Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of railway construction, and in particular relates to a driven sprocket assembly and an excavator chain-stripping machine. Background Art

[0002] The excavator chain remover primarily consists of an excavating mechanism, a ballast discharge mechanism, a slewing mechanism, an outer cover, and a quick-change connector. The excavating mechanism excavates the ballast beneath the sleeper. The excavated ballast is then cut into the sleeper from one side of the track using the slewing mechanism. The ballast discharge mechanism then backfills the excavated ballast into a pre-dug trench on the slope. The excavating mechanism consists of a driving sprocket, a driven sprocket, an excavating chain, and a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor drives the driving sprocket, which in turn rotates the excavating chain, removing the ballast beneath the sleeper.

[0003] The driven sprocket assembly of existing excavator chains welds the bearing cap and driven sprocket together, making the driven sprocket assembly a non-detachable unit. If the bearing inside the driven sprocket assembly is damaged, the bearing cannot be replaced, requiring the entire driven sprocket assembly to be replaced, resulting in high maintenance costs. Furthermore, the bearing of the existing driven sprocket assembly may experience axial movement during use, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] This embodiment provides a driven sprocket assembly, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, it includes a mounting seat 1, a bearing cover 5, a driven sprocket 8, a bearing 9, a driven sprocket shaft 11 and a driven shaft sleeve 13.

[0026] The driven sprocket shaft 11 is arranged in the mounting seat 1. Figure 1 As shown, the top of the driven sprocket shaft 11 is non-circular, which effectively prevents the driven sprocket shaft 11 from rotating relative to the mounting seat 1.

[0027] Furthermore, a hollow cavity is formed on the top of the driven sprocket shaft 11 , an oil cup 2 is provided in the hollow cavity, and the opening of the hollow cavity is sealed by a screw plug 3 . The oil cup 2 is used to inject oil into the driven sprocket shaft 11 .

[0028] The driven shaft sleeve 13 is disposed on the circumference of the driven sprocket shaft 11 , with one end of the driven shaft sleeve 13 contacting the mounting seat 1 , and the other end of the driven shaft sleeve 13 contacting the driven sprocket shaft 11 .

[0029] Furthermore, a round nut 10 is provided in the mounting seat 1, and the round nut 10 is located on both sides of the bottom of the driven sprocket shaft 11, for adjusting the gap between the mounting seat 1 and the driven shaft sleeve 13, thereby increasing the friction between the mounting seat 1 and the driven shaft sleeve 13.

[0030] Furthermore, a stop washer 12 is provided at the bottom of the driven sprocket shaft 11 , and the stop washer 12 is located on a side of the round nut 10 close to the driven shaft sleeve 13 to prevent the round nut 10 from loosening.

[0031] The bearings 9 are relatively arranged at both ends of the outer circumference of the driven sleeve 13. In this embodiment, the bearings 9 are tapered roller bearings.

[0032] The bearing cap 5 is provided at one end of the driven shaft sleeve 13 that contacts the driven sprocket shaft 11 and is fixed to the mounting base 1 by a fixing member. Both the bearing cap 5 and the driven shaft sleeve 13 are provided with fixing holes for cooperating with the fixing member to fix the bearing cap 5 or the driven shaft sleeve 13 during the removal or installation of the driven sprocket assembly.

[0033] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the bearing cover 5 is threadedly connected to the driven shaft sleeve 13 through the screw hole 4 to contact one end of the driven sprocket shaft 11, and is fixed to the mounting base 1 by the screw 6. The bearing cover 5 is provided with a screw fixing groove 5.2 that cooperates with the screw 6, and the screw fixing groove 5.2 does not pass through the bearing cover 5 to prevent the screw 6 from falling off.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the screw fixing groove 5.2 on the bearing cap 5 is a right-hand thread. Since the chain of the excavator chain puller generally rotates counterclockwise, if the inner ring of the bearing 9 rotates driven by the outer ring of the bearing 9, thereby driving the driven sleeve 13 to rotate, the bearing cap 5 will also move downward, that is, the bearing cap 5 will be tightened relative to the driven sleeve 13.

[0035] In this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bearing cover fixing hole 5.1 and the driven shaft sleeve fixing hole 13.1 are used to fix the bearing cover 5 and the driven shaft sleeve 13 during the installation or disassembly process of the driven sprocket assembly through the cylinder that cooperates with the bearing cover fixing hole 5.1 and the driven shaft sleeve fixing hole 13.1 to prevent them from rotating and facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, a retaining ring 7 is provided at the position of the screw 6 for fixing on the mounting base 1 to prevent the screw 6 from moving upward.

[0037] The driven sprocket 8 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the bearing 9. When the driven sprocket 8 rotates, the mounting seat 1, the bearing cover 5, the driven sprocket shaft 11 and the driven shaft sleeve 13 remain relatively stationary.

[0038] Furthermore, a sealing cover 14 for sealing the bearing 9 is provided between the driven sprocket 8 and the driven shaft sleeve 13 , and the sealing cover 14 is located at an end away from the bearing cover 5 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting base 1 and the bearing cap 5 are connected by screws 6, and the bearing cap 5 is stationary relative to the mounting base 1. The driven sprocket shaft 11 is in direct contact with the driven sleeve 13, and friction exists between them, ensuring that the driven sprocket shaft 11 is stationary relative to the driven sleeve 13. By designing the top of the driven sprocket shaft 11 as non-circular, the driven sprocket shaft 11 is prevented from rotating relative to the mounting base 1. Therefore, the mounting base 1, the bearing cap 5, the driven sprocket shaft 11, and the driven sleeve 13 are relatively stationary, ensuring that the bearing 9 does not move axially.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] This embodiment provides an excavator chain picker based on the first embodiment.

[0042] It comprises an excavating mechanism, on which the driven sprocket assembly described in Example 1 is assembled.
