[0044] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 16As shown, the steel crawler chassis of the present invention includes: a chassis bracket 10, longitudinal beams 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the chassis bracket 10, and crawlers 20 are wound around the two longitudinal beams 11, and also includes: a plurality of track teeth 24, a plurality of slide rails 23 and a plurality of limit assemblies, a plurality of slide rails 23 are fixedly arranged at intervals along the outer peripheral surface of the crawler 20, a plurality of track teeth 24 are slidably fitted on the plurality of slide rails 23, and the two correspond one to one, a plurality of limit assemblies are arranged at intervals on the crawler 20, a pushing assembly is provided on the two longitudinal beams 11, and the pushing assembly and the limiting assembly are driven to cooperate to mechanically lock or release the sliding cooperation between the slide rails 23 and the track teeth 24, an adjustment assembly is arranged inside the chassis bracket 10, and the adjustment assembly is connected to the opposite side walls of the two longitudinal beams 11, and can adjust the distance between the two longitudinal beams 11.

[0046] When the track 20 is adjusted to its limit position, the track 20 and the track teeth 24 are adjusted to the limit position, so that the track 20 can move freely.

[0047] To further explain in detail how to adjust the distance between the crawler 20 and the ground to avoid friction between the crawler 20 and the ground, and to reduce the wear of the crawler 20, the following will explain in detail.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the crawler 20 is composed of multiple track shoes 21, and the multiple track shoes 21 are hinged in sequence. A chain link 22 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of each track shoe 21 close to the longitudinal beam 11. The chain link 22 is used to hinge the multiple track shoes 21 to each other in sequence, so that the crawler 20 as a whole is a round-end rectangle. The crawler 20 is sleeved on the longitudinal beam 11 and rotated. At least two slide rails 23 are arranged at intervals on the outer wall of a track shoe 21 away from the longitudinal beam 11, and the slide rails 23 are arranged along the length direction of the track shoe 21. In this embodiment, two slide rails are provided on one track shoe 21 23, and the slide rails 23 are provided with slide grooves along the length direction, and the slide groove openings face downward, the slide grooves on the slide rails 23 are slidably matched with track teeth 24, and the bottom surfaces of the track teeth 24 contact the ground to provide grip for the track 20 during walking, and first fixed blocks 41 are provided on the opposite side walls of the two slide rails 23, and second fixed blocks 42 are provided on the tops of the track teeth 24, and the bottom of the first fixed block 41 and the top of the second fixed block 42 are stopped, and limiting grooves are provided on the bottom of the first fixed block 41 and the side walls of the second fixed block 42, and the limiting grooves are dovetail-shaped.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 7 、 Figure 13 As shown, the pushing assembly includes: a plurality of telescopic rods 50 and a pushing plate 51, the plurality of telescopic rods 50 are evenly spaced at the bottom of the longitudinal beam 11, and the plurality of telescopic rods 50 are spaced at intervals along the length direction of the longitudinal beam 11, the pushing plate 51 is arranged at the output end of the telescopic rod 50, so that the telescopic rod 50 can push the pushing plate 51 to move up and down, and two first push rods 27 are spaced at intervals on the track shoe 21 along the length direction, and the first push rods 27 pass through the track shoe 21 and the two are perpendicular to each other, the first push rod 27 is composed of a first cylinder and a second cylinder fixedly connected, and the first cylinder close to the pushing plate 51 is larger than the diameter of the second cylinder, the second cylinder passes through the track shoe 21, and the first cylinder close to the track shoe 21 is provided with a second elastic member 28, and one end of the second elastic member 28 is connected to the track shoe 21 and is sleeved on the outer circumference of the second cylinder, so that the second elastic member 28 elastically supports the first push rod 27, and the outer circumference of the cylinder with a smaller diameter is symmetrically provided with a guide block 29.

