Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crawler components, and particularly relates to a crawler track link structure. Background Art

[0002] The insertion and cooperation of the track link and the pin shaft of the crawler play a crucial role in construction machinery. As the basic component unit of the crawler, the track link has a delicate structure and can fit tightly together to form a continuous and strong running belt. The pin shaft is like the backbone of this steel python, accurately inserted between each track link to firmly connect them together.

[0003] This design not only endows the crawler with strong tensile strength and compressive capacity, enabling it to maintain a stable running posture under various harsh working conditions, but also ensures the smoothness and flexibility of the crawler during the running process. The precise cooperation between the track link and the pin shaft enables the crawler to adapt to various complex terrains, such as muddy, rugged, sandy, etc., providing reliable ground support and forward power for construction machinery.

[0004] In addition, the material selection of the track link and the pin shaft is also crucial. They are usually made of high-strength and high-wear-resistant alloy steel, and through strict heat treatment and surface treatment processes to ensure good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance during long-term use. This design not only extends the service life of the crawler, but also improves the overall reliability and economy of construction machinery.

[0005] In summary, the insertion and cooperation of the track link and the pin shaft of the crawler are important guarantees for construction machinery to smoothly carry out various operations, and they jointly constitute an indispensable running system for construction machinery.

[0006] The inventor found the following problems in the prior art that have not been well solved during the implementation of this solution: Although the pin shaft and the link are only inserted and connected, seemingly easy to install, the pin shaft and the link are in interference fit. During installation, a hydraulic device is required for top installation, and during disassembly, a hydraulic device is also required for top disassembly. During the implementation of the project, this kind of hydraulic disassembly and assembly equipment is generally not equipped, and some small hydraulic disassembly and assembly equipment will take a long time for disassembly and assembly due to too small pressure. Therefore, when the track link needs to be replaced due to wear during running and heavy pressure from the idler wheel, the interference fit between the traditional track link and the pin shaft will make it difficult to quickly complete disassembly and assembly on site, affecting the project progress. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a crawler track link structure, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0014] Preferably, the inner diameters of the retaining spring and the sealing ring are respectively smaller than the inner diameter of the pin hole.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The cam is connected to the threaded groove of the threaded rod and the threaded groove to squeeze the sealing ring during adjustment. A retaining spring is also embedded in the end of the inner ring groove away from the sealing ring, so that the retaining spring and the stopper can clamp and squeeze the sealing ring, so that when the two adjacent chain links rotate through the pin shaft, the outer end portion located at the pin hole position can also have a sealing effect to avoid friction damage caused by dust entering. At the same time, since the stopper is blocked by the retaining spring, it can be connected with the threaded groove of the threaded rod to enable the pin shaft to be stably located between the inner ring groove, the sleeve hole and the shaft cylinder, thereby avoiding the problem of detachment and ensuring the stability of the chain track link during use.

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] As Figures 1-4 shown, a crawler track link structure includes a link 1 and a pin shaft 2. The number of links 1 is two. The link 1 includes two tread ends 11. One end of each tread end 11 is provided with a sleeve end 12, and the other end of each tread end 11 is provided with a pin end 13. Sleeve holes 121 are respectively drilled on the side walls of the sleeve ends 12, and pin holes 131 are respectively drilled on the side walls of the pin ends 13. Inner ring grooves 1311 are respectively drilled at one end close to the outside in the pin holes 131. Circlips 132 are respectively embedded at the outer ends inside the inner ring grooves 1311, and sealing rings 133 are respectively embedded at the inner ends inside the inner ring grooves 1311. Thread grooves 21 are respectively drilled at both ends of the pin shaft 2. Stop blocks 31 are respectively provided at both ends of the pin shaft 2 at the positions of the thread grooves 21. Threaded rods 3 are respectively fixed on the sides of the stop blocks 31 close to the pin shaft 2, and adjusting grooves 32 are respectively drilled on the sides of the stop blocks 31 away from the threaded rods 3.

[0024] Specifically, a shaft cylinder 4 is arranged between the sleeve ends 12. The shaft cylinder 4 is respectively communicated with the sleeve holes 121 of the sleeve ends 12, and the pin shaft 2 and the threaded rod 3 respectively penetrate through the shaft cylinder 4 and are communicated with the sleeve holes 121 through both ends of the shaft cylinder 4. The inner dimension of the shaft cylinder 4 matches the outer dimension of the pin shaft 2, which is convenient for installing the pin shaft 2.

[0025] Specifically, the threaded rod 3 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 21 respectively. The two ends of the pin shaft 2 passing through the sleeve hole 121 are respectively inserted into the interior of the pin hole 131. The side walls of the stopper 31 away from the threaded rod 3 are respectively in contact with the side walls of the sealing ring 133 close to them. The snap spring members 132 are respectively in contact with the side of the sealing ring 133 away from the stopper 31. The distance can be adjusted so that the stopper 31 and the snap spring members 132 cooperate to clamp the sealing ring 133 and form an end seal.

[0026] Specifically, the inner diameter dimensions of the snap spring members 132 and the sealing ring 133 are respectively smaller than the inner diameter dimension of the pin hole 131.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] Since it is not an interference fit, after the pin shaft 2 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 3 through the threaded groove 21, it is inserted from the pin hole 131 on one side and then inserted into the pin hole 131 on the other side. During this process, it penetrates through the sleeve hole 121 and the shaft cylinder 4. The sealing ring 133 is embedded at one end close to the stopper 31 inside the inner ring groove 1311, while the snap spring members 132 are embedded at one end away from the sealing ring 133 inside the inner ring groove 1311 through a pair of pliers. A hexagon bolt is inserted into the adjustment groove 32 and rotated, so that the stopper 31 can approach the sealing ring 133 and cooperate with the snap spring members 132 to form a clamping and squeezing effect. When the adjacent two chain links 1 rotate through the pin shaft 2, the outer end part at the position of the pin hole 131 can also play a sealing effect, preventing dust from entering and causing friction damage. At the same time, since the stopper 31 is blocked by the snap spring members 132, the pin shaft 2 can be stably located between the inner ring groove 1311, the sleeve hole 121 and the shaft cylinder 4 through the connection between the threaded rod 3 and the threaded groove 21, avoiding the problem of detachment and ensuring the stability of the track link during use.
