Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crawlers, in particular to a crawler structure that realizes the single-track steering function. Background Art

[0002] According to the characteristics of crawlers, crawler vehicles have advantages such as high cross-country ability and strong load-carrying capacity, and are widely used in agricultural machinery, engineering vehicles and military vehicles. At present, most crawler vehicles are equipped with two or more crawlers, and the steering effect is achieved by the differential rotation or reverse rotation of the two crawlers. Due to the limitation of the double-crawler steering principle, double-crawler vehicles must be equipped with two or more crawlers, which inevitably affects the width of the crawler vehicle by the number and width of the crawlers, that is, the vehicle width must be greater than or approximately equal to the width of two crawlers. At the same time, because the vehicle steering needs to be achieved by the rotation of two crawlers at different speeds and in different directions, it is required that the crawler vehicle must rely on a coaxial non-directional transmission mechanism or a similar complex steering mechanism, and the above mechanism also increases the structural complexity of the crawler vehicle. Content of the Utility Model

After the crawler structure that realizes the single-track steering function is installed and used on the vehicle, a single crawler has the steering function while having power, and at the same time simplifies the structure of the crawler vehicle and reduces the width limitation of the crawler vehicle, so that some small crawler vehicles, such as crawler motorcycles, etc., can reduce the number of crawlers from two to one, simplifies the steering structure in front of the vehicle, and also reduces the difficulty of maintenance.

The front part and the middle part of the support block 6 are fixedly connected to the crawler plate 1 up and down as a whole. A second side pin hole 601 is provided inside the rear part of the support block 6. The second side pin hole 601 is located behind the crawler plate 1 and extends in the left-right direction. The second pin shaft 4 passes through the second side pin hole 601, and the second pin shaft 4 has a transition fit or a clearance fit with the second side pin hole 601.

[0043] The support block 6 on the left and the support block 6 on the right are symmetric about the left and right and are mirror images of each other. The side pin ears 5 on the left and the side pin ears 5 on the right are symmetric about the left and right and are mirror images of each other. The guiding teeth 8 on the left and the guiding teeth 8 on the right are symmetric about the left and right and are mirror images of each other. The sludge discharge port 801 on the left is higher than the upper surface of the support block 6 on the left, and the sludge discharge port 801 on the right is higher than the upper surface of the support block 6 on the right. The upper surface of the support block 6 can be a flat surface or an arc surface.

[0044] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, in a crawler unit 10, the middle connector 2 can be generally in a flat plate structure. The projection of the front part of the middle connector 2 on the horizontal plane is a rectangle, and the projections of the middle and rear parts of the middle connector 2 on the horizontal plane are triangles. A first upper middle pin hole 201 is provided in the middle and rear parts of the middle connector 2, and the axis of the first upper middle pin hole 201 extends in the up and down direction. A second upper middle pin hole 202 is provided in the front part of the middle connector 2, and the second upper middle pin hole 202 extends in the left and right direction. The second upper middle pin hole 202 and the first upper middle pin hole 201 are arranged at intervals in the front and rear. The middle pin ear 7 is a semi-circular structure protruding forward. The middle pin ear 7 is fixedly connected to the crawler plate 1 front and rear as a whole. The middle pin ear 7 contains a lower middle pin hole 701.

[0045] In a crawler unit 10, the middle connector 2, the first pin shaft 3, and the middle pin ear 7 are independent of each other, as Figure 1 and Figure ② shown. Alternatively, the middle connector 2 and the first pin shaft 3 are connected as a whole (i.e., an integral structure), and the first pin shaft 3 is detachably connected to the middle pin ear 7. Alternatively, the middle pin ear 7 and the first pin shaft 3 (and the crawler plate 1) are connected as a whole (i.e., an integral structure), and the first pin shaft 3 is detachably connected to the middle connector 2. Washers or shims can also be used when the first pin shaft 3 is installed and connected.

[0046] In two adjacent crawler units 10 front and rear, the second pin shaft 4 of the front crawler unit 10 passes through the second upper middle pin hole 202 of the middle connector 2 of the rear crawler unit 10. The second pin shaft 4 has an interference fit or a clearance fit with the second upper middle pin hole 202. The first pin shaft 3 of the rear crawler unit 10 passes through the first upper middle pin hole 201 and the lower middle pin hole 701 of the rear crawler unit 10. The first pin shaft 3 has an interference fit or a clearance fit with the first upper middle pin hole 201, and the first pin shaft 3 has an interference fit or a clearance fit with the lower middle pin hole 701.