[0050] like Figures 5 to 12As shown, the limit assembly includes: multiple limit boxes 30, torsion springs 33, limit bars 36 and limit blocks 40. Multiple limit boxes 30 are arranged on the outer wall of the track shoe 21 away from the longitudinal beam 11, and the limit boxes 30 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the track shoe 21 and are located between the two track teeth 24 to facilitate the mechanical locking or release of the sliding cooperation between the slide rail 23 and the track teeth 24. A rotating cylinder 31 is rotatably provided inside each limit box 30, and the rotating cylinder 31 is located at the inner center position of the limit box 30. The inner annular surface of the rotating cylinder 31 is symmetrically provided with a spiral guide groove 32, and the guide block 29 is embedded in the spiral guide groove. 32 is used to convert axial displacement into rotational motion. A gear ring is fixedly provided on the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder 31, and the gear ring is close to the inner bottom wall of the limit box 30. A circular ring 34 is fixedly provided on the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder 31, and the circular ring 34 is located above the gear ring. A torsion spring 33 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder 31, and the top of the torsion spring 33 is connected to the limit box 30, and the bottom of the torsion spring 33 is connected to the top of the circular ring 34, so that the torsion spring 33 applies a reverse torque to the rotating cylinder 31, stores elastic potential energy when the rotating cylinder 31 is rotated by external force, and drives the rotating cylinder 31 to automatically reset after the external force disappears, so as to keep the initial position stable.

[0051] The two limit bars 36 are symmetrically arranged inside the limit box 30, and one end of the two limit bars 36 extends out of the two opposite side walls of the limit box 30, and the side walls are parallel to the track teeth 24. Racks are provided on the opposite side walls of the two limit bars 36, and the racks on the two limit bars 36 are engaged with the gear rings so that the rotation of the rotating drum 31 can drive the two limit bars 36 to move in the opposite direction. The extended end surfaces of the two limit bars 36 are respectively provided with limit blocks 40, and the limit blocks 40 are dovetail-shaped. The limit block 40 cooperates with the limit groove so that the limit block 40 limits the slide rail 23 and the track tooth 24. The dovetail structure trapezoidal cross-section designed for the limit block 40 in this application forms a self-locking effect, and the design of the gradually expanding cross-section in the vertical direction can effectively resist the vibration impact of the track 20 during walking. When the slide rail 23 and the track tooth 24 are subjected to dynamic loads, the wedging effect of the dovetail inclined surface will generate a normal constraint force to prevent the components from axial movement, and the anti-escape ability is improved compared to the rectangular limit block 40.

[0052] When the distance between the two longitudinal beams 11 needs to be adjusted, the sliding cooperation limit of the slide rail 23 and the track teeth 24 needs to be released first, so that the multiple telescopic rods 50 push the extension plate 51 to move downward, and the extension plate 51 moves downward to push the first push rod 27 on the track shoe 21 in contact with the ground, so that the first push rod 27 moves downward. Since the guide block 29 on the first push rod 27 is embedded in the spiral guide groove 32, the first push rod 27 moves downward so that the guide block 29 cooperates with the spiral guide groove 32 to rotate the rotating cylinder 31, thereby converting the axial displacement into rotational motion, and rotating at the same time. The rotation of the drum 31 causes the two limit bars 36 meshing with the gear ring to move toward each other. The movement of the limit bars 36 drives the corresponding limit blocks 40 to move toward the limit box 30, so that the limit blocks 40 and the limit grooves are released to allow the sliding of the slide rails 23 and the track teeth 24 to cooperate with the limit. When the spacing between the two longitudinal beams 11 is adjusted, the slide rails 23 can move along the length direction of the track teeth 24, thereby avoiding the traditional adjustment that causes the track 20 to directly rub against the ground, shortening the service life of the track 20, and avoiding the derailment of the track 20 and the longitudinal beam 11 during adjustment, thereby improving the safety during adjustment.

