Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dustproof idler wheels, in particular to an idler wheel with a fully sealed dustproof structure. Background Technology

[0002] The idler gear is a gear that plays a transmission role between two transmission gears that do not touch each other. It meshes with these two gears at the same time. It is mainly used to change the rotation direction of the passive gear to make it the same as the driving gear. The idler gear is also called the bridge gear or intermediate gear. The number of its teeth has no effect on the value of the transmission ratio, but it will affect the direction of the final gear.

[0003] At present, the operating environment of commercial vehicles is indeed quite harsh. Not only do they need to travel on sandy roads, but they also often have to work in sewage and dusty environments. This harsh environment brings huge challenges to various components of commercial vehicles, especially idler wheels.

[0004] As an important component of the transmission system, the normal operation of the idler is crucial to the performance and life of the vehicle. However, in such a harsh environment, the idler is easily corroded by mud, sewage and dust, leading to early abnormal failure. This not only seriously affects the service life of the product, but also reduces its reliability, bringing potential risks to the operational safety of the vehicle.

[0005] Although there are some protective structures for commercial vehicle idlers on the market, their protective effects are not ideal. These protective structures are often unable to withstand the invasion of harsh environments and cannot effectively protect the idlers from damage. Therefore, the existing protective structures can no longer meet the application requirements of commercial vehicles under complex working conditions. Contents of utility model

[0006] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model solves the problem of insufficient sealing of the current vehicle idler wheel.

[0007] The fully sealed dustproof structure idler wheel includes an axle bolt, a cushion seat is sleeved on the outer side of the middle of the axle bolt, the cushion seat is a cylindrical barrel body, a circle of bosses is arranged in the middle, and a rear dust cover is arranged on the bosses.

[0008] Furthermore, the cushion seat is fixed to the shaft bolt by a clip.

[0009] Furthermore, a rear dust cover is sleeved on the outer side of the cushion seat, a bearing is sleeved on the outer side of the top of the cushion seat, and a pulley is sleeved on the outer side of the bearing.

[0010] Furthermore, an annular groove is formed at one end of the pulley close to the rear dust cover.

[0011] Furthermore, a VD-type rubber sealing ring is also installed on the rear dust cover. The VD-type rubber sealing ring contacts the end face of the pulley and forms a contact full seal. The rear dust cover and the annular groove of the pulley form a clearance labyrinth dust prevention structure.

[0012] Furthermore, a pressing plate is also provided at the bottom of the bearing. An inner dust cover is provided on the left side of the pressing plate, and a front dust cover is also provided on the top of the inner dust cover.

[0013] Furthermore, a retaining ring is provided inside the pulley.

[0014] Advantages of the present utility model: This application realizes the full-sealed dust prevention of the idler pulley product, has a large space and strong versatility, can meet the installation needs of accessories with different size specifications, and the multiple dust covers provide stronger protection ability, can well protect the bearing, and effectively improve the sealing performance of the idler pulley.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figures 1 - 2 figures, the fully sealed dust-proof structure idler pulley includes a shaft bolt 5. A washer seat 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the shaft bolt 5. The washer seat 4 is a cylindrical barrel body, with a ring of bosses arranged in the middle, and a rear dust cover 3 is arranged on the bosses.

[0022] Furthermore, the washer seat 4 is fixed to the shaft bolt 5 through a clip 6.

[0023] Furthermore, a rear dust cover 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the washer seat 4, a bearing 10 is also sleeved on the outer side of the top of the washer seat 4, and a pulley 7 is sleeved on the outer side of the bearing 10.

[0024] Furthermore, an annular groove is opened at one end of the pulley 7 close to the rear dust cover 3.

[0025] Furthermore, a VD-type rubber sealing ring 9 is also installed on the rear dust cover 3, and the VD-type rubber sealing ring 9 is in contact with the end face of the pulley 7 to form a contact-type full seal, and the rear dust cover 3 and the annular groove of the pulley 7 form a clearance-type labyrinth dust-proof structure.

[0026] Furthermore, a pressing plate 2 is also arranged at the bottom of the bearing 10, an inner dust cover 1 is arranged on the left side of the pressing plate 2, and a front dust cover 11 is arranged on the top of the inner dust cover 1.

[0027] Further, a retaining ring 8 is provided inside the pulley 7.

[0028] The specific working mode of this application is as follows:

[0029] After the idle pulley is installed, a clearance-type labyrinth dust-proof structure is formed between the rear end and the annular groove of the pulley 7 through the rear dust cover 3, forming the first protection structure. At the same time, a VD-type rubber sealing ring 9 is installed on the rear dust cover 3 to make it contact the end face of the pulley 7. During rotation, the VD-type rubber sealing ring 9 always contacts the end face of the pulley 7, realizing the second protection structure - contact-type full sealing.

[0030] The front end contacts the groove of the pulley 7 through the front dust cover 11 and always maintains static contact during rotation, realizing full-sealing dust-proof and forming the first protection structure; at the same time, a clearance is formed between the inner dust cover 1 and the pulley 7, realizing the second protection structure - clearance-type sealing.

[0031] Thus, the idle pulley achieves a double dust-proof structure at the front end and the rear end, avoiding the intrusion of external pollutants (mud, dust) at both ends.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the present utility model: This application realizes the full-sealing dust-proof of the idle pulley product, has a large space and strong versatility, can meet the installation needs of accessories with different size specifications, and the setting of multiple dust covers makes the protection ability stronger, can well protect the bearing, and effectively improves the sealing performance of the idle pulley.
