Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of engineering machinery, and in particular to a crawler chassis and a crawler vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The scissor lift mobile lifting work platform, commonly known as a scissor lift truck, is a special equipment for high-altitude operations with vertical lifting and a wide range of indoor and outdoor uses. It can be widely used in indoor and outdoor machinery installation, equipment maintenance and building maintenance in stations, docks, bridges, halls, and factories.

[0003] Crawler scissor lifts are a subcategory of scissor lifts. Equipped with rubber tracks, they offer excellent road passability and off-road capabilities, allowing them to easily cross small trenches, steps, and obstacles on construction sites. Their large contact patch and low ground contact pressure prevent them from sinking into soft ground and damaging the surface. They can rotate on the spot and offer flexible steering, making them suitable for maneuvering in confined terrain. Therefore, crawler scissor lifts are commonly used in the construction and maintenance of non-hardened sites such as airports, railway stations, subways, factories, and exhibition halls; in agricultural and gardening settings such as vegetable greenhouse construction and agricultural harvesting; and in the installation and construction of power grid and communication lines on muddy outdoor surfaces such as power substations.

[0004] Derailment is a common fault of crawler chassis, so an anti-derailment device needs to be arranged.

[0054] refer to Figures 1 to 10 Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a crawler chassis, including a frame 2, a walking part and a crawler anti-derailment device 1.

[0055] The traveling part is mounted on the vehicle frame 2 to drive the vehicle frame 2 to travel. The traveling part includes supporting wheels 5 and crawler tracks 6. There is an insertion space H between the supporting wheels 5, the vehicle frame 2 and the crawler tracks 6 for inserting the fork tines of the forklift.

[0056] The crawler anti-derailment device 1 includes at least one crawler limiter, which is movably connected to the frame 2. The crawler limiter has a first working position and a second working position. In the first working position, the crawler limiter limits the crawler 6 from moving in the left and right directions of the crawler chassis. In the second working position, the crawler limiter avoids the insertion space H.

[0057] Figures 1 to 10 , the x direction represents the left and right direction of the crawler chassis, the y direction represents the front and rear direction of the crawler chassis, and the z direction represents the up and down direction of the crawler chassis.

[0058] Based on the crawler chassis provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the crawler limiter can be switched between a first working position and a second working position to achieve displacement. In the first working position of the crawler limiter, the crawler anti-derail device is in a posture that limits the left and right displacement of the crawler track, and the crawler track can reliably walk without derailing under the limiting action of the crawler limiter; in the second working position of the crawler limiter, the crawler anti-derail device is in a posture that avoids the insertion space, and the crawler chassis can be transported by inserting the fork tines of a forklift into the insertion space.

[0059] In some embodiments, the at least one track limiting portion includes a first track limiting portion 13A and a second track limiting portion 13B, and the first track limiting portion 13A and the second track limiting portion 13B are arranged along the front-rear direction of the crawler chassis.

[0060] In order to achieve a better limiting effect, the crawler chassis may include more or fewer crawler anti-derailment devices 1 according to the structure, size and rigidity of the crawler track, and the crawler anti-derailment device 1 may include more or fewer crawler limiting parts.

[0061] In some embodiments, at least one track limiting portion is rotatably connected to the frame 2 along the left-right axis of the crawler chassis.

[0062] refer to Figures 1 to 7In the embodiment, the crawler anti-derail device 1 includes a base 11 detachably mounted on the vehicle frame 2, and the first crawler position limiting portion 13A and the second crawler position limiting portion 13B can be coaxially hinged on the base 11. In some unillustrated embodiments, the first crawler position limiting portion 13A and the second crawler position limiting portion 13B can also be directly hinged on the vehicle frame 2 or hinged on the base 11 respectively through different hinge shafts.

[0063] Of course, at least one track limiter can also be movably arranged relative to the frame 2, for example, movably arranged along the up and down directions of the tracked chassis, or movably and rotatably arranged relative to the frame 2, as long as it can play the role of changing the working position of the track limiter.