[0053] When the adjustment is completed and the sliding cooperation between the slide rail 23 and the track teeth 24 needs to be limited, the pushing assembly is lifted upward, and the second elastic member 28 will push the first push rod 27 to move upward. The upward movement of the first push rod 27 drives the rotating cylinder 31 to move upward. At the same time, the torsion spring 33 will drive the rotating cylinder 31 to rotate and reset to ensure that the limiting assembly has sufficient driving force when resetting. The rotation of the rotating cylinder 31 will drive the two limiting bars 36 to move backwards, so that the limiting bar 36 drives the limiting block 40 to be inserted into the inside of the limiting groove to complete the limiting.

[0054] It should be noted that in order to ensure the stability of the movement of the limit bar 36, the interior of the limit box 30 is symmetrically provided with U-shaped guide grooves 35 along the width direction, and the U-shaped openings of the two U-shaped guide grooves 35 are symmetrically opened, and the outer wall of the limit bar 36 on the side away from the rotating cylinder 31 is provided with a guide plate 37, and the guide plate 37 slides and fits inside the U-shaped guide groove 35, so that the limit bar 36 can move stably when limiting or releasing the limit, thereby ensuring the entire limiting effect. At the same time, the limit bar 36 is provided with a first elastic member 39 at one end close to the rotating cylinder 31, and a fixed bar is provided inside the U-shaped guide groove 35, and the other end of the first elastic member 39 is connected to the fixed bar. The limit assembly has sufficient driving force when resetting to provide sufficient support for the limit block 40.

[0055] After the sliding cooperation limit of the slide rail 23 and the track teeth 24 is released, the adjustment assembly pushes the two longitudinal beams 11 to move in the opposite direction. The movement of the longitudinal beam 11 drives the crawler 20 and the slide rail 23 to slide on the track teeth 24. It should be noted that the sliding distance of the slide rail 23 on the track teeth 24 does not exceed half of the track teeth 24, so that the track teeth 24 can provide sufficient support for the crawler 20 to ensure the stability of the spacing adjustment of the entire longitudinal beam 11. When the crawler 20 and the slide rail 23 move to the extreme position of the track teeth 24, the track teeth 24 need to be separated from the ground for reset, so a support assembly is provided on the crawler 20.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the support assembly includes: a support rod 25 and a third elastic member 26. The support rods 25 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the track shoe 21, and multiple support rods 25 all pass through the track shoe 21 and are perpendicular to each other. The support rod 25 is composed of a third cylinder and a fourth cylinder fixedly connected, and the third cylinder close to the top extension plate 51 is larger than the diameter of the fourth cylinder. A hole 19 is opened on the track shoe 21, and the fourth cylinder passes through the hole 19. A third elastic member 26 is provided at one end of the third cylinder close to the track shoe 21, and one end of the third elastic member 26 is connected to the track shoe 21 and is sleeved on the outer circumference of the fourth cylinder, so that the third elastic member 26 elastically supports the support rod 25.

[0057] like Figures 11 to 12 As shown, the two end surfaces of the slide rail 23 are provided with stoppers 62, and a first cavity is formed between the track teeth 24 and the slide rail 23. Figure 11 As shown, a support block 60 is provided on the top of the track tooth 24, and the support block 60 is located in the cavity formed between the track tooth 24 and the slide rail 23, and divides the cavity into two second cavities of the same length. A tension spring 61 is provided inside the second cavity, and the two ends of the tension spring 61 are respectively connected to the opposite side walls of the support block 60 and the stop block 62, so that the track tooth 24 can be reset by the tension spring 61 after sliding with the slide rail 23.

[0058] When the track teeth 24 need to be disengaged from the ground and reset, the pushing assembly pushes the support rod 25 downward to contract the third elastic member 26 and make the support rod 25 on the track shoe 21 close to the ground stop against the ground. As the pushing assembly continues to squeeze the support rod 25 downward, the support rod 25 supports the longitudinal beam 11, thereby separating the track teeth 24 from the ground. After the track teeth 24 are separated from the ground, the two tension springs 61 will pull the track teeth 24 to reset, thereby avoiding friction damage between the track teeth 24 and the ground. The spacing adjustment method in the present application avoids the risk of the track 20 falling off, thereby ensuring safety during adjustment.

