【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、シールド掘削機や推進機等の先端部に装着されて、地山等の掘削に用いられるローラーカッターに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
この種のローラーカッターとして、図2に示すように、環状のカッター本体34と、カッター本体34の外周面に植設される超硬合金等の硬質材料からなるチップ35と、カッター本体34の中心部に挿着される軸部材36と、カッター本34体と軸部材36との間に介装されて、カッター本体34を回転自在に支持する軸受37とを備えたローラーカッター33が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
【0003】
また、図3に示すように、他のローラーカッターとして、外周面に複数のリング状の刃43を有するカッター本体42と、カッター本体42の中心部に装着される軸部材45とを備え、軸部材45によってカッター本体42に生じるスラスト荷重及びラジアル荷重を直接に支持するように構成したローラーカッター41が知られている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。
【0004】
上記のような構成のローラーカッター33、41にあっては、掘削機を駆動させて地山に押し付け反力によってカッター本体34、42を回転させることにより、カッター本体34、42の外周面のチップ35又は刃43によって地山等の掘削を行うことができるものである。

【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、上記のローラーカッター33、41のうち、特許文献1に記載されているローラーカッター33は、掘削時に大荷重を支持するために軸受に大荷重に耐えられる大型のものを使用しなければならない。このため、カッター本体34の厚みが薄くなり、強度が低下してしまう。この場合、小型の軸受37を使用してカッター本体34の厚みを厚くすることも考えられるが、その場合には軸受37が大荷重を支持しきれなくなるため、耐久性が著しく低下してしまう。
【0007】
一方、特許文献2に記載されているローラーカッター41は、軸部材45によってカッター本体42に作用するラジアル荷重及びスラスト荷重を直接に支持しているため、特許文献1に記載されているもののように、カッター本体42の厚みが薄くなって強度が不足したり、大荷重を支持しきれない等の問題が生じるようなことはない。しかし、構造上、カッター本体42と軸部材45との間に潤滑油を充分に供給することができないため、カッター本体42と軸部材45との間にかじり、焼き付き等が生じてしまう虞がある。
【0008】
本発明は、上記のような従来の問題に鑑みなさされたものであって、全体を大型化することなく、掘削時に生じる大荷重を確実に支持することができて、耐久性を高めることができるとともに、潤滑油を充分に供給することができて、潤滑不良によるかじり、焼き付き等が生じるのを完全に防止することができるローラーカッターを提供することを目的とするものである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記のような課題を解決するために、以下のような手段を採用している。すなわち、請求項1に係る発明は、中心部に貫通孔が設けられるカッター本体と、前記貫通孔内に外周側が圧入される環状の軸受と、該軸受の内周側に相対的に回転自在に挿着される軸部材とを備えたローラーカッターであって、前記軸受の摺動面及び前記軸部材の摺動面を、硬度がHrc55以上、硬度差がHrc10以内となるように構成したことを特徴とする。
この発明によるローラーカッターによれば、軸受の摺動面及び軸部材の摺動面は、硬度がHrc55以上、硬度差がHrc10以内となるように構成されているので、全体を大型化することなく、掘削時に作用する大荷重を確実に支持することができることになる。
【0010】
請求項2に係る発明は、請求項1に記載のローラーカッターであって、前記軸受を、超硬合金、セラミックス、サーメット、又は鋼で形成したことを特徴とする。
この発明によるローラーカッターによれば、軸受の強度を高めることができるので、掘削時に作用する大荷重を確実に支持することができることになる。
【0011】
請求項3に係る発明は、請求項1又は2に記載のローラーカッターであって、前記軸受の内周面又は前記軸部材の外周面の少なくとも何れか一方に、Ni系合金層又はCo系合金層を形成したことを特徴とする。
この発明によるローラーカッターによれば、軸受の内周面又は軸部材の外周面に形成したNi系合金層又はCo系合金層により、軸受と軸部材との間の摺動部にかじり、焼き付き等が生じるのを防止できることになる。
【0012】
請求項4に係る発明は、請求項1から3の何れかに記載のローラーカッターであって、前記軸受の内周面と前記軸部材の外周面との間に潤滑油貯留室を設けるとともに、該潤滑油貯留室に連通する潤滑油通路を前記軸部材に設けたことを特徴とする。
この発明によるローラーカッターによれば、軸部材の潤滑油通路を介して軸受と軸部材との間の潤滑油貯留室に潤滑油を供給することにより、軸受と軸部材との間が潤滑され、両者間に潤滑不良によるかじり、焼き付きが生じるのが防止されることになる。
