Abstract

The invention relates to a cutting tooth for a ground working implement, particularly for a cutting wheel of a trench wall cutter, with a dedendum for reception in a holder of the ground working implement and at least one main cutting element for working the soil located at the top on the dedendum. For widening the working cross-section of the main cutting element at least one further reaming element is provided at the top on the dedendum and which, compared with the main cutting element, has a different cutting edge design.

Claims (32)

1. Cutting tooth for a cutting wheel of a trench wall cutter, the cutting wheel having a holder, the cutting tooth comprising:

a dedendum for reception in the holder of the cutting wheel, the dedendum having a top, a longitudinal axis, and an advance direction approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis,

at least one main cutting element located at the top of the dedendum, the at least one main cutting element having a main cutting direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the dedendum and having at least one wedge-shaped cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge extends substantially perpendicular to the main cutting direction and roughly parallel to the longitudinal axis of the dedendum,

at least one reaming element located laterally on the dedendum, the at least one reaming element having a pin-type cutting edge and being configured for widening the working cross-section of the main cutting element, wherein with reference to the main cutting direction, the at least one reaming element projects laterally over the main cutting element and over the dedendum, and

at least one further cutting element located laterally on the dedendum, on the same side as the at least one reaming element, and below the at least one reaming element, when seen in the advance direction of the dedendum, the at least one further cutting element having a pin-type cutting edge;

wherein the at least one main cutting element is arranged in a leading manner relative to the at least one reaming element in the main cutting direction on the dedendum;

wherein:

the at least one main cutting element has at least one longitudinal cutting edge at right angles to the main cutting direction;

the cutting tooth further comprises two secondary cutting edges connected in V-shaped manner to the at least one longitudinal cutting edge; and

when considered in the main cutting direction, the longitudinal cutting edge is laterally displaced relative to a median plane of the dedendum in a direction towards the reaming element.

2. Cutting tooth according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the at least one reaming element has a round shaft bit.

3. Cutting tooth according to claim 1 ,

further comprising

at least one reception sleeve provided on the dedendum, and having a corresponding reaming element replaceably provided therein.

4. Cutting tooth according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one reception sleeve has a circular internal cross-section.

5. Cutting tooth according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one reception sleeve has an oval internal cross-section.

6. Cutting tooth according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the cutting width of the at least one main cutting element is smaller than the width of the dedendum.

7. Cutting tooth according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one reaming element and the at least one further cutting element both have round shaft bits, each round shaft bit having a longitudinal axis, and wherein the longitudinal axis of the round shaft bit of the at least one further cutting element is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the round shaft bit of the at least one reaming element.

8. Cutting tooth according to claim 1 , wherein in a direction relative to the advance direction, the pin-type cutting edge of the at least one reaming element, is approximately at the same height as the main cutting element.

9. Cutting tooth according to claim 1 , wherein there are two further cutting elements.

10. Cutting tooth for a cutting wheel of a trench wall cutter, the cutting wheel having a holder, the cutting tooth comprising:

a dedendum for reception in the holder of the cutting wheel, the dedendum having a top, a longitudinal axis, and an advance direction approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis,

at least one main cutting element located at the top of the dedendum, the at least one main cutting element having a main cutting direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the dedendum and having at least one wedge-shaped cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge extends substantially perpendicular to the main cutting direction and roughly parallel to the longitudinal axis of the dedendum,

at least one reaming element located laterally on the dedendum, the at least one reaming, element having a pin-type cutting edge and being configured for widening the working cross-section of the main cutting element, wherein with reference to the main cutting direction, the at least one reaming element projects laterally over the main cutting element and over the dedendum, and

at least one further cutting element located laterally on the dedendum, on the same side as the at least one reaming element, and below the at least one reaming element, when seen in the advance direction of the dedendum, the at least one further cutting element having a pin-type cutting edge;

wherein the at least one main cutting element is arranged in a leading manner relative to the at least one reaming element in the main cutting direction on the dedendum, and

wherein the main cutting element has a width, when seen at right angles to the main cutting direction, that unilaterally projects laterally over the dedendum on the side where the at least one reaming element and the at least one further cutting element are located.

11. Cutting tooth according to claim 10 , wherein on the side remote from the at least one reaming element, the main cutting element, terminates flush with the flank of the underlying dedendum.
