In this embodiment, the driving disc 1 has a plurality of driving teeth on its outer ring. The side wheels 2 on both sides are symmetrically installed on both sides of the driving disc 1. Each side wheel 2 is spaced apart from the driving disc 1. A fixing assembly 8 is installed between the side wheels 2 and the driving disc 1. The fixing assembly 8 is used to fix the side wheels 2 and the driving disc 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 Main sealing rings 5 ​​are welded and fixed on both sides of the driving disc 1, and auxiliary sealing rings 7 are welded and fixed on both side wheels 2. The auxiliary sealing ring 7 is located on the side of the side wheel 2 close to the driving disc 1. The auxiliary sealing ring 7 corresponds to the main sealing ring 5 on one side of the driving disc 1, so as to effectively eliminate the gap between the driving disc 1 and the side wheel 2, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the driving wheel, reducing the vibration and noise caused by the existence of the gap, and improving the stability of the excavator during operation. At the same time, it effectively prevents impurities such as dust and sand in the external environment from entering the interior of the driving wheel, has good sealing performance, reduces the failure rate caused by the entry of impurities, and improves the durability of the excavator.

Both ends of each spoke 11 are respectively connected to the inner ring of the driving disc 1 and the wheel core 3. The plurality of spokes 11 are sequentially installed along the circumferential direction of the wheel core 3 to enhance the structural strength of the driving disc 1, so that the driving disc 1 can maintain stability and reliability when subjected to heavy loads and complex working environments, and can effectively disperse impact force, optimize weight distribution, reduce direct impact on the driving disc 1 and the wheel core 3, and extend service life.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A sleeve 9 is fixedly installed in the wheel core 3. In this embodiment, the sleeve 9 is used to install the wheel axle. The two ends of the sleeve 9 extend toward the side wheels 2 on both sides. The inner wall of each sleeve 9 is provided with a plurality of key grooves 91. The plurality of key grooves 91 are sequentially opened along the circumferential direction of the sleeve 9. The sleeve 9 serves as the installation basis of the wheel axle and provides a stable structural support for the entire driving wheel to ensure the stability and reliability of the driving wheel during operation. At the same time, the key groove 91 improves the connection strength and increases the contact area between the sleeve 9 and the connecting parts (such as bearings or shafts), which helps to ensure that the connection parts can maintain sufficient stability and reliability when subjected to high loads or high-speed operation to prevent loosening or slipping.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Each side wheel 2 includes a wheel hub 21, a rim 22 and a tire 23. The rim 22 is connected to the outer ring of the wheel hub 21, and the tire 23 is sleeved on the outer ring of the rim 22. A side portion 10 is integrally formed on the outer ring of the rim 22. The side portion 10 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the rim 22. The side portion 10 can limit the displacement of the tire 23 and enhance the stability of the tire 23, which helps to improve the safety of the excavator's driving and operation and reduce safety accidents caused by the displacement or falling off of the tire 23.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A plurality of friction strips 12 are integrally formed on the surface of the tire 23, and the plurality of friction strips 12 are staggeredly installed on the surface of the tire 23 in sequence to increase the contact area and roughness between the tire 23 and the ground, extend the service life of the tire 23, and help improve the grip of the tire 23, especially on wet or soft ground, effectively preventing the tire 23 from slipping or idling.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The fixing assembly 8 includes a plurality of fixing bolts 81. A plurality of main wheel bosses 4 are integrally formed on the inner ring of the driving disc 1. The plurality of main wheel bosses 4 are sequentially installed along the circumferential direction of the driving disc 1. In this embodiment, the main wheel boss 4 is located between two adjacent spokes 11. A plurality of side bosses 6 are integrally formed on the inner ring of each side wheel 2. The plurality of side bosses 6 are sequentially installed along the circumferential direction of the corresponding side wheel 2. In this embodiment, the number of side bosses 6 of the side wheel 2 is consistent with the number of main wheel bosses 4 on the driving disc 1. At the same time, the number of fixing bolts 81 is consistent with the number of main wheel bosses 4. Each fixing bolt 81 is distributed corresponding to the main wheel boss 4 and the two side bosses 6. Through holes for the fixing bolts 81 to pass through are opened on the main wheel boss 4 and the side bosses 6.

[0039] The implementation principle of a hydraulic excavator driving wheel structure of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the driving teeth on the driving disc 1 are broken, the entire driving wheel is disassembled and removed, and the fixing bolts 81 in the fixing assembly 8 are removed using appropriate tools. When all the fixing bolts 81 are removed, the side wheel 2 is gently moved away from the driving disc 1. After the side wheel 2 is removed, the damaged driving disc 1 is removed, and a new driving disc 1 is placed in the position of the original driving disc 1. The removed side wheel 2 is reinstalled, and the side wheel 2 is fixed to the driving disc 1 using the fixing bolts 81. After the driving disc 1 is replaced, it can be reinstalled into the excavator and put into use again; through the arrangement of the driving disc 1, the side wheels 2 on both sides and the fixing assembly 8, the maintenance process is simpler, and the modular design makes it easy to replace parts, improves maintenance efficiency, and is easy to operate. It only needs to remove the fixing bolts 81 to remove the damaged driving disc 1, and then install the new driving disc 1 and re-fix it, which reduces the downtime of the excavator and is cost-effective. There is no need to replace the entire driving wheel, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost and can restore the normal use of the excavator at a lower cost.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