[0059] It should be noted that the end surface of the top extension plate 51 is concave, and the output end of the top extension plate 51 is connected to the concave inner bottom wall of the top extension plate 51. Figure 13 As shown, the telescopic rod 50 pushes the extending plate 51 so that the bottom surface can contact the top surface of the support rod 25 and the top surface of the first push rod 27 at the same time, so that the extending plate 51 moves downward to a first position and a second position. When the extending plate 51 moves downward to the first position, the limit assembly releases the limit, and the support rod 25 is still a distance from the ground at this time. When the extending plate 51 moves downward to the second position, the support rod 25 contacts the ground and supports the crawler 20.

[0060] The adjustment assembly includes: two cylinders 80 are arranged inside the chassis bracket 10, and the output ends of the cylinders 80 are respectively connected to the two opposite side walls of the longitudinal beam 11, so that the cylinders 80 can push the two longitudinal beams 11 closer to or away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the longitudinal beams 11 to optimize the contact method between the machine and the ground, and achieve safe, efficient and energy-saving operation.

[0061] In order to ensure that the crawler 20 has sufficient grip when climbing, to ensure the stability of the crawler 20 and to adapt to multiple working scenarios, the present application also provides a second embodiment.

[0062] like Figures 14 to 16 As shown, a driving member 15 and a guide wheel 13 are respectively installed at both ends of the longitudinal beam 11. The outer peripheral surface of the driving member 15 is provided with a driving wheel 12. The interior of the driving member 15 is provided with an electric motor or a hydraulic motor to drive the crawler 20 to rotate, thereby pushing the crawler chassis forward or backward. The guide wheel 13 is used to guide the crawler 20 to move in the correct direction to prevent the crawler 20 from derailing. A tensioning mechanism is provided inside the longitudinal beam 11 to adjust the tension of the crawler 20 to ensure that the crawler 20 maintains appropriate tightness during operation to prevent the crawler 20 from loosening or falling off. Support rollers 14 are provided at intervals along the length direction at the bottom of the longitudinal beam 11. The support rollers 14 are used to support the weight of the crawler chassis and reduce the friction resistance when the crawler 20 contacts the ground.

[0063] The outer circumference of the driving member 15 is provided with rotating rings 70 at intervals in the axial direction, and the rotating rings 70 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the driving wheel 12. A driving structure is provided inside the driving member 15 to drive the rotating ring 70 to rotate. It should be noted that the driving structure is a prior art and therefore will not be described in detail. The outer circumference of the rotating ring 70 is fixedly provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 71, and the arc-shaped protrusion 71 can be squeezed and fitted with the support rod 25. The arc-shaped protrusion 71 has a first position and a second position. When the arc-shaped protrusion 71 is in the first position, the protruding part of the arc-shaped protrusion 71 faces the direction of the guide wheel 13. When the arc-shaped protrusion 71 is in the second position, the protruding part of the arc-shaped protrusion 71 faces away from the direction of the guide wheel 13. When climbing a slope is required, the driving structure can drive the rotating ring 70 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating ring 70 drives the arc-shaped protrusion 71 to rotate, so that the arc-shaped protrusion 71 rotates from the first position to the second position. Figure 16As shown, when the crawler 20 is rotating and walking, when the support rod 25 on each track shoe 21 rotates to the position of the arc-shaped protrusion 71, the support rod 25 can be extended and retracted along the arc of the arc-shaped protrusion 71, thereby increasing the grip of the crawler 20 when climbing, thereby ensuring the stability of the crawler chassis and the stability of multi-scene operation.