[0047] The following introduces a vehicle, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the vehicle includes a frame 11, and a wheel 14, a front fork 15, and a steering handlebar 12 that are sequentially connected. The front fork 15 is connected to the frame 11 through a shaft coupling ear 13. The vehicle also only includes one above-mentioned crawler structure that realizes the single-track steering function (which can also be called a crawler capable of realizing single-track steering). The wheel 14 is connected to the crawler structure that realizes the single-track steering function. The wheel 14 can drive the crawler structure that realizes the single-track steering function to move forward and turn.

[0048] Along the circumference of the wheel 14, the outer peripheral surface of the wheel 14 includes a first outer large-diameter section 1401, a second middle large-diameter section 1402, an intermediate small-diameter section 1403, a second middle large-diameter section 1402, and a first outer large-diameter section 1401 that are sequentially connected. The outer diameter of the first outer large-diameter section 1401 is greater than the outer diameter of the second middle large-diameter section 1402, and the outer diameter of the second middle large-diameter section 1402 is greater than the outer diameter of the intermediate small-diameter section 1403.

[0049] The first outer large-diameter section 1401 corresponds to the outer side section 502. The edge of the first outer large-diameter section 1401 includes a plurality of first insertion grooves 1404. The plurality of first insertion grooves 1404 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the first outer large-diameter section 1401. The first insertion grooves 1404 can be inserted into the outer side section 502 in a matching manner. The second middle large-diameter section 1402 corresponds to the induction tooth 8. The edge of the second middle large-diameter section 1402 includes a plurality of second insertion grooves. The plurality of second insertion grooves are evenly spaced along the circumference of the second middle large-diameter section 1402. The second insertion grooves can be inserted into the induction tooth 8 in a matching manner. The way of the second insertion grooves being inserted into the induction tooth 8 in a matching manner is the same as the way of the first insertion grooves 1404 being inserted into the outer side section 502 in a matching manner. The intermediate small-diameter section 1403 can be in contact with the upper surface of the support block 6.

[0050] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, the matching insertion of the first insertion grooves 1404 into the outer side section 502 is similar to the meshing connection of gears. The matching insertion of the first insertion grooves 1404 into the outer side section 502 can prevent the wheel 14 from detaching from the crawler structure that realizes the single-track steering function. The matching insertion of the second middle large-diameter section 1402 into the induction tooth 8 is also similar to the meshing connection of gears, which can better guide the matching insertion of the first insertion grooves 1404 into the outer side section 502.

[0051] When the wheel 14 rotates, the wheel 14 can drive the crawler structure that realizes the single-track steering function to move forward, and the wheel 14 can transmit power to the crawler structure that realizes the single-track steering function. When steering is required, the steering handlebar 12 drives the front fork 15 and the wheel 14 to swing left or right. Among the two adjacent crawler units 10 in front and behind below the front fork 15, the crawler plates 1 of the two crawler units 10 can all rotate correspondingly around the first pin shaft 3 of the rear crawler unit 10, so as to realize the steering function of the crawler structure that realizes the single-track steering function.

[0052] By applying the crawler structure capable of realizing the single-rail steering function to a crawler motorcycle, the wheel type and sled steering structures in the existing design can be removed, and a steering device such as a motorcycle handlebar can be adopted. By twisting the steering handlebar 12, the vehicle can be guided to turn. Therefore, since the driver sits on the rear driver's seat of the motorcycle and most of the weight is on the load-bearing wheels at the rear end, there will be no great turning resistance when twisting the handlebar to guide the vehicle to turn. In order to optimize the vehicle turning performance, a guiding wheel for auxiliary steering can also be added in the middle of the vehicle to improve the steering efficiency. Since the whole vehicle adopts a crawler structure without an additional wheel type or sled steering mechanism, the maintenance cost and difficulty of the crawler vehicle are reduced, and the passability of the vehicle on various road surfaces is improved. For a motorcycle originally designed with two crawlers, the width of the vehicle can also be reduced by changing the installation of the crawlers from both sides to directly below the middle of the vehicle, thereby improving the passing ability of the vehicle on narrow roads.

Therefore, the replacement of equivalent components or the equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of protection of the present invention patent should still fall within the scope covered by this patent.
