[0009] Preferably, a reinforcing rib is fixed to one side of the mounting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate is integrally mounted with a guide rail body.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of weight-reducing grooves are provided inside the guide rail body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, a crawler harvester guide rail adopting the above technical solution has the following features:

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. During the operation of the crawler body, the mounting surfaces of the front and rear guide rails are raised, but the working height remains unchanged. Since the front and rear guide rails are integrally formed by casting technology, they are low in cost, light in weight, high in structural strength, and long in service life. With the high-ground clearance chassis, the height from the chassis to the crawler body and the ground is higher. Therefore, when the crawler body passes through muddy fields, it encounters less resistance and has higher passability. The load on the front and rear guide rails is smaller, which increases the service life of the harvester.

[0015] 2. The mounting holes for installing the front guide rail and the rear guide rail are staggered up and down on the guide rail connecting plate, which increases the force-bearing area of ​​the mounting surface, makes the force distribution of the mounting surface uniform, and improves the stability and reliability of the front guide rail and the rear guide rail;

[0016] 3. The reinforcing ribs can ensure the strength of the mounting plate. In addition, thanks to the one-piece molding using a casting process, the front and rear guide rails can be designed with weight-reducing grooves with more complex structures. While ensuring the strength of the front and rear guide rails, the weight of the guide rails is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the load on the chassis. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] During use, when the crawler body 4 is working, the mounting surfaces of the front guide rail 6 and the rear guide rail 8 are raised, but the working height remains unchanged. Since the front guide rail 6 and the rear guide rail 8 are integrally formed by a casting process, they have low cost, light weight, high structural strength and long service life. Combined with the high ground clearance chassis 1, the height from the chassis 1 to the crawler body 4 and the ground is higher. Therefore, when the crawler body 4 passes through a muddy field, it encounters less resistance and has higher passability. The load on the front guide rail 6 and the rear guide rail 8 is smaller, thereby increasing the service life of the harvester.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a plurality of connecting seats 11 are fixed to the bottom surface of the walking beam 7, and the plurality of connecting seats 11 are evenly distributed below the walking beam 7. A shaft sleeve 12 is rotatably inserted inside the connecting seat 11, and the surface of the shaft sleeve 12 is rotatably inserted with the supporting wheel 5. A guide rail connecting plate 10 is fixed to the bottom surface of the walking beam 7, and two mounting plates 13 are fixed to the top surfaces of the front guide rail 6 and the rear guide rail 8. Two connecting holes 17 are provided on one side of the mounting plate 13, and a plurality of mounting holes 18 are provided on one side of the guide rail connecting plate 10. A mounting bolt 19 is rotatably inserted inside the connecting hole 17, and one end of the mounting bolt 19 passes through the connecting hole 17 and the mounting hole 18 and is threadedly connected with a nut.

[0026] During use, the mounting holes 18 for mounting the front guide rail 6 and the rear guide rail 8 are staggered up and down on the guide rail connecting plate 10, which increases the force-bearing area of ​​the mounting surface, makes the force distribution of the mounting surface uniform, and improves the stability and reliability of the front guide rail 6 and the rear guide rail 8.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing rib 15 is fixed to one side of the mounting plate 13 , and a guide rail body 14 is integrally mounted on the mounting plate 13 , and a plurality of weight-reducing grooves 16 are provided inside the guide rail body 14 .

[0028] During use, the reinforcing ribs 15 can ensure the strength of the mounting plate 13. In addition, by using a casting process for integral molding, the front guide rail 6 and the rear guide rail 8 can be designed with a weight-reducing groove 16 with a more complex structure. While ensuring the strength of the front guide rail 6 and the rear guide rail 8, the weight of the guide rail is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the load on the chassis 1.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