[0064] In some embodiments, the crawler anti-derail device 1 includes a driving component, which is drive-connected to the track limiting portion and is configured to: drive the track limiting portion to switch from the first working position to the second working position, and / or drive the track limiting portion to switch from the second working position to the first working position.

[0065] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a telescopic member 12 and / or a first handle. The telescopic member 12 is hinged to the vehicle frame 2 at one end in its telescopic direction and hinged to the track stopper at the other end. The telescopic member 12 is configured to change the operating position of the track stopper by changing its length. The first handle is provided on the track stopper and is configured to drive the track stopper to change its operating position.

[0066] refer to Figures 1 to 7 The telescopic component 12 can be directly hinged to the vehicle frame 2 or hinged to the base 11. The telescopic component 12 can be a tension gas spring, which is in an extended state in the first working position and in a retracted state in the second working position. The tension gas spring can drive the track limiter to automatically switch from the second working position to the first working position, and the process of switching the track limiter from the first working position to the second working position can be completed manually with the help of the first handle, without the need for special tools, and is easy to operate. In some embodiments not shown in the figure, the telescopic component 12 can also be other forms of gas springs such as electric gas springs, free-type gas springs, or hydraulic cylinders.

[0067] In order to prevent the track limiter from moving up and down and deviating from the corresponding working position during the operation of the tracked vehicle or the transportation of the tracked chassis, in some embodiments, the track anti-derailment device 1 includes a locking component, which is configured to fix the track limiter on the frame 2 so that the track limiter remains in the first working position and / or the second working position.

[0068] In some embodiments, the track stopper is provided with a first through-hole and / or a second through-hole, and the frame 2 is provided with a first pin hole and a second pin hole, the first pin hole and the second pin hole being distributed along the vertical direction of the tracked chassis. The locking component includes a latch 15, which passes through the first through-hole and engages with the first pin hole to maintain the track stopper in the first working position, and / or the latch 15 passes through the second through-hole and engages with the second pin hole to maintain the track stopper in the second working position.

[0069] In some embodiments, the latch 15 includes a latch body and a second handle 151 disposed at a first end of the latch body, with at least a portion of the second handle 151 located radially outward from the latch body. The track anti-derailment device further includes a blocking member 14 detachably mounted to the second end of the latch body. When the blocking member 14 is mounted to the second end of the latch body, at least a portion of the blocking member 14 is located radially outward from the latch body.

[0070] When the tracked vehicle is working, the latch 15 needs to bear loads in multiple directions. In the above embodiment, by providing a second handle 151 at the first end of the latch body, the installation or removal of the latch 15 can be facilitated. By installing the latch 15 on the vehicle frame 2 and then installing the blocking member 14 at the second end of the latch body, the latch 15 can be prevented from moving along its own axis. Figure 1 The blocking member 14 may be an O-shaped pin, the pin body of which is inserted into the second end of the latch body along the radial direction of the latch body.

[0071] In some embodiments, the track limiting portion has an insertion end, and a limiting groove 61 is provided on the track 6, the extension direction of which is perpendicular to the left and right direction of the crawler chassis. In the first working position, the insertion end is inserted into the limiting groove 61, and in the second working position, the insertion end is separated from the limiting groove 61.

[0072] refer to Figures 1 to 7 The track limiting part may include a plate located at the insertion end, such as the plate 137A of the first track limiting part 13A and the plate 137B of the second track limiting part 13B, which can not only improve the strength of the track limiting part, but also moderately reduce the gap between the track limiting part and the track, thereby making the limitation more reliable and improving the anti-derailment effect of the track 6.

[0073] In some embodiments, a rounded corner is provided at the junction of the bottom surface and the side surface of the insertion end.

[0074] For the crawler 6 made of rubber material, if the crawler moves in the left and right direction, the above arrangement can prevent the crawler 6 from being cut by the insertion end, thereby extending the service life of the crawler. Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the above-mentioned rounded corners can be set on the edge of the board.

