be formed in the dust collection cover 500 so as to extend from the center to the lower end thereof, and a central part of the cutting blade 300 may be moved upwards and downwards in the hole 570. That is, the worker may check the movement of the cutting blade 300 in the hole 570.
In addition, a plurality of brushes may be provided in the hole 570 (the brushes may be attached to left and right sides of the hole) so as to cover the hole such that waste generated by the cutting blade is not discharged to the outside. The brushes may be made of a flexible material, such as rubber, and may have a bendable structure.
In the present invention, only the cutting frame 200 may be moved upwards and downwards in the state in which the main frame 100 is fixed, and therefore the cutting blade 300 fixed to the cutting frame 200 may be moved upwards and downwards.
In addition, the dust collection cover 500 according to the present invention may be moved separately from the main frame 100, unlike an existing dust collection cover, and may be moved upwards and downwards by a separate manipulation unit.
Since the main frame 100 and the cutting blade 300 are moved separately from each other and the dust collection cover 500 is moved separately therefrom, as described above, it is possible for the worker to effectively collect dust generated during work and to eliminate noise.
If the dust collection cover always covers the cutting blade, it is difficult to find the position to be cut or the position of the cutting blade. In contrast, according to the present invention, it is possible for the worker to move the dust collection cover 500 upwards even in the state in which the cutting blade 300 is located below in order to accurately locate the cutting blade at the position to be cut while looking thereat with the naked eye.
Meanwhile, although not shown, a cutting stop frame configured to stop the cutting shaft 230 through a simple structure may be provided.
The cutting stop frame may be provided at an upper side of the cutting frame 200, and one side of the cutting stop frame may be hinged to the cutting frame 200 such that the cutting stop frame can be moved upwards and downwards. For reference, the other side of the cutting stop frame is not connected to the cutting frame 200, and the cutting shaft 230 may be located under the other side of the cutting stop frame. In addition, the power engine 220 and the speed reducer may be located at an upper side of the cutting stop frame.
When the cutting stop frame is moved downwards, pressure is applied to the cutting shaft 230 attached to the cutting frame 200 due to the power engine 220, the speed reducer, and the weight of the cutting stop frame. That is, force is applied downwards to the cutting shaft due to the weight of the cutting stop frame, whereby the cutting blade 300 is not operated, and therefore cutting is stopped.
That is, the worker may move only the cutting stop frame to stop the operation of the cutting blade 300, thereby stopping the cutting work.
The floor cutting machine according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in
Consequently, the three-wheeled floor cutting machine may be configured to have a structure including two front wheels 120 and one rear wheel 110′.
The floor cutting machine shown in
The direction change of the three-wheeled floor cutting machine may be easily performed, and therefore the three-wheeled floor cutting machine may perform 360-degree rotation. Consequently, the three-wheeled floor cutting machine may perform circular cutting.
Meanwhile, the three-wheeled floor cutting machine may include auxiliary wheels 400 provided at opposite sides thereof in front of the rear wheel 110′, and the auxiliary wheels 400 may be moved upwards and downwards by second hydraulic cylinders 410 located at upper ends thereof.
When the auxiliary wheels 400 are located above, the floor cutting machine is supported on the floor through the two front wheels 120 and the one rear wheel 110′, whereby the floor cutting machine is operated in a three-wheel-drive mode. When the auxiliary wheels 400 are located below, the rear wheel 110′ does not contact the floor, and the floor cutting machine is supported on the floor through the two front wheels 120 and the two auxiliary wheels 400, whereby the floor cutting machine is operated in a four-wheel-drive mode.
For reference, the three-wheeled floor cutting machine is different in only the number of wheels from the four-wheeled floor cutting machine, and therefore the above description of the four-wheeled floor cutting machine may be equally applied to the three-wheeled floor cutting machine.
When the floor cutting machine according to the present invention is a four-wheeled floor cutting machine, the power wheels may be the rear wheels 110. When the floor cutting machine according to the present invention is a three-wheeled floor cutting machine, the power wheel may be the rear wheel 110′.
Driving force may be applied to the power wheel 110 or 110′ by the power motor 220. For example, when the power motor 220 rotates one turn in the state in which the diameter of the power wheel 110 or 110′ is about 15 cm, the power wheel 110 or 110′ is rotated one turn. In this case, the floor cutting machine is moved about 50 cm (3.14×15).
In order for the floor cutting machine to cut iron reinforcing rods or concrete, the power motor 220 must be driven at a high speed; however, the floor cutting machine must be moved very slowly. In many cases, the floor cutting machine must not be moved 20 cm or more per minute. If the power motor 220 is directly connected to the power wheel 110 or 110′, therefore, accuracy and safety of the floor cutting machine may be reduced. Furthermore, the power motor 220 must rotate at least 15 to 20 turns per minute in order to generate effective power. If the power motor is directly connected to the power wheel, as shown in
Particularly, in the conventional floor cutting machine, when the power motor 220 is driven and the floor cutting machine seems to be excessively moved forwards, the worker manually controls movement of the floor cutting machine. In this case, much effort of the worker is required, and accuracy control is not possible. In the floor cutting machine according to the present invention, the speed reducer 170 is connected to the power motor 220 and the power wheel 110 or 110′ therebetween. In the floor cutting machine according to the present invention, a wireless controller (e.g. a wireless remote controller) is provided to wirelessly control the power motor 220 and the speed reducer 170, whereby it is possible to accurately control the cutting work.
That is, in the floor cutting machine according to the present invention, the power motor 220 and the power wheel 110 or 110′ are connected to each other via the speed reducer 170. Control may be performed such that the floor cutting machine is slowly moved forwards to cut the floor while the power motor 220 is driven at a high speed (or at a high output) through control of the speed reducer 170. For example, when the speed reducer 170 is set to have a reduction ratio of 30:1, the power wheel 110 or 110′ is rotated one turn when the power motor 220 rotates 30 turns, and therefore it is possible to accurately control movement of the floor cutting machine.
In addition, when the floor cutting machine according to the present invention performs floor cutting work on a ramp, the floor cutting work on the ramp may be easily performed using the speed reducer 170. Since the power motor 220 has no brake function, the floor cutting machine moves downwards along the ramp even though the power motor 220 is not driven. When the speed reducer 170 is provided, however, the speed reducer 170 performs the brake function, whereby the floor cutting machine is controlled, and therefore the work on the ramp may be easily performed. Consequently, it is possible to accurately control the floor cutting work. In particular, for the three-wheeled floor cutting machine, the power wheel 110′ is rotatable, whereby direction control is also possible. When the speed reducer 170 is also provided, therefore, it is possible to accurately adjust the direction and the forward movement speed of the floor cutting machine.
Most current floor cutting machines are four-wheeled floor cutting machines. When the three-wheeled floor cutting machine 10 is used, direction change in a narrow space is easily performed, and more rapid direction change is possible.
