Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of excavator accessories, and specifically relates to an excavator idler wheel. Background Art

[0002] The idler wheel is one of the four wheels and one track of the crawler-type construction machinery chassis. Its function is to transfer the weight of the machine to the track and roll on the guide rail of the track. In the idler wheel, the copper bushing plays an important role. When the idler wheel rotates around the wheel shaft, the copper bushing directly contacts and wears with the wheel shaft instead of the idler wheel. In the prior art, a pin is commonly used to limit the position of the copper bushing, but there will be a situation where it is not easy to remove due to the deformation of the pin under force.

[0003] A Chinese utility model with the application number CN202323365469.9 discloses an excavator idler wheel, which includes a wheel body, a wheel shaft rotatably connected to the wheel body. The wheel body forms an open cylindrical structure. The inner wall of the opening of the wheel body is provided with a bushing. The bushing is located between the wheel shaft and the wheel body. The bushing is detachably installed on the inner wall of the wheel body and fixed by a locking structure. By setting a plurality of thrust bumps, the bushing and the thrust bumps are respectively embedded in the slot and the side slot to realize the circumferential position limitation of the bushing. The multiple thrust bumps limit the force on the bushing more evenly, which is convenient for pulling out the bushing and the thrust bumps later.

[0004] However, the inventor found that the device has the following problems: The nut is threadedly connected to the extension body to push the inner ring against the bushing to achieve axial position limitation. However, during the rotation of the idler wheel, vibration will occur, resulting in the loosening of the nut. Moreover, when the excavator is working, it is difficult to avoid some sundries such as soil blocks and stones from falling between the nut and the wheel shaft. As the idler wheel rotates, these sundries will further contact the nut and cause loosening, and finally it cannot play the role of limiting the bushing. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an excavator idler wheel in view of the deficiencies of the prior art. The excavator idler wheel includes an idler wheel body, an idler wheel shaft, and bushings symmetrically arranged at both ends of the idler wheel body, and further includes a limiting component; the limiting component includes two groups of pressing blocks, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the idler wheel body, and the pressing blocks are detachably installed on the idler wheel body by means of bump buckles. The pressing blocks are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the bushings, and the pressing blocks respectively block the corresponding bushings.
