Its main function is to support the weight of the excavator and bulldozer, allowing the crawler track to move forward along the wheel. However, the existing track roller cannot prevent the chain track from falling off the track roller.
[0003] After searching, the publication number is (CN219857412U), which discloses an anti-falling structure for the supporting wheels of an excavator, including supporting wheels, fixing holes on both sides of the supporting wheels, anti-falling plates on both sides of the supporting wheels, connecting holes on the anti-falling plates, connecting rods between the connecting holes and the fixing holes, restraint blocks fixedly connected at both ends of the anti-falling plates, a spring fixedly connected inside the restraint blocks, a large ring fixedly connected to the restraint blocks, a small ring fixedly connected to the restraint blocks, a circular groove between the large ring and the small ring, a connecting ring movably connected inside the circular groove, an anti-pressure block fixedly connected to the spring, and a protective cover provided on the anti-pressure block.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solutions of the present application are as follows:
[0019] The technical solution of this application, through the arrangement of track shoes, track chains, main body of idler wheel, restraint housing, sealing ring, oil-soaked sponge block and steel balls, can not only use the steel balls in cooperation with the restraint housing to limit the track chain, thus effectively preventing the track chain from falling off the idler wheel, but also, due to the arrangement of the steel balls, ensure the smoothness of the contact between the track chain and the restraint housing, reduce the friction force of pairwise contact, thereby reducing the wear of each component. Moreover, since the steel balls can rotate in the restraint housing, the lubricating oil in the oil-soaked sponge block can be adhered to the surface of the steel balls, thus achieving the lubricating effect on the contact between the steel balls and the track chain, further reducing the friction force of the contact between the steel balls and the track chain, ensuring the limiting effect on the track chain, and reducing the driving energy consumption of the excavator.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-3, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a structure for preventing the idler wheel from falling off, including a crawler plate 1. A track link 11 is fixedly connected to the front end of the crawler plate 1. An idler wheel body 12 is movably installed at the front end of the track link 11. Binding frames 2 are arranged on both sides of the idler wheel body 12. Binding shells 21 are welded to both the upper and lower ends of the binding frames 2, and the binding shells 21 are arranged on the side close to the track link 11. A sealing plate 22 is arranged on one side of the binding shell 21. A sealing ring 23 is arranged in the middle of the sealing plate 22. An oil replenishing hole 25 is opened on one side of the binding shell 21. A sealing plug 26 is arranged in the inner cavity of the oil replenishing hole 25. A steel ball 3 is arranged in the inner cavity of the binding shell 21. The size of the sealing plate 22 is larger than the opening size of the binding shell 21, and the sealing plate 22 is detachably connected to the binding shell 21 by bolts, which is convenient for sealing and limiting the lubricating oil and the steel ball 3 through the sealing plate 22. The inner diameter of the sealing ring 23 is smaller than the diameter of the steel ball 3, and the oil-soaked sponge block 24 is wrapped outside the steel ball 3, which is convenient for limiting the position of the steel ball 3 through the sealing ring 23, and can reduce the entry of external impurities into the binding shell 21. The two binding frames 2 are symmetrically arranged, and the binding frames 2 are detachably connected to the idler wheel body 12 by fixing bolts, which is convenient for limiting the track link 11 through the arrangement of the binding frames 2, thereby avoiding the situation of the idler wheel body 12 falling off.
[0026] The size of the sealing plug 26 is adapted to the size of the oil replenishing hole 25, and the sealing plug 26 is hermetically connected to the oil replenishing hole 25, which is convenient for the staff to add lubricating oil to the oil-soaked sponge block 24 regularly through the oil replenishing hole 25 by the cooperation of the sealing plug 26 and the oil replenishing hole 25.
[0027] An oil-soaked sponge block 24 is placed in the inner cavity of the binding shell 21. The size of the oil-soaked sponge block 24 is adapted to the inner cavity size of the binding shell 21, which is convenient for the oil-soaked sponge block 24 in the binding shell 21 to cooperate, so as to lubricate the steel ball 3.
[0028] When the excavator turns, the steel ball 3 on the corresponding side will roll and contact with the track link 11. The steel ball 3 cooperates with the binding shell 21 to limit the track link 11, thereby effectively preventing the track link 11 from falling off the idler wheel. At the same time, due to the setting of the steel ball 3, the smoothness of the contact between the track link 11 and the binding shell 21 can be ensured, the friction force of the pairwise contact is reduced, thereby reducing the wear of each component. At the same time, since the steel ball 3 can rotate in the binding shell 21, the lubricating oil in the oil-soaked sponge block 24 can be adhered to the surface of the steel ball 3, thereby lubricating the contact between the steel ball 3 and the track link 11, further reducing the friction force of the contact between the steel ball 3 and the track link 11, ensuring the limiting effect on the track link 11, and reducing the driving energy consumption of the excavator.
