Definitions
- ABSTRACT A mounting assembly for a mining tool adapted to fit in a bit block consisting of a hub assembly having an axial opening therethrough of a size to journal a mining cutter bit.
- the bit block has a larger opening adapted to accept the hub assembly and permit rotation of the hub assembly in the bit block.
- the hub assembly extends over the bit block so that a seal can be mounted between the bit block and the hub assembly.
- a peripheralgroove is formed in the hub assembly'so that a screw can lock the hub assembly into the bit [56] References Cited block.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the hub assembly with the cutter bit in full view
- FIG. 2 is a top view of FIG. 1 having a partial section through lines 22 of FIG. 1.
- a bit block is attached to a continuous mining machine belt 11 by means of a weld or other suitable attaching means 12.
- the bit block 10 has an axial opening 13 for receiving a rotatably journaling hub assembly generally referred to as 14.
- Hub assembly 14 essentially comprises a cylinder portion 15, a second cylinder portion 16 having a larger diameter than portion 15, a downwardly extending circumferential lip 17, and an axial opening 18 adapted to receive cutter bit 19.
- a plurality of impact arms 20 is attached normal to the surface of cylindrical portion 16.
- Axial opening 18 has a circumferential groove 21 adapted to receive a locking ring 22 having a plurality of dimples 23 which snap into circumferential groove 21 and retain the cutter bit in axial opening 18.
- the cutter bit is of the usual type having a shank 30, a removal groove 31, a conical tip 32, and a hardened tungsten carbide insert tip 33.
- Cylindrical portion has a circumferential groove 40 which mates with a threaded opening 41 having a bolt 42 therein.
- the tip 43 of bolt 42 fits into groove 40 and retains hub assembly 14 in axial opening 13.
- the seal assembly comprises a projection 50 on the bit block 10 which has a recess 51. Seal 52 fits into recess 51 and extends to the inside of the circumferential lip 17. Since the seal is fairly well restrained from movement, no means need be provided for anchoring the seal in recess 51.
- the space between bit block and cylindrical portion 15 may be lubricated by any suitable lubricant, such as grease, oil, graphite, or the like. In some instances it may be preferable to leave any form of lubricant out of the space, since, in spite of the seal, some dust may get into the lubricant, causing the hub assembly to bind to bit block 10 when the dust mixes with the lubricant. Operation Unlike the prior art, dust, dirt and water are prevented from entering the bearing surface between bit block 10 and cylindrical portion 15 by virtue of the seal 52. Any dirt or dust entering the passageway will be blocked effectively by the seal.
- the seal also provides for free rotation of the hub assembly. The cutter bit 19 is also free to rotate. If the hub assembly should bind, bolt 42 can be removed and the hub assembly lifted out and cleaned. The seal can also easily be replaced using the same procedure.
- a second advantage is that, should the area around the shoulder of the cutter bit become damaged due to impacting of product, such as coal, the hub assembly can be removed; and a new one can be substituted without necessitating breaking the weld 12 and substituting an entire new bit block.
- the impacting arm 20 being formed on the cylindrical portion 16 provides a method of insuring rotation of the hub assembly. Since the impact arm 20 is mounted to the hub assembly, there is no need to provide additional impact arms on the cutter bit 19, thus reducing the cost of the cutter bit.
- Seal 52 may be made of any suitable seal material, such as rubber or one or more of the manufactured plastics.
- a sealed hub assembly has been disclosed which will function in spite of the environmental contaminants in the region of the cutter bit.
- the seal assembly furthermore, is easy to maintain.
- a mounting for a mining tool comprising:
- a hub assembly having an axial opening therethrough of a size to journal a mining cutter bit
- a hub assembly for a cutter bit comprising a bit block having an axial opening therein; a hub assembly having a cylindrical portion dimensioned to fit the axial opening in said bit block, said cylindrical portion having a length sufficient to extend from said axial opening, said portion extending from said axial opening having a circumferential lip, a circumferential seal; means for mounting said circumferential seal between said bit block and said circumferential lip; a peripheral groove in said cylindrical portion dimensioned to fit said axial opening in said bit block; retainer means mounted in 5.
- An assembly as described in claim 4 having a plusaid bit block and engaging said circumferential rality of impact arms mounted normal to the surface of groove; and an axial opening in said hub assembly of a said hub assembly.