There may be multiple latches 15, one of which passes through the vertical plate 135A of the first track stopper 13A and the pin hole of the first pin hole plate 23A to secure the first track stopper 13A to the vehicle frame 2, and the other passes through the vertical plate 135A of the second track stopper 13A and the pin hole of the first pin hole plate 23A to secure the first track stopper 13A to the vehicle frame 2. When the tracked chassis is in the working state, the track stopper is in the first working position, the latch 15 bears the load transmitted in all directions, and the second handle 151 and the blocking member 14 prevent the latch 15 from axial movement.

[0084] like Figures 1 to 3 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, the guide wheel 3 is located at the front end of the frame 2, the travel motor 8 is connected to the drive wheel 7 and is located at the rear end of the frame 2. The track anti-derailment device 1 is bolted to the middle of the frame 2, and multiple supporting rollers 5 are evenly arranged at the bottom of the frame 2. The track 6 is a closed ring and wrapped around the outside of each wheel. The tensioning device 4 is assembled on the tensioning device mounting base 21 and consists of a tensioning bolt 41 and a tensioning nut 42 that cooperate with each other. The tensioning nut 42 forces the tensioning bolt 41 to press against the second flat surface 321 of the guide wheel shaft 32. The guide wheel 3 moves forward under the action of the tensioning bolt 41, thereby tensioning the track 6.

[0085] An insertion space H for inserting the fork tines of a forklift is formed between the supporting wheels 5, the vehicle frame 2 and the crawler track 6.

[0086] When the track limiter is in the first working position, Figure 1As shown, at this time, one latch 15 is simultaneously inserted into the first through hole 1351A of the first crawler track limiting portion 13A located on the front side of the vehicle frame 2 and the first pin hole 231A of the first pin hole plate 23A, and the other latch 15 is simultaneously inserted into the first through hole 1351B of the second crawler track limiting portion 13B located on the rear side of the vehicle frame 2 and the first pin hole 231B of the second pin hole plate 23B, thereby fixing the crawler track anti-derailment device 1 to the vehicle frame 2. Figure 2 As shown, there is a gap between the plate 137A and the bottom surface 611 and the side surface 612 of the limiting groove of the track 6. The plate 137A is provided with rounded corners to prevent the rubber track from being cut when the track 6 moves sideways.

[0087] When the track limiter is in the second working position, Figure 3 As shown, the blocking members 14 and corresponding latches 15 on the front and rear sides of the vehicle frame 2 are manually removed, and the first and second track stoppers 13A, 13B rotate about the hinge pins 115 driven by the telescopic member 12. The insertion space H is then automatically exposed, allowing for forklift transportation. To prevent the first and second track stoppers 13A, 13B from moving up and down during transportation, the front latch 15 can be simultaneously inserted into the second through-hole 1352A of the first track stopper 13A and the second pin hole 232A of the first pin hole plate 23A, while the rear latch 15 can be simultaneously inserted into the second through-hole 1352B of the second track stopper 13B and the second pin hole 232B of the second pin hole plate 23B. This operation not only ensures transportation safety but also prevents the latch 15 from being lost during transportation. When the crawler chassis is transported to the work site, the front and rear latches 15 are removed, and the first handle 138A of the first crawler limiter 13A and the handle 138B of the second crawler limiter 13B are grasped respectively to pull the first crawler limiter 13A and the second crawler limiter 13B downward until the corresponding through holes and pin holes are aligned, and then the latch 15 is inserted to complete the posture switching of the crawler anti-derailment device.

[0088] The crawler chassis has a reliable structure and is easy to operate. The posture switching of the crawler anti-derailment device can be completed manually without using tools, which not only improves the operational reliability of the crawler vehicle but also reduces the complexity of the shifting operation.

[0089] Some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a tracked vehicle comprising the aforementioned tracked chassis. This tracked vehicle possesses the advantages of the aforementioned tracked chassis. The tracked vehicle may be a tracked lifting work platform, such as a scissor lift, or a tracked firefighting vehicle, such as a tracked smoke exhaust robot or a tracked firefighting robot.

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit them. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present disclosure can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents, which should all be included in the scope of the technical solutions claimed for protection in the present disclosure.
