Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 An exemplary embodiment of a machine 10 is shown having track assemblies 12 on each side thereof. Machine 10 may perform some operation related to an industry such as mining, construction, or another industry known in the art. For example, if figure 1 As shown, machine 10 may be a continuous mining machine designed to cut and transport mineral material from an underground mine. However, it is contemplated that machine 10 may be a loader, tractor, excavator, tank, or another mobile machine with track-type traction devices. Machine 10 may have a frame 14 that may support one or more track assemblies 12 . Each track assembly 12 may include a track chain 16 , a sprocket assembly 18 and an idler assembly 20 . In an exemplary embodiment, as figure 1 As shown, the idler assembly 20 may be located near the front end 22 of the track chain 16 and the sprocket assembly 18 may be located near the rear end 24 of the track chain 16 .

[0022] Machine 10 may include a b...

Abstract

An upper transition assembly is disclosed. The upper transition assembly may have an upper spacer plate extending from a first spacer end to a second spacer end. The upper spacer plate may have a base portion having a first width. The upper spacer plate may also have a projection extending from the base portion. The projection may have a second width smaller than the first width. The upper transition assembly may also have a lower spacer plate extending from adjacent the first spacer end to a first distal end disposed between the first spacer end and the second spacer end. The lower spacer plate may have a third width about equal to the second width.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to an upper transition assembly, and more particularly to an upper transition assembly for a track-type machine. Background technique [0002] Earth-moving machines—for example, excavators, continuous miners, and loaders—commonly include a track-type undercarriage that facilitates movement of the machine over the ground. Such track-type machines typically include tracks on either side of the machine. Each track includes a chain having links pinned end-to-end to form a loop extending around a drive sprocket at one end of the chain and an idler sprocket at the other end of the chain. Some machines may include additional idlers to guide the chain from the end of the sprocket to the end of the idler. The chain also typically includes ground engaging track shoes connected to adjacent pairs of links. The engine associated with the machine usually drives the sprocket. The teeth on the sprocket engage the links to ro...
