In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] The travel wheel assembly disclosed by the utility model is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 As shown, it includes a connecting seat 100, which includes a pivoting portion 110, a connecting hole 111 is arranged at the pivoting portion 110, two fork arms 120 for maintaining a gap are arranged on one side of the pivoting portion 110, and the connecting seat 100 is approximately U-shaped as a whole.

[0029] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the fork arm 120 includes a first side surface 121 and a second side surface 122 located at both ends of the connecting hole 111, and a card interface 123 is provided at the opposite surfaces of the two fork arms 120, and the card interface 123 extends a certain distance from the first side surface 121 of the fork arm 120 to the other side surface, and the card interface 123 includes a first U-shaped groove portion 124 and a second U-shaped groove portion 125, and the first U-shaped groove portions 124 of the two card interfaces 123 are opposite, and the groove width and groove depth of the first U-shaped groove portion 124 are smaller than the groove width (the distance between the two opposite groove walls of the first and second U-shaped groove portions) and groove depth (the groove depth is the distance that the first and second U-shaped groove portions 125 extend from the first side surface 121 to the second side surface 122) of the second U-shaped groove portion 125. The support shaft 300 supports the shaft 300. Of course, the card interface 123 can also be other feasible shapes, which will not be repeated here.

[0030] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 3As shown, a support shaft 300 whose axis is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting hole 111 is connected between the two fork arms 120 , and two ends of the support shaft 300 are clamped at the two clamping interfaces 123 , and a walking wheel 500 is sleeved on the support shaft 300 .

[0031] As attached Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the assembly of the walking wheel 500, the support shaft 300 includes a core shaft 310 and a clamping sleeve 320 mounted on both ends of the core shaft 310. The core shaft 310 can be a solid shaft. Preferably, in order to reduce the weight of the component, the core shaft 310 includes a hollow tube body 311, and a reinforcing plate 312 is arranged in the center hole of the hollow tube body 311. The two clamping sleeves 320 include a concentrically arranged tube portion 321 and an end plate 322. The inner diameter of the tube portion 321 matches the outer diameter of the core shaft 310, and the outer diameter of the tube portion 321 matches the notch width of the first U-shaped groove portion 124. The diameter of the end plate 322 is larger than the diameter of the tube portion 321 and matches the notch width of the second U-shaped groove portion 125. Such a structure can cooperate with the structure of the clamping groove, thereby better limiting the axial position of the support shaft 300 on the connecting seat 100. When the two clamping sleeves 320 are assembled on the core shaft 310 , the distance between them matches the width of the inner ring of the bearing 510 of the running wheel 500 .

[0032] During assembly, the travel wheel 500 can be sleeved on the mandrel 310 first, and then the two clamping sleeves 320 can be sleeved on both ends of the mandrel 310, and the clamping sleeves 320 and the mandrel 310 can be connected by interference fit. Of course, this is not necessary.

[0033] In order to facilitate processing, the connection seat 100, the core shaft 310 and / or the clamping sleeve 320 are processed by injection molding. The specific process of injection molding is a known technology and is not described here. At the same time, the outer side of the connection seat 100 is formed with a reinforcing rib 130 to increase the strength of the entire connection seat 100. The specific form of the reinforcing rib can be designed as needed and is not limited here.

[0034] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the support shaft 300 can be engaged at the card interface 123 in an interference fit manner. Furthermore, in order to reduce the risk of the support shaft 300 withdrawing from the card interface 123, a through hole 126 is formed on the fork arm 120, which is concentric with the support shaft 300 and connected to the card interface 123. Both ends of the support shaft 300 have 330 that can be embedded in the through hole 126. When the two ends of the support shaft 300 are engaged in the two card interfaces 123, the 330 extends into the through hole 126.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] This embodiment discloses a mobile vehicle, including a frame, to which the travel wheel assembly as described above is pivotally connected.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] This embodiment discloses a cross-belt sorting machine, comprising the mobile cart as described above.

[0039] There are many implementation methods of the utility model, and all technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
