Embodiment Construction

[0030] The present invention provides an axle guard assembly for any mobile machine having an axle and final ground engaging means (eg, wheels, tracks, etc.). Examples of these machines include machines / work machines used in compaction, mining, construction, farming, transportation, or any other industry known in the art. Additionally, one or more implements may be attached to the machine for a variety of tasks including, for example, compacting, moving, loading, lifting, wiping, and including, for example, blades, buckets, compactors, fork-lift Devices, brushes, grabs, cutters, shears, shovels, breakers / hammers, screw conveyors, etc.

[0031] For example, in some embodiments, an axle guard assembly is provided that includes a guard arrangement for inhibiting the intrusion of wound wire into and around components located at the junction between an axle and a wheel of a compaction machine. The shielding device can advantageously effectively protect the components at the closed...

Abstract

An axle guard assembly (134, 434) of a machine (100) protects against intrusion of wire wrap into a central cavity (152) of a ground engaging device (116). The guard (134, 434), which is mounted to the axle (118, 119), includes a wall (210, 511) disposed within the cavity (152) of the ground engaging device (116). A cover (212) can be provided which includes a flange (242) circumscribing a central portion (240). The central portion (240) is disposed axially inwardly of an inboard opening (154) to the cavity (152). The flange (242) can extend radially outwardly from the central portion (240) and axially outwardly toward the wall (210). The periphery (258) of the cover (212) can be configured to be larger than the inboard opening (154) to the cavity (152). In another aspect, a support vane (216) can be provided which extends along a longitudinal axis (X) between a first wall (210, 511) and a second wall (212, 510) and includes a planar vane surface (266) extending substantially radially to the longitudinal axis (X).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to compaction machines / compacting work machines, and more particularly to an axle guard assembly for a compaction machine to protect an axle / axle and related components from entangled debris and Damage caused by debris. Background technique [0002] In the operation of compaction machinery, especially of the type known as a dump compactor, the machine often travels to and from terrain that is covered with debris and trash. In the case of landfill compactors, machines are driven over all kinds of waste to compact or compress the waste so that more waste can be deposited in the available space provided by the landfill. [0003] A common and troublesome problem when operating a dump compactor in these conditions is encountering wires, cables, hoses, textile materials, long plastic straps and other strands of material that get tangled up on the wheels and of the dump compactor. around the axle. The teeth of drum ...
