Problems solved by technology

In addition, the blade (which is less strong than the cross-shaped tip and therefore wears out faster) is placed on the wheel at the point of greatest wear
Therefore, the blades need to be replaced more often than the cross-shaped tip, and at different times, resulting in downtime of the associated machine

Embodiment Construction

[0014] figure 1 An exemplary compactor wheel 10 is shown, which may be used with any type of compactor, such as a self-propelled or traction machine—not shown. The compactor wheel 10 may include, among other things, a cylindrical wheel rim 12 having an axis of rotation 14 , and a mounting flange 15 oriented substantially perpendicular to the axis 14 . Mounting flange 15 of rim 12 may be configured to engage the end of an axle (not shown) of an associated compactor to transmit torque from the machine's engine to rim 12 via the axle. The outer surface 16 of the wheel 10 may serve as a ground engaging surface configured to contact material to be compacted. In some embodiments, the rim 12 may be hollow and configured to be filled with ballast (eg, water) that increases its weight and compaction capabilities.

[0015] Multiple tips with different designs may be arranged on the surface 16 . In the disclosed embodiment, two different tip designs including a plurality of "paddle sh...

Abstract

A wheel (10) is disclosed for use with a compactor machine. The wheel may have a rim (12) with a first edge zone (22), a second edge zone (26), and a center zone (24) located between the first and second edge zones. The wheel may also have a first plurality of plus tips (20) protruding radially outward from the rim at the first edge zone, and a second plurality of paddle tips (18) protruding radially outward from the center zone.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a compactor wheel, and more particularly to a compactor wheel having a multi-zone tip configuration. Background technique [0002] Compactors, such as landfill compactors and soil compactors, typically include a steel wheel fitted with a tip that extends radially outward from the wheel to engage and compact the shaft on which the compactor is driven. Material. Some tips provide longitudinal traction that helps propel the compactor, while others provide lateral traction that helps stop the compactor from sliding sideways. Yet other tips may increase compaction depth or be used to cut and grate material over which the compactor travels. Many different types of tips are available and suitable for specific purposes. [0003] US Patent No. 4,074,942 issued to Cochran on February 21, 1978 (the "'942 patent") discloses an exemplary compactor wheel having a combination cross-shaped tip and cutting blade (also known...
