[0002] As an important component of the traveling mechanism of crawler construction machinery, the main function of the carrier roller is to support the weight of the whole machine, which requires high reliability.
[0003] At present, the sealing structure on the carrier roller mostly uses a floating oil seal structure. This seal is composed of a pair of floating seal rings and a pair of rubber rings. Its working principle is: dynamic sealing is achieved through the end face friction rotation of the floating seal ring, and the rubber ring provides axial pressure and compensates for the end face wear of the floating seal ring.
[0004] Although the floating oil seal structure has a good sealing effect, its reliability is poor. There are problems such as the sealing ability decreasing severely after the rubber ring ages due to temperature influence, and the relative rotation between the floating seal ring and the rubber ring easily causing seal failure. Summary of the Invention

The first annular sealing groove is opposite to the first step surface. A compensating ring is arranged in the first annular sealing groove. The sealing end face of the compensating ring abuts against the sealing end face of the non-compensating ring. A spring is arranged between the compensating ring and the bottom of the first annular sealing groove. The spring is used to provide axial pressure to compensate for the wear of the sealing end face of the compensating ring.
[0009] Preferably, first counterbores evenly distributed along the circumferential direction are arranged at the bottom of the first annular sealing groove, and the spring is installed in the first counterbores.

[0021] The utility model discloses a carrier roller with a combined sealing structure, which has good reliability and the seal is not easy to fail.
[0022] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below.

The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0023] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0024] Reference will be made below to Figure 1 Describe the carrier roller with a combined sealing structure in the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0025] The embodiments of the present application disclose a carrier roller with a combined sealing structure, including: a wheel body 1, a wheel shaft 2, a shaft seat 3 and a bush 4.
[0026] Wherein, the wheel body 1 is sleeved on the wheel shaft 2, a bush 4 is arranged between the wheel body 1 and the wheel shaft 2, shaft seats 3 are arranged at both ends of the wheel body 1, both shaft seats 3 are sleeved on the wheel shaft 2 and are fixedly connected to the wheel shaft 2.
[0027] Both end faces of the wheel body 1 are provided with an annular stepped structure, the annular stepped structure has a first step surface, a non-compensating ring 5 is arranged on the first step surface, and the non-compensating ring 5 is in interference fit with a first kick surface on the first step surface in the circumferential direction; a first annular sealing groove 31 is arranged on the end face of the shaft seat 3 facing the wheel body 1, the first annular sealing groove 31 is opposite to the first step surface, a compensating ring 6 is arranged in the first annular sealing groove 31, the sealing end face of the compensating ring 6 abuts against the sealing end face of the non-compensating ring 5, and a spring 7 is arranged between the compensating ring 6 and the bottom of the first annular sealing groove 31, and the spring 7 is used to provide axial pressure to compensate for the wear of the sealing end face of the compensating ring 6.
[0028] For example Figure 1As shown, the non-compensating ring 5 on the first step surface of the wheel body 1 is axially opposite to the compensating ring 6 in the first annular sealing groove 31 of the shaft seat 3, and their respective sealing end faces are in contact with each other to form an effective seal; a spring 7 is also arranged in the first annular sealing groove 31, and the spring 7 is used to provide sufficient axial pressure for the abutting fit between the compensating ring 6 and the non-compensating ring 5 to ensure the effective fit of the sealing end faces. At the same time, when the sealing end face of the compensating ring 6 is worn, the axial pressure provided by the spring 7 can also make the sealing end face of the worn compensating ring 6 always keep in abutting fit with the sealing end face of the non-compensating ring 5, so as to compensate for the wear of the sealing end face of the compensating ring 6.
[0029] By setting the spring 7 to compensate for the wear of the sealing end face of the compensating ring 6, compared with the floating seal structure, it will not age like the floating seal ring after working at high temperature for a long time. Therefore, the spring 7 can provide sufficient axial pressure for a long time to ensure the effectiveness of the seal, thus effectively improving the reliability of the idler and reducing the occurrence of oil leakage.
[0030] In some embodiments, the bottom of the first annular sealing groove 31 is provided with first counterbores evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, and the spring 7 is installed in the first counterbores.
[0031] For example Figure 1 As shown, the setting of the first counterbores can facilitate the installation of the spring 7 and can effectively limit the spring 7 to prevent the spring 7 from deforming and misaligning.
[0032] In some embodiments, a second annular sealing groove is provided on the end face of the non-compensating ring 5 facing the wheel body 1, and a first sealing ring 8 is arranged in the second annular sealing groove for sealing the gap between the end face of the non-compensating ring 5 and the end face of the wheel body 1.
[0033] For example Figure 1 As shown, the first sealing ring 8 can effectively seal the gap between the non-compensating ring 5 and the end face of the wheel body 1, prevent the oil from leaking from the gap, further improve the overall sealing performance of the sealing structure, and enhance the reliability of the idler.
[0034] In some embodiments, a third annular sealing groove is provided on the circumference of the compensating ring 6, and a second sealing ring 9 is arranged in the third annular sealing groove for sealing the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the compensating ring 6 and the side wall of the first annular sealing groove 31.
[0035] For example Figure 1 As shown, the second sealing ring 9 can effectively seal the gap between the compensating ring 6 and the side wall of the first annular sealing groove 31 of the shaft seat 3, prevent the oil from leaking from the gap, further improve the overall sealing performance of the sealing structure, and enhance the reliability of the idler.
[0036] In some embodiments, second counterbores evenly distributed in the circumferential direction are further provided at the bottom of the first annular sealing groove 31. Third counterbores are provided on the end face of the compensation ring 6 opposite to the second counterbores. The third counterbores correspond to the second counterbores one by one. Anti-rotation pins 10 are provided in the second counterbores. The anti-rotation pins 10 extend out of the second counterbores and extend into the third counterbores to prevent the compensation ring 6 from rotating with the rotation.
[0037] For example Figure 1 As shown, multiple second counterbores and multiple first counterbores are staggeredly arranged at the bottom of the first annular sealing groove 31. The anti-rotation pins 10 provided in the second counterbores can effectively prevent the compensation ring 6 from rotating, avoiding the situation of seal failure caused by the rotation of the compensation ring 6.
[0038] In some embodiments, the annular stepped structure further has a second stepped surface located outside the first stepped surface. The end face of the axle seat 3 facing the wheel body 1 is in clearance fit with the second stepped surface. A dust-proof ring 20 is provided on the second stepped surface. The inner side and the outer side of the dust-proof ring 20 are respectively in abutting fit with the outer peripheral surface of the axle seat 3 and the second kicking surface in the circumferential direction of the second stepped surface.
[0039] For example Figure 1 As shown, the dust-proof ring 20 can effectively seal the gap between the end face of the axle seat 3 and the second stepped surface, preventing dust from entering the inside of the wheel body 1 from the gap, and further enhancing the overall reliability of the idler.
